Birthday Wish

written by freudandfashion
Birthday Wish

I’m feeling overwhelmed after a nonstop day at work.  To brighten my mood, I looked at photos of my recent birthday celebration and read my blogpost from last year (here).  In contrast to last year, I feel more comfortable being myself (well, I’m still in the process of discovery, which is life-long, but at least I’m less embarrassed to admit my weaknesses, demonstrate pride in my strengths, and bring out my valley-girl twang at work).  In addition, I wasn’t carded…not even once, even though I still look like the same, questionably-legal-to-drink young girl.  Perhaps I exude more confidence?  Well, I know for sure that I’ve matured, for when my patients call me “sweetie,” “young lady,” and “hun,” I no longer take offense nor do I view myself as inexperienced and incompetent as I felt last year.  Now that I’m no longering pondering ways to look older, I plan to focus more on improving my stress management skills (to reduce development of wrinkles).

I know my last post was awhile ago, but I’m back from travels and life-changing experiences, which I plan to share in future posts!

Organizing Thoughts

Organizing Thoughts

After returning from a child psychiatry conference in LA, I had a busy week adjusting to a new work schedule and became overwhelmingly anxious trying to multitask solving patients’ problems and my growing list of “things to do.”  Last night I realized that if I had a patient with a similar situation, I’d tell them to write an actual list of “things to do” (I tend to to be lazy to write lists and instead take “mental notes” which clearly didn’t work for me last week) and rank them in terms of priority.  I wrote a list this morning and already checked off two items (change my tires, drop off dry cleaning) and up next includes laundry and cleaning my messy apartment.  Lists should also include relaxing, rewarding activities as well (balance is key!), so after cleaning I’m off to a pedicure party and dinner with girlfriends.  I’m looking forward to tackling the upcoming work week already.

Here are some pics from my most recent trip to LA:

Memories in Home Cooking

Memories in Home Cooking

{Strolling with my aunt in Pasadena}

I miss home-cooked meals.  There’s nothing better than coming home from a long, exhausting day of work and being greeted with a table full of your favorite dishes.  Fortunately, during med school I lived next to my fabulous aunt who would call me almost every night and ask what I wanted for dinner.  We recently had brunch at Roscoe’s though as delicious as chicken & waffles can be, I wished I could’ve eaten homemade food instead.  Today, I came home to frozen pizza and leftover spaghetti, but I dreamt of pancit and lumpia (filipino dishes) with every dreaded bite.  I suppose it’s time to expand my repertoire and learn to cook more than eggs and ten variations of spaghetti.
