"If God doesn't build the house the builders only build shacks. If God doesn't guard the city, the night watchman might as well nap. It's useless to rise early and go to bed late, and work your worried fingers to the bone. Don't you know He enjoys giving rest to those He loves?"
- Psalm 127:1-2 (Message Remix Bible)

You're carrying way too much suitcases, anak. No wonder you're tired. I prepared for you a beautiful sunset kanina para aliwin ka but you were too tired to notice. I sent someone to talk to you, para makita nila kung anong meron tayo...but you were too busy to care.
I've always carried them with me, Ama. I've grown accustomed with my suitcases.
You don't need them, anak. They're only slowing you down. I'll carry them for you. I am able.
But...
You are carrying burdens you were never meant to bear. Set those down, anak. I want to use you, you know. But how can I when you're exhausted? I have a great race for you to run.
:) Ama, talaga. *hugs*
For the sake of those you love, travel light.For the sake of the God you serve, travel light.
For the sake of your own joy, travel light.

Are you a guy or a girl? I think I quite like some of your posts Winter :) I've taken some excerpts if you don't mind.

Haha I'm 20 from singapore. Sorta pre-med too. i'm getting a diploma in molecular biotechnology. but i'm intending to do medicine. its gonna be expensive though. :) is medicine hard?
molecular biotechnology? wow. :)you must be very smart. my pre-med's biology. you got that right...medicine's really expensive :( and soooo hard. like sometimes we just get two hours of sleep studying for a quiz (it's not even an exam yet) and when we take the quiz we take it as if we didn't study! just imagine what our grades would be if we didn't study! :)plus we have to do patient histories, research, projects, oral exams and practicals, reports, extra curricular activities... but you know what, even if it's really hard and stressful...i enjoy it. because i really want to become a doctor. i believe that's really important...you have to love whatever you're doing so no matter how hard it gets you'll never give it up. :) we have a blog you can check out. slumedicine.blogspot.com God bless you on your endeavor! :)
