CHOCO CUSTARD CAKE :)

Sweet. Just came from a short vacation. It was awesome.
The long hours of traveling alone have made me drift to deeper thoughts.
I came to a realization that I've missed a lot of wonderful happenings; because of staying in the job I never really learned to love even after the hard times of trying.
I've met a few people in Tandag, his family and I saw how they're showing genuine smiles and an aura of pure bliss. I saw how they can't exchange a simple life there with a life in the big city. There, they are bounded by strong family ties, passion for their beloved land and the joys of simple living, an easy, breezy summertime-whole-year-round feel. I saw in their faces a worry free canvas of faces. Being there with them had made me feel like I've stressed myself too much and that I can choose to be carefree. (HAYAHAY).
I tavelled a not-so polluted city, felt the fresh air blow upon my hair, saw the white powdered sand and how it's kissed by the loving sea, the beautiful, blue crystalline beaches.
I wanted to stay, I could go on an absence without leave but I had to go back to my place where my family awaits me, where my job and patients had to be taken cared of. Having to work and nurse the sick and dying people had taught me how to have longer patience, being understanding and passionate about life. But being enclosed in a concrete building with the smell of alcohol and death beds, it made me think of the many long holidays and vacations I deserve to enjoy,. It's easy to just quit, I don't like to be on the hospital working my ass out there, spending long overtimes in a minimum pay, without really planning to seek greener pasture outside the country.
But I thought, it has been planned that I spend my time in Davao, that I work in the hospital to learn how to be strong, to know what it is I wanted to do for the rest of my life and the people I wanted to spend vacations with. I am fortunate enough to have a job, to earn when some are still hunting for a job. I am living with my family and it would only be 8 hours of travel to Surigao. There is really not much to be unhappy about my life. I am blessed enough to call myself a free man. Destiny have chosen me to become an instrument of healing and creating change in people's lives. A happy heart brings contagious positivity.
Yes, I've been missing the holidays. yes, I need to have those vacations i deserve. but I have always been surrounded my a happy environment, I only need to choose it's color. i have long been tired of living a very negative vibe. It's about time to feel the choco custard cake in my mouth, to taste every sweet life it gives. Life is sweet and wonderful :) Life is a choco custard cake :)
