DOCTORS

Doctors by Erich Segal

At the novel's heart is the unforgettable relationship of Barney Livingston and Laura Castellano, childhood friends who separately find unsettling celebrity and unsatisfying love - until their friendship ripens into passion. Yet even their devotion to each other, even their medical gifts may not be enough to save the one life they treasure above all others.

"oh,oh, to touch and feel a girl's vagina, ah heaven!" hehe galing diba? hindi ko akalain na talaga palang ginagamit noon pa yung pnemonics na yun. natuwa talaga ko. yun lang.

ACCIDENTALLY INLOVE

accidentally inlove

i wish i had the personality that wud impress you,

i hope i had the ability that wud satisfy ur needs

i wish i had the face that wud catch your eyes,

i hope i cud be the person that you'd need...

i love u and truly mean this,

and i guess i am so doing my best to win your heart,

i am taking the risk and grabbing the chance i have,

although you're not giving me much time, it'sok...

even you're not sharing much attention,it's ok...

I am being a good friend to you,

trying to share the wisdom I have,

I find ways to make you smile,

showing that i am always by your side,

touching your life in anyway i can,

trying to penetrate into your life,

hiding my weakness so that you'd know how strong i cud be for you...

look at me now, this is all for you.

I admire you, your honesty and humility...

I am fascinated with your face...

I fantasized always being with you...

I dream having you mine...

I confessed...

But, as time passes by,

I thought that you're getting far from me...

no matter how i stretched my arms, i won't reach you...

I thought that you really are just a dream to me,

i can't have in reality...

I really have fallen for you and it kills me tohold myslelf back.

I can't hate you, or push you away from me...

it hurts me deeply when i am reminded that i can't call you mine...

so i guess i just have to take this feeling away

cuz this makes me weak,

have to force myself to pretend until this fades away,

so that i cud be the strong friend that you really need and want...

i am doing this so, because i can not afford to lose you...

nice poem di ba? ehehe... nakakarelate kaya i pasted it here. :) well, this was posted by a classmate of mine sa friendster. ken, sencia na i posted it here. hehe :) wala lang. sobrang tinamaan ako eh. hehe kung sino ka man na gusto kong patamaan sa poem na to, well, hindi mo na malalaman pa. haha.. yun lang...

Some people...

hay... i just dont get it, why do some people tend not to know even the simplest things in life! shets! o ako lang itong nag aakalang mababaw ang mga concepts ko well in fact malalim pala? hmmm.... ewan ko... nakakainis lang kasi kung minsan. parang sobrang simple na nga, hindi pa rin nila magets? shux! kailangan ko bang magtagalog ng malalim para sa mga ganung bagay? hay.. ewan ko.. nabuo lang sa isip ko simula ng pumasok ako sa pag memed na malawak at intelehente ang mga taong makakasalamuha ko... na sa kahit anung aspeto ng buhay eh they know something kahit konti lang at least may alam di ba? well, i was so wrong with that. may mga taong ganun pala, na kahit napakasimple na ng pinaguusapan, para sa kanya malalim at wala talaga siyang kaideidea about it. hmm... simpleng pagooperate ng computer kailangan pang iaasa sau? i mean, someone living this time and age you cant operate on a computer? weird, pero its true. ewan ko. nakakainis lang. para bang lahat na lang you have to supply kasi hindi niya alam? hay, anu nga bang alam ng mga ganitong tao? hmm... they're just living in a world na ang alam lang ay pharmacokinetics, necrosis, GI bleeding, hematemesis at kung anu anu pang medical terms jan! hmm.. panu na yung situation sa labas ng mundong yun? panu na yung reality? hindi ko alam kung ikaiinis ko o maaawa ako sa mga ganun.. pero eto lang, hindi siya nakakahawa. hehe kasi kung nakakahawa malamang pati ako ganito na din. well, nakakapagbasa pa naman ako ng pocketbooks, nakakapagsulat pa rin naman ako sa blog, updated pa rin naman ako sa iba't ibang bagay.. naisip ko wala lang ba silang interes sa mga ganun? o sadyang sineclude na nila ang mga sarili nila sa outside world? hmmm... ewan.. napatunayan ko lang lalo na medical people are boring. hehe... up to the extent na wala ng kayang iconverse kundi kung paano ang mechanism of action ng antihelminthic drugs! haha.. yun lang. gusto ko lang pagkatuwaan ang mga taong nakapaligid sa kin -- medical students who dont know what reality means...

