My Lakbayan grade is F! How much of the Philippines have you visited? Find out at Lakbayan! Created by Eugene Villar.:: Thursday, May 29, 2008 :: it's all about Luke
So I worked last night and then just had about only 2 hours of sleep so far since.. I am so exhausted.. I had to look after Luke today and he wasnt very cooperative - he'd only sleep for about half an hour each time.. For the most part he'd be playing, rolling here and there for atleast 2 hours straight - he's just gotten way too active and he moves so fast that he's bound to fall off the bed if i dont keep a close eye on him.. he doesnt wanna stay in his crib and he gets annoyed if he stays in his walker for long - he just wants to roll in bed... he doesnt even want to stay in his high chair or rocker or swing or exersaucer anymore... Im beginning to think that my son has a bad habit of getting sick of his toys way too fast... not good, especially for someone his age! Im beginning to run out of ideas of things to get him..
*sigh* anyways, since Luke wouldnt sleep for the most part today I decided to go to the mall with him and ran some errands for his baptism.. The baptism is getting closer and I dont think Im halfway near done organizing it and putting things together.. we are also celebrating my husband's birthday on the same day so its a double celebration.. It's so hectic and stressful! I cant wait till this is all over! :: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 :: life is not fair
I was driving on my way home from work this am when I passed by a gas station and was shocked to see that it's now $1.29/L!! It was $1.27/L yesterday.. 4 yrs ago I could have a full tank with $60 but today my full tank was a painful $90!! It has gone up way tooooo fast these past couple of days!! F*ck! it is totally ridiculous! nothing is cheap these days.... the cost of living is fastly getting a lot more expesive, but the pay cheques for most people are still the same - definitely not fair! *hmph!*

Luke has turned 7 months old yesterday.. *yey!*
I decided to visit TWH today to visit my co-workers and at the same time drop off the baptismal invitations.. I must admit, I think I actually missed working for a moment and had imagined myself working for a bit... The adrenaline rush... the code blues... But after that short imagination, I came back to reality and realized that I dont really miss work that much, LOL! Ive been so relaxed at home for a couple of months now that the thought of code-blues caused to me to palpitate and puke! LOL! Anyways, the visit was fun, it was quite a reminiscing moment, especially when I sat in the ACU, watched the cardiac monitor and listened to it alarm a couple of times, LOL! When I was still working, I used to hate watching it and I would always pray that no one would Vtach or Vfib in my shift, LOL! I could still remember how it felt - I was working one day before where in I had a patient who would constantly Vtach right in front of my eyes - and I was pregnant at that time... Up till this day, Im still quite amazed that I did not go into labor even after the adrenaline that I had the whole day that day! I also saw the white board where the doctors' pagers are written... I used to always pray that the doctor that I was going to be working with, especially on nights, knew what he/she was doing... OMG! I would never forget working with this particular resident who didnt even know how to deal with my patient who had elevated white blood cells and had to seek advice from the on-call ICU doctor... LOL! I hope he knows how to deal with it now coz he's probably a senior resident by this time... *sigh* fun! fun! exciting yet scary.. LOL! do i wanna do those again?......? maybe.... maybe not.... we'll see.... I've got 5 more months to think about it ^_^ :: Friday, May 23, 2008 :: its just one of those days/nights
i checked it, it wasnt a full moon last night.. but somehow it felt like it to me..
