Life of Physical Therapy students?

You have No Idea, Buddy.

Musculoskeletal SEMinar just ended.Yes, it's finally over,  but passing the subject is not yet for certain. Especially that it's been bloody for all of us. Just imagine being assigned to a particular case, given to you randomly, present it in front of the panels; one Rehab doctor and a licensed Physical Therapist (usually), with complete Anatomy, Kinesiology, Pathophysiology, Etiology and the Medical-Surgical Background of that particular condition. Of course the Initial Evaluation, the Plan of care or the PT intervention, they're the most important part of it.

Eye bags-It's part of our uniform, Yes.

 Add up the zits. -Secondary to late-night-ppt-making and desperate completion of IE. It was a great experience tho, I've learned a lot from my group mates, the professors and doctors, and of course from my mistakes. I love being corrected, in that way I would know what I should improve (I just hate inconsiderate, arrogant panels. Man! like ,they've never made mistakes before). Right, I just have to say that.


Day after tomorrow, we'll be out to the clinics and hospitals. It's like our pre-internship. I'm not prepared, not ready yet. I admit it. It was all just, soooo sudden, and fast. All the techniques, Therapeutic exercises, Special tests, MMTs, ROMs, just passed. We're only given a chance to encounter them like, for one week per region. And loads of other topics would add up to it the week after. No time to refresh. It's like, "do-it-yourself" task. I just wish I had time to study, I just don't have. I even sacrifice my hours of sleep. Now I really have to study  and review all them to help me on Tuesday...  TUESDAY??? That's two days from now!!

Just 2 days of review...

 I do not think that's enough, but, I will try my best. I cannot quit now. It will all probably be worth it someday, anyways. I will try not to complain, because honestly, it won't do good. Can't wait to march and receive my diploma. Can't wait to make my parents proud. Can't wait to meet my future patients ♥

So Help me God ! ♥♥♥

The Story of St. Valentine

02- 14- 13

So Today's Valentine's day huh?

When hearts are everywhere and RED is all over the place. Malls are crowded, vacation places and  fancy restaurants are fully booked, and probably motels and hotels are, too. Holding hands while walking, blushing faces, "i love you's" everywhere, and smell of the roses and perfume because dissolved particles or molecules move from a more concentrated area to a less concentrated area, or what we called diffusion. (Nerd alert*)  People are indeed, happy and in love, specially t♥day.

Bet you've once wondered... Why celebrate Valentine's Day? Who is Valentine anyway?
And for sure, you would think that the story behind Valentine's day is a "happy" story. It's actually not.
Curious? Let me tell you about the story behind it...

Valentine is a priest. He lives in Rome during the third century. That time, the place was ruled by an emperor Claudius.

The emperor wanted to build a big army. He wanted every men to join his army. Unfortunately, only few men applied because most of the men don't want fight and it is enough reason for them to not leave their families and loved ones. Emperor Claudius was furious. He thought that If marriages continue, his plan won't be possible. That time on he decided to not allow any more marriages.

Since Valentine's a priest, one of his favorite things to do is to marry couples. And for him, the emperor's idea is just crazy. Even after the emperor passed the law, he continued marrying couples, secretly. Yes. Just him, the bride, and the groom inside a candlelit room.

One day, while he whispers the words of the ceremony, footsteps were heard from the outside. Good thing the couple escaped. But he was caught. He was thrown to jail and the emperor proclaimed that his punishment was death. He tried to stay calm though.

During the imprisonment, people visit him just to throw flowers and notes to his window. Notes, saying that they agree to the priest's decision to continue marrying couples, even if it's against the emperor's will. They wanted him to know that, they too, believe in Love. One of them was the daughter of the jail guard, who's always there to visit and talk to him even for hours.

The day came that he's to die, he left his friend a note saying, "Love from your Valentine"

And from that day on, people continue to spread the love and exchange love messages on Valentine's day. St. Valentine died on February 14 269 A.D - That, until now, people remember.

And hey, for you, Dear Emperor Claudius,
now you know, Love can not be beaten!


Love and Friendship, the ingredients of Valentine's day. ♥

Happy Valentines Day to y♥u!

till next post.

I notice everything.

Well said.

To-do List for Christmas ♥

Heya, Loves!

It's been seven months since I last posted here. As usual, I was busy, focused on school matters, was hella busy of my pretending-to-be-a-nerd student life. So much for school stuff, the reason why I was able to post and talk to you guys is because I finally had time to type and update my blog. It's time to rest my brain cells, it's time for Christmas! woooo :D

Aren't you guys excited? Cause I am. Excited not because of the presents I wish to receive (because to be honest I don't usually receive anything during Christmas- I was  never disappointed tho)  but because four days to go and It's Jesus birthday! :)

I haven't prepared for that special day yet--- haven't wrapped the gifts, no idea what food to prepare for that day (since I was assigned for the dessert). --Seems like I still have many things to prepare for Christmas. You could help me out. Let's start making our To-do List for Christmas in case we forget something ♥

To-do List for Christmas 

#1 Prepare your house for the event, make it a Home. ♥ 

Aside from the colorful and expensive Christmas lights and decorations your family designed for your house, don't forget to add Love and make it a Home ♥

#2 Make a list of the persons you wish to receive your presents.

You don't really have to do it in-order. You should consider that everyone deserves a gift for that very special day. 

Asking of what you can give for a present? Consider the cost and the number of presents you'll be giving.

• For a group of people, you can give the same item for everyone (you can just have variety of colors for the same item). In that way you can save time and money. This would avoid comparison of gifts each member of the group will receive.
• For a special someone, For me (and I think you guys would also agree)  it'd be great to receive something you can really use.  Better think of an item that you think won't be wasted if given. Take note of that person's "favorites". If you're having a hard time knowing what's his/her favorite color or something, better give him/her something sweet. Yes! FOOOOD :) (Something like cakes, candies, chocolates). Nobody's gonna say no to that!! To add up to your cheesiness, you can give your present in a SURPRISE manner. Not only you can make her 'kilig', she would also be able to share that 'sweets' to her loved ones this Christmas. Remember guys, Christmas is the season for sharing! LOL
• For your family, you're the one who knows what would make your loved ones happy.  :)

#3 Make a list of what food to prepare for Noche Buena

 If you don't have your own recipe, you could use Mr. Google's help and search for the recipes that are usually served during Christmas Season. If you believe in Feng Shui, don't forget to add some sticky foods like kakanin, halaya and suman to your table! 

#4 Attend the mass on the actual day, 25th of December. (If possible, complete the 9 days of Misa de Gallo)

It's actually included in the Ten Commandments. The fourth Commandment says, " You shall remember and keep the Sabbath day holy." And that includes Christmas and New Year. (I remember our parish priest said, "Ignore the rest of the Sundays of this Year but never the..."  then he started mentioning important dates when Catholics should attend and hear the mass. It's all about Love, Faith and Jesus, anyways ♥

#5 Make Christmas special. More special. ♥

People always talk about 'sharing' and giving during Christmas. Why not make it something more special? Like forgiving persons that hurt you. Forgetting the past that gave you nothing but headaches (and heartache). Why not do the Reverse Bittering technique? (people out there who knows Ramon Bautista would get this) Out of the failures and not so happy experiences you had, you can make something good out of it. Take even  a minute or two from your busy day and tell this to yourself, "This Christmas I'm good. Next Christmas, I'll be better. ♥ "

I think we've completed the list. Or did I forget something? :)

-'Till next post!♥
