The Diary of a Young Man

This day was a good day for me. At 8am, I woke up in a no class day. My father went to the orthodontist he knows while I wait in the house. By 9:30am, he called from the orthodontist’s office. My father wanted me to get into the clinic. I hasten my self to prepare for going there. It was a very hot morning that’s why I was perspioring a lot on the way there. I reached the clinic at 10:30am. My father was outside waiting for me. I was immediately greeted by the dentist and then settled me to the chair. She discussed some points with me on the things to be done during the bracing period. She had my teeth cleaned and also took pictures on my teeth and face prior to the bracimng. In the end, I pain a downpayment of:

P10,000!!!

Yes you heard that right. I paid that amount of money and it came from my own pocket. The dentist’s mentioned that the total expenditure for the braces both up and down is P39,000. All expenses for the cleansing and pictures were included. I left the clinic at 11:30am with my father. On the trip home, my father was blabbing on why the total amount is too big. I was seriously anoyed hearing it from him but due to blood relations I remained silent.

Anyway, I anticipate the braces tomorrow. I will be having my braces both up and down and I know it won’t be easy having braces. I have to be there in the clinic at 8am. I know tomorrow is a holiday but for them they don’t mind.I decided to have my braces both up and down tomorrow. I hope I would have a blue rubber band on my braces.

I spend the rest of my day using the internet and hoping that someone would buzz me. Unfortunately, the person I want to hear from was not around this day. I ate at 8pm. I decided to sleep at 10pm.

Good night!

I woke up at 5am and I reached school at 7am. The section B strudents occupied the half of room 601. We had our quiz during it but I got a fair grade. I expect an 85% above grade but who knows. The class ended at 10am. I rushed in the computer lab to edit our teaching plan. I successfully finished it 10:25am. After doing it, I ate at Jolibee. I bought order K1 with extra rice and water as drink. I returned to school at 11am. We had a class at 11am for Mr. Briones. He discussed the contents of the teaching plan. I was shocked that I and Kai were chosen to perform teaching plan in front of class. The other groups had thgeir representatives but some took some time before performing.

The class ended at 2pm. I went to the student’s lounge with Isasay, Pie and Ian. I ordered spaghettio worth 37 pesos and was satisfied with it. We went down to room 601 again to wait for Jezel. When Jezel arrived, she looked annoyed because of the bank teller. We shared some insights about our past lives and we had a lot of laughs during the conversation. We left school at 4pm. We ride the fort bus on the way to market market. I reached home at 5pm.

I cleaned my face and immediately logged in to friendster and yahoo messenger. I was disappointed because no message from my someone arrived. I decided to eat at5 7:45pm and will sleep at 10pm.

Good night!

I woke up at 9am. I took a bath and then I’d started doing the teaching plan and the pamphlet. I finished doing both at 12 noon. I took my lunch and after that I started doing the nursing care plan for self care deficit. I was done at 1pm and then I started typing my analysis and interpretation on self care deficit. I was not over doing it due to not having the definition for self care deficit. I was happy that I finished 2 out of 4 assignments within the afternoon. Kai got online. She is my partner in teaching plan and I sent him the outcome. She is now in charge with the printing. I started doing my assignment in 6th floor front. I was done at 5pm. I started reviewing for our quiz in N201 at Mrs. Celiz’ subject at 6pm. I was done at 8:30pm. I ate my yummy dinner at 9pm and you can expect me to sleep at 10pm.

Good night!

It had been 3 days since my last blog post here. Smart Bro had lost intenet connection for their subscribers due to enhancing internet connectivity. I had missed some valuable post these days and I blame it for smart bro.

I woke at 4am today. I reached schoo by taxi at 5:40am. The taxi driver was not knowing of the routes to be taken in the trip. He made me pay 120 pesos and I cannot do to lessen its cost because I’m almost late. We started our duty at 6am and I was assigned to take care for the baby in room 611B. The mother was kind but I do not know if the father is kind as well due to his very long sleep this day. I did newborn care very fast starting at 8:20am bathing the baby. At 8:30am, I did cord care, changed bassinet linen, taught health teachings and clamped the cord. I was done with everything at 1pm. I endorsed the patient to Ms. Liza and all was well. I almost left my stethoscope on the 6th floor but I took the courage to get it once again from ground to 6th floor. It was a tiring day. I left school with Ian, Jezel’s mother and Jezel. I reached home at 5pm and ate my snacks. I was happy that the internet had returned but a bit disappointed for its intermittent loss of internet connection. I cooked the rice at 7pm. My father returned from work at 8pm. He is drunk and I was a bit scary to talk to him. Now, I am waiting for 10pm for me to sleep.

Have a nice night!

Good night!

I woke at 6:15am. i did my preparations fast to not be late. Luckily, I got to school on time and I was not late unlike some of our classmates. We had our class with mam Celiz She discussed mostly on the surgery assessments and what to do during it. We were dismissed at 9:30am. I reviewed for our quiz in Mr. Lucas’ subject. At 1pm, we had our quiz and I get 91% which I felt bad still. I know the answers but the problem I got the wrong input once thge question was asked. Anyway, we were dismissed at 3:1pm. Group 1 had to wait for Mr. Briones. We watched “Dead Silence” which I am satisfactorily amazed at. I was not frighten because every scene is expected. I am into twisted horror plots rather than the usual storylines of murder and the end having a tone of, “its not over yet.” We were informed that Mr. Briones was not attending our make up class thus we left school at 5pm. I left school with Ian, Jezel, Jay and Issay. We got into the bus bwithout Issay. In the bus, most Global students were extremely annoying as if they did not care for most passengers there. I got home in a rainy night at 7pm. I ate my dinner at 8pm and decided to sleep at 10pm. I hope it won’t be that rainy the next day. We have no quiz tromorrow which is a good thing.

