It's a Sticky, Sticky Night...

Because we're craving for some kakanin and we still don't have a tribute for our own food (Filipino food that is), we decided that for our theme last night we'll be a kakanin night. And because some people will come over (they'll be sleeping over because the call time for their medical mission is so early) we decided to bring lots of kakanin. Jops decided ot bring some pistachio ice cream (for Mam Barney I guess...)

 

Last night is one of my favorite Saturday night due to the foods that we brought. I'm always craving for the kamoteng kahoy na suman and good thing there's one. As well as ube halaya...the only thing missing is the kutsinta, which is the thing that I'm craving the most.

Anyways, we had a good night, no cases and all. I had another session with Jops regarding my moves to my love but I decided not to tell him my dilemma (the thing is I don't know if I'll still pursue it or not due to the fact that I'll be leaving soon and it might hurt her).

And I Hurt My Love

Weird! it's as if the destiny is toying me around. When I already told some people who I'm in love with feeling that person won't be around in my workplace anymore, I'll hear a news that they'll be returning...soon!

Anyways, I was surprised to see her visit the OR and looked for me. But I already have something to do after duty and so I decided to just be with her for just a minute or so. 

Yup! I decided to play DOTA first before her and when she and Ye saw me going home with my DOTA friends, they knew. They tried calling me and asked me to join them first but I can't..I have no money and Sir Ge would treat my fare.

I felt really bad considering that it's one of the chances that I may get to show her what I felt for her :( And so I decided to explain thru text what's on my mind (no I don't told her that I love her or something, more of why I didn't go back and join them)

Love and Career

Kamusta naman ang araw na ito...after my birthday confession the people in OR suddenly realized that I'm in love again and this time it's Mam Veni who guessed who am I having a crush on.

Anyways, I think it is already in my nature not to fool or to lie to anyone. Once I promised something, I am obligated to do what I promised and so the end result Mam Veni confirmed her hunches and I'm having second thoughts if what I did was the right one or not...hopefully it won't reach the ears of some talkative people, but I doubt that considering all the personalities of the people in my workplace.

Anyways, I end my day by scrubbing in a heaviest case: thoracotomy, I'm perfectly fine considering I'm the scrub nurse and the surgeon is one of the nicest TCVS surgeon out there. But the thing is our anesthesiologist is not. Fortunately enough I received a text message before all this happened bearing a good news and so anything bad thing that anesthesiologist may say won't affect me anymore. Actually I'm in a bliss, knowing that there's already a future in my career abroad. :)

Happy Birthday on a Black Saturday Night Duty

It's Black Saturday, I have a night duty and it is also my birthday! Unfortunately all Catholics are in the mourning state due to Jesus Christ's death and so I decided that I'll celebrate my birthday when the midnight strikes instead. Yup! I'm moving it on the 24th this year, for the Easter celebration.

Anyways, because it is a Saturday Night, Mam Barney and I decided that we will be having a Cake Galore Night. Initially, our plan is to celebrate my birthday with the cakes that we will bake each. "Surprise each other with the cake that you'll bake for me" should be the theme unfortunately we didn't anticipate that all supermarket will be closed on Friday so we didn't have any ingredients to work with and so we decided that we'll just bought some in Red Ribbon.

I arrived in OR and to my surprise, Jops, Sir Aldrin and Benj will be coming to celebrate my day with me, even if it is the night of Black Saturday. I'm really touched.

Good Friday and A Surprise

It's Good Friday and I'm the 6-2 HNOD today and good thing is I don't have a lot of case just one actually and it is really a minor one: laryngoscopy with biopsy and tracheostomy.

Unfortunately, all of my staff are senior staff and that means I cannot boss them around to do some stuff like making supplies, good thing I already anticipated it last night and I was able to do it with my 2-10 staff. The only thing left to do is the memo and the specimen bottle. And my staff all agreed to do the specimen bottle instead of typing the memos.

Anyways, because they knew that it is my birthday the following day, Sir Mario and Sir Jeff decided to have a little celebration by buying some pancit canton. Canton na lang daw dahil bawal ang karne as the traditions says.

Anyways, because of our little cold war, I don't know if Sir JA will go to work and will be the 2-10 HNOD or I will endorse to someone else. Around 2pm, he's still not around so Sir Ge decided to leave without me, which disappoints me because just after a few more minutes, Sir JA arrived and dismissed me early.
