Voices

What’s scary about being a medical student is that sometimes, you tend to make explanations for the strange things that happen to you.

When you hear unexplained voices speaking on your ear, you don’t immediately regard it as supernatural. You have two options: it’s either some medical brain condition, or could be psychological. The way you asses yourself can tell you which is which.

Paranoia isn’t odd in the medical world. When you study different signs and symptoms of diseases, you tend to correlate it with your own; just like when people look up their symptoms on the internet, and they come up with one disease - CANCER.

But what would you do if it was you? If you yourself believe that you don’t have the ability to go beyond the realms of the real world, yet you hear stuff you are not able to hear. Should you go get a CT-Scan, or go straight to psychiatrist for a consult?

That kind of decision has never been easy. For a positive result from either consultations can never be good.

The Vow that will Never Take Place

“I do”. It’s every woman’s dream to say those words in front of the love of her life, her family, and all her loved ones.

But what happens when this vow will never take place again; after months of planning one would just decide to call it off, and break it? What would happen to all the years of thinking about it, and asking friends, and family for advice?

Marriage is indeed one way for a couple to settle down. But what if they realize they aren’t ready to become one, to live in the same roof, to start a family? Or what if one of them isn’t ready, or what if one of them isn’t even sure if he wants to get married at this time?

Is calling off a wedding the right thing to do? Would one just waste everything they have prepared just because they decided not to get married? Or maybe there is a way for the couple to talk about their differences, or the reason why they had to call it off.

Weddings are one of the things people look forward to. Sometimes, the guests, sponsors, Maid of Honor are the ones more excited than the bride and groom. But when things take its turn and everything is halted, we can’t help but feel bad, because this dream wedding that we keep on picturing in our minds won’t seem to happen anymore.

Take a VOW and be SILENCE. :p

Hope for the Future

So, I saw some kids playing the trumpo (top) in their lawn, and thought I’d snap a photo of it.

In this modernized era, we often see kids play video games, cellphones, and in arcades. We seldom see the toys we grew up in being familiar to this generation.

So seeing those boys playing something that has been existing since before they were born gives me a lot of hope for the future. Goes to show that not all youngsters we have are blinded by the emergence of modern technology and brain-freezing innovation. :)

Fun in a Whole New Level!

No alcohol, but had a really great time with my friends!

So last Saturday (January 21, 2012), my friends and I went to Eden Nature Park and Resort, to welcome Charlie's 24th birthday on Sunday (January 22, 2012).

We had an early dinner buffet at their restaurant and spent the rest of the night playing games prepared by Pat. Since it was a triple January celebration for Charlie,Sephie, and Raz, we played games that were related to them.

We had charades, word search, and Pinoy Henyo. It was indeed really fun! Charlie and I planned to buy beer for the night, but since our cottage was too far from civilization, we changed our minds. We instead focused on fun ways to while away the night while we were waiting for the clock to strike 12.

The main highlight of the night however was the Indiana Jones! It was like a mini-zipline where we could go for over and over again. Brought out the kids in us. :)

It was indeed proof that sometimes, it doesn't need alcohol, or loud music to have fun for the weekends. All we need are a good set of friends who can actually make a lot out of something simple. :)

So how did Patrick Stump turn out to be soooo effin’ HOT after Fall Out Boy?? ♥

AceTeryahe Family Christmas Party 2011 @ Linmarr Apartelle | December 16, 2011

Trolling with my Secret Santa present. The one whom I was able to pick didn’t have a single idea I was his Secret Santa. I even let him choose the wrapper and the card design. lol!

And as you can notice, the paper-bag is a bit girly. Much more to actually kill his suspicion. lol! :))

A Night Full of Good Mornings

So everything revolved around the Good Morning towel that one of us proposed. The night turned out to be a really indescribable one. Food and drinks were everywhere, and fun and laughters were overfowing.

Our AceTeryahe Family Christmas party at Linmarr Apartelle was such a blast, we hoped we could spend one more night there together. :)

So, many people say that this “Push Button to Cross” is really not working. They say it’s just a dummy, a placebo. It doesn’t really automatically shizz the traffic light to let you cross. You still have to wait for the traffic to stop.

But I have this habit of pushing that button whenever I try to cross the street because even though in my head, I know it doesn’t work, I also know that it won’t kill you to push it.

But one friend of mine told me that the cross button really does work. He said that one time, while he was waiting for his turn to cross, the traffic aide told him to push the button so he could cross. My other friend however negated his statement and said that that button is really just a placebo, to make you believe it would let you cross.

So, to prove matters to myself, I tried to make an experiment. That photo taken above is in front of the Ateneo de Davao University. The pedestrian there has a good amount of length that you really had to wait for the motor vehicles to stop before you can dare cross safely.

So I stood there without pushing the button, watching the cars in front of me zoom by. The traffic light signaled for the opposite lane to stop, but the red hand signal for pedestrians was still up. I still waited. When the traffic light turned green, the red hand signal was still flashing.

Then I pushed the button and waited. When the traffic light turned red, I was amazed when the red hand signal switched the the yellow “walk” sign. I was able to cross the street. :)

So, after that simple experiment, I therefore conclude, that the button really does work. People just perceived that it was supposed to automatically signal to walk when one pushes it. But it doesn’t really work that way. That button works as a sensor whenever someone wants to cross the street. When the red light lights up, the sensor will signal that whoever wants to cross can now cross safely.

My secondary heaven. :p

Every mobile network provider is really annoying..

Whether it be Globe, Smart, or Sun, they really have flaws in their service. Whether you’re on prepaid or postpaid, they will find a way to grab you off your money whenever you load your SIM or pay your bills.

But even though we hate how these network providers rob us off legally, we don’t have a choice but to continue using their service simply because nowadays, mobile communication is already considered a necessity.

I’ve been a victim of those three network providers. I have a Globe and Smart prepaid account, and a postpaid account on Sun. Each of those networks give me the migraine whenever I load my prepaid account or receive my postpaid bill.

There’s been an issue about this before, when Senator Enrile was robbed off his remaining credits. He even passed a law about it, but I guess that was put under the grave because nothing happened. There were still unnecessary unbilled charges, and load-eating ones.

What can we really do about it? Nothing. Unless every subscriber in the Philippines would protest and stop texting or calling even for a day.

But I guess that would be impossible. :p
