Don't cry..

Darkness comes, hovers us, hold me
tight and we’ll chase the light..
Come with me, never go coz time and
again you will fly..
Dance in the rain as we bathe in the
ponderous sun..
Dry with me tears which won’t cause
you to hold back and fly..

Away, we explore new horizon..
Away, we’ll find no other reason..
To live like a dream in the shadows,
to dent the crease coz you will be
here..

Caress the wind it’s calling you to
journey back the pathway of time..
Treasure the present, tomorrow it’s my
turn to fly..

Away, where we break from the
darkness..
Away, where the light fills the mazes..
The door to my heart yet unleashes..
The cry for you to come back home..

I am here.. Don’t cry..
We’ll bring back the reason coz then
you’ll try to move on..
We wake from the haze still bit blurry
but in each other’s arms…

I am here.. Drenched in tears..
Come to me.. Now and take me..

Away, where our happiness ceases..
Away.. where we won’t see each other..
Away.. where you’re crying to pieces..
Remember me coz i will be there..

Away, we explore new horizon..
Away, we’ll find no other reason..
To live like a dream in the shadows..
As i cry for you to come back home..

Away… Away… Away.. Don’t cry..

wisdom from pain

we cry and shed tears when we feel it. We get depressed and feel bad at times too. But this feeling does not only elicit those things that I said. In worst situation that feeling can even cause death. Deadly huh? It can even torture you little by little which is really hard to control at hindi mo rin matatake!!!

That feeling is pain. It is pain. It is defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with either actual or potential tissue damage. It can be somatic, visceral, superficial, vascular, referred, neuropathic, phantom, cancer, psychogenic or central. Marami no? Studying them one bye one can even give you pain..hahaha. Pero seriously, marami tlaga sila and siyempre lahat sila me kanya kanyang field sa kung anu man ang magkakaron ng pain. For example, somatic pain is pain that is elicited by skeletal muscles, ligaments and joints meanwhile visceral pain originates from organs and marami pang iba. Masakit talaga and siyempre para matolerate mo yun minsan hindi lang enough ang pagdepend sa processes na ginagawa ng body natin para gumaling ang pain. Sometimes, we have to consult doctors for the appropriate drug to take. These medicines are called analgesic. It inhibits pain so you can call it pain killers. There are a lot of drugs to choose sa analgesic nalang so believe me..ang hirap ng pharma!!! Analgesic can be subdivided into two kinds namely, opioid and non opioid. Opioid are even subdivided into three kinds but I won’ explain it further. It will only add to the pain I have hahaha.

Acetaminophen or popularly known Paracetamol here in the Philippines are only two from the many Analgesic drugs that are available. From those drugs makakapili pa kasi my different unique things pa na iooffer per drug. Gaya ng paracetamol.. pwede siyang pangtanggal ng pain at the same time for fever. Meron din namang iba pangpamanhid at siyempre marami pang iba..Pero haha..icucut ko na kasi hindi naman talga eto yung topic ko. Hindi gamut but pain though pain na hindi related sa as in mga clinical na sakit.

Pain can be from emotional too and its true. Minsan hindi lang sa malfunctioning ng mga organs natin. Minsan from our relationship to other people makakinflict parin ng pain. Like for example, when two people set apart from each other, pag nagbreak sila. Minsan mas gugustuhin mo pang makafeel ng pain na health related kesa sa pain from an intimate relationship.Minsan pain na galing sa away sa family, sa friends, sa school and sometimes pain sa community. Dahil kasi sa social responsibilities natin minsan kelangan isa una yung ikabubuti ng iba,, ganun din naman sa friend relationship. Mahirap yun harapin and minsan nga cause tlaga yung ng pagpapakamatay ng mga tao. Yung mga taong sangkot sa mga krimen, panloloko and minsan rin sa mga scandal di ba? Dahil hindi nila matake yung pain, gusto na nilang kitilin ang buhay nila para matapos na lahat. Minsan din, naiisip ko n asana may gamot nalang sa mga ganung klaseng pain, para kung heartbroken ka sa isang tablet lang o capsule hindi mo nay un mararamdaman. Para siguro kahit ilang oras lang free ka from pain. Sana nga may gamot na ganoon.

