Homesickness creeps up out of nowhere. For me, I've lived through 4 years of homesickness during undergrad. Now another chapter of homesickness begins, lol. Pero you know thank God we have the phone to call home. That and the webcam to see our family members. Good friends make the journey worth the while and they do lessen the effects of homesickness.

OT: Inday, when does your first day of classes begin? I bet you're all excited?

working diay siya the same time sa studies? kuyawa kaayo! More power to your daughter, Tita. That is what I call a true student

For me, Tita, the M.D program is 4 years, but an additional 2 years will be added for the completion of the Ph.D dual. So in all around 6 years. More years of demanding study and review is ahead.

Good luck to all of us. Because we are all students in some form or another.


OT: Most of my colleagues in undergrad are either starting their first year in Medicine or their Ph.D doctoral studies; I have 2 friends who are pursing their doctoral degrees in Organic Chemistry; one who is going into Physics, four who are going into biochemistry/molecular. Two who are going into Law proper and one very good friend who is pursuing a career in theater. Reading your post, Tita, reminded me of our last conversations we had with one another back in May. And it just hit me that we won't be finished with our studies until we're all old. hahaha. As in nearing 30 years haha.

O I do hope that most of them will be able to keep in contact; and keep our friendships intact. One can only hope, specially in our ever-changing and spontaneous world that we live in.



Cheers,

Mao tawon dong, nugon man pod d niya gamiton ang iyang chemistry degree, she is working @ one of the company here in Australia as an researcher and developrment chemist, Iya na gasto tanan karon, wa na miy labot gusto man siya mopadayon sa iyang damgo nga mag lawyer siya. mao gi encourage na lang pod namo siya. Gud luck to my lovely daughter na lang, nuat nga ma succesful siya god willing.

Bahin sa imong mga friends dong, ohh they will contact you one day, just give them time.

Ayaw pod ingna nga old na mo dong, 30 yrs old is not old, just say older hehehehe, ana man jud ang kinabuhi nato di ba. God bless to all students. labi na nimo  dong.

God bless us,hope I become a somebody someday.

Mao lagi, Tita. Pas-pas ra jud kaayo ang time no? I was talking to one of my colleagues from college the other day and one thing that we talked about was reminiscent days of our freshman and sophomore years in college. Its so surreal how time just passes; I mean I can still remember frolicking with fellow undergrads in the fall of 2004. lol.

My one very good friend, Lisa, who is a 1st year Law student in New York told me how she felt so old in her first day of Law School Orientation. One minute we were still undergrads having our typical conversations in the campus center over a nice cup of chai latte or cappuccino. And now here we are in our different paths. She, in Law School, and I, in medical school.

One thing we agreed on was that the level of stress we both are experiencing are mutually equal. LOL!
Hahahaha. She, being inundated with legal briefs and cases and historical timelines. And I, already covering my face with books upon books. Ay dios ko.

One thing is a constant tho. Stress.

It never ceased to bother me in undergraduate college. And now, it seems to have become my best friend.

One thing I learned throughout this 'growing' process is the ability to take things the way they are. And most of all, finding the goods and positives of every single situation.

You're right to, Tita, that friends will contact. One finds out who his or her real friends are that way.




I extend my warm salutations and my absolute regards to all who read this; and find themselves agreeing to my point.

I did my usual Wednesday volunteer work which is to feed the needy at our church's kitchen.

It starts September 2. I'm excited to see all my friends, but I know that I have to focus on my schoolwork as much as possible this semester... lol

What a small world indeed! Orientation starts on the 1st for me and 1st day of Medical School is on the 2nd of September.

Inday!! All i can say is to enjoy your undergrad. Study hard, focus hard, but also make sure to make room to have fun and relax and just enjoy the college atmosphere. Because once you finish it jud, one wishes to be back there again. lol.

Wishing  you all the best and hoping you have a successful and opportune year!

God Bless,
Kuya

Nanampas sa lake kay daghan kaajo sagbut...a very good workout for me.!

wheew, what a day.

uploading my stuffs.

Today was a long, long, tiring, yet fulfilling day.

Today was our Medical School Orientation; which allowed me and 50 other 1st year medical students to talk to staff, professors, and most of all to one another. I was able to make a strong connection with some 1st years such as Vince, Shalabh, Jeff and Steve. Vince is like me; straight out of undergraduate college and has a strong background in biochemistry and molecular biology. Good guy, and both of us decided to get mountain bikes for transportation. Its not that bad as its only a good 10 minute bike ride from our apartment complex to medical school.

Today, I met alot of 1st years. Its so funny to observe the mannerisms of medical students because at first when we entered the student's lounge, we all sat quiet. Sitting so providential, eloquently stiff and deathly quiet. lol. After someone ushered a cough; then out of no where people started to make small conversations. Then out of no where the entire student's lounge was loud. haha.

I got my schedule for this fall semester. The classes I have are: Medical Histology, Gross Anatomy, Anatomical Lab (w/ cadaver), Histology Lab, Human Embryology and Medical Legal Ethics. Classes start on 8 AM, and end by 5 PM. We have an hour break from 12pm till 1pm.

Work, work, work!

