Flashbacks of Enchanted Aprils

I am a little bummed about spending a humid, sweltering April, which is perfect for beach or any outing for that matter, by going on duty in a hospital. Oh well. I am constantly reminding myself that it is to early to whine.



So I was looking at some pictures and I realized that I was having so much fun this time of year from three years back till last year



2008: Dumaguete City weekend, Casaroro Falls, Forest Camp and Balinsasayao Lake

I fell in love with the quaint, lovely, peaceful town with great food. Plus nature sites that are not so far to travel to.

Siquijor was very worth it experience! Undiscovered and totally serene. Plus I was sporting my mohawk!



2007: Kawasan Falls. The best outing ever because it set the bar high for our trips. Very spontaneous, wild, loud with no inhibitions. Open talk at 10 am, chugging beer, tequila and brandy then Mock war at 2 am. I love it! I still chuckle at the sight of our pictures.



2006: Boljoon. This was also not planned since our Camotes trip was cancelled. Since Cha moves heaven and earth to have her three days off she was not gonna settle for the city. Melben and Cezan then invited Cha and I for an overnight stay at a three star hotel with a fish sanctuary. Then road trip in the South. It didn't need a lot of people to have so much fun.

2005: Bantayan. With 3S party people. Great people I spent lots of fun times during MedTech internship. Karaoke, partying, drinking and getting drunk, frolicking under the heat of the sun it was so much fun and being able to visit that island before everybody else did.



Sigh. I'll definitely have a getaway next year. I am saving for that already. Now back to my new life again tomorrow.

New Life

This post is way overdue. I've started my internship over 15 days ago. Something that I want to get over with but at the same time I am dreading.  I'll make this short. All I can say is what a test of determination and will power to survive the grueling days of physical exertion, emotional stability which include making amends and adjusting to mood swings of residents. So far rotating in Pediatrics in the Emergency Room and Out patient department taught me patience and cool composure. Seriously I am not that intimidated with kids anymore and I am really improving on not panicking and avoiding anxiety.

The first fifteen days have been stressful not due to the patients or the long hours but dealing with the fluctuating moods of some residents with an attitude problem.

One great thing when we ended our rotation in CVGH, was all of our group passed the exam for Pediatrics ER. Rock on!

Tomorrow, we will be invading Sotto and at the same timeI am looking forward and excited but also scared slight considering the hospital's bed capacity. My goal for the next fifteen days is enjoy and learn, chill out a bit because I do not have paperworks and have a successful IV insertion!

I have lots of ideas for post but I can't seem to find time. Yeah having two Sundays half day should have been ample but I chose to watch movies and sleep instead.
