We often face dilemma, and everyday we need to make a difficult choice. To be or not to be, what's the answers to my question? The original lines during my dear friend back in high school during her oratorical speech, "to be or not to be..and that is the question." Tomorrow will be our toga distribution, plus unexpected graduation practice. So we have a practice tomorrow, and it conflicts my review schedule. A little regret on my part, because my parents need to pay for that again and it conflicts my schedule for studying. So, I think I'll be having some resched suggestion to the review adviser (who happens to be the wife of my professor in Oral surgery).

Oral Diagnosis and Roent versus Toga distribution and Grad practice for April 8, 2008.

I decided to avoid the following:
Coffee and Fats. Yes, I'm guilty of excessive consumption of fats and I don't want to get to a breaking point. I'll have my general check up after passing the Board Exam (Faith ito!) so to stop this anxiety I'm having. I better love drinking water and change my eating habits before its too late. Plus the fact that neurons (brain cells) and myocytes (heart cells) are the only permanent cells in the body. This means, it can't rejuvenate once used. (***God made all things perfect, even our bodies. Imagine if this two cells were not perfect, it will just divide and it will not be balance anymore). Anyways, thanks for His grace its not yet late to be healthy.

I've noticed that as the days passed by, the were challenges ahead of me that I need to face. First, physical, then financial, next another aspect. I'm grateful the His words are always perfect and flawless. No regret that I have chosen to take my relationship with Him seriously. Though I'm still far from being perfect, I know His faithful and my Hope is in Him.

He checked my motives about taking the upcoming Dental Board Exam (this May for theoretical; June for practicals). Yes, admittedly I want to prove something. It was wrong, a sign of insecurity, self reliance, and trace of bitterness. First of all taking the board exam doesn't measure you whole being. Its a test of improvement, how well did one learned during his/her years studying the field of Dentistry. Second, letting go of the past experiences that brought some bitterness to some people during the practice of such scientific discipline. I'm thankful that I've finished my studies in CEU. Not only I was able to study there but just being in a university is already a privilege. God provided everything and I cannot boast anything. He made my parents as a vessel to bless my studies. Instead of reminiscing the past complains and rants, I rather have a thankful attitude at all times.

Next thing, I was really bothered by this students who had been laughing about other dental school. I don't think we have the right to judge a student according to the school he came from. Sorry, I may sound serious, OA or what ever you call it, injustice yun for me. Plus, taking the board exam for the third time is not funny so don't laugh, instead be thankful your not on her shoes. Anyways, I've been reminded again about how did Jesus acted during those situation. WWJD (what would Jesus Do). Si Lord, secure lang. He knows what to do in every moment, cause He is led by the spirit. He focus on his mission and not the destruction of the enemy, and the enemy himself. He said in psalms, "Doing something for you, bringing something to you—that's not what you're after. Being religious, acting pious—that's not what you're asking for," (from Psalm 40:6 the MSG).

So lessons learned:
1. SECURITY. God is my refuge in times of troubles. Trust (means, not being moved or distracted by situations or people) HIM and He knows what's best. Jesus as the model.
2. GRACE. His grace is enough.
3. Don't be distracted by others, just listen to God for encouragements is within His word. His presence is the most safest place to be, in the center of His will.

4 Even when the way goes through
      Death Valley,
   I'm not afraid
      when you walk at my side.
   Your trusty shepherd's crook
      makes me feel secure.
(from Psalms 23)

*Btw, i'm doing this in between my study breaks. Today is my official study mode. I wasn't able to meet my friend Bianx for our study session, due to lack of rest. Straight week of review. Well, sacrifice, for it will all be worth it in the end.

Back to study mode. (",)♥♡♥
