2017♥

2017 passed by so swiftly. A lot has happened during the year, good and bad. And now, it's already June 2018. Kalahating taon na? Wow! Time does fly. Anyway... Let me just walk you through how my 2017 was 😉 Well it hasn't really been my year. Twelve months that were full of challenges that happened over and over again. Challenges that made me question if I'm still taking the right path. 

You may just see me smiling and laughing even if I'm already worrying about my grades. I really am having a hard time in Med School. That's the truth. Even though things in school hasn't been that great, I made sure I didn't stop. Even if there were a lot of crying nights and even mornings, I did not stop. Here I am still trying to make it through Med School. Konti na lang, matatapos na din ako. So why quit now right? As I always say to myself; laban lang 💪🏼 And it's okay to cry, just to release all the stress you've been experiencing but be sure that at the end of the day you wipe all those tears, smile and continue with life. Sabi nga nila, ang problema dinadaanan lang yan, hindi tinatambayan. 🤗 I just heard that from a vlog of Bianca Gonzales. So I guess that sums up how my year in school was. It was not a smooth sailing ride but definitely a one full of lessons. 👌🏼 


I'm glad that I still got the chance to bond with my friends in med school❤️

Our favorite thing to do: eat!!

On the lighter side of things, I still got the chance to enjoy life outside Med School. I still got to go out with friends and family. I even had out of town trips with friends. That's a first. 😂 It was also last year that I had an out of the country trip with my nieces and sister which I just blogged a few months ago. Click here if you wanna read about it😉 

Random tambay with HS friends :)

Also met new friends last year.

SG Trip with the girls.

Definitely had a great trip with them 😊

*Forgive me for the cheesy post ahead😂🙈 

If you remember my blog entry last year about how my 2016 was, I mentioned about someone who has been special to me. Last 2017, I already decided to say yes to be his girlfriend. That's another first. 😂 I had my first boyfriend that year and hopefully he's my last😊 He was one of the reasons how I managed to go on with my life. He was always there to encourage me. During the times that I didn't believe in myself, he was the one who did. During all the exams and reports I had to do, he was there to push me to do my best. When I needed to focus in studying, he makes sure that he doesn't disturb me. He never became a distraction but rather an inspiration. When I had to be an all-nighter he made sure I didn't fall asleep. He's my human alarm clock 😂 He made Med School bearable along with my family and friends. ❤️ That's why I always thank the Lord and St. Jude for answering my prayer through you. 😊 



Although there are moments that we wish did not happen, there are still those moments that we were glad it did. Come to think of it, it was just a balanced life. As my favorite saying goes: "Everything happens for a reason." I still believe in that. 

This 2018 I promise myself that I would be a better version of myself. Yeah, as cliché as it may sound, but I don't really tell that to myself every year. I promise to not overthink anymore and to just let things be. I won't really plan things detail by detail but I'll still keep track of things in my planner. I want 2018 to be a more spontaneous one in terms of traveling and other things. I won't dwell much on what other people think of me, of what they are saying about me because let's face it, not everyone will like me. And that's okay. As long as I'm not stepping on anybody and I'm not doing anything wrong. 😊 This year will be full of positivity and good vibes. Less drama and procrastination. Hopefully, I can be able to do all of these. Claiming that this year will be a great one!  Five months done and so far, so good 👌🏼😊 Can't wait to see how the rest of my 2018 will unfold. 🙂 

Forgive me if my 2017 blog post is six months late 😂 I was planning to blog once the results of last sem was out but then classes already started so I wasn't able to do it and now that the sem is over, I'm finally able to blog again. Yay! 😬 Another thing I wanted to do ever since is to be able to blog a lot. I'm hoping that I could do it this year. Well, yes I'll do it this year!! Hopefully I can still do it now that clerkship is about to begin. Uy, clerk na ko!! Hahaha. Still can't believe it. Will blog about my journey to clerkship once I can. And of course I'll blog about my clerkship itself. So excited and nervous!! 😁😁😁

To more blog entries! To more spontaneous trips! To more food trips! To more studying!😢😂 To living my life to the fullest!!❤️ To a great 2018!! 

Let's try to maximize every day that we have. Let's not waste our time. If we wanted to do something, let's do it. Let's not wait for tomorrow or another day. Let's treasure every second, every minute, every hour of our life❤️  Today only comes once. Our today will never be our tomorrow. Do what you have to do now. 😊

2016♥

I can't believe it's 2017 already! 2016 went by so fast. It was a year full of ups and downs and I learned a lot from it. It was a year that I got to finish my second year in med school. It was also in the same year that I started with my third year. Hirap makarating sa third year bes. But I'm glad I made it. :) 

Hi med friends :)

Just one of our gala/foodtrips. So happy that we still get the chance to do this every once in a while. :)

