Grateful :)

Today I woke up with no attendance to sign, no endorsement to receive or to give, no patients to monitor, to conduct or to see. 5 years of medical school is over and i cant help but be grateful :) Yes, it was a difficult journey, but definitely a happy one.

It was just a childhood dream eventually realizing that this is something I want to do and someone I want to be.

Thank you to my ever supportive family who understood every duty and post duty status. A few days ago was my dad's birthday and today is my mom's and as a gift I gave them my graduation pictures with of course a promise that next time, it would no longer be pictures in the envelope :p Kaunti na lang po :) To my brother, housemates na ulit tayooo haha.

Thank you to my ever patient boyfriend who has been there in every step of the way, for every crazy moment you had lent me your shoulder to sneeze on :p May boards pa so magpakaBuddha mode ka pa rin, okay?:p

Thank you to family and friends who believe, and is continuously believing, who prayed and I'm still requesting for more prayers (for the boards!).

Thank you UP PGH, sirs/mams, guards, nurses, stellar clerks, co-interns, residents, fellows, consultants - thank you for making internship colorful and a venue for a lot of learning not just about health, not just about life but about myself, what I can and should do and what I am willing to do in service for the good of others.

To my patients, thank you for teaching me patience and understanding. And for showing to me how every one is fighting their own battles and thus we should have nothing else to give but kindness to the world.

To my roommate for a year, thank you for putting up with my OCD traits :p Mamimiss kita pero alam ko mas mamimiss mo ako haha.

And of course, to my blockmates turned friends turned family who shared everything with me the past year, secrets, tears, fears, dreams, smiles, hugs, toxicity and of course food, thank you. :) Block H will always be Home, Happiness and Heart :)

To Him who made all these possible, thank You - the best year of medical school has come to an end, and I can't help but smile while I wait for the more amazing things He has in store for me. :)

and things will start to change..

to start it all: my hair! haha. it's short now. like kindergarten short. haha. i like it. and i wanted to have my hair cut since summer, but because of grad pictorials, i need to postpone it. and grad pictorials are done - and i don't want to postpone it any longer. haha. so i had my hair cut yesterday afternoon after watching the Agnes of God play with my brother. (i have no decent pictures yet so you need to see me personally if you want to see it. i feel weird. i think it looks weird. haha.) and so everything follows. *** change is something inevitable. a natural phenomenon that would definitely happen in one way or another. we can't stop it (i think) but we can postpone it and i think i've postponed "that" inevitable change for too long now, and I have no other choice but to let it happen. i've already felt the urge to remove that something from my system at the start of the sem (as the change im talking about). well, i knew i need to deal wi...

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...

Page 2: lungs and the Pinas :)

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...
