Seeing the end of a rainbow and other musings
Friday, July 15th, 2005Has anyone (aside from Jen and Rico E, MaBelle) seen the end of a rainbow? I/we have. Last Sunday. It was a glorious — and humorous — sight, especially after realizing that one end of the rainbow (before the rains came near the vicinity) pointed straight to the PGH-OPD. Haha. I guess we have to dig for that pot of gold there… Anyway, i don’t think i’ll ever see anything like that again in my entire life. But then, it proved that things you didn’t know could happen, could.
Segue to the perennial musings about the upcoming life-changing event: this examination is really a test of faith. Of course, no one can REALLY be ready for it (unless you’re superhuman or you’re not doing anything else in your life), but the occasional (if not frequent) worries come your way. Like, what if i don’t pass? Have i studied the right materials? How come i don’t remember much, even after my nth reading??? Worse, why am i worrying about non-boards-related things during these times????? These plagued me yesterday, which hindered me from focusing. And then, Edhel my landlady said what [i think] i needed to hear at that moment: in a nutshell, worrying is useless. It’s unproductive and pointless. And, more importantly, we shouldn’t worry because God is the one doing the worrying for us. We should just do what is [physiologically] possible to prepare. To you people out there who are worry-warts like myself, STOP. We are not doing ourselves any good by worrying.
Another realization came to mind: thoughts or worries, when voiced out, make them more real, even if hindi naman sila talaga totoo. Sigh, the power of autosuggestion has come my way oh too many times.
Anyway, i wait in vain for September to come…
