random stuff ulit

ate camper ging is here in iloilo. she's back at the ivhome for a week. usap. tawa. iyak. kain. tulad ng dati. nakaka-bless.

Birthday ni Nanay ko today. i love you nanay! She's 61 and does not look it. o wonderful genes! :)

we'll be taking the last of our compre exams on tuesday and wednesday. and then the waiting starts. and hopefully... God-willing... we get to graduate.

got connected with Daniel, one of my bestfriends since elementary. this was how a part of our conversation went:
Me: is this number still yours?
Sya: Yap. Postpone po kasal ko... mahabang istorya. Haha bili ka ng sun sim para matawagan kita.
Me: Pagiisipan ko. Malapit nako maggrad pero wala pa kong art galing sayo.
Sya: Naku. 30pesos lang pinagiisipan pa. Hay naku. Haha, oo nga wala ka pang artwork na galing sakin. gusto mo ng nude painting ko? Ako din model.
Hahahahahah! Miss ko ang mga friends ko sa manila ngayon. hahaha. priceless.

Yesterday was ladies night/gents night at the ivhome. nakakatuwa. nakaka-bless. nakaka-remind.

i realized i'm happy here in iloilo. and that the four years i was here was filled with joy and love. and grace. and life. and that i will miss it.

i am thankful for 4 years. it was wonderful.

Lord, please let me graduate this April....

some things i learned about myself during internship

> i hate not being able to take a bath the next morning after being on duty for 24 hours. It's the worst part of being an FD.
> when i feel like i can't take anymore... feeling ko lang pala yon. dahil i still have more to give pala.
> i enjoy suturing. people. :) but i do not like surgery.
> i hate drunks. vehemently. and with all my being. they're the worst patients you can have.
> i find it hard to be sorry for intoxicated patients. i need a double measure of grace when dealing with them.
> i may not like kids, but i can oftentimes get them to allow me to examine them.
> the sound of a child crying sets my teeth on edge. i probably will not be a pediatrician.
> i do not like dealing with folks of pedia patients. i probably will not be a pediatrician.
> i am a night person. truly.
> 37 hours without sleep is the most i can go and still be functional. and i can manage again after 2-4 hours of sleep.
> i can go to sleep in under 5 minutes. talent ito.
> i can manage to sleep in whatever position. talent din ito.
> i can live on adrenaline for only so long.
> i'd rather sleep than eat. and i'd rather starve than prepare my own food. but when called upon, i can make a garden salad or pasta or cook pancit canton. i just prefer not to.
> i do not enjoy performing an internal examination. i most probably won't be an obstetrician-gynecologist either.
> i snap at people when i'm tired.
> masungit talaga ako.
> i can't study when i'm bangag.
> i enjoyed myself this year. but i'd rather not go through this again.
> i really want to be a doctor.
> i still want to be a dentist din. still. :)
> i can learn when i set my mind and heart on it.
> i admire the residents who teach. i admire the residents who are able to teach without making an effort of it more. i admire the residents who teach with their lives most.
> i easily forget.
> i have a really bad memory.
> i need to make more effort to learn and understand.
> people who smoke and drink had their diseases coming to them for a long time. i find it hard to empathize or sympathize with them.
> i still couldn't care less what my hair looks like when i'm on duty.
> when i'm tired and toxic, beware of me.
> i need occasional "break-down moments" to keep my sanity.
> crying helps me get a handle on things.
> laughter can also help me get a handle on things.
> i can go almost 24 hours NPO. hahaha!
> i'd rather care than not be affected.
> i need more grace.
> i need to extend more grace to others.
> friends are important to me.
> what others think matters more to me than i thought. can't decide if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
> i'd take blood anytime over feces and vomit and pus.
> i don't like pedia in general. but sometimes there are exceptions. but i still probably won't go into pediatrics.
> practice really does help.
> when i'm stressed, i shut down.
