There have been challenges coming my way recently but the blessings are more abundant. And who said challenges can’t be blessings? :)

Thank You, Steve Jobs
Obama: ‘There may be no greater tribute to Steve’s success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented.’
So true.
Rest in Peace, Steve Jobs
Apple says, “Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being.” Let’s not forget that he is a big loss to Disney and Pixar, too.
Without him, I wouldn’t be typing this on my iPad, nor would I be able to enjoy my music and study with my iPod.
Thank you for sharing your genius! You definitely changed the world for the better.

Anything can happen...
especially nothing.
In just a week, I heard a carotid bruit, an S3 heart sound, crackles, and the heart sounds of a patient with pericardial effusion. I know other people don’t care about these things, but the fact that I was eager to learn about them made me realize once more that I’m in the right place. Med school, I love you! =)

A Heartfelt Goodbye
You were one of my favorites, and I don’t have many. You were extremely talented, a musical genius whose works will continue to live and inspire people for many, many generations to come. I’m overwhelmed.
REST IN PEACE, AMY JADE WINEHOUSE.

It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light!”

Paul: I love you.
Holly: So what?
Paul: So what? So plenty! I love you. You belong to me!
Holly: No. People don't belong to people.
Paul: Of course they do!
Holly: I'll never let anybody put me in a cage.
Paul: I don't want to put you in a cage. I want to love you!

This "S" Thing
No, this isn’t about your favorite three-letter word.
Well, recently, some people around me as well as myself have noticed that I seem Stressed.
You know life becomes potentially stressful when:
You have to take 5 long exams in only 2 consecutive days.
There are two other long exams that week.
The first of the seven exams is virtually impossible to pass.
You find out there’s a...

Today I was going through all my loads of files I had saved on the computer at school and decided to delete some. I came across one with that read “The World” and went to delete it. It read “Would you like to delete ‘The World’?” I clicked no. You know… just in case. MLIA.
Simply made my night. :D

Hello, Medical School!
Yesterday, it was my first time to dissect a cadaver. Some say it is when you realize that you are in Medical school. I agree.
And I couldn’t be more glad to have embarked on this journey.
Med school, I have really strong feelings for you and I will work hard to make you love me too. :)

And so I cry sometimes when I’m lying in bed
Just to get it all out, what’s in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What’s goin’ on?
What’s Up by 4 Non Blondes, easily one of the greatest songs of the 90’s and...

So this is how it feels.
Starting tomorrow, four of the most important people in my life will be at least 1,000 miles away from me. A fifth is nearer but the travel to her place is longer due to the lack of plane rides. Gah.

Don’t worry about my recent lack of posts. I will give you more attention when I get well. :)
