I’ve been spending a lot of my time to the internet that sometimes my study habits are affected. To compensate for the time loss, I created a website concerning health issues and problems commonly encountered by the Filipinos. This website also aims to provide comprehensive information of these health issues and problems.
As my first post, I tackled on Breast Cancer. Well this is not so common to Asia women but for the past years, it’s incidence had been increasing in Filipino women.
I have also lost an aunt due to breast cancer that’s why it’s the first on the list.

The other day, the hospital beside our college building was shaken by the news of the first suspected meningococcemia in our city. We were actually inside the hospital during that time because we were doing hospital rotations. The patient had only minutes at the hospital before his demise. They got a sample from the patient’s lesions and it showed negative. But still the result may be false-positive because the sample was obtained after the patient’s death. Everyone who had come in contact with the patient had to take antibiotics. I was also getting paranoid because the disease is known to be fatal. I bought Ciprofloxacin and immediately took it. The night of that day, I got more paranoid when I felt feverish with muscle and joint pains! I was thinking I may have also acquire the disease and was praying that it’s just a simple fever. Good thing, I woke up well and alive the next morning. Haha.
One of our school lecturers and a doctor once said that one big problem with medical students is hypochondriasis. Because they know the symptoms of the diseases, they tend to think the worst out of a simple disease. I think she was right. Haha.

I just arrived home from the gym. For a long time now, I have not played badminton because of hectic schedule. The last time I played this game was when I was 2nd year college and it was four years ago. My school activities and the books I have to read do not permit me to do some extracurricular activities. I just realized that I don’t have to kill my ’social’ life for school. I have to take time management seriously from this time on.
I am also back to my karate classes. This takes up a lot of my energy and time so I only attend classes when I had enough time. I stopped 3 years ago, my batchmates already wear black belts while I am still a poor senior green belter.
