THE WEEKEND (and Off days) GUY
...Just don't expect me to hang around here more often.
As some of you might know, I'm currently at Med school and things here are a bit hectic (and quite stressful too) with all the studying and activities that come around from time to time. These are the very reasons for why I started being inactive around two years. Those times where my transition period and it was hard for me to juggle up my priorities. I would be lying if I told you guys that things right now have mellowed down, the reality is quite the opposite really (I think this will be the toughest year so far). But, regardless of all of those things, I still wish to continue on here on this site. Some people might call it poor judgement but I cannot just flush three years of experience right down the toilet just because I'm in Med school!
We Med students need hobbies too you know! Or else will start getting crazy!
Well, joking aside, I've decided that in order to balance out everything I'll only be coming here during the Weekends...and possible, during Holidays. I still have my obligations to both myself and the community and I think it's only appropriate for me to honor them.
So, there you have it!
Hope I got the message clear and I also hope I can live on to my words...

So......Hiatus or SHOULD I REALLY GO?
For the past few months things haven't really been good for me. With countless paperwork waiting to be finished, I can no longer keep an eye out here in deviantART. My current situation is reflected in my sporadic appearances here in this site.
I'm currently contemplating whether or not to discontinue my stay here. I know it's been a hell of an adventure with you guys for the past year but it seems that luck isn't in y side and the artistic flame is no longer burning as bright as it was.
I'm sorry.
I leave you all with this simple message of mine: trainerem-dustin.deviantart.co…
I'll notify you all on the decision that I'll be making. For now, sorry is all I can say. Please wish me luck in all my upcoming endeavors. Thank you
Wow! Time sure is fast. 2014 have already arrive in our doorsteps. I'm pretty much sure that all of us have their plans on what to do for this upcoming year but before we push through to any of it let us first take some time to remember the things that had gone by last 2013 it's first 2013.
Each of us has his or her own story to tell about what last 2013 was. For me it was truly a LIFE CHANGING year...LITERALLY!
I cannot fully explain the details to why I called 2013 LIFE CHANGING but I can share to you folks some personal tidbits to why last year was an exceptional period.
First off, has anyone around here had an account in betraying his or her friends? I'm not talking about those minor betrayals that usually ends up as pranks, I'm taking about THE BETRAYALS. The ones that totally break hearts and would typically haunt you in your dreams.
Last year, I did it out of stupidity and it totally lead me down hill for about a few weeks. Almost every aspect of my life was affected from eating to deviantART. Man, just remembering the details sends shivers down my spine!
Well I cannot enumerate every detail of that said event but if there was one lesson that I've learn from all of it, it was never turn your back on your friends. That's it. It's simple, but you'll be surprise how important that lesson is.

Second, College. What about it? Well I just graduated from it.
The thing that I could share to you guys (especially for the ones who hadn't graduated yet) is to savor the moment. That's right, savor the moment. Why? It's up to you to know why.

Third, REMISSION...remission of FEAR and ANXIETY.
I'm one of those people who have some sort of anxiety attacks. After 15 long years of absence, my "phobias" came back in full force. I don't want to talk about this much but I'm pretty sure people who has similar cases can relate to this....in face of such attacks, the rational becomes irrational and the irrational becomes the rational.

Finally, YOLANDA. Sounds like a pretty little name given to an exotic woman but in reality that name for me is far from pretty, its rather disastrous. YOLANDA is the local name of the strongest storm ever recorded last 2013, super typhoon Haiyan. The worst storm to have ever hit the Philippines.Looking back, it was a miracle that I was able to survive that monstrous storm. Peering into my mind, I can still remember the grizzly howls of the wind crashing down in every houses and the violent surges of flood waters that drowned thousands of my fellow countrymen. It was such an unfortunate event, one that I'm pretty sure to remember for the rest of my life.

The Three Gifts of Christmas
Whenever I hear about Christmas and see the smiles and laughter in people's faces, it helps me look back and wonder about the three simple gifts of this joyous Holiday. Let me share to all of you these three simple gifts which represent the Christmas spirit.
The first one is Hope.
All of us had experience difficulties throughout this year. Some were personal while others were purely devastating. In the midst of these uncertainties, it is hard for us to grasp the notion of hope but even in these darkest of times Christmas is there to remind us that there is always hope, a reason for us to live and move on.
The second one is Life.
It is a common for us to think that the higher the price is, the better the gift becomes. It would be hard for most of us to imagine a Christmas without gifts but Christmas tells us that the greatest gifts are not the material ones nor is it the ones which are the most expensive but rather the greatest gift that could ever be provided is actually Life itself.
You’re more valuable than any other gifts.
You‘re more than what others think of you.
Remember that Christmas is full of Life and a Christmas without people is not a Christmas at all.
The last one is Love.
Strip Christmas of all its decorations and you’ll see that it’s nothing more than a birth of a child in a manger surrounded by peasants and shepherds. But there is more to this simple event, it is actually the start of the greatest Love story the world has ever known. It’s the birth of Jesus and God’s greatest gift to mankind.
Christmas is about being thankful for those people who are with you through thick and thin.
It’s about being Human to all, whether they be strangers or not.
As what is commanded by Him, Love one another as how you love yourself.
This Christmas, let us all be Merry and thankful. Let us do the things that bring joy not only towards ourselves but also to others. Remember, the greatest Christmas starts within the heart.
Merry Christmas to all and God bless! :bademoticon:
See you soon
