Crazy Staffs and Stuffs at work

We had a very toxic Thursday last week. It's our last day of work for the entire week and it's a very busy day. Sounds so unusual for every Thursday that we had at work.  Usually on a Thursday we are enjoying the 4hour work by just sitting and chatting. Hahahhahahha!!! Not so productive. But the story goes like this, we had a laser treatment that day by our very own toxic doctor/director. Actually, it's my turn to scrub with him since we have our rotation. Pero Dr. Shammari is kept on insisting Ethel that she will be the one who will scrub for him. Hindi pa daw kasi nakakapagscrub si Ethel kay Doctor. Kasi my colleague, Ethel is always afraid everytime the doctor is talking to her. Ahehhehehhe!!! As I said to myself "ligtas ako from scrubbing"... hahhahahhaha!!! plus di ako makakarinig ng something from him. Hahaha!!! So I just told Ethel, that I'll be her circulating nurse. Ok!! While preparing the things to be used syempre di mawawala samen ung mga funny moments. Hobby na kasi namen yon. Ayaw namen ng loneliness and stress. Kaya enjoy life as it is. Sabi nga ng dati nameng manager on his skype status "Life is too short, so make fun of it." hhaahhahha!!! We see to it that every machines are working. When everything is set. Naisip lang naman namen na magpicture picture.

Checking the lamp if it's working. yeah!!! spotlight kunyari. hahahahha!!! Tapos ung transducer ung mic. Ewwwness!!!! aheheheh!!! something's wrong with that transducer??? know why??? Hhahahhha!! Dumadaan yan sa madaming parts ng katawan even down under. Hhaahhahah!!

Despite the kalokohan's that we have. Syempre tinry ko naman yung best ko na magseryoso sa ginagawa ko. At sa sobrang excited even though wala pang patient. Eto ang pinaggagawa ko... Magsuot na ng mask and cap. Tapos prepare ung transducer. Nyahahhhahha!!!


Pero teka... someone's missing... Ang scrub nurse!!! Where is she???... aha!!! Huli sya sa treadmill room at nakaupo pa sa wheelchair on her laptop on. IMBA tlga si Ethel!!! Ahehhehehh!!!

Once the patient arrived, we already prepare her. I'm with Ethel sa treatment room to prepare the things. I immediately dropped all the sterile items in the sterile field.  And I also prepared the tumescent anesthesia. So, busy ako sa pagprepare when Ethel put on the gloves first. Nagulat ako sa ginawa nya kahit kme-kme lang ang tao binulungan ko na lang sya na... "bakit gloves ang inuna mo??? dapat ung gown."... hahhahahha!!! sabay sabing "oo nga no"... pero ang BFF nya na local sabi "it's ok"...  I just kept quiet pero pagdating ni Blithe on her loud voice "bakit gloves ang inuna mo???!!! mali yan!!! gown ang una!! wag kang makinig sa BFF mo hayaan mo sya. palitan mo yang gloves mo" we can't help but to laugh so hard. Tapos nakagown na sya and gloves wala pa pala syang cap and mask. Kakaloka!! Kinabahan ata ng bongga si Ethel. Nyahahhhha!!! Good thing wala pa si Doctor non. Dahil lagot na. Kamusta naman ang sterile technique. Laughtrip tlga si Ethel!! Yan ang masayang scrub that I ever experienced. Nyahaahhhaha!! Super laughtrip. At funny pa don ung cap nya na si Blithe ang nagsuot eh baliko so she can't see that much kc natakpan ng konti ung isang mata nya. Wow!!! instant chinita. nyahahahaha!!!

LESSON: Bago mgscrub internalize mo muna ang step by step procedure ng hindi nawiwindang pagpasok sa loob ng treatment room. And always don't forget the "STERILE TECHNIQUE"... :D

Bungisngis Moments

Sometimes hindi mo talaga maiwasan mainis lalo na pag nasa work ka. Minsan lahat ng tao nakakainis mapa Staff, pasyente, Doctor... Pero sabi nga nila, that's life. It's up to you on how are you going to handle things. May mga instances na kahit toxic na, sobrang nakakainis... di padin maiwasan na matawa. Sometimes I'm thinking professionalism bang maituturing na in serious times at work bigla  kang tatawa pag kinakausap ka ng manager or doctors. Crazy!!!! Hahahhhhahhha!!!

SITUATION #1: Hinanap ng manager namen c Ethel, my co-Staff nurse... He handed the key of our laser machine. Nagkatinginan kami ni Blithe sabay tawa. Huwaaaaatttt??? Ano na ba si Ethel?? Key girl??? Eh halos lahat ng susi ng buong clinic nasa kanya na. nyahahahahhah!!!! Pero infairness natawa din naman ung manager namen. Pumatol sya. Hahahahahahhaa!!! 

