Enmat

Pagkatapos kong kunin ang NMAT kanina sa loob ng anim na nakakasakit-ng-batok na oras, pakiramdam ko ang.. astig ko, hehe. :) At syempre, ng buong klase. :) Astig kase apat na raang tanong ang dinaanan namin, kasabay ng apat na raang initimang bilog, habang nakikipagkarera sa oras at nakikipaglaban sa tindi ng buga ng aircon. Parang natapos mo na ang unang pagsubok ng med life sa pamamagitan ng mahabang pagkakaupo.

At kahit dinaig ng mga tambayan at buildings ng La Salle and bawat sulok ng UPM, astig pa rin ang pakiramdam, dahil taliwas sa kapalaran ng nakararami, alam ko na sa puntong ito kung saan ako unang magbubukas ng katawan ng tao. At sa palagay ko, hindi kayang tumbasan nung marmol na sahig, malawak na grass field at nung vending machine ang pakiramdam na yon. :)

Meet the East

Besides owning an MD at the end of my name, I now probably have a long list of things I want to venture into, like owning a flowershop, speaking French, giving birth to identical twins or trying out every ice cream flavor in the world. Today though, thanks to Dr. Philip of CM, I wanted to try something a little different: learn the art of Chinese medicine. (well, not really different-different since it's in the same field but still different, hehe.) I view traditional Chinese medicine as one crappy system of silly, accidentally-accurate techniques, well, until I had my third History of Med class.

It dawned on me that I was being a sort of an atheist all this time. Of course, who wouldn't be confident with Western Medicine given that it has proofs for its conclusions, but hey, maybe a little faith on an alternative wouldn't hurt. :) For all I know, I might be a better doctor if I would be practicing the medical techniques from both sides of the world (woohoo :P) and, it could probably make a difference, especially to the unprivileged, if I could advice cheaper and more practical strategies of keeping one's self healthy. :) And, it'll be cool to learn to speak and read Chinese! :P

But hell noooo, =/ NOT.. GIVING.. UP.. ice-cold water and ice cream. :)
