"You know, I never answered your question earlier about whether you and I will always be doctors: you will. You have this amazing ability to find joy in everything you do. Whether it's an operation you've done a hundred times, or even teaching. But as for me, I know you think it was a big victory figuring out what was wrong with Robyn, but those moments are kind of like eating a piece of chocolate. I enjoy the satisfaction for about ten seconds, and then it's gone. See, the thing that sticks with me, is the look of anguish on a patients face when I give them crappy news. I hold on to that forever. You're a surgeon: you occasionally get to fix people, but I figure out whats wrong with someone and then most the time I can't do anything about it; I just wish them luck dealing with it, or try to keep them alive for a while longer. So, you wanna know if I'll always be a doctor? I'd have to say, I don't know. I'm a doctor now, I will be tomorrow, but I can tell you that, if I'm ever lucky enough to get married, to have some kids, to maybe not need the money, I think I'd walk out of here and never look back." -- Elliot Reid (to Chris Turk)

Spontaneous Trip to Davao

Woke up one morning finding a text message from Poma, confirming if indeed 21 Aug was declared as a holiday. I answered in the affirmative. In response, he asked if I’ve ever been to Davao. I said ‘no’. Before the day ended, plans were ready na. In less than 2 weeks, we were off to Davao!

It was my first time to go to Mindanao, and Davao was not the Mindanao that I imagined. Had so much fun in Pearl Farm! I was amazed that it wasn’t too packed considering na holiday ha. And clap clap to both of us for deciding to lounge sa Malipano Island (just across) than staying the entire time sa resort. We had the island to ourselves. Az in.

At any rate, did not achieve that golden tan. Kerri lang because I can’t be too negra. May Guimaras pa for the following week divs.

After Pearl Farm, we spent time with Poma’s family visiting animals (yes, animals, eeeek!). We went to Crocodile Park and Philippine Eagle Sanctuary. Take note, I am so not a fan of animals. But of course, I had to control my screaming extravagannnzzza! Kakahiya din with Poma’s nieces if I don’t join sa pic-taking with animals. Talo pa ako ng mga bata! Well, it was very much of a challenge, and hey, I survived!! Haha.

One of the best things in Davao is probably food. As in. We’ve had loads and loads of tuna sashimi, kilawin and pomelo salad. Love love love! We also tried the durian coffee (with durian bits). Interesting, but I can’t say I enjoyed. Not a fruit fan…especially not of durian. Haha.

Enjoyed Davao! Much love to Tita Ning, Ate Istin, Kuya Eric, Cassie and Marie for making sure we had a fun trip!

xcess: I just really find it weird that we were there during the Kadayawan Festival, but parang hindi ko naexperience this Festival.

Been sick and restless these past few days. Losing focus due to lack of travel plans for the month of September.


I need to get out of Manila soon. Eeeeeek.


Meanwhile, will do something about blog backlog (aka Davao and Guimaras back to back getaway).




I so can't wait for October.

Tamporurout!

I know it's not that obvious... but truth is I'm a very matampuhin person. Anyways, what's my point? My pagtatampo (borne out of jealousy) gave birth to a very touching series of acts from my Momsy. Super touched!!


One morning, when i couldn't take it anymore, i texted her saying that I got so hurt by the stuff that i discovered. She never stopped sending me messages, explaining her side and asking me not to be tampo anymore. The naughty naughty matampuhin gelay that i am just gave out masungit replies.


Aba, after less than a week...i was surprised to find out that she actually composed an entry about me in her blog, hoping that this will pacify me (hahaha!). It was sort of like a published letter of apology. Eeeeek. kaloka. Click on the link to view momsy's entry.



That would have been enough, really!! But momsy was unstoppable. She had another surprise for me. One aternoon, our office receptionist told me that a package came in for me via LBC that morning. Momsy just really had to seal her panunuyo series with a funky funky gift! Loves it momsy!!!

YOU ARE OH SO FORGIVEN, MOMSY!!
Thanks a bunch, and love you to bits! :)

Love, Matutrina1

I need a new wedding song!

Nope, not getting married soon. It's just that ever since 'forever' came out, i already decided na yan na ang wedding song but of course mabagal version. As in. I even asked Maj to help me get the choir na gusto ko for the wedding. eeeeek. Well, yan ang supposed to be wedding song until my sister showed this vid to me.





hay. hay. now i need to find a new wedding song. and a prospective groom.