i worked last night.. for some reason i was just not the "usual organized" person that i used too since i started the shift... but i still managed to do all my work in a reasonable time.. i was done by 2am so i decided to go for my break... i tried to take a nap till 5am.. i couldnt actually for the most part, i didnt get any sleep until maybe 4am and i kept waking up feeling that the portable phone that i had beside me kept ringing.. at one time, i actually caught myself holding the phone close to my ears, LOL! I decided to get up at 4:45am to give me enough time to freshen up and actually wake up since the doctor was supposed to come in at 5am.. i was the RN in charged so I had to be totally awake when i face the doctor, LOL! Anyways, I decided to start my work again at 5:30am on the 2nd flr... I took all the blood sugars, gave out the meds, did all the vital signs and did the in/out cath that i was supposed to.. I was done in a reasonable time.. Just when I was ready to start my work on the main floor, I was wrapping up everything on the 2nd floor when I realized that I was missing the collection of keys for the 2nd floor... Oh no! I might have locked it in the Medication Room!! I probably did becoz I couldnt find them anywhere! *damn!* At some point, I was relieved that I had already completed my work on that floor before this had happened - but still, I knew I was in a big trouble... I didnt let it bother me, atleast in the meantime... I continued my work on the main floor... Again, everything was going smoothly.. I was done at 7:15am and decided to just relax and get my things ready.. But oh noh! One of the patients fell on the floor @ 7:20am!! great! ofcourse i was so thrilled to deal with these things during the last minutes of my shift!!! I had to start a head-injury routine! Patient was fine, so I was done by 7:30 exactly! I was so ready to go home! I was already in my car when I realized that the portable phone and the "missing keys" where in my chest-pocket! i had to go back in to return these... oh boy! my mind was just all over the place last night!! im glad that with all these, i still managed to get home safely, LOL! :: Monday, May 19, 2008 :: Im fuming!!
My husband was simply annoying me the whole day today!
I knew that he was in a bad mood since this morning becoz he wasnt talking to me about anything at all... I asked why and whatever it was that's bothering him and he said he didnt know.. it's just one of those days i guess... and i completely understand that becoz we all get that every once in awhile.. so i just let him be, i tried not to annoy him in anyway - i let him had his own space while i had my own... kept my distance from him as much as I could.. And then just this evening, he was trying to put our baby to sleep.. He was looking for the pacifier but could not find it.. and so he asked me where it was... the question was not at all a problem - but the manner of asking totally ticked me off!! why asked in an angry manner?? In the first place, I didnt even have the pacifier - it was sitting beside him! Everything would have been ok.. But the thing that really bothers me is that - when you're in a bad mood, would you pls just keep it to yourself and dont lash out on anyone who's not doing anything wrong to you at all!! It really ticks me off!!! and it doesnt help having a back-firing reflex! So, at the end of the day - he's not the only one in a bad mood! :: Wednesday, May 14, 2008 :: Good Bye Sayesha
The Davids are just too strong, i think most especially among the ladies, LOL! But in fairness,Sayesha sings better than David Archuleta, atleast that's what I think... But she had to go becoz there's just going to be one winner in this competition... David Archuleta can sing, he does have a good voice.. but i find that he's voice is better only with slow, melodic, ballad-like music.. He starts to sound crap when he starts to sing pop-like music, LOL! David Cook, on the other hand, has really impressed everyone with his creativity and originality.. Im not a big rocker fun but I think he's really done a good job.. So next week, its David Archuleta vs David Cook - the grand finale! I love David Archuleta but I think David Cook is going to get it! :: Sunday, May 11, 2008 :: Mother's Day Sched is really hectic this weekend... will blog soon... In the mean time, just wanna wish Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!
