Inasmuch as I would have wanted to update any of my blogs regarding the goings on in my life. I found that it’s just not that too possible to insert blogging in my heavy schedule unlike what I imagined. Although sometimes I find myself with nothing to do, I couldn’t muster enough courage to actually do some blogging – or even bloghopping for that matter – while I am stuck at the Pediatric Unit.
Anyway, just another week to go and I’m done with my first department for clerkship. It saddens me to be away from these children no matter how sick they are. Rotating in Pedia made me realize how much I am attached to these kids – well and sick alike. My desire to be a Pediatrician was intensified but this is not to say that I am no longer considering other options anymore. What my seniors have been saying is true. That most of you would get your true calling once you’ve stepped out of the comforts of the classroom and see sick patients with your own eyes. Duty days have been harder for me in the last couple of 24-hour duties I’ve had. There was a reshuffling of our schedules and I ended up being with two interns instead of an intern and another clerk and then just recently one of them, an extern, (interns not coming from SLCM) quit the internship program at our hospital. Now, it’s just the two of us; making work a lot more challenging than for us than before. I rarely go out these days since clerkship started and if I ever get a chance to step out of the house, it’s always to the nearest mall where I’d frequent beauty stores, surplus shops and specialty shops for my everyday needs. My shopping habits have been altered in a way as well. I shop less of clothes now and more of make-up goodies since there are less chances of me going out to have fun. At least having a complete stash of make-up in my bag would help me look fresh even if I hardly had any sleep.
I used to think that there’s no way I’d think twice about going to medicine but the heart-to-heart talks I’ve had with a bunch of friends and the responsibilities that come with being a clerk that I’ve come to realize both helped in bursting my bubble. What the doctors have been saying are true. This is indeed a very tiring profession that requires not just a heart but the endurance to boot. I know I have the heart for this but my health, as I’ve noticed in the past two months has been a hindrance for me to do my work as perfectly as I want them. It sucks really…

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like Mixview that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what youre listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of neighbors will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune Social is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
