Rants on My Posts

Understandably, in politics there will always be two sides of the coin. But others would just simply stay neutral. When I posted my rants about the Pintados/Sangyaw fiasco, my cousin Boom gave me a piece of his mind. I'll post it here. It is also a good way to show another side of the story. I guess he is more in the know since his dad works for the city government.

Boom said that Waray Buot's has lots of loopholes and lacks details.Citing " #4, if the writer of which did not even have a first hand info of the court proceedings i would understand the lack of knowledge" He then proceeded to ask me what a motion for inhibition is. I could google that one but I'd rather stick to the research I'm doing right now on muscles and their origins, insertions and action. On " #5, it wasn't because of the TRO that a special permit was released" His advice was doing an extensive research before telling others what really happened. Emma and I got a scuffle over this with Paul and his girlfriend too.

As my friend Jerahmeel said, we have already grown up. We are now starting to care about political issues. For sure, the Romualdez will not be getting my votes in the next election. Why? Because I'm from Burauen.

On Yumi and Ascof

Me and my usual carelessness. I should have known better and should have done the three checks before giving Yumi Ascof Lagundi. I should have checked the label and dosage while taking out the medicine, preparing it and then before administering it. She's just 3 years old and she should have been taking around 3ml of it but instead, for the past 3 days I gave her 8ml. Good thing that lagundi is all natural but the OD has given her a diarrhea. How can I make a crucial mistake on a child? We were always taught to be always careful in giving medications especially if they are children or the elderly.

Poor Yumi...I'm deeply sorry. Being a pediatrician is out of my list. I don't want to become one. I hate making crucial mistakes on innocent ones.

Unearthed Poems

I was looking through my old stuffs earlier this morning in the hopes of finding notes that can help me with biochemistry. I found a piece of yellow paper and it had a 1.0 mark on it (mind you I rarely get a 1.0).
I started reading it and I would like to share it with you. It was a poem I made many years back.




Everything's But A Dream


You and me, coy glances across the hall
A wink, a smile, a sigh...I slowly fall
A shiver down my spine, come embrace me
Enfold me in your arms and your body 
Our lips finding their way in the darkness
The smell of your perfume; male muskiness
Your hands slipping through the folds of my dress
I grope, giggle, bubble with giddiness
Through the moonlight your sweat is glistening
Wild, bonded, pumping, my heart is singing
Steady, slowly, stay, don't move. I'm in pain.
'Tis fleeting, a fugue. It is but a dream!
No! Let not this moment slip in vain..
We have to win this apple eating game!

Now that I read it with a fresh perspective, I find it too vivid and provocative. Simply put, I love it.
I don't think I write as well now. I miss that side of me.

First Day High!

Welcome Class of 2015!
Welcome future doctors!

When I decided to become a doctor, I was well advised by my aunt. I know that for the first four years medical books are going to be my best buddies. It has just been a week now but my eyes are already heavy from lack of sleep. In four years, I'll be a zombie and I'll eat your brains!

Thankfully, my friends lent me their books for without them I'll be so lost. The next three years will be a struggle. I need to buy my own books. The problem with borrowed books is that I can't make any marks on them. I have downloaded ebooks on my flash drive but I'm already legally blind. I hate reading from an LCD. It makes my eyes sting and my tendency is to scratch it. I have fears of completely losing my eyesight so I try not to stress them. They are my only pair.

I prefer fingering glossy papers and occasionally getting paper cuts. I love the crisp smell of newly pressed paper and even the muskiness of old ones. It's old school and nostalgic.

Orientation Turned To Introspection

I was expecting to be oriented to our curriculum today. Instead, our Dean talked about something else that has always interested me.

When a 70ish guy talks, shut your mouth and listen because they speak with wisdom. There is a line in the Bible that says " Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks." I believe this is what happened this morning. Our dean was very eager to share what he has been practicing and reaping all these years.

Let me type the points that I've managed to hear and remember along the way:

• Thinking+ Action+ Feelings = Result
• Sleep with only good thoughts in your mind.
• Do good. Good actions always begets good action.
• Write 6 things to accomplish each day and do it. This will make you more efficient. 

Expected class size is 70. That's big considering that previous classes(other than last year which was 57) was usually just 30 something. Most of my classmates are like me-nurses. This is another phenomenon. The demand for nurses has steadily declined these past few years. Getting a job whether here or abroad is cutthroat. You need to have the right connections and money. 

All of us in the class has a story tell. You know mine. What's theirs?

The World is a Rat Race!

I'm counting the days before school starts. Yes, I won't deny it I am excited! I'll be picking other people's brains(literally!) and racking mine! The rat race is on...
I've been a nurse and it taught me that I can still enrich myself. I hated being in a limbo. I was stuck between the world of patients and the world of doctors. Now I don't have to be a telegraph; relaying messages has never been my cup of tea.
I'm planning to change the header of this blog to "SURVING MED SCHOOL ON A SHOESTRING BUDGET". What do you think?
Thanks to Ivy for letting me borrow her first year med books. I'm definitely positively sure they will be a great help! Thank you so much! Til next year. =)
I'll still be working for rarejob. I'll be waiting for students while studying. I still have one more project to finish with Odesk-the ebook. I don't know when I can start it but the deadline is on June 6th. Pressure!!!These lazy bones are uninspired right now.
An exhibit is coming up in June and I don't have an artwork yet. I already made the sketches. I want to use watercolors. They are not messy and I love its effects but someone out there thinks acrylic is better.
I'll be at Robinsons Movie World this afternoon giving out free XMEN glitter tattoos to movie goers. This doesn't pay. It's just advertising. I just want the word out that I do body art and hey they can have me for their parties! So, I had my first ever business card printed out yesterday so hurrah to me! I'll be doling them out later to would-be and could-be clients.
Thank you Lord for all these rackets!!! They'll tide me over until the next drought!!!
