THE HOUSEJOB CHRONICLES: CHAPTER 5

It has been quite a while but here I am again.

In this part, I will be sharing the unique experience I had during my short break from all the intensity of my previous rotation.

Let’s ride in…

DORA THE ADVENTURER

As usual, I was not sure if I wanted to travel or not. I was tired though and needed some free space to air out.

I finally made the decision to travel again for my short break.

Before then, I had a unique experience during my Paediatrics posting where I was opportune to volunteer in an outreach and also visit a natural tourist centre.

I did share more of this on my Instagram or YouTube but for the mean time I explained a little on a reel on my Instagram page.

Okay…..back to the real break.

I was able to jet myself and meet with two friends and I had extra plans too.

I planned to vist an art gallery, a beach and possibly a museum. I was only able to fulfill two out of this and the experience was worth it.

I will only share a little here and like before share the bulk of it on my YouTube or Instagram.

I visited the Nike Art gallery. A popular art gallery and it was a site to behold.

I did a reel of a glimpse of this experience.

Then I visited the beach where close to water, I gained deep memories and had release.

In these adventures with people I had come to care for and enjoy their company, I got some refreshing and release I believed was going to help me begin the next posting.

I prayed for a calm posting because honestly my previous posting drained me and using what I call the sunshine drop therapy, I was able to maintain a calm and smiling countenance.

Don’t worry, I may tell you about this therapy in a podcast

I completed my short holiday and headed back to base.

My next posting was medicine but what specific unit?

I will tell you if my fears were confirmed or if I managed to escape.

If you are enjoying this, give it a thumbs up and share.

I share a lot and if you check the menu button on this, you will see them easily displayed. However, a quicker link is here.

Okay, until the next post continue to stay safe and God bless.

PREAMBLE 1

Hello and welcome to day four of this series.

You are correct, this series has not been flowing like previous ones but I am trying as much as I can to make it work.

Let’s go…

YOU NEED A PUSH

To do certain things.

Sometimes, you need enough encouragement and inspiration to do certain things.

Sometimes, you need to be pushed outside your enclosure to achieve certain feats.

It happens

DOING IT

I promise you, I need the words I share with you

Sometimes you need encouragement to do it.

And reminders too.

If you are someone who chases life head on , then keeping your fire burning is one thing.

However, you need candle lights to keep your fire burning and many of them are people

You need need encouragement.

Me too

FACE IT

Sometimes, you need to face it for what it is.

And just do it

Sometimes, you need to stop holding back and go for it.

Go for it

Face it for what it and do it. I know it may take time and you may be slow but it is better than nothing.

Yes, baby it is

Ecclesiastes 9: 10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might; for there is no activity or planning or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) where you are going. (AMP)

The year has been challenging but I am grateful people in my life that have pushed me to do the things I need to do.

I am grateful for those that have cheered me on.

I love you

Until next part, stay safe and God bless.

HOUSE JOB CHRONICLES: CHAPTER 1: THE BEGINNING

I had completed medical school, however because I did not study in my country, I needed to write entry exams to pratice in my country.

But….

I was drained from my final year exams.

Drained…..

I had experienced depression during the exams due to the weight of the preparation. I prayed, fasted, and moved in faith trusting God for the best.

I had support from family and friends who prayed for me and encouraged me.

God did it. I passed but I was not ready for any more exams.

It took 6 months to reboot myself mentally and emotionally and that was after participating in online classes and physical hospital postings.

The practising exams were written and thankfully, I passed by God’s grace.

I however had to wait for months to register for the induction, get inducted (a splendid experience for me) and then wait for a housejob opening.

I missed the first opening, however I was not ready.

Again

I was not ready for housejob. I felt drained again from preparing for the licensing exams. I wanted to have time to recuperate and get myself together.

This took another 3 months and I knew I needed to move on with my life.

Gratefully, after many heart thumping and nerve-wracking processes I got a space opened for me to start housejob.

However, I was going far away from home. To the opposite side of home and it was intentional.

I needed more adventures

Flights, road journeys and I reached my destination.

New people. New family. New faces. New places.

I found myself in an environment I was alien to and I loved the excitement I was experiencing.

I got to the hospital I had selected and the began the process that would lead me into the experiences I will share with you.

THE BEGINNING

Next part to be shared soon.

Preamble

Cavewoman was concluded recently (check previous post) and in this post, I will be sharing highlights from the art galleries I visited while making the documentary.

