TRUE LOVE (A Doctor’s note)

It was approximately 8.30 a.m. on a busy morning when an elderly gentleman in his eighties arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9.00 a.m.

I took his vital signs and had him take a seat. I knew it would take more than an hour before someone would to able to attend to him. I saw him check his wa…tch anxiously for the time and decided to evaluate his wound since I was not busy with another patient.

On examination, the wound was well healed. Hence, I talked to one of the doctors to get the supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.

We began to engage in a conversation while I was taking care of his wound. I asked him if he had another doctor’s appointment later as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no and said that he needed to go to the nursing home to have breakfast with his wife.

I inquired about her health. He told me that she had been in the nursing home for a while as she was a victim of Alzheimer’s disease. I probed further and asked if she would be upset if he was slightly late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was and she had not been able to recognize him since five years ago.

I asked him in surprise, “And you still go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?”

He smiled as he patted my hand and said, “She doesn’t know me, but I still know who she is.”

I had to hold back my tears as he left.
I had goose bumps on my arm, and I thought, “That is the kind of love I want in my life.”

MORAL :

True love is neither physical nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.

WHAT??? how…? time flies…

please be assured I haven’t abandoned this blog… I just had a very bad year and didn’t have much to write (other than ranting about how bad my life was… and that’s no fun to write;read;remember no?)

anywayz… a very happy belated new year to you and stay tuned for updates!!

It was time to say goodbye.They swore they’d be best friends forever. Nothing more, nothing less. They wrote their promises on separate papers and swore they would read each others on one of their wedding day.
The girl wrote: I can’t promise that I won’t fall in love with you because i did.I can’t promise that we’d only be best friends because i want us to be more. I can’t promise i’ll walk down the aisle with someone else because i want to be your bride…
The guy wrote: I promise i won’t fall in love with you. I promise we’d only be best friends, nothing more. I promise i’ll walk down the aisle with someone else as my bride…
10 years later and it was the girl’s wedding day. The car just arrived at the church. Everyone was waiting for her to come out but she was reading a certain letter. She sighed and cried softly.
She walked down the aisle and arrived at the altar. She linked her hand with her groom and cried softly. She was getting married to the man of her dreams. Her best friend.
“Are you ok?” The groom asked.
“I just read your promise letter.” The girl said.
“You like it?” He asked softly.

“I love it!” The girl smiled.

TRUTH: Right at the bottom of the boy’s letter was a small message.

“These are the promises I know I’ll break. I love you.”

stay tuned!

I managed to make “broken” gag work in the English language on Friday…

so… a few coworkers and I were having dim sum, somehow the topic of smoking came up:

coworker: Steph, do you smoke?

Steph: umm… yup

coworker: WHAT?!?!?! OMG… YOU SMOKE??? WHAT DO YOU SMOKE?

Steph: Turkey

coworker: you smoke… huh?? what?? wait…

Steph: I said I smoke turkey, learning duck and salmon (XD)

coworkers: HAHAHAHAHA

^V^

so over the past year, I have observed how the traditional trend in Asia has dramatically diminished, before I wrote about Lin Chiling as a slut and some of the like because of her consistent exposure of her breasts… however, as much as I still do not approve of this image she has portrayed herself, I have discovered something more o靚模 or Pseudo-model (in English) which can be described as girls who are  young “wannabe” models who have no training nor possess the physical qualities (height) to being “real” traditional models.

Just what we need in this dysfunction society… a bunch of girls proving to others that looks matter… that selling your body (literally) matters… and this is what you need to be, to look, and to act in order to be successful…

Even now, I still love you… but I’m sure that even if we had written 1,000 messages back and forth… our hearts probably wouldn’t have moved even 1 centimeter closer.” – 5 cm per second

I’ll be honest, I haven’t exactly experienced what the 2 main characters experienced… but… I could feel the beauty of their “love” and I can recall a few instances where I almost felt something similar…

Please watch this amazing anime!! I guarantee it is totally worth watching!!! <3

I can finally breathe once again! Thank God you didn’t come back… really… I’m serious!… Your appearance brings nothing but sorrow and pain… it is all over now… don’t get me wrong… you can’t affect me the way you use to… you just bring me painful memories of your illusory personality… your once “so-perfect” image is no more… you don’t realize do you? … you were the person who lied, cheated, played with me like a toy… made me a fool to the point where all my dignity and all “ME” was gone.. why should you make it seem as if I’m the one who did something wrong?

you jerk!! >____< till now… I can’t stand seeing you happy… seeing your pretentious actions… seeing you…

I’ve moved on… I can’t prove it but I have… as my first entry of 2011 states… “New Beginnings”… you clearly moved on… so have I… but memories, songs… they all linger… they remind me of how stupid, how naive, how foolish I was… sometimes I wonder… if I only haven’t met you… would things have been different? urgh!!! get out of my mind!!! :@
