Doc Mimay Notes

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.

“We used to be best buddies and now were not,  I wish you could tell me why? .. Please I know you're in there, people are asking where  you've  been they say, "Have courage!" and am trying to am right here for you, just let me in We only have each other, its  just  you and me.. what are we gonna do? Do you want to build a snowman? It  doesn't  have to be a snowman. Ok bye..” A year ago, the time I learned that my only sister is getting married, I started to cry every time am hearing this song. Feeling ko kasi kami sila elsa and anna, only the other way around, she is the jolly, happy anna and am the isolated, serious elsa.   I don’t know when will I ever be ready for this day, I guess standing here in front of everybody, I never was.

“For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life” John 3:16 I was in a virtual biochemistry class with the famous medicine professor, now a neurosurgeon  Ronie Baticulon MD. A neurosurgeon who teaches Biochemistry in Several medical schools too. (Too much with introduction, am just overwhelmed I was able to sit in his class). Well, moving on, I was in his class and he was teaching enzyme kinetics when he told us about the three sad love stories in mathematics. Here it goes:

“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?

In this era where filipino youth were fighting over their favorite love teams, over noon time shows.. Having the Heneral Luna, a Filipino Historic film in today's movie industry is an ice breaker to remind us there is something worth reflecting -- cherishing our independence, valuing our nation more..

 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..”

I just watched Toy Story 3... funny that in all animated movies, i got so teary-eyed when Andy left all of his toys to Bony. Those toys have been with him through the years... they have been played by him all his childhood years. These toys were the unnoticed witnesses of Andy's journey.. happiness, sadness and tears. And for me, honestly, watching this animated film, i never thought i will shed a tear.. but i did.
