My
day started as if I’m in a different environment. For just one day, I tried to forget that I’m
a medical student. Today, I came to UP
med feeling a different sense of confidence.
For just a day, I broke away from the drab of the white uniform and went
along with my artistic, innovative costumes for today’s performance. Yes, for just this time. I became someone else.

What
was funny about being someone else is that I seemed to like the identity. With no one knowing me except myself and the
scriptwriter, I entered a new world of the unknown. I left every captivated audience in awe,
guessing every act as it came to happen before their eyes. I had my choice of reaction, making every
move a major performance and every sentence, a cliché. There’s no point in explaining it.
I
don’t have control. I had my life in
paper, and my face in film. I had my
mind rolled into one piece of machine that will tell me when to eat and when to
sleep. Every act was pre-shot. Decisions were made first hand and everything
else were but memorized verses from the written work.
How
simple life would have been. Sometimes,
I’d like to believe that the world is really a stage, and people are merely
actors in this great theatrical production we call life.
I
sometimes wish that life is a pre-paid card.
All you have to do is call to know when you’ll run out of credits. And if you’d like to continue, you can load
another one anytime. How simple life
would have been, if choices were as uncomplicated as memorization or putting on
a mask without any brain work needed to even think of an identity. Pre-planned, pre-written, pre-made that makes
showbiz a bliss.
For
once, I was allowed to forget thinking and allow another entity to move me the
way he chose to be.
Nope. I’m not in control.
Yup. I’m proud of it.
