GENESIS

This is my first time to make a blog. I’ve been planning to make one since the year has started but it took me this long to finally take the initial step. I’ve been reading a few blogs and I’m really amazed on how a single person’s experiences and insights can make such an impact on the other person reading it. There is this one friend of mine who has a blog and as I go through her  blog posts, I was really inspired and moved most especially when she talks about our professional life, about the hardships that we are experiencing in our work as well as wonderful learning that come with it . Those made me think. What if I make my own blog too? Will I be able to inspire others? Why not give it a try? There’s nothing to lose.

I entitled my blog “Cascades”. I thought of so many words but when I stumbled upon that word, I found it perfect. If you try to look for its meaning on the dictionary, one of its definitions goes this way, “something arranged or occurring in a series or in a succession of stages so that each stage derives from or acts upon the product of the preceding”. Since I am in the medical field, one perfect example is the coagulation pathway. The coagulation process entails a series of events wherein different coagulation factors are activated and act upon another in order to form blood clot. That is a vital process in our body system to promote hemostasis. I’m sure some of you are not really familiar with such things and perhaps having epistaxis now. So to make things simpler, I will correlate it with life. We live in this world with a purpose. We may have different ways of living but in general we all have one goal: “To have a meaningful life”. Let’s just say that the coagulation factors are our experiences. Each and every single thing that we experience is vital and has an influence on what we are to be. This may sound cliché, but everything happens for a reason. Random, complicated and countless as these experiences may seem, but these experiences will shape us into what we are destined to be. We experience something and learn from it. As a result, that learning will have an influence on our character and will definitely affect our thinking and dealing with the experiences that are yet to come. So the learning process goes on and on until we find the meaning of life and find that genuine satisfaction and joy of living.

So as I go on, I will try to share some of my experiences and insights in life. I hope that even in a small way, I will be able to inspire somebody the same way as others have inspired me.

I live an ordinary life but I love dealing with the spontaneity of circumstances. I dream big and hope for positive possibilities.
