An interesting post over PinoyBlogero, entitled “Student Bloggers: Juggling Studies and Blogging” has put me into deep thoughts on how I manage to blog and study at the same time.
I am a fourth year medical student, currently on my clerkship and hospital rotations, and if compared to an average student, perhaps I face bigger responsibilities, sacrifice, hardships, and self-punishment or anyway you put it. I tried several attempts to quit blogging but I just couldn’t because:
Firstly, it’s one of my passions. I have always been tagged as an internet addict by people around. I just can’t simply live without the internet, blogging included.

Our Junior Clerkship was over! In a short time (we only had 40 days) of exposure, I’ve learned a lot of things.
1. I learned to appreciate my life more. I should be thankful because I am well-provided with the things I need.
Since we were at a government hospital, I’ve encountered a lot of patients who could not afford to buy medicines or pay for laboratory tests. Oftentimes, they request to go home against medical advice even if they have not completed the treatment for monetary constraints.
2. I learned to extend my patience. Everyday, we get to face demanding, and sometimes know-it-all patients. There was once a case where I could not extract a very good history because the family was demanding a prompt treatment for their patient. They couldn’t understand that the extraction of history is already a part of the management because the appropriate diagnosis will lie primarily to it. We also have encountered patients who questions the management of the doctor. Why did they go to the hospital in the first place?

1 . Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!
2. Learned this from a tourist guide in New Orleans: If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse,
DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you. Chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.) DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

I was supposed to receive my first Google Adsense check worth $110 this 25th of February because I chose the Standard Delivery type, but until now, I have not seen any traces of the check. I regularly visit the postal office, in fact, the postmaster already complained saying that I should wait because it will arrive just like the previous one (she was referring to my Google Adsense PIN).
When I read about publishers losing their Adsense money because someone else cashed it (Jepoy was the latest victim), I was alarmed. I immediately contacted Google informing them about my lost check asking for a possible re-issuance of the check. Gladly, I received their response within minutes. They asked for the Payment number and the amount sent (these can be found on your Payment History page). It was a relief when they told me that I can expect for re-issuance. Yay! Heeding the advice of Yuga, I chose the Secured Delivery method so similar things won’t happen.

Valentine’s day is coming and you are sure thinking of the best way to score a date with your girl. My piece of advice, do not ever use these rejected romantic lines. 
I thought that I could love no other
Until, that is, I met your brother…
Roses are red, violets are blue,
Sugar is sweet, and so are you.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead,
The sugar bowl’s empty and so is your head…
Of loving beauty you float with grace
If only you could hide your face…

Finance jobs are one of the most sought-after jobs because they offer thousands of opportunities. Searching the internet alone could give you thousands of websites which will help you find your financial career. However, before you get that job, you must win your job interview.
Here are some few tips that could gain you points from your interviewer, and probably will make an impression that you are fit for the job:
1. Before going to a job interview, practice and develop anticipation. Consider the things that might be asked to you during the interview, and give the possible answers for them.
2. Know your self. Interviewers always ask to tell them more about yourself. Be concise with your self-description and stay straight to the point. Do not bore your interviewer by relaying your life story. Important reminder: DO NOT brag about yourself; just simply tell a story about your self.
