  • Negasonic Superhuman Crapahoola

    Someone has created a Facebook account for our batch UP Medicine class 2006, which caused a deluge of photos. Let it be known that I hate first year medicine. Hate it. Like hell. The set-up was annoying, the schedule was… Read More ›

  • The TCBAJFMAS Reboot!

    Something was announced last June that sent Voltage spraying from my nose and into the laptop screen. Out of nowhere it was announced that DC Comics is rebooting everything starting September, ie, the past 75 years will essentially be thrown… Read More ›

  • Elevator Ahoy

    Truly it’s quite disheartening that the events I find worth blogging these days happen in the elevator. Nevertheless. And so I went into the elevator in the first floor and who should happen to walk in with me but our… Read More ›

  • October’s Very Cold

    The past weeks when my gadget cords have all decided to go on strike I’ve contented myself with exploring further the unexplored recesses of my iPot after charging it from various computers, ie, I’ve finally listened to the thousands of… Read More ›

  • Whiners, Inc.

    Morning rounds in pay would be quite boring if not for my batchmates also roundsing for their specific subspecs who make it a point to make me feel that you don’t have the world on your shoulders, you’re not the… Read More ›

  • Crisis On Infinite Gadgets

    For the past few years I have somehow staved off my mutant abilities to destroy nearby gadgets. My first ever handheld device is the much maligned, and deservedly so, Palm Zire 71 back in 2003. It’s that cute blue thing… Read More ›

  • SMF 1

    Smoketh is on some kind of leave, so we’ve been imagining her doing all sorts of weird stuff in Cebu. Except as I was rushing back to the dorm after I escaped the OPD who should I see sitting in… Read More ›

  • The Daw Is Alive.

    Smoketh was walking somewhere in PGH a few days ago, and said she saw an intern in scrubs with a frantic look on her face. A frantic look on her face while walking really fast, holding up an X-ray film… Read More ›

    If I get rich the first thing I’m going to buy is a secretary. Hire. The first thing I’m going to hire is a secretary. Person. I just suck as hell when it comes to forms and papers and other… Read More ›

  • Form Five, And Yet, Because. Yes.

    Finally had our first day of class. The word “finally” usually implies that we’re waiting for something with excitement, but this time I just don’t know how to start this paragraph properly and don’t want to further think of a… Read More ›

    “May lecture mamya,” Zombie 4 said while in the OPD. I usually concentrate and try to zone out everything whenever I mix chemicals, for fear I might mix things the wrong way and accidentally create a weird living creature, but… Read More ›

  • Mulder and Scully Recommend

    Our music recommendation for the night is the song Mushrooms and Roses by Janelle Monae from the fantastic album ArchAndroid. I’ve discovered her album while browsing through possible downloads, I mean purchases, a couple of months ago, and I had… Read More ›

  • Disenchanted And This Plane Cannot Fly Fast Enough

    Soon enough you get through all these things and mature and have all of these experiences and survive them and and live through each challenge one by one by one, and you become stronger and your threshold for pain increases… Read More ›

  • The Fantastic X-Men: First Class

    After escaping the OPD ran ran ran to the callroom to find…. boxes of free lunch! Ahoy! FF! ie, FREE FOOD! And for dinner, I tagged along in an RTD in Gumbo, an RTD which… does not concern me! Thank… Read More ›

    In the past month three out of the eight fellows in our section had CT scans done on themselves because after the fifth young person with some form of abdominal malignancy comes in with only some kind of “non-specific abdominal… Read More ›

  • Overheard in the Elevator

    True, you don’t need to actively eavesdrop while in the elevator, except when people are whispering about suspicious activities, but it’s more fun to imagine that you’re eavesdropping, because then you feel like you’re crouching behind some bushes, and you… Read More ›

  • Friday

    After getting a haircut what should I see but the longest line for… X-Men First Class! Callistus Netromedev has already seen it and thinks it’s fantastic. Having no money and having to subsist on Wow Ulam I am thinking of… Read More ›

  • The Sea

    is the title of the second album of one of my favorite artists, Corinne Bailey Rae. The Sea–the body of water–  is something you behold, I am not even sure what the verb to behold means but it just seems… Read More ›

  • Grey’s Anatomy

    Is a show I’ve never warmed up to. Probably because the first episode I’ve watched, while in the interns’ corner in Rehab Ward with Smoketh, Mrs. T, Roxy, and Len-Len back in 2005, was the one with Meredith Grey craning… Read More ›

  • Cheers!

    The whole day I resolved to be nice. Because it was the probably the best way through. And I was nice. I greeted every patient good morning. I asked them how they felt, even though most of them felt like… Read More ›
