Kudos to the family doctor

Amidst all the bad news that have been coming out lately, atlast something good has arrived. It was one of those ordinary nights last week, I slept early as usual. By 12 oclock midnight, i was awaken by the ringing of my phone. After two rings... I opened my eyes and wondered who the hell will call me in these hours. Then I took my phone and saw the name of my sister flashing in the screen.

Hello
Tho, kttpos lang ng exam, nakapas ako.
Ow, thats good, tpos na exam nyo, atlast. Kelan pa natapos.
Kanina lang lumabas ang results.
What results!, akala ko kttpos lang tapos may results na.
Hindi, lumabas na ang results and nakapass ako, ano ka ba bangag.
Huh, you mean nakapass as in pasado?
Oo!

I can hardly explain what I felt the moment I realized what she was talking about. It was pure happiness and excitement. No, somthing beyond that . Something that I cannot put into words. You cant blame me, You would feel the same when your sister has just broken the news to you that she just passed the MEdical Board Exam! Jeez man, thats the medical board exam were talking about. The last gate towards the medical kingdom. And now, she has just crossed that. She is now a certified Doctor.

Indeed, what a great feeling it was. If I feel this elated, I can only imagine what my parents felt. After spending a lot of of money, After absorbing all the headaches and all the heartaches, the failures, finally they have tasted the fruits of their labor. I wish I was there when they first heard the news to witness their reaction; to witness their joy and excitment. If I was happy for my sister, I was ecstatic for my parents. They deserve this news more than anyone else.

Its been a week now since this thing happened. My sister is now in our house waiting for Mar 21, the big day. They are going to take oath on that day. I dont know her plans but whatever it is, I'm sure she will have a bright future ahead.

After we talked that night, I closed my eyes and went back to sleep...

Ayla, nakapass ako...
Huh, what are you talking about...
I just passed the bar exam, you're now talking to atty badr salendab,
What....

Then I heard my phone ring again but this time there was no call. It was just my 5:30 am
alarm. I opened my eyes and went straight to the bathroom. It was just a dream. For now...

The unfair FAIR

Last night, we went to the UP fair. Didnt go well, we havent been an hour there yet when she started complaining about her headache. We decided to go home. We went home at around 10:30.
While we were walking towards her dorm, she apologized for spoiling the night. Then, I told her no problemo, it was ok. Then I gave her the "it's ok" look.
It was a stone cold lie. Something I didnt want to do. It wasnt ok. THe moment she started complaining about her headache, i knew that the night would not go as planned.
It was not ok, I was in fact very dissapointed.
But I understand her. I maybe pissed of. But I was pissed of at the situation; not at her. Never at her. What can I do, her health is much much more important to me than the UP fair. Id rather sacrifice a night of fun for her rest that she very much needed. It was a stone cold lie. something bad. But something necessary as well. I dont want to make her feel guilty. I dont want to add more pain.
COuld have come back actually. Pinsan rauf and a lot of brods are waiting for me. could have but chose not to. Went there thinking that I would enjoy the night only with her. and with her not around, the night lost its purpose. So whats the pont?
Went straight home, took a bath and slept.

All is fair in UP fair...

Yah Right!!!