At times din naiisip ko dahil parang sobra kong iniimmerse yung sarili ko from my environment mabilis akong makaramdam ng pain. I easily shed tears pag may nakikita akong lola or lola sa jeep na parang hirap na hirap na pero sige parin sa pagpunta fron one place to another para sa work nila. Naiiyak din ako kung may nakikita akong mga kuting sa kalsada na walang matuluyan. Kanina nga nauulanan na siya. I wanted to help pero stupid me wala parin akong nagawa. I easily cry kahit simpleng bagay lang ata. Crying lady nga tawag nina dolly sakin kasi kung manuud kami sobrang iyak na ako sa gilid kahit simple lang yung story. Hahaha..ewan ko ba kung bakit ako ganun. Parang sobrang sensitive ako sa mgabagay bagay na mabilis mag soften yung puso ko. Alam ko it’s good to have a heart like mine kasi sensitive ako sa mga feeling ng nasa paligid ko, I understand better, nakakrelate ako better and I can easily adapt and caution my myself depending from the situation. Pero sometimes gusto kong lagi nalang naactivate ang A fiber ko kasi ang hirap ng laging may dinadamdam at dinadala. Minsan sa dami nun hirap na akong magbalance. Hindi rin kasi pwedeng idala yung problem nay un sa skul na dapat sa bahay lang. Minsan din parang gusto kong magtake ng propofol paralahat talaga hindi ko maramdaman at hindi ako maging aware. Sana pwede ang mga anesthetics sa everyday living hahaha..

Pero siyempre kung iisipin mo, hindi rin magandang my gamot palagi. Kasi kung may ganoong gamot hindi rin naman masosolve yung pain afterwards matapos na yung duration ng gamot. At kung may anesthetic man o mga analgesic man na gamot para sa mga nabanggit ko di parang self centered narin tayo kasi hindi na tayo nakakefeel ng pain. Kung lahat ng tao may gamot na ganun di kahit pala magpatayan na tayu at magkasakitan parang wala lang kasi wala talga tayong mararamdaman. Sabi nga ni sir Gonzales pain is a nice thing though for most siyempre hindi tlaga. Pero without pain pano mo mararamdaman yung harmful para sayo? Without pain how will you know that you are about to let your self be impaired? Without pain paano mo malalaman na kelngan mo ng ilayo yung sarili mo sa isang bagay? And in a subjective way, how will you let yourself grow without pain?

Ang galing no? kanina ko lang narealize..kasi lagi akong nagrereklamo pero I should be thankful that I can still feel pain. Pain man from school, family, sa bahay , from friends and more. Kasi with those pain, I can be a better person, mas magiging strong ako sa pag face ng problems na bound for me. With those pain mas makakahugot ka ng inspiration to pursue you dreams, to protect you family, to succeed in school, to be a better friend and to be worthy enough for God.

Life is full of pain, totoo. Pero I think if you look on the brighter side, if you just adapt to the pain, be strong to face it and to be affirmative on the way of facing it, to be resourceful and if you just think and realize na hindi lang yun para sa sarili mo but for all the people who are important to you and for all people who are living kasi whatever you do magbebenefit naman ang lahat, the pain will be manageable. Sabi nga ni sir, meditation can be a drug narin kasi nga sa CNS naman lahat nakaconnect diba and with the way of thinking and analyzing pwede kang gumaling. It depends talga sa outlook mo, how you understand the pain and how will you react on it. Kelangan talga full of wisdom ka. Kaya becoming positive I think can be healthy talga.

Painful noh? pero it can also be not right?

secret

those are the words of wisdom i read first thing in the morning and believe me tinamaan ako.. sabi nga God will provide the things we need and the things we should have pero it's up to us parin kung anung gagawin natin from it. nasa tin na kung gagawa tayu ng positive things from it or babaliwain natin.. sabi nga ni nadine sa phil. star..dati daw dahil naniniwala siya na mapupunta sayu anu man ang gusto mo kung destined sayo yun..she never tried to fight back or at least showed some effort whenever she wants something. she said, " why waste all my energy when the universe will still decide who gets what and who doesn't"? kaya she lived each day doing as little work as she could because she believed destiny would take care of everything. until the strong current of life took her. waters crashed her and she was broken into pieces. why? because she never tried to fight what she wants..umaasa nalng siya sa langit..kung anu man ang ibigay sa kanya..until she realized that it is time she work things out..that she has to do something with her life. she decided to pick her bones and figured out how she will put it back to its original form. and she said that up to this day, she is still swimming, with her head proudly popping above the surface.

