Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall, humpty dumpty had a great fall, all the king's horses and all the king's men, couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again. So what they did was make scrambled eggs out of Humpty Dumpty, served it for breakfast for little Miss Muffet who was incidentally eating Mary's little lamb. Hmmmm...my nursery rhyme has gone bloody but then nobody can save Humpty Dumpty now. He's a scrambled egg and with the way the global temperatures are going, Humpty is going to be a fried one really soon. But some order has to be placed in this crazy world of nursery rhymes. In fact, there is no rhyme to that nursery rhyme I just mentioned. Somebody has to rescue Humpty, and the first person that comes to mind is Jack, nimble and quick, who can jump over candlesticks, (Take that, Super Inggo!). Rumor has it though that Jack preferred climbing beanstalks and wrestling with giants and selling cows for a bag of worthless beans. A fair trade, perhaps but not really profitable. Hey, isn't that a story and not a nursery rhyme? Either way, the word is out and even before Mother Goose can write another rhyme, them three blind mice are at it again. (See how they run). Am I making any sense? Maybe in the world of tupsy-turvy-ness I do, but anyway, who does make sense nowadays?

Anyway, countdown to end of PGIship is starting. Life of a PostGraduate Intern Blog shall close its chapter but a new subtitle will be posted on May. Unfortunately, the new blog shall be open only to bloggers at www.blogger.com. because details in the blog shall be formatted a la personal diary. Life of a Struggling Young Parent shall be the new blog-chapter for The Freudian Slip. For those however who are looking forward to opinions and reactions, they shall all be contained in The Slaughterhouse (http://macellarius.blogspot.com). And for those curious where I placed that blog entry, hmmmmm.....it's right there floating somewhere in the world wide web. Anyway, in connection to that particular issue (and this will be my last say on that) I had conversations with some C.I.'s (clinical instructors) who are now rotating with their students in the hospital where I am rotating as an intern and I had very interesting conversations with them. But I am glad it did turn out fine for them and I will surely miss most of them, especially the su-ki, the regulars, who I usually share my 24-hour duties with either in the wards or DR/Nursery/OR.

P.S. Kudos to Snow White for raising arms and shaking her tailfeathers while Sleepy was wide awake.

Visita Iglesia: Tracing The Pilgrim's StepsIn Europe Part Two

Town-hopping from one historic place to another in Europe has given me the opportunity to appreciate not only the local colors but at the same time the wonderful architecture of the place, especially its churches and cathedrals. More than just the structural beauty, the story behind every building is equally astounding. 1. Messina, Sicily, Italy - I happened to walk around town all by myself and I found my way to the Doumo of Messina. This historic Cathedral boasts its very tall bell tower which every noon time sounds the alarm with a spectacular show of moving statues adorning the bell tower and the church. Inside the church are huge statues of Christ's apostles. The park right outside the Cathedral is beautiful as well, with locals gathering to talk with friends or find some private moment with a book and a cappuccino in a nearby restaurant. 2. St. Peter's Basilica - I found myself truly blessed when I had the opportunity to visit Rome and stand at St. Peter'...

When Dining Inside A Museum: Romulo Cafe

-
Image
Last night, the Zuellig Family Foundation held its annual Christmas Party at the Romulo Cafe in Makati. It was my first time to step inside Romulo Cafe but it was not as intimidating as some high class restos are. It is definitely a highly recommended place to dine or hang out with family and friends, whether you are talking about the most trivial things in life or closing a business deal. Romulo Cafe is named after the famous Filipino diplomat, Carlos P. Romulo. History class would teach us that Romulo was the first President of the United Nations General Assembly. It is owned by the granddaughter of the diplomat and the idea was not only to share good food but also good lessons in history. Upon entering the restaurant, one would not miss the many framed pictures highlighting the many moments in the life of Carlos Romulo. The second floor appears to be almost like a museum. The maze like pattern of the wall paper creates a contemporary atmosphere but the comfortable sofas and pil...

The Weekend in Tallinn

I have just come back from Helsinki where we spent 2 days for the practical part of our Global health course. I am now blogging from Tampere, tired and with a sore back. During the weekend, we have been carrying our backpacks and running around Tallinn, the beautiful capital of Estonia. It was my second European country to visit and I loved the place. It was beautiful and the old medieval buildings almost brought me to another dimension. For one, the trip going to Tallinn from Helsinki was already exciting. It was my first boat ride across the Baltic Sea, aboard Viking Express. The ship was huge and inside the ship was a grocery, dozens of food shops and bars, a dance floor, even a couple of playrooms for the kids. It was almost surreal. When we docked at Tallinn, it was a long walk to our Hotel where we immediately left our bags and headed outside to the Old Town where a lot of tourists were also finding their way in the labyrinthine cobblestone streets of the historic city. Of course...
