Week 36: Exploring Manila

Done with Internal Medicine rotation. Spent my Saturday morning doing the Basic Life Support exam, which I passed. Which was a shock because I came unprepared. We celebrated the birthday of Glaiza de Guzman, one of my favorite classmates in 2014 over lunch. It amazes me how Ate Cristy, her older sister, manages to organize these last minute meet-ups.

The rest of the afternoon I spent at the Agape NCR Familyhood event—funny name for a gathering, don't you think? I was blessed seeing Christian medical students from all over NCR. I took most of the photos from the Le Mirage Condominium (along Mabini Street, near its intersection with Quirino Street). It was a different sort of Manila—there were trees (the Manila Zoo was nearby), and we heard crickets at night.

This Sunday, Pastor Doug Nichols of Action International spoke on the Lord's Prayer. What a heart he has for the Lord.

I hope you've had a great weekend. Tomorrow, vacation Community Medicine begins.
