WOW. I had one great weekend.
Last time, I felt like I was the happier-than-the-happiest person in the world.
The story begins with..

Last Saturday, I went to Espana for my review classes without knowing that we are going to have a finals on Sociology. MyGulay, I dont know anything about sociology except for the meaning of CULTURE -- and unfortunately, that one didn't come out on the exam, so I went through all the questions scribbling nonsense. Wahaha, it was fun, because for the first time, I didn't have to worry about flunking. Biglang nawala si GC Kris.

Lunch time came, and it was again a 'bonding moment' for or review class. Two students from La Salle, joined us at McDo Espana. Nyahaha.. The girl was silent, and didnt much like talking to us. The guy, Ray Victor, was asking about admission to medical schools and paid much attention to what I was saying about UP Medicine. Ayihee. Wala lng :) We had the same food - Savory Beef rice, except that he had an apple pie for dessert. And for me? Wala. Diet eh. hehe

Upon returning to class, I saw a guy in white shirt on the seat where I was for the AM session. YES, it was him . ayihee.. talaga naman. I sat on the next row, beside Bob's seat. A CASCADE (hehehe) of EVENTS came next...

Melissa: Hey, -toot- manonood cya (pointing to me) ng teatro.
-Toot-: Oh, talaga?@?@ tsk (While extending his hand to me, wanting me to tap it)

###OF COURSE, what would I do?###

Kris: (Extending hand, and tapping -toot-'s) Oo, manonood ako. (Sabay smile)
-Toot-: (Smile din)
Kris: Kasali ka dun?
-Toot-: hehe, ndi ako kasali sa actors, technical director ako.
Kris: haha, kala ko makikita kita sa stage...
-Toot-: ay, hindi...

###At sumunod ang walang katapusang exchange of glances### Yuk, kapal///

Before classes ended, he turned back and asked for my seatmate's name.

-Toot-: Ano name mo?
Ate: Celine Abigail

###Tapos tumitingin cya sa akin, (feeling) pero ayaw ko tumingin, I was pretending to listen to the lecture###

After class, when we were all standing up, and waiting for handouts for the classes we missed,

-Toot-: (Turning back, then facing me) Ano name mo?
Kris: Kris
-Toot-: Grace? Ah.. Grace
Kris: Hindi.. Kris (With the strong KKRRR sound)
-Toot-: Ah.. :)

And then we all went home. But before that, we smiled at each other//`~~

Ayiheee...

Haba ng post ko noh?? Meron pa yan, kaya lng malapit na mag-Anat. Cge, next time n lng ulit :)

I am shy to share why, but recently, I feel like the happiest person in the world. It began last Wednesday, before I left the house for my 3rd exam in Anatomy. I feel like being born again, a feeling unexplainable and beyond description by words. Since then I have become eager to face the days ahead, with no worries, no hesitations. Hay.. :)
Speaking of eagerness, I can't wait until 8 am tomorrow! Just when I thought that my NMAT Review classes would be the most boring hours of my life, now they seem to be the most exciting! nyehehe. [To Ryan] It is not just because SOMEBODY's there, or because I have gained a lot of friends -- it's the thought of becoming a doctor someday that thrills me the most. Now it is REALLY final: I WANT TO BECOME A DOCTOR. I want to be different from others, I would like to take risks. I want to feel how it is like to be used in lengthening another's life. I want to experience how it is to be in the ER treating patients in trauma. As it is printed on my highschool yearbook,

LODROÑO, Kris T.
Missionary Doctor

I can't wait to reach out to people's souls by sharing God's goodness to me at the same time practicing my profession as a doctor.

A year and more than a half to go. Soon I'd be studying cadavers, viewing slides, and learning Medicine. More than that, I'd be preparing for the most important phase of my life - Servanthood.
