For the next two weeks (Jan 1 - 16), I am officially a bum. Yey!

Actually, not a "bum" bum. But I'll be in OPD, which means, no duty for me! I might feel like doing a make-up for my absence when I got sick last month, though. And of course, there's the Grand Rounds to prepare for. Of all the cases in the ward during the month of December, my case had to be chosen for presentation. Syempre ako magpepresent nun. Ang galing no? Lagi na lang akong malas sa ganyan. Another thing: on Jan 17, I'll be in Medicine Pay, and I will be assigned in Four South. The wing with the most number of rooms. Three times the number of rooms of the other stations. Ang galing, ang malas ko talaga.

Oh well. At least, after that, I'll be in Antipolo for Community Medicine. Those who rotated there ahead of us described the experience as, "isang buong buwan ng kainan at inuman." Hmn, so does that mean I should not go through with my diet? Especially since a few minutes ago, I popped two little malted chocolate balls into my mouth for dessert? :)

Tomorrow, OPD starts. Strict Southbeach-Scarsdale fusion (syempre, imbento ko) starts. Goodbye, peanut butter cups. Goodbye, malted chocolate balls. Please stay there at the bottom of the vegetable crisper, away from my longing eyes. We will reunite at the end of two weeks. :)

I know. Sabog post. :)

Yesterday, we passed by the fishpond before going home. My dad introduced me to his caretaker as ang anak kong doktora.

The caretaker asked, "yung mataba?"

Sabagay, mataba naman talaga ko. Bwiset. Promise, 2004, papayat na ko.

Wet Read

I was on duty on New Year's Eve.

While everyone welcomed 2004 at home with their families, or in some posh club with their friends, I was with my groupmates. And I was assigned at, where else, the ICU.

But it wasn't as bad as it seems. For one, the ICU patients were so stable, and were just waiting to be transferred to the general wards. I didn't have to stay inside the whole time. And the resident on duty happened to be this really cool gwapo guy who's everyone's crush.

Everyone but me. Wonderwall pa din. (Oops, I love you Migs. :))

10:30, he called everyone inside for the Media Noche. The JIs just went out from time to time to check on the patients. 11:30, the drinking started. Yeah, it's bawal pero
New Year naman, eh.

12:00, everyone was in the bridge joining the pay floors and the wards counting, shouting, kissing, and greeting each other while watching Quezon City's fireworks. Ang cute, even people I wasn't close to kissed me and greeted me Happy New Year.

Because we're in Medicine rotation (unlike the others who were so benign they could afford to continue drinking and partying), after that, back in the wards. I was in the middle of my chart rounds when my (and everyone's) favorite radiology resident passed by, called my name, said, Doctora, tuyong tuyo ka pa ah, and then shot me entire contents of a 20 cc syringe.

A different take on the radio term, wet read.

A Blessed and Prosperous 2004, Everyone! :)

If you survive Med/Law school you end up become either very dull or very strange. There are no normal people.

I agree.

Resolution that never gets fulfilled: To start exercising and lose weight. Learn time management to make that happen.

My sentiments, exactly.
