I am Bernadette.
Badz to people I call friends.
INSANELY NOCTURNAL.
Which may be due to my being a coffee addict.
Yup. Two mug-fuls are my daily dose of this caffeine drug, nothing less.
18 years consumed. An adult, but not quite yet.
A 3rd year BS Physical Therapy student at the University of Santo Tomas.
BIBLIOPHILE. Book geek. Bookworm. Whatever, I'm a sucker for books.
Quite into foreign indie films.
I make book and movie reviews 'cause I like to.
The links can be found below if you just scroll down.
I don't really follow back, unless I find the blog interesting.
Living, fighting, being strong.
But still, I'm just another human being.
My strings are finally cut.

Random Fact:
I always keep this list of books-to-buy. It is kept in my wallet so that every time I go out, I have it with me. This particular one is from last year. I have bought more than half of the books listed in it. I take it out whenever I enter any bookstore so I can hunt for the said books. If my quest fails, I hand it over to the person-in-charge so they can check it on their catalog. When I found a book, I always have a highlighter ready to cross out the title from the list. My mom said it would be easier if I just put the list on my phone, but I insist that this one is better. I’m hoping to find and but the remaining books this year, maybe around the school year since I am broke right now.
And again, sorry for the crappy photo quality. As I’ve said the camera’s with my sister.

Now, who says Physical Therapists are just massuers?

See this book? This is one of our many books for PT. It’s three inches thick and you know what else? We need to study this whole book for our final exams. THE WHOLE BOOK. Not just a few chapters but the entire book. There a total of 276 special tests for patient assessment that are included in the book. And we have to memorize them all by heart for the written and practical exams. And did I metion, this is for just one subject. I am not kidding.

So you see, branding us as people who just do massages is quite insulting. We study so hard that we barely have time to sleep. We have Anatomy, Physiology, Kinesiology, Neuroanatomy and several other subjects that are taught in medicine, and yet we are considered as massuers. Physical therapists are not massage therapists. There’s a huge difference between those two. So before you talk about us as people who just poke and massage other people’s body, please get your facts right. We don’t go through such hardships in studying just so you can degrade us like that. Again, it’s very insulting and belittling.

Some say I live a pretentious life, hiding in pages and pages of countless books. They just don’t understand that these alternate worlds are actually the ones keeping me sane and alive.

"It felt good to be surrounded by books, by all this solid knowledge, by these objects that could be ripped page by page but couldn’t be torn if the pages all held together."

RF: I get attracted to boys who read books.

Magazines don’t count, they are not books. And a great PLUS if he’s into Harry Potter. I don’t know a lot of guys who reads HP.
