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.
