Have you ever tried eating those cooked hams? The ones that are usually available at the supermarket - square-shaped, thinly sliced, comes in packs of 12 or 20...? My tita just brought me one pack of this supposed-to-be ulam for this week. It was fine with me. I have tasted this kind of food before and I had no problem with it.. ..until tonight. I prepared 5 slices of cooked ham for dinner. It looked yummy. I was starving and was quite in a hurry because I still have a lot of studying to do. I took the first bite and there came the problem. It tasted like something I never expected it to be. Something not very good for the senses. Something definitely not edible. It was something I worked on lately. For hours. &#...

Hello! Enough with the drama. Lots of things happened already. This is a pre-sem-ender post. I have been busy lately. Really busy that every time I pass by my blog, I just feel sorry for myself because I don't have the time to write. Just a few weeks left before the semester ends. I bet everyone's excited. Especially 2013. Haha! Alone. For now. Yeah!?! I'm excited because I think second semester is going to be a blast. I'll be having a new roommate! Or maybe with an 's'. Victorious. Our first ever batch victory (or maybe not the first, not that I'm aware of) was at the Lady Med 2008. We rocked the hall! To Arbo, great job. Our Badminton Team also won the Himedsikan Sportsfest. How cool is that? Tech buddy. Just so everyone knows, Google has finally rel...

More than a year have passed since he, the young lad, decided to join a logo-making contest. Since then, no news whatsoever was heard regarding the competition. Well, none during the times when he was still within the four walls of CAS. He can't say anything against the contest, especially now that he's there anymore. All he can do now is hope that something happens. Until recently. It was Biogyugan 2008. Lucky he found his way towards watching the contest with his former-bio-but-now-in-med friends. Cool huh? Nothing beats the feeling of being home again. That's what he thought. Though some have changed, the "bio love" was still there. It was the first time that he actually experienced watching Biogyugan decently. Why? Because for four years, he has been a performer thus he didn't real...

Today is a lucky day (well, according to the Chinese). It's 08.08.08 Today is the opening of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. More importantly, today, I hope will be a turning point between who I was yesterday and who I will be tomorrow. What could be worse than yesterday? The worst part is, I have no one to share it with.. I'm glad that I was able to keep myself busy. Mabuti na lang may Student Lounge.. na may WiFi.. Mabuti na lang dala ko si Sickle. Mabuti na lang may kailangang basahin na module.Mabuti na lang at may dala akong panyo........

(click thumbnail to enlarge picture) I'm into photography. I'm a frustrated photographer. If only I have the things I need then I might be one right now. But this didn't stop me from doing what I want. With my Cyber-shot phone, I filled-in the gaps of me as an amateur photographer and luckily came up with a (very) few good shots. I have been happier ever since. It's only been about ten days since the last time I visited SonyEricsson.com to check for phone updates when I noticed their efforts of highlighting their new line of Cyber-shot phones. With this promotion is the launching of a mini-contest "Cyber-shot Photography." This contest is exclusively for Cyber-shot phone users worldwide who have taken creative shots of anything and everything. Being the frustrated photographer th...

Hey there. I'm here at the college's student lounge. Just finished class. I need a sigh right now. A big one. SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH. I just had my FIRST failing mark in med school. Because of this, I am not sure right now if I will still have the courage to meet my Bio barkada later today.. My energy's drained. Anyway, I'm gonna tell them na lang what happened. I hope it would make me feel better, in a way. I'm here with Joseph, AJ, and Ann right now. Thanks to them for clarifying to me that I still have the chance to be exempted in this subject (OS 203). *yay in the most passive way* Later guys.......

