Wasted
Currently feeling wasted after having two consecutive, almost-sleepless nights.
Tuesday night was spent reviewing readings from renowned philosophers and economists for our SocSci2 finals. Marx has quite made a point in his Das Kapital, while Durkheim’s view on suicide was interesting.
The exam itself was fun, especially with the bonus questions. One actually asked you to draw the shape...

Fear
It all boils down to it… of how I keep on shunning that one crazy thought into a corner of my mind’s attic. It is fear, I tell you, fear of being rejected once I open these gates and let loose to you these three significant words. Incredulous it may seem, but it all boils down to the fear of losing you.

To take up med or to not take up med?

UN Station
Coming from Sentro Ophthalmologo in PGH, I decided to go for a more direct route to UN Avenue instead of passing by the white colleges along Pedro Gil. The smoke coming from the speeding buses along Taft was a “refreshing” change from the usual scent of stagnant urine near Pedro Gil station.
Walking alone (being alone, actually) uses some of those unused gears deep inside my mind. I...
Back to the Lab
Nursing Research
Counting bacterial colonies from hand imprints is no easy task - well, at least for our research participants who washed their hands properly. Our group collected 26 samples last Thursday and left it at the incubator of the College of Public Health.
Given 24 hours to multiply on a blood agar plate, our results were quite surprising (and horrendous-looking as seen below).

I'm off to the operating room.
Aiming to have 3 records of me as a circulating nurse.
