going bulilit

Tomorrow, pedia na rotation ko. Pedia OPD...

Panalangin nyo ko.... kids are not the easiest patients to have. And the mothers are the harderst people to deal with when in the hospital. Waaaaah... Patience and grace. Please Lord give me patience and let me extend grace.

Ngayon pa lng stressed nako sa thought na mag-iinsert ako ng mga IV sa mga maliliit na ugat at makakarinig ng walang humpay na iyak at tili ng mga maliliit na mga bata kasama na ang masusungit na mga nanay na feeling nila pinag-pa-praktisan mo lng ang mga anak nila. Waaaah... Sabi nga ng classmate ko, pag nagreklamo daw ung nanay na ilang ulit na kami nag-try na mag-insert ng line sa anak nya, sabihin ko daw: "O sige, ikaw na nga lang maglagay nito!" Hahaha.

5 months nako intern! Waaaah....
-Ber na bukas. :)
Merry Christmas po!

wandering feet

Have you ever felt restless? Does the road call for you? Do you feel the itch to move your feet knowing that your current position just isn't where you're supposed to be for the next minute?

My family has never stayed more than five years in one place. I guess it goes with my parents' jobs. Well yes, it was hard at first, but then i got used to it. And then i even looked forward to moving again. Ngayon, i feel restless when i've stayed in one place for too long. Like 4 years here in Iloilo in the same house and room. Nakakabaliw.

Panahon na para gumalaw ulit. Next year. :)

Lord, lead me and i will follow. I will not move unless you go before me.

Excited nako!

decision-making time

A few hours ago, i was sitting once again in one of the seats in Roxas Hall along with my batchmates. We were there, excused from duty at the hospital, to be "wooed" or informed by several representatives from different hospitals (who were graduates of West din) here in Iloilo and Bacolod regarding their Post-Graduate Internship programs. We were also given application forms to fill in and a list of all the possible hospitals we could apply in. Accompanying these documents is a small slip of paper containing our GWA for the past 3 years and our class rank. *gulp*

The Lord has a very skewed sense of humor. He's really amazing! Hahaha. :)

Anyway, i left the room with only one thing sure.... well at least about 95% sure... and that is that I'll be applying for the DOH Integration program at East Avenue Medical Center, National Kidney Institute, the Heart Center and Children's Hospital. So that's my first choice as of press time today. The next 95% decided thing is that i won't apply at PGH since i really don't think i'll survive Taft Avenue or the workload at PGH. E dito pa nga lng sa West e naiiyak nako sa pagod ko, don pa! Ayoko na! The next two choices for a hospital are... well.... i guess i might call them wild cards. I don't know yet san ako mag-aapply. I might put down Baguio General Hospital just to put down something else for my last hospital of choice. I don't know..... Aaaaarghhh... All i know is that next year, I want to be in Luzon again. Even for just next year na lng ulit....

So anyway, here i am, sweating over decisions i have to make. Again.

I called my parents of course. Yesterday. I asked them about where i could go for PGI-ship. And as expected, they will make me decide for my own where to apply. Like they did when i was choosing a course in College. And choosing to go into Medicine and deciding on a school to go to. I should have known they won't tell me what to do. Only that I go where the Lord wants me to be.

And that's the crux. I don't know for sure yet where that is. And I have two days to listen for the answer. Please pray with me that i be sensitive to hear where God's call is. And that i would be faster still to obey.

For His ways are higher than my ways. And His thoughts are higher than my thoughts. Blessed be the Name of the Lord. Amen.

dear Lord...

Lord, i really need another laptop. Nag-retire na po ang luma kong laptop.... *sigh*

And i know that my God shall supply all my needs according to his riches in glory.
Lord, ikaw may alam ng needs ko.
Help me to wait for your time na sagutin mo ang prayer kong ito.

Thank you Lord in advance. I love you.

---------------------------------------

Samahan nyo akong ipagpray ang magkaron ng bagong laptop. :)
Salamat!

a blessing

I looked up and saw the full moon tonight. It was breathtaking.

And once again i remembered. I thank God for all the dear people who share the wonder of God's creation with me. God bless you. May He always keep you and make His face shine upon you and give you peace.

The Lord hold you in his hand until we meet again.

*yakap*
