I have not been a believer of murphy's law. Until last night. everything that can go wrong, actually went wrong. I'm just glad it's over. *sigh* on more happy news, derma is over and I learned a lot :) Next week we will start with anesth, and then radio (dun dun dun) which will eventually help in my decisions in later life. and then we'll have our management and ill be able to visit and see davao once again. and then there's ROR and elective and exams! and summer and clerkship. oh joy. :)

as quoted from John Green's The Fault in Our Stars. It's a lesson that is a good reminder whenever I'm feeling like being my spoiled brat self and a lesson I wish to share to people who keep on complaining about the "harshness' of life. In Filipino, sabi nga ni Bea Alonzo sa The Mistress, "Hindi lahat ng gusto mo, makukuha mo." I was having a difficult night last night, the stress of an upcoming event, the fear that it won't be as successful as what we hoped it would be and the annoying thought that some people have to be bugged about their responsibilities really gave me such bad mood. I just want Friday to be over. And with my state of mind last night, I opted to not blog for it will only reek of bitterness, anger and bad vibes. And today, after 2 movies, a good night sleep, 3 TV series episodes, a home-made lunch and my favorite Sunday merienda, I am ready to share my last week experience with our most recent module, ICC in ORL. ORL which m...

We just finished our ICC module in ophtha last week. and it was the first super benign module that we had since june. with the emphasis on super since ICC is really a benign year relatively. In this module, I learned a lot about the eye, not as much as what we were supposed to learn last year, but enough of what i need for my practice sooner or later. I also learned a lot about my eye. You see, I have ambylopia or what is commonly known as the lazy eye. the reason for my right eye being lazy is that my two eyes vary in their grades and my dominant left eye functioned well  thus dubbing my eye condition as anisometric ambylopia. I started using glasses when I was 3 years old, I remember always being at the ophthalmologist and fearing the snellen chart as I grow older. I have in my subconscious the words refract and prisms which may have been done to me during my early childhood years. I remember there was one time that I cannot read my exam test paper and I have to rely on my cl...

i am usually an assertive person. I know what I want (most of the time) or atleast, when I know what I want, I do what needs to be done to get it. But sometimes, being assertive can get tiring. or there are really just days, when I just wanted to stop talking for a while and let the world take its natural course. today was one of those days when I decided to supress my demanding self and just keep quiet. and i had such a sad realization. 'In a world where you don't assert yourself, selfish people take advantage of your meekness'. It's both annoying and sad. And I can't imagine letting other people get what they want out of the expense of people who keep quiet. And I can't imagine myself keeping quiet especially  if I know that I dont get what I deserve. I guess I was just  tired today. Nonetheless, such would not happen again.

Now off to Malaysia!:) December 28: Genting, Malaysia rode a coach/bus to Malaysia, for about 8 hours. Ansarap matulog. hehe.  hello First World Hotel!:) largest hotel with about 6000+ rooms. pero walang wifi. haha.  Lunch :)   We went out to see the Genting Theme Park, pero since maulan, at mafog we opted not to go inside. Besides, we've been to Universal, dont think we need any more rides :p Although, i saw a nice attraction i would love to try :p maybe next time :)) tried SnowWorld instead. Ang LAMIG lang. and Genting is already so cold. :s brother and I tried the haunted adventure and Ripley's believe it or not. Pinaiyak ako ng isang indiano sa haunted adventure pero sayang yung iniyak ko. korni. Narealize ko after how Filipinos are better in making haunted houses. and I really really really don't like haunted houses. at all. pasakayin mo na ako sa rollercoaster na nag-360. wag lang talaga sa haunted house. iiyak ako...

Now this part of the blog is the happiest. *more party poppers* because in this entry I will be writing and sharing pictures of our Singapore-Malaysia Trip :) Christmas was different because we did not celebrate it at home in the province. No midnight mass with early seat reservation to be able to watch the panuluyan. No noche buena with lolo and tito and tita. Nonetheless, it was a happy if not the happiest Christmas, because we were all together. :) I think I made a blog about this a few years ago, on how much Christmas traditions change every year. But what really matters most is that we are always together on such special day :) December 24: Flight to Singapore We had a Christmas Eve flight. At first I thought, it was such a loser idea to have a flight where when 12 midnight strikes, we will be up in the air. The only consolation I had was hoping to see Santa and his reindeers while on flight. kidding. But it was not as bad as i thought. Upon take off, I was able to see sta...
