how to live a happier and healthier life

What is life? Life as we all know is the existence of living things such as plants and animals thus include human beings. By the time human is born, he/she is entitled to have a life of its own, a life to be nurtured. How does human do that? Each human being has its own eccentricity, and may live life the way they want it to be; living a happier and healthier life.

Living a happy life is like living a good, meaningful, and abundant life. It means life has everything to offer, it has full of surprises. Sometimes there are good and bad, ups and down, but still we want to experience great pleasures in the world. Happiness comes in our minds in lieu with pleasures, but thus pleasures give us happiness? Happiness is hard to define but most people know whether they’re happy or not.  Each person has its own distinctiveness concerning happiness. To be happy, one must need to be able to make their own choices. Everybody‘s life has different flaws and innumerable facets. In order to exist happily, we need to make wise decisions and good choices. This includes balancing between the flaws and facets in your life.

We must understand that wealth, material possessions is not the basis of a happy and healthy life. It is even wrong to feel anguish to people having a lot of money and they are better off than who don’t have it. In fact, these people are even discontented and unhappy with what they have.

Basically, it means that the key to happiness is a healthy life. In the other hand, health is related to happiness. From the adage itself, “Health is Wealth”, we need to value our health in order to live an abundant life. It requires healthy diet, proper exercise and enough sleep. Here are the tips on how to live a happier, healthier and enjoyable life:

• Understand what it is that makes you happy. Happiness may vary in each individual, so you do not have to compare to others if your desires are attain or not.

·         Enjoy time with your family. You will feel more secure and strong.

You’ll embrace true happiness from it and will have the strength to face the different challenges in life.

NMAT FAQ

I’m guessing this post would be helpful to a lot of aspiring doctors in the Philippines. If you are contemplating of going into med school, here are a few stuff you need to know: (Note that I am a prospective med student myself, and these information are what I have gathered first hand–thus far that is)
A. BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN
This would be the most important pointer I could give anyone. Signing up for med school ambivalent is no gift to your parents or to yourself. ONLY fill out that application once you are absolutely sure that you want to study for another five years (after finishing up you pre med), and endure the rigorous education and training required of a doctor. It is no secret that med education in the Philippines dehydrates pockets, wallets, bank accounts and piggy banks.
B. RESEARCH
Most of the data I know came from researching, reading forums, and more reading. As I have I said before, it is better to go through this head on, than half blind. Know what you are getting yourself into. Doctors in the Philippines do not really earn gazillions in one sitting. Why would a lot of them study Nursing instead? Some even say that being a doctor is almost an act of charity. Know the real face of medicine in the Philippines, then decide with outmost rationality.
The website I have found most helpful would be:
Pinoy MD (Read their forums)
C. BE PREPARED
Medicine is not just a course you apply for then play handy dandy afterward. Unless you are intelligent enough to get into INTARMED (UP’s Medicine program which shortens the normal length of med education by two years), then you must know that to enter medicine, you must pass the National Medical Admission Test (NMAT) after finishing your pre med course of four years. Most reputable med schools require a cut off percentile–which many place at 90. Thus you cannot just be accepted immediately. Also, a lot schools place importance on your grades. A hefty load of singkos won’t bid well for you.
The NMAT is given every April and December. So if you really want to get a headstart, take it around April (of the preceeding year you are planning to enroll). Also most med schools stop accepting applications by January. If you are procrastinating like me, you can try FEU-NRMF and ST. LUKE’S, since they are the only ones who accept ‘to follow’ NMAT results. Note however that your application would be second priority since you would be handing in you result late (I will be taking my NMAT this April–same year I am trying to apply). You must still hand all the requirements by January though, to ensure that you will be slated for the upcoming school year. UP College of Medicine only accepts NMAT results one year from the upcoming school year. Which means that if you are graduating, you must have taken it in your third year.
