random thoughts in getting a driver's license

I think i am getting the hang of this. I am beginning to accept that i am a doctor in the US and i am now literally, responsible for the wellness of a person. And that takes me into this - me researching about weight loss. I've got several patients who are morbidly obese, three times or four times my weight, and i really really want to see them lose their weight safely. Problem is, the hospital doesnt have much success on this weight loss programs. Well, lets see what i can do about this. THey are going to lose their weight, I will see to that my patients, my charge, my posse would achieve that. THe other day, one sweet woman was crying because she said it is so hard to lose weight. I can imagine how she felt, especially that she was talking to a doctor who by their standard was anorexic. I told her not to worry, we were in this together, I am going to be with her every step. And i really meant that.

I'm not anorexic by the way.

Today i received a letter that if i don't get a driver's license in this state, then my car insurance would expire. Great. I've been putting off getting a license for the longest time. So i skipped lunch last monday to go to the secretary of state, only that i forgot my passport so i had to go again today, take the exam (what kind of light to use during heavy snow? uhmm working lights?), good thing i passed it though, so now i'll schedule a driving test maybe this friday or saturday. After all that jazz, i went home to my apartment, took out a strawberry oreo cheesecake and opened a starbucks double espresso shot, kicked off my shoes and began to treat myself. Buti na lang libre lahat ng hospital. Yes cheesecakes and starbucks for free.
At dahil kinailangan ko ng local flavor, it's been about two months since I've had a real filipino meal, i proceeded to cook chicken adobo... IT wasn't that good because all i had was chicken and mama sita. MAma sita is okay but i'd rather stick to the fresh ingredients which i didn't have.
Kailangan ko na talaga mag grocery.

I really love driving in this long strip of road behind my apartment. I blast the music, open my sunroof, put on my shades and step on the gas pedal (uhmm safely). My friend, Robert Downey look alike, who also loves cars, took my car out for a drive and told me that among all the cars of the residents, he loved frankster the best. It's a cool car. We cleaned it at his house as my apartment would not have anyone cleaning their cars there ( i think). Now all RD needs to get is a dog and i would be a permanent fixture in his house. RD reminds me a lot of my good friend Doring. I was jogging the other day, and had this ipod on to raymond lauchengco's farewell to you my friend song, and i just ran and ran. There's no point really in thinking about stuff like that. I can't get stuck in a moment.

Oh and you know what, our apartment complex would be having this go kart at the end of july so i just might go and see it. How cool is this? Way above the north pole meter.
