I love this entry. I went the opposite way, but this:

the life sciences is just not as "fabulous" as the health sciences because the consequence of our work is decades away from yielding any benefits. but that's ok. somebody's gotta do it. and i'm happy that i made the right choice picking grad school over med school.

Naks Chi! I love metab too (haha ang nerd). Go find something for diabetes! Yey!

huy, kelan ka pupunta dito??? :P
