“It’s the oldest story in the world. One day you’re seventeen and planning for someday. And then quietly and without you ever really noticing, someday is today.”-Nathan Scott, One Tree HillI was browsing facebook when I read this random quote with a graduation picture in white coat.Finally, I was triggered to write again.Sometimes we are so caught up by life that we barely notice that yes, someday is today.
At 17, I was this naive probinsyana girl who is beaming with dreams of becoming a doctor and taking Medical Laboratory Science as her premed.Secretly,Kuya/Doc Oliver is one of the persons who I looked up to (yes,up until today!)He's my schoolmate in highschool who took Medtech as well.And he topped the board exam.Little did you know that I daydream of topping the boards like him.haha! And made a crazy deal with my parents that if I top,I will take medicine,whether they like it or not. I DID NOT TOP. I am NOT a Doctor today. But,Im in this point of my life that I appreciate everything and never regret anything.
Sabi nga ng wooden quote sa Blood Bank " Life is how you handle Plan B."
I worked as a Medtech for 7 years now.After working in UAE, here I am on the other side of the world,another continent to conquer..thank God I made it here in America!American dream as they say.But more than fulfilling a childhood dream,its more of making my mommy and tatay in heaven proud (who worked hard in the States just to send me to one of the best universities).My mama and papa once told me in one of those vcalls "Akalain mong natupad mo din ang pangarap mong magmedtek sa Amerika."
Little did I know,parehas lang din naman.Routine,toxic at challenging Plus may tax lang sa lahat!haha
Hindi man ako nakaputing coat at may naksabit na stethoscope as what I have pictured myself when I was seventeen,I can say,Im happy where I am at this point of life.
Naisip ko din,na life isnt all about your career.Its just a slice of it.Its really a happy thought knowing that the man I date when Im seventeen is the same man Im starting a family with,here in abroad.And we're slaying the married life!This time around..we are excited with the thoughts of : having a family on our own, travel all the states and conquer Europe with our children,save for our own business and resthouse in Baguio..and watch our children grow.Hay ,ansarap mangarap!Why not,pwede namang tuparin? :D oh,happy thoughts!
Sometimes,we need to stop from our routine to notice that God answers our prayers.
It's true that someday is today but I put my trust on Him as I plan today for someday.
