Pleasant Remembrances

           I have not done any requirements for my overseas work but I already feel nostalgic. My stay at SLMC is not totally fun but it is full of important experiences. Can you imagine? I spent Five (5) years in this hospital. I was so young when I started here. The only route I knew then was Parang-Cubao and Cubao-Quiapo, but now I am already preparing to leave. Time has passed so fast. I will miss how to take care of post-cardiac surgery patients here in CVRR, though I know I will still take care of the same sort of patient when I go to KFSRH.

           It's just that, its so painful to imagine that I'm going to leave. For five years, this have been my way of life but now I'm going to leave it all. I will go to a place where I know no one, but Im still lucky considering Kara will work with me. I'm going to miss having petty debate and discussion of desperate love story with Ryan, cynical conversation with Terence, intellectual conversation and sharing the same abhorrent feelings towards many things that affects our professional life with Miko, persuading Diane to get angry and try not to let others a hold of her. I will also miss joy, she's one unique person. And the kuyas, they're a bunch of incomparable people. I will miss how Kuya Mike acts like my dad. He would call me, telling me that he left food for me, he doesn't know that I'm so hungry because I went somewhere very important. I would feel relieved then because I can finally eat. Thank you Kuya Mike. You're one of a Kind.

          I will miss much my nanay who still takes care of me even when Im married. I love you nay, you just don't know. My tatay, who has been there all the time to encourage me, and is always behind my back. My siblings who supports and believes in me always.

         My husband, with a never-ending love for me. Thank you for your patience. I know I'm unbearable at times but you're still able to. You gave me the kind of love that nobody can give. I love you sooo. I guess this the moment where our love will be tested by time and distance. I trust us. We are guided by God.

         Most of all I'm going to miss my little bundle of joy ZOE. Once we were far with each other. When you stayed with your paternal granny, and I thought I was going to die. But this time I'm going to try harder. Because I know this is for your present and your future. I love you very much baby.

          I guess this is really the way of life of a Filipino nurse. They go to places they don't know just to be able to have something to give to the family. So that life will go on in the Philippines. Because ever since we were indoctrinated to behave and to think this way.

         Wake me up when February ends.

          Its christmas time again and we are preparing for another party in the unit. There are two more days to prepare, but I don't think that's enough. Ironically, all staff were confused as to the date. Some thought, like myself that it's going to be on the 17th but I was really shocked to know that it's going to be on the 16th. How did it happen?!?! I was the one who first informed everyone that its either 17 or 18, but now they just told me it's 16. I never heard of any meeting or whatever.
         Well, anyway, till now we only have Php 3,500.00 in our fund. Hahahaha..How can we go about that??? There's two more days. My fingers are crossed..A "MIRACLE" can happen..hehehe..This party planning is getting funnier everyday.
         Anyway, Kara and I were just talking this afternoon. I thought I was the only one wondering why our agency are not contacting us. It's been like a month already. I'll just call them after christmas if our contract is still good or else I'll apply in another agency.
         Another news for me today while sending invitations for our christmas charity. Kuya Mike and Ryan went to Dr. ********'s clinic to personally deliver the invites. Ate Letty (secretary) told them that she already gave Php 10,000.00 for CVOR-RR. Maybe CVOR just forgot that its for CVOR and CVRR. For heaven's sake they just forgot. And so I thought, are they really like that?Because I think they're good people with respectable conscience. But they're like telling everyone that they already have Php 30,000.00 in their fund and still going to collect money from their staff. And so its not just 30K.
        I can't go talk to them about that, i just can't, because I don't know if I can say it nicely. Honestly, I know I have a bad temper and so I don't want to make any effort to get what's just for us. I might make a scene, I don't want friction. I have an agressive personality and a peaceful working relationship is what I need. If only they were fair enough to share with us, but maybe they just thought the money is for them alone (that I'm not sure).
        However I still think there's miscommunication. They're not mean people. I know the OR is full of good people fair enough to share what is due for everyone.
        Pero kahit na siguro maraming pera ang CVRR parang ang hirap i-push through pa rin ang party namin. Ang dami naming conflict sa isa't isa, sampo lang kami nyan ha, what more kung madami kami. At first okay na sana na sa t.morato kami or timog but i found out na hindi naman pala okay sa lahat. Tapos nagka issue pa kami ni kuya mike regarding sa fund from Division of Nursing. And so I ran out of energy and motivation because no matter what I do, I cannot please and satisfy them all.
       Iba-iba kasi ang gusto. Kaya ako kahit ano na lang. Hindi din pwede na hindi pumunta kasi sampu na nga lang kami. Kahit siguro ano na lang. May gusto sa metrowalk , may ayaw din dun. May gusto sa fairview, may ayaw din. We can't come up with an idea suited for everyone. Or is it just because everybody's tooooooo stubborn and maramot to give up their personal preferences for camaraderie's sake??
       Bahala na nga lang, lalong nagiging complicated habang tumatagal, at habang tumatagal lalo din akong nawawalan ng gana sa lahat ng suggestion.

The new definition of Sentinel Event! ( I am just being sarcastic if you still don't have any idea until now.)

a. Sentinel event is when a Licensed Nurse endorses the patient to a technician of any field without any irreversible and untoward effects on the patient. It also happens when a nurse fails to accomplish his/her Intake/Output monitoring, Nurses notes, transfer of patients to ancillary units for a diagnostic procedure to avoid any probability of a re-op or loss of limb especially during stat cases when time is very crucial without any doctors order (even if the doctor on duty verbalized that he /she will write the order when all situation are okay.)

Happy bday to my sweetest Mom and my brother (my #1 Fan!)
