one question i wasnt prepared to answer

in one of our lunch break...(me and my studym8s) talked about the questions that we were asked back when we were applying at st lukes for med skul and as to who was our interviewer.

i remembered then, the person who interviewed me was the head of the registrar. she had three questions for me. first one was the most common question...on why i choose to be in medskul. the second one was to explanation a quotation from her bowl of quotatations hehehe

and the third one was situational. i wasnt expecting it.

here was the situation "what if i had bf since first year and then third year comes, this bf of mine left me". i was a little confused. silent for a moment. thinking is this a trick question.

and then i answered "ok lang" " i guess thats how it is. everybody gets hurt, who doesnt right" she was a little surprised with my answer and said somethings that i dont exactly remember.

i think i was the only person asked about relationships...i didnt realized it was so important until i saw people coming from bad break up of 6 or 7 yeras.

some were suicidal, some where a little bit transformed into a negative being you barely knew,some got a little bigger horizontally bigger, some were depressed for a while.

but hei...these girls are still here surviving medical school. still finishing internship or clerkship and passing the board exams.

break up probably have delayed them from finishing things on time. but hey nobody is in a hurry...the important thing is they reached their goals and were able to realized their dreams.

i still dont understand why the registrar ask me that particular question...but if she would ask that today, my answer would be the same.

in reality however, its different. i would probably be hurt so bad. cry my ass out. but hei, that doesnt mean m weak. a bit emotional but still rational.

this one person cannot stop me from getting what i want. you may get me out of focus at times, paralyzed for a few days. but hei i survived my previous years without you, will i not survive this one?

the presence of this one person should be a source of hope, support, love, the butterflies in the stomach, and everything beautiful. he would momentarily be a times source of frustrations on the small stuff

but when things doesnt seem to be working as it was supposed to. there is no point in pursuing things. well easier said than done.

i said my piece. i was the one hurt but yet i was the one making peace. i tried. i guess i am tired, i need a break from all this stuff. i need peace.
