I woke up at 5am and arrived at school at 7am. It is our N201 class with Dr. Bautista. We had a ten items quiz for the first 15 minutes and it happened that I got 8/10. Dr. Bautista just continued our lesson we had yesterday and after that is a film showing. We watched, "the kid" with leading star, Bruce Willis. I didn’t enjoyed the movie that much and was not laughing watching it aloud. It is a good movie if the basis for a good movie is its moral value. Classes were dismissed at 10am and we had no more class to follow so it’s my job to do my panoramic x-ray.
I commuted 45 minutes from Ayala, Makati to Pateros and when I’d reached my destination I had eaten at Greenwich for lunch. I waited for 1 hour for the dentist to arrive and when she arrived at 12:45pm, I was shocked that her dentistry clinic does not offer panoramic xrays. I decided to return to Guadalupe, Makati to have my panoramic xrays done at Aguinaldo dental clinic. I reached there by 1:15pm and when I got inside, the rain poured heavily. I paid 500 pesos for the panoramic xray and most of the staff are not friendly looking at all. I personally believe they are acting like robots. After 15 minutes, I received my panoramic xray and then left the clinic.
It is still raining hard when I’d left the clinic and I have no umbrella because I left it in school. I waited till the rain stopped but it didn’t. It was 1:45pm that I decided to run through the rain to ride a jeepney. I was wet all over and get into a jeep which I believed will pass at market! market! but I was wrong and left the jeepney before I would be lost. At last, I spotted the right jeepney and I reached the mall after 30 minutes.
I was tired and I felt my head start to hurt so much. I still continued my agenda. I got inside the mall to pee and left immediately after that. I rode a tricycle that will be going to my dentist’s location and when I reached her place, she was not there. Her assistant told me she is in a funeral and she will return tomorrow. I gave her my panoramic xray and told that I will be calling tomorrow. I left the clinic with a pain throbbing in my head. It is still raining mildly and reached home at 3pm.
When I returned home, I fixed my self. At 3:20pm, I had my 2×2 pictures done for the BSN 3rd year ID. I also find someone to fix my wrist watch that I had for about a year now. The sum total of my expenses was P120. I reached home weary, tired and ready to collapse but I stopped thinking negative and stayed in place.
I started reviewing for our quiz by 4:15 pm and it is about something in psychopathology. My head hurts so much that I wanted to scream but I controlled my self well. I was trained to handle situations like this because there’s worst to come. I read and understood an 89 slide, powerpoint presentation with fair font size. I also reviewed for the quiz in "strategies for health teaching" tomorrow with font size=12, times new roman, single spacing and has 4 pages. I felt my tears started to flow on my eyes as pain cannot be tolerated anymore. I hold a bottle of mineral water and squeezed it with my head bowing in pain. I still proceed because I cannot let pain interfere with myacademic life. I did not take a pain killer (analgesics, mefenamic acids, paracetamols, cox-2 drugs) because it is no longer effective anymore.
I finished reviewing at 6pm and the pain gradually fell. At 7:00pm, I prepared dinner by contributing rice on the table by cooking it on the stove. I ate at 8:00pm. I felt weary still and when I tried to contact my special someone to share the experience I had earlier, the phone cannot be reached. One question popped immediately in my mind is, "why?"
I am writing this blog entry with eyes tired and fingers trembling. Pain in the head starting to come back but not as intense as before. Wish me good health because I need it.
