amazingGOD

On this day of your life, Karissa, we believe God wants you to know ... that you can fool others, sometimes even yourself, but God always knows your truth.

Uncomfortable, painful, even scary at times, truth is always better than lies. Remember, God always knows.

God,you are so amazing!

today..

“We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.”

 Today,all my questions were answered.And yes, I am happy.Naiiyak ako.Gusto ko siyang yakapin nung sinabi niyang"thank you for loving me this much".Unconciously,my tears just rolled down on my cheeks.This is the first time Ive been hurt with truths and not with lies.Most of the times,you love someone so much that not even the truth can change your mind.Forgive me for being vulnerable here.  :) Looking forward for a happier,stronger and more honest relationship ahead of us. And I thank God for everything!

  There comes a time when you have to choose between turning the page or just closing the book.Today..I choose to close it gently.But will take all the lessons i learned from it. :)

O btw..Love converts me really into someone who is mature with harsh realities.Thus the saying goes,  "Cinderella walked on broken glass, Belle loved a beast, Snow White barely escaped a knife, because love means facing your biggest fears."

hug please!

Dear Lord,

Lord,pahug nga muna.Im confused.You know my uncertainties before i ask for your answers.I  hurt someone in the past.I hold anguish for so long.But you made me realized  to let go of  that heavy baggage.Please open my mind and whisper to my ears the right things to do.Sana paggising ko bukas Lord,magaan na po sa pakiramdam.Despite po sa mga questions running on my mind tonight,thank you po sa lahat ng blessings you poured out sa buhay ko. Sa family ko,tunay na kaibigan,tiring yet fulfilling job and kay mark.please remain as the center of our relationship.

Thank you lord for reminding me that Im less than perfect , i do  make mistakes and is never too late to make them right..thank you po for giving me reasons to be happy.

:)

Sana bukas ok na ang lahat.Goodnight Lord.I love you.Hug please!

well-said

Learn to make the most of life: Lose no happy day - time can never bring back what was swept away; Leave no tender word unsaid; stay happy while life lasts; Live your life the way you drink your coffee - sipping it slowly, enjoying the flavor and the aroma, drinking it to the last drop. Take life easy and be happy.

:)
And lastly..
Do not let negative and toxic people rent space in your head. Raise the rent and kick them out.

:))

rule 104

The phrase speaks for itself.Let it go.Stay happy

Me-time

fresh from night duty

It's saturday and at the same time my off,oh my me-time at last after a week-long stressful duty.We (with my night duty group) started the day with fit-for-king  R&J bulalo.The bad side? I had to eat rice.After almost a month depriving myself ,i had a half this morning. Ok,considered as cheat day today! :)

After 4 hours of sleep, I decided to meet ate betty for the hello kidney shirt.But due to conflicts of time,we move the meet-up tomorrow after my sunday duty.

Since back to school  na naman, as a big sister to my only bro,I  set-off to megamall. Thanks to our mid-year bonus.This time masasagot ko ang tuition nya and his school supplies.This is the best feeling in the world..yung alam mo na pinagpaguran mo ang ibibigay mo for your family.Fulfilling! :) ( grown-up speaking here)

I was supposed to grabbed a two-piece bikini(yes,you read it right! haha:)) for our too-soon Coron getaway..And yet..I ended up having a BOOK in hand.My bookworm personality can't get over after being hooked by a good book. Paulo Coelho's Aleph  caught my attention as i read the last catchy lines.."Are we where we want to be,doing what we want to do?"I think i grabbed one good read from this best-selling author. :)

Just like a kid that gets too excited for a new toy,.on my way home inside the taxi,there i go..reading in awe! I can't wait for another rejuvenating  OFF :)

*while writing this..my mahal keeps bugging me.Ok,its chat-time.
:))

Blog-niversary!

Its been a year  since I share a slice of my soul with my wander&wonder.There are times i stare on a blank page as the cursor blinks,blinks,and just blink but love the times when the thoughts on my mind seem to be having a marathon.Thanks to the wonders of life which keeps me committed with my first love:WRITING.
And of course im grateful for all the readers..you keep me going guys! :)

Since it's my one year ,its fair to give credits to Bettyimages and feebuzz for taking me here.There's always good in something bad.Thank you for inspiring me.Keep writing!

READ as much as you can..then WRITE as much as you want.Happy blog-niversary wander&wonder!
:)  bliss for the coming years...

