Life towards the much-coveted white coat — the only life I know. Our Community Medicine consultant this afternoon has just accurately and so eloquently given the gist of a lifelong frustration I’ve always had: No studies have ever proven that teambuilding activities work in re-establishing positive relationships between you and a colleague with whom you’re passionately, wholeheartedly, extremely repulsed. To borrow his trademark phrase,. Ang tawag do’n, kalokohan. What do they say about the road to hell?

Rules of Engagement for Your 30’s

Rules of Engagement for Your 30’s. Wednesday January 21, 2015. Photo from Global Pillage. I’m turning 29 in a few days and if reexamining my 2014 wasn’t enough, I’m getting around to examining my 20’s as a whole. It’s hard to believe that this crazy, disjointed decade is about to close and apart from figuring out what I wanted to be doing with my life, this whole episode has also been characterized by the friendships and romantic relationships that I created or destroyed. It’s tricky finding what y...

Losses & Gains. Monday May 25, 2015. Photo by Joel Darwin. I don’t know! I haven’t even adjusted to this role yet! My creativity has stalled and it’s due to the fact that I’m still in denial of this new identity I’m shaping into. This is what my old identity is perceiving to be losing:. My “Career”. I was in the process of figuring out how to grow my business, not scale it down! My family of 2. 8221; Hey, but that’s what I’m feeling! I already struggle so much seeing my friends. For all the alone tim...

Tuesday January 6, 2015. Photos by Joel Darwin and Simon Moritz. Now that I’m back I don’t even know where to start. We did 4 cities in 6 weeks and I’m in this space in between elation and depression. I feel like 20 lbs. of potatoes crammed into a 10 lb. bag. I have many things I can’t wait to share but I don’t even know where I can begin. WHAT I MISS ABOUT AMERICA. Small towns. I miss walking with Joel and “claiming” cute houses we liked as ours. Small towns by the water. Cheap greek yogurt, English muf...

Wednesday June 3, 2015. Joel and I have the deepest conversations whenever we drive out for long stretches. We were coming back from Tagaytay yesterday and somehow got to talking about how we were doing with decluttering our social media feeds. 8221; and frankly, we’re trying to wean ourselves off the habit. It’s not productive and it only serves to put us up in high horses. We delved into internet envy instead and our discussion shifted to “Who makes us feel bad in the internet? He picked leather work w...

Bittersweet | Area 8
https://moniquecular.wordpress.com/2015/07/04/bittersweet
Life towards the much-coveted white coat — the only life I know. Posted in Late Night Anecdotes. So I mentioned in passing, while scrolling through my pitiful list of movies, how. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Was an adaptation of my favorite book and that I had two Korean foodie movies I would’ve given him if only I could still retrieve them. He looked at me with raised eyebrows and asked me about literature; he devoured. The Art of War. Eventually we went quiet and he said,. But you know what?

So Here We Are
http://dispatch.nsdesign.ph/2015/03/04/so-here-we-are
So Here We Are. Wednesday March 4, 2015. We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down. We just announced on social media that I’m 12 weeks pregnant (13 weeks tomorrow, actually) but we’ve been telling family and friends since week 6. Maybe some of you were already suspecting something was up in my last entry when I was talking about my trips to the hospital and my one week horror of horrors bout with sickness. I’m still keeping my fingers crossed though. It was pa...
