Scared Sh*tless. Tuesday, May 29, 2007

over the last few weeks, i've had a lot on my mind and little drive to blog. my nerves are murdering me!!!!!

IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), i have it. i've had it before during revalida season. it's back. examination period again. weh! will be taking step 1 really soon, and 3 more exams after that. *tears*

i still don't feel like blogging, but i feel like i really really have to do this just to get it out of my system, sort of like catharsis. i don't have anything important to share, but i can't take not having any output. lately it's just studying, watching tv, eating, nibbling on chocolate, reading. all input, no output (still waiting for my constipation phase of IBS to enter into the diarrhea phase at the worst time possible). weh! i know, i know. i have to start exercising.

i guess i'll just talk about the convention i went to last saturday. the MIND convention is an annual gathering of doctors (mostly med students and board takers) organized by drs. willie and liza ong. it wasn't of much use to me. most of what they talked about, i already knew. that's because i skipped internship and have the time to know them. the most interesting bits for me were the segments on how to tackle the philippine boards and the talk willie ong gave about himself, the struggles he had as a cardiologist-in-the-making and how he knew being a good cardiologist wasn't just his life's purpose. it was pretty inspiring and comforting to know that a doctor who a lot of young doctors look up to isn't afraid to admit his weaknesses. having been a mediocre medical student, i now feel that it is still possible for me be something greater while marching to the beat of my own drum. oh, and i got a free autographed copy of the new edition of the extended medicine blue book.

i know, this entry is just another brain fart. fart is still output, though. whew! i feel a little better. now that that's out of my system, it's back to chocolate nibbling, er, reviewing for me.
