Best of Boracay restaurants are here in Manila for a Pop-up month (until August 15, 2018)!!! This classic @cocomamaboracay's Coconut Ice Cream with Mango should is a must grab before it goes away! Two scoops of fresh, sweet coconut milk ice cream with buko meat, sticky rice and sweet mangoes served inside a coconut shell. The summer is out but this fresh dessert is totally in! #SpoonsAroundTheWorld #FilipinoFoodMovement #SavorFilipino . . . . #vsco #flatlay #foodvsco #beach #dessert #foodbeast #Philippines #icecream #eeeeeats #huffposttaste #buzzfeast #f52grams #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines #pepperph #forkspoonmanila #adventure #travel #thefoodiestation #Coconut #spotmyfood #foodpics #foodphotography #foodbassador #Boracay #foodtrailph #starvingfoodseeker #dailyfoodfeed (at Coco Mama)

I am Sorry

Three words that can mend long broken connections. Still, the feels.

FAK. Pretty sums up the past months. SHET. that last two minutes of the video. Hindi ko rin alam papaano ako napunta sa link na ito; but maybe God is saying something.

Lord, Iโ€™m just tired with everything - physically, emotionally, and everything around it. Tired with keeping up and tired of letting down.ย 

----------------

I was surprised when someone approached me last week to tell me how he bursted into tears with no reason; how he was just tired of the the semester. But hey, Hindi ka nag-iisa. I have moments like that too, my dear friend.

After all of these, I hope itโ€™s still worth it. To fight and fight with uncertainties everywhere.ย 

But for you, Pat Teng, Iโ€™ll fight harder. Hindi pa rito natatapos ang laban for this semester. Itโ€™s just the beginning. #walangi19

Iโ€™ll be staying here for a while in my comfort zone. #AngLabo pero All out feels muna before the finals week. PUTA, LABAN SELF! Boost up your EQ before clerkship! less than a month left and hindi pwede ganito sa clinics. ย 

After all this numbness, I hope I can still feel again... for my patients.ย

Hello againย โ€œFeels Worldโ€

This post is gonna be long. TLDR: Do not read it anymore. Itโ€™ll just make you feel sad; which is not the primary goal of this post. BUT.... to release the repressed feelings. So here goes nothing.

I wish more requirements would come that will make me busy from thinking. During these times when there are much less to do, the suppressed feelings overflow. ย It has been more or less two years since my questions started. It started with aย โ€œWHY. HOW. WHAT. WHEN.โ€ Af first, I didnโ€™t believe the rumors. I trusted my instincts that those were not true. But eventually, now that I am in that situation, I guess there was some truth to it. Actually, there is TRUTH to it.

Iโ€™ll be leaving. Iโ€™ll be leaving to save myself from my own thoughts of negativity. I guess I have to save some for my own sanity or Iโ€™ll be dead by now because of over thinking.

I donโ€™t know why itโ€™s hard to keep things from this highly stressful environment. In one glimpse, I belonged. Two years later, Iโ€™m out. Yup, when everyone thinks everythingโ€™s fine, nope. Itโ€™s not.

i am tired to keep up with the trend which i decided myself that โ€œHeeyyy! Cheer up! May be itโ€™s time to just go with the flow. Not necessarily give up. Just go with the flow.โ€ I was in it yesterday, but now, Iโ€™m lost from the circle I was part of. No one cares if I canโ€™t keep up. I even need to pull myself up to the expectations. But, in truth, Iโ€™m sorry, I canโ€™t keep up with the standards.

It was hard for me to accept this situation at first. Time was invested, but I guess the investment wasnโ€™t enough. There are more investment needed. But my limit to invest has already been reached. Iโ€™m sorry but I canโ€™t keep up.

Iโ€™m sorry if I not that kind of person. Iโ€™m the type who is different. Different from the usuals, different from everyone. Itโ€™s just disappointing that I was once in that circle, but now, I feel Iโ€™m an outcast.

What happened?

โ€œItโ€™s a two street, not a one wayโ€
