Best. Summer. Ever.
This summer was definitely one of the best I had in terms of productivity and just sheer fun. Too bad it’s over.
Classes started last Wednesday. We were expecting an ‘orientations only’ first day so we didn’t realize that we were getting a lecture until it was already halfway through a doctor’s discussion of integrated management of childhood illnesses. After class, I finally left losersville and saw Iron Man.
I like third year so far. I’ve finally moved to my bigger, cheaper new dorm room. My friends live nearby so I won’t feel as alone as I did last year. I didn’t get a tv or an internet connection, my biggest time wasters last year, but I’ll be online on most weekends. I’ll do my best to still visit all your blogs.

Watch this!
I was the girl on top. I sat on my friend’s shoulder while she sat on our other friend’s shoulder. We first tried this out on a pool during our last immersion in Pampanga. It was a lot harder to do with the waves crashing on our bodies so we were really happy in the clip.
This was taken in Puerto Galera. I was there with three of my friends last May 6-8. It was a trip I thoroughly enjoyed. We stayed at Whitestone resort where even though we just used the room for sleeping, just the cr was worth every peso we shelled out. Aside from hitting the beach several times, we got henna tattoos, rode a banana boat,
went to Tamaraw falls and swam in ice-cold water, shopped at the local wet market, cooked sinigang, went snorkeling, had a pre-birthday celebration and got full body massages. On our last night, we laid our sarongs on the sand, lay down ourselves and just hangout until 4:30am. 300 photos and 11 shooting stars later, we were back in Manila just as it was getting drenched by heavy rains.
I was out of the house almost every day until classes started. I had my lessons per usual, I hang-out with a friend (oh hai Red!) at Starbucks making logos among other things (we were still sorta productive, right?) and I had to move all my stuff to my new dorm.
Last May 11, I attended my friend’s graduation party turned mini high school barkada reunion. She graduated cum laude from UPLB and she’s entering law school this June. My other kabarkada also graduated cum laude from UP-D last April. I’m so proud of both of them. Another kabarkada is going to take up med at USTe this June. I swear everyone in my high school barkada is an overachiever.
Yesterday, I went to the annual MIND (Movement of Idealistic and Nationalistic Doctors) convention. I was alone when I went there last year. At least this time I was with a couple of students from the college. I think last year’s convention was better though I must say I was thoroughly entertained by the accomplished Dr. Tony Oposa.
MIND is organized by Dr. Willie Ong. I don’t always agree with what he preaches (especially his love tips) and I admit to raising an eyebrow at his decision to endorse VitaHeart but he’s a guy whose good intentions have won me over. I admire his passion to help people. And though he seems ordinary, he has done an enormous amount of good.
You had an awesome vacation. Why does my summer suck.
Summer hasn’t officially started yet here as it’s still “Spring” season. We’re having our first ‘long weekend’ in my province (that’s when an official public holiday falls on a Monday — hence, ‘long weekend’). Means BBQ, parties, and good times begin…
“girl on top”. I figured you’d be the kind. Just teasing. :P
How’s the driving lessons? Kill anyone yet?
Heh. I knew someone was gonna comment on that. I’m just surprised it wasn’t Ade (kidding Ade! ;D ).
My driving lessons are on hold. So the streets are safe, for now.
Glad to hear that you had a great summer vacation. As for me… It’s still fine, even though I didn’t do what I really , really wanted to do during the break like learning how to play to the guitar. I’ve been dying to take tutorials for, like, a year already.
I’ve been to Puerto Galera for once, and my experience there is really unforgettable. The tropical climate, the trees, the sand… Absolutely “wow”. I didn’t like getting my skin burned to a darker brown complexion, though. HAHA.
I never had a good vacation. LOLZ~ XD XD
Prepare to laugh from your very own comment box! Muhahahaha. Ok, scratch that. Serious mode on.
Iszat a beri beri sexay woman on top? OHMAYGASH I STALK U NAO!
Ok serious na talaga.
I plan on not blogging or going online for a while. I have a ton of things to do and I’ve been putting them off for a long time now. I’m pursuing a dream (yes, at 27 y/o, I’m still doing that), and although I’m sure to close in on a breakthrough next year, I’m really working my ass off this month and the next so I can kickstart things this year. Iz a lot of mystery-cloaked shenaniganz now but wait til I tells it to you next month or so. AHAHAHA I assume you’re interested to hear!
Oh btw, when I locked myself in a dorm room with no TV or innarnetz, I didn’t have stellar grades, but I conquered one of the biggest challenges of my life. That was the bloody CPA review phase, and I never ever EVARRR, plan on going through it again, EVARRRRRR.
Just passing through… Nice vacation~ I haven’t been to the beach since like forever~ I so envy you… XD
lolz at CM’s comment…yeh very sexeh indeed xD. And I miss P. Galera… :3
Anywayz, summer’s juz beginning here (next month that is), so can’t wait what’s in store…(i really need a vacation haha xD.)
glad you had an awesome summer! i soooooo envy you. i had a boring one.
waah! dorm life! i’ll miss it! even though sometimes it’s boring as hell, but still it made up my student life haha.
naunahan nako sa green comment. :D but still, woohoo! i haven’t been to the sea in ages. sigh.
i planned to look at your photo ULs in Multiply but when i found out that there were hundereds, literally, cancel nalang, lol.
class ALREADY? why so early naman?
it’s funny because i actually meant to attend MIND this year, but come last Saturday, I completely forgot I was planning to go somewhere. i ended up going boot shopping with my mom instead. :P
i’m sure you’ll love 3rd year. the lectures are very medical and at the end of it, you’ll finally start feeling like a “real” doctor.
I’m so jealous. Beaches, great company, great weather and great food: definitely ingredients for the best summer ever!! :D
That’s a good drift of a summer. Ako ‘eto, still messing up as a life of a corporate slave. When will I have my “own life?” :p
Yeah, I could really tell from your Twitter posts that you’ve had the most enjoyable summer EVAR, which is cool since you deserve it after all the crap you’ve gone through as a med student.
LOL @ the video. Sooooo dark! But still, props to you guys for an outstanding execution of a human pyramid. *standing ovation WTF* Pang Guinness ang drama nyo LOLOLOL. XD
Looks like a lot of fun, makes me want to go to the beach.Looks like your summer was very eventful.
