pain

defined as an upleasant sensory and emotional experience.

we just finished our anesthesia module last week and we are off to our last 4 modules, relatively last 2 months till the happy year called ICC will be over.

thinking about the compre exam and the Grand OSCE give me chills. but this year is definitely the year where I learned the most, I just hope everything would get to stick when I would need it the most next year and the year after :)

Last few days of the week I also experienced pain from muscle strain from severe work out leading to basically functional impairment. which led me to think how much I used to hate any form of physical activity. how I am the least physical person in our family and that it would really take a lot of effort and self discipline on my part to be able to join my parents and my brother in jogging. that it really amazes me how much I've changed and really valued exercise, since I can do it on my own without anyone asking me to do it.

with that realization, i was also enlightened how much i lack upper body strength and how sad I was after trying to really work it out. rationalization aside, (yes i did rationalize a lot the past days :p), i think circuit training is not yet for me. so i will go back to jogging :D

we will be having radio for the next two weeks. A rotation that will help me decide if this is a worthy career path to choose. all the luck!

The Preparation.

How do you put 100 days of preparation, 4 days of examination and 3 days of waiting in one blog entry? You can’t. Haha. So I’m making this a 3 part entry. That very long hiatus from writing and this heart full of emotions had led me craving to write my heart out. So indulge me. I don’t think I would be able to encapsulate all the emotions in that one of a kind journey which led me to where I am today. But I would still try because having that experience is something that I would love to look back to (definitely not do again) but something that I would like to read about when I feel like strolling down my memory lane. It started the day after the review center (Topnotch medical board prep) orientation where we were welcomed with a wake-up call, the board examination is about three months away - 106 days to be exact. Will it be enough? Probably. And then came the diagnostic exams where in there was really the doubt of whether it will be enough.  Parang hindi . But it was...

Life Thoughts - Life and Thoughts.

And just like that, we are married! The past few months have been heart-very-light-kind-of-nice. <3 It feels actually weird to have someone with you 24/7 at home (and not the hospital). And nope, I'm not complaining.  As usual, I've been wanting to write but not finding any inspiration until today.  I've been reflecting, more of day dreaming, while reviewing for the board exam and I just want to write down some, well, thoughts.  I grew up in an environment where there are things that should never be talked about, just because you don't want to make things worse. And it did not make things worse, but it did not make them better as well. I learned that words can make or break someone. And that if you do not have anything nice to say, it was better to shut up. And because if you say mean things, no matter how true, these may hurt people. However, this mindset did not shield me from getting hurt. This was also why I hated confrontations. Because I only thought that confr...

today was our first day in our pulmonary module. well i was asleep half the first lecture, but i did well in listening in the afternoon session :) and then there was free time, which i gladly spent updating myself with the latest episodes of the vampire diaries and once upon a time :p which i'd gladly write something about as well sometime :p and another exciting thing today, i had a spur of the moment let's join the quiz bee with my friends! the quiz bee was all about stuff about the Philippines. it didn't went well. but, the experience made me really happy with a lot of learning :p liike.. knowing that the stars in the Philippine Flag symbolizes Luzon, Mindanao and Panay Island and that the capital of Tawi Tawi is no longer Tawi Tawi :o sabi ko nga sa status ko sa facebook -- 'nawindang ang brain cells ko. at nachallenge ang natitirang elementary stock knowledge ko' :)) then a dinner full of plans for the summer vacation which i really really hope to push thro...
