From C-Scare to Shock
After months of hiatus, I’m finally back! Despite my hectic work schedule, numerous doctor visits, and a couple of trips to the ER, I’m doing completely fine—and I’m truly grateful for that. However, before things returned to normal, I became sick, burned out, and lethargic. Despite my efforts to exercise and regain my health and…

Overstimulated
I think some people believe I’m starting to become antisocial these days. But no, I don’t hate anyone—I’m not the Grinch. I just need my space to unwind after long hours at work. Sometimes, that can take hours, days, weeks, or even months! To recharge, I sleep as much as I can and pamper myself…

Thank You!
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been receiving compliments and positive feedback at work, and I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge them. As I’ve mentioned before, working with people is never easy because we all have different personalities. There are times when certain individuals can get on your nerves, and at moments,…

That Kind of Day
Some days really test you—today was one of them. It was a full, demanding day at the hospital. I spent a couple of hours working with clinical patients, assisting the radiologist during biopsies and ultrasound-guided procedures. I usually handle it well, but today something felt off. As soon as I stepped into the procedure room,…

A Colorful Mess
I’m sharing some of my 6 year old’s obra maestra. The living room might be “messy” when she’s in her creative bubble and I might have been a bit of a cranky mom because of the mess, but I’m glad that she’s enjoying painting and doing what she loves. She can use almost anything as…

The Cancer Patient
Today I met her again. Though with a shaved head, I recognized her. Despite the fact that she was diagnosed with breast cancer six weeks ago, she radiates with positivity. She’s back for more tests and supplementary mammograms. While she constantly smiles and said that she’s fine, her eyes told me otherwise. I felt sad…

Recuperating
I’ve been sick for a month now because of rhinovirus and strep infection. I never thought that a common cold could be so cruel to me this season. I used to be better after a week but this time is different. The bug forced me to stay home for a month and also caused a…

5 Weeks to Go!
So, I just signed up for a relay race and today I’ve already started planning on how am I going to train for the race. It’s a 6 kilometer run and damn I already get bored after half a kilometer! My plan is to first run 2 km straight without breaks and increase the distance…

Duck-Goose Disaster
Apparently, there’s no disaster here! It’s just that seeing this goose reminds me of an episode in Family Guy where they played the game “Duck Duck Goose”. That scene makes me laugh a lot. 😄 I found this goose and its mate when I went for a walk yesterday.

Physically Present
I still exist. At work, at home and on the road. Trying my best to co-exist with my thoughts. It’s weird though because the thoughts are actually there, yet I feel that those thoughts are confined in a see through glass box that I can see but cannot access whenever I want to. Because of…

The Punishment
I was 15 minutes late at the gym yesterday and because of the that my personal trainer “punished” me. Instead of the regular exercises, I had to do a very effective workout program in just max 35 minutes because my PT had an appointment afterwards. So, I had a high intensity workout that is also…

One of those days.
No matter how careful you are, sh*t can still happen. I can still remember when my car slid off the road because of the snow/ice last Sunday. I was shaken and scared. I thought that I won’t be able to get back on track again. Luckily, my car made it and I moved on without…
