Except from the fact that it did helped me lose some lbs, I hate exams. Who wouldn't?? After the torturous series last week, I should be out in the mall looking for the next bargain or at home reading some really fun stuff except medical textbooks. But I'm sulked here on my chair with an 8-page Physiology trans on my lap, gathering strength to get this over with. I still haven't let go of Monday's Biochemistry horror. Yes, I might have redeemed myself on the long exams (6 for the whole year) but I'm not quite sure if I can fix this one dreaded finals. It's like trying to fit a 120G info on some 4G memory. Lately, I've been very religious. Calling on to God for guidance. Like now.

So if you're one of the faint-hearted, better be ready for this.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Prepare to do some cutting, slicing, dissecting, peeling, breaking, marinating, sauteing, crunching, munching, sweating and a whole lot of grimacing. You'll get to do this in your Anatomy lab.</span><br /><br /><span style=" font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;" >How to be a Master Slicer:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">You'll need:</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">- pair of gloves</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">- face mask</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">- laboratory gown</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">- dissecting set</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">- teamwork</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">- </span><span style=" font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;" >tibay ng sikmura</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">- brain (this is important)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">1. First, uncover the body</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">2. Focus on the area to be studied (e.g. upper limbs)</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">3. Open your Anatomy Manual </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">4. Follow isntructions on the manual (sometimes we don't even bother to do this. *wag tularan*)</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">5. Start by making an incision on the skin. Not too deep so you don't cut the muscles underneath.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">6. Be careful not to cut the important nerves and blood vessels. It is important that you identify them, their collateral branches and which muscle they innervate.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">7. Remember to cut the muscles on its belly (middle part) and only after you have identified them.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">8. After working on it, give it a nice formaldehyde bath so it would last long enough for you to learn everything there is to learn.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">WARNING: During this period, there will be professors making "</span><span style=" font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;" >ronda</span><span style="font-family:georgia;">" in the laboratory (yes, just like the MMDA hiding behind a bush near the stoplight waiting for their next victim). So unless you and your groupmates want to get some fun-loving "boljak", be sure to read ahead before every topic is discussed in the lecture. Cause there'll surely be some question and answer portion (Again, just like being pulled over by the MMDA).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Of course, being a medical student isn't just about books, exams, nerdiness, and everything in between. One must also think that that day will come when those diseases you read on books will actually be experienced by a patient. That the patients you will meet won't just be people with diseases but people who have real lives. And that the cadaver lying on your lab table was once a part of a family, a son/daughter and a friend just like you do.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">At times, I would randomly think: "I wish I had known this guy (our cadaver). What was he like when he was still alive? Did he had kids? A job? What kind? No one knows but at least we all know he's going to be a huge help to our future patients. Hell, he's one of the most important person in our med school life. Now isn't that superb?</span><br /><br /><h3 style=" font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;color:#ff6666;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Ecclesiastes 3:1- </span></h3><span style=" font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;color:#ff6666;" > </span><span style="font-size:100%;"><sup style="color: #ff6666; font-family: georgia; font-style: italic;">1</sup></span><span style=" font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;color:#ff6666;" > For everything there is a season,</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style=" font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;color:#ff6666;" > a time for every activity under heaven.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style=" font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;color:#ff6666;" > </span><span style="font-size:100%;"><sup style="color: #ff6666; font-family: georgia; font-style: italic;">2</sup></span><span style=" font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;color:#ff6666;" > A time to be born and a time to die.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style=" font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;color:#ff6666;" > A time to plant and a time to harvest.</span><br /><br /></div></div>Vain Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09411692765666395968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444375363338537942.post-43607666638588356552011-07-31T11:45:00.012+08:002011-08-13T10:27:51.440+08:00How to Survive Med School Tip #15: Learn a Different Language<div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 470px; height: 353px;" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6129/5945131727_ccf1660377.jpg" alt="Image0038" />

