Reading My Poems Aloud

Image
I am a longtime poet submitting my poetry in deviantart.com. My deviantart profile is bayen.deviantart.com . Now I am reading my poetry! Thanks to snapvine, I am reading these poems aloud and recording them for others to listen. There are some poems that are nice to read but listeners only understand these poems better when they are read either by someone else or by the poet himself. I invite you to listen to my poems. All of these poems so far that I am recording and leaving at snapvine are those I submitted in deviantart. For my voice blog, click here . Thanks a lot for the support, especially to fellow poets who have been helpful to me through your criticisms and suggestions. Thanks.

Remembering Mentors

Image
Here's the tribute video we presented during the graduation of the interns of BOLMSH batch 2006-2007. The tribute video is in honor of our doctors and nurses in Bacolod Our Lady Of Mercy Hospital. They are mentors, but most especially, they are friends. P.S. Happy Birthday, Ma!

Good luck also to the rest of my medschool batchmates who are now taking up their residency training, especially to Peewee who is now at St. Luke's taking up neurosurgery. Chat ta next time pee ah!

Losing Grip

I forgot to blog about this the other day. Fortunately, my head is much cooler now that I can already blog in straight English and not mostly in rude Castillan. A few weeks ago, the house was caught surprised when without warning the water stopped running. At first, we were not alarmed about it. Usually, at that time of the day, there are interruptions in the water supply but they are commonly brief and would normalize after an hour or so. So, I didn't call up BACIWA (Bacolod City Water District) to complain. It was already late in the afternoon when I realized that the water supply didn't resume and that the faucet was desert dry. I called up the complaint desk and asked about the problem. At first, the voice on the other end of the line was also quite surprised that our "area" had no water. There had been no reports about any water interruption during that day, except somewhere in Sum-ag. They promised to report it to their maintenance department. I went out of the ...

I Got Candoni

Image
DOH called up yesterday. I was told that I will be assigned to the municipality of Candoni. It could have been better if it was nearer like in Don Salvador Benedicto but as earlier blogged, DSB was not granted a DTTB for this year. Maybe next year if they are already approved by the DOH, then maybe I can get relocated from Candoni to DSB. But that depends. We don't know what the future brings. It is an adventurous ride. I have now taken this road. I may not be able to know what will lie ahead of the road which I didn't take, but certainly, whether which road I chose, there will always be regrets and fulfillments. By having taken this road, I have chosen a destiny for myself. Now, it is up to me to make the most out of it. I am currently doing my research. I am reviewing my textbooks, re-reading del Mundo's Pediatrics and Harrison's Internal Medicine textbook. I am also reviewing DOH programs and even browsing the net on World Health Organization Health Programs. The WHO...

Walkout!

Image
A few days ago, my wife and I watched the HBO original movie, "Walkout". I am posting the synposis of the film here, as taken from their official website. "A film with a powerful message that resonates 38 years after the events it depicts occurred, Walkout is the stirring true story of the Chicano students of East LA, who in 1968 staged several dramatic walkouts in their high schools to protest academic prejudice and dire school conditions. Aided by a popular and progressive young teacher, Sal Castro, Paula Crisostomo and a group of young Chicano activists battle parents, teachers, bureaucrats, the police and public opinion to make their point. Along the way, the students learn profound lessons about embracing their own identity and standing up for what they believe in. Set in 1968, a tumultuous year that shook America to its foundation, Walkout is a vivid reminder that people can change the world. The producers of Walkout have a very personal reason for bringing the dra...
