Future Writing Directions

Although I'm loathed to put a direction to what I'm going to write, it somehow helps if I have a guide. And I have ideas for essays really; I just haven't put my mind into putting them down in words. So here are some tidbits of what I plan to write (so I actually put them down in words instead of being in a month-long hiatus). And it ties me down to this blog so again I won't be in a month-long hiatus.

1. Exercising and Medical School, is it possible?

2. Health in the Philippine Setting (argh, a bit general and requires so much research and that's partly the reason why I'm loathed to write it but I want to. So if anyone can put some inputs in the comments or email me at torres.ryan550@gmail.com; it may help me.

So far, I'm thinking how the closed economy, centralized and Presidential system of the Philippines is directly responsible how a) patients have to pay out of pocket for the medical expenses, b)all the doctors, general practitioners and specialists are concentrated in Imperial Manila, with exceptions of Cebu and Davao and c) how our Secretary of Health have to beg Congress for their budget because of the separation of powers, Executive and Legislative. Hence, instead of cooperation, the department secretaries have to 1) compete against each other and 2) compete against Congress, remember department secretaries are appointed by the President and the Congress is elected by the people.

See, ambitious essay so inputs are really welcome.)

3. Journey through Medical School So Far (I promise none of that cliched "Oh medical school is so hard". I'll think of an alternative angle. For instance, it can be fun)

4. Unbelief So Far (if I think of any)

5. If I feel anything (Okay, here's my writing process. I actually have to feel something before I write anything actually. So I feel nothing there is nothing to write about). 

Anyway, let's see if I can do all of this in the list. And again, I put it in list form so I have a clear direction and it's sort of a commitment.
