damn smilies... will work on it when i get back... hopefully..

it has been a long long week and to start...

monday

i first thought that the call of duty of a friend starts when the sun comes up or when you wake up anyway. unfortunately for elgin hero hidalgo francisco, it wasn't written in his "friendship handbook"(or maybe God really didn't provide him with). in about 3 hours, i was supposed to get dressed for my first day of work at the immaculate medical services inc. but i, being the helpful sleepy(drooling) hap, got up and listened to him. as it turns out, it was a guy problem. i really did feel sorry for him. i was just too embarassed to tell him that his problem had a simple solution... telling the guy what he felt. it really is better to have loved and lost rather than to have never loved at all... but really now, it isn't that simple.

tuesday

i promised aries that i was going to help him move out of their apartment and into a dorm at makati. as i helped him with his stuff, i looked around the place and couldn't help but feel sad that i wasn't going to be seeing much of him anymore... and the ma. cristina pals too. it's happening again. do you know how it feels when you keep putting something off for another day only to find out that you can't do that something anymore because it's gone? i always said that i would visit aries more. and now, he's so far away he's practically in another world. i really got sad about the whole thing that even when i had lunch with my big sis, queenie, i just couldn't enjoy it. it was that bad.

wednesday

work again. this time, almost all my extractions ended with me searching for the vein. luckily, no one really screamed out "ouch" or filed for incompetency on my part. in my defense, i did get the vein and pretty skillfully as i might say. i deserve my bragging rights. anyway, i love my work... and i hope i still do after some time. i love my boss too, her being one of my bestfriends(and if ever you're reading this... give me a raise!). one of the reasons why i enjoy my job is because i get to spend some time with ria(my boss) and make up for the lost ones during my sorority-busy days. i really will miss her when the last day comes. hopefully when i become a doctor, i could still come back there and work... as a phlebotomist pa rin. another reason why i sooooo love working there is because God has blessed them with poor eyesight and judgement and a lot of them think i'm pretty(and if you could see me smiling up to my ears). actually, last monday i was "ganda ganda" and today i was demoted to "maganda lang" according to buboy, the x-ray tech. if you want a boost in self esteem, i highly recommend working here.

thursday

school. i helped my cousin arrange her financial problems in her tuition for ust. i also got another chance to have lunch with mommy queenie. i think i suck at card games now. note to self: get tongits tips from cousins. i really didn't like this day. i was so tired and i didn't get to meet with my highschool friends because of it. i miss them more. the high of this day was when i looked at the sky on the way to alabang and found it so beautiful. like God had given me something to cheer my sulking. another high was when i was about to sleep, mommy texted me a very, very sweet message. i felt all the burden of my tiredness melt away with what she said. and if ever you are reading this, i just want to thank you again.

friday(and finally...)

work! getting better with socializing with the people there. hopefully, they might throw me a despedida party when i leave *hinthintsaboss* i still love working and actually loving it more. i can't wait for the two straight weeks when i'll be working there almost everyday. what ruined my day though was when a certain idiot driver,norma manansala, hit my car while backing hers up. it was really, really stupid and could have been prevented. it's my first time to get a serious hit and i'm glad it wasn't my fault. she'll be paying for it and i hope they get rid of the other scratches found on that fender. poor chester...

tomorrow, i'll be leaving for san fernando, masbate(whoopee!). finally after about almost 8 years, i'll be coming back to the province. i just love the beach there. i hope it's still as beautiful as it was when i last visited. i brought my snorkeling gear and stuff. i just hope i don't get burned by the sun. so long for now. be back on tuesday and luckily, work on wednesday.

pre-first day jitters

okay. so tomorrow will be my first day of work at the clinic. i'll be working as a phlebotomist or otherwise known as the bastard who sticks a needle in your arm for some blood tests. i haven't tried to extract blood from anyone since i graduated from college so i'm hoping when i get to the moment that i'm holding the syringe, the skill will just come back to me. i wish it was that easy... or else pity the first patient that comes to me.

i'm missing a lot of people right now... and i'm wishing that i was back in school. i can handle all the physio or biochem lectures they can whip out just so long as i can see my friends together in one place again. i just miss them so much. now i hate summer... because i'm missing them all badly.