FREAKY DAY!!!!

yesterday was freaky to me.. hmm... why? i dreamt twice. imagine in 1 day you dreamt about some freaky thing. and it was almost related to each other, actually not almost but totally related. my first dream was about me loosing my teeth after brushing. well, not just a tooth but 3 of my molars went off. our family is so much superstitious on almost everything! i myself do believe on it. well, because of first hand experiences and there's no harm naman if you would follow such things. loosing a tooth in a dream meant that you may lose someone close to you. ano pa kaya ang 3 ngipin na natanggal di ba? i was so freaked out! so after ive taken my morning rituals, elders say that when you had a dream about something like that you should bite to a tree trunk to counteract the jinx! well, i did that! but my whole day was so full of anxiety! GeeZ! i have an exam for the following day and i cant concentrate with it, so i decided to just go to sleep again. and what a surprise and i got my second dream! shux! i dreamt of my tito homer having a car accident with a couple which happens to be parents of one of my friends but i really dont know who is that friend of mine. well, what a dream di ba? parang puro patay. mami told me that tulog kasi ako ng tulog kaya kung anu-ano daw ang pumapasok sa utak ko. well, prayers are the best counteract for all of these right? i just prayed and told Him that if there's such a thing that would come into reality, let it be me na lang. hmm... well, that's my story..

lesson learned!

a few days back i was thinking of something to write. hmm.. something with some sense and can be criticize by my ever loving friends! hehe but i end up greeting them :) well, now i have something in my mind that needed some honest opinion from my ever greatful friends! hmm... it happened last friday, i didnt go to school coz there's nothing to do. instead i stayed home and pretent to study because its our finals.hehe and thinking that i havent missed anything for that day. i mean from the paper works, passing of reports and all that. i thought i've finished it so it wont matter if i wont come to school. so my day was fine, pretending to study but most of the time i was asleep. hehe at around 4 pm my classmate txt me and ask if i was able to pass my expt in microbiology. hmm,.. well, unfortunately i havent. so i did text my friendly friends from school if they did pass their micro.. i wasnt surprised with the reaction but made me think that there was some sarcasm to her reply. no one reminded me of that expt. well, a little fault in my part , well a huge one i suppose, cause it slipped my mind. hmm.. being the emotional person, and i admit it, it got me into thinking that neither one of them realized that i was missing the whole day and no one dared to text me. hay.. i find it so sad to realized things like that. i mean, it was just a simple thing, but it really mattered to me. i mean what if i was really missing? oh well, i know i have to be responsible for myself. its just that i was so comfortable with them and into some extent dependent on them. which was wrong, i know.. it gave me a lesson, that no matter how comfortable you are to the people surrounding you, and thinking that they are your confidante, well, you should be always in your guard and be responsible to what you do.. well, it was sad but i learned something. its shallow but hey, shallow things can make you a better person! :) ciao!

congratulations!

exhausted to the max ang week na to. hay... hindi pa rin ako nakakabawi sa tulog pero oks lang. malapit na kasi ang exams kaya ganun. well, anu bang kwento? hmm... as usual toxic sa school. hmm.. gusto ko nga palang batiin ang mga classmates kong pumasa ng med tech board exam! ang galing nila. weekend lang mga nag aral. :) kakaiba. mga super humans yata. congrats din sa mga friends na nag ka gf at bf jan. hehe kilala niyo na kung sinu sino kayo.hehe batiin portion to. kasi nakakalimutan kong bumati ng personal. hehe sinu-sino pa ba? hapi birthday nga pala kay bea, ang pinsan kong maldita. hehe yun lang. wala na kong mabati eh. nay, hello. walang sawang taga tingin ng blog ko! hehe kay paolo, ferdie, mga lolo, hapi ako for the both of you. mabuhay kayo! :) hehe yun lang. wala lang. basta lang may maisulat ako.

