Reminded.

March 9th, 2010: 

The day that could have changed my life forever.
What I thought was going to be a normal day, turned out to be a life changing event that impacted so many people along the way. 

I remember that day so vividly before I went to the gym. Woke up around 10 to study for my NCLEX, the quarter was winding down. 1 or 2 more weeks left and it was a free day for me. Made myself a smoothie and drank that infamous "detox tea". Headed out to the gym, and the rest was history. 

When adversity hit in your life, that's when you know who will be there and who won't. Who will go to battle with you when the times are tough and who will fade into the background. I am still so thankful to this day for all of you who prayed, visited, facebook'd, etc...you all are the reason life is worth living for. 

I could never ask for a better family. Mom, Dad, Kuya & Jenny. They brought me through it, even if I was stubborn and hard to deal with, they were there. 

*sigh*
The point of this blog is this. Life can change in a split second. That famous saying "YOLO", is so true. I am reminded that God gave me a second chance to be something for Him. To make an impact on the world. Some wrote on my facebook: "Russy wanted to make a difference in the world..." to me if there was one thing I want people to say when I die, is that...I tried to make a change. 

My goals are to bring fitness/health, music and the things that I had before I started my career...back. I love helping patients, and being a nurse is a wonderful feeling. A feeling that I am doing something for someone. But God gave me a voice and if I don't use it for Him, it'll all go away. 

Let it be that this is a new journey in my life. March 9th, 2010 will always be remembered as the day that changed my life. A reminder that I life is short, live it with meaning. Live it with the hope to change a life, change the world, make a difference. 

Love, 
Russy
