Flashback: Self-Evaluation: How well do I know myself?
As part of our Community Medicine in first year medicine, we were asked to evaluate ourselves. Here are the twenty things I found out about my self.:
1. I like myself. Definitely I do. I was born with four limbs, with complete hearing and blessed with eyes. I am also here in this college, that’s so much to be thankful for. I know where I am going, what are my aspirations in life. My life is definitely likeable. I enjoy life most definitely.
2. People can trust me. Though there are times that I unconsciously burst out a secret, I can still proudly say that I am trustworthy.
3. I never put up a good front. What people see outside is what they will also dissect inside.
4. I trust myself – my feelings, my deeds, and my abilities.
5. I enjoy people – with different ethnicity, religion and beliefs. I can mingle with everybody. I never was choosy when it comes to friends. As long as I feel comfortable talking with him/her, I befriend him/her. I never was snob to anybody. I never considered social status as a requirement for friendship.
6. I know what I want in life and how to fulfill them. Being a medical doctor was a childhood dream. I have met many obstacles but never gave up. There even came a time that I thought I couldn’t make that dream a reality. That was when I received a low grade in Biology back in high school. But fate led me to the right path – for my choice, i.e. on the biological field, one step away from medical school. And now that I am here in medical school, I would give my utmost best to do good and eventually fulfill my dream – that is, being a doctor.
7. I enjoy being the sex I am. When I was in my elementary years, I was boyish. I thought being a member of the opposite sex was an advantage since as I have observed, there were few restrictions from parents. Being a girl would be less fun, so I thought. But when I was starting to reach my teenage years, I realized that it’s fun being the sex I am. I started to act a typical teenage girl do. And now, I am so much enjoying being a woman.

Flashback: Why I thought the internet was evil?

Another one of my Xanga entries: Why I think thought the internet was evil?
Internet is EVIL, don’t you think?
1. It’s a huge temptation. I need not cite examples why did I say so.
2. It’s time-wasting. Imagine?! You were just chatting with some friends, posting on message boards, blogging, and visiting some sites and then you suddenly came to your mind, cursing yourself because you already spent 7-straight hours in front your PC. “Stupid! It’s our session tomorrow yet I didn’t bother to read some of our topics. Study now, bitch!” But when you scan your books and encounter some boring words, especially those that requires you to get a dictionary and search them up, you’ll feel sleepy. Sometimes, unknowingly because maybe your eyes are tired, you fall asleep that when you woke up, you were late for school already!
3. It’s costly. One of our parents’ monthly habits are nagging about the internet bill, especially when you’re using broadband connection. You can still hear the voice of your mom, half-yelling, “Because of this, *holding the bill* you’ll have a 10% less from your allowance.” But it’s fine with us, as long as we have internet connection. We can endure the nagging and a less from our allowance but we can’t endure the thought that we’ll be offline for months.
4. It ruins some lives. When you have ample time, why don’t you try visit some internet cafês, you would think for a moment that you’re at a war zone. But all you see are students, busy clicking the mouse, playing Counter-Strike. Read the rest of this entry »

Flashback: Watching movies with your dad? Think again.
Jan 15, 2008 Flashback, Hacks and Tips, Movies
I dug up my entries in my Xanga and it’s a shame to realize that I was posting non-sense, boring posts (I couldn’t even think that I had readers!). Most of them contained mushiness and some with hint of humor. And oh, I was also fond of giving tips, nonsensical tips at that. So now, I came up with putting my favorite Xanga entries under one category which I will call “Flashback.”
This was my post where I provided “some tips” to my readers if they are planning to watch a movie with their fathers. The post was in reference to my dad. We were watching Troy and Kill Bill Vol. 2 at that time, when it was newly released in CDs, when suddenly dad came in, spoiling the fun by asking a lot of questions and expressing his “thoughts” about the movie.
So here are the tips:
1. If you’re watching a sequel and he happened to haven’t watched the first part, tell him beforehand that it is a sequel. Well, you wouldn’t want to reiterate the whole part 1, right? Just tell him you’ll borrow the part 1 next time so he can watch it.
2. Do not watch any foreign film with subtitle in it with him; dads have tendencies of reading aloud every word.
3. Should you feel like watching sexy romantic movies, make sure your dad isn’t home. You wouldn’t want to receive another dose of his sermon, right? And chances are, you’ll end up always fast forwarding when there are kissing and bed scenes. Mwahaha. Read the rest of this entry »
