Years passed and like a farm land that triumphed the passing of a devastating typhoon, that had grown richer and greener, the little boy is now a young man, back on his feet and finally savoring his rainbow after the storm.


Despite being orphaned, he fought life with full force and grabbed it with full control. He grew up with strong intellectual disposition and found ways to live his life with an eager desire to prove that he could make his own destiny and that our strong belief of associating good fortune with blessings from heaven is but something that's not even capable of being proven.

Despite his impoverished circumstance, he was able to top a University Scholarship by his everyday camping in Libraries and peeking in school windows where he eagerly took notes of the lessons and almost easily memorized the academic contents of all known subjects.


His desire to succeed overpowers his lack of resources. Mind over matter as what most would say. "What we think, we become", is what the famous quote say about him.


This is his first day in the top ranked and famous University in the land. Quiet as he is, he sat timidly amidst the atrocious mob of students, bragging about their latest gadgets and branded shirts, where as his is just a yellowish t-shirt faded by years of usage and rugged pants sewn to fit his slim thighs. He might not fit this group of B.S. Biology students but when his professor started to catch their attention by asking why they were in his class, his answer proved that beyond his poverty stricken image lies a powerful spirit oozing with intellect.


"Sir, I am here, not just because of what most my classmates might dream of, not just becoming a famous and successful Doctor, but because I want to pursue a mission; A mission that my mom could have benefited from. I want to save lives! I could have failed in saving my mom's life, and this might already be too late as her physical being is no longer in existence, but her hopes of me saving others' lives still remain intact. That's why I am here, sir. I am here to learn from you, how to save lives."

And silence enveloped the previously noisy air

And silence enveloped the previously noisy air. All his classmates were staring at him in great awe. His professor in Basic Human Biology was slowly closing his mouth and in a few seconds started to utter his amazement:


"Thank you, young man! That's very witty! Very witty indeed!"


He unintentionally had made a strong first impression. His struggles and suffering lead him to become a strongheaded individual he is now. In search of the truth. Seeking to gain more knowledge in Science. In unravelling what would save lives. 


Would it be him, fate or God?


His browse bumped at each other just by the thought of it.


"Of course, saving lives always depends upon either the doctor or his fate/circumstance.. nothing else. Nothing in between. There's not a need to create an imaginary entity to add in the equation, for the equation is already complete. Period!", He mumbled to himself. Staring fiercely on the whiteboard, and with the strong desire to find the answers to his subconscious questions. In search of the truth.  

The concept of 'God' and all the things in between...Tahanan ng mga kuwento. Tumuklas ngayon
