Dying Young

Everything happens for a reason.

Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room.

I am I, and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.

Call me by my old familiar name. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used to.

Put no difference into your tone; wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.

Play, smile, think of me, pray for me

Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effort, without the ghost of a shadow on it.

Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was.

There is absolutely unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident?

Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you at an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.

All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost

Promoting Sumer's Viewbox

I'd like to spend this portion of my blog telling the world about Doc Sumer's Radiology site and the books he has written. I found his link through Doc Emer's blog and now both of them have linked me up too. I'm really honoured despite that my site isn't a medical blog but of more of whinings from a doctor who refuses to act like one and prefers to live a rockstar's life. :)

Doc Sumer has all the basic infos anyone interested in radiology would want to dig, in his blog. At 28, he has written various medical publications topped the indian medical exams and won several quiz bowls. He wrote the "Review of Radiology" and guess what's the coolest thing about it? He's sending me a complimentary copy! Yayness! It would really be of great help especially that i'm still starting out as a radio resident.

Way to go Doc Sumer! Thanks so much.

Madam Auring's Inspiration and Louvre

Click here .There's still hope for oldies after all.

It is also interesting to note that Da Vinci Code will have a film version starring Tom Hanks as Professor Langdon and will be shot inside Louvre. Slated for release in 2006. I'm sure Doc Aries is gonna watch this.

I'm on duty again so this is just gonna be another short blog (bloggette?). This is the coolest thing about Radiology, I can blog while on duty. Heehee! Can't do this in IM.

Aha!

So this is probably why I remain toothpick-thin! Click here ... But I'll sleep anyway. Haha!

I just discovered a new website, Dr. Emer's medical blog. Very informative. His link appears on the "Blogs I Read" portion of this page. Cool doc. Brilliant.

I'm on duty right now but I gotta catch some zzzz's already. Never mind if I don't get rid of this stick figure. Good nighty!

Don't Judge A Book, Just Cover It

When I told Sharon the address to my blog, she was mocking, naks, leggylass ha? I had to assure her it didn't have anything to do with the length or number of my legs. It takes after my fiance's (Orlando Bloom's) character, Legolas. Dr. Bloom would have been a good pen name, except that people might think I'm referring to my nose.

It occurred to me that I'm actually friends with a lot of misunderstood people. I had to tell others who dislike them that they are in reality, good people who are just often misjudged. As Melanie Marquez would put it, "Don't judge them, they're not books". Now it alarms me. Either I have a wide scope of understanding for these friends or heaven forbid, I am one of them.

Ain't it cool to be tinkering on Ma'am Thelma's computer while on duty, checking out friendster? Badette, (Jay's younger sister) told me about the internet connection. Although in other aspects there is no doubt that they are siblings, it was refreshing to know that while Jay is a computer illiterate, his sister isn't. Badette, if you're reading this, don't tell Jay I'm humiliating him on my blog.

I find it disturbing that people who barely know me assume that I have quite a long list of boyfriends. Duh. Didn't realize I come across as some playgirl on the loose. What's worse is when you answer you're single, they think you're pulling their leg. Great. Now that makes you a playgirl and a liar. When you finally convince them that you are telling the truth, they start wondering what could be wrong about you. They secretly think you have a pathologic personality. Argh. What's with these people? But then I guess the worst thing about it is you believing they could be right.

I miss the ample parking space I used to enjoy at the previous hospital I worked for. At where I presently work, they are either taken or have the annoying "reserved" sign that I accidentally knocked one down while backing up. Trust me, it was an accident. It didn't have anything to do with my pent up emotions.

Between Ally Mcbeal and Bridget Jones, Ally wins my heart hands down. Hence, my player comes with 2 of the songs from the TV series' soundtrack. Have they depicted Ally as a doctor than a lawyer, I would start thinking they owe me rights to my story. No seriously, Ally can't be me. She's is a little too whacko. Sick in the head, but funny nonetheless.

Speaking of whackos, I checked out the results of my psychological exam. Actually, I wasn't required to know the results. The hospital psychologist already signed my papers even before I could take the exam (see, that's how harmless I look). I just wanted to know if I had some loose screws I needed to tighten. As expected *ahem*, I was pronounced mentally fit. I had to specifically ask if I am at all, narcissistic. N-O. No. You read that right. Now that I'm assured that I don't have a psychological pathology, at least I know I could own a gun soon without posing threat to the society. Coolness.

This Is My Playground, Come Play With Me

don't piss me off

you run, i shoot

guess what i hit on my first shot-the groin area of the cardboard dummy. center. that's what you call ball's eye. my next shots were on the chest area but i still think i want to master the special skills on shooting balls.

freeze! bullet caught in mid-air. wait, my hair isn't pantay. shucks.

if i were rich, i'd hire a bodyguard. since i'm not, i'd have to learn to protect myself and the people i love. really, this is something every girl should learn.
