I am bored. Now I kinda know what it means for those hens to just get cooped in the henhouse (or the green pyramidly thing like plastic contraption that those province sabongers set up for the roosties- what am I even talking about..waha).
Anyway, woke up feeling like I was morales after that fight with manny...only I am in fact not a Mexican and I don't even box! And my carpals, metcarpals, tasals, metatarsals feel like they were inflated or something last night...I can't move them so much as I could! I slept at ten plus naman ah...I didn't extend my time to play 02 jam...arrgghh...huhuhu...oh well.
No breakfast. No lunch. So that means I have to think of brunch later. No one to do that for me, coz everyone left for something. I have to think of other things to keep my mind off all that schoolwork I regret missing if I wanna remain sane here- like maybe sweep this pigsty which my brother calls a room (did that na while singing and dancing in Christian worship songs, yeah!), read ap book from cover to cover (on it since last night- NERD!!!!), watch youtube Korean vids- HeeChul!!! Aaaaa! (thnx Kr! T.T), do blogging, prepare breakfast (no, tmad ako), text someone (Christian, rep ka naman!), talk with Rep (did, but he left na for something too!huhuhu)!
Arrgghh, stress...stress...*closes eyes and massages earlobes* ...whoosahh...whoosahh...
No, I think may good reason naman why God let me stay home, first of them all which is of course, I got the virus and I shouldn't go spreading around. Second is that I have been putting off resting for weeks even after the prelims were over na (yan kasi matulog ka naman).
At marami naman akong nakuhang magandang lessons this season of unscheduled vacation, like for example I now know what it feels like to have German measles na, so if ever I get a patient like this, then I'd be more sympathetic!
And nakapag-bonding kmi ni Inay ko khapon (adik mga pintaserong baliw na chumika over walang kmatayang Goldilocks for lunch (fave nya ksi, so wt the heck), hahahaha). Suddenly I wonder how Julie is...hmm...I recall our chika over McDo snack...miss you how ever you are...
Pero kahit ngmamalaise ako, I checked my temp- 37.2. Kanina nahanap ko rin ung biogesic (after clearing the pigsty)...and I took it as soon as I did (safe naman on my empty stomach, so...)
Ayun na muna...12+ na pla. Lam niyo honestly I was about to feel sad kanina but I recalled na may nag-aalaga naman lagi sa kin (Jesus, I love you pare) so I didn't succumb to that anymore. So what if this nurse hasn't got anyone nursing her on the bedside?! I'm never alone and I know it! Yey me. Yey Lord. Date tyo mya.
Isolation day 1
Who wants a German embrace??? Hehehe
A mystery solved! Now I get why I’m feeling delirious, having red dots all over (not convex), and experiencing relapsing fever and body malaise- I got a mild case of German Measles!
But thankfully it’s a mild one as the doc said- but it gets me off-campus for not less than 7 days! Which really sucks big time, coz I’ll have to miss a lot of lessons. And my social time with my dearest friends! But then I care for those who are at risk of contracting the virus, so ok, stay home na nga…errgghh…
Anyway- a brief thanks to my classmates who expressed genuine concern (at least as I saw it)- Jords (grabe samahan ba ko- but didn’t mean to look like I’m flashing you, sorry), Kr, Syrille, Arianne, Katrina, Jonathan (lagot ka kay sir), Arianne (sorry anak), and Christian (have a bone to pick with you pa!).
For those who are sort of wondering what happened, eto kasi un. Humapdi ung mata ko due to (as I thought) hypersensitivity to some unknown allergen (naks! Chapter 18 na mga ppl!).
So punta Health Services with dear niece Jordi. Doc diagnosed a mild case of german measles, prescribed multivitamins and verlix…tapos dumating cla Mark. That’s when they found out. Huhu.
Then umakyat pa ko just to bid sir (and my classmates, in an ironic tone) goodbye.
Now I go blog, take medication by bedtime later, then read my next lessons…minus my social enjoyment (I got right here!!! Gemme outta here!!! *yamot yamot*).
Yun lang. Happy vacation tuloy ako…wuhuhu…wahaha…I dunno what to say.
Latent adolescent stage??? Meron ba nun?
The sun's shining as handsomely as my smile today na talaga namang na-eenhance as the days go by, hehehe (hmm...Peach was never this conceited until...). It must have been because of my little getaway with Bern yesterday (about 4 hours as she counted, but still too short for the likes of us).
