the crybaby cries. again. 9:23 AM

a lot of people have asked me why i took nursing.

months ago i would've easily said,

"because my mom wanted me to".

and just recently, i've realized this was the correct answer,

"because i want to be a pediatrician".

now, the question has changed into,

"why do you want to be a pediatrician?"

the answer is quite simple, really. and i've got two. (hehe) first, not all people know that i have a supposedly older sister. unfortunately, she died because her small and large intestine were underdeveloped and were not connected. i want to be a pediatrician because i dont want any other baby to experience what my ate experienced and i dont want any more parent to experience the pain my parents experienced when she died. second, i want to be a pediatrician because i love kids. i just want to be around kids, you know. and that love for kids took another level because val once bought this encyclopedia about pediatrics and it just fascinated me.

hope this answered your question. you know who you are.

~O~

another question has popped up.

"if you aren't in nursing, where would you be?"

if i weren't nursing, i'd say i'd be in psychology. or journalism. honestly, i took nursing because, aside from the influence of my mom, i considered the pros and cons. and psychology or journalism wouldn't amount to the pros that nursing would give me. call me money-driven but hey, in the world today, you can't really survive without money. that's why i chose nursing.

i remember my dad giving me the chance of changing the course i would take in college. he said i could take anything i liked. i was so tempted to say that i'd like to take journalism instead. but considering the abovementioned pros and cons, i said, i'll settle for nursing. then i asked him if he was to dictate what i would take, what would he have me take. he told me he had always imagined me taking law or engineering. well, i said, i'd definitely settle for nursing. then, we laughed about it. he told me it was my choice and he'll support me whatever i took.

hmmm. with all those, i've come to realize that maybe nursing is meant for me. but if by some unfortunate circumstance i'd not be able to reach the cutoff, i'd still take it in some other school because i've come to love it and maybe, just maybe, i like living on the medical field.

to pao (coz i can't place a comment in your blog): you've told me once in our talks that your heart is not in nursing. i know it's been very hard for you dealing with something instead of the one you love. and now that your dad has given you the chance to change the situation, think on what you really want to take. like i said, go for what you really want because that would make living life more worthwhile. you're one of my dearest friends and i'd hate to see you not able to do what you really want. whatever you decide on, dito lang ako, okie? full support. all the way.

and thank you so much for that inspiring comment you placed. thank you. :)

~O~

today, i read starstudio magazine. liz revillame's story was just inspiring. anyway, when i turned to the horoscope page, it said that there's an email or an e-card that would make my heart skip a beat. now, i just realized that it was pao's comment. hehe. thanks again pao. :)