How do you choose a favorite song? Is it because you like the artist/singer? Or is it more of the content/message of the song? Me, I'm not very keen about it. I noticed kasi na minsan kahit hindi masyadong OK yung message nung kanta, nagugustuhan ko na din after some time dahil paborito ko yung artist. Minsan naman, nagugustuhan ko ang isang kanta kahit hindi ko kilala yung artist. 'Yun siguro ay dahil sa message nung song. Minsan din naman nahihilig ako sa mga nakaka-LSS na song kahit kung tutuusin hindi ko naman talaga type yung kanta.More importantly, what makes a song very special to me (and becomes listed in my All-Time Favorites) is when I begin associating it with someone. And how do I know if a particular song is meant to make me remember a person.. well, it's obvious. When I liste...

LAX.i didn't have any idea that it would be that worry-free. three major orientations, two film showings, an hour's worth of electing class officers, more hours spent by upper batches announcing something, around five happy birthdays have been sung, and some minutes spent filling-up class directories and handing out of primers.BENIGN.apparently the term used in UP Med to describe such condition.ID.I had it made, at last. I also bought an ID strap -- dark green. Yipee. Maroon's out. Hehehe.RSO.First official meeting with my fellow RSO peeps. 22 pala kami. Sheen was elected our batch head. And because of that, I think she had to spend the weekend in Pansol, Calamba, Laguna for an RSO grand "start-of-the-school-year" meeting and planning. Congratulations!SEATS.My goodness. 162 people in 1 roo...

What: UPCM Class of 2013 Freshman OrientationWhere: BSLR-East, UP College of MedicineWhen: Today! Started 9AM. Ended 4PM.I arrived just in time for registration. As I was expecting, the organizers (2012 peeps) have decided to group us alphabetically at the registration area. Group names were Bates, Berne, De Myer, Guyton, etc. which are based on the authors of popular (and recommended) first year med books in the college. As expected, too, Reinzi and I ended up being groupmates (we both have accepted the fact that we're only one person away in the class list, making us groupmates forever. Haha..).I must say, the Berne people (meaning, my groupmates) are a bunch of interesting individuals. Why? I dunno really. Hahaha. All of us [Berne] were UP graduates, this was what I have heard at the 'R...

| Lines |
| 2008-05-27 21:25:57 |
It's all about lines.The finish line at the end of residency, waiting in line for a chance at the operating table, and then there’s the most important line, the line separating you from the people you work with. It doesn’t help to get too familiar to make friends. You need boundaries, between you and the rest of the world. Other people are far too messy.It’s all about lines. Drawing lines in the sand and praying like hell no one crosses them.But at some point you have to make a decision.Boundaries don't keep other people out; they fence you in.Life is messy, that's how we're made. So you can waste your life drawing lines or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines that are way too dangerous to cross. Here's what I know: If you're willing to take a chance, the ...

Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.One Monday evening. It was an hour before midnight when my cellphone rang. A message from a not-so-ordinary person, asking about something. Just when I was about to write my reply, something came up. And instead of answering casually, my mind went somewhere else."Uhm.. Sino 'to?"Yeah I know. It was an insane reply. I was just trying to make fun of what was going on. Though it seems that what I did was a stupid, stupid idea, hey, when I look back, it wasn't as bad as it seems after all. Something tells me that's what I had to do. Oh well, I hope I did the right thing. Either way, I still have to get over it.......

| Ako? Adult? |
| 2008-05-27 21:16:15 |
There comes a point in your life when you're officially an adult. Suddenly, you're old enough to vote, drink, and engage in other adult activities. Suddenly, people expect you to be repsonsible, serious... a grown up. We get taller, we get older. But do we ever really grow up?This time I gave in. But at the end of the day I found myself smiling for no good reason at all. I'm hoping it will only get better the second time around.In some ways we grow up. We have families, we get married, divorced, but for the most part, we still have the same problems that we did when we were fifteen. No matter how much we grow taller, grow older, we are still forever stumbling, forever wondering, forever young.......

| Second Time |
| 2008-05-27 21:14:38 |
Okay, so, sometimes even the best of us make rash decisions. Bad decisions. Decisions we pretty much know we're going to regret the moment, the minute, especially the morning after. I mean, maybe not regret, regret because at least, you know, we put ourselves out there. But...still. Something inside us decides to do a crazy thing. A thing we know will probably turn around and bite us in the ass. Yet, we do it anyway. What I'm saying is...we reap what we sow. What comes around goes around. It's karma and, any way you slice it...karma sucks.ang bilis a. parang kailan lang nung sinabi ko na sana it would be better the second time around. akalain mong meron na agad! hahaha.. better ba? APPARENTLY NOT. I know it's embarassing but I have to admit that it was worse. Napaka-sabog nung event. Like ...

