2 very unrelated topics… I just feel like being incoherent today. ^_^ or maybe i could connect them after a while.. just maybe.
Today was pre-duty, meaning most of the day was spent in the outpatient clinics… doing prenatal check-ups and such. It was cool that we finished by 2 pm. It was uncool to stay until 3 pm until all of the patients were seen by the residents even if we were all just standing around (but I understand why so it’s ok). It was uncool that we didn’t even take a break for lunch just to finish the OPD. But I guess it beats having to stay there until sundown. To make the time fly me and some of the guys just decided to chat about random things (anime, Team medical dragon, blah…).
I just had to quote my friend on how he described one of the residents (no names!):
We call him/her “*imitates a crack of a whip*” … He/She gives so many orders! When he/she sees me about to sit down, he/she automatically asks “Are you doing anything?” and automatically gives an order… I mean, you know if it sounds like a request and if it sounds like an order, you just know! He/She is like one of those Egyptian slavedrivers with a whip, the one who stands on top of a big stone that the slaves have to pull all together that barks orders and whips the slaves at the same time!!!
I couldn’t help but snicker. What an elaborate comparison. ^_^ I heard that they are planning to place his/her name on the “SUNOG” list by the end of the year.
Ahh… a new term in my blog. “SUNOG” was introduced to me by my dad even before I came to UP. As part of tradition, when the new batch of interns graduate from internship, they hold a celebration/ritual called “Sunog” which means Burn in Tagalog. That is where they create a list or make effigies of people who made their life a living hell during internship. Then they burn all of those names and effigies as revenge. Kinda cool, right? It’s like one big goodbye to the hell and it’s like one big statement telling the people on the list “I survived!”
I’m no saint, I have my own sunog list hidden under my pillow!

Today I spent some money on some new earphones. The new kind that is soft and fits nicely into the ear. It was more expensive (300 pesos) but way cheaper than those Shure earphones that are 20000 pesos! Still I tested it and it was definitely quality. It was louder than my old earphones which were original iPod earphones with a good bass tone. “Hindi basag!” As some of my friends would say. Hope it lasts though…
See? Totally unrelated topics…
