Dilemma is up about.
Too many tangles to iron out.

Faith shall decide fate.

*************

We had our data collection at the municipality of Pateros today for our N199 research paper about children's immunization. Because I loathe taking ordinary (no air-conditioning system) buses which travels through EDSA and SLEX *Read: Smoke=Death*, I opted to bring our family car.

Bringing it was not a big deal because I had brought it to Pateros before. Also, since this day was a weekend, not much vehicles were out in the metro jungle. So, it was relatively a less "dangerous" ordeal.

There was no problem whatsoever with my driving process.

BUT, if there was, I would have enjoyed free accommodations on a JAIL CELL.

It was not until I was about to go home from UP Manila (After doing data collection stuff in Pateros, we went straight to Manila because we had to meet with my other classmates for our other "responsibilities" *Read: Toxicity*) did I realize that I was driving illegally!

I did not have a license!

My driver's license was nowhere to be found among the rubbles of my oh so organized wallet! It was not there! As in! You see, I keep all my ID stuff including my license on the card slot of my wallet. However, since my wallet is so dilapidated already, there was a great chance that it fell off somewhere.

I was very nervous as I was driving home because if I get caught, I'd be dead! Waaahh!

Thank God! I was able maintain proper street decorum at that time. I was able to arrive home safely.

I am still a free man!

Waaahhh!!!

I failed to realize that I left my license in my room.

So noobish...

Nag-absent ako sa N199 kahapon para tapusin na ang assessment ko for community. May gawd! Kahit focused assessment na ang gingawa ko ay ang tagal ko pa rin gawin. Di ko na tuloy malaman kung dahil na un sa kabagalan ko o dahil talagang madadaldal ang patient ko.

 

Do not get me wrong na di ko gusto ang madaldal na patient, sa totoo lang, gusto ko nga ung madaldal para mas marami syang nasasabing info na maaaring magamit for my assessment. At isa na rin kasing gauge ang kadaldalan if I have already established rapport with them already. Nag-stay ako sa Pateros until late in the afternoon pero di ko pa rin tapos ang assessment ko!

 

Sheet naman! Naiinis talaga ako sa assessment ng family! Sobrang ang haaaaabbbbbaaaa!!!! It is so tedious talaga. Sobrang nakakangarag. Even a talkative person like me got tired for talking for a very very long time. Grrr!

 

Anyway, natapos ko na naman ang aking assessment kaninang umaga. And I was on time for the call time for us to leave for our class sa afternoon. Yey!

 

Gustong gusto ko talaga ang two families na nakuha ko. Sobrang bait nila sa akin. SOBRA! As in! Compliant pa. At sobra nilang inaappreciate lahat ng gingawa ko for them! Kahit natotoxic ako ay nacocompensate naman ng treatment nila for me ang katoxican ko sa buhay!

 

Sila so far ang pinaka-mabait na families na naging patient ko sa community!

 

***************

 

We had a test for N123 kanina.

 

Sheet! Ang hirap!

Madali lang sana un kung nag-aral ako.

 

Sheet!

Hindi nanaman ako nag-aral. Kahit nga basa, I was not able to do because this of this "O so glorious community"! Waaaahhhh!

 

Sheet! Feel ko ay sobrang baba nanaman ako sa test na un.

 

Well… Whats new, anyway?

 

Speaking of exam, ung first exam namin on such subject din ay binalik na. But then, the result was not at all inspiring. Sheet! Sobrang sabit ang score ko sa passing! Waaaaahhh! So stupid of me!

 

**************

 

Nag-photo and vid shoot kami kanina for our instructional vid for our community.

 

For the photoshoot, I was the patient that had a cardiovascular arrest. Kasi, I was a drunkard and a heavy smoker daw so ayun, patay! Sobrang bangag! Haha!

 

And for vid shoot, I was still the patient and Iaii was the nurse who is taking my blood pressure. Nabugbog kaya ung kamay ko. Kumusta naman? Ilang ulit kaya ung takes dun! Haha!

 

**************

 

I have not been late for our official community duty! Yey! Such an accomplishment for me! Bwahaha!

 

**************

 

Three days down.

 

Four more glorious days to go!

 

**************

And sheet, bakit ito ang gingawa ko??

Where are the chronically ill people in Pateros?
Where???
Seriously.

It had been a very tiring day for me and my groupmates.
Sheet!
Haggard! Haggard!

Why in the world does community health nursing have to be this complicated?
Until now, I still do not get the point of all these hardships just to find a "qualified" patient!

God! Please help us for the "divine" and "glorious" community health nursing week ahead!
The next seven days will be a totally "heavenly" experience for us.

I just hope, the heavens do not become too fond of us and permanently adopt us just yet.

Seven days. Seven. 7.