It is possible that you might be checking this site once in a while. I hope so. At least right now. This one's for you.You talk about life, you talk about death, and everything in between, like it's nothing, and the words are easy. You talk about me, you talk about you, and everything I do, like it's something, that needs repeating.I don't need an alibi or for you to realize the things we left unsaid are only taking space up in our heads. Make it my fault, win the game, point the finger, place the blame and toss me up and down. It doesn't matter now.'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again. This is not about emotion. I don't need a reason not to care what you say or what happened in the end.The first two weeks turn into ten, I hold my breath and wonder when it'll happen. Does it ...

| Antinociception |
| 2008-05-24 22:12:08 |
nociception. (nōˑ·si·sep·shn) n. (1) pain. (2) perception of a painful stimulus.It comes in all forms. The small twinge, a bit of soreness, the random pain, the normal pains that we live with everyday. Then there's the kind of pain you can't ignore. A level of pain so great that it blocks out everything else; makes the rest of your world fade away until all we can think about is how much we hurt. How we manage our pain is up to us.We anaesthetize, ride it out, embrace it, ignore it. And for some of us, the best way to manage pain is to just push through it. You just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers. You just breathe deep and wait for it to subside. Most of the time pain can be managed, bu...

Finally, nakalipat din ako. Saan? Diyan lang. I am so excited about moving in to a new place here in Manila. This is four years in the making, man! My closest friends know that. And why. =pSo. The place is a studio-type condominium unit, but has a fiber glass divider (hot no? haha!) for a semi-1-bedroom style. I have been living here for two weeks now, with my cousin who studies at Mapua. Actually we're still looking for one more male roommate. We just thought the place is still spacious for the two of us and adding one more wouldn't be a problem.We have no cable TV, but the local channels are as clear so we decided not to subscribe for cable channels anymore. We have a water heater (hahah!), just in time for the rainy season wherein the water supply from the building will be as cold as he...

| Sablay [noun] |
| 2008-05-13 22:09:06 |
The University of the Philippines, as the eternal vanguard of Philippine nationalism, poses an alternative to the Western toga and cap as the graduation attire of choice for Philippine schools. The sablay — first used at UP Diliman in 1990 — is a truly unique, truly UP, and truly Filipino academic costume.The word Sablay has two meanings: one, a loose piece of clothing, worn by a person, that is simple yet elegant and joined in front by an ornament, and two, the draping object or fabric on the shoulder. The Sablay gets its inspiration from the muslim malong but incorporates various traditional elements found in other Philippine cultures. Running through the Sablay are geometric motifs of indigenous Philippine tribes.The characters woven into or printed on the sablay are in Alibata, the...

We like to think that we are rational beings, humane, conscientious, civilized, thoughtful.But when things fall apart, even just a little, it becomes clear: we're no better than animals.There's a little animal in all of us. And maybe that's something to celebrate.Our animal instinct is what makes us seek comfort, warmth, a pack to run with.We may feel caged. We may feel trapped. But still, as humans, we can find ways to feel free.We are each other's keepers. We are the guardians of our own humanity. And, even though there's a beast inside all of us, what sets us apart from the animals is that we can think, feel, dream, and love.And against all odds, against all instinct, we evolve.......

