Conti's Mango Bravo

I have this tendency to become extremely attached with my patients. Because you get to know them, you give them your trust and in return, they give theirs. You become closer as time passes. You have to check on them every once in a while to see how they’ve been. You do all their errands and papers. You do everything because you care for them and you want them to get well, to leave the hospital improved. “Patibayan ng loob” is not really easy for me. It was proven earlier today, when I heard the bad news regarding my old patient. One that I became really close with. One that I call “daddy”. I can’t control the sadness inside me. I can never stand seeing other people cry. It’s an innate characteristic. Hospital life isn’t easy. It’s like your own telenovela, except it’s real and sometimes you can not controll the things happening around you. You just have to face and accept it. Because you know you’ve done your job and you know your patients fought a good fight. May you rest in peace, Daddy TAF. We will miss you.

"He's not perfect. You aren't either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn't going to quote poetry, he's not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don't hurt him, don't change him, and don't expect for more than he can give. Don't analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he's not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don't exist, but there's always one guy that is perfect for you." -Bob Marley

I'm not as vain as I was before. Hahaha

Whenever a friend asks me "what's up?", my usual response would be "nothing's up, what do you wanna know? I wake up, I take a bath, go to USTH, go home, sleep, wake up, go take a bath, go to USTH, then go home, and the cycle repeats over and over."

But I'm not complaining, no sir. I just realized that I became distant to most people and to most of my usual routines. And to be honest, I kinda miss it.

You see, nothing's really up, aside from the events happening inside the hospital of course. I vow never to disclose any of my patients' cases online. Because my life outside is different from my life inside the hospital.

There I go again, jumping from one topic to another. Typical me. But hey, at least some things never change. Yay.

Staple in every medical junior intern's bag.

Because it has been eons ago since I last posted an entry. Been really busy with my internship. And Internal Medicine is really toxic. I miss blogging. I really do.

Mama: "Pi paabot naman ng tuwalya." Me: "Alin po dito?" Mama: "Yung green na nakalatag sa sofa" Huhuhuhuhu T__________T

Sometimes you just have to view things on a different perspective.

Kanina, kausap ko yung isang kaibigan ko: Friend: Palagi ako nagdadasal na sana mahanap ko na yung taong tanggap ako mula ulo hanggang paa. Me: Dadating din yan, baka hindi pa ngayon yung tamang time talaga. Friend: Yun nga sinasabi ko baka wala pa sa time. Pero ano pagkakaiba ko sa mga tao sa paligid ko? Bakit ako lang ang wala pa sa tamang oras? Naiisip ko rin yun siyempre. Me: Sigurado ka bang ikaw lang single? Maraming tao yung nagaantay rin nung para sa kanila hindi lang ikaw. Ang problema kasi, hinahanap mo. Hindi ganon. Parang nawawalang gamit lang din yan eh. The more na hinahanap, the more na hindi nakikita. O baka naman nandyan na sa tabi mo pero nakasarado isip mo dahil may listahan ka ng gusto mo sa isang tao. Masyado kang abala kakahanap nung taong kagaya nung gusto mo. Pero paano kung nandiyan na pala? Hindi kasi ganon yun eh. Walang pinipiling tao. Dahil hindi lang naman nakabatay sa pisikal na characteristics. Mararamdaman mo kung mararamdaman mo.

You, beach!
