Maybe 3 years from now ( This is still a plan. I'll graduate BS Medical Technology on 2014 then I'll pause from going to school for one year for the Medical Technology licensure examination. I'm planning to start Medicine on 2015), I'll pursue the most challenging chapter of my student life.

I know that it's too early to ponder on this. What I should focus is the upcoming "Hunger Games". But I think it's better to plan ahead. I don't want the worst experiences in my high school to happen all over again due to insufficient planning. I was just good in making goals yet not all of them happened.

I'm planning to enroll a certain school ( I will not just mention its name) for Medicine. I'm sorry but CIM is just my second choice. I knew one school which is as best as CIM but the fees are lower. If I will be given a chance to be there, it's just like I'll go back to Medical Technology because of the fees. But a friend of mine discouraged me to take the said school because it's so hard to get into there. Anyway, what's wrong in trying. I have my 2nd choice anyway.

One of its requirements is to get a 90th percentile rank. It's not entirely the number of correct answers you got. It means you should be one of the top
scorers in that particular exam.

Unexpectedly, it doesn't cover medical knowledge. As I saw the practice sets, it's just like NCAE (National Career Assessment Examination) which I took last 4th year high school. It's covers general knowledge. Its purpose is to measure how capable you are in pursuing a medical course.

Me and my mom just went to SM. I had an opportunity to search NMAT reviewers in National Bookstore. I just saw one from MSA (It is a known review centers for various examinations even for college entrance exams). It costs 649 pesos. I should avail it as soon as possible. Therefore, I should save.

SECRECY and trust

Secrecy is the quality or condition of being hidden. It is marked by the habit of discretion.

I guess no one ever exists without secrets hidden. These could be anything about family, love, friendship and etc. Ironically, secrets are meant to be shared with the one you "trust". Mostly, people cannot handle to conceal everything so there's a tendency to spill them off.

Trust-- it is an assured reliance on the truth of someone or something. If someone shares his secret unto you, then he gains his trust on you. Yet a single slip of the tongue can break ones trust. Trust is like a mirror, you can't fix it when it's broken. Though you can try to stick the pieces, the crack is still there.

Most of my friends rather share their secrets to their close friends than to their parents. Indeed, I'm different. I always share my own secrets to my mother. She even updated on my crushes. That's how I trust her. Aside from her, there are also my close friends especially my sisters, CRIFTs.

I'm really flattered when somebody shares his own secrets to me. I really love the feeling of being trusted. Believe it or not, I could be a victim of slipping tongue. That's why I'd rather keep my mouth shut than to dare to spill somebody's secret. It is really hard when trust is lost.

Yes, keeping a secret is difficult. Then it really matters on how you control your mind. You should think of the consequences if you let the cat out of the bag. Aside from the worst aftermath which is broken trust, you can embarrass a certain person then ruin his reputation. Maybe, you can destroy somebody's plan.

You can lie if it is really needed. Not all liea can harm. Lie can be beneficial. It really depends on the situation. That's a defense mechanism to remain a secret hidden. Pretend you don't know anything.

To keep safe, better change the topic of a conversation when there's a tendency in digging up a secret. Have a presence of mind

If you want to share your own secret to somebody, think first if the subject of that trust is really that reliable. Anyone has a possibility to spread a secret.

Yes, secrets are meant to be concealed yet most are meant to be revealed. Brace yourself on the revelation but don't let it happen by somebody else's mouth.

Happy 4th Birthday Invulnerable Secrecy :)

The awkward moment when my last post was last May 11 yet the day after that was the birthday of this blog.

After an hour of nap, I just had a mood to post an entry to this blog. I brainstormed some topics that should be ideal for my next post. Suddenly, I realized that this month marks another year for this blog.

I was turning third year high school when this blog was born. Actually, this isn't really my first blog. The first one was a part of my late friendster account. Unfortunately, due to changing in format, I wasn't able to recover my blog.

I didn't expect that invulnerable secrecy would last this long. I even stated in my intro that I wasn't really interested in blogging. Eventually, this blog has been growing since then.

This blog isn't really too updated with regards to my life. At least this gives sone overview on what's going on before. It's really fun to reread some of my older posts.

There may be some switches in this blog like the layout and even the name itself ("alison's blog" was its old name) yet the person behind is still constant. Some post maybe pointless but still each post means so much to me. I vow that when I attain my desired profession, this blog will still be with me. I'll really pass this to my children in the future.

Happy Birthday Invulnerable Secrecy.

PS. Just to let you know, I was inspired by my sister's blog that gave rise to the birth of my own blog.

"I have a dream"

I have a dream, a song to sing, to help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of the fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels, something good in everything I see
I believe in angels, when I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy, to help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels, something good in everything I see

I believe in angels, when I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream

I have a dream, a song to sing, to help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels, something good in everything I see
I believe in angels, when I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream

Misconception of "weee.. ayoooooooooo.. "

Yesterday, while waiting for a tv program. I was bored. I was tired to read (Read lang gud ang tawag.. sus kung kinsa tong nakasabot.. you know na.. I just don't want it to be obvious). So I read my old posts in this blog. There were certain posts that I found silly. Well, I realized that reading my old posts is a measure on how mature my mind is. Honestly, I never thought that I'll think or do such things I expressed in those posts.

