Detour

Change                                                                


Strange as it may seem, this is the most random thing in my world right now. Like the dawn of another era or the birth of another year, a new chapter of my life is starting anew. Even the way I start and end my day involve lots of transformations.

Changes can be good or bad. Either way, those are inevitable. Making room for the said changes though is like taking a detour- there are no ifs and buts, just twists and turns.




Sometimes, some things just don't last. Some gadgets we've gotten used to come and go. In my case, I had to let go of Samsung SGH-D830 this week. Honestly, I didn't expect that I'd feel this way when my Samsung phone was taken away from me last Sunday. I guess the four tough years that I've spent with this gadget is still incomparable to the hype that much modern ones can bring. I really miss my white slim fit phone and it will really take time before I'll get used to a new phone in my life.

As I made room for new gadgets in my life, I also had drastic variances in my daily routine. Well, since I was diagnosed with a hypoactive thyroid gland (which means that I have a sluggish metabolism) last January, I stopped dieting. I just felt too hopeless to live with this condition. However, I finally realized that I won't let my condition from doing the things I love like dieting and exercising. Now, my lazy mornings are energized with more intense dance work-outs. I'm also moderating my calorie intake. I may still have a lot of weight to lose but with enough motivation, medication, and determination, I'll definitely get that slim body, right?

I was dancing my way through the week when I came across this video about the NLE (Nurse Licensure Exam) in the Philippines today. According to the video, there is a great possibility that board exam results can be switched. With P100,000, the real board flunkers can get their licenses by claiming the board ratings of some passers. If this is true, the Licensure Examination in the country will be put to waste. Why work hard for it when other can aquire licenses through money anyway? I greatly condemn people who engage themselves in such acts. They are the ordinary Filipinos who curse the rotten political system in the country today. They are among those who want to put the corrupt politicians behind bars while they commit corruption at their own costs too. What a shame! I've entrusted my future to these people and if they want to dignify their reputation, they have to stop playing dirty. After all, money can't buy dignity.

Through it all, I've realized that life involves a lot of choices. There are lots of roads to take, lots of bumps along the way. However, it's comforting to know that no matter how many U-turns or detours we take, God will still be with us along the way.
