There's a girl who argued with her bf 'coz she asked a ring for her birthday...but her bf sent a talking doll instead. The girl refused to accept the doll, then she threw it away. The guy ran as fast as he could to save the doll but an approaching car hit him, then he died.

At the burial, the girl was crying. She grabbed the doll, then held it tight. The doll spoke, saying: "Will you marry me? Please get the ring in the doll's pocket. Hope you like it."

MORAL LESSON: (Especially for the girls) Don't be too materialistic. Period.

NOTE:  A forwarded SMS. It makes me touched everytime I read it from my phone.

Ang lamig na nga ng Christmas, lalo pang lumalamig kung kelan pang katapusan na. Brrr...

Dala pa ng kuya ko yung sasakyan...kaya kahit gusto kong umalis with my parents, di ako makaalis. Waaah! Bakit ngayon ka pa umulan?! Di na nga ako nakaalis kahapon eh...Grunt!

I wanna go...I wanna go...I wanna go... 

Yesterday afternoon, my brothers Duane and Donnie asked my mom to lend them 1,000 pesos for some food for Noche Buena...not to mention, the lechong baboy. At first, my mom had a doubt in giving them money because 1,000 pesos is too big for the lechon. But Duane insisted that she should lend them her money, and he reasoned out another food to buy--pizza.

My mom was thinking this, "Ang yabang ng mga 'to. Pa-lechon-lechon pa silang naiisip. Ang dami kaya nun. So ibig sabihin, pag may natira, yun ang ulam bukas? Nakakaumay naman yun. At may pizza pa. Ang dami talagang matitirang pagkain mamaya. Ang yayabang talaga..."

But after all, she gave in and she let them borrowed her money.

It was 5pm (I guess) when I was busy playing dress-up games via online. I kept on playing those games as if I'm already addicted. Hahaha! Girl thing! Anyway, I was focused on how to dress up my fairies, and then, I copied my finished masterpieces (Yay! Masterpieces talaga, ano?) by pressing print screen and editing some portions to the MS Paint. (As I've told yah before, it's a flash game...so it's hard to copy it thorugh right clicking.

I never noticed that I was at the front of my pc for 2 hours...until my mom screamed from downstairs. Plus, I've heard someone who is, I thought at first, a guest. So, I ignored it and instead, I continued playing dress up games. But my mom, continued to scream, called me in the upstairs...

I told myself, "Bisita? Natatamad akong bumaba. Sigurado akong ipakikilala na naman ako ni Mama dun..."

"Eonee...!!!"

"Yes?! Anu yun?!"

"Bumaba ka. Dumating si Papa mo!!!"

What?! My dad arrived from Saudi without informing us?! So I came down to see if my mom's telling the truth. And yeah, my dad arrived at home!!! I was surprised, especially on his attire. Mukha siyang reporter sa suot niya. After that, I gave him my welcome hug and told him, "Patawa ka talaga, Papa. Di ka man lang nagsasabi"

"Haaay naku," my mom said to us, "yang ama mo talaga. Nagloloko pa noon na baka walang ticket siyang makukuha para makauwi. Yun pala, pasikreto pala siyang uuwi rito." Then, she asked my dad, "Sino pala sumundo sa'yo. Ikaw lang ba?"

Then, my dad responded, "Sa totoo lang, sinundo ako nina Duane at Donnie sa Crossing."

"Aba, mga walang-hiya talaga 'tong mga lalaking 'to, di man lang ako sinabihan, Alam pala nilang darating ka. Kaya pala humihingi ng malaking pera sa 'kin...ipambibili daw nila ng litson. Yun pala humahanap ng palusot para sunduin ka nang wala akong kaalam-alam."

And I joined again to the discussion.

"Ako rin...di ko alam na darating ka dito. Di rin ako sinabihan. Ang daya talaga. E di sana napagkaisahan namin si Mama."

My dad laughed on what I've said...while my mom just stared at me as if she doesn't like to be the last one to know everything.

Ok, cut it out! It's no longer important whether how did they do that surprise to us. What the matters most is what is the most important gift for this Christmas season---to be with our loved ones. What a surprise! Thank You, Lord!!!

