Emma Bunton - Take My Breath Away

I am currently having my rotation in the nursery. I don’t like children in general but that doesn’t mean I hate them. I remember I even made a 5 year-old patient cry infront of his parents. Babies, well yeah they’re cute but not on their first few days of life. They look like newborn mice in my imagination. It was only recently that I was able to appreciate their beauty. And I never thought I’d be this addicted to them. Before, I refuse to carry them because I felt like I’m capable of crushing them with my bare hands. My co-intern even told me that he’d place them on prone position when they wouldn’t stop crying, I’m not that cruel to that. One day I was given the chance to feed one of the babies. It was magical. I can’t explain how I felt. That instance made me want to cry, crazy. I’m so in love with babies now. Even if it made my hands as dry as the desert sand because I have to wash everytime, it’s all worth it. They smell really good. And one addiction that I have is smelling their breath. I am so thrilled to see them yawn so that I can take an overdose of their aromatic breaths. Weird,  but I’m so hooked to it. Too bad tomorrow’s my last day with the babies. I’ll just make one for myself, kidding!

Bucky Covington - Superstition

 

Filipinos are so fond of superstitions. In fact, i have learned a few new ones as i got into clerkship. They say that eating noodles and wearing red will make your entire duty as toxic as hell. Same is true when you had “dirty living” the night before, whatever that means. And the odd ways of counteracting toxicity is by eating ice cream or halo-halo. I even heard recently that eating egg pie also works. Weird, but when you‘re really tired in the middle of the night you’ve got no choice but to succumb to it. Well I personally do not believe in those things. Last  night I even ate a bowl of pancit…hmm, must be the reason why the ward was filled in a night’s time.

i smell something fishy

black eyed peas - smells like funk

I’ve been wearing the scent of Acqua Di Gio since highschool, I think. I so love its refreshing fragrance. Last week, my Dad offered to buy me a bottle  of perfume. Since I wanted to try something different, I hurriedly surfed the net for what’s new. I remembered trying on a Lacoste perfume which smells really good but that was like a few years ago. So I went to check their website and found out about their new fragrance, that is Lacoste Essential. Being an upper-east-sider-wannabe (a fashion victim actually), I believed that they would always come up with something good. I was so excited to go home this afternoon and try on the new perfume that my Dad sent me only to disappoint myself. The scent was not even close to what i’ve been imagining. It reminds me of the morning smell of the hospital floor after being polished (or was the janitor wearing the same perfume?). A mixture of acetic acid, sodium hypochlorite, and copper in a fancy bottle. But what the hell, It’s 50 bucks. I’m going to use it anyway, so pardon my reach!
