Ama and Dreams

Two and a half years ago my grandfather, Ama, died in his Amadeo home. I wasn't there when he went. I was busy with my internship stint at UP-PGH. But I cut my shift as soon as I learnt of this. He died of lung cancer. I remember how death didn't really sink in until I saw his coffin being carried to the house.

Since the start of my exposure to clinical practice in PGH, I knew I wanted to be involved in curing people with cancer. I don't know what lies ahead for sure, but I am ardently praying that the dreams that have been put in my heart will come into realization. I just got the results, and I know it's just the tip of the iceberg. I might be "one" after all, I'm hoping for the best.

Of Prism

Can I just say. I love Katy Perry's album Prism. I put these on repeat, particularly:

1. Roar – kinda can relate to this. I won't expound but I felt this way at one point.
   
2. Unconditionally – makes one feel optimistic and excited about falling in love
   
3. International Smile – I don't quite get the message of this, but kinda makes me feel empowered as a woman (go figure)
   
4. Ghost – I don't really put this one on repeat* but it really makes sense, really happens in real life
   
5. Love Me – makes you remember how KP is also just a person, and she feels insecurities like the rest of us
   
6. Double Rainbow – similar to unconditionally, it makes one feel optimistic about the big bright future
   
7. By the Grace of God – she goes back to her roots, basically He is where we get our courage – no matter how deplorable the situation might seem
   
8. It Takes Two – I like the beat on this one. Haha. Reminds me of my bassist days. Oh and if you think the song is about two people in love, you're wrong. The song is actually about a break-up. Yes. There are two sides to every story.
   

One more thing I am thinking about right now is how I love KP's lips on the Unconditionally video. Chanel Velvet Allure, I bet.