At! May isang pangit na nagseselos jan (hoy rep, fyi- pinagsawaan ka na namin ni Bern, so buzz off our relationship!- nyenyenyenyenye! Iwan si reppy!Xp)
-------------------
**No, rep- seriously it was an unplanned thing- just had a free day and I contacted the first person that got processed in my limbic system, which is obviously not you (cge, iyak ka na, wahaha), although I DID think about contacting you, but I thought that you wouldn't be able to come by on such short notice, so there...but you know I love you anyways at nag-uusap naman tayo all the time, so macontento ka na, my one and only ex-hubby!X* **
-------------------------------------------------------
Or maybe it's because of my new 'do' today ('bakla!' as Christian (epal tlg un, wahahaha) instantly commented when I came in at 730). Nah, you wouldn't know...basta, some transformation is happening to me right now, more like a metamorphosis, wahahaha (Jrep, Bern- adik, mas malala na today!!!).
My diagnosis is that- I fear that Peach is experiencing a latent adolescent stage. Unsure of going through such a phase that I have detested and resisted for far too long- but what the heck, maybe it's about time that I did- I won't be 19 forever, come on! Maybe you'll get me when you see how I do now.
My final line here is this- come to think of it, Mark must have been silly at first (I assumed that he was) for believing in me (and seeing in me what others never did) in the first place, but well! His words did not fall on deaf ears...thanks dear...^^
FYI- the counter reads this as my 97th independent entry for this blog. which makes me really proud (that long already? wahahaha)
OK, have to sign off here- Christian needs a file...hahahaha...family planning. Cool.
i'll make long kwento na lang the peachie way, hehehe
SURPRISES of the recent times:
Saturday- met Shane again after a very (as in) very long time of not seeing each other (due to my tasks na rin partly)...chitchat, then went over to Tif and Therese's place to visit...
Monday- practice over at my PE classmate's house...had to come up with a routine for swing test and teach it to my groupie right before the following day of PE test (aaaaaaa)...but we did well, especially my ahia jo, galing gumiling (as if naman may igigiling wahauahauaha, joke- bad tlg ako)
Tuesday- met our new CI, Miss Tan...made rounds at our new ward sa hospital. FIRST TIME experience ako ng CODE BLUE, meaning naghihingalo na- dun pa sa ward namin...some 63 year-old woman whom one of my team mates was supposed to handle, take vital signs of.
(visualize this: bigla n lng mgssound off ng announcement sa megaphone dun sa nurses' station, then stampede ang mga interns and docs who want to give a free hand- pati mga usyoso papasok pa...imagine our startled expressions as they all rushed in and crammed into room 319-C (nasa rm 317 lng kmi, at buti la gaano pasyente dun now, which according to my CI is a rarity))
ANG MALUPIT pa niyan, ung pasyente ko, katabi lang nung bed niya (come on, it's in the charity division, so wlang partition, same room lang cla):
While one of the interns was desperately trying to revive the dying patient, both feet at kneeling position on one side of the bed pa ka mo, pumping all the way (kulang n nga lang lumusot ung old woman dun sa kama- as in! hahaha) hinanap ko ung woman patient ko. No sign of her anywhere. Tapos umikot ako (literally), and then parang larong pong taya, ung babae dun sa tapat ng bed niya sinabi sa kin:
"Ay, hinahanap niyo ba po ung pasyente jan?"
"Opo, san po?"
"Ay, dun sa labas, tumakbo sa taranta."
I thanked the lady and went out to find her. I found her- short wavy black hair, thick-rimmed glasses and wearing pink pa, fine. She restlessly walked back and forth there in front of the nurse station, clutching her floral orange bag and fanning nonstop with a folded Abante tabloid (you get the pic). I introduced myself and let her sit two rooms away from her real room. This is what happened pala:
She was awake with her daughter there on her bed when all these people came in because of the code blue thang. No one needed to tell her- she immediately jumped down from her bed and rushed out- kumaripas ng takbo, naunahan pa niya ung anak niyang babae, si 'Cathy' (also wearing pink, san ka pa!?). I laughed with her para hindi na siya mataranta- at para makuhanan ko na rin ng normal niyang vital signs, kasi naman ano, ang taas ng readings niya due to that event! So nadelay kami ng lunch break because of me and my delayed task (and what am I supposed to do, anyway? she was just being human, and patients are always top priority).
Later namatay nga ung patient na nirerevive...sinaksakan ng mga hormones but still...she's really expired, as we term it properly. My patient's still jumpy then, yaw tuloy bumalik ng room dahil dun. kahit pa nung nilinisan na ng staff nurses ung lugar, ala, yaw pa rin niya...I wonder if we'll still meet next week..? siguro naman by then solved na yang takot niya sa patay (o namamatay, whatever's worse for her).
Ako sa totoo lng first time ko mkakakita so I was rather in subconscious shock (if ever there is such a thing) during the afternoon. How easily life passes...hmm...
Three unusual days
Yes. Finally. After days of waiting I finally had the time to sit in front of the computer and do a bit of my passion- writing in blog form. I want to begin with what’s up with Friday-
Saturday. Talked with Qua in sj. Fun. Sleepy. Then went home with my cousins and bros. Played basket for an hour. Spent time on phone.
