      <title>Starting Over (ETC Style!)</title>

      <description>This blog has been pretty inactive for quite a while now, and believe me, it's not because I don't find anything to write about anymore.

I get writing ideas. All the time, actually. I just forget all about it by the time I get home is all.

Anyway, I've somewhat decided that I'd be moving all of this sometime soon. I'm tired of this URL. In a sense, I guess I'd be &quot;starting over&quot;, but without the drama of that reality TV-soap opera show on ETC that somehow, I always watch to the end whenever I catch it while channel surfing. I do not watch it intentionally, believe me. 

So, to the ten... (more)</description>

Ang hindi naman kapatol-patol, huwag patulan.

Ang hindi kareact-react, huwag pansinin.

Pero hindi ko kaya eh.

Kailangan kong mag-react.

      <description>This is turning out to be stupidest vacation in my entire life.

Stupid. Stupid. Stoopid.

Kapag nanonood ako ng TV, iniisip ko, my gash, hindi pa ko tapos sa patho. Kapag nagiinternet ako, iniisip ko, hindi ko pa tapos basahin ang med. Kapag late ako nagigising, iniisip ko, ano ba, babasahin ko pa ang surg. Kapag naglalaro ako ng The Sims 2, iniisip, shet, paano na ang fch? yung pedia? yung evaluation sa med? yung precepts sa surg? at ang nakakapantindig balahibo na patho?

I haven't even been out of the house since Christmas (except for going to church, of course)! Hindi pa ko... (more)</description>

      <description>roni_bats once wrote in an article that if you want to start crying two days before someone actually dies, go and take up medicine.
Or something to that effect.
My version goes: if you want to be plagued by what-ifs and if-I-had-done-thats and should-I-haves and if-had-known-then-what-I-know-now, go ahead and become a medical student.
You've gone some of the way, but you aren't really there yet. You know stuff theoretically, but you don't know what to do with it yet in real life.
If I had known then that what my grandfather was experiencing during our last phone conversation was already... (more)</description>

      <title>My Only Math Teacher</title>

      <description> 
I used to hate math. A lot.
Credit that to a grade school teacher who, when she decides that you're a total dumb ass in Math, ignores you for the rest of the year (or maybe it's just my paranoid personality disorder talking).
And with that, I decided, since she labeled me so, I wasn't any good with math at all, and I did not try as hard as I guess I could have.
It was all the same for three years in high school; I did take math seriously. If I flunked an exam, I flunked. If I passed, I passed. Rarely did I even try to comprehend what the teacher was trying to teach about math.
But... (more)</description>

      <title>Great Sembreak Adventures Part I</title>

      <description>OK. Ito na po yung entry na pinramis ko tungkol sa aking &quot;great sembreak adventures&quot;.
As if naman great.
Nagmukha lang &quot;great&quot;, kasi normally, I would have spent my sembreak rotting at home in front of the TV, in front of the laptop, or sleeping.
--------------------
First off was the &quot;great 100 islands adventure&quot;.
Obvious naman na hindi ito yung salad dressing.
Anyhow, a few of my Olatutu tribemates + other classmates + me rode a bus to Alaminos, Pangasinan one early Monday morning. The ride was indecently early. According to my vacation standards, anyway :p
We reached Alaminos around... (more)</description>

      <title>Reflections of A Medical Student</title>

      <description>In our class in Psychiatry, we were required to conduct a complete psychiatric interview of a psychiatric patient confined at the PGH. We were also expected to present the diagnosis, along with a comprehensive plan of management.
Initially, I had my reservations, probably because of my limited and biased experiences. Studying various psychiatric disorders for a semester and the normal functioning of the mind the semester before that had not helped me any in preparation for dealing with real live patients. Besides, I still had 21 years of biases formed from thousands of hours of TV watching... (more)</description>

      <title>A Few Flawed Arguments About Love</title>
      <link>http://thecirceblahs.blogdrive.com/archive/46.html</link>

Just came back from Bicol a few hours ago.
Still too tired and sleepy to make a decent article, so I'll just be posting one regarding my &quot;sembreak adventures&quot; later, after I've had my beauty sleep.
Anyway, I'm gonna post a half-baked entry which I've written weeks ago to keep you occupied.
--------------------
First off, some thoughts about love. This is just too &quot;bothersome&quot; to pass up.
I just read an entry in a blog written by someone (you know who you are) about finding your ideal mate (or &quot;the one&quot;) and about settling for someone less than your &quot;the one&quot;.
Because you see, for me,... (more)</description>

      <title>The Hierarchy of the HiLiter</title>

      <description>I can't study...
...because my yellow highlighter has died on me...
... and National Bookstore is sooooo faaaaarrr aaawaaayyy.
--------------------
The Hierarchy of the HiLiter
1st Reading
Blue is for headings;
Green is for the facts/concepts/subheadings;
Yellow is for the text.
It has to be Faber-Castell. It won't work with anything else.
2nd Reading (a luxury nowadays)
It has to be red ballpen for emphasis/underline/double underline/circle/notes.
It has to be Faster to work.
And I have to be using a clipboard to hold the transcriptions.
I'm such an OC when it comes to cramming.</description>

It's been a while since I wrote a &quot;personal&quot; entry in this blog.
Like I said a few entries ago, I probably won't be writing anything new in a few months since I have just entered the sacred realm of 2nd year medical school which is known to be one heckuva of toxic ride.
I knew 2nd year would be hard, but I never knew it would be THIS hard.
We have around 2-3 exams per week + various other requirements (plates to do, lab exercises to complete, do research experiments which could last until the wee hours of the morning). It has come to a point where I don't care what kind of grade I get... (more)</description>