Did you remember this post? I posted that last May 12 2009, entited weee.. ayoooooooooo... It's almost three years, eh? This post really struck me while rereading this last night. Okay let's talk about the middle part. (Let's just call it part... I cannot call it a paragraphs because nothing's really indented in that post)

"It seems that it's too early in thinking about my college but see time is too fast and I'm already in the last year of my high school.
I am already sure about my course. It's computer engineering pero yung ate ko.. nagsabi na sana magchange yung mind ko.. sana pipili pa ako ng mas bonggang course. Gusto sana niyang maging DOCTOR or lawyer ako.
Paano, I really want to enter their industry.. If magiging doctor ako, it seems that I will not be happy. I appreciate the doctors who heal.. pero kahit anong encouragement ng mga relatives ko.. parang ayaw ko talaga. It isn't my passion. I just studied well in advanced biology for the sake of my grades.
Kung law.. ayoko rin.. hahayzt..
Gusto ko talaga yung course na pinagpasyahan ko. Alam ko na mahirap yun kasi involved talaga siya sa math.. eh bahala na.. I'll take all the risks. Eh kasi yun ang passion ko. Baka makaya ko gamit ng pagsisikap.
At saka kapag nakatapos na ako at saka may bongga na akong trabaho."

Char, tagalog pa ang drama.. Hahahah.. If you're a follower of my blog, what can you say about what I am now in the present? Do you have any clues behind the portions that were bold and red. Okay, if you don't know what I'm into right now.. Okay.. I said I will never be a doctor but now I'm playing on a game with aspiring doctors. I think I haven't posted an entry about my changed decision (Nakalimot na ko.. I can't recall because I have 143 posts so far.. I haven't finished rereading).

Let me give a chance to explain everything in this entry. I decided to go into my sister's suggestion because i felt a vibe on taking an engineering course... that may be bad. It's about my weakness in mathematics. There came to a thought about taking risk. If I'll take risks, what if a bad effect might come.. I might not get that "bonggang trabaho".

On being a doctor, I know my sister has a purpose why she suggested me that. I know she trusted my skills and I can do it.

Honestly I decided to go to that because I was really uncertain. Feel nako.. murag makaya ra man tingali ni nako dah, someday I'll learn to love it..

At first I chose BS Biology as an option. Then a mother of a friend of mine suggested BS Medical Technology at Velez College. She said that's the best pre-medical course. I was really clueless about that course. Regardless of it, I took it.

The start of first year in Velez College wasn't really great for me. I haven't got a good stigma in studying because I thought I was unhappy for choosing that option. But I passed all the subjects..

Second semester of First year made me start to love my course especially when I met some friends who made me go through it. Finally, I flew to the Dean's List and it made me more inspired.

Second Year gave me a stronger stigma. Of course the highlight was when I got my anaphy grade. I know I haven't burst my whole effort on that subject but I still got great remarks. In front of my admission slip.. For the first time I vowed to be a doctor heartily.

By this time I'm on my way to the hunger games (you know that already).. I think it's my time to give my all because all of the subjects are majors. I hope I will receive the strongest stigma in that time. Promise that's the time I'll give my all.. -- I'll give my all for me to learn ... then to be a great medical technologist ...then to be a great doctor.. I'll try harder though my effort might not be enough to stand on the effing Dean's List (I still really want to stay. Okay it's up on my fortune and it's up to the Lord if he will let me stay there..). as long as I supply my brain with knowledge.

Okay.. these are all my drama for now.. Tan-aw sa ko ug Dong Yi..

Summer 2012

Summer 2012- Traditionally, this is the "last" real summer of Velezian Medtechs. It is done after 2nd year of the course. It gives the students the opportunity to recharge themselves before sacrificing themselves as tributes on third year. 


BSMT3- This could be like Hunger Games. (As what our ates and kuyas who went through this told us). It is the real battle for Velezian Medtechs. Students are faced into a fierce arena wherein they will discover their true skills and fortune on this course. 


As for now as a medtech student, I'm still in the "recharging stage". Before bidding adieu to 2nd year, most of my fellow medtechs planned about summer. Because it's the "last" real summer, they planned to make it epic and unforgettable like going to beach, summer outing and it could be like unforgettable journey like travelling to another country. They said these might not happen again forever. Supposed, I planned for a summer job. My mom refused at first then suddenly, she allowed me. Then I realized that it's not really worth it to enter a summer job. Yes, I could earn money but I might end myself stressed. Not mentally stressed but physically stressed. 


This summer, I still made my usual routine during summers in high school. Sleeping-eating-internet-watching tv. Due to boredom, I added some activities-- studying (I admit it, for the preparation on third year, but I only do it one hour a day) and reading books (not related to my course)..


I may not have the opportunity to experience the unwinding activities like my other batchmates do on summer. But I guess what I'm doing right now is better. I already have a chance to ponder on my future and also this is a better recharge for me for third year. I don't want to start up nothing on third year.
