Dr Cuddy: House, I've got a D. Y. F. S. home visit on Friday.
Dr. House: And I've got a W. H. O. R. E. visit on...
Dr Cuddy: Mom is busy. You two are gonna have to play outside for a while.
Dr. House: This is the favor? I was expecting something involving... whipped cream... tongue depressors.
Dr. Taub: Sane people don't attempt suicide?
Dr. Kutner: Not ever? So if you were being burned to the stake and there's who one handed you a gun?
Dr. Taub: I'd shoot the guys with the torches.
Dr. Hadley: I'm not giving up on life. I'm just giving up on you. I finally feel like I've got a grip on things. I can handle this. What I can't handle is dragging anyone else down with me.
Dr. House: Gotta let the phone ring more than four times when you're calling a cripple. Chronic pain and pulmonary embolism. Go.
Dr. Kutner: So who do you know who committed suicide?
Dr. Taub: Hemingway. Gerbills. Romeo and Juliet.
Dr. Kutner: Your mom? Dad?
Dr. Taub: Saying I wouldn't do it under any circumstances means my whole family is suicidal?
Dr. Kutner: No. But categorically insisting there are no circumstances means you've got baggage. Personal betrayal? Abandonment?
Dr. House: No hurry. I already bathed once this week. I don't want to look elitist.
Dr. House: Yeah. Coz I'm clearly a guy who likes to knock out a few naked pull ups before I greet the day.
Plumber: You hang laundry in there?
Dr. House: About to hang a plumber in there.
Dr. Hadley: Look at our patient. 32 years old. Not dead yet and already he's traumatized his wife... his son...
Dr. Foreman: And I'll bet they're cherishing every traumatic minute he has left. Wouldn't trade it for the healthiest guy in the world.
Dr. Hadley: True. And there's them suffering with him. Hating him everyday. Only their pain has the prospect of relief.
Jeff: I lied. I wanna die. Can't you please just let me die?
Dr. Cuddy: I'm inconveniencing you because you inconvenience me!
Dr. Cuddy: When's the last time you showered?
Dr. House: SCENT OF A MAN!
Dr. House: You want a man to carry your crap, you have to marry him first.
Dr. Cuddy: Or employ him.
Dr. Cuddy: And hearing me say no over the telephone wasn't good enough?
Dr. House: I'm inconveniencing you because you inconvenience me.
Dr. Cuddy: You know that foster care official's coming in the morning...
Dr. House: If it weren't, there'd be no inconvenience.
Dr. Cuddy: Do not try and force me to choose between my child and my...
Dr. House: I'M FORCING YOU TO DO YOUR JOB!
Jeff: Don't have a family, do you?
Dr. House: Left them all back in Krypton.
Jeff: You're alone. That's why you can handle your pain. No need to put up a front. To be what anyone else wants you to be.
Dr. Cuddy: You've got sufficient income, a high degree of personal AND professional stability, and you care enough to be embarassed by what a mess this place is. Believe me, that puts you head in show as above and most of the foster moms I visit. See you next year... if you haven't adopted her by then.
Zack: Because he's not Dad anymore. He just wants it to be over with. Will you please... please.. just let him die.
Dr. Cuddy: I passed by their meager standard. I failed by mine.
Dr. Wilson: Why do women always do that?
Dr. Cuddy: Fail?
Dr. Wilson: Create ridiculous standards that no human could meet. With your careers. With your kids. You have to be more like us men.
Dr. Cuddy: Being lazy? Blame others?
Dr. Wilson: GET HELP! Most men in your position have a deputy and two assistants at work, and a wife and two nanies at home. You're not superwoman. Don't be a martyr.
Dr. Taub: A colleague. We were residents together. I should have been the one to stop it. He had the mother of all god complexes. So busy treating everyone's problems, he's blind to his own. Helped himself to a vial of insulin, it's a miracle he survived. His friends and family almosts didn't. He was a selfish ass.
Lynne: When I saw you? When I saw the cane? I thought "Thank God! A doctor who will understand
."
Because I sure as hell don't. My husband thinks it's over. So look at me in the eye, and tell me you'd want to live like that.
Dr. Kutner: Looks like we shot the guys with torches.
Dr. Taub: Yep. It pays to hang around.

