The Diary of a Young Man

I woke up at 9am. It was a cold christmas day and I appreciated it. I took a bath. I wear a simple sando and my blue shorts. I received a text message from my special someone and it made me feel good in the morning. It was worth reading and remembring. For lunch, I ate the remaining chicken letson on our Noche Buena. I also consumed 1 whole leche flan. I was very indulged up to this time. I worried that I might get Diabetes Mellitus type 2 that’s why I stopped eating more. I spend my afternoon listening to my favorite songs and downloading selected youtube videos. I watched half of Batman in HBO and I got bored right after the half of the film. Currently, I am typing today’s blog post from boredom and wish christmas day would be merrier for me.

Have a good Christmas day!

It was a good day period!

I woke up at 9:30am. I had my bath at 10am. It was a routine activity and I am used to it very well. After my hygienic purposes, I spend my time listening to good emotional music of the ’90s. It was good to hear those again. I never liked some of those in my elementary years maybe my mind isn’t matured to understand yet. I had registered to unlitxt and did succeed. I had been sending SMS messages to my special someone but were interrupted by some needs. I am alone inside our house with a gray colored sky greeting the land. It is a perfect melancholic experience.

I believe It will be a boring, gloomy and stimulating sadness day. I hope I can make the best out of this cloudy day. I will be Mr. neutral this day. May you also have a worthy day celebrating it with utmost pride and perseverance.

Have a nice day!

On December 20th, christmas vacation started and I am excited to start a very nice vacation. We had a christmas party on the evening of December 19. It was fairly celebrated but I felt awkward somehow. I left the party at 10pm. The evidences of my doings in the party can be seen at my photo album in metropsyche. The following day was been occupied in secret terms. I shall not elaborate more on what happened to me on saturday but it was very memorable. On the sunday of December 21, I spend most of my time attending on a celebration of baptism as well spending my time with the one I love most.

I guess life is worth living if you know that you still have a purpose in life.

Have a nice day! Enjoy Christmas while it lasts

I woke up early in the morning. I prepared my things for school. I left the house at 6:15am. I reached school at 7am. There was a grand case presentation led by group 3. It started at 8am. The panel consists of Mam Tamayo, Mam Dacuno and mam Tadena. The group started presenting the whole case up to 9am. The question and answer portion began with chapter 1. Group 2 members asked significant questions concerning the contents of chapter 1. Group 3 was shaken and stressed out as questions were spoken one by one. The panel also asked questions regarding the format. It took30 minutes for the question and answer portion in chapter 1. Group 4 asked group 3 about the contents in chapter 2 and it lasted for 30 minutes as well. Group 1asked few questions and failed to do it more due to lack of time.

In the end, group 3 suffered a lot of dreadful questions from content to format. It is never easy to be first in a non familiar scenario. We had a quiz and I got 5 over 15. I really felt bad in the outcome because some questions are misleading and there was an item that required us to read the drug study of the case. At 3pm, I got over it.

At 1pm, we ate at MMC canteen and I have a coupon with me that automatically turn a 60 pesos combo meal into a 34 pesos meal. I indulged in that event. We left the canteen at 2pm. Group 1 then went to our grand case family setting. We donated used clothes which we no longer use. The siblings were contented with the donation we have for them. We stayed there till 3:30pm and we decided to go home at 4pm.

I was with Jezel, Ian and Jay while going to market! market! We reached the mall at 4:45pm. I called my “special someone” but my visit in her place was cancelled due to shop obligations. I went home tired and contented somehow. I reached home at 5pm and the gate was locked. I waited 20 more minutes then my 3rd brother came, roel. He quickly unlocked the gate and let me in.

Now, I am typing this blog while I am having a chat with my asawa! She is busy and while she is that busy I took the opportunity to type today’s blog. I am getting good in typing long posts anyway.

Have a nice day!

