And I am grateful.

Remember the date a friend promised last week?

Well, she waited until my class ended yesterday and we had dinner at Rob. As a bonus, my other friend who’s currently PGH also was able to join us despite her toxicity. That was a “detox” time because I just had a long exam, a practical exam and a surprise post lecture exam. Nice ano?

Anyways, my friend was saying she never wanted to pursue med because she doesn’t want to lose her social life. And I was telling her, how your “social life” goes is totally relative. Like for instance, I’m happy just to have dinner (every now and then nga lang) with them because I know all of them are busy (just like me,, hehe, and physical work is really tiring I know). Also, ever since I was younger, my social life mostly revolves around my family and my close friends (and some random extra curricular activities). And yes, I’ve also been allotting “extra” time for.. *something else* (just in case).

And I’m thankful for that. Although sometimes I’m curious what excitement “gimmicks” does to party loving people, it doesn’t mean I’d rather choose that way of having fun. I’m relatively living a monk’s life, but I’m so good with that. It’s simpler. Madrama minsan, pero, I guess it’s just because of my “nature”. State of mind lang yan, sabi nga ng aking bagong “mother” sa school.

And K’s been hanging out here (she’s taking up med at UP naman… henyo eh).. and starting to *invest* by leaving clothes, toiletries, etc..haha! Medyo official business, we share our stuffs kasi, books, notes (mostly from her, because they’re so BOMBARDED with info in a very very short period of time… imagine neuroanatomy in three days??), pero siyempre she would always tend to stay a bit longer… hihingahan muna ako ng katoxican niya sa school. But it’s fun when she does that, puro reklamo but then again, she’s really the MOST DILLIGENT and efficient student you’ll ever meet (and I’m not biased because she’s a friend, totoo un).

Haha.. and I’m still not over missing my friends ano?

But don’t get me wrong, I am in good company with my classmates now. They’re different in a good way. I have an ate (”mother”) and a younger sister (gosh, I can see my haggardness in her). I’m also thankful that they’re currently my “support group” at school.
