The [Whereabouts]

kanina, we weren't in school. we were in a baranggay in Bulacan, Bulacan for the completion of our Community Diagnosis. yeah, it's already late and perhaps the Community Participation of our class in partial fulfillment of the requirements in Community Health Nursing will be implemented this late summer. i am late. i arrived at 8.30am where supposedly i have to arrive at 8am. i sorta blame someone (but not really) for not preparing the food i will eat for lunch in the community. immediately affter i arrive at Bulacan, Bulacan, i searched for my classmetes especially mypartner. even if i am not feeling good for almost 3 days, still i go to the community because of my partner. she will have no assistance if i will leave and take a rest due to my medical condition. i was surprised when they told me, "ei, individual na daw para mabilis ung survey". the community survey (some kind of census) is made of 8-page questionnaire. it will take long to survey the remaining 400 pop...

i thought, it will be one of my last days on earth when i experienced chest pain. haha. yeah. what i experienced is indeed very different from ordianry signs and symptoms of asthma where i usually hyperventilate and experiences shortness of breath. it's my cardio that needs to be attended this time. i hate the way summer starts. the immediate shifting of environmental temperature and all. it affects my health status and my being. siguro, i need not to blame the environmental factor alone. i also received a handful of stress plus anger feelings where it increases my risk of having it again. i remember, it was the same month last year when i felt the same feeling. a feeling like dying. nasabi ko tuloy, "Lord, don't get me yet. i am not yet ready. 1 year na lang makakatapos na ako. hayaan niyo namang makatulong at mapasaya ko ang mga magulang ko". i am always living my day as if it's my last. but that moment changed it. i don't wanna die yet. i don't blame an...

i am not talking of the long sleeves brand. i am talking of my experiences in the hospital while being a student nurse. a lot of things made me happy while others made me cry. but this semester's experience is very much different. i have received a lot of compliments especially in the new departments and wards where i was assigned. it's a nice feeling that you see your patient's condition improving and that they appreciate your works is the bestamong all things. Let me talk about my patient in Orthopaedic department where we will hide in the name "Boy Ji". My patient is admitted to be toxic. Critical. the time that I saw my patient creates a sad feeling. i thought he is dying. At the age of three, he is confined at the hospital, malnourished, with high grade fever, annd with hip dislocation. in addition to this, he was also diagnosed of having Anemia (probably an Iron Deficiency type because he is malnourished) secondary to Acute Glomerulonephritis. I do not know ...

Ngayong experience ko muna nitong Sunday ang ikwento ko. Wag muna ung Friday. Di ko pa tapos isulat sa aking notebook ung entry para dun. eto, on the spot ko gagawin. Father's day ngayon. Nabati mo na ba si itay? batiin mu na sya. Para naman matuwa tapos ibigay mu na ung gift mo tsaka ung letter para naman makataba ng puso nya. Isang nakakainis na karanasan ang akingnaranasan ngayon. 1.30 am na ako natulog sabi ko pa makagising ng 5.00 am para maaga makapunta ng school. May Sunday class kasi ako. 6.30 na nung mapagtanto kong bumangon sa kama para simulan na ang ritual. ang mag-yoga. Sawang sawa na ako sa rutina ng buhay ko yun. kung di lang yun makabubuti para sa aking kalusugan eh titigilan ko ang kalokohang un. nagmamadali akong maligo at magbihis ng mapansin ko na di na kakayanin ng oras ko ang makapunta sa eskwela ng nasa oras. Dumating ako sa aking unibersidad ng 8.30 am. 30 minutos na akong late. nagdadasal na akong wag sana akong pinaglock-an ng pinto dahil sayang pa rin nam...

so far so good naman. walang ibang nangyari sa akin kundi ang maghikab at gumawa ng kalokohan. isa akong malukong bata sa eskwela. marahil siguro di ko talaga interes ang gusto kong pag-aralan. haha. ngayon pa ako sinumpong ng katamaran sa pag-aaral ng medisina kung kelan nasa ikatlong taon na ako. pero wala nang atrasan. hayaan mo nang gugulin ko pa ang halos dalawang taon para manatili at mag-aral ng mabuti sa isang unibersidad na inaasahang makakapasa ka sa board exam at magiging isang top natcher. Eto, unang dalawang araw nasa ospital ako para magduty. Night-shift ako kaya medyo masaya na malungkot kapag uwian na kasi mag-isa na lang ako. di ako masaya nuon kasi medyo problemado ako sa isang bagay na kalimutan na natin. nilibang ko ang aking sarili sa pa-aakyat baba sa ospital at pagpapalit ng damit dahil sa isang sterile area ako nagkapwesto. binili ko ang mga utos nila, inumin tubig, curls, at mais. pati na rin ang pancit canton ang noodles na may sabaw na pinabili ng aking clini...
