It was one of those days where everythings just seemed so right and yet there are some things that were wrong but nevertheless, you enjoyed the day.

The past three days were one of the most fulfilling, and nerve wracking days of my life. We had our duty in Valenzuela General Hospital. And, boy! Sumabak kaagad kami sa aksyon! Asteg. We were assigned in the DR (Delivery Room) - a place where life is supposed to be brought in to this world.

Naka-witness na kaming na several deliveries. At, sawang sawa na ako sa itsura ng vagina. Pero, kahit sawang sawa na ako, na-aamaze ako sa female reproductive system, kasi ngayon pa lang talaga nag-sink sa akin na super powerful ng muscles natin at super powerful ng uterus. At, superpowerful din ng mothers dahil super sakit talagang manganak. Makikita mo talaga sa facial expressions nil na super nasasaktan na sila. Super! Saludo ako sa mothers!

Ang galing talaga ni LORD!

Tapos, doon ko din na-realize na talagang maraming tao ang hindi pa enlightened kasi pinapalaglag nila yung anak nila. Yung isang case dun ay uminom ng Cytotec kaya nalaglag yung anak. Induced abortion. Grabe! Naaawa ako.

Ang dami kong natutunan, first day pa lang. Madami pa ang mapupuntahan namin. Kaya mas madami pa akong matututunan! Asteg! Galing talaga. Tapos nakapag-IM injection na ako. Tsaka, nakapag-IV push na din ako. Nakapag-assist na ako sa isang minor surgery. Nakakangalay. Nakapag-catheterization na din ako.

Pero, nothing beats the experience of witnessing an actual delivery. Grabe! Alam mo yung super overwhelmed talaga ako. Yung tipong ang galing talaga ni LORD. Imagine talagang super HE thought of everything. Galing!!!

Ipag-pray niyo na ma-kumpleto ko yung mga PRC sheets ko para konti na lang yung gagawin ko for fourth year. Sana ay madaming manganak next week sa duty namin!!!

I only have 2 more days left until their so-called vacation (--not!) ends.

First, happy birthday to my friend Rocel! Happy 18th birthday Rocel. Actually, kahapon yung birthday niya at nag-celebrate kami sa house niya. Ang saya! Dahil may mini-reunion kami nina Beth and Iris. Haay... Nakaka-miss!

We miss you Beth and Iris!!! Especially ang aking buddy na si Beth. Wah! Nalulungkot na naman ako. Kita na lang tayo ulit.

Hay. Ang dami ko palang taong na-mimiss.

Second, ang dami kong dapat bayaran! Well, buti na lang at nabayaran ko na yung ibang dapat bayaran. Bali mga 1 grand na lang ang kulang. Pero, may mga dapat pang bilhin for the tacklebox tapos, books na super mahal at super dami. Hay....

Third, pagod na pagod na ako sa kaka-practice ng kanta para sa pinning and capping. Paulit-ulit na lang. Kaya bukas ay aabsent ako may excuse na naman ako. Sabi kasi ng aking EENT doctor ay hindi dapat ako salita ng salita dahil inflamed ang aking temporo-mandibular joint. Kaya muffled yung hearing ko sa right ear tsaka painful siya.

Fourth, gusto kong muling basahin ang Anatomy, Pharmacology, and Funda books ko kasi mag-dduty na kami sa mga hospital. Totoong tao na ang makakasalamuha namin. Hindi na lang puro dummy... I want to be ready. I want to be the best nurse that I could possibly be. And, if I do good, I will proceed to medicine. :) Hay wish ko lang.

Fifth, alam niyo ba na pumupunta ako sa mga websites ng universities na may medicine -- Harvard, Cambridge, Yale, Princeton, Stanford (ambisyosa!). Ayun. Ang daming requirements... I doubt that I could get in the universities. Siguro, sa St. Luke's MedSchool na lang ako. :)

Sixth, gusto ko na talagang maging doctor. Kung hindi neuro surgeon, gusto ko sa cardio ako. Hay...

Hay buhay... I hope that everything will be okay.

Please pray for my grandmother who is currently in the ICU. And Dx ay pneumonia. hay... I love you lola beer!

  1. There has been an unfortunate accident that just happened 2 minutes ago. Yaya fell because I took the computer chair away from her where she was suppose to sit. It was an accident but I feel horrible because yaya was really hurt. And, although I said my sorry I think its not enough. Waah! This is just horrible. She hates me again.
  2. There isn't going to be any vacation for me. This sucks!
  3. I love watching Grey's Anatomy. If you haven't seen this show, well, you better grab a copy of the first season. Great!
  4. I think, I want to be a doctor.