it's very inspiring for me..haha..she is now very proud that she is fighting despite with the many troubles and problems that is bound for her. sabi niya alam na niya kung sino ang makakatulong sa kanya- her self.. kasi kahit na the universe is all powerful, hindi naman yun ang nagdedecide for everything..it is just a strong force created to be of service to teh real masters..and tayu yun..tayu naman talaga ang mag dedecide kung anu gusto nating mangyari..it's up to us if we have the drive or we just let the waters to crush as too.. walang impossible sa mundo as long as you give your whole self on anything..

naalala ko tuloy a friend.. sabi kasi niya she always try her best..ginagawa naman niya lahat pero bakit hindi parin daw successful..now, maybe.. i already know the answer..nagkulang kasi siya sa trust..she always doubts..and sabi nga sa book..you always have to act..your action must match your wants..minsan kasi si she has short patience..maybe she has a reason for it maybe from experience but i believe in waiting parin until the time comes..eto example..from the newspaper ulit..a woman wanted a perfect partner. She thought about how he would be in detail..and she believed he will come. She was waiting for a few months and nothing happened until she realize she was not making her life ready for what she is asking for. She started preparing things, like parking her car on "her" side of garage. She cleared out some space from her closet and set aside "his" side of closet. She then started sleeping on "her" side of bed insted of sleeping in the middle like she normally would. In a month or so, she finally-believe it or not- met her "perfect" partner in a resto and they are now happily married. gets? so maybe that was the reason..siguro at the back of my friends mind my fear, doubt parin on what she really wants in life. she is scared.. and she always says that.. she still doesnt have the enough strenght to fight..lagi niyang ina under estimate ang sarili niya na hindi naman dapat because she has what it takes eh.. lagi niyang sinasabing useless siya..nakakahiya siya..etc. maybe that was the lacking part..she just maybe needs to pick up her self first and fix it gain..she has to believe in herself..believe that she can do anything kasi she is capable..i know it kasi im her friend..i may not know her completely but i know her strenghts and weaknesses somehow.. that's maybe the reason why she was not given the chance to pursue what she wanted because of that..kasi siyempre she needs to be strong when the new wave will come..lalo na kung high tide o tsunami yun.. she is not yet prepared so kelangan niyang munang magstep back and think..pero it doesnt mean naman na she will not have it. she will..but in time pag ready na siya totally..mahirap ang hindi mag doubt ako nga rin nag kakamali..pero tama nga naman yung wisdom na natutunan ko today..it's up to us parin tlga.. just learn to trust talga

i was thinking and maybe the reason why i am still here is because some of the things/wisdom i read was already on my sytem..i trust myself though hindi totally parin hahaha.. i try to minimize the doubt..as much as possible i always limit it..lagi kong pinipigilan..and i always act and have been prepared.. actually last sem ko lng yun narealize..i've been focusing and emersing my self on the possible work that i will have in the future..nailagay ko na sa isip ko na i'll be always at servive with people..that i will be needed that i will always have to help even within 24 hrs. naisiksik ko na sa utak ko na i will have to set aside my feelings, my personal choices in life because i have to prioritize my patients and other people first before my self..nakadecide na ako on what will i do and what will i have in the future..dahil i want to be a doctor..rineready ko na yung self ko na i have to study again for another 4-5 years..i have to be away with my family..i have to set aside my other dreams..kelangan kong isantabi muna yung iba.. actually dati..nabwibwisit ako na lagi nlng akong maagang gumigising na laging kulang tulog pero grabe nung nag college ako..nadecide ko na na everyday ganun na talga yung mangyayari..and i wont have the power to change it kasi yun na tlga foever ang magiging routine ko..so i always wake up early na hindi na nabwibwisit..alam ko nang 24/7 i need to wake up very early and i believe my system have absorbed it kasi kahit walang pasok nagigising na ako ng maaga..and im not tired of it..im even happy..mas focused na ako ngayun..i now know my priorities and alam ko na yung mga sacrifices na kelangan kong gawin and i give up..like watching tv, updating my multiply..hindi na ako everyday nag nenet kasi i know i have to focus on some other things aside from those..hindi na ako lumalabas at nagstay sa skul ng late kasi i have to control my time..i dont own my time kasi hindi ko siya pwedeng palitan..hindi ako pwedeng yung kung anu anu nalng ang gagawin ko kasi nakadikta na kung anu gagawin ko eh..i just need to manage my time and enjoy every single moment with it..mapa pharma man yan..nutri o ncm..haha..hai i always love writing my thoughts its as if i am replenished again and in full control again with my life..hopefully the energy will not subside..haha.. im not totally as in todong todo rin kasi naman focused..sometimes i make mistakes pero i work it out naman..i make it up to it na i need to work harder.. haha..we always have mistakes pero we can minimize it if we want dba? we can be better as long as want..we can have all the things in this world as long as we want..as long as we have the determination, patient, discipline, faith in God, trust in your self..