FIRST WEEK (December 3-7)

• Makinig sa endorsement kahit di ko assigned patient (malamang!)
• Huwag matakot na humarap at makipag-usap sa pasyente kahit anung mangyari. At siyempre, samahan ng napakandang ngiti kahit toxic na
• Mag-interview sa pasyente nang walang tinginan sa mahiwagang kodigo.
• Gumawa ng SOAPIE (na gustung-gusto ko...hehehe)
• Bantayang mabuti ang lahat ng ginagawa ng second year students pagdating sa pagsusulat ng v/s sa TPR record at graphic chart, at siyempre, sa lahat ng gagawin nilang assessment sa patient nila. At kahit anung mangyari, kailangang samahan ang mga yun at bawal iwanan mag-isa.
• Kayang-kaya ko palang magturo ng perineal care sa isang postpartum patient sa harap ng dalawang second year (Sana naman, alam nila kung saan ang mons pubis, ano...lalo na't pare-pareho kaming babae)
• Hangga't maaari, bawal magkamali sa charting (because it's a legal document...ouch...pinariringgan ko ba sarili ko?)
• Mag-alaga ng pasyenteng geriatric na may chronic renal disease pati na rin ang pediatric patient na may WOF seizure.
• Mga bagay-bagay na makikita habang sumasailalim sa EEG ang pasyente ko
• NGT feeding (kasama na rin yung assessing the whoosing sounds)
• Lahat ng paperworks, kailangang pagpuyatan (kaya nga 3 days akong walang tulog para lang diyan)
• Mag-analyze ng drugs (madalas akong nagkakaroon ng kulang sa specific indications of the drug)

SECOND WEEK (December 10-13)

• Mag-alaga ng postpartum patients, both cesarean and normal. (Ang cute ng babies! Pag may postpartum patients, laging baby girl ang nahahawakan ko. Swerte!) Kasama na dun yung pagkuha ng OB history and physical assessment related sa kanila
• Bawal maging bingi, lalo na sa harap ng pasyente dahil kahiya-hiya talaga
• Bawal maging nerbiyosa at ngarag dahil bukod sa nakaka-toxic ay nakakasindak pa ng pasyente (Kasi, sino bang nang-totoxic sa 'kin?!)
• Bawal ding makalimot na i-endorse ang pasyente kapag magbe-break
• Makipag-collaborate sa doctors at J.I.s
• Preparation and administration of meds (on time dapat)
• Oral suctioning
• Turning and positioning ng patient na may mataas na pain scale due to accident (At lalaki po siya, kaya sobrang bigat), pati na rin sa pasenteng nahihirapang huminga at may NGT pa.
• I-recall ang lahat ng thorax and lungs at cardiovascular assessment...dahil kailangan yun para sa patient na may pleural effusion
• Mag-explore kung ano ang ginagawa sa chest ultrasound
• Magtanggal ng IV heplock gamit ang aseptic technique
• Magpalit ng IV bottle (at kasama na ang pagreregulate doon)
• Mag-manage ng time kahit dalawa ang assigned patients at dalawa rin ang second year na subordinates ko (toxic)
• Makisama sa 4th year

Naapreciate ko ang comment ng C.I. namin (si Ma'am Cirujales) sa aming grupo. Nagustuhan niya raw ang pagiging assertive namin at marami daw sa amin ang may potential to be a leader. Nakakataba ng puso...dahil kahit sinasabi ko sa sarili ko ang mga kahinaan ko towards the whole weeks of duty, napatunayan namin na...kaya pala namin, whether andyan ang nagbabantay na 4th year sa amin o wala, kahit may 2nd year na tutulong sa TPR ng patient namin o wala, kahit na ma ibang mga C.I. na dumadalaw sa ward namin. Na-realize din namin na di dapat katakutan yung mga C.I. namin; I mean, I'm not saying that we should abuse our C.I.'s considerations to our group (and to the other groups as well). Sa halip na katakutan sila, dapat lang na di kami matakot na magtanong sa kana kung may doubt sa gagawin namin, dapat lapitan kapag kailangang-kailangan talaga, at magshare ng lahat ng natutunan namin sa kanya sa paraang di kami pressured. Kaya nga kahit inabot ako ng sama ng pakiramdam dala ng walang tunog at kain, kasama na yung pagbigat at pamamaga ng mga paa namin (lalo na yung mga girls) dahil sa napakagandang nurse's shoes namin, naging successful naman kami sa duty.

Lets take some quizzes...related to Christmas...

