Mother's Day Special

Masydo na bang late? this is supposed to be posted last MONTH since tagal na yung mother's day, nilagay ko sa draft tapos ngayon ko lang naungkat uli.


Quotes from my Mum:

"Hoy Karl, kung gumastos ka akala mo kung sino kang mayaman ah? Ako lang ang mayaman sa atin, hindi kayo"

------

"Akalain mo, ang laki laki mo nang tao nagkasya ka sa tiyan ko?!"

-----

Phone rings. "Ma, bakit po?"
Mommy, "Uhmm... di ko alam. Mamaya nalang"

------

Mom stares at me for a long time...
"Bat ang pangit mo na Karl? ano nang nangyari sayo?"

--------

"Pae? ilan ang guest limit sa debut mo? naku 250? pano ba yan, 200 palang dun, mga friends ko.. 50 nalang dapat friends mo ha?"

---------

gay nung debut ni pae, ginugupitan ako
gay: ang gwapo nitong panganay mo tita
mommy: ay yan si karl? sus. pangit pa yan, tignan mo yung mga sumunod sa kanya"

minutes later... shan nd shen arrives

mommy: o bakla, diba ang gwapo nung iba? wala lang yang si karl

(nice one, ma. hehe)

---------

(pag highschool friends ang pinag-uusapan)
Karl: "Ma, punta lang po ako kay JC, yung highschool friend ko"
Mommy: "ah yung gwapo? sige lang anak"
Karl: "naks, basta gwapo at maganda yung friend ko naaalala mo noh?"
Mommy: "hindi naman mga gwapo't magaganda yung mga naaalala ko... minsan natatandaan ko rin yung mga ibang friends mo na saksakan ng pangit. nalilimutan ko lang yung mga in-between. "

---------
mom (sa text): karl, nagbayad na ba ng downpayment si jessa para sa resort?
karl: di ko po alam. ikaw po may kilala dun, contact mo yun, kaya kaw na po magtanong syempre
mom: ay oo nga naman. katabi ko sya ngaun eh. hahahaha.

-----------


karl "waaaaaaaa. ang hirap ng Med maaaaaaaaaa!"
mom "ikaw kasi. to help humanity ha?! buti nga"

---------

karl: ma, magdorm na ako, para naman malaking ginhawa sa akin"
mom: HUWAG KANG MAGDORM!
karl: bat naman po?



mom: mamimiss kita



awwww. Happy Mother's Day Mommy Bear! :D

Hello, Pharma.

bago palang tayo nagkita, minahal na kita...

ngayon pa lang sasabihin ko na. mahalin mo rin ako. balita ko nga napakahirap mong mahalin pagka't napakataas daw ng iyong pride at blockbuster ka daw sa mortality last year. pero against all that, mamahalin kitang parang pagmamahal ni Vicky Belo kay Hayden (against all odds). Parang pagmamahal ko sa LOST at One Tree Hill at Survivor combined. Parang pagmamahal ni Jesus Christ sa sangkatauhan, (pero not to the point of death, syempre, pano ako magiging doctor kung patay na ako diba?)


Kakaenroll ko lang kanina... Lahat ng mga incoming second years lumabas ng Med building na may hawak na brown envelope. Akala ko kung anong raffle man yun or certificate ang binigay ("I passed Physio?"), yun pala... tadaaaaan! ang unang Buena Mano mo, ang appetizer mo, and 160 pesos mong panimula sa isang taong tiyak na magiging makulay... kulay dugo.

pagpasok ko ng Physio/Pharma department, sinalubong ako ni Mam Monet ng isang pagkalaki laking ngiti at sinabing, "karl! congrats! magpapharma ka na! o wag ka na dito dun ka na sa kabilang department"... , buong tapang kong tinawid ang kabilang ibayo ng department at tadaaaaan! ayan ang Diyosa ng Pharma...

*drumroll*

Dra. Llamas
.

syemre nandun din si Handouts Goddess na si Mam Bee, at grabe ang ngiti niya sakin, "Ayan, magpapharma ka na!" sabay kumanta ako ng "Bakit ngayon ka lang"... nagtawanan silang dalawa... Si Dra Llamas, biglang sinabi, o, irreg nanaman, tama nang Physio nalang ha? ngayon pa lang mag-aral ka na. may quiz tayo sa first day. why not? first day of classes may exam.

"naku mam, may outing ata ako nun"

"icancel mo na. icancel mo ang lahat para sa pharma."

"oo nga po, pharma major ako ngayon eh. buti magaan dahil wla nang micro and others"

sabay tawa. tumatawa lang kaming tatlo hanggang paalis ako. at sabay isa pang hirit ng word of wisdom ni Dra Llamas sakin:

"Sige lang, tumawa ka muna ngayon" with a grin on her face

Time stopped. And her words echoed many times inside. a cold wind passed by, and outside, it started to rain again, and all i can hear were the hisses of paper coming out of mam bee's lair. we all know what she means. She's not trying to scare me, she's just stating the cold truth...

That Pharma is going to be Epic. I've been warned by every Medical student who've been through it, some will be taking it again, some said goobye to UST Med just because of it. Even the gods of med said it's hard. Even the Residents say it's hard. Even the professors say it's hard. Maybe even God would say it is hard?

This is it. The battle of drugs, antibiotics, narcotics, analgesics, NSAIDS.
The battle of endless monday nights, of eternal thursday nights,
of prayers
and of faith,
and of willpower.

Hello to the Love of my Life
Hello, Pharmacology.

Let's do this.

(for non-med peeps, Pharma is believed to be the Hardest subject in UST Med. Has the worst mortality rate, even worse than Revalida.)

Our Little Princess

our little girl just celebrated her debut last saturday :)


and like what Dad said, no matter what happens, when she grows up and have a family of her own, she would always be our little princess. :)


i realized that the more than one year of planning for a 5 hour debut is, indeed, worth it. :) because we can see in her eyes that she really was happy. :) and we are too.

gatecrashers should be tortured to death. and i realized, when Pae said, "huwag mong uupakan yan kuya.", i immediately complied. (but i ran to the Misa and dwtl table to rant about it, haha)

i realized She has so many friends. and so many people love her aside from us. hahaha.

the four of us are all growing up. but then, we are all growing closer together, all growing up together. That there will always be a time where the 4 of us will sit by the sofa and laugh about how our life's going about. laugh about each other, and laugh about ourselves.

and DWTL has made us more close. after every weekend, while all of us are going home tired, we'd still talk about how the batch has been and how great He is. especially when someone dear to us is a candidate. ahem. kirk. ahem. :)

and again, we are, growing up. and growing old.  but like what a dwtl song says, "Together you and I will grow in love, walk through rough times hand in hand."

that with all the girls i know, she has the only right to shout at me. because i know she'd say sorry right after. :)


and yes, i'm drunk while doing this. haha. :) I love Pae. I love mi familia. I love mi Life. :D