I LOVE MEDICINE!

hay.. what a day.. i had my pre final exams on pharmacology. after that our group had a meeting about our clinicopathologic conference, in short a cpc... our case was that of GoodPasture's syndrome pero ang dami pa pala niyang sakit aside from that. nakakaloka kahit na puro tawa lang ang ginawa ko the whole afternoon. nalipasan pa kami ng gutom. hay.. karir to para sa pagpasa ko sa pathology. ehehe napakahirap! nwei, ngayon ko lang narerealize na nilalamon na pala talaga ako ng medicine. i havent got the time to see the movies i want to watch. hay.. nagtambak na nga yung mga gusto kong panoorin. ehehe... nakakalungkot lang. sasabayan pa ng lahat ng nakapaligid sayo eh may mga special someone! shet! what a life! mas lalo kong nanlumo. hehe imagine sa mga friends ko from school, ako na lang ang walang bf? di bale anjan naman si robbins (my patho book) i know he'll take good care of me. wahaha desperado ang dating. :) but im hapi for them kahit OP na ko from the talks about their bfs. geez! lalake lang yan! hahaha... wala lang. walang mapupulot na aral from this. its just a simple entry from a medicine student with a miserable life! hahaha

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN

Brokeback Mountain
By Ray Bennett


Bottom line: Epic story about two men in love with the West, and each other.This review was written for the festival screening of "Brokeback Mountain." VENICE, Italy -- Everything you ever imagined about the characters of John Wayne and Montgomery Clift in "Red River" or Joel McCrea and Randolph Scott in "Ride the High Country" is revealed candidly in Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain," an epic Western about forbidden love.Anne Proulx's 1997 short story in the New Yorker has been masterfully expanded by screenwriters Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana to provide director Lee with his best movie since "Sense and Sensibility" in 1995.Featuring scenes filmed in the fabulous Canadian Rockies of Alberta and boasting a fine cast topped by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, "Brokeback Mountain" will appeal to moviegoers who enjoy grand filmmaking and poignant love stories, whether gay, hetero or otherwise.The film, which screened in competition at the Venice International Film Festival, follows two men, Ennis Del Mar (Ledger) and Jack Twist (Gyllenhaal), and their love for each other that in the hide-bound and traditional world of the American West they must keep hidden, fearful not only of scandal but also for their lives.Ennis and Jack meet in 1963 when they each show up looking for a summer's work herding sheep on Brokeback Mountain, Wyoming, on land owned by no-nonsense rancher Joe Aguirre (Randy Quaid). In order to keep his herd safe, Aguirre is happy to break regulations by requiring one of his men to roam high in the mountains, sleeping rough with no fire, while the other maintains a base camp with a one-man tent throughout the summer and into the fall.There's nothing romantic about herding huge numbers of four-legged beasts left to range far and wide, and cowboys pretty much have cornered whatever romance there is in rugged outdoor animal husbandry. Riding herd on sheep guaranteed a horseman a hard time in old Westerns, but Ennis and Jack make the most of it, even if their diet is mostly beans.They don't talk much, but Ennis speaks of being raised by his brother and sister after their parents died in a car crash, and of a woman named Alma he plans to marry. Jack tells of stern parents and working the Texas rodeo circuit. The scenery is breathtakingly gorgeous but their days are hard, with bears and coyotes threatening, and the biting mountain cold, and the two men soon come to rely on each other totally.One night, Ennis decides to sleep by the fire rather than head off to his lonely post, but in the wee small hours, with the fire dead, he's freezing. Jack yells at him to join him in his tent. A simple human gesture in sleep prompts a frantic coupling that in the cold light of morning each man is quick to dismiss.The summer ends, and as time goes by Ennis marries Alma (Michelle Williams) and Jack weds Lureen (Anne Hathaway), and they each have kids. The men's shared passion keeps its fire, however, and their affection and need for each other grows. Over the years, they contrive to spend time together back on Brokeback Mountain. Always there is the threat of exposure and the fear it breeds.Pulitzer Prize-winner McMurtry ("Lonesome Dove") and Ossana, his writing partner since 1993 who has shepherded the project for eight years, use a large canvas for what is really an intimate story. They develop the secondary characters with great insight and compassion. The women in the lives of Ennis and Jack are given full attention, and the acting, especially by Williams, Hathaway and Kate Mara, as Ennis' daughter Alma at age 19, is deeply affecting.The fine details of the West are as precise as you would expect from a McMurtry piece, and Lee's adroitness with the excellent cast is on full display, particularly in the brave and moving performances of Ledger and Gyllenhaal.The dusty towns of Wyoming and Texas are contrasted with the spectacular Canadian Rockies, splendidly filmed by Rodrigo Prieto, and the film benefits enormously from composer Gustavo Santaolalla's melodic and plangent score.

