&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- more --&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;It&amp;#8217;s march already and I promised myself to start studying for my removals this month. I am not quite sure how many removals i&amp;#8217;m taking but i guess it&amp;#8217;s down to three: cell, musculo skeletal and head&amp;amp;neck. This reviewing for those exams also means one thing: I have to start deciding and discerning if I should go back to med school. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last night I had a talk again with daddy and I almost cried when we were talking. What hit me the most is when he said i should be open to new possibilities. He feels that I have a closed mind because i dont want to try consider going to another school.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Daddy thinks that what&amp;#8217;s best for me is to transfer schools because he feels that i could have had trauma in that former school I was in. I don&amp;#8217;t know how to feel about this but all I know is that whenever I&amp;#8217;m there, I still think about what happened before. The emotions are still there and I guess that is the trauma daddy is talking about. With that, transferring schools is becoming an option for me already but, i still feel iffy about it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#8217;t know, all these decisions about med school is tiring. Everday it&amp;#8217;s all i think about and now that it&amp;#8217;s march, I have to stop thinking and just decide whether or not i will push thru.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I miss school but not this kind of school i think is fit for me. God please take my hand and show me the way cause i really dont know which road to take anymore. The path of doctorhood is something I have dreamed of as a child but if You&amp;#8217;ve planned something else, then I will be willing to take it. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There&amp;#8217;s always light in public health, and i don&amp;#8217;t know if i have seen the same light with being a doctor. I used to get excited about growing up, being a pediatrician and putting up my own clinic with stuff toys in it, but right now it all seems to be just a childhood dream for me. Reality tells me that there is something more than just being some doctor. (Okay it&amp;#8217;s not just &lt;em&gt;some&lt;/em&gt; doctor because I really look up to doctors no matter what kind of medical doctor you are. You have gone through med school, you&amp;#8217;re saving lives and that&amp;#8217;s something) I feel that there&amp;#8217;s something more for me in this world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On a second thought though, sometimes I think I am just avoiding the thought of doctorhood just because I know how hard it will be and I dont want the thought of that. Just thinking about med school is something I am not delighted about.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hay, all these thoughts and feelings are confusing me. Oh what happens when you&amp;#8217;re in your 20s. Daming pwedeng gawin, daming options pero di mo alam kung anong path kukunin mo. Road less taken sabi ni Robert Frost pero sasaya ba ako dun?&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://monicastro.tumblr.com/post/44258449031</link><guid>http://monicastro.tumblr.com/post/44258449031</guid><pubDate>Fri, 01 Mar 2013 09:18:00 +0800</pubDate><category>personal</category></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/96fdf9b2c50cae736cf843f859d47408/tumblr_mix6fmLaSl1qzessvo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://monicastro.tumblr.com/post/44206826748</link><guid>http://monicastro.tumblr.com/post/44206826748</guid><pubDate>Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:35:46 +0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Last weekend at the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta in Clark, Pampanga.

Smile, even when you’re trying not to cry and the tears are blurring your vision. &lt;br/&gt;
Sing, even when people stare at you and tell you your voice is crappy. &lt;br/&gt;
Trust, even when your heart begs you not to. &lt;br/&gt;
Twirl, even when your mind makes no sense of what you see. &lt;br/&gt;
Frolick, even when you are made fun of. Kiss, even when others are watching. Sleep, even when you’re afraid of what the dreams might bring. &lt;br/&gt;
Run, even when it feels like you can’t run any more.&lt;br/&gt;
And, always, remember, even when the memories pinch your heart. Because the pain of all your experience is what makes you the person you are now. And without your experience—-you are an empty page, a blank notebook, a missing lyric. What makes you brave is your willingness to live through your terrible life and hold your head up high the next day. So don’t live life in fear. Because you are stronger now, after all the crap has happened, than you ever were back before it started.””&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;― Alysha Speer (via &lt;a href="http://justbesplendid.tumblr.com/" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank"&gt;justbesplendid&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://monicastro.tumblr.com/post/36187005420</link><guid>http://monicastro.tumblr.com/post/36187005420</guid><pubDate>Wed, 21 Nov 2012 11:42:39 +0800</pubDate></item><item><title>