I was having a state of serenity when I woke up and I spend my preparations for duty doing things slowly. I woke up at 5am and left home at 6:15am. I got a cab at 6:20am and reached school at 6:35pm. It was a wreck of anxiety I’d experienced as I realized I am late in the taxi. I sprinted fastly after I paid my taxi fare and luckily made it in time before the service leaves. We reached at Metropsyche around 7am. We got inside the gymnasium for our practice doing our exercise in the morning. It was 8am when the actual exercise took place. There were more than 30 mentally challenged individuals present there. I was nervous doing the exercise in front of the crowd. We danced, “Buttercup” and “Macarena.” It was a fun filled activity that we enjoyed as well. I must admit that not all followed the steps smoothly. We were followed by the students of Global city Innovative college. They did a simpler exercise routine which the patients performed well. We had our coffee break at 8:15am to 8:45am. I spend my break eating some of my magic flakes crackers that was fully consumed within the break. I managed to organize all the data I’d copied from the patient’s chart into more understandable manner. I figured out what data I must retrieve and which one needs more attention. We performed our group psychotherapy at 9am. It was great having all of our patients in one big circle. Lovejoy and Ian led the programme. We had prepared a game. It is called, “Yeppo.” The patients will do hand movements in a certain lyric of a song. In the end, all did satisfactorily. We did not proceed to the other game because we were advised to begin our NPI. I talked to lola Josefina. She forgot my name again but as our conversation extended she did remembered my name well. I blushed when lola noticed how handsome all of the boys in our group. It did not last long because GCIC will be starting their grand socialization. I moved lola Josefina to the audience seats. I made her feel relaxed and appreciated. We watched how GCIC performed their grand socialization. It was well organized. I did noticed some flaws within the program but it is just a minor detail that can be easily improved. I enjoyed watching some male patients doing extra ordinary things during a few games. I did laugh and smiled in the entire programme. It was a sweet presentation and it ended well and memorable. I hope we will perform our grand socialization better than them. We had our lunch at 11:30am. I was the one who finished eating my lunch. My groupmates ask me why I eaten my lunch first? My answer is that I’m hungry. I finally arranged my data within the period completely. I am ready to get the data I needed at 1pm. We also discussed about our group case study. We choose to have Jonathan’s case as ward class. I was the only group member to be able to submit the “process recording” today. It will be bonus points for me. At 1pm, we copied data from our patient’s charts. This will be the last time we will be able to copy the data. I am relieved once I was done at 1:35pm. Jonathan’s chart data were copied by Issay, leslie and Jezel. Luckily, we finished copying it before 2pm. Mam Dacuno decided to dismiss us at 2pm. We left the school at 2:15pm and reached school at 3:00pm. We planned to visit our family in our grand case presentation. Their house was burned into ashes. We reached Pio Del Pilar at 4pm. We seen a tragedy. Most houses made by “MMDA gwapo team” were gone. We find our family under a simple roofed structure. It was crowded and untidy. There were angery civilians as we left the location. We visited Mam Tadena in the health center and she informed us more on the tragedy. We left at 4:30pm with group 2 inside the bus. At 4:45pm, Jezel was angered by Ian in a misunderstanding. I hope they fix things out. I reached home at 6:30pm. I drank milk because I have nothing to eat when I got home. It was a dismay when I realized my father will arrive late in the evening. We have no money to spend for tomorrow and I hope dad will find a way. I typed this blog post out of boredome and happiness. I was happy because I lived with my friends again this day. Have a nice day!

It has been a week and a half since my last blog post here. Internet had been not available the past 7 days due to antenna problems. I know, I have to rebate. It would definitely follow some other day. Anyway, I had a vbery busy duty day. I had been appointed as the leader of the metropsyche duty. I was a bit anxious at first when Mam Dacuno, our clinical instructor for that area announced that we will have a field trip in the “Correctional institute for women.” The thing that made me anxious was the program. The program could get a lot costly. We have to buy stuff for tokens of appreciation as well time to practice for intermission numbers.

Today, the program was a success and I talkled to one of the inmates. She told me about her life in drugs and she did shed a tear while telling it. I was touched about it and I cannot help but to comfort her. I was also the one assigned to do the health teaching in front on the group. It was a success. I spoke, “filipino” and all was well. Group 1 BSN 3 A was not alone in conducting the program because we were with Group 1 section B. It was a very happy event. The games were performed really well and we did laugh when the intermission number came.

I had done an intermission number in the beginning with Jezel. We sang, “Bakit ngayon ka lang,” by Ogie Alcasid. It was fun because Jezel’s height is short and to be able for us to share 1 microphone I have to lower myself. In the end, we gave our tokens of appreciation and we said opur farewells. Mam Jocelyn, the inmate assigned to me gave me a souvenir. It was a key chain. I appreciated it so much. It was great gift from a good friend. I was seriously sweating within the program but it did not matter anymore. I smiled at the world around me and I did not care anymore.

We also had a tour in NCMH. We got our shirts for the mnetropsyche facility and it costs us P180 each.  We will be using those on Monday during the exercise scene with the patients. Life is such a good thing to live!

We reached school at around 12 noon and we had our lunch break. At 1pm, we resumed our duty and continued with the “self awareness talk. I was done with the “self awareness talk” about my self. I talked on Monday and it made me cry somehow. I shall not tell anymore the details of my talk. We were done at 2:30pm. We left school a bit tired but pleased with the duty.

I had a lot of things to carry on the way home. I already got my Pediatric Nursing book by Wong that costs 1,200 pesos. I already purchased it on monday morning but now I have to get it in the book store. It was a heavy burden. I have a lot of things to bring home and with that book my trip was a horror.

I also bought a purple flower as well as 2 key chains. I liked those nobjects and those thingts cost 55 pesos all. I am planning to give the flower to one I love most. Anyway, I got home tired and a bit sleepy. I started playing love songs on my computer and it definitely soothes my souk. I am extremely happy that this day made me learn a lot of things. I had touched the lives of others and valued team work more than everything today. I hope iot will not be the last that we will be visiting the CIW. I have to know more about them the next time I visit there. I want to see more smiles from people who changed and deserve to be loved more.

I am loving being a nurse. I am convinced that I could be an effective psychiatric nurse someday in my profession. I cant wait for my first handling of a psyche patient.

Have a nice day !
