BOO

That is Blood of Olympus, the last book of the Heroes of Olymous book series. And I have not yet bought it *sad face*

But I was able to read it during our pseudosembreak, we were at BGC and naturally we drifted to Fully Booked. There were a lot of BOO copies and I just had to sit down and read it. I only had a few hours left of the day so I decided to only read Nico's part, or the ones where his name appears.

I swear everytime I remember Nico and his ending of the book, I get teary-eyed. Finally he has a sort-of-happy ending. And this time with a new "love interest"! I got on that ship faster than a speeding bullet! Solangelo (nico di angelo/will solace) is such a cute pairing! And I love how will is a son of Apollo and he is a medic! So yay for associations with my profession! I love their dynamics and how Nico was able to finally tell Percy about his crush on him and how he let his crush go, and then suddenly a new one arises. Sure it was just a small hint, but that hint is already a great big show sign for us fangirls!

Of course, med life has not been so forgiving for all my dalliances with other things except for medical related things. We have upcoming Neuro pracs and long exam that I should really concentrating on because I have a failing grade. I do not want to repeat this subject! So help me God!

After this Neuro thing I am giving myself some luxury by either watching some tv shows and/or reading some solangelo fanfics.
Happy Nico is my drug and I need it like I need food.

Week Update

I think it has been quite a while, or a few days since I wrote something here.
This is actually surprising because a year or a few months would pass before I remember about his blog again and write something.

This week has been weird. I mean, it is kinda like the mellow week before the next week when we have our Physiology long exam and our Biochemistry departmental, and the following week with a ton of exams and practicals.

So what we did for this week was our lab conference reports. In physiology, I actually got praised by Dr. Cuizon. This was really surprising and both the class and Dr. Campomanes were shocked and I felt great with a side of guilty. I have never responded well when I did well and my friends didn't. Ana got a big lecture about her 4 minute overtime in her report. I mean, I thought that she should have known that she should only report for three minutes, but she prepared 20 slides in her powerpoint. I know that my report should only last 5 minutes, so I prepared 7 slides. Sure, she screwed up, and she also had a fault in it, and I shouldn't feel bad, but I do. ugh, survivor's guilt.

Aside from feeling survivor's guilt, I was feeling proud as well. I finished my report at exactly 5 minutes. Practicing the night before gave me a really good shot. Yeay!

We had a sleepover at Ana's last night. It was fun! There was food, chips and chocolate. I love sleepovers! and especially at someone's with a lot of stacked food in their house. yay!
Of course there was a matter of class with Dr. Maglonzo the following day, but whatever! I was the last to sleep that night.

We are probably gonna change our research already. And we have to hustle to get the paper done by November 3. It's gonna be a validation study, because we are gonna make a tool for assessment of Health-seeking behavior. yay or nay? I hope we can get through this.

Here's to October!

Bipolarity

I don't know why but even I find myself weird. I mean come one, one moment I'm the affectionate fluffy buddy and then the next I'm the next Ochie of the group.
Speaking of who, Ochie, she's having fun in USA right now, eating delicious food but in the expense of the weight gain seen in the american population. I tease her as being a couch potato though, meh we miss her already. Especially staying at her house and eating home food.
Anyway, Ochie is my prime example of no-touchy-touchy introvert so you get the comparison now right? (probably not because the reader cannot relate and I am too lazy to further elaborate on my friends)

Oh and we were able to go the mall a while ago, despite the flood in our street. It was not that deep and we were able to walk by the side of the streets. There was this yummy soft serve in the basement of the mall. They used corn as the main ingredient of the cone, I like it very much, in fact it totally filled my tummy but I was craving for something else, so I ate again. UGH, goodbye money hello more calories.
But my sister hated it because it threatened to destroy her braces, which were really expensive.

Then study time for me. Biochemistry, Anatomy SGD and Physiology LabCon ppt.

Can't wait for the break! Back to Butuan na please!

It's 12:03AM

Just survived one of the most mentally exhausting day in my medschool career, so far.
I had a report in PrevMed which was about Influenza A, B, C and AH1N1, there was a long exam for Histology, practicals for Anatomy and we had to pass the chapter 1 of our thesis. And as usual, I was cramming everything.

Motto for the day: NO REGRETS! Do what you can, to the best of your ability during the allotted time.

Btw, wwww much while I am writing here, I just killed a mosquito and it was a blood bath. I am too lazy to go back upstairs to get myself some alcohol. YUCK!

I think I only slept for 2hours, more than what some people had but still, it is not something that should be repeated!

Anatomy pracs was a nightmare! I got screwed by my indecisions once again. Being in the last group for the practicals was really dreadful, it made me too calm before I went in for the practicals that my nerves got the better of me during the test. UGHHHH moment! but I did not leave a blank, so that is that.

After the long day, our subsection and some other friends ate outside. Somewhere in a little place in Rosario street. It was very crowded and we just ate street food like Kwek-kwek, potato roll, fish ball etc. It was delightful until I had to pay.

Yes, I admit to be very frugal. I have my moments. But I really need my money from Trisha already. I getting broke and I just withdrew money yesterday! It is so ANNOYING! I HATE MONEY MATTERS! If I was the one who ordered too many that I got full and wanted some else to eat half of my food, I would not let the other person pay for it! Especially if it was just street food, I am not that frugal. And so, I decided that money was important and to pay my dues with a heavy heart.

