Call it superstitious but right after the Mass this morning, those of us who are planning to take the boards in Cebu have realized that our date of departure will be on July 7, 2007, at around 7:15 a.m. July , the seventh month, on the seventh day on 2007 at the 7th hour of the day. 7-7-7-7! Talk about good vibes for the group. Call it coincidence but I have a gut feeling everything has already been pre-destined. We never really realized it until this morning. So after the mass, everyone huddled inside the priest's sacristy where we all got a special blessing from him. Coincidentally, the priest was a former classmate's cousin, who is also taking up her post-graduate internship today. The prayer was really for a 100% passing rate. Earlier during the day, while I was also typing a letter for the Center of Lasallian Ministries (CELAM), I received an email from a professor of mine in the medical school. He was my former boss in the department of medicine while I was an intern and ...

Father in heaven, we come before you with humble hearts, your servants and children, seeking your mercy and grace. As the pioneer class of 2006 of the University of Saint La Salle College of Medicine prepare themselves to take the national medical boards this August, we pray that you remember them and find favor in their hardwork and sacrifices. Father in heaven, we pray that you give them a ready mind, a calm heart, an alert spirit, so that they may be able to answer without doubt or confusion the questions they will tackle in their exams. Guide them throughout the period of examination. Guide them as they study for the exams. Guide them as they take their exams. And console their hearts once they have done their exams. Give them faith and strength and erase the anxiety and fear from their hearts. Father in heaven, You who is most generous with all the blessings, we pray that once the exams are over, your servants and children shall be rewarded with a 100% passing rate in the boards. ...

wrote it in spanish so that it would not be easy to decipher. (Escribiólo en español para que no sea fácil de descifrar. ) ¿A la persona que frecuenta este blog, ahora usted sabe? Es chistoso que en este mundo que es una mascarada, todas máscaras del uso al bailar al mismo aire. sólo verdad persiste en ser desviado en este mundo rutinario. era que los que hablan la verdad es recompensada. eso estuvo en los días antiguos, cuándo personas creen que hay un Dios y que hombres son hechos del polvo. ahora que el mundo contemporáneo ha venido, los que hablan la verdad es cualquier amenazado, hizo para parecer que ellos son los tipos malos, y los que gozan la conveniencia a que estas mentiras traen la vuelta fuera Sea el héroe. cómo deseo que seamos devueltos al mundo donde dinosaurios vagan y los brutos no supieron nada pero para dibujar el palo las figuras en cuevas y prueba para empezar por enésima vez un fuego. la vida habría sido mucho más simple. ¿A la persona que frecuenta este blog, ve...

I am leaving for Cebu on July 7 and its already 12 days more until I will be separated briefly from family and close friends. I have decided much earlier that I will be taking my board exams in Cebu out of convenience. I am still attending my regular review at school...irregularly. I have studied enough but not really enough for the boards. So, as soon as I arrive in Cebu, the final phase of the review shall begin.

They had to go. I have been taking good care of them for more than a year already. I have nursed them with every sweeties I could lay my hands on. I took good care of them, really. Ignored their misbehavings. Rewarded them instead with handfuls of countless analgesics. And what did they repay me? Miserable episodes of toothaches. So, I decided, after a year of discerning what to do (and how to pay for their extraction), I made an appointment with my classmate's mom, who is a dentist, and made her take a look at my babies. She agreed. They had to go. Of the molars I have, including my wisdom tooth, all are bummed. Perhaps the most bummed of all were my two lower and upper molars on my left lower and upper jaw, including my left wisdom tooth. So I went to her clinic last Wednesday, and waited for my first tooth extraction ever since I could ever remember. I never knew what to expect then. I have never really seen how a dentist would extract a molar, let alone two or three molars. I w...

How do you teach the male reproductive system to grade 5 students? Three weeks ago, an old high school classmate and friend JR asked me to be one of his resource speaker for his class. The topic was male reproductive system. "Parang Sex Ed," that's what he texted me. I didn't bother asking what class although I was told it was going to be an all boys lecture. I already assumed that it was a lecture for the high school. JR is teaching in his family's school in Silay, The St. Francis of Assissi School, a supervised school of the University of Saint La Salle. So I studied my male reproductive system, from Anatomy to Physiology, including the hormones and the sexually transmitted diseases that are familiar to boys. I reviewd the physiology of erection, ejaculation, and the hormones involved in the development of secondary sexual characteristics. I also prepared myself for the possible "extraneous" questions. The questions that usually come from the "sma...

Pastor:(to the groom) "Jaja, will you cause Ricca (bride) pain?" Groom: "I might..." Pastor:"Is this your intention?" Groom: "No..never." My wife and I was honored to have been invited to an old friend's wedding last Saturday at La Proa, L' fisher Hotel. The solemnity and formality of the occasion has brought me to both a sense of out-of-place and in-the-zone. Out-of-place because I wasn't in my most "formal" wear. In-the-zone because weddings like this remind me of the wedding I never had and the wedding I will be having. Pastor:(to the groom) "Jaja, will you cause Ricca (bride) pain?" Groom: "I might..."

