Meraki

 Meraki [may-rah-kee] The idea of adding love, and the essence of yourself to everything you do.

Yesterday, I went to the medical school I got accepted into and officially enrolled for this upcoming school year. 3 years ago, I was frustrated and anxious, yesterday my heart is so grateful. After few years of waiting and taking a leap of faith, it's finally a Road to MD moment! I'm clueless to what's ahead of me. Yet certainly, God will bless my plans.

Ascend

They said if you climb way up to the mountains if your heart is grieving, you'll feel like it's the same as facing obstacles along your way through life. I made my own version of climbing the way to the top of that mountain. At first everything seems bright, the path is easier and wider without growing bushes or plants with thorns that might cut you. 

A Trip to Sagada

The usual time of travel from manila to Sagada is about 8-9 hours but unfortunately, ours took longer than expected due to traffic from a road accident. While on the road, I keep my composure and just listen to some random funky music to ease my frustration. Some of us are quite nervous because the road to Sagada includes steep and deep sided cliffs that could make you feel anxious if you're not used to the breathtaking view.  Our trip became a whole day.

Summer

It was May, and I feel the warm summer wind as I enjoy a few bites of sweet cookies and read one of the works of an inspiring author I truly admire. I woke up at exactly 6AM, not my usual time of breakfast but when you're in the province, the time runs differently compared when you're in the city. Summer in the province is warmer than ever, I thought a lot of trees would absorb the heat but it didn't spared me from having sunburn.
