bwiset ka.
It's logical to plan for massive events such that you won't disrupt the lives of hundreds of people. Manila City Government, I'm looking at you.

I was able to witness that sheer number of commuters in Manila walk the streets not in protest but in resignation. They just have to walk home or at least far enough from that massive clog so they can ride a jeepney towards home.

Also, you don't allow any organization to use a venue if you know for a fact that that venue will not be able to contain their desired number of attendees.

bakit ba ang manic-manic ng mga usong dance numbers ngayon? covering lots of styles in a span of 30 seconds. I commend the skill needed for this and the unique talent for creating these types of pieces but I would really like to see choreography that exhibits the full potential of a style or fresh use of the different dance styles. But that's just the me who demands to be inspired and not just entertained when I watch a dance.

prior to LU 5, I feared for my med education since I wasn't using Harrison's and the other med books during LU4. I often hear that the reason why other med schools fare well in the boards is because they were able read these. That fear is now gone. I am learning to appreciate the design of the curriculum. As we encounter patients, we are forced to read about the diseases (and yes, I use the plural) the patient has. Due to the variety of patients we encounter, we get to go through Harrison's, Nelson's or William's one way or another. And  the design treats us as graduate students who should take a proactive role in our education.

It's funny how some people on twitter are responding to an atheist on TV. Some are questioning his atheism because he has a nice attitude, just angry at the Catholic church, his name means God is with us, and, the reason I found most laughable, open to the existence of God.

I'm offended at how lightly these people treat our decision to let go of a god (or gods). I would like to think that for most nonbelievers, it is a product of a long period of soul searching. From birth, my family would instill the value of the Christian God in my life and realizing that I don't care for that almost amounts to betrayal of my family. Eventually, I had to try and compromise. Maybe I can still believe in a god but not it's religion. Maybe this is just the wrong religion, I should test others. Maybe I'm not trying hard enough. In the end, I just let it go and choose to live life freely without these things. I still need to tell my parents about it but they don't need to know right now.

Of course, I'm still open to the existence of a god or gods. I just don't feel the need for it and its teachings to guide my life. I have a brain and I will use it.

so much for being stellar in OB-GYN. Will have to work hard on other exams to maintain my average and ensure plans are intact.
