EFFERVESCENCE: Still the Idealist Me

Still the Idealist Me

Yey to me and my siblings. Yey to the Robinsons Family as well. We just watched Meet the Robinsons [again]. It was so inspiring.
I feel so rejuvenated. After all that had happened this past sem, the movie was the most appropriate detoxifying agent.
Watching how Lewis realized the importance of moving forward never fails to inspire me amidst the moments I feel the stuggles of life most.
I really thought I would be all grumpy after not being able to perform oustandingly well (is there such a term?) during the past semester. But, He never let me be stuck into such detrimental situation. Through concrete happenings in my family and the movie I had watched, He tapped me back to my senses and reminded me "to let go of the past and keep moving forward." Life is more than the four walls of the classroom -- as a cliche-ic saying would argue.
UP would not be able to take idealism away from me. Hahaha. I would never take reality for granted. But then again, I won't let its pressures dictate who I should be.
I was tired. I became more hopeful though.
God had taken the blindfold from my eyes and let me see these little wonders.

KEEP MOVING FORWARD. :)

Let it go. Let it roll right off your shoulder. Don't you know the hardest part is over. Let it in. Let your clarity define you. In the end, we will only just remember how it feels.

Our lives are made in these small hours, these little wonders, these twists & turns of fate. Time falls away. But these small hours, these small hours still remain.

Let it slide. Let your troubles fall behind you. Let it shine. Until you feel it all around you. And I don't mind if it's me you need to turn to. We'll get by. It's the heart that really matters in the end.

All of my regret will wash away somehow but I cannot forget the way i feel right now. (Rob Thomas, Little Wonders)

Hippocratic Oath

I SWEAR by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius, and Health, and All-heal, and all the gods and goddesses, that, according to my ability and judgment, I will keep this Oath and this stipulation -- to reckon him who taught me this Art equally dear to me as my parents, to share my substance with him, and relieve his necessities if required; to look upon his offspring in the same footing as my own brothers, and to teach them this art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or stipulation; and that by precept, lecture, and every other mode of instruction, I will impart a knowledge of the Art to my own sons, and those of my teachers, and to disciples bound by a stipulation and oath according to the law of medicine, but to none others. I will follow that system of regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous. I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and in like manner I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion. With purity and with holiness I will pass my life and practice my Art. I will not cut persons laboring under the stone, but will leave this to be done by men who are practitioners of this work. Into whatever houses I enter, I will go into them for the benefit of the sick, and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and corruption; and, further from the seduction of females or males, of freemen and slaves. Whatever, in connection with my professional practice or not, in connection with it, I see or hear, in the life of men, which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret. While I continue to keep this Oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the art, respected by all men, in all times! But should I trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse be my lot!
