Why is it that when people come to me for advice, i'm able to give it.
But when i need to give myself a talking to, i have nothing to say.
Or siguro mas matigas lang ung ulo ko pag ung sarili ko ang ngsasabi saken kung anong dapat kong gawin.
Like now. I should be studying.
Feb 9 na bala ang exam namon!
Ay ambotah.
Feb na.
My birthday looms....
Loving it!
I'll be quarter of a century and one! Bring it on! :)

schiz, inlab at tsokolate
One: Schizophrenia (or kung sa vernacular ay baliw or buang) is believed to be due to too much dopamine in the brain.
Two: In people who are "in love", scientists have found that there is an increase of dopamine production in the brain.
Three: Eating chocolates also increases dopamine production in the brain.
Conclusions:
One: Nakakabuang ang kumain ng chocolates?
Two: Pag "in love" ka, para ka ring buang. Panalo... Hahaha!
Three: Kumain ka na lng ng chocolates kung gusto mo ma-feel ang ma-"in love". Hahahaha!
Four: Kung Schiz ka, wag ka na kumain ng chocolates dahil baka lumala ka pa?
Five: Ang mga inlab, laging binibigyan ng tsokolate, kaya lalong nagiging irrational ang behavior dahil lalo silang nabubuang...
Ano pa? Hahaha....

there's this camp
There's this camp I want to attend on April 4-10, 2009. It will be held in Puerto Galera, Mindoro.
It's called ECHOcamp.
I was the first and only paying camper during the first EchoCamp in Galera in the summer of 2003. 2003 nga ba yon? Sa Echo, I learned to sleep in a hammock between trees, under the stars and the sky. That was where i first climbed a coconut tree... and the first time i scaled a rock face. I learned to ride a mountain bike down a slope. It was in Echo that I gave my desire to be a doctor to the Lord. And he purified it, and he blessed it.
That was so many years ago. And ngayon, I heard that there's going to be another Echo in Galera during the Holy Week. I want to go.... because i'm about to become a doctor na... And there's a symmetry to my starting and ending my medschool life with Echo....
Pray for me, will you? I really want to go.... And encounter the Lord again while hanging between sea and sky, in and on the water, and even when watching the tide come in.
Kahit di na ko mag-grad ball ok lang.... Gusto ko mag-echo camp... :)

a taste of the psych ward
Haaay... i'm now rotating at the Psych Department. We'll be here for two weeks. We started nung January 16 and we'll be here until the 31st. Gudlak naman saken diba! Enjoy sya, in a really weird way. If you don't let their stories get to you. But it's also sad in a way, because you hear so many stories... and you wish you could help more....
So here's a taste of the Psych Department here in West Vi Med Center:
"....."
"ikaw, kamusta matyag mo doc?"
"doc, kanami sang dimples mo ah"
"do you want a kiss?"
"do you know the world without love?"
"hadlok ka no? basi nahadlok ka lang."
"i love you"
"good morning/good afternoon/goodnight doc"
"indi pa man alas diyes doc, aga pa man"
"oo doc, matulog na ko. babye"
"pano magkapareho ang apple at ang orange? ang isa apple... ang isa orange!"
"wala ka lang guid kahulat... dali man lang to"
"pangayo pa chocolates"
"mapuli nako"
"doc, san-o pa ko di mapuli man? gainom man ko sang mga bulong ko"
"you promised me a ring, a watch and eyeglasses. now i still don't have a ring, a watch and no eyeglasses."
"do you want a ring?"
"kagwapa man sa imo doc. daw espanyol ka... ang sa mga telenovela bala..."
"this is the worst hospital! you are the worst interns! she is the worst resident! what kind of service is this?! this is the worst!"
"may migo ka na doc?"
"depressed ako.... siguro kung may miga na ko indi na ko ma-depress noh?"
"doc, may sex appeal ba ko?"
"i'm not finished talking to you! look at me! i'm still talking to you!!!"
"mga bastos!"
Nakakatuwa... nakakatakot.... kakaiba sila lahat. :)

sakit sa ulo
minsan, mali lang talaga ang timing...
at madalas, hindi mo lang talaga alam...
at sa mga ganitong panahon, kelangan ko ng wisdom ng mga ate at kuya... dahil hindi ko nga alam...
panahon nanaman para sa soul-searching... sa heart-searching... sa Word-searching. watching and praying and listening... and another laying down of the will to accept the will of the Father...
lagi...lagi, kelangan ko talaga and Panginoon... lagi...

episode
I had a mini-break down on the last day of the year 2008. Hihi...
Nakaupo lang ako sa Pedia Ward, gumagawa ng papers ko. Bumalik lang ako kahit hindi ko Duty dahil magshi-shift out na kami the next day so i had to endorse my patients and do the admitting notes nung mga di ko pa nagawan.... anyway, i was just sitting there, listening to music, talking to manong tons nung naiyak na lang ako. I felt so bereft. Ewan ko kung bakit un ang feeling ko... basta.... ganun... at iyak ako ng iyak... for about 15 minutes ba yun? Basta.... natapos lang din naman sya. Tapos paiyak-iyak na lng ng konti everytime someone talks to me. Basta, ambigat ng feeling ko during those few minutes. Sabi ko na e, papakunsulta nako sa mga Residents namin when i rotate in Psych in two weeks. Haha. :)
Last time this happened was in Manila nung November, sa bahay nila Thea. Pero sila Mariel lang ung nakapansin kase nasa gilid lang ako nun. Naiyak lang ako dahil pagod na pagod nako at di ko alam kung bat ako umiiyak. Siguro nga dahil pagod lang ako.

student-budget-friendly grad gift ideas
Dahil sabi ni Weng gumawa daw ako. :)
1. Dangling earrings. Not the circular ones kase bilog na ung mukha ko so di na bagay ang bilog din. Hehe. I lost my wooden outline-of-butterflies na dangling earrings.... waaaaah.....
2. Chokers. Simple lang na pendant. the thinner the choker string, the better.
3. Books.
4. Silver earrings na hindi dangling.
5. Original VCD.
Choose from these, hehe: 27 Dresses; Italian Job; Oceans 11, 12 and 13; Enchanted; Ella Enchanted; Alvin and the Chipmunks; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Serendipity; Rescuers Down Under; Hunchback of Notre Dame; Beauty and the Beast; Tarzan; 13 Going On 30; Freaky Friday; The Color Purple; Scent of a Woman; Finding Neverland; Pirates of the Caribbean; Horton Hears a Who; Take the Lead; Ever After; or ask me na lng kung meron nako nung gusto nyong mapanood ko. :)
6. anything with cats on it. Hehe.
7. piano piece ng Somewhere in Time. Kahit photocopy lang.
8. Multicolored ankle socks.
9. Lollipops.
10. A picture or drawing/painting of the moon. Or kahit anong view. Or bagay na may butterflies. Or tubig.
MAraming Salamat!
