I love that song. 


Can't believe my time in Mia is slowly but very surely drawing to a close. I have spent most of the time I have left in a study haze. I have been living, breathing, and finally dreaming boards. By the end of the week, I would be so exhausted that I'd just sit on my couch doing absolutely nothing. My plans to visit the beach every sunday fell by the wayside. My workouts became very non-existent. All I had left was food, cooking became my creative outlet. 


Hopefully all that focus will pay off on that very fateful day. I still have some gaps I hope to fill in by the end of this week. Mainly inborn errors, genetics and random stuff like that.

I really don't want to leave Mia. But it seems almost inevitable. In my moments of heartbreak, when I was in my twenties, I'd imagine myself in a desert town with a baby daughter with two afro puffs. Truly. So who knows maybe my subconscious spoke el paso into existence. Although my desert was somewhere in the state of Arizona. Don't ask. 


Meanwhile Mia has been showing off. Saw the most prettiest beginning of a sunset yesterday. I took a snap with my phone but I was unable to do the sight justice at all. Pretty orange peeking out from behind the white clouds. Love. 




Before I leave here,  I will capture a beach sunrise and sunset. Alas, I have no view, no beach, no bay, not even a river in ELP. My apartment faces a stone wall.  Yeah I chose it but dang.

working and the medical student.

Somehow I've become a writer who can't seem to bring herself to write. Okay, so to answer a question posed by bijouxoxo ten thousand years ago. Is possible to work and attend medical school? My biased answer is hell no. Do it at your peril. Medical school is all consuming. It's a jealous beast that wants the student's mind, heart, time, life. That's my word. There's just so much to learn and so little time in the day. Medical schools are trying to improve quality of life by shortening class hours but nevertheless we still spend at least 6 hours per day in class. Enough analysis, let me break it down but keep in mind that every school is different. First Year, first semester: My courses were Anatomy (time consumer), Biochemistry, Genetics, Nutrition, Physicians Patients & Society (PPS, discussing how to be a doc, ethics, customs, etc, luckily only once a week but two hours long, in the afternoon), Longitudinal Preceptor Program(LPP; follow a doctor for 2 yea...

I get so emotional baby every time I think of you...

I was first introduced to her amazing voice by my mother who brought her tape home one day. I played that album out, in fact, hers was the last voice I heard before I went to sleep every night.  Whitney, I loved her and eventually I came to know almost every song she had song to date (circa 1992-93, still don't know how because this was before Google, YouTube, ITunes, shoot the internet wasn't even widely accessible yet).   I remember being so excited for her when she was on Video Soul with Donnie Simpson talking about her soon to be born daughter and the name that she and her husband had finally agreed on: Bobbi Kristina.  I remember watching her perform on one award show or the other and shutting it down! I was in awe of her talent. She could SING! You couldn't talk bad about Whitney to me back then. A friend of mine dared to say Sade was prettier than Whitney, I'm still a bit mad at her for that. And when the Bodyguard soundtrack was released, I...

Bright lights in the big city...

I finally went to Las Vegas. It wasn't a pleasure trip. I was sent by my boss to learn how to code better and make money so really most of my time was spent in a teaching class and i am very proud to say that I didn't fall asleep once. I did get a chance to go for a spot of sightseeing after the class. I really dragged my feet but eventually at around 6pm, I was ready to leave the hotel. The hotel where I stayed was close to the monorail and bus so getting to the strip was super easy. I bought a 24 hour pass and I was good. My initial plan was to go to Bellagio and see the water show, the conservatory and then from there go to the outlet shops to see what i could see. However, and these people who built the monorail are very very brillant people, in fact, they need to get a genius grant for being good at separating tourists and their money because I was completely derailed once I got off the train at the stop for Bally's. As you, my one beloved reader, may or may not know...
