As most people say, joining a fraternity would do nothing good for anyone.. but for me, joining the Zeta Beta Mu Fraternity of the UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery made me a better person and have contributed most in molding me of who i am right now. why? well consider this, zbm is not the kind of fraternity most people would expect.. we are proud to be the Zeal for Brotherhood among Medics..more than brotherhood, we are one big family in this fraternity.. words are not enough to explain the happiness every brod has by being part of it.. as they say, you won’t be able to know unless you become part of it. established by or 19 founders on August 21,1971, Zeta has evolved to be the most exalted and most invulnerable fraternity. Now celebrating its 34th founding anniversary, i must say we have made our mark..

for me, along with my other 8 batchmates (INVICTUS 2004),we have been in this fraternity for more than a year already. And we felt like we were part of this brotherhood for a long time. we’ve been thru the darkest times and mostly through the happier times.. As the youngest batch to be inducted last March 05, we have experienced to be a part of a big family where everyone was molded to become a zetan..I myself am very proud to be a zetan.. I have gained more maturity just by being with the brods.. The never ending parties and the advices i get from the senior brods are really worth it.. In my case, where my parents are away from us, i have found a second family where i can be me and where i can confide my emotions with… i have no regrets joining this fraternity.. and i am very thankful to one of my best friends, kuya marvin dolor, in giving me light to pursue what i have started, that is to become a zetan. He told me that what i entered is a lifetime commitment to the other brods.. and i must say, life became easier for me to handle by being a zetan..and though problems may arise i have my brods with me.. As like what one of our senior brods emphasize, in your stay in med school, there is nothing more exciting and more fun than having your brods.. when you graduate, your classmates and friends may be gone, but your brods will never leave you.. you will always have a reason to go back because of your brods… Wherever you will be, whatever career you pursue, you will always be a zetan.and im really proud of being one!! Hail to thee!!!

I love Zeta Beta Mu Fraternity!!!

feeling at lost

May 3rd, 2005 by brsanedrin

sometime’s, there comes a point when you’re feeling all alone and at lost of what’s happening around you..it seems as if that the whole world is against your opinions and your decisions. what’s worse is that you don’t know what to do.. its like your world began to stop and you’ve become a brain dead person.

Sometime’s when you feel like doing something and you’re really sure you wanna do it then some people will stop you from doing it.. well they say its for the better.. but hell no…

my case?? hmmnn.. it really is very unusual.. way before i entered med school, i can decide on wat i really want to do.. of course some people oppose but still i can get away with it.i must say many things have changed already. before i graduated from the BS pharmacy course, i applied for UST medicine but found out that my name wasnt included in the list who qualified.. so from there i started to make my own plans for the future.. i planned to take the Pharmacist’s licensure examination after graduation and grab the oppurtunity for me to be an intern in the US to earn money.. you might be wondering, an intern having a salary?? yes.. so it was really an oppurtunity for me to earn already if only not the faculty of medicine and surgery of ust posting another list of applicants passing the application for med school.. Finding out my name on it weeks before graduation.. here comes the convincing powers of the people around me.. oh well i said it really is an oppurtunity to be a med student of ust.. in the first place i really wanna become a physician even when i was still a toddler.. used to act like a doctor even before.. But i wasnt that prepared to enter med school at the moment.. its hard to shift plans from my former plan of being a pharmacist intern abroad and now being a med student. but yes, i entered med school.. and i must say that my 1 year stay in med school was really the most challenging part of my life..many things happened.. many things i enjoyed.. many things i regretted..=c  and those things i regretted turned out to be the factors that made my oppurtunity to stay in med school to become a thing that could happen only in my dreams.. in short i was debarred from ust med school beacuse of failing the subjects.. but not all. it just happened that the subjects i flunked were the major subjects making me exceed the allowable number of units to maintain my post in med school..sigh.. but it already happened.. no turning back..

after confiding with myself.. i decided to continue medicine but not in ust since i am already debarred from it.. my next option was ST LUKe’s.. right now, i said i have learned my lesson the hardest way.. and so, when ill enter st luke’s ill make it a point to fix my self and get a head start… my family’s support is still there.. not until i found out that the subjects i passed will not be credited and i need to start from zero again.. meaning back to first year.. back to zero.. when i told this to my parents they decided that i should have to find a work already since they don’t want me to repeat first year.. and that doomed me..

right now.. im at lost.. i wanted to continue med school and they don’t want.. i understand there are financial problems that our family is facing right now.. but all im asking is their support for me.. i can seek for a scholarship program to continue medicine.. but they don’t understand my situation.. what they’rte fearing is that i may not be able to make it.. not able to take it.. not able to admit that ill be repeating my 1st year.. im assuring them no, i can do it.. it would be better for me to start from the scratch again so that my past in ust would be put into memory already..

now im at lost.. but hoping that sooner..someday.. they’ll understand me..