You Are an Angel

A truly giving soul, you understand the spirit of Christmas.

For the twelve days of Christmas, your true love will send you:

Twelve street musicians drumming Eleven carolers a-caroling Ten ice skaters a-leaping Nine ladies waltzing Eight goats a-milking Seven gingerbread men a-crumbling Six Santas a-hohohoing Five Golden Girls Four calling secret admirers Three French burlesque dancers Two bottles of whiskey And a crazy homeless person in an apple tree

You Are a Sentimental Gift Giver

Your gifts are warm, caring, and very personal. You know that it's the thought that counts... And you definitely put the most thought behind your gifts.

Inaasahan ko na talaga na mangyayari 'to...pero napakabilis ng pangyayari kaya nagtataka na 'ko. Kailan lang na ako'y masaya at humahanga sa'yo dahil umaangat ka na sa buhay mo. Kailan lang nang ako'y pinaaalahanan mo bago ako umuwi sa bahay ko. Ngayon, nalaman kong...basta, di ko masabi...basta bumabagabag sa isip ko: "Nasaan ka na ba?"

Pilit kong ikinukubli ang sarili ko sa saya at paglilibang. Nakikipagtawanan ako sa pinakamatalik kong kaibigan, sumasali ako sa class discussion, nagsusunog ako ng kilay dahil sa sunus-sunod na quizzes at unit exams, kumakain nang marami, nakikipagkwentuhan sa mga kaibigang matagal ko nang di nakikita, at pinipilit ang sarili na matulog kahit hindi ako makatulog. Pero bawat minuto na ginagawa ko yun, ikaw ang pumapasok sa isip ko. Dahil ngayon, hindi ko alam kung nasaan ka na. Nag-aalala ako para sa'yo. Hindi ko alam kung ok ka lang ba, kung kumakain ka ba nang maayos, kung may kasama kang tumutulong sa'yo habang wala ako sa tabi mo, at kung may bumabagabag sa isip mo.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit kailangan pang mangyari ito. Hanggang ngayon, palaisipan pa rin sa akin kung ano talaga ang pinagmulan ng lahat ng ito. I just wanna see you if you're fine...

...Heto ako...at nagbabalik!!! Woohoo!!! Kumusta na kayo, guys?! Tagal ko nang di nagpaparamdam dito (pati na rin sa Friendster account ko) dahil 2 araw akong tumutok sa Fluids and Electrolytes ni Sir Rey. Alam niyo naman ako, paranoid. Kaya ayun...

Mabuti naman at nakaraos ako sa topic niya kahit papaano. May natutunan ako sa kakaiba niyang paraan. Actually, may ibang prof din naman na magagaling magturo. Magkakaiba lang ng style. At hindi ko akalain na papasa ako sa dalawang quiz niya...dahil bago kami nag-quiz sa kanya, parang feeling ko, kulang pa yung inaral ko. Pero nang sinagutan ko na yung questions, ok lang pala. Haaay, kaya nga ang saya-saya ko. Hehehe.

Sinong di maiinis kung ikaw ba naman pagbintangan ng mga nawawalang gamit? Di bale sana kung may pruweba yung tao. Pero nakakainis kasi! Sariling kapatid, nambibintang...at nang-aangkin pa ng gamit na di naman kanya.

Is it right na pagbintangan ako ng nawawalang charger ng rechargeable battery kung di naman ako ang huling gumamit? And he insisted na ako DAW ang gumamit ng charger. Hello! At bakit ko itatago yung charger na yun?! Una sa lahat, di ako ang may-ari nun. Pangalawa, di lang ako ang gumagamit ng charger dahil kahit ako, hanap nang hanap sa charger na yun kagabi pa (dahil balak kong i-charge ng batter ko para sa mp3 player ko)...at alam niya yun (dahil yung eldest bro namin, dala yung sariling digicam niya dahil may pinuntahan sa La Union so malamang ginagamit niya rin yung charger thingy na yun). Pangatlo, wag niya akong pagbibintangan dahil wala siyang karapatan, lalo na't di yun kanya kundi sa panganay namin yun (kaya wag siyang mang-aangkin).