Location

Khartoum, Sudan.

Specifically Khartoum 2

I will share the specific location for each of the galleries in case you wish to visit.

Mojo Gallery

This gallery is small in size but filled with multiple artworks on different surfaces. They range from descriptive art to abstracts.

I was impressed with their warmness and the accessibility to the artworks.

There are art prints to purchase and sculpted works too.

I met an artist who came to display her artwork. She was super friendly and gave her contribution on how I could get supplies.

The curators in the gallery were encouraging too.

They have a percentage they collect for artworks they display and the possibility of having your artwork displayed depends on quality of media and surface and thier interest in the supposed artwork.

Location

Mojo Gallery
Khartoum, Sudan

Shams Gallery

I laughed more in this place. They were super warm. I met one of the main painters (I forgot his name, my bad 😳). He told me that he travelled to Lagos, Nigeria for an art exhibition. He along with two others were the only ones selected for the program. He said he loves Lagos and would love to visit again. I met him while he was painting and asked few questions which were answered.

With him was another who was probably just a guide in the gallery.

I also met the one who frames the pictures and his English was very good and it was easy communicating with him.

I showed them my artwork (Affection) and they commended and encouraged me to keep practicing. I also got directions to the art store where I could get better and cheaper supplies.

Location

Shams Gallery
67th Ave E, Khartoum, Sudan

End note

There should be more galleries but these are the ones I visited in the process of creating the last series.

I felt inspired and encouraged after checking these places and even though I felt sad for finding them in the last period of my stay in this location, I am grateful to have still viewed them.

You can visit my art gallery via the ART page 😊.

You are welcomed to view anytime.

Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. (KJV)

Welcome back from hiatus🌷

I missed sharing posts😅😅

Febuary has been a ride…..⛵

Medical school has opened another portal for me this year😂😂, another package of adventure.

Medical school is full of surprise, you cannot easily predict your ride. You can only prepare as much as you can. You cannot be too smart, you can always learn something new.

Medical school has opened my mind and helped me to be more humble😂😂

It is truly humbling

Before I get distracted😂😂

There are tons of topics that would be shared soon, I hope you engage🤗

If there are topics you would like to be discussed, you can share in the comment section. There is no guarantee, I would use the topics but I would certainly appreciate the feedback. I am not lacking on topics but I would love to know your interest….

A lot of drama has happened in the past few weeks and they will certainly get incorporated in the topics😂😂😂😂

N.B If you are in my life, you are liable to appear in my writings😏. Although, I can be very indirect when I want to keep my source of inspiration invisible😁

Has Febuary been eventful for you?

#fromamedicalstudentfaraway

Y. O. L. O✌

Preamble

I said somewhere that ✌ is my currently most popular emoji..

This may not be your first time encountering this eponym but today, I”ll share my view.

Emojis are my thing.

You only live

Or?

Leave.

So many people are alive but are not living.

They are already numb to the aesthetics of their environment.

Once

I will say twice.

Once before death. Twice after death

Things to be done

It is beautiful how topics for January are co-related.

This topic goes in line with Procastination, the second topic for this year.

There are things you need to do, have to do, and want to do but you are not doing them…..

Scratch that

There are things you are supposed to do

Don’t scratch anything. Unscratch the scratched one. I am still saying the same thing

You are not doing them because you think you have time

But time does not have you

Thrills. Adventures.

Do you like exploring?

Do you love routine?

Do you love what you want depending on spontaneous emotions?

No other options available

What adventure have you been wanting to do?

Y.O.L.O so….

Live now.

Do it right.

Live right.

Have sight.

Make impact.

Stand right.

Take strides.

Fight right.

This was taken from inside a moving vehicle on the streets of Khartoum. There are more beautiful paintings like this and I finally took this one after several encounters with it

Y.o.l.o so

Have sense, common sense.

Understand yourself.

Know why you are existing.

Be intentional.

Eat right.

Let go of bad habits.

Love truely.

Embrace love.

Have hope.

Cherish faith.

Y.ol.o so

Dance.

Take that photograph.

Eat that food.

Do that plan.

Sing that song.

Take good naps.

Y.ol.o so

Love God

Psalms 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
King James Version

I know that Y.OL.O is mostly used to encourage crazy behaviours or adventures but I have taken it to mean : Doing life the right and healthy way without regrets at the end of the day.

What it mean for you?

January has 31 days….
