6 Months and Fighting...

Yesterday was one of those rare days where I got to do something for the whole shift. And it was to bag and monitor a pre-term baby. It was very hard to see the expression of the family as they saw their tiny baby fighting for her life. What's even harder is to hear that the attending physician not telling them the whole truth just because they dont have the means to afford the necessary procedures and equipments to give that baby a chance. I know it will just be a slim chance but he shouldn't have told the family that we didn't have any incubator just because he knew that they couldn't afford it. It was just sad to think that a person who swore that they would save lives would trade money over life.

A Different Kind of Bonding Experience...

A supposedly overnight swimming turned into a different kind of bonding experience with my friends yesterday. Instead of opting to go to the boondocks to swim and freeze to death. Ja changed the location to somewhere we could relax and still have some fun in the water. So we went to a spa facility near Roxas. I heard Ja's account of his experience here as well as Michael's since both of them have been there before and I am anxious of the part where we have to be nekkid when you're going to use the pool since I haven't lost my holiday fats and I'm a very shy person. 

When we got there, I was kind of in shock with the environment because I'm not used to people just letting it all loose. What's even awkward is to have to see your friends nekkid. I have to filter out the images I was getting. It was kind of liberating once you get used to it. I caught up with Jeje and Ker who I haven't seen in a while. After the massage, we headed over to Starbucks to bond over a cup of coffee courtesy of Maki (thanksthanks angyaman talaga nyahaha) I had a really good time last night and even though my whole body is sore I'm rearing to go another time... I heard someone's birthday is coming up (hemhem) 

Kill Me...

When I was a teeny tiny boy still confused how the world works, I dreamt of living a long life. Today, I really need to think of hiring someone to kill me at a certain age. Although I do want to experience life for as long as I could I don't think I could bear the different things associated with old age such as wrinkles, flabby and sagging parts, illness and disease, being dependent and so on. I assisted on a case today involving a very very old grandma who has an ulcer on her perianal and sacral area. During the operation, I need to perform manual evacuation since the area must be kept clean and for the convenience of the surgeon itself. Even though I don't have the right to be squirmish about these things because this is the profession I vowed to. I really can't help it since never in my whole life did I dream of having to manually get someone else's shit. That was definitely an experience, not very pleasant but still an experience. 

Anuka Anak ng Diyos...

Surprise, surprise. The universe pulled a prank on me. hahaha. Earlier this morning I received a text message from a big hospital informing me that I was scheduled for a training program for their staff nurses. I was more than surprised since it could be a big break for me. I called everyone who I knew had the experience of the screening process of that said hospital and they were as surprised as I am since I haven't really undergone any process at all. I haven't even answered the initial exam. They told me to confirm and so I did. Lo and behold they forwarded my number under a different name. Akala ko pa naman anak nako ng Diyos nun with all the good things coming my way... nyahaha

I hope this bliss will last the same day next year... ;p

The Year I Hope Will Be...

2008 whizzed by so fast and now is the start of another year that hopefully will be better than last year. I think most, if not all of the plans that I have made the previous year didn't happen because I lack commitment. So this year, I really need to COMMIT to everything that I am doing. I have to commit to not eat so much since my waistline is alarmingly HUGE. Besides that, hopefully I could get to commit to join a good friend to go to the gym which I am so freaking scared of because I get intimidated by the gorgeous bodies around me. (not to mention that I might not be able to work out since I'm staring at someone) I definitely need to commit to be on time in every appointment that I have since I haven't been on time ever on most of them last year. A good friend of mine even lectured me on that bad habit of mine. (Painful) Last year, I lost a couple of friendships and hopefully this year I could commit to not lose any and just gain a couple more. Last but not the least, I really hope that I get to have my break on my career so I need to commit on getting one.... ;p
