Hahahaha! I just remembered one of my all time favorite jokes.

This blog entry was supposed to be a review of Batman The Dark Knight (watched it last night at Mall of Asia) but the supreme awesomeness of that movie left me speechless. All I can really say about that movie is: WATCH IT! WATCH IT!

Anyway, when I got home last night after the movie (long drives are longer if you're alone in a car) I got into an argument with my mother and she got really mad over the foul language I used. Yes, the argument was that bad! As I lay in bed, upset and angry, I inexplicably remembered this joke.

A father noticed that his three young sons were beginning to use foul language even in the house while he and his wife were there. One day, he decided to do something about it.

He was seated with two of his sons at breakfast that day and one of the little brats said to him, "Dad, could you pass the @#$%^ cornflakes?" He flew into a rage and smacked the little shit in the face and grounded him for a week. As he was doing this, the third son entered the room and said, "Dad, can I have some @#$%^ cornflakes?" At this, Dad again flew into a rage and smacked the little foul mouth and also sent him to his room, grounded.
Dad then noticed the second son who was watching him, wide-eyed. "What do you want?" he asked.

The little boy then answered, "I dunno but I sure as hell don't want any of those @#$%^ cornflakes."

Hehehehehe. Okay, it's funnier if you hear it.

And yeah, my mom and I patched thin gs up the next morning. So no huhu.

This is the last time I stay home on a Saturday night.

I stayed home tonight even though it was a pretty nice Saturday evening. My friends were all busy and one is actually in Marawi City arranging stuff for his wedding. So I ended up just lying on the sofa and watching Epic Movie on Star Movies.

Oh my God.

Two hours of my life gone forever, used up watching a pointless, unfunny movie. Nooooooo!!!

I could have sworn my IQ fell a few points just watching the damn thing. However, I think that's okay since I still have a lot of it to spare. Hehehehe. Ooooh.. My YQ (yabang quotient) hasn't been affected. Excellent.

No, I'm not drunk.








3 reasons why I didn't change the channel.

1. I was too lazy to get up and change the channel.
2. The remote is missing too.
3. other people were watching.

Colonoscopies and laminectomies - hour 9 of the 24 hour duty that sucks

Actually, just one of both, but the plural forms sounded better as a title.

I had just finished informing the anesthesiologist and internist (for clearance) for a patient who was admitted a few hours ago. She's going to undergo a laminectomy tomorrow at 7:30 AM. I also did the IV insertion thing for her and did the history and PE for the chart (which nobody actually reads.) Also, a patient who's undergoing work-up* for chronic diarrhea is getting a colonoscopy tomorrow at another hospital. I called up a gastrointestinal specialist-guy at another hospital to fix it up for tomorrow. Then I informed the attending MD that the procedure she wanted had been arranged. I also had to explain to the patient himself about what was going to happen to him tomorrow. (Sir, you're going to get butt-f*cked tomorrow, and guess what, you're paying for it! Mwahahahaha!)

So now, I'm free! No more pesky procedures to do or patients to explain stuff to. Yay.










Damn, I'm bored.

This moonlight thing is beginning to grow lame

This blog entry is being assembled as I'm doing my 24-hour duty at a small private hospital here in QC. Even though I'm getting a little (minuscule) hospital experience here, it's starting to get old for me. Aside from the nurses, and the occasional consultant MDs who do rounds on their patients, it's me all the way with no one to talk to and the loneliness is killing me. I never thought I'd be saying this, but being benign* sucks. However, I'm guessing I'd feel sucky too if it were toxic** and I was still alone. The obvious conclusion here, dear friends, is that I hate doing single duty. I'm not used to this after spending the majority of my hospital duties with my clerk and intern blockmates in good old PGH. Even in rotations where there was only me as the duty intern, I knew I could always just skip over to the next ward and chat with another intern. Here? Wala. As in.

The consuelo de bobo in my duties here in the hospital:

1. DSL internet - Yay! I can post blog entries, and whine about my crappy duty and life.
2. Airconditioned quarters. - Excuse me, it's called a "callroom", not "quarters". (I'm still using PGH terms, God help me.)
3. Banyo - enough said.
4. Free lunch and dinner - Small servings, pero puwede na.

