Sunrise after the darkest of nights
Friends who bring out the best in you
A love that makes you smile
Belief that anything is possible
Courage to finally do what you've been putting off
Time for yourself
Promises that are not broken
An answered prayer
A heart that forgives
A Christmas feeling all year round
A soul that heals
A life with no regrets
There can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles, you can achieve,
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe...

It's a surprise how everything's turning up (good) for me these days. We were at PCMC yday and my research paper on adult medulloblastoma won in the Descriptive Category of the PNA Research Forum. 
Personally, I do not think much of my paper, since it was done amidst the toxicity of q 3 day duties and problematic patients (diagnostic dilemmas as well as indigent ones with nary a peso to spare for their meds and diagnostics and operations)... teaching the students and learning myself. I was post duty on both department and PNA research contests, and it was also my grand rounds earlier in the week, that I couldn't prepare as much as I wanted. But God is so good and He gives me good things even though I haven't exactly been very good. Thanks Lord!
Now let me just revel in this fleeting moment of happiness

Until the next round of toxicity...
I decided to get some exercise today. I gained a lot during the board review and more so during the vacation. 
And I hoped to lose some inches to fit into the clothes I had tailored for my new job.
So I donned my comfiest sneakers and proceeded to get some exercise, which is to walk the mall! Haha! I was never the athletic/sporty type! 
Bought some things off my Baby’s Wishlist. And visited my dentist for an elastic change to blue. But there was a mall sale and there were too many people so my original half-day workout plan was cut short.
But in the course of my (short) wanderings, I found a very cute strawberry pendant. I’ve been wanting one ever since this:
I just luv everything Son Ye Jin-ish!
It's cold and raining. Got up for a fix of Swiss Miss hot chocolate. Yum! And just spent the entire afternoon buried under the sheets. Hmmm... Nice! ^_^