Good night!

I woke up at 6am. I reached school at 8am. I had a bad day inside the van because it has no aiur condition therefore I sweated a lot in the van. In the class of Mam Celiz, we reported on the 5 different drugs assigned to which I had contributed somehow on the information. The class ended at 10am. I reviewed partially for the quiz at 1pm about Family Care plan. It was 1pm, Mr. Lucas asked us to get 1/4 sheet of paper and then the quiz started. I got 92% in the quiz which is not bad. Anyway. At 4pm, we had our long class with Mr. Briones. I had passed my “Teaching plan” as well as the others. At 6:30pm, we had our quiz with Mrs. Dacuno,. I got a decent grade there I think. Anyway, we still got inside the class and proceed with the elcture. Mr. Briones’ class ended at 7:30pm. It was good that it ended that way. I left school with Jezel, Ian and Jay. We take the bus and it took us about 30 minutes till we get into our destinatiojn. I reached home at 9:30pm. I ate my dinner and noticed that when I palpated my skull it seems that there is bpart sunken. As I palpate it got to hurt more and more. I am a bit worried upon this deformity. I feel that there is blood in my brain. hemorrhage? I hope not. I will be sleeping at 11pm to be able to digest the food I ate at 10pm. Good night!

I woke up at 9am. After having my bath I immediately do my strategies of health teaching assignment. I received a group message stating that the teaching plan (our assignment) will be by partner. I asked Arra to be my partner and she agreed. We worked on the newborn bathing pamphlet. We finished doing it at 2:45pm. Arra had already printed the material when I recived another Group messge that the teaching plan should be done individually and ot by partner. I asked for confirmation and I called Leslie. She cleared to me that there was a definite misunderstanding and she read the “Individual” task as a partner task. She said her apologies which I accepted. Arra on the other hand was annoyed or irritated from the misunderstanding. I cannot blame her. I helped her in doing her own teaching plan that still revolves in the topic of “Newborn bathing.” I changed the contents but with similar insights compared to mine. I was over with her work at 7am. I reviewed for our quiz tomorrow in Family care plan and was done at 9:30pm. I will sleep at 10:30pm.

Good night!

I woke up at 4am and reached school at 5:30am. I had my duty with my classmates at 6am. It was a very busy day not only for me but for the rest of my groupmates. I had the chance to talk to the mother on her newborn care,. The duty ended at 2pm. I was devastated when I lost my BP apparatus. I shall not tell you the manner of its lost. I am still fortunate that I survived this encounter of my BP lost worth 1250 pesos. I returned home a bit depressed for I had also a little argument with a friend but I settled down.

I know everything will be well someday. I had to buy a new BP. I cannot believe it will reach to a point that I will buy another one. I had talked to my special someone at 7pm. I had also sent messages to Dra. Sagun about the costs of braces. I hope I can have my braces on the lower jaw by October this year.

I will be sleeping at 10:30pm.

Good night!

I woke up at 4am. I reached school at 5:30am. We started our duty at 6am. I was assigned on the baby on room 612C. I was anxious and happy at the same time. I was happy because I was the only student in the group to take charge on the care of an infant that day. I was anxious because of the future criticisms of the parents of the infant for me when I perspire profusely in doing bathing.

I bathe the baby at 9:35am. I was sweating a lot doing it. I am the only student nurse in the room and both parents noticed how I perspire a lot. There was a comedic scene when the mother of the infant ask her husband to wipe someone. The husband asked if he would wipe me off my sweat or the newborn. I was partially embarrassed but it is better than being ridiculed. Anyway, I was done bathing after 10 minutes. It is a good thing that other relatives arrived right after I am done with the bathing. I was saved from future embarrassment.

I also talked to one of my groupmates about something personal. I talked to her along with it and adviced things to make her feel comfortable and strong. I know she can do it. She is a strong woman.

We were dismissed at 2pm and I was doing good waiting for the grades we had on the previous rotation (Bangkal lying in duty). Mam DLS attended an immediate meeting at 3pm which pended our scheduled grade acknowledgment. At 5pm, the meeting was over and Mam DLS was ready for the group conference. I was not expecting a grade of 90.72 in her rotation. I was happy but a bit dismayed at the same time. I was happy because it was one of my grades in the duty period that were on the line of 9’s but dismayed because I was one of the bottom 5 of the group.

It is over now. I know that I did not performed excellently most on my job in the lying in clinic but I did well on all quizzes.

I returned home with Jezel and Ian with me. I reached home in a dark night of 7pm. I ate my dinner and fixed my self for tomorrow. I decided to sleep at 10pm.

I noticed that I gained weight of approximately 4 kilograms. It had influenced my sweating regulation since fat serve as an insulator but most studies had proven that fat had a little percentage of influence to cause diaphoresis. I am living the fatty life I had before but it is better than looking like a tooth pick.

Good night!

I received a text message that the duty is cancelled for tomorrow, (September 18). I was happy when I received that because I had difficult sleeping at 12 midnight. I slept at around 1am and woke up at 8am.

I just started the day chatting with Arra and the rest of the day spent using teh computer. By 10am, the packages from Canada arrived and I was eager to open both boxes. I opened the 2 boxes and pulled oput what’s inside by 1pm with the help of my siblings. Most of the things inside are clothing and canned goods. I had a difficult time thinking on where to put the things pulled out. I decided to put inside the clothing that were not significant at use and kitchen goods outside still.

Majority of the day is spent with thinking, listening ti love songs and everything else. I had created a video, “wakatte itahazu” music video out of boredom but sadly was pended due to failure in downloading the song.

I am expected to sleep at 9pm or 10pm because I will wake up at 4am the next day for our duty. I am expecting the continuation of our duty this week.

Good night!