Troubled Mind!

hay... what a week.. im experiencing dull days. hmm.. im not sad but really troubled. thinking about many things and i can't quite resolve it. its not like me. i usually have a drive on doing things especially when it involves school work. but now i felt like i really dont care if i dont submit my papers on time, i dont care if i miss a lecture. id rather stay home and sleep! hmm.. i dont care if i didnt study for tomorrow's exams. hay... im thinking of quitting medical school. i mean to find sime time really to think if this is what i really want. i was so ashamed of myself last friday, we had our practical exam on physical diagnosis, i halfheartedly study for it just to get it over with. while being the patient of my classmate, my mind was on a whirlwind of thoughts. thinking that i cant hardly report the result of what i have done to the patient. what will happen to me in the future, when i continue to be like this? i mean, can i save lives for such an attitude? i dont think so. i want to tell it to mommy kasi talagang im beginning not to enjoy what im doing. parang nagsasawa ako. i really need some time off to get my nerves to relaxed. ewan ko, dahil ba sa dami talaga ng ginagawa kaya ganun na lang ako or im not really progressing from this. i dont know.. nwei, i hope i can get through this. i really hope...

These are, these are

The confessions of a broken heart

And I wear all your old clothes, your polo sweater

I dream of another you

The one who would never (never)

Leave me alone to pick up the pieces

A daddy to hold me, that's what I needed

So why'd you have to go

Why'd you have to go

Why'd you have to go!!

TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE

Tuesdays with Morrie
by Mitch Albom
Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it.
For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago.
Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger?
Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final "class": lessons in how to live.

Class with a bang!

this day actually was a little bit boring, nung umpisa. the usual thing. boring lectures sa surgery.hay.. for two hours nakaupo ka, trying to understand all what the doctor's saying.feeling ko nga alien ang kaharap ko at hindi ko siya maintindihan pero dapat intindihin. hehe ang topic namin ay tungkol sa burns. ewan ko, but surgery really doesnt interest me at all. hmm.. looking forward ako sa lunch.hehe kaya scribble scribble kahit pahapyaw lang ang intindi ko sa mga sinasabi ni doc.finally, surgery was over! hahaha lunch na!at ang sarap ng ulam namin, sinigang na hipon! sarap! then, next class ko at 1 pm pero dumating kami almost 2 pm na. hehe eto na isa din sa mga mahirap intindihin na subject, family medicine. sakto lang ang dating namin ng mga classmates ko pag pasok ni dr. joves. pinuwesto ko ang sarili ko sa mejo gilid at likod ng classroom.my usual seat para walang makapansin sa kin. hehe... akala ko boring,at inaantok pa nga ako pero ng nagsalita na si doc na parang may nagaaway sa loob ng classroom namin nawala ang antok ko! wala pang mic un, paano pa kaya kapag meron. nabasag nga yata eardrum ko eh. hehe 1 pm to 6pm ang klase namin sa kanya! wahaha... kaya pala napansin ko lahat ng tao mejo nasa likod dahil siya ang professor. all throughout his lecture naging tachycardic ako. nakalulon yata siya ng megaphone.hehe natuwa na rin ako kahit ang heart rate ko yata eh sumampa ng 100 beats per minute. :) nagtatanong nga yung mga tao sa labas ng room namin bakit may sumisigaw daw sa loob, sabi namin si doc joves naglelecture. natawa na lang sila. at sinabing its now our time para maranasan ang madagundong na buhay sa likod ng family medicine. hahaha lesson learned, kapag siya ang prof magdala ng ear plugs!!! wahahaha... :)

WIN

Brian Mcknight

Dark is the night

I can battle the storm

Never say die

I've been down this road before

I'll never quit

I'll never lay down,

mmSee I promised myself that I'd never let me down[1]

- I'll never give up

Never give in

Never let a ray of doubt slip in

And if I fall

I'll never fail

I'll just get up and try again

Never lose hope

Never lose faith

There's much too much at stake

Upon myself I must depend

I'm not looking for place ashore

I'm gonna win

I'll stop at nothing

There's still a ways to go, oh

Someway, somehow

Whatever it takes, I know

I'll never quit, no no

I'll never go down, mm, mm

I'll make sure they remember my name

A hundred years from now

[Repeat 1]

When it's all said and done

My once in a lifetime will be back again

Now is the time

To take a stand

Here is my chance

That's why I...

[Repeat 1]

Mmm, I'm gonna win