<br /><div style="text-align: justify; font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Yes, those words above are in English. This is a slide presentation taken from Biochemistry class, one of the major subjects in the College of Medicine curriculum.
<br />
<br />If you're planning to enter med school, be sure to choose a pre-med course that has a medical background / subjects such as chemistry, biology, anatomy or in other cases take some science program of the course beforehand. Or else, be ready to bleed out (more like, hemorrhage) when you start your med school.
<br />
<br />I never did get along with Chemistry when I was in my BS Nursing, all the more with Biochemistry right now. So how do I cope? Simple. Milk some guy who knows more about the subject and let him teach you. <span style="font-weight: bold;">OF COURSE I'M JOKING! </span><span>(Never do this, they might find out) :D</span>
<br />
<br />In med, you cannot thrive if you're lazy. Lazy reading, lazy studying, lazy eating and yes even lazy partying (You read that right, partying). You really have to read your books and allot time on studying. Another factor is a sharp mind and memory. This is your armor for battle. It isn't necessary to memorize everything, what's important is that you get to know the how-why-when-what mechanism of the subject being discussed, and of course not forget about it.

One word comes in mind - coffee, a med student's daily dietary supplement wouldn't be complete without this. But besides having coffee, coffee shops can be a relaxing place to unwind for some of us (I meant for myself). Although I don't really drink coffee on a regular basis and maybe that's why I never finish reading a darn chapter in Anatomy, I go here when I need to reward myself after a hard day's "work", to take a moment and reflect on action potentials, carbohydrate metabolisms, hamstring muscles and of course, to relax :)<br /><br />And what other way to pamper myself but to order their sweet waffle topped with whipped cream and chocolate syrup - Chocolate Belgian Waffles ^_^</span><br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-family: georgia;"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6010/5945689476_3db92c32c5.jpg" alt="Image0030" height="500" width="375" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Being someone who nearly has their life cycle broken down to an eat-study-read-sleep process (wait I forgot, there is no sleep, again, eat-study-read-read process) allows you to appreciate the simpler things in life - in my case, a piece of sweet bread and the company of a friend.<br /><br />After more than a month of going to med school, you begin to finally realize that riding a public jeepney was more fun than driving/taking a cab, that eating street foods and having a laugh with friends is better than a 15-minute lunch in a resto and that sleep is way priceless than any other high profiled party or event you're invited to.</span><br /><h3 style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"><span style="font-size:85%;"><u>Mark 6:31</u></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" > </span> </h3><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" > </span><p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"><span style="font-size:85%;"> And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. </span></p><br /></div></div>Vain Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09411692765666395968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444375363338537942.post-72749074063153488762011-06-24T21:04:00.006+08:002011-06-25T19:34:13.684+08:00The Sofa Set Project<span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify; font-family:georgia;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;">As promised, here are the newly taken pictures of my the sofa set we had custom made.<br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3073/5868678795_a009e00577.jpg" alt="IMG_4844" width="500" height="325" /><br /></span></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><img style="width: 512px; height: 318px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5230/5866651068_3ee6e3707f_b.jpg" alt="IMG_4855" /></span><br /></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><br />Since we have a small spaced living area, we finally decided to give up the search for L-shaped sofas in malls and opted to have it purposely done to fit our cute love nest.<br />We chose mahogany for the accent woodwork color to match the interiors of the house and thought a sandy color for the upholstery would make the room appear brighter and more spacious.

Tonight, I'm gonna blog about my things-to-do list. OK, I'm joking.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">This day, I told myself I am going to spend at least 5-6 hours reading about The Cell from my Histology class. It's not really an advance reading, more like what-was-the-professor-talking-about kind of reading. I managed to finish half of Chapter 2 and that's because I started in that chapter.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Apart from this day's major assignment, the new sofa set got delivered this afternoon.

