2012

Hello, blog.
The lack of a constant internet connection forced me to go on hibernation but it doesn't mean I stopped yearning for blogging which has been a part of me for the past seven years or so. :(

InshaAllah, I will write my detailed updates in my next entry. For now, suffice it to say that 2012 had been an awesome year for me. The first quarter was the time I was crawling towards the end of internship after 366 days of residing in the hospital. I finished my internship neatly, without make-up duties or any demerits. in fact, I even made use of my merits in some departments to make up for some deficiencies. Alhamdulillah, I survived Philippine General Hospital! The second quarter was the time I locked myself reviewing for the Physicians Licensure Exam, and yes I literally did that. I threw the world behind while I faced my books for three whole months of jitters and anticipations. And all our hard work paid off. Our Class had a 97.8% passing rate, making us the fifth best medical school in the country. Fifth may sound so behind but we take pride in it, it inspires the younger batches to perform better to climb to a higher post. This was also the time I met the man I am going to marry. This is a premature announcement but yes, I am going to knot the tie soon and that deserves a whole entry. :) I passed the boards during the third quarter of the year and I skyrocketed  and began plummeting on the fourth quarter already. Haha! Yes, that long. Anyway, I bummed on the third quarter, well, not entirely because I processed my DTTB (Doctors To The Barrios) papers, but most of the time, I only stayed at home staring at thin air and contemplating my passing of the board exam. Haha! It sunk in a little longer. The fourth quarter was the time I began to work on my deployment at Maguindanao as DTTB. It wasn't my choice to get assigned to an apparently chaotic area, it was nothing but a twist of fate. Nevertheless, I always believed that God is the best planner so I accepted the challenge. Up to when I can handle this? Only God knows. Haha! Again, my DTTB experience deserves a whole entry. I'm crossing my fingers right now for the series of blog assignments I'm giving myself.

Life has been so good to me, Alhamdulillah. I cannot ask for more. :) 

I'm sitting at Bo's Coffee right now, here in Cotabato City and we only have until 7pm to loiter because no public transportation goes inside the area past 7pm. And it's almost 7pm now. Ok, time's up!
