it's been so long since i visited my blog.. lots of exciting things happened to me for the whole month of march.. and perhaps the most exciting, life changing, and major decision making happened to me in picking the med school that i would to on to.. no turning back, this is it! i'm into University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Medicine and Surgery...

---> Contract on the Confirmation to Enroll


---> official receipt of reservation of slot


---- > the official receipt....again..

i should say, there's no turning back.. last March 30, 2007, i finally payed the reservation fee.. the funny thing is i only learned that i was qualified in UST a week ago.. honestly, i do not have any intentions of going there.. neither did i imagine my self studying at UST.. i felt like the place is so tight, no freedom, and very different from my life in UP... but well, the least thing you imagine or like will most likely be given to you...

i remember while i was on the "wrong" line in cashier's office upon my payment (thanks to kuya burger who came and told me that i was on the wrong line), and even while i was on the right line, i was telling my self that "eto na to... there's no turning back in two things: (1) officially you will be a Thomasian by 90% and the other 10% will be after paying the full tuition, finding a boarding house, start reading the thick medical books, and wearing the uniform which happened to be a skirt (and yes, i have problems in imagining my self wearing white skirt as part of the uniform for the next 4 years!!!!!).... and the other no-turning-back is (2) i'll really be pursuing medicine! gosh! i was in grade school i remembered that my dreams of becoming a doc started to build up, and it remained until now... i have no regrets, only that i could not just believe that i am just a few steps away from my dreams..

i was glad that i talked to my cousin last friday... i asked her if she was happy with her work in the call center (she's already an HR manager and started as agent two years ago)... despite the change in lifestyle, making the night your day and vice versa.. and she immediately answered me YES! she said: "dati nag iisip ako kung ano ang feeling ng mga boss ko, nakikiharap sa mga executives, pero ngayon, eto na, nararanasan ko na!".. honestly, i was liked hit by what she said.. i definitely have the same feeling she had before.. i do have high regard with doctor, as if they are very high and respectable, and i have been wondering how to deal with them in the very normal manner.. and yes, my cousin's right, what ever dreams you have, you could not have them easily, you have to work hard to achieve them... indeed, i am more excited in this new chapter of life.. and upon conversing with my cousin, i told my self that whenever i feel like giving up or stressed in med, i will just remember this one of the inspiring conversations i had with people, to remind me that i am close in achieving my dream, only that i have to pursue harder.... and give my BEST!
