Goodbyes have been particularly sad for me everytime. They never fail to make me very sad and depressed. That's why I am always sad when one of my blogroll friends decide to quit blogging and close down their blog.
I lost quite a few of them already. Some I read regularly. It's just sad to see someone who is part of your virtual, online life cut the cords and leave your life. You see, I don't really get close to people and I have only a couple of friends I really cherish.
Blog friends are different. I feel comfortable with them. And if I do become friends with them outside the virtual world, I get so attached to them. They become a part of me and when they leave, I feel like a part of me was taken off.
Friends I am really close to are the closest people can get to me. I tell them everything from the most trivial things to my personal problems. Maybe half of my blogroll has already closed. I wonder what will I do if I was the only one left here. Will it be the same? Or this will just be another empty world?
That's why I hate goodbyes. And that's why even though sometimes I don't have anything to write about, I still don't say goodbye. I will just be here waiting. And maybe someday they'll come back. And they'll not have a hard time looking for me because I am still here where they left me all along.

Lesson 1:
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings.
The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor.
Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel, "
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.
When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?"
"It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies.
"Great," the husband says, "did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"
Moral of the story
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time,you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

Lesson 2:
A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.
The nun said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?"
The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.
The nun once again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?"
The priest apologized "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak."
Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.
On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129 It said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory."
Moral of the story
If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.

Lesson 3:
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out.
The Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one wish."
"Me first! Me first!" says the admin clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world."
Puff! She's gone.
"Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life."
Puff! He's gone.
"OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager.
The manager says, "I want those two back in the office after lunch."

Always let your boss have the first say.

Dang. So sorry for not posting lately.I encountered a serious problem just last week but unfortunately I can't post it here. It's too personal. Anyway, it led me to reflect about my life. It made me think about how ready am I to be independent and it was not fun at all.
I was scrambling to make my resume and looking at my bank account and thinking how far it will get me. The event made me question how far am I going to make if I suddenly decide to move out and be totally independent.
I was quite confident thinking that I would do well alone. But there is still some hesistation and fear that I might not get a job soon enough and my bank account would run dry. I realize that I should really save up. I also realized that our tuition is so expensive. Imagine 92,000 per semester and dear lord, they are going to increase it again next year.
I can't believe Catholic priests can rip people off like that. Ohh, I can't wait to graduate.
By the way, I just recovered from a weird illness. The doctor didn't really conclude the diagnosis but I had muscle, joint, bone pains and muscle weakness on and off for some weeks and I got so dizzy for a week. Luckily, it went away and the symptoms are now lighter. It really might be just due to stress.

Hmm... This blog is NOT yet dead. Hehe.
I am just quite busy with Obstetrics. I can't believe pregnancy and all are these complicated.
I believe that normal obstetrics should be handled by midwives and nurses. They are trained professionally to do this after all. Obstetricians should be concerning themselves with more complicated cases.
Today labor and delivery were discussed and at the end we watched a video of it all. Gosh it's so bloody especially episiotomy. Episiotomy is really cutting the labia to make a wider opening of the vagina. That's pretty much the meaning.
When that part of the video was being shown, I can see and hear the reactions of my female classmates who were all gasping and groaning. It was gross I tell you.

Well, here's a final farewell to year 2008. What a year! I can't believe it has only been a year. Feels like a decade to me. So many things happened.
In 2008, I finished and defended an undergraduate thesis. I also graduated from college with flying colors.
It was also in 2008 when I lost my iPhone. Poor me. Some major decisions were made like going to med school. Actually I already decided that I would go to med school since I am already talking up the pre-requisites in 2007. But it was actually in 2008 when I entered med school.
I learned so much in 2008. I suppose I grew up. The year enriched both my knowledge and wisdom.
I also made peace with the past. I forgave people who I can't stand. Recently, I learned from a friend that people from college have been badmouthing me. Haha. Why wasn't I surprised considering the losers that they are? It's time to sweep away the dust.
Well, don't really know what to expect in 2009. With the global recession in full swing, who knows what will happen. I just hope that it will be better. Hello 2009!