Last 2016, I had a lot of bonding moments with family and friends and I loved it! We got to travel, have random dinner/lunch or just a simple "tambay". I love spending time with them. But I guess this year, I would have to lessen it to give more time to my studies. Bawi na lang sa summer break :)

Random Gala with friends :)

I'm really thankful for my family and friends. Will forever cherish these kinds of moments. ♥♥♥ Really thankful for people like them. And...there's actually another person I'm thankful for. I met him last July 2015 and since then we've been talking to each other everyday. So...things turned out pretty well which actually led to him being special to me and vice versa. I'm thankful that he never left my side especially during the times that I needed him most. I'm thankful for having someone like him in my life right now. And for the record, we aren't officially together but that doesn't really matter right now. Basta, alam na namin yun. Hahaha. So, if you happen to read this...I just wanna say thank you for everything ♥

If you remember, my last blog entry was 5 months ago and it was the start of my third year in med school. Now, I'm on my second semester and can I just say that things didn't turn out the way I wanted it? Yeah, let's just leave it that way. The only important thing is that I won't stop. I'll still continue pursuing my dream. Even how long it takes. I've come this far so I won't stop now. I won't let all my efforts go to waste. Yes, laban lang tayo bes. Haha. I've been wanting to blog about this since last Monday. Finally did it. :)

To more random blog entries, to more kabaliwan moments, to more happy thoughts, to a better outlook in life, to a more positive me. Cheers to a great year ahead! Leggo 2017!! Laban lang bes. ♥♥♥

Who would have thought?

        

        Have you ever reached a point in your life wherein you just feel sad for no particular reason at all? Wherein so many questions would just pop out of nowhere? Questions that you, yourself cannot answer? Personally, I had many of those. Even if nothing bad happened, you just suddenly stop and stare and start thinking. Endless thinking. So many what ifs and not even one answer. 

        I guess that's part of life. We need to have those kinds of days to actually be able to reflect on what's happening with us and around us. 'Coz most of the time we don't really see what's around us if we don't stop. Being sad at one point can actually help us notice the other side of things. Of course, we'll notice first the bad side but at the end of the thinking process we had, we'll realize that a lot of good things surround us. We just don't take time to appreciate them. Feeling sad which leads into deep thinking could be one of God's ways to show us what else He has prepared for us.

        These times could help us in knowing ourselves better. With that one feeling, you start asking questions and those questions will make you think. About yourself and about your whole life. Which is actually good. Who would have thought that being sad could actually be beneficial? Who would have thought that sadness could suddenly turn into happiness? :)

What happened for the past year?

        And yes, I'm back! It's been more than a year since I last blogged. Was planning on doing this since I don't know when. Hahaha! But then, laziness always wins. Plus the load of things I need to do. So for that one year that I wasn't able to blog, a lot has happened. Really. A LOT.

         Last school year, I started with med school. I went to San Beda College in Mendiola and I was so excited back then 'coz finally I'll be able to start fulfilling my dreams. During the first months, I was really eager with everything that I was doing. I was really attentive during lectures and can you believe that I didn't fall asleep during 4-hour lectures? Yes, I was able to do that. But during the first semester only hehe. Sorry naman. So, as I was telling you, a lot has happened during the past year. I can't imagine how all of the things that happened fit into that one school year which was only 10 months. It was really a roller coaster ride for me. Full of ups and downs. I can't even describe to you how hard med school is. If back in college you can cram for exams, you definitely can't do that in med school. One reading wouldn't be enough. Trust me. But even if I wanted to do several readings, I really can't. Time wasn't really on our side, you know. I thought that I could really do well in med school, that I could even top subjects but I guess that would only be a thought now. I don't know why. But even how hard I try to, I really can't get the grades I wanted. There were so many times last year that I already doubted myself. Well, until now. There were times that I wanted to quit. 'Coz I was thinking that it wasn't meant for me. But then, my family and friends would tell me to stay strong and to always believe in myself. If I badly wanted to become a doctor, I can and I will. So that's what I did. I became more eager in continuing what I'm doing. Trying to be the doctor I always wanted to be.

         Med school was a lot easier because of the friends I gained during my stay in Beda. I was really glad to have found such friends who understood me so well. They understand every bit of me. 'Coz they also feel the same way. With school and with life. Well, I'm just more dramatic lol. I'm just so happy that I have friends who are there for me when I feel so down after an exam or when I feel so tired after a long day of lectures and labs. After class, we would always end up eating. Me and my friends definitely love to eat. That's why I gained weight. Yes, I did. For some people, they didn't notice it but for my family..they did! I really did gain a lot of weight from med school. I used to weigh less than 100lbs. But now, I don't go down 110 lbs. Wow diba? Well, that was actually okay for me. That's what I wanted for a long time haha. So, no regrets. I just want my body to be toned. Kainis, gumaganun pa hahaha. But I'm serious about that. One step at a time Bianca. :p

