TwEnTy RaNdoM FacTs aBouT JoAnNe…..

November 14th, 2005 by joanne-m-tan-md

I would just like to share some facts about me…

1. Obviously, I love the color Purple and all shades of it- for me this is the most unique color ever. It signifies beauty, strength, power and individuality.

2. I love dancing for the Lord- I believe that dancing for the Lord is my sanctuary. For me, it is the purest form of worship.

3. I am a frustrated singer- I love singing but it doesn’t love me at all! Buti na lang when I sing in praise and worship, I sound perfect in God’s ears; so I really don’t have to be ashamed of anything.

4. I have the best husband a wife could ask for!!! My husband’s name is tyrone. In my eyes, he’s a mirror of God’s most perfect love for me.

5. I have the two most beautiful kids in the world- My son, Isaiah Tye and my daughter, Mary Jo Praise.

6. I’m chubby and cute- that’s how I see myself… :)

7. I dream of going around the Philippines to teach each and every Filipino about Basic Life Support.

8. In my family, I was the one with the loudest voice in the house… every time I would arrive from school, I would announce to the whole household that I’m already home.

9. I’m an Emergency Medicine Physician– dreaming that someday I would be the best in what I do…

10. I love eating sweets- chocolates, ice cream, cake, pastillas…etc.etc.

11. I love watching movies with my hubby- we’re really up-to-date with movies… this is ‘OUR’ time.

12. I love the beach- the quietness of the shore…picture perfect sunset…the beauty of God’s creation

13. I love a beautiful tan- Black is beautiful!!! Skin whitening products is such a waste of time, money and effort.

14. I never had long hair- the longest was shoulder length.

15. For me, starbucks is the best coffee… caramel frappuchino or mocha frappuchino.

16. Cream puffs makes me forget about everything… hehehe

17. Watson and National bookstore were my favorites places– I could spend more than an hour inside these stores.

18. When I was young, I wanted to be the President of the Philippines–I was very ambitious…

19. The Art of Photography was something I wanted to develop… to capture a moment makes a moment a treasured memory.

20. I am a beautiful child of God that knows where her safe place is… in my Father’s loving arms.

Dear GOD

October 12th, 2005 by joanne-m-tan-md

Dear God,

Thank you for givng me my life. Thank you for making everything in my life such a blessing.

I am always so grateful for the wonderful parents you have given me. May they also live in happiness because they deserve it so much. They have raised my sisters & me in the right way. They have guided us to be the best that we could ever be. Whoever i am right now, I believe it is because of their upbringing. Bless them. Keep them. Love them.

Thank you for my two sisters, Pin & Princess. They have been my best buddies. Right now, i miss them so much. Please watch over them for me because even though we are apart I still want them to know that I want to protect them.

Thank you for my husband, the most perfect gift ever. Thank you for my two beautiful babies, Isaiah & Praise. These people mirror how much you love me. They are my most treasured possession. They bring joy to my life. I am ever so thankful that you brought them to me.

My life has been filled with so much blessings from you and I want the whole world to know that You are my God…The God that makes all things possible.

I love you forever…

40 year old virgin?

October 12th, 2005 by joanne-m-tan-md

This movie was hilarious… amazingly funny… but my question is:

Is there such a thing as a 40 year old virgin?

Especially in the male population? I maybe biased.I don’t know, I’m just kinda curious. Nowadays, people even at a young age seem to be so incomplete without "THAT" experience in their lives. So how true is this movie? Someone really has to enlighten me on this subject… Naive? Maybe.

CROSSROADS

October 2nd, 2005 by joanne-m-tan-md

In twelve days, my EM residency days will be over. After which, I stand at the Crossroads. Where to go or what to do…. i really do not know. Many people keep pushing me to go abraod, australia…canada…new zealand…us; but this options seems so hard to do. I love the philippines…i know that there is more to this country than what we all know. I believe that I have much more opputunities here than in any other country. My career can flourish here….but it seems that it is only i who believe in this….

If i stay to work here…where would I specifically go? Having a family makes the decision even harder. There’s an opening in batangas which gives a good salary but it’s too far for me. I want to be near my husband and kids.

Would I apply for a hospital position or a clinic position? would i go on 24hours duty or 12 hours duty? I have so many questions…

think…think…think…

i’ll really have to pray about this first….I need guidance for my career’s future…somehow i want to make a difference… do something extrordinary…
