30 Day Song Challenge, Day 05 - a song that reminds you of someoneIgen og igen by Nephew
This song reminds me of Natacha, my cousin in Denmark, because this song was played everywhere when we were there. The title means "Again and Again," and that's the only part of the song that I understand, haha.
2. This made me think thinky thoughts at 4.30 in the morning. I got it from
my class's tumblr. It's like our version of postcard secrets, only there aren't any postcards involved:
Kung mga baso tayo lahat, may mga taong masaya nang kalahati ang laman. Mediocre. May mga taong pupunuin ang baso. Excellent! Pero may mga taong hindi titigil hanggang umaapaw na ang baso. Magis. Aba eh kalokohan pala magpaka-Magis eh. Una sa lahat, sayang tubig. Pangalawa, nakakapagod dahil hindi mo alam kung kailan titigil, kung kailan sapat na.
(If everyone had a glass, there are people who'd be satisfied with filling it up halfway through. Mediocre. There are those who will fill it to the brim. Excellent! But there are people who will never stop until water overflows. Magis. Seeing it that way, being Magis is ridiculous. First, it would be a waste of water. Second, it's exhausting because you don't know when to stop, when you've given enough.)
Am I doing the right thing? Am I meant to be a doctor? The only thing that stops me from giving into those doubts is that I'm
happy doing this, juggling medicine, public health, and management classes. Yes, the public health and management classes detract from the medical subjects, especially when I end up working on our research topic instead of studying for our weekly exams, but that's a really short-sighted view of the situation. Whether I end up in a clinic or in the communities, the soft skills that are being taught in those "extra" subjects are important. It doesn't matter how good a clinician you are, no patient will come to you if you don't know how to manage people.
Of course, I could just be rationalizing everything. Ateneo is really good at brainwashing its students. ;p