:: Thursday, May 08, 2008 :: Good Babies = Bad Adults? Im working tomorrow night... I dont feel like working... I just wanna rest and relax at home... I was really hoping to get some rest while Mon's parents are away in Pennsylvania for a few days but I dont think I got any.. I dont think I've done much things at home but it felt like my schedule had been hectic even while my inlaws are away... Oh well, I dont think I'd be getting any rest anytime soon coz we're expecting them to be back here in Toronto by tomorrow... and tomorrow, like what i said, im working... On saturday we got invited to have lunch at Tito Freddie's house and then dinner at Tita Harry's house. And then on Sunday Mon's family and mine are having lunch together, probably at Starwalk Buffet... and then Sunday night... hmm... we'll probably just hang out in Woodbridge... Oh wait! I almst forgot, Im supposed to attend a good-bye party at the hospital for Trish... (Too much eating!! Im so overwhelmed! My diet is doomed, again!) We (mon and I) alone usually never get this much invitation for lunch/dinner unless his parents are around, LOL! And then on Monday my inlaws are leaving for LA for a few days and then head back to Manila... We're not expecting them to be back in Toronto again until November or something.... Anyways.... My boys are sleeping and I just happened to glance at Luke a few seconds ago and i got reminded by what a friend of mine had told me about him.. It must be a superstitious belief, but Im not sure.. it comes into my mind every now and then... and it makes me wonder...? I am just thankful that Luke is such a GOOD baby.. He doesnt cry as much as the other babies and Im not kidding!! When he wakes up in the morning, he never cries, but he always smiles! He doesnt cry when there are strangers around him or strangers holding him.. As a matter of fact, he is easily amused even by strangers! He is not a difficult baby to look after becoz he doesnt get cranky too often.. He will only get cranky when he's too sleepy and he wants you to put him to bed or when he's very hungry.. He is really such an angel.. At first I thought that maybe I was just being biased becoz Im his mom.. But EVERYONE who sees and observes him says so themselves! my friend told me that good babies, usually, are exact opposites when they're adults.. He even laughingly told me that Luke is going to cause me tremendous headache in the future becoz he's such a good baby.. It's probably not true... although he's not the only one who told me that... I was a very stubborn and naughty child but I think Im a nice person/adult (LOL! now, that's bias!).. My husband was worst than me when he was a child but I think he's a nice person/adult now, I think, LOL!...But whatever, i think that belief is just a blah... I think the character of a child depends more on the up-bringing and the environment... I hope Luke remains good all thorugh out.. and I will try my best, ofcourse, to give him the love and environment that he needs to grow up healthy in mind and spirit.. :: Tuesday, May 06, 2008 :: its just one of those days Im not up for anything at the moment.... Just feeling kinda low.... Im supposed to fold the laundry that's been sitting in the basket since yesterday but i dont feel like it... it must be the air in the house... i think i need to get some sun or some fresh air atleast... *sigh* maybe i need a vacation.... :: Monday, May 05, 2008 :: Philippines Politics 101 How well is your knowledge of the Politics in the Philippines? and if u happen to be living abroad or citizen of another country other than the Philippines, do u care about your ountry's politics at all?? I have to admit, I am not at all politically minded... as far as I could recall, between Dubai, Philippines and Canada, I knew more of the politics in Dubai since theirs is fairly easy to study and undertstand when we were still living there.. I know a few of the most important people in Canada's politics, like the prime minister and such... I knew a little about Erap and Macapagal when I stayed for a moment in the Philippines... and that was it! when we left for Canada 7 yrs ago I dont think i have updated my knowledge of the Philippines Politics since then... LOL! I hear a few things hear and there but I never really paid too much attention to it.. I guess the thought that I am a canadian citizen and that i dont think i'd go back and live in the Philippines have pushed me not to.. Not that I dont want to live back home, it's just that I dont think I can earn what I earn here back in the Philippines... and i've basicall started my life here... so atleast that's what i thought... no need for Philippine Politics... and besides, i think our politics back home is really dirty and ugly.. Since mon's parents have arrived this year, however, the conversation has been mostly about Philippine Politics and Political Personalities... There I was sitting among them totally clueless of what they were talking about.. Mon and I have dated for 5 years and now married for 1 year, ofcourse I should have known better! It didnt occur to me until this time that I should atleast know something about politics since his parents are in politics.. My husband hasnt been in Manila for 7-8 yrs now but he always reads Philippine News online and always updates himself.. I realized that politics will always be a part of any conversation in their family, especially when his parents are around... I guess there's no escape from Philippine Politics for me.. I should start reading online newspaper along with my husband... |
