“Having Faith”



I have a big decision to make. There’s so much going in my head that I can’t seem to come up with a convincing rationale of whatever choice I will come up with. I have listened to a lot of inputs and have made my own analysis as well, but I still can’t come up with a good resolution. What’s there to do? NONE. Just leave it all to God who knows what’s best.

I’m just so impressed with Him up there. Life for me has been tough over the last couple of months. But I just want to take a moment here, in the midst of all the buzzing to profess God’s amazing faithfulness.

Too often times what happens is that we do ask for divine help; sometimes it comes, other times it doesn’t. For me, I try my best to look at every hardship or issue as an opportunity for God to work to me. However in the midst of all my difficulties and struggles, there have been hope and prayers answered, but more importantly, and what really strikes me the most, is God’s faithfulness to an unworthy and somewhat so-so holy guy. I mean at one end it’s wonderful to see your prayers being answered, but if you look back and just count the blessings that has been poured out to you, aren’t you so glad that there is Someone who is still faithful to you , even though you’re not? The very fact that He still chooses to be faithful is a thought that just baffles me and at the same time inspires me and brings me to my knees. Paul writes in Timothy in 2 Timothy 2 :13 that..“If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself”

What this means in essence is that God, by very nature is faithful. It’s just who he is! Now, I go on with my life, not worrying what decision to make. I will just wait on how He will make all things for my good, according to His purpose. That’s the beauty of having faith!

Abdominal Epilepsy?

The other day, I encountered an uncommon medical diagnosis, abdominal epilepsy. Maybe I was absent when this was taught in med school or maybe it was mentioned but it just didn't register in my memory bank. Anyway, for those colleagues who haven't heard of this as well, here's what I found out about it, so that next time you are faced with a weird abdominal pain, you will think of abdominal epilepsy as a differential. There are many medical causes of abdominal pain; abdominal epilepsy is one of the rare causes. From a medical perspective, the term epilepsy refers not to a single disease, but to a group of symptoms with numerous causes. The common factor in all forms of epilepsy is an excessive electrical excitability of the brain. The increased excitation is called a seizure and may manifest as a partial or total loss of consciousness and muscle spasms or other involuntary movements. Many conditions can produce epilepsy. For example, a genetic predisposition is...

"Ganacity"

If there's one word that I will never forget from my AGSB experience, it's "ganacity"! A word frequently mentioned by our FinMan professor. What does it mean? It's a combination of the tagalog word "gana" (appetite, zest) and the english suffix "city" which converts an adjective word into a noun. 'Ganacity' therefore refers to one's state of desire or interest in something. I am sharing this because I feel that my 'ganacity' for what I am doing now is spiralling down, and it is so difficult to reverse it back up or just to keep it at a maintained level. It is becoming a struggle on a day to day basis. I am hoping that night and day will alternate fast so that this battle will end soon.

Growths and Tumors of the Mouth

A colleague in the practice of dental medicine referred to me a 40-year old female with a large pinkish, cauliflower-like mass on her lower right buccal gingival. It apparently started 2 months prior to the consult as a small pinkish pedunculated mass, nontender, that was often irritated during teeth brushing. She wanted it removed. Without biopsy, the characteristic of the mass is more consistent with squamous papilloma. I scheduled her for excision biopsy under local anesthesia. More and more people are experiencing some ‘growths’ in their oral cavity. I think this is mainly related to the lifestyle we have adapted these years. Smoking, eating food with irritants or preservatives etc. are the usual culprits. For information, these are the more common growths and tumors that we usually see in the oral cavity. Please be guided and consult your dentists if you notice something similar in your mouth. Abscess This is a soft, pus containing swelling. Th...
