I miss New York

I miss New York. I feel that there is so much to be discovered in that city. Though, I've only been there for five amazing days, I feel that it has already won me over. Just finished watching Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, a movie set around the streets of the Big Apple, and yes it brought me wanting New York more (just like any other show about this place). How I wish to be there this moment. Or maybe not... I don't think I can stand the cold. :(

Unique New York. Unique New York. Unique New York. Unique New York.

Karev's words of wisdom

"Maybe we need to get a little messed up so that we can step up" - Alex Karev talking about the significance of trauma

Love the Grey's Writers, thank you for writing such beautiful material that speaks about the ups and downs of life.

I don't get to write anymore...

Not that I consider myself as a writer. I try. Hahaha. Defensive. Anyway, it's been a roller coaster ride for me the past months mainly because of my Fulbright scholarship apps. I'm finally passing my application this coming Monday and the rest I leave it up to God's grace. I did what I can, now it's time for destiny to decide my fate. Speaking of destiny, Jai Ho is such a catchy song and Slumdog Millionaire is a must watch movie. I like how they were able to have a real nice storyline and still show the different facets of India in the process. Makes me wonder why our own Filipino movies are stuck with love stories of JLC (John Lloyd Cruz). I watched the JLC and Sarah movie 'You Changed My Life', by the way. I watched both movies, actually, Part 1 and 2. Ha! Maybe that's why they make it. Because they sell. But, I think Filipino producers should consider doing other movies for a change. We have great talents. Filipino's have so much potential.

That's what we do. That's our job.

I quoted something from Grey's Anatomy before. Here I go again with something worth pondering.

"You're unmotivated. You're careless, selfish, distracted. And pretty much the people in this hospital I would least trust with my life. But that's how it's supposed to be. You're interns, you're babies. And you are all lucky to be here. We're all lucky because we can save lives. Everyday we get to save lives. That's what we do. That's our job. And it's not something a lot of people get to do."(And then, Dr. Steven's continues by teaching them how they can learn from their mistake and improve as doctors)

Sometimes it's hard to bank on people who don't show appreciation for what they do. Or how lucky they even are to be on that spot. But sometimes, you have to go one and hope that they learn along the way and be the person you invested on, and more-- in the first place.

Veronika Decides to Die (2009)

A good read. Looking forward to watching this. Sarah Michelle Gellar pa!

Contemplating over Fulbright

I don't know if I should even attempt to apply for this scholarship. I heard the tough competition for this and the usual candidates they look for. What's keeping me from pursuing this is the fact that I might not give a compelling application and its just a waste of time for me and those who would do my recommendation letters. I don't think I'm the person they're looking for although I know (in my heart) I'm scholarship material. But who knows, right? It really doesn't hurt to try. I need to get going if I want to apply for this.

2,500 USD for OrgForward.com

I'm will enter OrgForward.com to the I Will Teach You To Be Rich Scholarship for Social Innovation. It won't hurt if I try. I hope my application is compelling enough for me to deserve the scholarship.
