Post Retreat Realization

(c) MIKKA MARCAIDA

1. It's not about the place, it's about the people.

2. It's not about crying, laughing, or simply enjoying the moment.. It's about "being together."

3. I'm fully aware that I can't be with my friends forever. But I could keep all the memories, cherish 'em when I'm sad, and treasure the moments we shared for a lifetime.



I'll write a comprehensive Post retreat blog as soon as I get the awesome pictures from my other blockmates. It'll take awhile...

I'm a proud member of PSYCHOLOGY 5 BATCH 2013

Fighting egocentricity with responsibilities

I'm not a people-oriented person. And I almost embraced my awkwardness fully, way back in high school. Half of senior year is over, and the remaining half will not be less rough. I never expected this. Now, I'm caught in the middle of successfully managing a small publication and disappointing everyone else. Then, I got qualified in a quiz contest! I couldn't even imagine myself being qualified...and be team captain. What are the odds? :))

Life is giving me lemons! And I think I'm not yet ready to make some lemonade :))

Fishbowl

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
I'm so f'ed up with Med school application stress.

And now, it's already November! I'm days away on submitting my application forms and processing other documents :|

Take a risk. Dare to try.

--these two might not be  the keys to success, but you know what? at least, this belief will let me go somewhere rather than be stuck-fixated with my problems.

Here's the story...

I just randomly picked a paper from a fishbowl before our Pre-Med talk that was sponsored by Lingkod E.R. 

And here's what I got:

I don't believe in signs or whatsoever. 
I take this as a challenge! 
*game face on*

Med school is not a form of calling...it's a decision.
