NCMH

Before being a nursing student, what I feel about people with mental illness was just plain sympathy. It's different from what i feel right now. What I have in heart is pure EMPATHY. Put yourself in what they are experiencing and you would surely understand them.

Part of our related learning experience is being exposed in different areas, one of which is in a mental hospital. The past two weeks, we've spent our duty hours giving care to patients with mental illness. Hearing the stories behind their present condition melt my heart. What we could only do is assist in their rehabilitation and hope that they would soon recover. Prayers, apart from nursing care is one of those thing that we could do.

After 6 days, our rotation in the National Center for Mental Health has come to an end. I am glad that we survived the tons of requirements needed and we don't have to wake up 3am in the morning just not to be late. But, part of me is sad because we'll be leaving behind people that had entered our heart even for a short period of time. They had been part of our lives and we will surely miss them. Our memories with them will continue to live in my heart.

Forbid me

I couldn't be where I want to be.
I couldn't be with who I want to be.
I couldn't fathom this unwanted feeling.
I still couldn't believe I fell in Love with you.

You, whom I care the most.
You, whom I treasure like a priceless diamond.
You, who has the same dazzling beauty as me.
You, who has the same blood as me.
You! Yes, you my dear brother.
I wanna say, I Love You.

Sa aking KASAL

May napanuod akong wedding...the ambiance is so romantic and their exchange of vows were just utterly full of love.



It's a beach wedding. Well, kung ako ang tatanungin mas maganda pa ring ikasal sa tahanan ni God. Pero hindi naman sa kung saang lugar ka ikinasal nasusukat ang halaga ng isang kasal. Masa maganda pa ring nagmamahalan ang bride and groom and they are willing to face the life they're going to enter.'Ika nga ng mga matatanda, "Ang kasal ay hindi parang kanin na isusubo at kapag napaso ay iluluwa." Tama? Tama!

Anyway tutal usapang kasal na rin 'tong topic e sasagutin ko na yung matagal ng question sakin ng isa kong friend, "Anong dream wedding mo?"

Ano nga ba? Well, ang gusto kong wedding ay masyadong grandiose and expensive. Hindi naman sa ambisyosa ako masyado noh it's just that for me once in a lifetime lang akong ikakasal and i want it to be memorable. Ang gusto ko kasi mala fairytale with the touch of medieval period. The colors are royal gold, royal blue, and silver. The bridal bouquet must be composed of three color of roses...red, pink, and white. Bongga din dapat ang singers... hehehe... The bridal gown's color must be pale white with a touch of dark pink. Kabligtaran naman nito ang reception, gusto ko simple lang.

Ikaw? Anong dream wedding mo??

This week

Dami nagyari sakin nitong week na ito. Bonggang bonggang recitation. I tried hard kaya not to be visible to my prof's eyes, pero kakaiwas kaw pa rin papansinin nila.

Hindi ko alam kung matutuwa o maiinis ako sa prof ko nung Thursday. Biruin mong patayuin ang beauty ko, buti nalang hindi lang ako mag-isa...marami kami.. BOOM! Bakit ba kasi sa lahat ng kakalimutan reproductive system pa ng female... e meron naman ako nun. Haha :)) Good thing nakasagot ako sa next question niya. Pero idol ko yung prof na yun, ang galing magturo e. Parang walking book lang. Saan kaya naka-store lahat ng alam nun? Hindi kaya sumabog utak niya sa sobrang dami niyang alam?

Nung Friday, nagulantang din ang beauty ko. May subject kasi akong speech isa pa sa mga minor subject ko. Bakit ako nagulantang? Bigla akong tinawag ni Mr. Speech, "Ms. Bajado, give a recap of what we had discussed last meeting." Palpitation... nag-ta-tachycardia na ko. Hello? Nung mga panahon yatang yun e busy ako sa kakatext. haha ..isang mabuting estudyante. "Sir anong ire-recap ko?" tapos bigla kong naalala, report ko pala yun... nyahaha shunga. Buti nalang alam ko, pero teka di pa pala ako safe nun kasi bigla nalang bumanat ng question si sir. Uber! kahit aircon yung room, diaphoretic na ako. Siya rin naman sumagot ng tanong niya haha.. loko. Nung sinabi niyang, "you may sit down." napa- OH MY GOTH talaga ako. Wew!

Nung isang araw nakita nanaman ako nung clinical coordinator namin. Ewan ko ba kung anong nakain nun at favorite akong asarin. Favorite niya akong tawaging OR nurse. Ini-endorse pa ako sa ibang C.I. kaya kahit ano talagang tago ko napapansin nila ako. Pumunta kasi ako sa office niya nun para tignan ang grade ko. Tatlo kami nun, ako unang nagtanong pero hinuli talaga niya ako. "Wow, OR nurse talaga," sabi niya nung nakita niya grade ko sa rotation namin sa OR. Pasaway. No comment nalang ako.

Yay, right now tinatamad na naman akong mag-aral. haha pasawy na bata talaga. Pero kelangan kong pilitin ang sarili ko kaya 'till here nalang muna mga dudes.

Toodles!

Reminiscing

Goodbye Lullabies,
Goodbye lollipops,
Goodbye tantrums,
Goodbye sweet innocent little nudges,
Goodbye my cute whining…

As I enter another chapter of my life.

In this another humble beginning, I learned to make funny infamous jokes and laugh amongst those familiar faces. I learned to mingle and have bunch of friends as many as I can. I learned to stumble and cry over a guy with a cute boyish grin. I had been once obsessed with a simply irresistible man. During those times, academic books and novels file up in my desk.

Responsibilities comes with these changes. With lil’ mistakes, I continually grow. With the guidance from the oldies, life wouldn’t be that hard, not that bad at all.

I looked over my bunch of baby things, though time pass by easily the memories I once have would never fade.
