and then again...

it was one of those nights when i had a text chat with my regulary irregular textmate. the unusual thing this time is that i was the one asking questions.

'saan ka nag college tsaka anu course mo?'

'BA ust kalapit pla tyo skul b4?'

'hindi. kse fairview school ko nung med at for sure grad ka na nun'

i got confused about the timeline. so i asked

'ilang taon ka na ba?'

'24. kaw?'

that instant there i was. brokehearted just like that. hay buhay

trip to batangas

these were some of the pictures from our retreat in calaruega










on our last day, i went to madel's hometown (Bauan, Batangas). on our way there, we get to take a pic of fantasy world.



we had a side trip in taal. this is the taal cathedral. the largest church in asia.

updates updates

• this is my last day as a transplant/vascular intern. tomorrow i'll be rotating in urology.
  
• things i've learned in transplant:
• harvesting a kidney from a cadaver costs 100, 000 php with free air fare (in case the harvest will be done in cebu or davao. pwede na din bicol)
• a kidney transplant is worth a million or more.
• di lang pala kidney transplant ang ginagawa sa NKTI. meron din liver transplant.
  
• ang yayaman talaga ng mga transplant surgeons!!!
• remembering my pedia surg rotation:

this was an explore lap done in an 11 year old kid with a large abdominal mass which is maybe a sarcoma or a teratoma.

recent updates

• im through with my surgery rotation at the eagle last month. and now is my last day in peridatric surgery. since it's sunday today, wala akong pasok hehe. nakaka- high talaga ang mga nakita kong cases sa pedia surgery. dun ako nakakita ng true to life craniopagus (conjoined heads) at hermaphrodite. at iba talaga mag assist sa surgery ng mga bata. kahit exlap na e hindi nauubos ang energy sa kaka- retract. hehe. pero sa isang banda, kawawa naman sila dahil bata pa sila, andami na nila pinagdadaanan sa buhay nila.
  
• nung friday, nag bike kami ni kokoy sa circle. ansaya pala! hehe. inabot na kami ng gabi doon at pagsapit ng dilim e madami akong napansin na mga guys na naka maong at sando with matching maliit na backpack. patambay- tambay lang sila dun at kahit ilang beses na namin sila naiikutan sa aming pagbbike, e andun pa din sila sa may mga bato or bench, nakaupo na parang may hinihintay. tanong: ano kaya ang pakay nila sa circle? at sino kaya ang hinihintay nila? hehe.
  
• may bago na kong baby. dumating na sya! ang puti puti at magaan. ang name nya ay mac. :)
  
• gusto ko mag swimming!!!! wala bang mag- aaya jan?
