TO MARECA

Service from people like me does not consist of just listening to man's ailments and writing down prescriptions for them.
I want to make the things that they prescribe.

I just don't want to diagnose, I want to discover the deeper molecular or chemical causes of that diagnosis.

THERE IS NO VOCATION THAT IS LESSER THAN THE OTHER VOCATIONS AVAILABLE IN TERMS OF SERVING OTHERS. It is the intensity and dedication that we have towards that vocation that matters.

So don't make that "you are an idiot" face when I'm talking about taking the road less traveled.

Besides, I was not talking to you then, I was talking to my dad(I am really tempted to add a profane word to emphasize my spite but never mind).


TO MAMA AND PAPA

I have not just made this decision in a drop of a hat. I have thought of this for a long time now, and I have made sure not to overlook things.

I have consulted with all sorts of people, read a lot of material, and contemplated a lot about them. I realized that this is what I want for myself. Something that I actually want, not just some decision I arrived at because of motives other than what I see myself doing in the future.

I understand your disappointment, but please trust my decision.

I really, really, really try my very best to bring you all you want and more...just give me your trust in this.


TO AMIEL

Are you going down the path I used to take?

If you are, then that's good. Your patients can be a good source of free tissue samples (HAHA >:)).

Think it through, and good luck.

I love you all for all that you are---your bitchiness, support, doubt and love.
