Idealistic Daw Ako

What I love about my History class is that it allows me to be idealistic, na hindi ko alam na puwede ko palang gawin.

Hindi naman siguro sa saka lang ako nagkakaroon ng care sa inang bayan twing alas diyes y medya ng umaga. It's just that, binubuhay ng Histo ko ang sense of relevance na meron pala ako, hindi lang nailalabas kase nga puro dugo, katawan ng tao, bacteria at chemicals ang pinag-aaralan sa course na to.

Na-"touch" (haha) ako sa sinabi ng Histo prof ko nun na, "It's a pity that you decided to pursue a medical course, you could have done well in the Social Sciences."

At least kahit papano pala, marunong din ako maging articulate. Kahit papano. Haha.

Eniweys, naaaliw na naman ako sa discussion kanina. Eto yung tanong na ibinato ni Sir,

"WITH THE PROFRESSION YOU WILL BE PURSUING IN THE FUTURE,WHAT LEGACY COULD YOU PASS ON TO YOUR FELLOW FILIPINO PEOPLE?"

Madali magsalita. Dami ngang nasabi ng isang kaklase ko kanina eh, na hindi ko naman pinapakinggan. Me nabuo na kasing plano sa utak ko:

LIFE GOALS:

1.Finish up BMLS

2.Take and pass the board exams

3.Work for three years in some hospital for experience

4. Take up Medicine

5. Go abroad and get FILTHY RICH (haha)

6. Go back to the Philippines and build a hospital

Number 6 is so clear to me, in fact so clear that I could almost picture myself walking through the halls of my own hospital. In here, I would pledge to serve my people. Discounted drugs, no professional fee, preferential option for the poor(that is soooo NSTP. haha). Besides, I wouldn't even be needing money by then, remember, I'm already FILTHY RICH. At ang nakakaaliw pa nito, hindi bola ang listahang yan. Just this very day, I have decided to pursue those goals for the rest of my life.

I don't need to do anything heroic (like you know, go up to Malacañang and strangle the President) to be able to serve this dang country of bagoong, balut and tokneneng. The only thing that I could ever promise to the Philippines is that someday I'm going to pay back the resources that I have consumed from her while I was being shaped into something significant. I'm not gonna promise to stay, but I'll assure this country that whatever place in the world that I would go into, I will always come back. Come back and build that hospital. (Oh yeah, in case you'll be needing its services in the near future, the edifice is named SIBAYAN HOSPITAL.=p)

See? I do not wish to go and work abroad for the rest of my life. It would be like renovating some stranger's home while yours is still in the slums.

Philippines is my country. Its air was the first air I have ever inhaled. Its land was the first land I ever stepped into. This is where I developed me. Ano ang ibang bansa sa abroad para pagsilbihan ko..SINUSWERTE?

This is why I avoided BS Nursing in the first place. I hated the idea that I would be spending the whole of my significant life somewhere other than the Philippines. Ano yon, studying hard in a Filipino school so you could graduate and hurriedly leave the Philippines? Traitor.

This entry is not just a dream for the Philippines. This is a dream for myself as a Filipino citizen. Until further notice.
