WHAT CAREER?

Thoughts lately got me to wonder things that were already considered significant for my age. It was about "What do you want to do when you grow up?" but it was nearly as to "What will I do after I graduate?" I came to this list of interests, though some of these are just hobbies but still I'm curious if I should give them a try probably end up with a career out of it. I'm still questioning on which of them should be prioritized cause I'm a bit stuck on the verge of wanting them all :)

The List!
1. Photography
2. Business
3. Optometry Specialization
3.a Geriatric
3.b Low Vision or
3.c Sports Vision or Vision Training

Photography. I know I may not be as good as those seen on magazines or the ones featured on TV but I really do appreciate capturing reality and preserving its beauty (pero I do prefer film photography now, I see digital photography as too much image clarity and full of editing; it is a good thing but its not as great as film that takes it time to develop). I still don't know if I should pursue this after I graduate; no idea if this will just be a hobby for me or maybe end up as my career. Who knows? Here are samples of my recent takes!

I do have frustrations on my love for food. I really want to eat scrumptious delicacies 24/7 but my body doesn't seem to cooperate with it and pretty much giving me flabby bilbils and braso hahaha! but this doesn't stop me from exploring different plates of heaven out there! Here are some of my takes! [P.S. I started my love for Food Photography during my stay in Cebu 2009.]

Mild Hot Wings at Kul Kitchen, Cebu (The Best Chicken Wings  I ever had!)

Appetizer at Candy's CDO, Cheese and Spinach Dip! 

Baby Back Ribs at Candy's CDO

Medium Rare Beef Steak at Candy's CDO

Business. The only experience I have on business is what I usually see and do for my mom with our LJCE Canteen both at Mintal and Toril and with our LJCE Pharmacy at Lanang. It isn't much but I saw the advantages of having your own business and being your own boss. I have no clue yet on what business to open and when or where but I know that someday if I'm given the chance, I'll have mom to guide and direct me. Not a big worry, I assume!

Optometry Specialization. There is no problem in specializing Optometry but TIME is in demand. I'm confused to which among the three is best to pursue and if time and God's will would allow me to do it. Just hoping and praying! Fingers crossed! :)

superficial yet steady..

it ended. what did? --midterms week. basically, it was my first semester back in Davao Doctors College, after spending 2 years of the same course in Cebu Doctors University. (i so missed my life there!) so comparing my Cebu-self to my Davao life. it clearly came to my senses that both my life here and there were complete opposites. i could start off by saying i have been quite unsatisfied with both its outcome. not all the time but as of today, after taking that geriatric optometry midterm exam, i knew that it was needed to be analyzed. such a worrier i am!

after several losses and difficulties in Cebu, i came to accept that I couldn't handle all the pressures in CDU plus all the errands that I have to do by myself. when I came back to DDC, i forgot how lax it is here and how sometimes it makes me realize on how lucky my friends are at CDU for having such benefits compared to us here (school-wise). but then I can't be too negative about being relaxed here in DDC cause I have a lot of extra time for myself and now that there would be times that i would be at loss on what to do next because i'm just too bored here. and I came to the conclusion that I can't really find my balance between the two. CDUvsDDC.

so, what do you think my reason is for sharing this and in relating it to my midterm exams week?

this may be caused by my unstable feeling over-all from school and family; with time and freedom, happiness and unfulfillment. i know that often times, i could be a little bit full of myself and this may have no help cause my mood and my studies are what's affected here. there's this attitude of mine that I just couldn't care on what my grades are as long as i'm enjoying and am happy at the moment. but i always end up feeling bad about it. sudden change of mood. i guess. i just haven't placed myself on the midst of it all. if i were still placed in CDU, i may not be at the top of all but i sure as heaven that i am happy and free there. back here, i may have be at the top a number of times but i am clearly not steadily happy here in terms of spending my time with unnecessary stuff, exclusive of family stuff though.

you get to balance yourself around me and i may still be at war with everything. you be the judge! ;)
