It seems like Everyone I Know is Getting Married
Really. It seems like everybody is getting married nowadays. Four of my 1st year co-residents got engaged and are planning to get hitch this year. I wanna ask them, however did they find Mr. Right? Because for me, its jsut sooooo damn hard. Being a doctor and training…etcetera..etcetera.etcetera. (excuses, excuses, excuses 
But I guess, they did find the perfect guy for them AND train at the same time. I hope i will too. It’s getting to the part where my relatives are soooo annoying when they ask me why I’m still single. As if I wanna be single. Duh.
Anyway, perfect guy…where the heck are you? !As in. Please come and rescue you me from all the blind dates, blind textmates and not-so-subtle embarassing questions from all my relatives.
As in. Please hurry up. S.O.S.

Life By Far
Right now I’m in one of the most difficult rotation in my 1st year pediatric residency training here in PGH. I’m so tired everyday from all the things that i need to do for my patients. It’s a given to eat and drink just once for the entire day and have swollen feet because you’re always on the go and you don’t have time to put your feet up. It’s very tiring but i just take one day at a time and know that i’m learning leaps and bounds everyday. So i just bear with it and know that i will become the best pediatrician that i can be.So just, Aja! Aja! Fighting everyday!

Hana Yori Dango Korean Version
I would never get tired of the story of Hana Yori Dango, whether it be the taiwanese version (Meteor Garden), Hana Yori Dango (Japanese Version), Hana Yori Dango Anime and of course the original manga. Let’s talk about the latest—korean version. When i heard that they were gonna make a korean version, i could hardly wait to be hook on it. And i wasn’t dissappointed. Goo Jun-Pyo, Jihoo and Jan Di’s love triangle made me cry, laugh and go gaga all over. But don’t you agree that Goo Jun-Pyo looks a lot like Dao Ming Si in certain angles? He’s also so hot! He’s a lot more violent than Dao Ming Si though (review the way he punches and kicks other people and he also dared to pull the collar of Jan Di when he got jealous!!!). But the love and the desperation he feels when Jan Di is in danger is the same as Dao Ming Si when San Cai is also. Both of them are childish and as single minded as ever. Both of them are just so lovable. About Jihoo and Hua Ze Lei, they’re both hunks also but i like Jihoo more because he’s more expressive and he’s feelings for Jan Di are not vague like Lei. He really told Jan Di that he likes her and the only reason he didn’t start anything with her is because of Jun Pyo
One comment though, I’ve been waiting for the famous declaration of Dao Ming Si/ Domuouji : ” Even in the depths of hell, I will follow you…” I was expecting Jun Pyo to say it in episode 11 when he allowed those people to beat him just to save Jan Di but he didn’t. I feel like that episode is lacking something because he didn’t say it. 
I could go on and on about the similarities and differences of Dao Ming Si, Domuouji and Goo Jun Pyo and also Makino,San Cai and Jan Di. But it doesn’t really matter. I would still go sleepless just so I could sit in front of my computer and watch the latest episode.It doesn’t matter that i’ve watched, read and heard the storyline many times before. That’s the main point. The story is just so great that they could make a United Nations Version of it and it would still be a hit :-) Can’t wait for the next sleepless night.Hehehe:-)

Sayonara
Are you a fan of the phenomenal Harry Potter series? Well, I am. I remember reading the first book and feeling so happy about it. It felt like i’m inside another world and everything is so interesting and wonderful. Eagerly i wait for each new novel, frustrated but still anticipating because i know J.K. Rowling would not disappointment me. Once i get my hands on that new novel, i would feel as giddy as a 7 year old and i know i would be at my happiest. After the last installment of the series, i felt satisfied because everything came together finally. But i also had feelings of sadness because i knew that was the end of Harry Potter. Nothing will follow after that.Never would i be left wondering and imagining what would happen next. Never would I wait when the next series would be released. Never would i have the joy of opening the first page of the newest book.
My life is something like that right now. For a long time, I eagerly anticipated and at the same time felt frustrated. I felt the joys and the pains of that feeling. I was also in that stage of being giddy, of being sad, of always imagining what our ending would be like. But when finally the conclusion came, I felt relieved because the waiting would finally be over. But I also felt sadness because I know i would never felt this way again. Never would i again feel the power of a glance, a smile or a word. Never would i lie awake thinking what would happen next. In this life, I would never again be this frustrated or this giddy. That’s why it’s sadness and joy at the same time.
Sayonara to all of these feelings….
Sayonara to you…

