still holding on dreams

2018 gave me the best of everything — a year closer to my childhood dream, MD. Thankful as well for the realizations I’ve learned this year — tough but enduring. Never would it be possible if not for God, my family and the people closest to my heart — my pillars of strength, love and hope! Not leaving any footsteps behind but moving forward to a better year that’s coming, 2019! Thank you for this memorable grad/birthday/christmas gift, Mama & Daddy! Love you so much! Happy New Year, everyone! Still holding on dreams with positivity & faith 🎆

Here’s to all the silent battles — no one ever knew, we bravely fought.

Keep that strong heart you have there.

Mama Told Me;

It’s therapeutic.

It was that time when my life was so “pre-duty-from-weekends off” routine or back to those times when I was still in school “stu-dying” during the week then having my weekends off at home. I did not realize so early how true to life my Mom’s words were back then. Seeing me at the end of the week at home or random checking at dorm during school or hospital days, she used to tell me back then, how doing household chores became her form of therapy — yes, it is actually therapeutic. How & why, right?

But it helped me a lot growing up, even my younger self did not like it doing at first. But mothers know best. And she’s always right! I actually found it so therapeutic. When I’m stressed or my head is filled with so much thoughts, I just find myself cleaning, sorting and.. cleaning everything. And yes, it works! It clears up my mind, relaxes my mood and instantly lifts up my spirit. Before I even know it, everything’s so nice and clean, I’m more relaxed and stress-free.

Win-win situation, isn’t? Might work for you, too!

greatful mornings like this

Waking up after 9-14 hours of sleep, not minding any alarm clock with a breakfast prepared by Mama. How I love waking up to mornings like this. Thank you dear Lord for this fresh morning to see the beauty of life. How wonderful it is to be alive! Good morning everyone! May you see the goodness and grace in everything that you do. Now, who’s up for coffee? :)

Life had a way of turning tables, twisted fate came

I took a strong leap of faith today, for the better.

Never knew I could have the courage to do that.

Proud of you, brave soul. You nailed it!

Speak out to inspire

Utter words of goodness

Release off positive vibes

What you say, you become.

They, who do not matter.

You, who actually do.

If people want to see you as a good person, they will see you as one. If they want to see you as a bad person, nothing you do will stop them from doing so. So, stop worrying about what people think of you. Stop trying to please them. Stop giving them the power to steal your peace of mind. Keep your eyes ahead and stop letting other's opinions about you, drag you back. You can’t change people's views of you and, that's perfectly fine. After all, who you are is defined by your intentions, not by how people think you are.
