I'm reading Ryan Agoncillo's lengthy instagram captions for his wife. Daymmm. They are the goal.I'd do anything to find a life partner who I can spend long nights with discussing about dreams, ambitions, or anything under the sun that covers passions on anthropology, culture, history and my weird fascination with world war 1, world war 2 and Russian culture (recently, Romanov dynasty. Disappointed on the documentary series of Netflix, The Last Czar tho- seriously Rasputin...

It's a saturday morning and I'm stuck in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) monitoring a 36 weeker due to apnea of prematurity probably secondary to sepsis due to retained fecal materials, to consider necrotizing enterocolitis (the worse man). Haven't had my morning coffee (which reminds me to undo these days since the coffee stain on my teeth are starting to bug me) and had to tie my hair in a bun (which all know...

I just had a patient who is currently being taken care of by her aunt because the mother is too busy at work to take care of her. Well, that's according to the tita.This reminded me on some flashbacks and then I asked myself if I can bear a child into this world and let other people take care of him or her while I'm out there chasing my dreams. At some point, I was willing...

Lately I've been really thinking of life in general and how it has come to be, this.I have no qualms. I did end up as a doctor. But, in this retrospective outlook in the spirit of Christmas, I must say... I've remembered a place where I wanted to take up something else.I remember the 12 year old kid who used to write a lot, active in the school paper, wanting to be more socially involved and...

Dear Self,I honestly think we should do this adulting soon. We arent getting younger (lol) and although I blame people (ahem) for making me a fucking entitled bitch when I am fucking angry (lol), one way or the other we need to rely on ourselves.One thing I need to do is to transport my daily ass to work daily. Fucking grab fare is damn expensive which reminds me to invest in car loan. WE NEED...
