First post: Making ourselves at home!

Personally, if I'm going to read something, I like knowing a little about the person who wrote it. So for you out there who feel the same, there we go.

I answer "a med student" when people ask me who I am. That's true, but fortunately - or unfortunately, I can't really tell up till now-  studying medicine is not my only focus. I confess to being easily distracted from medicine by events happening around me or weird thoughts or impulses that occur to me. I have a troublesome tendency to always try to understand and analyze them. But don't get the wrong idea here, I cherish medicine very much for being on its own a very special way of experiencing life and seeing it from where the majority of people don't get to.

I am completely in love with books! Seriously! It's like an obsession to me! Specially novels from all sorts of cultures and from different times. I consider it a way of browsing through lives that I can never live, may be even living and "feeling" them through their writers.

My wish is to live up to being the person I think I can be, the person I'm working on being. To see the world one day, to check for myself if things are really like I read about them.

I've been blogging on Facebook  for a couple of years and people over there said they liked it, and for reasons unknown to me, I'm moving to here.

Getting what this blog's about? Exactly! Life, books and medicine! They all overlap together, and they all contribute everyday to the person I become the next day.

Feeling at home? Hopefully..
