dahilan. . .

Nakatunganga lang ako at na-reminisce ko ang buhay ko nung ako ay isang stujante pa lamang at na recall ko yung times na I was in a crisis (u know assignements, projects, practical exams, oral exams, written exams, reporting n all that jazz)..nung time na yun napa-isip ako kung bat napasok ako sa ganitong buhay..san ba talaga patungo tong ginagawa kong ‘to?...

Kaya ako ay nag-analyze at sa wakas! Sa aking murang isip ay nakahanap ako ng sagot sa aking mga tanong!

Q: Bakit ba tayo nag aaral?
A: Para grumaduate.

Q: Bakit ba klangan nating grumaduate?
A: Para may trabaho.

Q: Bakit klangan natin ng trabaho?
A: Para may sweldo.

Q: Bakit klangan may sweldo?
A: Para may ma-kain

And yes! I’ve found the culprit! Pagkain! Pagkain ang dahilan kung bakit ako nagpupuyat ng ganito.

Shiyet!

with a smile =}

D naman ako suplada ah...

Working at a tertiary hospital is very busy...in one day, there are really a lot of activities, full of events…some good, some bad, mostly bad..pero enjoy…I’m not complaining, I don’t have regrets, matter of fact…

But hearsay, patients do complain about d way we treat them…suplada daw mga med techs samin compared to a lab run by a religious group…ganon?! Sabi pa nla, buti pa don sa iba, mga smiling face mga med techs, dito halos lahat nkasimangot…ganon?!
(e bat dito kayo nag pa ospital?)

I’ll give u an incident…

When the patient was called, syempre uupo na cla sa chair para kunan ng dugo…kakasabi ko pa lang ng

Me: “good morning” (may supalada bang ganon)
Patient: ano stujante ka ba dito?! (ehem! Tnx ha, I’ll take it as a complement)
Me: buong galang ko nmn syang cnagot na “licensed na po lahat ng med techs dito mam”
Patient: marunong ka ba?!..baka pagpraktisan mo lang ako (aba! shiyet! Bka kala mo ha..humanda ka at nasa aking mga kamay ang buhay mo ngayon heheh jk lang)….

O dba?..kitams? multiply mo ng 20 times yang mga ganyan na patients, yung iba mas grabe pa mga punch lines…kayo kaya sa lugar naming? kaya nyo pa kaya mag smile? instead na sana e bibigyan ko sya ng aking tlc kind of treatment e ang sarap2x icrosstich ang ugat nya! (crosstich: in our term, hindi na hit ang ugat kaya klangan tusok deeper den withdraw ng konti den tusok deeper ulit hanggang sa may makita na ugat)…pero I gave nmn my very best in extracting her blood anyway…

People are people, we can’t change that, may iba ganda ng ugali, yung iba nmn, ugali nila…e cguro mejo d lang tlaga ka nais2x…pero either way, as patients they deserved to be treated well, kaya kung namumula ka na sa galit e klangang pagpasensyahan kc pasyente..

Kaya kunwari may pasyente na hirap hanapin ang ugat sa sobrang taba o d kaya sa sobrang nipis o kunwari sa sobrang pressured at tense ng med tech dahil sa kaka dada ng pasyente at sa kasamaang palad e ndi na hit at klangan tusukin ulit...e klangan magpaalam sa pasyente na…”mam/ sir, wala tayong makuha na dugo so kelangan nating magtusok ulit”…but oh! Don’t forget!...deliver it…with a smile (hahaha)

Truly, revenge is sweet!

in 1

Uso na talaga ang mga katagang “in 1” ngayon…

Tulad halimbawa ng gamit sa banyo…shampoo n conditioner "in 1"…sa inumin naman…coffee, milk n sugar "in 1"..kaya kung noon e sikat sa tv ad ang “milk for my cereal, coffee mate for my coffee makes sense to me e-he-he”…e ngayon, it doesn’t makes sense na..

goodbye coffee mate n hello to coffee, milk n sugar "in 1"…

sa kanta din, uso na ang in 1…isang araw, nagdudty ako sa lab at syempre may background music para nmn d ma feel ang stress…tnx to our ever beloved radio na pag umandar ang sakit e alam na alam ko kung pano i-trouble shoot, pukpukin mo lang at k na…ibang klasehhh!

narinig nyo na ba ang latest revival ng mr. lonely? Ewan ko kung ano title...sa una e parang nasa energy fm ang station..yung station na madalas mong maririnig pag nag cocommute ka lng..cla rin yung station na mahilig sumira ng kanta..kpag maganda ang kanta n one day maririnig mo sa energy fm e parang nagiging pangit bigla..kaka-iba cla magremix…

after d intro of d song, parang nasa 92.3 WT ka na naman..cla yung station na ginagawang dance-able lahat ng kanta…kahit yung mga senti na pinakikinggan mo lang kapag gusto mo mag emote e nagiging pang disco fever na…don nmn cla magaling..sinisira nla yung essence ng “emote” category na song…

after d dance-able part of d song…don ko na narealize na nasa killer bee pala ako na stasyon..ganda pala ng song…aaayos…ka-lain mo? 3 station "in 1"…

Make sense to me! E-he-he…

Got this video, when I already know the title. it's "Lonely" by Akon. :)

Haaaay…Tell me…When was d last time I heard d song `Tell me where it hurts?’...Just a minute ago? Hahaha…Damn right!...

