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,…

In a Battle
I am well-armed today, fully equipped in my woolen attire from head to toe. No, not for that battle-but for the battle against flu. I’ve been sick and practically tied to the sofa since the weekend, and I can feel the symptoms worsening today. It’s unfortunate, especially since I’m starting to get bored. But what…

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,…

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…

Working Weekend
This weekend is my very first working weekend this new year and first working weekend in my three month old job. It is also the first time that I’m spending weekend away from my little one so it’s a bit emotional because I miss her. But this is the reality of working in the hospital-…

Alone but not lonely
Today’s my very first evening shift at my new job. It went well despite of the feeling of exhaustion eventhough I had an 8 hour sleep last night. I feel that I never get enough sleep no matter how long or short I sleep and I think it’s because I’m feeling anxious about the future…

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…

Hard to Find
It’s been three weeks since I last combed my thick long wavy hair. It’s not that I’m lazy but I lost my good old Body Shop comb, unfortunately. But the good thing is that I started to just stop caring about how people think about my looks and the best thing is that I don’t…

My Autumn Musings
It is that time of the year where everyday is gray and wet. The time that the mist takes over some of the early mornings. However, autumn is beautiful (because of its colours) just like the other seasons despite the fact that it is also depicted as something sad and is always a symbol of…

Unknown Water
Staying at home for the past weeks has been though for everyone. Though I understand the sentiments people who complain about the community quarantine, I find it hard to accept that rudeness around the globe arises. I was like, they should just shut their mouth and focus on other things rather than hating on other…

My Birth Experience
Five months ago I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. The birth didn’t go smooth as I hope it would. Well, I pictured myself giving birth in just a couple of hours. I wished! But as a first timer that would be difficult and that’s what happened.. difficult. However, I’m beyond grateful that my…