At ang kapal talaga ng mukha dahil yung extra triple A na battery ko, siya rin ang kumuha nang di nagpapaalam. Excuse me, those batteries are came from my own money! DAMN!!! At wag niya 'kong tititigan nang masama na parang kakainin ako dahil siya ang may pinakamalaking atraso sa aming lahat. Wala akong pakialam kung magwala siya sa paghahanap, pero wag lang niya 'kong kakantiin dahil masama ako pag nagsumpa ng isang tao...and I'll make sure na makakarating 'to sa Papa namin.

Hangga't maaari, ayokong magsalita nang masama sa kanya...dahil kapatid ko siya. But it seems that he doesn't have a respect to us all. What a burden! Palitan lang niya ugali niya, masaya na kaming lahat dito. Pero habang tumatanda, lalong tumitigas ang ulo. Kaya bato bato na lang sa langit, ang tamaan ay NAKARMA NA!!!

A handwriting personality quiz...

I took the " handwriting personality " quiz on gURL.com
		my handwriting style is... sophisticated scribbler Your handwriting reveals you as a thoughtful, intellectual type who avoids fake people and places where there's lots of noise and crowds. Read more... What does your handwriting say about you?

Eh sa naghihimagsik ang tiyan ko eh...pake ba nila?!?! Di ko mapigilan na masarapan sa fishballs at manggang hilaw. Kaya eto, nang pinalabas kami ni Sir Flores nang mga bandang 3pm, ayan, kumain ako nun.

Parang kaninang hapon lang eh nagdiscuss si Sir Flores ng isang alteration sa accessory organ (yung Hepa A virus chuva)...at nirelate pa niya yun sa SEE-foods. (He meant to say, street foods). Tapos, magsisipaguwian na lang, kumain pa 'ko ng SEE-foods kuno. Ayan, sa kalagitnaan ng paglantak sa manggang hilaw (sa tapat ng UERM hospital pa), napansin kong tatawid na si Sir Flores papunta sa puwesto namin. Aba siyempre, nagtago ako! (Kasama ang butihin kong kaibigan, si Angel) Nagtago ako sa gilid ng nakaparkeng van. Good thing, dumiretso siya sa paglalakad (pumasok ng ospital) at di niya 'ko nakita. Harhar!!!

Yun lang naman...hahaha...sa uulitin...

As long as I can tolerate the pain, I'll keep it all by myself.

And talking about pain, I thought I can make it (I mean, keeping it). But I was wrong. The more that I keep it, the more that I perceive it as if it is getting worse.

Most of my friends used to tell me that keeping my pain secretly won't help me to solve it. And I found them right...now that I've felt it. "Lalo lang sasama ang loob ko pag di ko sinabi ang tungkol dito." TRUE. So it's time to say something about it whenever I feel it.

So lucky talaga...kasi nakareceive ako ng good news galing sa aking butihing kaibigan na si Angel. Nakalagay sa kanyang text message sa akin kanina (habang may lakad kami ng mama at kuya ko): "Musta? I checked on our section and group assignment in RLE...I'm glad that we belong in the same section and group assignment in RLE...Section C - Group 15."

Yes! Magkaklase na nga kami, magkagrupo pa kami. Ang saya-saya talaga...although medyo malungkot pa rin dahil di namin kasama sina Marie, Karen, Raiza at Denise. Actually, I never prayed na mangyari ito...kasi baka ba bumaligtad. Mahirap na. Kaya I'm so blessed...lalo na't makakasama ko ulit si Angel...katulad nung nangyari last summer.

Isa pa, lucky ako dahil may mga kaibigan akong walang sawang sumusuporta at nagpapaalala sa 'kin...lalo na kapag may mga announcement galing sa school. Kaya ngayon, informed na informed ako kung anung gagawin bukas sa enrollment at sa orientation. Isa pa, hindi nila nakakalimutan na magpasalamat sa lahat ng tulong na ibinigay ko sa kanila. Mga tunay na kaibigan ko silang talaga.  Haaay...kaya nga di ko kakayanin kapag isa sa kanila, nawala sa 'kin. I love 'em all...

NOTE: Sa mga kabatch ko na nagbabasa nitong blog ko, hangga't di pa huli ang lahat, check this site: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/uerm_oasis2009/ . Andito lahat ng announcement tungkol sa gagawin ng batch natin for tomorrow.

I'm waiting for another Christmas to come...so, here, I posted a flash countdown. You may take a glance of it anytime you wish...just in case that you can't wait for the incoming season as well.