Home alone, Chinese New Year, work and a bunch of other stuff...
Friday evening last week, my wife left for the Philippines for a one-week vacation, leaving me here to fend for myself, keeping the house clean, and dealing with work. I would have wanted to have gone back home with her but circumstances in the office simply made it impossible to do so.
It's quite lonely being home alone, so much so that our little 2+1 unit is quite a mess. :) The fact that my roller circus schedule is playing tricks on my body clock is not helping me to wake up at the right time to do some chores: it's not quite right to hang my haundry out to dry in the afternoon!
Anyway, today marks me and my wife's sixth year together! Happy Anniversary to us! :) She's not here still, though, so that's quite a big bummer. Still, we manage to keep it together. Texts and calls are quite cheap so at least we keep in touch.
There was also this one time when I did not wake up on time, hence, I was late for work. This was quite a big deal for me because I've never been late for work before... Well, never because I did not wake up on time. Oh well...
Chinese New Year came and went like it was nothing again... like most of the celebrations here. Maybe partly because it's not something I'm used to celebrating. Maybe partly also because I'm at work! :)) Just realized that I was at work during the last three holidays -- Christmas, New Year, and Chinese New Year. Makes me wonder whether I should look for a job with normal working schedules. Then again, the crisis is still here and leaving work for whatever reason is very risky. Maybe when I've gained something like a new certification or something.
Even my time for blogging and Internet surfing is affected by my schedule. This is the only time that I've been able to touch the laptop since last week. Come to think of it, most of the time, I'm either ar work or sleeping. :)) Still have a long way to go adjusting to this new lifestyle...
And also I haven't finished watching the previous and current House episode again!Too bad... Oh well...
Maybe it's time I down some vitamins as well... Given this irregular schedule, it's only a matter of time before my body gives out... I think I'm the only one left in the office who hasn't taken a sick leave yet.
Well, better get some shut-eye or I'm gonna be late again tomorrow. :))

TV Season's back!
In case you've not been keeping tabs, the Holiday break is over and the current season of our favorite TV shows are once again go! And it's about time too!
I'm not really gonna post much here. I'm still watching and reviewing House for my weekly quotes. Hehehe :))
So House is up. Heroes will be on the first week of February. Chuck will be much later -- third week of February. not to mention, American Idol's back! Wonder if there's gonna be someone like last season's Renaldo Lapuz -- aka "songer" of I am your Brother slash Brother's Forever. :)) I guess we'll just have to see.

New Year's musings at work...
I'm posting this while everything is still stable and I have some free time.
As I've posted before, I'm at work during the New Year's celebration. It's a sad thing but it's not all bad -- at least not stomach-wise; the bosses here treated us here to tons of pizza and fried chicken! :))
Good thing, also, that my wife is the understanding sort and she understands why I have to go to work. Bless her!
This is actually the first time I'm spending the New Year working. It's a bit weird, knowing that I'm stuck at work while everyone else is having fun...
Then again, I'm not in the Philippines, so fun is already out of the question! :)) Let's face it, nobody beats Philippines when it comes to Christmas and New Year celebrations! Since I'm not there, aside from my wife and friends -- who I'm happy to say are enjoying their mini-celebrations -- I'm not really missing much that I haven't already missed. Fireworks? I think it's not allowed here except in Marina bay.
Ha! I never thought I would miss the sights and sounds of New Year's fireworks back home! So loud... so bright... soooo.... DEADLY! :)) I haven't seen the news lately; I hope fewer people had to be taken to the hospitals this year.
Oh well, something just broke down. Back to work.
Happy New Year!