Hoping all is well with everyone here in Tubag Bohol! I miss all of you guys!


Best,
Bran

Today, I was able to visit the anatomy lab to see everything. Our labs are pretty large, equipments all ready and cadavers are 'fresh'. We have around 15 cadavers for 50 some students so that translates in about 3 people per cadaver body.

It's labour day here in Canada...shopping..shopping...back to school...work...tomorrow

hahaha, so no more white pants after tomorrow, eh Angie?



Happy Labor Day!

im wondering how many pregnant women labored their babies yesterday since it's labor day. hehehehe
joke

work...staff meeting....eating.....cooking

Today was nice day. I love my histology professor (hilarious and keeps a warm attitude in the classroom); we did general introductions today. Gross Anatomy is probably my favorite class today kai we dived immediately into material. Right now I am relaxing and getting ready to go to bed.

Tomorrow should be interesting; embryology and legal ethics should be nice.

God be praised!

Today we had our first anatomical lab; cadaver lab. I was the team leader for my group; and had the honor in inervating the cadaver. I had the honor in making a Y-incision of the subject. With help from some of my group members we were able to open the anterior right and left rib fractures. What an exhilarating experience as we peeled open the ribs to reveal the upper thoracic viceris that are protected by the rib fractures. Exposing the circulatory system, the cardiothoracic and upper digestive.

Some of my fellow medical student colleagues joked around; some of us getting in supine and prone positions and our professor had us all demonstrate the 'proper' anatomicomedical position. With the head facing forward, the palmar surface of the digitalis facing; with arms in parallel position. With the lower extremity in parallel position as the upper appendicular, with both foot facing forward.

Our anatomy professor, Dr. Satheesha and Dr. Dusic are hilarious. He has a strict rigidity that befits a physician/professor, but he has hilarious tint to him that makes him so approachable. I really like his character.

So far, my first week has been above par. Making alot of acquaintances for the positive.

Thank God for it all! There's alot of studying involved, so much to do.

Work..work....right now, cooking for dinner...

twas a good result for a power point presentation yesterday at management committe mtg. for an access road to a proposed food terminal in bulacan. tiaw mo, taga bohol ang nag propose sa alignment sa mga taga bulacan? if for common good. way ijaija-ahoaho ta..

haha, i completely agree with your last statement, buwad.

Cheers to all of us! For a good week!

Cheers Lor and to all Boholanos and Boholanas! Lets propagate in this whole planet in the name of calamay sa jagna. ehhh love pala! hehehe!  

haha, i admire your spirit, Buwad!

Amen to that! Long Live the Boholano and Boholana!

Today we were introduced to the techniques of transphenoidal approaches of anatomy. And what an awesome technique it is! Today I utilized a surgical saw and proceeded with bifrontal craniotomy; severing the frontal bone from the parietal suture, which was once a embryological cartilaginous attachment during the fetal stage (prior to birth). I had the honor of holding in my hands a human brain.

Our clinical approach focused more on the identification and understanding of the function of the specific nervous system. We identified the 12 cranial nerves and later were introduced to the first phase of the 31 spinal nerves that are  part of the tributary system of the central nervous system--which later innervates into the processes of the peripheral nervous system. Innervating specific muscles.

I really really realize that I have a love for surgery and surgical openings; and was delighted to hear from my instructor that I have a 'surgeon's touch' especially when I surgically manifested the bifrontal craniotomy.

I realized today that Surgery is definitely something I would like to specialize in.

I cannot wait till next week when we go inside the brain itself and begin sectioning.



ITS THE WEEKEND! Going to relax today and begin studying later tomorrow and some light reviews on Sunday with some students.

I just came back from dinner with some of my colleagues. It feels so good to be finished with studies this week; who ever said that Fridays were useless is totally wrong. Fridays, for us, is our only 'time off' day. hahaha.

Plan for tomorrow? Meet up with Jeff, Katie, Chris for a brief 4 hour review for Histology.

Nothing too hard; just light reviews.

work...then we went to Vancouver Chinese Night Market.....

nagbungay kay nindot ang weather outside unya pagkahuman gadokdok.

What are you cooking, Ms. Lee? Now I'm getting hungry. lol

Well today was another typical day. We had had histology today form 8-10, then anatomy form 10-12; and an hour break then we started Embryology from 1-3. From 3-4 we had histology lab; and monitoring and getting used to light microscopy, as well as scanning electron microscopy and staining techniques and identification of particular organelles.

I don't know what some students are complaining about embryology being hard. The material isn't even that bad, i mean its to the point and basic. In my opinion, that is. Anatomy is more of a concern since the volume of information that we have to deal with, especially regarding to medical gross anatomy. The material isn't hard, per se, the volume and saturation needed to be digested is a concern considering the amount of time we have till our first examination. Thank God for the mnemonics and for my study group partners.


It's kind of scary how one acclimates and actually 'gets used' to the demanding schedule. Eh, such is life.

Thats all for today, I guess.

today was a very busy day even if it's a holiday in cebu. i have to bring my wife to her office, then to the grocery then back to her bank. wheww it's pretty tiring.

Pare, how is your little one doing? The little guy is walking and running now?

All the best,
