Grey's Hangover

Just finished watching the season finale of Grey's Anatomy Season 6 and I must say, it's the best 2-hour episode ever. I was at the edge of my seats, my heart skipping, mouth-open, waiting for yet another shock. But after it all, it made me realize hoy wonderful it is to be a doctor. Although I'm pretty sure how exhausting and stressful it is, their dedication and desire to do their job indeed earn my respect.

The last two episodes of season 6 brought back the childhood dream killed 18 years ago. All of a sudden, a craving came to me. A desire to feel the excitement, the fear, the joy, the stress, and the pain of being a doctor. I suddenly felt the need to save lives... to cure and stop the pain instead of causing one.

Yes, I guess it's wonderful being a doctor. because you try your very best just to ease the pain and make things okay again... to repair hearts instead of breaking them.

I'm just happy that there are doctors out there...willing to go out of their way just to make you whole again. And probably regain your humanity, too.

Reminiscing UP Life with Best Friends

I just spent two days with college best friends. Roamed around UP... filed applications... tracked down profs... walked through the familiar corridors of AS, SC and FC...went inside UP Infirmary again... watched with glee how freshies underwent their routine physical exam (you should see their faces, they're so funny!)... rode IKOT and other UP PUV's... sat cross-legged by the LIB walk... walked to the OUR from AS and back... bought school supplies from Miranda (note: global warming, no plastics!)... had cold fruit shakes at Lutong-Bahay or Lutong Kapitbahay (whatever!) and spent hours there talking... went to the mall to watch a movie (just like we used to when we cut classes back then)...

and, chatted with, nodded, smiled, and laughed at familiar people, scenes and college routines long missed. Drenched in sweat, exhausted yet extremely HAPPY.
