Cancer Institute
(Late post) In what turned out to be one of my most memorable duties to date, my twelve-hour stint as intern-on-duty at PGH’s Cancer Institute is best described as intense.
The Cancer Institute (or CI), aside from housing PGH’s various Oncologic subspecialty clinics, has its upper floor devoted as a ward for both adult and pediatric patients with different cancers. As IOD we were...

7. I love singing karaoke… on my iTunes.
Everyone who knows me also knows that at every party where a videoke machine or a Magic Sing is available, it’s almost certain I’d be holding (even hogging) the microphone. Never mind that I don’t have the best singing voice in the room; at least I can hold a tune and hold my notes and avoid the flats and the sharps at least most of...

VOTE!
On Monday about 45 million Filipinos will go out to vote for new senators, congress representatives and local officials. And I shall be one of them.
This about to be my second time to exercise my voting rights, I am both eager and anxious, because since democracy was introduced in the Philippines our elections (from the start of campaign periods to the aftermath of election proper) have always...

6. Ich spreche (ein bisschen) Deutsch.
Ich denke dass es die schönste Sprache in der Welt ist. Aber ich kenne nur ein bisschen Deutsch, und so ziehe ich es vor auf Englisch zu sprechen (und schreiben).
So that just said I speak a bit of German. But given my limited knowledge of the beautiful language I’d prefer to write in English from here on instead.
I picked up my first “learning...

!OMG WTF HAS HAPPENED??
WHHYYY the fuck is my Tumblr site not green anymore?
I had a hard time choosing that perfect shade of green and this is the surprise I get when I randomly decide to check out how my Tumblr looks, all of a sudden it’s just white and black and gray all over! UGH to the nth!
*calms myself down*
In other news, so internship started four days ago and it’s kind of benign and stuff since...

5. According to this site, apparently I’m a Left Liberal.
“Liberals usually embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but tend to support significant government control of the economy. They generally support a government-funded “safety net” to help the disadvantaged, and advocate strict regulation of business. Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations, defend...

4. I’d call myself a Liberal Christian.
I was born into a family of Methodists, but as I grew up our family gradually separated from our church of origin and began attending church in other non-denominational evangelical Christian institutions. As to organized institutions with their hierarchies and traditions (some of which I believe are outdated and misguided, which was the reason we left...

3. I’m quite the tree climber.
Our house is a bungalow surrounded by a lot of trees and plants (owe that to the fact that both our father and our mother are avid gardening afficionados.) On our backyard abutting the house are two fruit-bearing trees - a mango tree and a santol tree - both of which I fondly climbed ever since I was a kid. We also have several farms in the province, and I...

2. I don’t drive. For so many reasons.
I know, I’m 22 years old and somehow one of the world’s simplest aptitudes expected from people my age is something I don’t do. For one, I don’t know how. I know some basics from my lessons from my cousin but that was years ago, and as I have proven recently I’ve forgotten much of those lessons due to lack of practice....
