Updates for no one

Went to Cagayan de Oro and Davao for work.


CDO - Hyperacidity attack at 3 in the morning, really bad hotel, construction outside my room, ac is hella noisy, really old bed and pillows, no hot water, got flu in the middle of training: worst training experience ever because of those things.

MNL - Rushed myself to the ER again a day before I depart for Davao.

DVO - Spent the first night in the hospital, they wanted to admit me for 48 hours, had to say no naturally, trained the morning after, good hotel, good food, good weather. It was smooth sailing after the first night.

Makati Med - Filed a leave last Friday, to finally have myself checked. Initial finding of the Gastroentorologist was Acid Peptic Disease. Ulcer. Advised to have endoscopy but paperworks got in the way. Specialist will only be available until Wednesday. I couldn't take a leave next week. Will settle for Saturday for the procedure. Hoping it doesn't hurt. Nurse assured me I was gonna be put to sleep.

Mom is coming back home. Not sure exactly when. Lots of bilin. I'm sure 1/4 lang maalala niya.

It's Saturday today. Raining. Hard. Will sleep in this afternoon. That's after a good night's rest last night.

By the way, the evaluations for my CDO and DVO training are overwhelming. I guess this is really my passion. I'm happy.

trolling

Well, not really. Just browsing some friends over at Facebook and found this from one of my former classmates in DLSU, Nestle.


Love is that quiet certainty, that final decision, that we will spend our lives together, whether we get married or not, whether we become great or not. It’s not I-need-to-be-with-you, but simply, I am with you, not right now, not even right here in this world, but forever, in that soul place beyond the reach of the world’s problems and questions and influences.

I always have admired her writing skills. These are just perfect lines.


And no. It has nothing to do with me.

questions and nostalgia

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.
- Rainer Maria Rilke

I remember posting this on my fridge back in college and having memorized it, too, by heart. It's a great quote.
