Wednesday - January 31, 2007
Hello and thank you for stopping by my website.
I have been keeping a daily blog of my life in medical school.
Monday - January 22, 2007
Can you believe that one whole year and 10 days have passed by since my last entry?
So much to tell. So many experiences to share. So little time it seems.
I am reviving this website, folks.
Yes, it is time to get back on the writing track. To clear out the mental cobwebs and let the words flow forth.
As I mentioned...I have lots to say.
I figure that this website will take on a new direction - not to mention a brand new look very soon.
For the time being, it will serve as my home base of blogging.
In other words, it'll be my "rant" space.
My catharsis.
A soul cleanse.
I'll keep it as clean as I can...no promises, though.
Some topics of note:
Medical school
Body transformation Martial arts Music Love Yes, love.
There's a lot of love in the world. I know it's hard to fathom.
Allow me to spread some stories of it.
No, not the syrup-like, fantasy stuff.
The real stuff. You'll have to wait and read...
For the time being - I'll share my experiences as a second year medical student at St. George's University School of Medicine. What an adventure thus far!
Case in point: I witnessed two live births today during my Obs/Gyn rotation.
TWO.
In one day.
Amazing...Breath-taking..Scary.
All at the same time. Freakin' awesome!
I'll also write about my body. I have a love-love relationship with my body. I love my muscles that I know are slumbering beneath several mounds of recently acquired adipose tissue (okay, so it's not really all that recent...I've put on the pounds over a period of months to years). And I love to eat - EVERYTHING. It's a love-love irony.
Paradoxical I say.
Stay tuned as I wrestle with this dilemma.
How to transform myself into the body I know I have when the mind and spirit want pizza and burgers on a daily basis.
I miss the martial arts. A few times last semester I needed a good sparring session.
A couple of people in my class really ticked me off and their egomaniacal selves made me want to "snap-nap-or tap them out." That's mixed martial arts speak for submission holds that can break bones or blood-choke them to unconscious oblivion. For more about this go see: http://www.ufc.tv. It'll learn ya' good.
Oh, that brings me to music. Those two aforementioned "legends-in-their-own-little-minds"
were involved in a musical group with me. Oh, that's a wonderful story to tell.
Heck, I ought to write a book about it. Should be fun. Of course, I'll change the names because their craniums would probably explode from the mentions.
Okay, the reality is about the sue-happy society we're in. I won't mention them because they'd likely feel obliged to sue me for using their names. No worries. I'll use different names like "Princess Ready" or "Kiss D. Ego" to protect the egotistical - they'll know
who they are.
The truth hurts.
Life is amazing though.
One big gift of a thing. It's like I get to unwrap my gift every morning and then at night I see what I've done with it.
Only to wake up at see it wrapped again.
I only ask myself: is the gift bigger? We reap what we sow...

I just joined MySpace.com and set up my profile.
Tuesday - January 10, 2006 Here are those long-awaited updates! First of all, I am in medical school! I MADE IT!!! WOO-HOO!!! After another long, arduous, and challenging application process, I actually got accepted to several medical schools in the Caribbean. I chose to attend St. George's University School of Medicine in Grenada based on its reputation and rigorous standards in preparing their students to become outstanding doctors.
I have a new Medical School blog too. Please check it out and follow along my medical school journey!
This website will continue to undergo changes as my life progresses as well. Stay tuned for all the forthcoming exciting news!
Thursday - August 4, 2005 Updates forthcoming...I promise! Thursday - July 28, 2005 - Updates forthcoming I know, I know...I haven't updated this website in quite a loooong while. So much has happened since my last entry that I'll need a good amount of time to report it all! Let's just say that my life will be undergoing some major 180-degree turns in the very near future...
Stay tuned for details! In the meantime, check out my growing project...it's starting to pick up major steam! :)

Monday - January 17, 2005 *** SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!! *** Today marks the offical launch of our new website: Best Health Online! I must say that I feel so thrilled and happy to share this website with you! I feel as though one of my lifelong dreams has been born and is starting to grow and positively affect people's lives!
At first glance, you'll notice that the Best Health Online website is currently designed with a health and fitness focus.
Many of you may know that I used to be obese; and sick and tired and frustrated--like you may be--with fad diets but I finally achieved the body of my dreams by following what I call FAD-FREE fitness principles.
Well, this process has inspired me to help others change their bodies and transform their lives as well. (By the way, I share my "before" and "after" pictures, not necessarily to impress you but to impress upon you that you CAN make tremendous changes!)
In fact, I hope you visit our growing testimonials pages to see how many others have made even more impressive transformations than my own! Over the next few weeks and months, I hope to convey my ultimate goals with this website and share what I really want to do in life. And my ultimate goal is to live a fulfilling life.
I mean, I don't want to simply achieve success or acquire things; but rather, strive to experience the daily PROCESS of lifelong fulfillment...and I encourage you to do the same!
This only occurs through continual, personal development and by following a perpetual and progressive self-improvement system; much like the A.C.H.I.E.V.E. principles which I've written about in my books and adapted from many of my life coaches who have inspired me along my life's journey.
So I encourage you to take the first few steps towards experiencing LIFELONG FULFILLMENT.
I wish you all the very best in fitness and in life!" --------------------------------------- Testimonials and Real Life Transformation Success Stories
