Prior to the COVID19 pandemic, I decided to work on my fitness. If undergrad has Freshman 15, medical school has Medschool 20. I have totally abandoned working out during my first semester of medical school. I was a train-wreck. I was excited, happy, stressed and scared, all at the same time. I was struggling to figure out my rhythm. In finding out what works and what doesn’t. And so I…
Hi friends! It has been a while since I last wrote here, and I hate myself for frequently abandoning this little online abode of mine. Life has definitely turned 360 ever since I stopped working, and started medical school in July of 2019. Big events happened, and I hope that I can find time to thoroughly update you all of what I have been up to. I hope you have…
DISCLAIMER: These are the things I suggest a tourist do when visiting Florence (Firenze) for the first time. Considered by many as the birthplace of Renaissance, Florence is indeed one of the most beautiful place I have ever visited. Every corner, I would recall bits and pieces of things I’ve learned from my World History in High School. Here are my top 5 things to do in Firenze Sunset at…
After our 3 day Parisian experience, we flew to Rome. As a Roman Catholic, it was my dream to attend mass led by our Pope.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed roaming around the city, and I would do everything I can to go back here again, someday (and yes, I did toss a coin at Trevi Fountain). In…
Yes, I had to emphasize “visiting for the first time” because I know my selection is probably not where you want to go if you have been there several times. Without further ado, here is my top 5 places in Paris (in no particular order). The Louvre Museum. I mean, did you even go to Paris if you didn’t go pay respect to Aunt Mona Lisa? A visit to The…
Right after my graveyard shift, Ven picked me up at work and we fulfilled one of my dreams. We flew to Paris. It was a surreal moment. Paris has always been on top of my list to visit, but each time we try to go, the airfare was either too expensive, or if they have cheaper ones, it is during the time/season that it is hard to request time off…
So I gave in, I have always resisted the urge to attend the Coachella Music Festival for several reasons. First, because it’s obviously quite pricey, and second, I really do not know majority of the artists, so it was initially hard for me to justify roughly $1500 for the event, granting I buy my tickets on time, and book accommodation quite early. This year was a little bit different, there…
