Yesterday was hangout day with friends. We decided to try out Flapjacks at Greenbelt 2 since we've been hearing raving reviews about it in the past month. The ambiance was warm and cozy. Now ordertime. I lalalove cream cheese so I decided to get the cream cheese-stuffed french toast with cherries. I was told that this was one of their bestsellers. After the first bite, I wanted to throw it

Good movie. Nice plot. Smart twist near the end. Worth watching. This post may be a little late since the movie came out a few weeks ago, but I just watched it a few hours ago after I downloaded it... ahem, illegal??I wondered why all of a sudden the passion to become a doctor? He was near graduating in one of the most prestigious universities in the US (ahem... my cousin goes there), so I

What I do now is blog hop. I look for blogs that catch my interest, these usually being personal celebrity (not gossip!), travel or doctor's blogs, as I am home most of the time. I love reading personal celebrities blogs since you get to know them not as the celebrity you see on TV but rather who they're not on TV. It's nice to know that they're just as ordinary as you an I. They just have a

It's June already and everywhere I go, I still feel the "I heart David Cook" high. According to my cousin (a Cook fan too) channel 11 replayed the top 12 episodes all day for 2 days including the finals. Man, alooot of fans out there! One of the top downloads on itunes since the finals, is his single Time of my Life, and still is. Most of the people I know have downloaded all his songs,

I graduated from residency last Dec. 2005. Instead of taking the diplomate boards in March, I decided to skip it and take it in November. Reasons: 1.) I wasn't ready 2.) I was tired 3.) I was scared. Normally, others would start putting up their practice right after graduation and start their review in the process. Me, being the coward that I am, flew to the US and took a 3-month breather

Everyone has watched Gossip Girl except me. Well, considering my age, I don't find watching a group of rich high school girls and boys sleeping around appealing. Not that I have anything against those who watch it, watch anything you like.. It's just a peeve that I find so immature. Even local celebrities rave about it and even wear those ridiculous-looking headbands with enormous bows on the

Summer getaway for this year: BORACAY. Actually, it was my first time and it was definitely, definitely, the greatest summer I've had since.. I dunno when. :) We went there via "ro-ro", and believe me, you do not want to experience the "ro-ro" ride.. A warning to all of you out there who are on a tight budget, yes it's cheap, but I tell you, it was excruciating! So please, take the plane! Bus

some people have this tendency to be obnoxious and down right insensitive which just pisses me off.. I hate people who think so highly of themselves, who are so self-righteous, who think they're everything, who look down on others just because of how they look or what they wear or how much money you make. Why oh why do these people even exist? When I was little, I was taught at a very early

Just got back from an exhausting 3-day convention at the PICC. As always, we had to commute back and forth from QC to Pasay since we didn't have a sponsor for an accomodation at a nearby hotel, and as usual again, the food wasn't so great. I dunno why every year it's the same old Via Mare. The lectures were..hohumm... and for the good ones', well the second you arrive at the function room it

Yesterday my dermatologist friend called me up and asked me if I wanted to attend a "demo" for a laser machine she was planning to purchase. Yea, hair removal, skin rejuvenation, acne, etc.. and hell yea! for no cost! So, I had the hairs on my feet removed (you know the ones on each toe? yea, those) Anyway, the demonstrator first cleaned each toe with water then zapped away. Oh yea, the laser

owkei..., let me just add pala that my third panelist also asked about weakness of both extremities in a 5 yrs. old boy. Oh boy... my favorite ... out of all the subspecializations, it had to be neurology!! Geez.. like, how lucky was I??!So, after the exam, we headed for Trinoma, had lunch, watched Fools Gold. I didn't enjoy the movie. It didn't relax me, which I thought would. I was waiting

March 30, 3:00 in the morning, I suddenly awoke, with a nagging feeling in my gut, thinking..today is the day..today is the day... I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't. 5:00 am, stood up and made myself a cup of coffee and drank in silence. 6:00 am, preparation time, 7:00 am, I was on my way to Kalayaan Ave. I arrived at the PPS building at exactly 7:30 am. On my way up, that nagging

Today is Easter Sunday. Give praise to the risen Lord!My blog was previously entittled "Trial & Error" all because I recall all the trials I went through and all the errors I made in my life regarding my profession. Initially this was supposed to be more of a "rant & rave" blog (well, whose blog isn't, right?). Did I mention that being a doctor was not my plan? Well partially, but not

Orals is just around the corner and I feel like I haven't retained anything inside this little, puny brain of mine. I've been reviewing for the past 2 and a half months and nothing seems to stick. What to do..what to do.. I don't know what the hell to do..

Ok guys, listen up... I came across an article in the New York Times which was written last January 6, 2008 regarding the falling down of the so-called "elite "professions. Here's what they had to say... So now who’s going to cheer up the doctors?As of 2006,nearly 60 percent of doctors polled by the American College of PhysicianExecutives said they had considered getting out of medicine because

Today's the day I will start blogging about me...an unemployed professional (take note, a jobless PROFESSIONAL who studied for like 8-10 years), who right now has so many expectations in life and can't seem to hold grasp. Why the title Trial and Error? I dunno... I guess that's what I have been doing for the past couple of years. Trying out things that I would think make a big impact in my
