The Freudian Slip Of A Bacolodnon

Tomorrow, I will be broadcasting live via ustream my daughter's second birthday party. It will be the first time a family event will be broadcasted or should I say "lifecasted" in my blog. At least, this will allow our relatives scattered elsewhere the globe to still witness our simple gathering of friends and family members. The broadcast will start at around 2:00 p.m. Manila time. You can view the celebration here in my blog. Just click play on the Ustream video at the sidebar of this blog. Or you can click on the "Read More" in this blog entry tomorrow and see the broadcast in a much bigger screen. Broadcasting Live with Ustream.TV Post Classified Ads That Produce Results

My daughter will be celebrating her 2nd birthday this coming Tuesday and for this year, we opted for a simple celebration at home. We have invited family and relatives and very close friends to come because we wanted it to be an intimate celebration of my daughter's 2nd birthday. My daughter is growing fast and for a father, it is a dreaded moment to see your only daughter grow up. But inasmuch as we would want to give our children their roots, it is our responsibility as parents to give them their own wings as well. They must find their own wings, expand them to their limits, and test them against the merciless winds of the real world. We have this illusion as parents that our kids were made for us to protect them from the brutal realities of life. The thing is, we do not own them. Yes, we must keep them safe, but sooner or later, our kids will step on the threshold of their own destinies, chosen by themselves. All we need to do therefore is just to watch them grow before our eyes...

It was back to "normalcy" last Monday after a hectic February month. When I arrived in my RHU, I immediately went to work, consulting around 15 patients that day, including counselling a young teen-age girl who was having some signs of depression. She went to my clinic complaining of headaches and dizziness. Her dizziness was aggravated or precipitated by sudden change in position and would be relieved by rest. Her headaches were associated with auras before the onset of the headache. It was almost an easy diagnosis but I noticed her to be soft-spoken, slow in her words, quite emotional as well, and has been absent in her class for almost a week already. Further conversation revealed her to have this feeling of sadness, lack of interest to join school organizations and activities (which she would once actively join) and has been having trouble sleeping. I talked to her mom and told her of my initial impression. I told her to come back to me a few weeks later just to check if ...

After a hectic week, I find myself dreaming of my happy place, where I can find rest and relaxation, where stress is not existent and all desires are reachable and available in an instant. The first week of March will be "back-to-normal" week for me, although it may not be entirely stress-free. There is still more work to be done, with so little time left. If you ask me today, if I would continue my work as a doctor to the barrio in my present area of assignment, I might answer you, "No". I know that there are still a lot of things to do for my area, and they may not be completed within the short 2 years. However, I have place certain conditions that would make me stay at least for the next 6 months after the end of my contract. So far, I have yet to see those conditions accomplished. On the more personal side, I have to consider the financial stability of my own self and family. The choices I will have to make shall shape the kind of future that I will choose for m...
