We seem to gain wisdom more readily through our failures than through our successes. We always think of failure as the antithesis of success, but it isn't. Success often lies just the other side of failure. ...

Viareggio, near Pisa (Italy) April 5, 1903 You must pardon me, dear Sir, for waiting until today to gratefully remember your letter of February 24. I have been unwell all this time, not really sick, but oppressed by an influenza-like debility, which has made me incapable of doing anything. And finally, since it just didn't want to improve I came to this southern sea, whose beneficence helped me once before. But I am still not...
“The answer is good things only happen to you if you're good. Good? Honest is more what I mean... Be anything but a coward, a pretender, an emotional crook, a whore: I'd rather have cancer than a dishonest heart.” ― Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany's ...
“This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy.” ― Susan Polis Schutz ...
“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For...
ParisFebruary 17, 1903 Dear Sir, Your letter arrived just a few days ago. I want to thank you for the great confidence you have placed in me. That is all I can do. I cannot discuss your verses; for any attempt at criticism would be foreign to me. Nothing touches a work of art so little as words of criticism: they always result in more or less fortunate misunderstandings. Things aren't all so tangible...

Enjoy the Moment with American Idol.
I feel refreshed. With all that stress in my neck, I really needed that break last night. Enjoyed the American Idol Live Tour with my family courtesy of my brother, who got Patron passes from his job. He works for History Channel and I am so enjoying the perks that comes with his job. I'm so proud of my brother for his accomplishments :) Even if I needed to study, I chose to support him...

When in Doubt, Remember these things.
You'll need these motivational quotes in medical school. It serves as a remembrance that positive thinking goes a long, long way. It differs from various students however. I, on the other hand benefit so much from reading these. It makes me want to persevere more. THIS TOO SHALL PASS. *sigh* "If only I sought the easy way out." ...

Don't Quit Medical School
Last week, I had all the intention to quit medical school. Personal reasons, I hope you don't mind that I keep this to myself. But then, I realized that I'm half way there. It's really just a long, long, long journey and I am getting impatient. Keys to ponder on before entering medical school. Get ready for a roller coaster ride of emotional turmoil. You will encounter a lot of frustration, a lot of competition,...

I am ready to spread my wings and fly. Even if I have no sleep and no rest, it won't make me stop achieving the things that I want to accomplish in my life. I don't know how. I am afraid. Everything is telling me that it's impossible (logically) but then again, my faith in God prevails. I know in the end, He will make all things possible if I just truly believe. Don't let...
Tired like Hell. My back keeps hurting and the spot where they say I have adenomyoma is hurting badly, but can't really dwell on it because I gotta keep going. Third year of medical school is tough. So many things needed to do keeps piling up. I hate this f* routine. I keep doing my paper in the morning. I hate procrastination. But I can't help it because I am dead asleep when I go...

Find Ways to Motivate Yourself
My room is filled with little notes so that when I get depressed or burn-out with medical school, I am reminded on why I even did this in the first place. Luckily, I have prepared my mind and soul for what awaits for me in this field. I guess, my one year break before med school was worth-it after all. It taught me how to manage myself and how to stay focus despite the tough...
At some point in your life as a medical student, you will feel this incessant burn-out syndrome. But don't fret, when that happens.... just do what I do. Alcohol = Stimulator. But only until one bottle or so, because instead of stimulating you to study, it will cause you to dooze off. HAHAHA. That happened to me once. You have to accept at some point of your life that studying is an inevitable part of...

There can be Life aside from Medicine... seriously.
Just finished my tasks for today. Not really medical related but more of on a personal note. I was able to run down to my bank, BDO in Quezon Avenue to close my account in order to transfer it to BPI. On my way home, I was able to inquire about opening a bank account in Metrobank, Q. Ave branch. The heat of the sun was at it's finest and as usual I had to...
Earlier on today, our group had to interview a patient in the medicine ward of UERM hospital, charity section. It was not my turn to take the history and physical examination so I just had to observe my other group mates. It was boring, sitting just there... watching. So what happened was while I had to practically be there to support my group mates, the patient just beside our assigned patient was very friendly so...
I couldn't find a pediatric patient with the same symptoms as the picture above; but you get the picture. HAHA. I am once again doing a paper.... this time on pediatrics. So there's internal medicine, surgery, psychiatry and pediatrics that requires a paper submitted containing the history, physical examination, clinical impression, differential diagnosis, treatment and management. KILL ME NOW. Medicine is getting challenging. OMG. Oh well. Sharing the history of present illness for those inspiring...
The patient came in with a complaint of a growing mass on the neck. Four weeks prior to admission, the patient suddenly noticed a mass that is said to be solid, firm, non-movable, non-tender, warm to touch with redness over the area. It is said to be about the size of an old one-peso coin and located at the right anterior portion of the neck. It is associated with cough and colds. There were no...
At some point in your medical life, you will get tired of studying inside your room. Thus, the existence of coffee shops and tea shops have been such a big relief for medical students. I usually study in Banawe since that is the nearest commercial lot within my home. I found this cool tea shop, Zen Tea. For only P50.00, I have fast wi-fi connection, outlet (unlimited) and really great flavored green tea. I used...
I can give you 101 reasons why I can't have my own car. But, on top of the list is the fact that the place I'm residing is not flood-free. All the more reasons, why I am this close in finally giving in to my boyfriend's plea to live in the far away land of Las Piñas City when the time comes. But then again, let's see. P.S. All I ever wanted for this school...
Fear is the ability to recognize danger leading to an urge to confront it or flee from it (also known as the fight-or-flight response) but in extreme cases of fear (horror and terror) a freeze or paralysis response is possible as defined by wikipedia.