F-A-T. As in thicker, richer and fluffier adipose tissues :)</span><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Going into med school requires and sets you to change and accept a new kind of lifestyle. That is, weekdays would mean studying at least 3-4 hours a day (in your own time) and weekends would be spent preparing for the weekdays. Although, note that Fridays should be allotted for rest / chill / past time / party (if you still have the energy for it).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Disclaimer:</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Statements shown above are just mere opinions I came up with in these early weeks of my freshman year. It may or may not change by the time I reach the 2nd year or thankfully graduate.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Yet it is very important that you chip in some time to exercise, go malling with friends, watch movies or just have something to do that has nothing in relation with medicine or studying. </span><span style="font-family:georgia;">Because good guys need a break.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">And in order to survive in this tough med world, you have to learn how to fight hard despite all the gruesome wars. Fight = study. War = exams. Of course studying and actually learning, wouldn't be a bit easier if you don't have efficient resources and facilities.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2677/5841464353_4f3936d62a_b.jpg" alt="Image0021" width="500" height="300" /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;" >This was taken at the Nursing Auditorium of UERM @ Physiology Orientation.</span><br /><br /></div><span style="font-family:georgia;">They had it built by the same contractor who did MOA's iMax theater.

What I do is I just put on a pea size amount enough to cover and moisturize my face after toning and leave it on for a few minutes just to let it settle and slightly be absorbed by the skin so it won't be that heavy and cakey when I put on some setting powder.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">And since I'm an oily freak, this is a very important step that I should do. </span><br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Shade: 5 out of 5</span><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"> For the shade, it comes in a pearly white tint which I love since it seems to brighten up my complexion. I would recommend this for the fair ones either having pinkish or yellowish tones. For the darker shades of the Filipinas, I think this would be okay too just adjust the shade of your setting powder and foundation if you still need to apply just so it's easier to blend it in with your natural color.</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Staying Power: 4 out of 5</span><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"> I have hospital shifts for 12 hours and I think it does keep up its good job. Although I really don't go out that much or expose myself to the sun (as the photo-phobic that I am), I think it protects me from the artificial lights sources such as the OR lights especially if we have to handle a case for 3-4 hours. (It's like artificial sunbathing!)<br />It lasts for about 10-12 hours I think and apart from its sole purpose, it also doubles as a make-up primer, moisturizer and skin treatment regimen in one. It even fades out my pimples marks and uneven skin tone.</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">On Cam: 5 out of 5</span><br />This gives out a slightly white cast on cam so don't overdo it or you'll end up looking like crinkles or worst, Bozo the clown.<br /><br /></span></div><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);font-family:lucida grande;font-size:100%;" >Will I continue using this?</span><span style=";font-family:lucida grande;font-size:100%;" ><br /></span><span style=";font-family:lucida grande;font-size:100%;" > Absolutely.

It promises a more supple, brighter and younger looking skin providing more collagen and elastin build up on our skin.<br /><br />I heard about this supplement in a Japanese site I came across back some lazy old times in front of the computer. Its popularly used and the no. 1 bestseller in Japan, Hongkong and I think Singapore too!<br />Hmm, maybe thats why they have really great, smooth, young-looking skin..<br /><br />I even read a mid-aged woman claiming it made her look like in the late 30's after taking it for almost 2 years (thats 24 cans!). I also heard that it lessens oiliness, stubborn pimples and makes skin glow. Others also claim it made their whitening regimen much better since it gives them that dewy-supple look combining with the pinkish glow thanks to glutathione ;)<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Dang!

I'm really happy I included this to my morning regimen. It doesnt only helps me have great skin it also keeps me from being too lazy to get out of bed. (haha!)</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">I would just be excited every morning to wake up and have the thought of drinking this.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">The taste is kinda of milky with a tang but very bearable I suppose.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Its not what others say that it has some kind of a fishy after taste. In fact, I really got addicted to the taste that sometimes, I just take small amounts in between directly from the scoop! (Talk about guilty pleasures)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"> I'm taking this for almost a month now and it as early as 3 week, I began noticing its effects. My face isn't that oily anymore thinking that 3 weeks ago, I was a human oil mine. I also started noticing a slightly plumper behind (blush) and I'm sure its from the collagen powder since I've been watching what I eat.</span><br /><br /></div><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Will I continue using this?</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Hell yeah! ^_^ I'm planning to keep this in my regimen for years I hope.
