Cave

I’m supposed to be writing a pathology reviewer right now, but there’s a heavy weight in my chest that for some reason, I’m having trouble lifting. A few days ago, I found out that a friend of mine from high school committed suicide at 22-years-old. Though we have not been in touch for quite sometimes and our correspondences have been far and few in between, we spoke briefly not too long ago and…

The World at My Fingertips

The World at My Fingertips

And where does that leave the rest of me? Sitting in a desk chair lit by a fluorescent lamp (or two), poring over glaring white paper colored to an abstract level by varying shades of carefully chosen pastel highlighters. That’s where. As I scroll through newsfeed after newsfeed (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), I began to notice that more and more of the posts I scrolled through were…

An Open Letter to My Inspiration

For this #BrainBreak take a look at what it's like to be #medspired :)

If I was braver, I’d undress you with my eyes. But as it stands, I can hardly draw breath around you. My knees bend when you walk by and I fidget in my seat and when you make eye contact to say hello. Every thank you is a window into the world that may-still-be, although I know that you have eyes not for me. Some days, I smile to myself knowing how ridiculous I look, but I can’t help it because…

The Devil on Your Back

The Devil on Your Back

Shake him off. As I sit here, quietly reading (and simultaneously dreading) pharmacology, I’ve realized that in a few short months, the confident stride that I walked into second year with has slowly begun to disappear. In centimeters, barely discernible to the eye, my head has gotten lower, my eyes have sunk further into the ground and my back has curled into a nearly-fetal state all because of…

Chanel No. 5

Take a brain break and read me!

Chanel No. 5 is described as  woody and powdery scent, chosen by Madame Chanel from a smattering of samples to create her signature scent. Since college, I too have been searching for the scent that would define me. Many of my friends wear Vera Wang, others still prefer Balenciaga or Dolce and Gabbana. My male friends like the cool, sultry scent of Calvin Klein or the sex appeal of Montblanc,…

This is our story <3 

This is our story. ❤️ I would not be able to survive my first year of med school without this crazy set of people. Love you, sec A!

In Great Silence

  I often spoke to my cadaver, Crisostomo, in prayer. Anatomy class is every medical student’s first test. You walk into a room that reeks of formalin and faintly of some sort of peppermint concoction and you see rows upon rows of black leather bags. You know what lies within them but you don’t really know until it’s time to begin. The first time I picked up my scalpel, my hands shook. I knew my…

The Things I Would Say

The Things I Would Say...had I the courage or conviction.

To be yours would be the world’s greatest gift and yet it is not rightly the world’s to give as I stare at the messy bed laden with pillows in a cocoon trying so abysmally to occupy the spaces you have yet to fill. Often when I close my eyes, my soul looks for you in the darkness traveling worlds away under the stars to chase a dream of you and me a we against the world rather than just small me.…

The Red Rising Trilogy

The Red Rising Trilogy

This trilogy had me pleasantly surprised. I stumbled upon these titles when doing one of my infamous Google searches for things to read this year and believe that these came to light after I searched for “must read fantasy/scifi” or something similar. I had recently just read The Martianby Andy Weir and had enjoyed it immensely, especially because while it was science fiction and about life on…