sana makatulong din to at makainspire gaya ng pag inspire ni nadine and rhonda sakin..let us all..pick our broken self..and make it a better one..lets be prepared and be guided. whatever is going on in our mind is what we are attracting.. law of attraction i apply..haha

and sabi nga sa..ask as if the blessings- your every wish, hope and dream- are already coming..show them you are ready..aja!

let's be prepared with good grades and the blue and white uniform..without doubt, fear and hesitations and surely we'll achieve it..AJA!!!

now..have you figured out the secret? haha..aja!

For the Love of my Country




It was June 12, 2010 and i was with my college friends at Eastwood City. We were waiting for the most awaited celebration of Independence day. There will be fireworks and singing, then suddenly the sky was filled with colorful fireworks. Suddenly, i felt different seeing my friends with me in gay, standing tall at the ground and having all the things i needed in life just enough to survive. On that moment of my life i found answers i was looking for for days and that's what I'm gonna share today.

I grew up at a town called Cabugao in Ilocos Sur with dad and grand mom. My mom was abroad for work and my two sisters were studying in Manila for College. Even though my family was not completely physical with me, distance was not a problem although emotionally I badly missed them. I was born with a family who's hearts are very pure and loving. We were known at our town so i guess i received lots of love from all. Plus, i was the youngest in our family that's why all our relatives were all eyes in me as i grew up.


when i was a kid i felt blessed on the things i was a able to receive. Ability to sing, intelligence, kind heart and a happy behavior that made my childhood days close to perfect if not perfect.i guess, i got my singing prowess at my moms side. I still remember since i started schooling on a school were my grandmothers are the boss, i got the chance to expose my talents and since then i was able to improve it and showcase them in every program. I started performing when i was 3 and it continued till i got high school. My grandparent's were also teachers and it must have been the root of my intelligence. My parent's are very lovely too, that i believe i got inherited from them my ability to be with friends with all. i was, i believe a good kid that i seldom get fights with my friends. They say I'm very kind hearted and considerate for almost everything. The blood that i have is the reason for all the things I have and I am today.

In my journey in life, i have met a lot of people mostly Filipino's and they have managed to catch my heart. They were my strength and happiness when I'm out from home. I feel like they are my second family. We share different kinds of commonalities. Our love for food, clothes, music, entertainments and not to mention boys. I am so lucky for having them always at my side and honestly i can tell that they really helped me a lot on not only my problems but my life holistically. I'm grateful, they are Filipinos because all we know, Filipinos have great personalities and i found all those with them.



Schooling was also one the best thing that happened in my life. With it, i was able get smarter everyday. All my teachers were superb in different ways. They have different personalities but all of them have a unique touch that made them straight to my heart. I mean for some people, studying is boring and a waste of time. i also think that way before but because my teachers since pre school were very industrious and loving to all their students i was able to understand the treasures behind it. From then, i started to love sitting on my chairs while lectures are being done. i look forward to days where i will get to enter on my favorite teachers class. What i really like from them is not only that they share knowledge with us, but they share us wisdom too that makes me inspire a lot. i have learned a lot life experience because of them. Now, I'm a fourth year nursing student at St.Lukes College of Nursing, Trinity University of Asia and my teachers helped me to realize my dream. I mean, i wasn't into nursing before but as i started listening to wonders of human body everyday i found the best place for me to grow up. My school helped me to reach out for my dreams and in the future achieve my personal legend.


I believe not being born here in the Philippines and not being a Filipino would make it possible to achieve, meet, have, and acquire all the things i have now. That's the answer i was looking for. Could there be other reason why i am proud to be and love being a Filipino? i guess none. My family, friends, teachers, the blood running to me and all the Filipino characteristics i got surely swept it all! I AM VERY PROUD TO BE A FILIPINO!