This Wonderful World of Moonlighting
I’ve been moonlighting for over 8 months now. For the most part, it’s been great. The pay is good, the patients are 80% of the time non-toxic, the Atending physicians are most of the time ok (some are really MD’s from hell who came down here on earth to make my life miserable ) and I get along with most of the people i work with.
It’s been smooth sailing majority of the time that I don’t want to leave this kind of life. I don’t want to become a lowly 1st year resident in some bigtime hospital where they treat you like dirt. I don’t want to go back to that life of being always on the edge, being blamed for everything by the senior residents, sleepless forever, underpaid and overworked.I want to just continue being like this: working in the hospital in my hometown, living in my home, sleeping on my bed, being able to attend special occasions with my family and just be there with my family. (sigh)
But I know that I can’t be forever moonligthing. Sooner or later I’ll be bored and i’ll want to become a specialist in my chosen field. So i guess, i’ll just have to gird my loins and just do it.
Maybe it’s just the fatigue that’s talking. I just spent 8 hours assisting in 2 major operations today and I’m duty 24 hours tomorrow. So maybe i’ll change my mind tomorrow.I’ll just think hard about those attending physicians from hell.I can imagine demons wearing stetoscopes or maybe fire-breathing dragons in a white coat. I’ll just continue thinking this and maybe by next week, I can’t wait for residency training .hehe:-)

Waiting For this Very Stupid Download
Argh! Smartbro is very slow now. I’m downloading the latest episode of Sauinkoku Monogatari and its taking forever!!!! It’s soooo frustrating because I really, really, really wanna watch it. So to vent off my steam,I decided to write what I’m thinking right now. Here goes.I just got back from Cebu for my mom’s quarterly check up with her surg-onco doctor. Everything is okay (thank God!), so we spent the rest of the time shopping! Yehey!
Anyway, me and my classsmates (med) are going to Camigiun Island next month. We’re staying for 3 days and two nights. That’s something to look forward to. I think it’s time we get to unwind, relax and forget the hospital, our patients and the demanding consultants for three days. That would be pure bliss! Hehe:-)
Some of my classmates are even planning on going to Hongkong but I’ve been there. I’m more interested in going to Korea. My sister is pestering me about it. Hmmm, I’ll go there when I could come up with the cash needed.Ofcourse!Hehe:-) But I’m also interested in going to Boracay. Maybe I’ll join some of my classmates (med) who are going there this June (i think). So the plan is, Camiguin next month, Boracay next next month and maybe Korea next,next,next month. Phew! I really need to go work hard for all these. Here I go, huffing and puffing, and huffing and puffing some more.hehe:-)

My Own Lenovo Y410
I wanna tell the world that I deserve a pat on the back because after being supported by my parents and siblings for hundreds of years (hehe:-)), I finally was able to work and earn my own dough. I’m sure they had a very grateful sigh when I passed the med boards…lol…
After splurging on that Hongkong trip, my next goal was to buy my own laptop. So I puff and huff, and i puff and I huff some more And as of last week, I finally did! Yipee! I said goodbye to my old IBM notebook (which my mom gave me in med school) and said hello to my new Lenovo 410. And mind you, I’m really taking good care of it. It’s really different when it’s you who paid for it with your own money.hehe:-)
Let’s look again at my goals before residency training.
1. Trip to Hongkong?—check.
2. Buying my own Laptop?—check.
3. Learning to drive?—-working on it
4. Finding a boyfriend?…lol—-also working on it!Hahaha:-)
5. Trip to Korea?—-almost there.Yehey!
Here I go huffing and puffing, and huffing and puffing some more…haha:-)
Korea here I come…:-)

Finally, I’ll Meet Donald…..(Duck!) :-)
AT the age of 28 years, I’ll finally go and meet the men of my dreams. Namely, Donald, Mickey, Pince Charming, Aladdin etc. Hehe:-) Kinda lame sounding but I’m really excited. For the second time in my life, I’ll travel abroad, meet and feel a new culture and most importantly, I’ll go there with my own pocket money earned by myself. I guess I won’t buy anything then. Hehehe:-) I just learned recently that I’m quite tightfisted when it comes to spending my hard earned dough. Well, i guess that’s just natural (sorry mother for spending my allowance so freely before).
That’s all that’s new in my life ight now. I’m gonna have a great time meeting the men of my dreams. Mickey here I come….:-)