MD

Karissa Joy D.Estal,MD.

In white coat

 a stethoscope in hand

A soft-spoken doctor equipped

with uh-mazing  medical skills.

This is the big picture I made 6 years ago.A re-enkindled dream .I was surrounded lately with medical interns..who turned the flame into a big fire.Kuya Oliver,Danya and JJ ( medtech friends) remind me badly with my pilit-kong-kinakalimutan-maging. Which Im sure will become well-versed doctors in time.Every time i had an encounter with a good doctor and witty inspiring people, here comes my MD dream knocking on my door.

If  there's a word synonymous to what PASSION is for me, MEDICINE is the word.But you know,you just can't have it all at once.Honestly,im still looking forward to the day when i can talk about how tough medschool is,the challenge and the sleepless nights at the study table.(yes,i really(nth power) miss the days i forget to sleep just to study) NERD ALERT!!

If only...

Money is not equal to Medschool.

I will become a good doctor.

:)

seriously,cause i want it sooo bad!

still..still..not letting go..of my MD dream.

i love you girls!

I'm such a spoiled brat.Yes I need to admit it because of these two ladies in pink.My mama who is my certified partner in crime who knows the answer before i ask.And my older version who gives me almost everything and is the reason why I do got a degree.But without these two smart and pretty women im with,wala ako sa kinaroroonan ko ngayon.I am always grateful for havin been blessed with  moms who were my confidence-booster. This Mother's day, I just want to let them know how much i love them..I feel fulfilled everytime I am the reason of sweet smiles on their faces.Their presence pushed me to my limits because I know deep in their hearts they cheer me up to get the things i badly want in this lifetime.I  Love you Mama Bing and Mommy Aida!

Here's a sweet treat for my two sweeties. I hope you liked it.Buti na lang lumuwas si shamae :))

Happy mothers's day.I love you both so much!!

58th

A lot has happened in the story of you and me.Hundreds of dinner dates and movie treats,miles of walks,countless motor rides, boxes of pizza and gallons of ice cream,piles of victory liner  tickets,thousands of chat messages,a couple of love letters(i still have some of them),tons of pictures together,bunch of silly chitchats,birthday after holiday after anniversary and many many sleepy and laid back days together..and of course lots of nonsense fights..So many details  in the story of us that we may never be able to capture.And basically, I wish I could write a book with a special chapter on each of these moments why my life is warmer, brighter, better and thousand times more fun because of you.

Happy 58th month of crazy-fun-filled love story Mark ! I love you..We are one day closer to the day we are waiting for.Sabi mo nga,magkasama man o hindi,wala eh..mahal parin kita.(this is cheesy that's why i can't forget) I can't wait for the tight hugs,warm kisses and the sweet treats! :)I miss you.I really can't wait mahal :)I love you.

chat-time.Distance is just a number baby!

:)

Dear Rice,

It's been 1 month since i decided to break up with you.I think we'll be better this way. But still, I miss you everytime I cook my favorites : fried fish,adobo,dinuguan and pork sinigang.But don't worry, veggies and fruits take good care of me.They were absolutely good for my heart.Thank you for letting me resist you.You know how much i loved you.Keep smiling on me and give me those warm winks as I steal a soft glance on you.I miss you so much :(

Lovelots,

Bolpen-natcher

Tourniquet and Ballpen. These two makes you a medtech-pro.If you don't have one of these ,your day would be totally incomplete.I just hate the feeling when I lost my 2-day old stabilo red ballpen.I love the design that makes me a little proud having one.(yep,mababaw lang ang kaligayahan ko!).Ballpens were incredibly essential for us. Beware,Ballpen-natchers just around the corner when you misplaced yours.(im one of them,too)Admittedly,makakalimutin akong tao.That's why in just a snap of a finger,wala na naman akong ballpen and ended up borrowing someone else's pen for signing results..Ballpen seems to be a million-dollar identity at the lab. So you better take good care of your pens.

My ballpens come and go.Everytime i dropped by the bookstore I make sure I grabbed a pen..but then again for sure,mawawala ko lang.And I lost my favorite red pen today. :(

ang gaan!

Ive been hooked up by this nestea tvc,singing it repeatedly for the past weeks.I ended up searching it ang decided to post it here.The band Coffee Break Island's cool voice make it an extra point.Ang sarap pakinggan,ang gaan! :)
