ON MY OWN
mood: 
bored
boredmusic: Bipolar, Up Dharma Down
TODA is playing in the Bora tourney.
Mutch is in Sagada, doing relationship-like things.
Parents and bro are off to Mindoro to formally ask for Rose's hand in marriage.
Not talking to my cousin. Or my cousin not talking to me. Whatever.
Left to my devices at lunch, I made a brown rice-dulong in olive oil-cashew bowl and am eating it in my room. It's not as weird as is sounds; it's actually pretty delish.
I'm staring out the window and it's a beautiful sunny day. I wish I didn't have duty tomorrow/spend my travel money on fixing my new place. What I would give to be in Bora :(

Speaking of the new place, I'm almost done sprucing it up. All I need is a new rug to hide the ugly areas on the wooden floor. Or maybe repaint/put a sticker border on the ceiling to cover the paint patches we made with the roller when we were doing the walls. (I am definitely not a painter and should stick to my day job, hehe) The curtains I bought were too long for the windows, so I decided to cut them in half and hem the edges to make another curtain. The left half of my curtains are now two inches shorter than the right. Should I now abandon the idea of sewing my own clothes?
Technically, I have roommates but the room is more of a halfway house for them than a real place to live. So far I'm ok on my own. I've been slowly bringing my clothes and shoes in. Soon my clutter will be spread over three houses. Hopefully, that's enough to make all my rooms neat :P

Three months into residency and my two other co-first year residents are now officially not talking.
One got tired of being mercilessly teased, and in her words "becoming an emotional punching bag" for the other's "endless" rants and (very) volatile moods. I don't want to assume her shifting moods are because of her depression, but her outbursts come often and are over the most trivial matters. I really hope she's taking her meds.
Should I abandon all hope of all of us getting along? With our diverse personalities, I don't know if we're on the path to being friends...
Atleast everything's laid out on the table from the very start. I don't know which is worse, starting off as friends and then deteriorating into strangers or starting off as strangers working professionally together and ending there.
I think in residency, gaining friends, while easy to come by, is hard to keep anyway. So the ones that get to stay til the end, sort of icing on the cake :-)
---> also bored (hehe)
You're right: it's a bonus if you get to find/keep friends at work. After working for a few years, I think I've gotten pretty good at knowing who are the people I just work with and who my real friends are. Much the same way one should also be able to distinguish between people you hang out with and real friends :P
