It feels good to be back. The whole Singapore elective experience is one for the books; a lot of highs and a lot of lows. But I did miss my family, my friends, my home. Gonna start the last 2 weeks before clerkship by sleeping soundly in my own bed :) Yay!
(Also, hello 1,000th post in Tumblr!)

So far...
We’re making the most out of this elective/experience. Sure there were days when we felt like giving up, packing our bags, calling the airline and rebooking flights. Those were shitty days, because we felt like ICCs all over again, only worse because of the communication barrier and judgement just oozing out of their pores.
But there were also good days, like yesterday, when we got to read...

Week 1
I miss home. Sure I’m enjoying it here, especially because this trip consists of a lot of firsts (travelling out of the country, travelling without family members, living for a month away from family, etc). Sure I love the “freedom” that comes with living in Manila (and not in QC), but I always had the safety blanket of LRT rides or my Dad to pick me up from the unit and bring me...

Hey Stranger
Do not be fooled by the “power” of Friday the 13th. It is just like any ordinary day :) Cheer up and chin up, know that people are only human, so we do make mistakes. We get envious. We falter and do not so good. But we can also be full of the good stuff, like love, joy, peace and so much more. Just remember the (pertinent) positives, ok? :D

Turn around
It amazes me how He balances out the positives and negatives each and every day :)
Was feeling blaaaah at the start of the week, coupled with realizations, rationalizations and whatnots. Then, what do you know, the email comes in early (with a positive response, hello Neurosurg!), followed by lots of pizzas and pasta with the EdBoard (thank you AA!) and racing against the clock to get to MOA to...

HEADSSS
Just a friendly reminder of what we tackled around 5 months ago: we had an adolescent patient at the Derma OPD this morning, and all 5 of us in the group forgot what HEADSSS stands for :)

Because today revolved around torn scrubs (and the circumstances that lead to it), the management of pain, chinese food overload and looking out for each other.
Not to mention asking people if they’re free 3 weeks from now, although in a jokingly way. Yes? No? Who knows :D