         What else would I tell you about the past year? Besides the hardships I had to go through? lol. Oh, yeah. I joined the official dance group in our college. It's called Medicosalto. I've been wanting to join a dance group since I was in DLSU but I didn't have the courage to audition. I don't know what got into me that I joined Medicosalto. But anyway, I was really glad that I did. 'Coz finally I was able to do one thing I've been wanting to do ever since. I also thought that by joining, it could help in making med school a lot fun. Well, it did. Sort of. If we're not doing hardcore exercises. But thanks to those exercises we do that I was able to bring back the flexible me. Hehe. Also acquired a few skills. Was able to do cartwheels, left split, right split and more. :O Yay! Before, I only knew how to do a center split and other simple skills. Because of Medicosalto, I was able to join an interschool competition. Was able to compete with other med schools. I was also able to perform in front of a big audience in Aliw Theatre. That's something eh? Definitely a one of a kind experience. Something worth keeping. But I guess that will be my first and last one. It was kinda hard for me to balance acads and dancing. Even if I wanted to continue doing both, I had to prioritize plus I'm not in Beda anymore. Yes, I transferred to another school due to personal and other reasons haha! Let's leave it that way. Okay? :))

         So, what else? It was also last year when I had feelings for a certain guy. Imagine that. Hahaha. Can't really imagine it now. I was so happy then. Well, he made me happy but just for a short span of time. 'Coz after a few months, he did hurt me. So much. Nakakainis diba. I really thought he was different. Everything he showed me was just a facade. I can go on and on telling you negative things about him, but I won't do that. Just wanna share that at some point last year, he became part of my life.

         I think that can somehow summarize what happened for the past year. Will just blog about my out of town trips differently. Specifically my El Nido and Boracay trips. Plus the out of country trip I had last summer. If I don't become lazy. :)

         Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I cut my hair short, really short and dyed it :) For a change hihi.

         Until my next. Thanks for reading!

Oh, March...

This has got to be the most boring month of my 2013. Well, we only had three months as of now=)) But still, it was kinda boring. If I could just forget my March :'( Well, not all of it. I still had good days though. Let me just share it to you guys :)

March went by so fast.

One of the good days I had was when I was watching volleyball games. Oh, happy days. Where have you been? Anyway, the final games were in March :) I wasn't able to watch the first game live but luckily I was able to watch the second one which was actually the last one as well. The Lady Spikers finished the series in two games =)) Yes, proud to be a Lasallian. 3PEAT!!!

Animo La Salle!!!

My Thursdays were still the same. I wake up at 5:30 in the morning to prepare for the 8am mass and novena at St. Jude Thaddeus. I still love my Thursday mornings♥

I still get to watch my favorite TV series :) But I'm just sad that all of them are now on break. 90210 and TVD will be back on April 18, I think. And PLL will be on break until June :( No :'( Huhu. Ang babaw ko, sorry. =)

Another good thing about this month, I still get to hangout with my high school friends. Choppie's birthday was in this month and she treated us for a dinner at BGC :) Fun night with friends :)

High school friends♥

Mercato with the family has been one of the good nights I had this month :) FOOD♥♥♥

FOOD was a big part of my happiness this March. =) Without food I would be so sad. :( HAHAHA. OA much. =)))) But really. :)

Gotta love Japanese food♥
Ate this when I had colds =)

This cutie right here just made my March better :) Who can resist this baby right?

I was able to be with my Santugon family this month. Even for just a few hours :)

Love them♥

It was also this month wherein I got to go to St. Pio Parish Church =) I was still able to jog and exercise but not that much. :( I need to have the perfect motivation...

I was able to bake chocolate chip cookies again =) Yay for me! Haha! 

  

 Since my niece requested it for her graduation, I gave it to her as a gift =)

I was also able to make some ice cream :)

Since it's March, graduations are everywhere. I attended the graduation of Kaela, my niece :) Then, we had dinner at Sambokojin. Food again♥♥♥ See? Food has really been a big part of my March =))))

Then, on the last Tuesday of the month, I got the chance to see my college friends again =) Spent almost the whole day with them. Missed hanging out with the team :) 

And lastly...spent my Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and a little of Black Saturday at Fontana in Clark =) I didn't forget to do Visita Iglesia last Thursday. It has been a yearly tradition for us already :)

Okay, I take back what I wrote above. Looks like my March wasn't really that bad. It was actually pretty good. Well, if you just look at the things I wrote above but between those days, I definitely had some rough days. Days wherein I would just feel sad. Problems may arise but that doesn't mean that God's punishing us. It's actually His way of making us a lot stronger. Just like what most people say, "He won't give us problems we can't handle. Every problem has a solution. If there's no solution, then it's not really a problem." I guess problems are really part of our lives. We cannot have a perfect life anyway. I may have a lot of down moments this March but I know that everything will get better. April will be a lot better, right? :) Lesson I learned? Life will not always be the way we want it, there would be times wherein it will go the other way but it will still end at the destination we wanted it to be. =)
