Ever wonder how your life gets by so fast?
Well...i do. Can't believe that this year is almost over. Come on it's already AUGUST!!!!! 2011 went by so dramatically fast! Which is pretty exciting for me. I just want the years that I'll be in the Philippines (4 years 1/2) to go by as fast as possible! It's almost a year I've live in this country!
Well...by this blog I'm writing down is more than being in the Philippines...it's generally about LIFE.
A year ago the life of mine and my friends back in good ole' Nebraska had changed after summer break. Why? Well..here it goes....
Last summer i was so over stress with my decision of my life and career path. [Technically since middle school I always wanted to be a Dentist. Which mean that I was planning to go to La Sierra University in Riverside, CA and continue in Loma Linda University. BUT PUC changed everything and my career path was nursing for then on. Then after a year in PUC I knew that place wasn't my scene and majority people there (when i was there) were FAKE as hell. Back to the topic.] Well things changed that summer 2010. I decided to not go back to UC and decided to go to school back home or somewhere in Nebraska. But my parents decided for me to head the Philippines. I didn't like the choice at all. Come on the Philippines. Uniform. Rules. Transportation. 3rd world country. That was a big NO! but then i realized ....i need to go for money sakes. Tuition here is so cheap. It's like paying less than renting the dorms in UC. Anyways...it made it hard for me to tell my friends. The only people who knew about this was my two partner in crime Ben and Tana. They were the one who knew my problems and tried so hard for me to go back to UC and changed the major i wanted to pursued in life. I was thinking of changing to Psychology but then the future keep coming to my mind on how much salary they earn and how I can find any jobs that would offer for a BS Psychology degree. Stress...Stress... Stress. After deciding on where i want to finish my career I took my parents advice and head to the Philippines and told my friends. They were all shock.
After telling them I kinda worked my magic of letting my parentals well...my mom actually for letting me go to Nebraska for 4 days to visit my friends and say my goodbyes before i head to the other side of the world. She realized how much these people meant to me and she also realized that there were my true friends. She sometimes questions why don't i hang out with my church friends as often as i did back when i was in high school. I guess she was just wondering cause she never had that experience of having friends in college who are your lifetime friends. just like the saying ....YOUR COLLEGE FRIENDS ARE YOUR LIFETIME FRIENDS.
as i went back to nebraska for my 4 day visit i was expecting everyone to be there but ben wasn't he was back in indonesia. which i didn't know until i got to nebraska. i knew that ben took this in a hard way. my mom even told me. he must have been depressed that you're not back in nebraska. since i'm a big impact of his life. But i got to hang out with my besties tana and chit chat with my gals. hung out with luke for just an hour and how he tried to convince me to stay for a few more days since he felt bad for not spending time with me. i should have taken his advice and stayed. he was the other guy who took it hard for me to leave the country.
when i left my country and arrived to the philippines and walked down to meet up with my cousins i was thinking to myself... WHAT IN THE HELL I PUT MYSELF INTO! the weather was nasty...the smell was disgusting....there were so many asian (which i'm not used tooo...since i went to school with bunch of hispanic/black peeps and went to college with bunch of white peeps) it was horrible. i wanted to go back home and go back to uc.
while i head to AUP aka adventist university of the philippines i thought to myself...if i don't pass this entrance test i'm going to head back to uc and take up psychology. but then again....my cousin enrolled me into 5 classes and the next day i was in class with my uniformed on.
as for now i'm still in the philippines...and my MAIN focus is to finish up my nursing and head home for good and start my life.
like what amy and i was talking about 4 weeks ago. in one year...just ONE year there were so many changes. such as these....
- i went studying abroad.
- ben took 1 semester off to head to indo for his dad.
- amanda took spring semester off.
- amy, tana, and amanda moved out of the dorm and live off campus.
- amy got knocked up. :)
- amy got married.
- amy gave birth.
- trish is finally getting married with jesse.
- valentina became more girly.
- ben came back to uc...but still m.i.a
- luke has been m.i.a ever since i left. i guess seeing and hanging out with my friends bring him tooo much memories of me. :'(
- rod head back to uc.
life did changed dramatically for us...but that didn't change the friendship we have for each other.
i guess that's how life goes....
we don't know what's a head of us only God knows what's going to happened the next day, next year, or the next 10 years. :D
he is wonderful!
i'm just happy that God has been so good to me. i would say i got closer to him then i was before. :)
well..there is my little venting....
