Doc Mimay Notes

While having my break, i decided to sit at one of the benches of the park near the hospital (where i am working) with my soda crackers trying to catch a breath of fresh air. There i saw an old man with an old woman. From my view, i can see that he is patiently taking care of her, giving her food, asking what she needs and all. I decided to come closer, sit at the bench where i can observe them closely. the sight of long and lasting love makes me wonder if true love that can endure the challenges of time really exists. Coming close, hearing better, I realise that love knows no boundaries, and it is not something that can be tested through distance and time but rather a love that can last a lifetime.

Life is indeed full of surprises. A year ago, i never imagined i will be sitting on this chair, in this place, writing this down. Never did i realized that at age 28, i will have the chance to actually tick almost about three fourths off my bucket list which a decade ago were all impossibilities. (I just listed them because i am thinking of a lifetime to work for it).

At the young age of 16, due to many questions, controversies and issues left unanswered even by his own church leaders, he left his religion and started the venture of searching his soul and savior. It might have been really a nature of humanity to seek for a God whom he can worship, in Jeff’s case, he did for many years.

i was sorting some old stuff in my room, when i came across a folded 2 piece yellowish old bond paper, a photocopy of an article from signs of the times way back 2001. it was the same article na na-touched ako years ago, kayo pinaphotocopy ko. i knew there was something important with this that i kept it for a very long time... i read it again... and i cried.. and it seems like i am reading it for the first time again.

while browsing thru Facebook.. i stumbled upon this article, shared by 2 of my Facebook friends from theprayingwoman.com i clicked the link and started reading... next thing i know am already crying....

the moment i shaded my last vote, i said to my self, "Lord, your will be done". Politics always intrigues me. Always. I dunno why i took medicine instead of political science but every political issue, i always feel the need to be informed, to be educated, to be involved. As ordinary citizen, i know i should take part. I should learn more. In the past national and local elections i've been clearly taking my active part in voicing my opinion in writing and in social media. I was in highschool when the impeachment of President Erap was a hot issue. I was an editorial writer back then. The need to be involved in every political issue was there right from the very begining. But this 2016 elections was different. I rarely stated my opinion on social media, posted few about elections on my account, only discussed my opinion to a friend once and never again. I have doubts with all the presidential candidates, i secretly wished for Senator Escudero to run for presidency but t...

when i was a kid, i saw my mom as a school principal with many rules.. don't do this, don't do that, fix your bed, clean this up, blah blah blah. but growing up, i realized, she just love us enough to make an orderly, peaceful, safe home.  every morning she will wake up early and will prepare breakfast for us, pero dahil ang bagal namin kumilos, hindi na namin nakakain ang mga hinahanda nya. minsan gumagawa pa sya ng pizza para ganahan kami kumain, pero ganun pa din naiiwan namin ng walang bawas. but even though we were doing it every morning, she will still prepare for breakfast for the next morning, and the next and the next. looking back-- i saw how painful it is.
