Post Duty

I was on duty yesterday and i must admit, i never enjoyed my saturday duty as much as i did yesterday. I assisted in Laparoscopic rectal surgery (the first here in the philippines) that lasted for almost 5 hours and after that i started induction in open cholecystectomy and am happy that my epidural worked haha then, i assisted in craniotomy, excision of tumor of multiple meniongioma that lasted for at least 6 hours.. wow that may seem tiring but am happy that i survived the day! and that i learned a lot. I pray that i maybe this inspired always to do my job. Ora et labora. and thank God for "Angels" that surround me. =)

Blog Revisited.

It has been a long time since i wrote here. And i had fun reading my past blogs. It has always been heartwarming to reminisce. One way or the other it would make you smile. Definitely, the Red Balloon blog seems to be true up until this moment. Am on my leave and i only have a few days left until i go back to the grind but, here i am, trying to finish my research protocol and i still have a few, in my to-do list that aren't crossed out. Well, it's supposed to be my leave and i am supposed to relax, but, time is of the essence. I have to make use of the precious time to catch up academically. I have to do justice to the people who support me and who keep pulling me up. One would always tell me that, there's no way but UP! I have been musing over the past year and i understand completely that am more built to be resilient and to face bigger responsibilities. So it's true that you can only connect the dots in your life looking backwards and not forward. I hope that when the dots have already been connected, i would see a great and wonderful picture.

On a side note: Reminiscing my Beijing trip last June 2-6, It was simply AMAZING plus the company was altogether FUN and Adventurous. Of course we went there for a Neurosurgical Anesthesia Symposium but we also explored the wonders of Beijing and tried new things! =) We were Anesth-ly HAPPY!!! ;)

RED Balloon.

I haven't been blogging for more than a month already. Well things have been going crazy. Everyday, the responsibilities have been inflating like a balloon and the balloon's size seems to be limitless. I feel tired. Sometimes Sad. Few moments i feel triumphant. But i try to make the most out of every experience i encounter and face. Good or Bad. I should see it always in a positive perspective. I wanna WIN. To achieve that, i need COURAGE. FORTITUDE. PATIENCE. AND PRAYERS!

June passed by so fast. A year older again. But looking more than a year younger. Am Inspired. I have met a few inspiring people and they are enough to keep me going and reach for my dreams. I am happy am learning a lot. Every moment is becoming faster than what it seems. But these are cherished moments, till forever! =)

Day 62: Therese-yans!

It's the last day of May! I can feel that it's going to be a very busy and tough June! And it will be memorable and a crucial moment of my life. So Help Me God!

So anyway, yesterday i met with my dormmates. We met at MOA. It was great meeting up with them again after a long time. We just reminisced our college days--our nasty, naughty and wacky moments at the dorm. So much catching up to do. We had coffee and dinner until we parted ways. Awww it was fun being with my dormmates! Viva Therese-Yans! ;)

Today, i am too domesticated. I missed having a yaya around, but well, i deserve a pat on the back for a job well done!

Yes I Can!
;)

Day 60: Whatta game! =)

Yesterday, I was raving about the LAKERS vs SUNS game. It was the most thrilling game that i have seen! They were tied at 101 with 3.5 seconds left on the clock. Inbound to Kobe then he takes the shot at 3 point range... It was an air ball, by this moment, the time left was less than a second, Artest got hold of the ball and shoots it at .04 sec and it GETS IN!!!!!! WHOAAAAA!!!! WHAT AN AMAZING FINISH!!! LAKERS WON!!!! WHAT A THRILLING GAME!!! =)

Surprisingly, the Rain came yestereday too, but my friends and i had to wait for two hours for a cab going to another friend's despedida party at Choi Garden. So we were desperately late. But, this was a different dinner because we got to play games at our table... hahah we played charades and guess what thingiemajig was written on the paper on our forehead knda game... it was simply fun. After the dinner we had krispy creme doughnuts. Yummy and sweet original glazed, it's still the best for me!

Today, i went shopping for some slacks, ate some takoyaki, worked on an abstract and my friend dropped by at Bo's too and we ate dinner at our favorite resto that is, C2 and then we parted ways.