Well, that's it's for now, the duty nurse just called and just asked a question I don't know the answer too. Research muna ako.

Glossary:
* benign - walang ginagawa, konti patients, o walang kailangan gawin para sa patients. Suwerte ka, yahoo!
** toxic - madami trabaho, madami patients, paperworks, procedures. Tae ka, malas mo. Lol.

I'm currently hooked on...

God help me, but to my shame, I'm currently hooked on that stupid Brian Gorrell blog. It's the blog of an Aussie gay fag guy and about how he was scammed out of his money by his a-hole socialite boyfriend. It must be the skewering of a piece of shit socialite that's making me come back to it every day. Just like the time I got hooked on the Malu Fernandez scandal (what a pig!), the entertainment I get from reading these crappy socialites getting dumped on by their fellow Pinoys is simply amazing.

Other things I'm hooked on:
1. Mobile Suit Gundam 00 - too bad the 1st season is over and the next season is still in October
2. Battlestar Galactica Season 4 - the best show on TV!


Things I should start:

1. studying for the USMLE.
2. Catch up on House MD and CSI (CSI Las Vegas. I'd rather die than watch CSI Miami)
3. Watch that Heroes show everybody is telling me to watch.
4. Watch that Lost show everybody is telling me to watch
5. Watch that Grey's Anatomy show everybody.. NOOOOO! NEVER!!!
6. Be kind to my patients.

Well, waddya know, I'm still blogging.

I thought I was done with this blog but I guess not. Here I am.

New Look, Old Sh*t.

Hope you guys like the new look. I'm trying to make the blog less gloomy so I decided to get rid of the black background. Also, I've decided to cut back on the heavy-idealist crap I've been putting out lately. I've actually thought that maybe I should put up a new blog for my rants on certain things, and I even named the blog already, The Angry Fat Guy. Meanwhile, the bilog blog is going back to what it's not-famous for. The craptastic life of the Poorest Conyo.

Heroes (no, not the TV series, you dolts!)

One of the things that really pisses me off about Filipinos is the tired old, cynical attitude of "parepareho lang kayo." I often hear this during elections when people say they weren't going to vote because these politicians are all the same: corrupt and out to screw us in the butt. I often just shut up and tell myself that these people are idiots because the act of not voting is actually equivalent to pulling down their own pants and bending over to get the ass f*cking from the corrupt politicians. Sadly, this attitude also shows how lazy a person is. He is too lazy to learn about the issues that could affect his life, preferring instead to live in a cocoon and then act surprised when the shit hits the fan. I don't see how being informed could be so hard. TV has the news, the radio has it, hell, even these things called newspapers have it. (In fact, it's just about all they carry! Amazing!)

Lately, I've been hearing shit like this again when people talk about the NBN-ZTE scandal witness Jun Lozada. Some wannabe pundits (like me, but with more idiocy in their opinions) don't want to label him as a hero. They point to his (admitted) previous corruption when he was head of a government agency. I don't know if they really have an opinion or if they really just want to make "pabida" by stating a contrary one, but they could not have been more wrong.

People have this distorted view about heroes, that they should be saints and be absolutely clean and pure in everything. We forget or are ignorant of the fact that even saints were sinners before they were called into God's service. (I read that St. Francis of Assisi was a rich party-loving douchebag before he became what he is.) It is not what people do in the past that makes them heroes, it is what they do when they are faced with difficult moral decisions that will affect the lives of their fellows. Mr. Lozada, even against all the power this government has arrayed against him, found the courage to speak up about what he knew. He had nothing to gain (except our admiration) and everything to lose. If that isn't the definition of a hero, then you're all dumbasses.

Philippines - Epic fail. (the bilog blog commentary on the ZTE scandal)

from www.urbandictionary.com

FAIL:
1. "Another word for "suck", most probably derived from the world of internet gaming."
2. "The Glorious lack of success"

EPIC FAIL:
1. "terrible failure"
2. "failing really bad"

Right now, the term "fail" seems to best describe the country. This scandal is a crime against us all and if people don't react with outrage and demand justice, then the fail level drops down further to "epic" and it would probably be better if the earth opened up and swallowed us all.
