Excursion
For some reason the batch assigned Djanah and me to come up with the activities for the overnight batch outing last year. Djanah and I of course didn’t prepare anything. Off we went to Subic, and of course there was… Read More ›

Exams…
How I suck at them. All those questions that look nowhere familiar, all those choices that look the same. It doesn’t matter that the multiple choices render a small percentage of getting it right, if I pick something randomly it’s… Read More ›

Voltaging
TT recently pointed out that I could have probably finished an entire volume of Harrison’s if I’ve read it instead of all those thousands of comic books under my belt. Wrong, TT, wrong. I could have read BOTH volumes of… Read More ›

A Re-evaluation of Old Values and Beliefs in the New Millennium For the Betterment of Tomorrow
No longer will I scoff snootily at the diagnosis “shock secondary to poor intake”. I can already hear you scoffing snootily, high and mighty intellectuals (HAMI). But I’ve recently had severe gallbladder pain, vomited just once, and didn’t eat or… Read More ›

Smoketh? Smoketh! Smoketh? Smoketh. Smoketh? Smoketh! (and so on)
In a few months Smoketh will finish residency and will yet again be in a confusing crossroad. Crossroads suck because they are confusing, and I get easily confused. Back in 1997 when I couldn’t decide whether I would go to… Read More ›

Comic Con Carne
In the middle of roundsing at 10 am, this text message from Agent Orange Larfleeze: I’m already in Mega Mall for the Comic Convention. Ako pa lang ang tao. Can you refresh me on the story of The Orange Lanterns?… Read More ›

Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie
So you have a crush (all together now: Yiiiiiiiheeeeee!!!!). You are what, 28, 30 years old and you are still having crushes. She is very pretty after all, and more importantly, you haven’t seen her before in this stagnant quagmire… Read More ›

Simple Annoyances Part 2
Because truly, if we could derive happiness from, let’s say, a rock, then we also deserve to derive annoyance and throw a major tantrum from, let’s say, a whiny person. So here goes: 1. All these charger wires entangling with… Read More ›

Simple Joys (Insert Touchy-Feely Music Here)… Part 2!
Yes, there was a part 1. Back in the Friendster blog era in 2007, I think, when it still wasn’t spammed by invites for orgies. As I’ve intro-ed then, there are simple stuff in everyday existence from which we can… Read More ›

Once Again, Hair. Hair Hair Hair.
Because it’s that time of the year when the shadow of my head looks like a weird, alien mobius chair from the huge crop of hair I am always too lazy to cut. See my twenty other old blog entries… Read More ›

Tales of a Gym Buff. A Gym Buff, I Tell You.
I’ve discovered how out of shape I am (indeed I only need to look in the mirror, but don’t interrupt) when I checked on a patient one day and discovered that he was dead. I looked around for a nurse… Read More ›

Die, Kid.
In particular, you with whom I’ve had the misfortune of having an encounter in the rest room of Robinson’s Place. I don’t know what you were thinking, or if you were thinking at all, or if you really have no… Read More ›

Yelp!, I Yelped.
Without having read a very old blog entry (Set-up a Bleeping Cheese Trap, Lloydie!) Lloydie has finally set-up a bleeping cheese trap. The callroom was bombarded with ultraviolet rays a few weeks ago in an attempt to kill off some… Read More ›

Lur! Lur! Lur!
I’ve recently asked TT who he thinks he is a reincarnation of, and of course he rebuffs me immediately, going on a lengthy theological argument that reincarnation is not true. So I just asked him, if he could get reincarnated… Read More ›

WSOL
In the jungle that is the emergency room where there is very little room to move around, where the general smell constantly shifts from the usual diabetic foot to fecal stench (and just yesterday, an extremely strong mutant urine smell… Read More ›

The Blackest Night
Has finally started. The premise: The DC universe has suffered hundreds of deaths of major and footnote characters alike over the years, and while some (actually, most) of them have been resurrected like Superman and Tora Olaffsdotter, a few have… Read More ›

Foul-Mouthed Motherfucker
Mexican Devil Alanis Whore has been lingering at the Emergency Room for hours now, and she is already off-duty. She has been there during her entire 24-hour duty, and she looked tired. She has done well in her shift, and… Read More ›

Pain Series (First Part of 1)
Give me your heartbreaks, your painful pining for unachievable love, your guilt over the patient you’ve killed. Your emotional chaos at having discovered that you will forever be alone and that you can’t take the loneliness because you’re unluckily unschizoid…. Read More ›

Schizoidphrenia
It takes a lot to make me feel alone. For instance, I have been watching movies by myself for many, many years and I have never felt alone—it’s sometimes just too cumbersome organizing a common time, which is not to… Read More ›

Heh.
As if on cue Smoketh has just revealed that months ago she has been exhibiting the strange ability to see a dead girl in white. While in the seniors’ callroom she would note, in her peripheral vision, a girl in… Read More ›
