I PASSED OUT

I PASSED OUT
1st day of September, 2008

I woke up today, feeling that sweet rush of blood all over my body after having one long weekend of rest. It was a pretty feeling to have. Watching DVD's, eating noodles, surfing the net and lying there on my crooked bed wearing only my boxers. Nothing there to worry about yet. Haha. I'm giveth this time to take some leave of absence from the place I have been for the past four months. The past two months was one of the stressful time I had but also one of the best ones and I'm not denying the fact how much I've learned during my rotation in the Department of Pediatrics in Metropolitan Hospital.

I'm gonna be late again as I woke up early and finish up preparing my things and self about few minutes before eight. But I felt good. Community....how I can smell it. My time of rest. It was a hot morning but it didn't seem to matter that time as I was feeling good. This was one of those days I felt stress-free. Half of the morning went well. As noon time approaches, something started to sink upon on me. The reality I had to woke myself from my stress-free day. I don't want it to be ruined but I had no choice. Family matters.

I felt numb as I say goodbye to my co-interns to pursue my problem. I felt the sun loosing its shine over me as darkness starts to cover me. I walked through the streets of Blumentritt teary eyed. Not again. Everytime happening and predictable as it seems but I never made my self ready for it. So down with the fustration of this pursue, I decided to go back to my crib, removed my shoes and started removing my clothes off. Then I started loosing energy and suddenly fell deep into sleep. When I woke up, I missed half of the day in the community.

I felt dizzy and a little numb still. It felt like half of my body is buried in a pile of garbage. Its the same thing occuring eveytime. I felt tired I want to quit. My mom came that night. I want to embrace her but I felt very weak. She cried, I cried then I felt an energy coming into my body and providing me enough strength to even make a smile. It was my mom making me feel safe and calm. There was more than me, it was all of us. How sorry I felt that I've become selfish not thinking what others felt. I love my mom and I love my God that gave me this mother. It's time to take some rest, have a stick of cigar then slept.

The Thriller Experience @ Metropolitan

Dr. Benjamin Cuenca, the Department Chair of OB-Gyne is about to celebrate his bday. We were tasked by our residents to prepare a presentation for the said event. Medyo mahirap mag-icip ng ipeperform since lahat kami laging busy at preococupied with sleeping more than doing other things kasi nga pagud na kame from duty. Buti na lang, andyan si Ge (1st girl from left with right fingers pointing between her right eye). To cut it short magBillie Jean/Thriller kame. Haha. Sobrang alam mo yan. Walang kwenta yung mga practice namen. Either kulang kame or tinatamad na mga tau. When the day came, we were nervous pero whalah! It was a stunning performance. Baket? Panu? We tried to mask our imperfect performance by adding good backgrounds. We all clothed in black for the Billie jean track with white gloves and socks. Tpos naka dark light kame kaya it would show as if mga kamay lang ung nagsasayaw sa stage. Then the thriller part (still on dark light) we took off or black upper garment and revealed our tattered clothes scaring people in the audience then finally dancing like corpse with style. Hayop! Hehehe. Everyone enjoyed it. Even Dr. Cuenca. We even gopt a 24-hour merit from Dra Janet. Pasaya na ng pasaya ang buhay ko dito sa Metro. To brighten more my day during my last duty, I got an invitation from Dr. Welson Yap to join the Anesthesiology Residency in PGH in June 2009 after my boards. Wow. Can I ask for more? Thank you po LORD sa lahat ng Blessings.

Here are some more of the fotos from the event

Clerkship Recall

Today, I came across Mander's friendster account(a very close friend and colleague). I saw this folder showing 'Clerkship Reloaded'. When i was browsing the pictures, I came across one that really made me laugh and i didn't know it ever existed. It was a shot (shown above) showing a bunch of clerks sleeping and currently rotating in the Internal Medicine department of Ospital ng Maynila. Haha. 'Wasak" as we call it there. I remember those days. I couldn't figure how I survived it. It was one of a hell training ground. But hey, don't get me wrong. I learned a lot from that place. And I loved it there. If ever I'm asked if I would like to come back, I guess I would. Well in the future maybe. There are a lot of people in there that I miss so much. Not only Doctors but as well as our Manong's and Manang's. Even the people in the dietary who'd slip a dinner or lunch for me. Reminiscing....Hehe. Some of them (see below) had inspired most of us a lot. Well, I hope in seeing them soon. Mander dude, tnx for the pix. Hehe.
