Fake Friends

Like roses the variety of colors represent

The darkness of hearts never get burnt

Overwhelming rags of ashes paid the price

Hundreds of torn pages shadow the skies.

Fallen masks no longer shatter

In the mock of abyss there lies the rust

Pondering why a venomous snake flatter

Oh, my mind says don’t listen nor trust.

The grip of pain from all the tragedy

Learn that kindness also get moldy

When betrayal aches to rear its head

Good heart, never delay and cut the thread.

A Medstudent’s Reality

---

My body’s bestfriend is milk

See through my shower hooks, feel my exposed skin like silk;

The summery heat roasted my face like cocoa

Flowery smell of fabric conditioner got me woke! Ah!

In deep search of a vegetarian’s pizza, what a risk!

Earphones in, volume up, play tetris

Staring at my crush’s back like some movie

Sinking back in the chair pillow, eyelids feel heavy

One thing I can’t live without is hairbrush

My facial tissue rubbing my adrenaline rush

Dry shampoo and daydreaming

Ink for pen and words that ring

Junk foods triggering doctor’s disgust

Highlighters for written affirmations to trust

I’m a medstudent, fruits are a must!

So I created my first List Poem ever. Haha! It was really difficult for me so it wasn’t relly as smooth as it should be to read. I’ve almost finished writing this during my Family Medicine and I’m guilty I didn’t pay much attention to my class just to give effort to this. Still, appreciated it because I finished it.

• What is a “list poem”?

List Poem is another kind of poem wherein you write about anything that includes a list of things (e.g. shopping list, to-do list, or favorite items). It usually has a list in the middle and a few lines at the end. It also often rhyme but it depends mostly on the author if he/she will make it rhyme or not. Either way, it usually is funny.

• Why did you choose List Poem?

Mainly because I have those things as my top priorities to buy for my reviewing and whatnots. I also liked it rhymed so that was my greatest struggle because I’m starting to have my time be eaten with reviewing scheds. I managed my time wisely.

• Is it included in your Poetry Bucketlist?

Yes. Also since the title was the last thing I can’t think of, I chose to describe medical students’ daily routine and a bit of studying habits. Another box to tick off.

Weekly Gratitude 1

“What you dread the most may turn out to be one of the unexpected turns of your life”

My start in my second semester was really a bang! I didn’t expect it to turn this calm and happy with a ring of surprise! Ever since the start of this semester, I endured crawled my way to school because I AM SO CRAZY HOOKED UP with the holidays that gone by! And that phrase (above) was told to me as a motivational text message from a friend-turned- confidant of mine.

So, I was shocked that I enjoyed the first week! There were some minor setbacks but law of attraction superbly worked with me! Every morning, I would think of positive thoughts and *gasped* I am fully manifesting it throughout the day! Wow!

I’ve also started to work on my meditation though I’m still far from the milestone atleast I’ve taken one step.

I also received a lot of gifts. I felt somehow guilty because: first, I didn’t even send back gifts to them; second, I was not in the mood to buy gifts way back later days of 2017 dont ask it was my mood of the year 2017; and lastly, I wasn’t expecting gifts from classmates because I learned from my previous Christmas last year when I gave a lot (seriously, a lot!) and no one even gave back so trauma hit me back. But this year’s welcome was different. I’m glad it was different. The gifts I received were:

• A customized pen with DRA. (my surname) written along the shaft of the pen! It was so beautiful and I gave my dormmate and a great older sister in faith (who’s also a Medstudent and a classmate) an A grade for effort!
• Chocolate bar from a friend-slashed-sister-in-faith which I really loved and ate after I headed home
• Free spa treatment from my doppelganger friend who’s always been with me literally everywhere! I loved the whole body massage!
• An orange & white polka dots pouch with Kitkat 🍫 inside the pouch from my group leader in fellowship (yes, we have a group composed of Christians and non-Christians working for fellowship with Christ) Oh! There was also a Bible verse inside!
• A dog plush from Mini-so and “A Girl on the Train” book from my classmate who got my name in our Christmas gift-giving exchange activity. I am jumping out of joy for these gifts because she followed and bought what was in the wishlist!

So, these were my highlights of my week. I’m extremely grateful beyond grateful because I’m receiving so much it overflows. I get to write too. I dreamt of coming back to joining the newspaper organization in our medical school but a lot of people adviced me not to, ‘tleast not this year. I’m downhearted but still blessed because I get to write and express in this platform! Still grateful.

Thanks for reading! God bless you all.

This acrostic poetry I created is for a friend I have not seen for months now! We communicated this past few days and I was reminded by her about the forgotten dedication poem for her so here comes, I wish she could read this. This is for her.

Z eny, a long-time friend with a beautiful soul

E njoying my dark and sun-bright days with her

N ever a dull moment, wave at her charming smile

A lways a lover of peace; her aura best soothes

I n everything there she is, I respect her passion

D ancing with life has never been easy for her

A midst trials, I’m glad she prays and looks up!

Carved Delusion

Tanka of the day:

Cords of Consciousness

Calling someone in my mind –

“How to end my life?”

Reinvented memories

Muted madness; mask my breath.

☆☆☆☆

On January 15th will be the resume of my classes on our 2nd term in medical school. I’m quite reluctant to prepare and go to school yet. *cries in silence* I have loved staying here in my own house living with my brother, 2 cute and very lively dogs and also my squishy-but-not-so-friendly Egyptian Mao cat! Hehe. But I’ve read somewhere on Pinterest that in order to have your life organized and well-lived, you have to EAT THE FROG! SCARY SH*T right? Haha. But it only means facing the most difficult part of the day. For me the most difficult part is going to school as holiday hangover still hanging on my shoulder. So please send me good vibes and motivational messages please. I’m desperate. Haha!

Haiku Prompt: from an Asian girl

It was a habit of mine to go to rooftop and refresh my mind. I often would love to think and reflect about my day. Staring at the stars really calm me alot; sometimes, I’d get my creative juices from the vast open space I can see! I’d like to think that beyond those stars are carved the beautiful souls who were also looking at them with admiration at night. 

Glowing sunflowers 

Sun beaming, clothes are half-baked

Welcome back, summer! 

My theme for this one is summer 🌞🌤 because during months of January and February that we got to experience the pre-summery vibes chilling air and sunny bouts of pleasure.