SITUATION #2: Everytime na lalabas kami pag off day, we have to ask permission from our manager first. Ukie, here's the rule: lahat magpapaalam, lahat pupunta sa managers office. Pagdating sa hallway papuntang Manager's office nagtutulakan at nagtatawanan for no apparent reasons. Nurses ba kameng maituturing??? Nyhaahhahahha!!!

SITUATION #3: While doing the laser with one of our Doctor's... while injecting tumescent anesthesia to the patient... Doctor shouted... were living the american dream... hahahahaha!!! tapos he asked to close the lights sabay sabing "see, isn't it romantic"... Hello doc!! nyahaahhahaah!!!!

SITUATION #4: Doctor talking to the patient. "Blah, blah, blah.... belbelbelbel..."... may stuttering na nagaganap ke doctor with matching hyperacidity. Bilang ang hilig nyang magkape tapos talsik laway. Another bungisngis moments para samen. 

SITUATION #5: Doctor entered the OR after the scrub nurses finished in prepping the patient. Doctor asked "Can I have gloves please. 7.5"... The circulating hand it to him sabay sabing "THANK YOU SO MUCH" in a very soft tone. Makapag thankyou so much naman si doctor. haahhhahahha!!!!! 

SITUATION #6: 

Receptionist: The next patient is in the waiting area. He's face is good. His hair is good. And his body is so big.

Me: Ethel, samahan na kita. dalawa na tayo mgassist ke doctor para makita ko yang pasyente na yan. Mauna nako don s clinic room tawagin mo na ang patient.

(while opening the system for doctor, the patient entered... dahil nadismaya ko dali-dali akong lumabas ng clinic room)

Me: kaw na lang Ethel carry mo na yan. nyhahahahahha!!

(sabay exit ng room)

...... outside the room can't help but to laugh... good pala ah!!

.... Kahit stressful ngayon ko lang narealize dami palang bungisngis moments those were just examples and more to come pa. 

Tech Support

Friday, and it's my off... so I'm thinking how to end my boring day right???... 8:00 pm na and I'm kinda sleepy. So what to do now Meybs???... eh di matulog. heller!! But I'm having a hard time sleeping naman dahil sa sobrang naglalagkit ako under my super TOM and JERRY comforter na pagkainit-init... Oh??? summer n??? hahahahhah!!!!! Since nagugutom nadin ako bumangon muna ko s kama at kumain. Sarap ng pakiramdam whenever out of bed pala. hahahhhahah!!! And then my room mate "Blithe" talked to me and said "Bel, ung roaming ko ano ng mangyayari??"... I answered "baka sa network lang yan"... After eating I sat in front of the television. Bigla kong naisip may tech support pala ang network nya because we share the same network eh. And naexperience ko nadin makipagusap s tech support way back in Brunei. 

Blithe: Pano ba???

Me: google mo ung website

Blithe: Pano nga???

(kulet diba???) hahahhhahhaha!!!

Me: Akin na nga ako mghahanap

Ok hanap galore naman ako. Since sabi ni Blithe pag naayos ung roaming nya bibilhan nya ko ng shawarwa. Ok fine. Basta shawarma ng Yamal Ashyam na may  kasamang cocktail. Weeeee!!!! Been craving for it. Ai since walang google chrome ung laptop ni Blithe. I lent her mine. :D

Ayan na.... been connected to a Tech support named Michael

Syempre ang english ko men.... nyahahhhahahah!!! nakikilevel kay Michael the tech support.

Anyway I just started the conversation tapos pinasa ko na ke Blithe since gigil na gigil na siya at di nya maiwasang magtagalog. Toinks!!! Tagalog pala tong si Michael eh. Sayang men!!!! nyahahahahha!!! At the middle of their conversation dahil paligoy-ligoy lng naman si Michael at parang nahirapan siyang humanap ng solusyon sa problema ng room mate kong si Blithe. Bigla kong nasabi na "Kaw Michael niloloko mo ko ah". At eto ang conversation nila ni Blithe...

Blithe: ikaw Michael ah, niloloko mo ko.

Michael (tech support): HINDI KO PO KAYO NILOLOKO. PART PO NG TRABAHO KO ANG TROUBLESHOOTING.

Blithe: Ikaw kaya itroubleshoot ko dyan paguwi ko ng Pilipinas. 

After I read this... I can't help but to laugh!!!! Kaloka ka Michael the tech support!!!! nyahahhhhhaha!!! Nakakawala ka ng lungkot. Before anything else, 2 days in a row na pala kme ni Blithe na nakikipagusap sa Tech support. 