It has been 5 years since I enrolled in the University of Saint La Salle College of Medicine. Along with 44 other students, I made history. All 45 of us became the first batch of medical students of the University of Saint La Salle Bacolod. We were the first medical students in the entire Negros Island. Four years later, only 26 of us would graduate. These 26 would therefore become the pioneer batch of USLS College of Medicine. These 26 in a few weeks time will be taking the boards and hopefully will once again make another historical landmark in the history of the USLS College of Medicine. I still remember how I started as a medical student. I started with hopeful anticipation. I was then newly married and my wife was expecting our eldest. During the orientation on the first day of school, I was honored to have made a speech in behalf of the first scholars of the school. In my speech, as far as I can remember, I was sharing to the audience who were my professors and classmates how luc...

..that's it. I guess it is pretty self-explanatory. Busy week for me here. My tooth is aching (again), my mind is going insane (what else is new) and I am rushing to cram in all of my notes inside my "little grey cells" just in time for the boards. ..that's it.

My tooth is aching (again), my mind is going insane (what else is new) and I am rushing to cram in all of my notes inside my "little grey cells" just in time for the boards. I am also busy trying to start this new blogsite, The Deposit of Faith , this reflects my other side as a person. I do hope this one gets some support as well. So, I am running off again. Busy...busy...busy... P.S. belated happy independence day

Since its first season, I have been a total genuine fan of HBO's TV Series, Rome. And you don't need to be a history buff to appreciate this TV series. A joint production between HBO and the BBC, 'Rome' was created by John Milius, William Macdonald and Bruno Heller. The series is shot throughout Italy and boasts the largest standing film set in the world, comprising five acres of backlot and six soundstages at the world-famous Cinecittà Studios. For first timers, the show is about Rome and its citizens, particularly her most popular and even infamous characters. As described in its synopsis, "Half a century before the dawn of Christianity, Rome has become the wealthiest city in the world, a cosmopolitan metropolis of one million people — epicenter of a sprawling empire. Founded on principles of shared power and fierce personal competition, the Republic was created to prevent any one man from seizing absolute control. It is a society where soldiers can rise up from ...

I have a confession to make. I never wanted to be a doctor in the beginning. As far as I can remember, I wanted to be a scientist. When I was in elementary, I have always been fascinated with science and space and experiments and research and all those sort of stuff. I was always delighted by stuff related to the subject. My first set of books I received as a gift was the set of Young People's science encyclopedia. When the years transitioned to the age of computers, the first CD-ROM I bought for my PC was a set of Grolier's science encyclopedia. However, while I was falling in love with science, I was not really faithful to her. Besides Science, I was deeply in love with The Arts, particularly poetry and prose. When I was barely 8 years old, I would "write" books, turning old notebooks into either a "comic book" or a "pocket book". I used to keep them in bundles, writing stories in my not-so-perfect english or drawing up comic book characters with...

I just got from my review and we were reviewing Pulmonary topics for Internal Medicine. It was a brain-draining review, tackling all the pulmonary diseases in only 2 hours, from infectious to neoplastic to congenital. I then met up with my wife and had our quick lunch at Robinson's mall. She was going around the mall looking for a formal dress to wear in our friend's wedding next Saturday. Juan Villaluz, an old friend and former BS Bio batchmate, is getting married. Anyway, from Robinson's I hurried here in my parents' internet cafe, and did some quick checking of my emails and blogsites. Usually, if I find the web boring, I would "google" my name and check the sites that either bear my first name, middle name or even family name. So I did google it and here are the results I got: I just got from my review and we were reviewing Pulmonary topics for Internal Medicine.

I was fixing some old stuff in my study room when I came across an old directory of the Global youth Visions Project. It was a long time ago and this youth camp was during my second year high school. I saw old familiar names and the rest I can no longer even remember their faces. But anyway, whoever is familiar with the following names and persons, tell them to communicate with me.

It's June. Not much. Just another reminder perhaps that I am about 2 months away from Judgement day. Reviewers, reviewers, reviewers. There are days that I feel like reviewing and there are days that I feel like just goofing around the house. Perhaps there is some disadvantage to reviewing here in Bacolod than probably elsewhere. There are a lot of distractions here. But I have already recomitted myself to studying and perhaps giving more than enough attention to my reviews. It is a tough thing this national boards. It is really a make or break situation. What happens if I fail? What happens if I won't make it? How will I handle failure? How will I handle success? The problem really is not so much as to how to pass the boards. The problem is, should indeed one not pass the boards, how will one handle the failure or this temporary setback? Unfortunately, we were not taught how to fail. We were only taught how to succeed in life, how to overcome the challenges and attain achievem...
