Doc Mimay Notes

i was sorting some old stuff in my room, when i came across a folded 2 piece yellowish old bond paper, a photocopy of an article from signs of the times way back 2001. it was the same article na na-touched ako years ago, kayo pinaphotocopy ko. i knew there was something important with this that i kept it for a very long time... i read it again... and i cried.. and it seems like i am reading it for the first time again.

A test of FAITH Today marked the 2 nd day that I am not required to open and read these numerous books and handouts I can now only see afar. The time 1 wouldn’t be guilty if ever I will end up with longer hours of sleep (than what I am supposed to). Because for the 1 st time, I don’t have an idea of what am I going to do next. The very same day, I was having tremors as I opened the PRC website, having mixed emotions on what am I gonna see… WHERE IT ALL STARTED? Why I wanted to become a doctor.

You’ve been my seatmate almost my entire medschool, about 74.98% of the time. You have been my friend since then. But this past 4 months was what a hell-of-a-ride with you. You were my friend then, and I know, you are still now but much closer—with additional pinch of trust, seasoned with belongingness. The dreaded fight becomes a lot easier when you have someone fighting with you.

Minsan, sabi nila, “You are blessed with the opportunity of not knowing it all”, sabi naman ng iba, “there’s nothing to be worried about, There is no fear, in not knowing”.   But that isn’t my case, I wish I can remember less, I wish I see less, hear few—I wish I haven’t seen them at all. But no! God has given me the gift of hyperthymism. Gift? Or a curse I am bound to live with for the rest of my life.

“Walang kabuluhan ng walang kabuluhan sabi ng mangangaral, lahat ay walang kabuluhan” Meaning please???? Pagtatanungin mo ang tatay ko kung ano ang paborito niyang talata sa bibliya, sigurado ako at wala pang isang Segundo, ito ang isasagot niya. At bilang bata, isa lang ang reaksyon naming lahat sa tuwing sasabihin nya yan., ang tumawa ng tumawa…sa kakaisip na baka siya ay nagpapatawa lang. Sino ba naman ang seryosong tao ang magsasabi ng isang pangungusap na puro “walang kabuluhan” ang laman. Ang dami namang ibang laman ang bibliya, mga sikat pa! madalas mo pang makita sa kahit na saan. Sa libro, sa simula ng artikulo, minsan pati sa mga key chain at mga establishimento..bakit iyon pa?

 I had this Vietnamese co-intern way back in my college days, who knows how to do palm-reading. I was not really into those things, as I believe we are responsible for every decisions we made and we will make that can determine our destiny, however everybody is so hooked up to know what future their palms might tell them.. finally I decided to give it a chance. After reading my palm, I was like “Oh My.., She’s Right..”

Alzheimer’s dse -also called senile dementia of the Alzheimer type (SDAT), primary degenerative dementia of the Alzheimer's type (PDDAT), or Alzheimer's—is the most common form of dementia. This incurable, degenerative, and terminal disease was first described by German psychiatrist and neuropathologist  Alois Alzheime r in 1906 and was named after him. Moving on… There is not even a single perfect human being who exists today. All of us fall short, all of us do have some bloopers in our lives that make it hard for us to move on and go forward. We tend to live our lives with the expectations of people around us that if we “accidentally” said something stupid, it will make us curl up and hide in our shell for some time and sometimes as we wish forever.