It’s already been months since I first heard d song…Ay! Wait lang…years na pala bt wen I first heard it…e-e-umm (sabay iling) doesn’t ring a bell …Bt wen i saw M.Y.M.P. take d stage last Feb. 14 n sang their version…haaaaay grabeh, sends shiver all over my spine…iba tlaga pag tga Davao (ehem!)…

To be exact, it’s been 2 months n 2 days na pala since i first heard `em n up until now, it still never fails…ang sarap sarap pa ring ulitin ng ulitin ng ulitin hanggang sa naging husky voice na c Juris, rock version na ito ateh hahaha…pinyrate ko lng kc cd ng barkada ng sis ko hehehe…

Kelan kaya ako magsasawa? ..Kapag pm shift, uwi sa bahay, matulog n js between d moment of waking up n b4 getting out of my room, i always give myself a dose of d “song”…kapag am shift nmn ako, pag d pa pagod, bonding with frens dn uwi sa bahay n dive sa kama ko, js b4 I sleep eto na nmn cla pakanta kanta…herd my bro saying: “so pathetic” n my sis: “na naman?” (in visayan version, i just tagalized it for d benefit of those who can't understand)…manigas cla…Hoissst! M.Y.M.P. may halong drugs ba yang kanta nyo?!

Is there anythin’ that I can dooooo?

Silence….

Drums….

Words…

Why don’t you tell me where it hurts now, baby?
And I’ll do my best to make it better
Yes, I’ll do my best to make, those tears all go away
Just tell me where it hurts, now tell me
And I’ll love you with a love so tender
Ooh and if you let me stay
I’ll love all of the
Hurt awaaaaaayyyy...

sleep all, sleep all day

Ever had the feeling of being so tired, yet unable to sleep?...Shiyet!!!

After over 36 hours of being awake, nt js awake but alive n kicking pa…nag beach den duty sa hospital, graveyard shift (rounder)…God knows that I deserve to sleep…I have to sleep…I need to sleep…but no! my eyes are still WIDE OPEN! Heeeelp!!!

I tried every possible thing to get myself to sleep…changing from position to another position, drink milk (which I normally don’t do), surf d net, read, even the corniest: count sheeps! Huhuhu how desperate can I get? Somebody heeeelp!!!

summer! summer! summer!

It’s been a long long time since I haven’t stepped my foot at the beach…n at last! after almost 2 weeks of planning, which is not that easy, taking into consideration that we worked at different shifts, I found myself at Costa Marina having fun! fun! fun! with my ka-lab.

We were taking pictures of ourselves, of course with our cutest smile, syempre para ganda tignan sa frenster (summer edition) hahaha…

We braved the heat n plunge into the sea! ooow grabehhh, I miss the feeling...syempre floating2x ang efek to get the tan skin n the rosy cheeks that I want to achieve hahaha

At the end of the day, seeing my bruises n d prick of d sea urchin den looking at my rosy cheeks n tanned skin…not to mention, good food, right crowd, cute pictures, n d euphoric feeling..ahhh it was all worth it!!!

Sa uulitin. . .

Starstrucked!!!

Dining hall was closed…Everbody was hungry… we have to buy food `to go’…Mcdo came to our mind, so off we go…While eating our dinner…

Ring..Ring…

Me: Lab. Hello

Nurse: ECG STAT, E.R.

Me: K

At the E.R…

Me: Mam san?

Nurse: Stretcher Bed 2

So I went at stretcher bed 2 n performed ECG…while putting the electrodes, I heard someone from js maybe 2 steps away…a familiar voice…

Someone: blah blah blah sa St Lukes blah blah…Andito ako sa Davao…

So I thought, hmmm probably not from here.

Someone: Oo..ha?...blah blah blah…Nasa Extra Challenge kc ako doc, dito sa Davao..

So I was thinking agen...not form here?...joining Extra Challenge?...could she be? a celebrity?

After the ECG, I returned the machine n out of curiosity, I peeped at Bed 1 (pa simple para d halata) n saw someone talking to her phone…I cnt identify, unsuccessful coz of the people surrounding her…den agen I peeped for the second time…Gladys Reyes! Kaw ba yan?! (sayang at la asawa nya)
