Oh happy day!

Today is such a funny day. I expected it to be a bad one, considering I fell asleep at 3am and I had to have a tete-a-tete with a schizophrenic patient who believes she has psychic powers at 8am. But knowing me, I try to look for a ray of sunshine. Actually, trying hard na nga e to the point of merely entertaining myself with my little anecdotes and my little witty insults targeted to Derry. You litol slimey traitorrrrr!!!! Oh, I so love to laugh! Hwahaha! Med school is so freakin' routine-ish that sometimes I feel like I'm being swallowed by this huge gray sticky cloud of doom made up of weeks without rest, depressing terminally ill charity ward patients, deplorable facilities (buti nalang the hospital is right beside the school so if you hyperventilate because of your classmates' BO in an aircon-less room or get some enterobacteria from the toilets, mabilis lang ang trip to the ER diba?:) ) and unexcusably incompetent and boring teachers.

But now and then, I guess God allows a little magic into your life. Today I did a Leopold 1 maneuver on an 8-month-pregnant lady and felt...magic. Like the tingling sensation Aladdin felt when he touched the magic lamp, I suppose. In one instant, I felt a mixture of a lot of things...love, joy, hope... and all the good things you expect from life. And you feel everything bad just melt away. And you think, God, everything is just so worth it!