*In the am of Sunday I woke up at 4am, alarmed at not having a uniform to wear, until I realized that there was no classes pla…hahaha…the stress…huhuhu…
Sunday na. Missed eating with my fam. Thankfully we ate two meals together this day. Visited papa, all the four of us sibs.
Another first exciting moment- I did laundry under the endless pour of rain! Somewhat silly, but it was fun taking a shower while finishing up…hahaha.
I didn’t sleep...second time that ever happened. But I’ve never felt so happy…if that’s ever possible. It was a truth encounter with my aunt. About what’s been bothering me. And I praise the Lord for being soo merciful to me despite my unworthiness (we are all, after all, unworthy).
I was about to take at least 30 minutes of sleep when suddenly my cell beeped. My eyes had to open. That was it- wla na ‘tong tulugan! Snatching my phone from under my pillow, I read. Ay, Christian…with some dramatic quote about unrequited love. Big deal.
So instead of sleeping, I simply replied to tell him that I didn’t get sleep pa.
Attitude problem
I feel rather bad about disliking some classmates of mine. I know it's natual not to like some things and some people. Pero parang ang bad na I intentionally sonb off some people or refuse to offer help to them when I have bad vibes towards them. I also do that to some of my friends when I am not on good terms with them. Haay.
Why this thought?
Well just seconds ago I said goodbye on the phone to my least favoirte member of the class, with whom I just refuse to talk to unless necessary. See, I've tried befriending him since the opening of classes in the first year, and well, he put me down four times na in my head count. Which made me give up- iba na un ah!
I understand it when people do not need me around. Cguro isip niyo kulit ko no...hehe. Sigh.
Which brings me to that second commandment of Jesus. Di ba in the Old Testa, God gave the Israelites a guideline- the Ten Comms on how to lead a life that is pleasing to His eyes. In the New Testa, Jesus compressed it to two na lang: One, love God above all. Two, love your neighbor as you love yourself.
Easier said than done if you ask me. Kasi naman, pano kung epal talaga, di ba? Pano kung ubod xa ng ybang, talagang grr evil!!! Well at least in my context of evil...bsta.
Ung second commandment panama tlg yan for that kind of mentality. I mean just because that person refuses my friendship doesn't mean I should treat him as badly too. I need to be constantly reminded of how I should lead my life well, the hard head...grr...mahirap, but if I love Jesus tlg (and I DO love him) I wouldn't question this one.
So after that eye-opening call, I now wish to resolve my attitude towards this guy. I know he is mean, lakas mang-okray, but so what! As long as I don't treat him the same, well, no prob with me! So I'll be civil, respect him as much as I would like others to respect me if ever I'd be in their positions. Come on, sino naman tyo para magmalinis? Biblically speaking,
"For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God..."
Peace to you all in Jesus' name. Amen.
Peach loosens up
Bequa was supposed to come along, had Jrep not forgotten to inform her of the time and place (duh, rep! of course you had to inform her of that! bad ka! Huhuhu…)
Roll call: Me (of course), Jonathan, Jonreph, and a KR (blockmate and new friend)
So! We were supposed to go to Mega, but later changed upon rethinking the distance prob.
KR was feeling sickly sentimental upon her memory of first seeing and personally meeting her fantasy celeb singer guy, Jae Jong, there in that mall.
We had no real plan for the day, no purpose for coming in there but to spend time indefinitely. I felt soo happy upon seeing Jonreph again (I missed him so much!)- and this time with two of my new friends from UST:
Jo…well, he’s a Judenite, so no need to introduce. I’m extremely glad he came along with me despite the short notice. I didn’t exactly tell him or showed him my joy of his company, but I’m sure he knows, hehehe. Thanks, Ahia.
KR. New friend. She’s a cool happy gal who has a lot of love for Korean culture and her ‘husband’’ Jae Jong, one of the five boys forming the phenomenal singing band, Dong Bang Shin Ki. She’s bubbly, talkative, and really fun to be with. She’ll wear you out without effort! :P I’m very happy that she and my friends clicked just fine on the first meet.
So! What did we do?
Ikot, walk (Jonathan’s 1st time eh, mine’s 2nd).
Looked out to the sea (it’s beautiful!).
Than eat corn sa baso ang girls.^^
Chika kami.
Arcade- Air hockey, drum, tambourine, racing, dance dance (ung may sensors only)
Picture to sawa using the phone cam? Hehehehe.
When we got tired and it was almost dark (around 5:30 kmi ngstop), we sat in Starbucks and waited for Jonreph’s car. Good way to end the day...but as I exclaimed to them as we went off, I'll definitely never forget this day, hahahaha!
Btw- Jrep! Exams na, right? God bless you there.