To continue to torture myself, I did not get my sleep, instead I downloaded AHS: Freakshow, and watched it. It was creepy as fuck! I mean the scary clown murdering people and that scene where the clown chased the girl? Total psyche trauma for those with soft hearts. Can't wait for the development of plot and the appearance of the lovely Emma Roberts! YAY!

And I also am eager to download and watch LOK s4ep2. I have seen pictures of old Toph and I cannot wait to see her contribution to the plot of the last season.

Not Knowing

Yes, I have been slacking off. Yes, I have sacrificed quizzes and study times for my laziness.
And yes, it has bitten me so hard in my ego.
We have our little (or is it little when we are about 16-18 people) study group in Cafe Khivan. It's a neat coffee shop, I like studying there. They have this awesome wooden furniture, it's not so comfy that one could fall asleep there, so very conducive for studying!

We rent a room so that our study session could be more private and easier to make noise without disturbing other customers.
Today we were studying Anatomy and Histology because of practicals and long exam, respectively. I am usually quite because I do not know anything, well only a few things but now so much as the others.
And that one time, I try to say something, it comes out wrong. Not is it only wrong but I have confused the word with something else. UGH, embarrassing!!! and it was recorded!

Yes, grabe ang pagka-LUTANG ko.

I do not want that to happen again!
I need to put more effort in my Anatomy!
And my Histology. Well, in short everything!

Being Destructive

There are so many ways that I could start this, but really I hate how I am putting myself up for another sacrifice. It's a bit shallow, but I do care for my grades, and here I am, I skipped my make-up Physio class and the remaining time I had, I used it for sleep, read fan fiction and watch season 3 of Awkward.

I will come back to this post one day and totally blame myself.

song inspiration: Break the Rules
"I don't want to go to school, I just want to break the rules"

Maybe my rebellion phase has not fully gone away. (If you call not studying and not doing anything productive, a rebellion) God, I am lame.

Awkward

I just marathon-ed two seasons of Awkward in two nights. It is already a feat that I am both proud of and dreaded. After all, I am in Medschool, how can I have so much time watching series or even marathon one?! This has given me bad consequences, things that I hope never to have shared with anyone. Like, not actually able to study on my quizzes, loose my sleep which in effect lead me to wake up late, leaving no time to actually ready myself for the day (shower, breakfast and packing my stuff for school).

It was dreadful yet, I don't feel that much dread once I got settled in for the day.

Okay, speaking of Awkward, this is why I wanted to post something today. Let me just place in a timeline. I marathon-ed the first season last Monday, and the second season yesterday. Today I have no quiz the following day so I am a bit careless. I decided I have time to internet, tumblr, twitter, pintrest and whatnot.

I miss being not stressful. I want to be able to write in this blog more. And just like Awkward, I don't think anyone would be reading this, well, anyone that I would know in my personal life anyway; and I hope it does not come to the point that someone in my personal life would actually read this.
Please do not judge my writing skills, I do not claim to be an author or a writer and I do not reread nor do I edit much of these posts of mine.

Let me just say that this week is quite the hell week. It is quiz after quiz after quiz EVERYDAY! tomorrow is a relief, a relief that would have to be used for our reports on friday. UGH!!!

Prevmed is getting cool for me already, I like our professor so even though it is this subject, I can actually tolerate it, unlike the Family Prevmed. Now, I only have the ClinEp subject to have to annoyingly deal with. I HATE RESEARCH!!! So may things to have to write about and DEFEND! Sure, it is the core of improving our future but it is just so annoying. I have these moments of actually thinking that research is worth it, but that only comes after the research is done. I AM SUFFERING DURING ITS COURSE.

By the way, I lost my phone after or maybe even during the Foam party. It's annoying and I hate having to tell mommy that I lost my phone but i am glad to actually have lost it. I did not really like that phone, sure it has endured many accidental falls but it is just so damn difficult to type in that small screen. I have big hands/fingers and it's touch screen. So do the math because it equals annoyance.\

What else can I talk about, now that my mind has been wondering about the past week[s].

Korra is back btw! YAYYYYY!!!!! And I love her new look! The short hair thing gives her the impression of physical power. Plus Korra was fighting in a earth kingdom fight ring. (see how my mind makes easy connections and references).

Anyway, I guess that is it for now. I hope that in the next post I would write something shorter because I would only be writing about my day. (Which shouldn't be too long nor exciting)

P.S. I felt like this is only one-sixth of the rants that I never tell anyone, even my closest friends (but sometimes my sister).

Being a Fujoshi and Medschool

Wow, can i just say how long it has been since i write something here. I think that was too long of a time.

Today is a Monday, but tomorrow I have no classes because of the end of Ramadan. I have some time to relax and surf through the internet. And it was during this harmless surfing of the internet that I realized that I want to watch anime.
This is a dilemma, well this is something that should be easily solved but because of my desire there is a conflict of interest. You see, if I watch anime, I would be using a lot of time when I could be doing my assignment in Histology or study for Biochem or research for PrevMed.

I know my priorities and that is why I am writing in this blog.

Yup, I definitely know my priorities (btw, I am being sarcastic)

And these shows are shounen-ai material or sports anime and they are such great shows and it makes me happy. BUT I have subjects to study, and cells to draw and chemical compounds to memorize.

I was just thinking how hard it is to be a Fujoshi in Med school.

IT IS SO DAMN FUCKING DIFFICULT.

Especially when there are really good shows on air right now. I can't help but let them load and then watch the episodes. BUT I MUST NOT. Time is VERY VERY precious.

Btw, did I mention I am studying to be a doctor, to get my MD, especially since I already got my RN. *winks*

Well, that has been my life since. Back to school in Med school.