But the most important part of it is that nasolve ang dapat na isolve plus may bonus SHAWARMA from Yamal Asham tsaka cocktail. Yey!!! Nyahahahhhahhahah!!!!! :D

INNER PEACE

Everyone wants to have this inner peace. Hmmmm... for those asking what is "inner peace"?... according to wikipedia, BLISS, HAPPINESS and CONTENTMENT. In some cultures, inner peace is considered a state of consciousness or enlightenment that may be cultivated by various forms of training, such as prayer, meditation, T'ai Chi Ch'uan or yoga, for example. Finding one is really hard. There must be willingness and effort of course. For some it's not a big thing because they are happy doing things that they want without even thinking whether good or bad. I remembered when I'm in the midst of an ordeal 4 years ago and it remained for years. I even questioned God once but I realized that God has a greater purpose for everything. One night I talked to Him and said "God whatever you want me to do then I'll do it just give me the peace that I've been wanting". T'was unplanned but I've been in a place which I never thought would bring me such happiness and peacefulness. Before I left, I am full of apprehension, frustrations and bitterness and told myself that when I get to that place everything will change and will fill my heart with positive things. I was given a chance to have time for myself. Every morning, I was just staring at the window feeling the rays of the sun and there's this tree wherein I just only saw on my dreams. And I was like, what?!!! the hell!!! that tree!! yes!!! it's for real. And I came into realizations that dreams do come true. Just like in the movie, I was so amazed by it's beauty and I'm imagining that "that tree is my success and to be able to fully appreciate it's beauty I have to do something to be able to go near that tree"and also aside from that effort I should have this strong FAITH in HIM for HE will lead us on the right path. I never really thought that I would truly know GOD  deeply in this place. Seriously, I was born Catholic and I grew up in a very religious environment plus very religious country but I don't understand who God was until He brought me to a place where I would have the time to know HIM deeply. It is always a great feeling talking to Him. For me, finding GOD is my inner peace. Knowing HIM deeply gave me a better understanding what I really wanted in life. God made me realized that no matter how hard life is, He's just right there beside you and he will lead you towards the right path. It was so nice most especially my encounter with him towards my journey and I told myself  "I'm not alone".  I came back to the Philippines bringing this inner peace that God gave me. And after a year, another journey of my life... that was full of stress, frustration and another bitterness... and now I've been missing the inner peace that I once had... I miss it... God, help me.... I need it... T_T

... 15 mins of staring in this blog how to end it. I know it was God who helped me in finding this one. A blog from www.positivityblog.com entitled: How to find inner peace: 5 timeless thoughts.


1. Simplify.
Use a limited to-do list. Only 2 or 3 of the most important things.
Set limits. Set limits for daily checking of inboxes. I do it only once a day. Set time limits for small decisions and make them within seconds after you have thought about them to avoid procrastination and overthinking. Set time limits for tasks such as 15 minutes each day for answering emails or for using Twitter. Set a limit for commitments and say no to be able to feel less stress and produce better results.
Remember to “keep things extremely simple”. I have written down that sentence on my white board and it is a daily and constant reminder that helps me when I lose my way.
2. Accept.
When you accept what is you stop feeding energy into resisting what is. You don’t make a problem more powerful and sticky in your mind. Instead, somewhat counter intuitively, when you accept what is it loses much of its power. It just is.
And you feel stillness inside. Now, accepting what is doesn’t mean to give up. It just means that you put yourself in a better position take action if necessary. Because now you can see more clearly, you can focus your energy towards what you want and take the appropriate action to change your situation.
3. Forgive.
By accepting what is it is much easier to let go of things and to forgive what has happened.
Forgiveness is important because as long as you don’t forgive someone you are linked to that person. Your thoughts will return to the person who wronged you and what s/he did over and over again. The emotional link between the two of you is so strong and inflicts much suffering in you and – as a result of your inner turmoil – most often in other people around you too.
When you forgive you do not only release the other person. You set yourself free too from all of that agony.
One thing to keep in mind is to not just forgive others but also yourself. By forgiving yourself – instead of resenting yourself for something you did a week or 10 years ago – you make the habit of forgiveness more and more of a natural part of you. And so forgiving others becomes easier too.
Also, what you think is a question of forgiving others you may sometimes – after some time and inner struggle – discover is just as much, if not more, about forgiving yourself rather than the other person.
4. Do what you enjoy.
When you do what you enjoy there is a natural peace that arises within. You are in alignment with your outer world. This also leads to a lot more success than if you have a lot of inner turmoil and really don’t care that much for your work.
One of my favorite tips for finding things you enjoy or love doing is simply to explore life. To be curious and try things out and see what you think of them. This can bring many insights both about yourself and about how things really are when you do them rather than when they are just theories floating around in your head.

5. Be careful with your inner peace.
By using the tips above and by living in the present moment you can find a lot more inner peace. Not only during days when things go as planned. But also on days when your world is upset and things aren’t so easy. On such days your inner peace will be very useful to help you make good decisions and to get things done. So be smart, stay calm and be careful with your inner peace.


.... So there you go.... I can do this!!!! :D
