An unsettling feeling...

2009-02-25T07:22:00.001-08:00

I can't help but feel worried right now. If you've been following my posts, you would know I'm a worrisome person.There are a few events coming soon that I am not adequately confident about and that's definitely affecting my concentration. There are times I can deal with the stress but other times it just keeps bothering me like there's no tomorrow; it affects my ability to concentrate on

Getting there, one persevering step at a time...

Today marked some sort of a break from the incessant toxicity in CAMP. We just finished our Finals exam for the third Therapeutic Exercises subject (oh how hellish it was!) and the Laboratory counterpart for that isn't until next Friday. Even if there are a few things I have to type down (Taboo mechanics, activity proposals) and even if I have a Treatment Planning session I feel the need to

The truth is... I am IRON MAN...

2008-05-02T21:46:00.000-07:00

or at least I want to be.Last Labor Day proved to be a fulfilling day for movie going. Our excitement couldn't be more apparent when we arrived an hour early before the mall opened. We weren't alone in our excitement, however, as a big crowd of people was already waiting for the mall doors to open so they could get their hands on the first showing of IRON MAN. Getting there early was completely

Feeding my frustration

2008-04-23T23:46:00.000-07:00

I am not, in any way, artistic and I how I wish I am.Back in grade school and high school, I remember assignments that involved creating artworks. It's safe to say that I actually want to do these projects but they almost always end up horrendous. Sure they made the grade but they aren't worth keeping and is inevitably discarded in the trash bin. In college, we had our Art Appreciation class (

Schedule for next semester

2008-04-21T17:17:00.000-07:00

I just finished my pre-enlistment of subjects yesterday for the first semester of my fourth year. It's looking to be a very toxic load for us. I have five subjects this semester and I'll be taking one of them (OPST 199) on May 20, cutting short this well-deserved summer vacation. They scheduled it this way for the incoming OT and SP interns to compensate for the reported difficulties during

Ever since I was assigned the President position for the Association of Physical Therapy Students (APTS) for this coming academic year, I can't help but feel giddy about it. I've been wanting to involve myself with student organizations within the college but some personal issues deterred me from entering such commitments. Now on my fourth year, I've decided (and now more able) to take on the

The road to medicine school...

2008-04-05T17:17:00.000-07:00

is most certainly a difficult one.For months now I've been thinking hard about getting into medicine school. I understand that the requirements for this are going to be hard to achieve and this thought alone has gotten me worried. Will I ever be able to get into Med school? You're probably wondering how that isn't very hard. Many schools have reasonable standards that any hard-working student can

Vacation starts here, again... And me hating the "over-bloggers"...

2008-04-04T02:18:00.000-07:00

Contrary to my previous blog entry, I have not written a lot in my blog. I read this comic once that at first, people are led to make their own blog because they have something thought-provoking to write. But after that, people aren't able to come up with anything substantial. This is very much like what happens in my Multiply account. I log in, I check my Inbox and I see a list of blog entries

Vacation starts here

2007-12-19T19:12:00.000-08:00

Well actually, it started yesterday when the Lantern Parade was done. Now that I have more free time, maybe I can write more often on this blog now.Finally finished 'Salem's Lot. Awesome. Edge-of-your-seat vampire action!!!I have the American Gods book by Neil Gaiman. Umm, no comment yet. So far a guy had a fist fight with a 7-foot tall Leprechaun and a prostitute consumed a man through her vulva

I am currently abstaining from video-game playing and comic book reading (thanks to Demonoid for shutting down). Baby sitting is very much "unabstainable" but I can't just put that on my "About me" box. Still in thinking of something "witty". I'm still very much a of dreamer though.The Being Five blog is really good with the witty stuff.

Congratulations!!! You found my blog!!! Hehehe, forgot eh?!?! Anyway, I told you I'd show you pictures of Sam and Isabel during their school presentation. Also added are some pictures from when we visited the cemetery. Chog took some really nice pictures (which I wish I had taken). I love you sweetheart. <3>Click HERE to see it bigger.

I just had my enrollment yesterday and that can only mean that the start of the second semester is just around the corner. I don't know if I should be excited or scared about what's to come but I do know that I'll be ready. I still have a 16-unit load much like last sem but I have more subjects this time around. Rumor has it that this will be much harder than my first sem of major subjects. Also,

Before the semester ended, I told myself I'd blog about what happened during that first semester of CAMP proper. I was excited to write about the messy laboratory sessions with cadavers in Anatomy, the family interviewing in Human Development, the schizophrenia stories in MRL and the hellacious studying for Physiology exams.Well, that was the exciting stuff back then. Now, it's all about the

The Japanese fascinate me yet again and the Anatomy exam felt awkward

2007-07-13T22:17:00.000-07:00

If you expect something weird to be invented, you can count on the Japanese. Aside from the technological advancements they so generously donate to our ever-evolving society, they also manage to come up with the most obscure antics. Check out this episode of Human Tetris on Japanese TV. You'll be laughing your ass off.Now for an update on my life.We had our laboratory exam on Anatomy just

Things are really starting to get toxic in CAMP. I have a laboratory exam this Friday on Anatomy and I hope so much that I can cover all the necessary topics. I must admit I am nervous but somehow, I feel confident, more than I've ever felt about academics in my entire life. This school year, I've been excited and enthusiastic for my subjects unlike how I was in my first two years of college (

Countdown 'til study time (random thoughts)

2007-07-07T19:02:00.000-07:00

It's a Sunday morning and nobody's home but me and my mom. Nobody else is here! It's almost so surreal without my siblings in the house. Finally, I can be alone; finally, I can study in peace. I'm just savoring the last few minutes I have with the computer before I study (as if I'm not going to enjoy what I'm going to study).These past few days I learned the art of HTML and image embedding (

At home on Thursdays

2007-07-04T18:07:00.000-07:00

Four days a week I am a full time student. Most of the classes I have in school are only half-days which means I have the whole afternoon to myself. I can go to the CAMP library and study or I can spend time with my girlfriend or do whatever I wish. All of these make me feel that the time I spent was worthwhile. It's a no-brainer that if I'm given a whole day to myself, I can make the most of

This may be the beginning of a more expressive "me". Ask the people that know me... Yup, there is no one to ask. I am (quite frankly) an introvert; I separate from the majority and prefer to reside in my own world. Only a few people get to take a peek into my world, and those who do are the only people that I really trust. Maybe it was the way I was reared during my childhood that I've grown to
