ONE MORE MONTH!!!
I havent blogged as much as before because...well...nothing much is happening yet. HAHAHAHAHA
Just waiting for enrollment time at DLSHSI, and looking back on it now, I'm pretty happy with my decision. I took my mom and dad to go see the school and submit a few requirements for their scholarship program. It was really funny, and melted my heart when I saw my dad just walking around the campus in awe. He had no idea that the school was this pretty. Here's a link from a forum, just a few pictures of the school:
DLSHSI CAMPUS PHOTOS
My dad just came home from Dubai where he had been working for several years, and twice a year for two weeks each, he gets to come home and just be with family. Seeing him after 6 months just made me happy and sad at the same time since he would be extending his stay there just to pay for Med School. So by the time I graduate, he would be retiring. And the sad thing is, my parents might be retiring with no savings at all because of my studies. Its not like I wont be studying my ass off to make it all worthwhile, but it really pains me to see them both growing old so fast. They're approaching their 60s, and I always thought that by this time, they would just be relaxing, playing with their grandchildren or something, and not having to worry about anything; and that my sisters/brother and I will be the ones to take care of them.
Anyways, going back to the short tour around the school, my dad was pretty happy with everything, he was so excited about it all that he already checked the dorm located within the campus called DormBuilt. The prices were pretty steep so I told him that we would just check Villa Nicasia ( a village of dorms located right beside the school).
My dad went door to door, talking to the other students about the best dorm in the area, it was really sweet and funny because all the students had this look like *idk, you're creepy man*, and when they saw that I was right behind my dad, with little sister in tow, they eased up and pointed me towards several other dorms.
Well, after two hours in the scorching heat, we finally did find the perfect dorm. The price was a bit steep, but justifiable enough because it was biiiig. My parents told me to just rent a single room because things will be a lot harder if I had someone else in the room with me. You know, annoying people, people who'd mess with your stuff, etc. In mom's words, "mahirap pakisamahan". At least, this room was all mine, own toilet, fully furnished, just needed a new coat of paint and a little cleaning up, but it was all good. I think the room was about 30sqm or bigger, so, not bad at all. You just had to pay additional for water (php100), and electricity. If you wanted internet access, you just had to add Php300, and cable was at Php50.
Well, I just hope that I get the full scholarship so that my dad wouldnt have to worry about all the expenses, because, after some computations of the expenses, for my first year in med, they would actually be spending about Php300,000+. Seriously??
Please Lord, please let me get this scholarship. T_T
