Happy Birthday, Mama Mary!!! Thank you for all the answered prayers.

I’ve got loads up in my head. As I have expected, life will be excruciatingly more complicated once I get my license. I have applied for residency training in the Department of Medicine of the UST Hospital. If I got the numbers right, each one of us applicants have, mathematically speaking, ~40% chance of bagging one of ten slots available for the 1st year of training. All else considered, I think it is even less (for me at least). Especially when the competition includes a handful of upper class doctors and a board topnotcher.

“Almost despair prey upon my soul…”

I want that slot. And I need it badly. Please let me be qualified.

To make matters more complicated, the department moved the interview to a latter date – which is this coming week – which totally conflicts with my scheduled Medical Mission here in my barangay (the very first one). The only thing I pray for today is that I won’t be scheduled for interview on Wednesday, Sept 12, the day of the mission. I thought of rescheduling the mission to Sept 14, but then again, pre-residency will start on that day. I am TOTALLY lost.

I have decided to channel all my frustrations to creative energy and came up with this.

For a week now I have come up with a couple of designs for the Starbucks Create-Your-Own-Tumbler I am planning to give. This one has definitely won my thumbs up. I will be designing more in the next days to come if the schedule permits. I love you, Adobe! (The lady in the design is my Emem. I love you! )
