updates.. updates.. updates...

i see i haven't updated for quite a while now... so, here i am!

i can't believe it's been almost three weeks since we came back from our trip to philippines! i'm still trying to get over the time difference, my body seems to find it hard because of my work schedule. but, today am better.

last sunday, i wasn't able to attend the service (finish the service). after sunday school, we went straight to worship. few minutes into it, i just felt this overwhelming weakness all over my body. i sat down, hoping it would go away. it felt like how my body responds in a car running 60mph and suddenly coming to a halt each block. so horacio decided to take me home, since he said i didn't look good. went home and slept. thank God a co-worker of mine had to switch days with me... so, i was able to rest. the rest did me good.

nausea and fatigue didn't stop there... it lingered for couple more days, leading to me calling in sick on wednesday. wherein i stayed put and did some tasks that didn't require me to get up from my desk or leave my room. horacio checked my bp, it was good... so i'm guessing it's my sugar.... since, i don't have glucometer, i'm leaving it up to that.

work has been quite stressful. my first week back more than the others. the first day i came back, i had a patient who had a stroke and seized... we had to transfer him to a critical care unit... i was running around, doing blood draw (which, thanks to adrenaline, i got the first time! he had no veins!!). giving meds to doctors to push.. making sure he gets a bed and survives the night. the following day, patient's bp was so low that we had to give him bolus and monitor him very closely. as what anne told me, i brought back jinx! it was crazy!

just this thursday, after i came back to work (called in the previous day), i was welcomed with a patient who was having tachycardia no matter how much metoprolol push was given... as soon as i came in, i couldn't do anything but be with the patient until he was trannsfered to cardiac icu.

somehow i felt like i was being punished by my floor for going away for two weeks!! we've also been short staffed lately, since two of our staff had to leave to another unit and shift. to top it all, i would be working for the next three weekends - to pay back for the weekend that i was gone! man, i really need a different hospital!! i am so desperate for a twelve-hour shift!!! summer is about to end... if i haven't left for manila, this summer would have the same fate as the last. it just ended before i knew it.

on the brighter note of things... wedding planning seems to be going on smoothly. was so happy to be able to pick my sister's brain!! we have a theme!! everything will be divulge in due time. i'm so excited!! we've booked a reception place, which is also a possible place for the ceremony. i've sent out the contract for my photographer. contacted the make-up artist. now, i just have to meet up with the wedding planner (that is inclusive of my reception package) to fix some other details.

other non-wedding stuff.. i have a female crush! hehehe well.. i just find her pretty and all... but the two weeks in manila made me realize how cute and adorable angel locsin is! hehehe the manila trip did so much to me... i never thought i would watch a tele-novela... but here i am, holding on to 5 volumes of Lobo!! am on volume three, and my sister owes me the final dvd of the novela!! but it's not only i who got hooked to lobo.. my mom and bro too!! (my brother is so gonna kill me!)

also, i have been cooking again!! yup, i am back in the kitchen and enjoying it!! the other day i made stir fry chicken with vegetables.. then i made red beans with rice and chicken! i love to cook and i really missed it! also made a fridge cake, which horacio devoured! what can i say, i make a mean fridge cake!

.....

today is such a nice day outside. am not working... went to sunday school and finished the service! came home and the house was so stuffy! so i decided to open the windows, since it's so breezy outside. today is such a good day for just lazing around. no ac for me today! just me and the breez of cool air.

anyways, that's it for today.. am gonna go through my clothes.. it's time to sort what to keep and what to give. ta-ta for now! :)
