1. I love ice cream and chocolate. When I was in college i used to eat a pint of ice cream whenever i had a bad exam... especially ung zoo113. Cloud 9 ang kinakain ko before every exam. :) power bar kung baga. hehe
2. Cats are soooooo cute... lalo na when they're asleep. But i don't like cleaning up after them. My favorite cat is Tigger. Hihihihi
3. I wish i was in elbi right now. Yun ang pinaka-favorite place ko dito sa pinas. :)
4. Tomorrow, I go on Duty. Somehow I'm excited to assist in deliveries, pero given a choice... i'd rather not. Finish ko na required number of Attends ko. Yey!
5. I'm sleepy pero ayoko pa matulog. Just for the heck of staying up late when I want to.
6. I'm wondering when I'll be able to finish all my studies and if I'll do well in my field. Why ever did i take up medicine again???? hehehe
7. I love taking long walks. I wish there was a place here in iloilo where i can take a long walk peacefully and sana scenic naman ung lugar. Kanina i walked from SM to my house.
8. Antagal na since I last took a picture of myself.
9. I wonder when I'll be able to go on a vacation again. I miss being on vacation.
10. I miss sleeping until i get a headache for too much sleep. Haha! Now I sleep at about 1 or 2 am when i'm not on duty, and i get up at 6am. boo.
I won't be following the rules because the effort of hunting up 10 people and posting on their sites is just too much.... :) So whoever wants to.... do. :) But karen jane siruelo... i'm tagging you. Hehe.

I've forgotten how to blog. Haha.
Today I saw a bunch of second year medical students about the hospital. They were wearing black shoes... which I kinda miss. And they were wearing this lost looks.... which i definitely don't miss but I find myself wearing anyways, like or not. And they looked fresh and excited... which I hope i still look like three months into internship.
I was surprised to see them. I forgot that the school year has opened.
Andami ko nang nakalimutan ngayon. Pero andami ko na ring bagong nalalaman.
Nga pala, nakapag-deliver na ako ng babies. :) They're so cute, they're like big worms. Hahaha. No, i still do not like babies in general. But I am ninang to one na... i named her. hehe. Claire Danes ang name nya... hehe. La lng.... And ilang beses nako napakain ng mga pasyente ko. Hehe. Buot ko mo. (Mabait kase ako) Haha.

dosk9s
I miss my batchmates. My dosk9 world in the hospital has shrunk to about 11 poeple na lang. I get to see and talk and laugh with my groupmates sa Surge and the Anesthesia people dahil kami naman ang magkakasama sa OR. Hmm... sige, isama na natin sa count ung mga OB people sa regular ko nakikita... kase dun ko kinukuha ung food ko sa kanila so i see them evey so often, pero it shouldn't count kase di naman kami nakakapag-kwentuhan masyado.... Ok, so my world has shrunk to about 20 poeple. Waaaah.. We haven't eaten together since we entered the hospital! Pambihira. Last April 16 ay nadagdagan ang mundo ko ng 8 na tao pala, pero nabawasan din ng 8 people. Nag-shift na kse ng rotations. Pero i'm still in Surge kase 1 month straight ako dito before shifting to another department. I'm actually happy to see JP these days. For real happy. Which is saying a lot. Hehe. Peace, JP! Hehe. I just love "meeting" my classmates along the halls of the hospital. Parang antagal-tagal na naming di nagkikita... di ko na alam ang mga balita sa kanila. Nami-miss ko na batchmates ko. Imagine that! hehe.
Which is why kanina was a special treat. I got to meet my other classmates... Sila Loribee, Adrian and PB. (Te, lantawa manong andre, i'm actually happy to have seen bimbo again! I must really miss my classmates....) Feels good to sing with the choir again. We sang the invocation and lupang hinirang at the Montogs' graduation kanina. Naks. Docs na sila. Kami naman, next year. God-willing. *grin*
Eist, dosk9s... .buhay pa ba kayo?
Pag-pray nyo pala ang isa naming batchmate, si Israel Reyes aka i-i (panganay na anak ni former Mayor Jordan Reyes ng Polomolok to the IV people...). He was admitted this morning because he was passing out blood (hematochezia to the med ppl and tumatae ng blood sa masa). Bumaba ung BP nya and he was white as a sheet when he was admitted. He was transfused kanina. Let's pray for him ha. Thanks!

still alive and kicking
18 days na kami into internship. whooohooo!!! To quote Charles Dickens, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." :))) May gulay... payat nako. No kidding at walang exaggeration. PAYAT na ako! hahahaha!
See, it took me 18 days to log in again! Hehe.
Being in the hospital is so different from just sitting in the classroom and studying about diseases. In the classrooms, we operate as in a utopian society where the patients can afford all the laboratory tests we could think of as well as all the medicines we should be giving them. Requesting for a CT scan was no issue. We encounter patients in the SGDs in 2D and we don't have to worry about the folks or the nurses or the other patients. Even if our 'cases' died, we didn't think much of it because they had no names and faces. We had aircons then, we ate on time, and we sat most of the time. In the hospital, everything is so.... well.... not the same. In the hospital, everything is alive, dynamic and unpredictable. Forget about eating on time because surgeries can go from 30 minutes to 6 hours. Goodbye lunch break tlga kung nagkataon. And goodbye chair. Haha. Oh my poor feet! But hey, i get the most wonderful cardio work-out there. Haha. Maglakad tayo all about the hospital and up and down stairs. Kung di ma-tone ang muscles mo ewan ko na lng! Hehe. :)
In the hospital, things happen in 3D... 4D even. And things can go wrong so fast. Some patients can't afford to buy antibiotics, some can't even get Nescafe caps for their colostomy. Wounds smell, operations are bloody, and yes, people "expire". One minute they're ok, next minute they're losing blood by the liter and the next instant, they've "expired". And what's markedly different from the SGD cases are that my patients now have names, faces and histories. I've met them, joked with them, touched them. Since now I'm in the Surgery Department, I've even watched while some of them are being operated on. They are not just 'cases' anymore. They are people. And it's never easy to lose any of them.
Anyway, i just dropped by to let everyone know that i'm still alive. I've lost some kilograms but i'm still ok. My hair is longer now. It can be made into a ponytail na. I still don't brush it regularly, haha, asa pa ko na mag-change un. :) I miss my bed. And my feet hurt a lot these days, but it's ok. I think i'll get varicose veins soon. Hehe. I'm enjoying myself immensely and it's just wonderful to be part of this calling. It's always a joy to talk with patients. To see them smile, to have them leave the hospital looking and feeling better than they did when they came. It's been 18 days now since I first entered the hospital as a clinical clerk/intern/4th year student. Madaming learnings and madaming unlearnings. 12 days pa ako dito sa Surgery, then i shift to Ortho. Then it's OB time come May 16.
Happy birthday naman sa mga magbi-birthday! :)