Busy week last week. Not so busy week ahead.Monday. Busy day. I gave the narrative for The Epic of Gilgamesh in my Humanities II class. Big deal? Yeah (!?!?) I don't know what's getting into me everytime I attend this class but it seems really, uh, not worth the 90 minutes. For the past five months, I have done a lot for this subject - had an exam (and amazingly passed it), visited a museum, reviewed several works of art, watched a bunch of related videos, written a whole lot of reaction papers, read half a book, but believe it or not, I still can't find the 'H' in humanities (if you know what I mean). To think, it's the second (and final) exam on March 17. From what happend today, I am quite happy that I did something that made me remember that I actually have a Hum. II class this sem...

Lazy day Monday. I swear to God I slept early last night. Sith can attest to that. We were thesis-ing last night when I actually reminded him that it's quite late for bedtime and I had to go. No one knows what happened that entire night while I was sleeping why on earth I ended up waking up really late this morning. Darn I was really pissed. I was out of schedule for about two hours.As a result, I wasn't able to attend my Rad. Bio class and I almost ditched an early lunch with my friends. What made this morning a little more interesting was when I was on my way to school. As I took a seat inside the bus, I realized that it's radio is on and is tuned in to 101.1 (I'm not sure of the station name) FM. As I was preparing my cellphone headset (I'd rather listen to my MP3s than on the radio), I...

We hope we get a good feedback. I really like the blue one. Sith liked it too, I think. And according to him, a lot of people did, too. Amazing.. Hahah.Wala pang isang oras pagkadating ng allowance ko for this month, bawas na agad ng 4000+ pesos. Pano kasi, hindi pala ako nakapagbayad ng Internet Bill last month, ayun, eh di 2000 na. Tapos yung Globe bill pa ng Ate ko, 2400. Actually binigay na niya 2 weeks ago pa yung dapat pambayad eh. Nagastos ko yata. Hardcopy kasi (I mean, hawak ko kasi). Ayun, nadali din tuloy pera ko. Haaaay. Broke talaga o. Brokebackan na! Wahahaha..Marami pa akong kwento...

| 2008-04-09 18:54:43 |
Since high school, I have been creating home-made videos into mini-films that would, well, in my own standards, fit for public viewing. I found this skill very useful especially in college when we are asked to create video projects/presentations and short films. Of course at times there is a thought of"If I actually decided to do filming as one of my priorities in life, what would it be called?"It wasn't until today that I finally got it all figured out.I now consider my video creations (and similar digital art) as part of the Right Brain Projects™.Come on now people, we all know what the right brain is capable of and what it does best.Cheers![ check out the videos at http://www.youtube.com/user/rheyian9 ]......

| A History of Cell Phones |
| 2008-04-09 18:51:57 |
Article: Courtesy of MSN Tech & Gadgets, and PC WorldFrom Motorola's first phone, which weighed in at 2 pounds, to Apple's iPhone, here's a look at how cell phones have evolved over the years.1982: HeftyMotorola DynaTAC 8000XIn 1973, Motorola showed off a prototype of the world's first portable cellular telephone. That phone, which measured more than a foot long, weighed almost 2 pounds, and cost $3995, ultimately became commercial available in 1983. Known as the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, its battery could provide 1 hour of talk time, and its memory could store 30 phone numbers. It may not have been pretty, but it did let you talk while on the go--if you could lift it, that is. (Photograph: Courtesy of Motorola)1982: Hefti...

Instead of them, I think these people must have been the ones to be removed from the competition (Note: my personal opinion)1. Amanda Overmyer - she's unique. That's it.

Artist: Matchbox TwentyAlbum: Exile on MainstreamMorning falls like rain into the city lifeThere goes another nightLosing my breath in wavesKnowing that ever crash is bleading the hourglassand taking the strife from all our livesEveryone keeps talkingThey promise you everythingBut they don't mean anythingWe may loose our focusThere's just too many wordsWe're never meant to learnAnd we don't feel so aliveSo goodbye, these days are goneand we can't keep holding onWhen all we need is some reliefThrough these hard timesThrough these hard timesMove your hands in circlesKeeping me hypnotizedThe power behind your eyesMove around your bedroom cursing the naked skyYou should be here tonightBut you stay alone and crySay goodbye, these days are goneand we can't keep holding onWhen all we need is some...
