Jason's Post-Bday Bash

yesterday was a very interesting day for me. in the midst of the "PLM Payback Doctors Program", i lost a collegue who intially agreed to relive me at Trans-Am Clinic while i go on pre-residency program at OMMC, in exchange of the payback program. so i decided to scout for my reliver. i thought of paula. i texted her two days ago about it. in the course of our communication i found out that she applied for a derma pre-residency at dermclinic for four months without pay which was really very infair for her. after making her wiegh all the pros and cons (more cons at that), she decided to join me on my racket at my husband's clinics while she awaits her most desired residency program at OMMC. Paula and I agreed to meet at Rob ermita to talk things out, and wapi soon followed to orient her. after that we went to my husband's office since wapi needed some stuffs for the clinic.

these past few days sobrang toxic ng nani. lage sya galit pag tumatawag sakin, complaining how he's so burned out with work and all his frustrations. i kept telling him to chill down and relax (which i know is hard with all the work he has to put). a little side story....the other day, i went to PRC to get my liscense card and met up with pam (who had her lisence number all mixed up). since my nani was going to trans-am that afternoon, i asked if i could mit him up at the clinic so that i could also see the progress of the place where i would work for 2 months. at trans-am, my nani was again frustrated with the filthy job the workers did with the clinic. sobrang galit nya (samahan pa nun isa nyang faithful staff), naawa ako kay manong worker na all the while kept quiet while he internalize all the deficiencies of their work. i understand my nani. if you are paying for a job that does not make right, i know that i myself would get furious as well. so i can't blame him for scolding and reprimanding the manong worker. all the while i was with pam, she got so fazed with my nani. nakakatakot daw. hahaha. sbi ko ganyan lang tlga yun. but sbi ni pam gumugwapo daw ang asawa ko. yeah mas gwapo ang asawa ko pag galit. hahaha.

so going back, me, paula and wapi went to makati. and since my husband was not really feeling well with work, i bought him comfort foods...CHOCOLATES! he loves chocolates. anything sweet. anything that could elevate your blood sugar is his cup of tea. so i bought him a mocha mudslide blended coffee and a cake (pronounced as "cock"). im glad he liked it. he said nawala daw pagod nya sa work (of course, nakita ako ng asawa ko, e pogi ako nun kaya sobrang erase lahat ng pagod nya....o! wag ka na mag react dahil totoo yun nana). so there in makati we also met another doctor who turned out to be related to our clerkship groupmate and batchmate. like her "pamangkin" she was so kikay and loud, a nice person to be with. after all the chitchatting, paula has made her decision to drop the dermclinic and work for my nani instead and payback at PLM on her free times. which i think is a more reasonable and feasible thing to do rather than waste your liscence in a job that doesnt pay.

paula said i was so tamed in my nani's office. actually my insides wanted to burst out and hug my nani (who was gorgeous with his tucked polo and pants sitting so cute in the back of his table looking so fine, signing sorts of cheques... geez!). sobrang hirap ng di mo pwede landiin ang asawa mo kse bawal and professional ethics would deem it immoral. sobrang pigil na pigil ako nun. hahaha. now i understand why my nani didnt put me together with him inside the same workplace. magmumukha akong kabit ng isang may asawa na susulyap sulyap lang sa office ng boss nya. hahaha. anyhow, after meeting up with my nani we headed off at Dampa for jayson's bday.

before going to dampa, we picked ara up at buendia. it was the first time since i saw her after the boards. sobrang nag drama pa ako sa kanya sa multiply na pumunta sya. in fairness, pumatok ang drama ko. hahaha. of course mataba sya as expected (but mas mataba daw ako sbi nya). sobrang saya ng bday ni jayson coz ara was there. i was actually a little apprehensive with what im gonna say so as ara would not feel comfortable. but all let loose and as usual, we were a bunch of loud people (mga doctor pa kme nun ha). boses pa lang ni karen buong bayan na nakakarining, dagdagan pa ni jayson buong mundo na may alam ng pinag uusapan namin, hagikgik ni doc eva abot hanggang MOA. haaay! mga hayop nga naman pag nakawala di mo mapipigil. hahaha. the food looks good (syempre tinignan ko lang yung mga seafoods), but the liempo and sisig was more tastier. hahaha. so after the dinner i drove karen and ara home. ara and i was able to talk after we dropped karen at her house. talking to her enlightened me that she was indeed ok. nothing really changed, she was still full of stories to tell. so full, nakalimutan nya kwento si josh (allegedly boyfriend nya hahahaha peace). i always tell her to face her fears by seeing us, i just realized it wasnt her who is afraid...it was me. i admit i was afraid seeing her coz as much as i would like everything to be ok, the problem is how would i approach her, how would i treat her. she said to treat her like we would before, which was actually what happened. interestingly enough, everything seemed like normal. a big relief for me. hahaha. ara is a very good friend of mine. she was the one who told me to hang on at MCM when i already wanted to quit, she was my constant groupmate in clerkship and in internship, we were even close to be drop-outs in surgery class. in the 6 years we have known each other... i guess we have shared so much things and experiences to be treasured for a lifetime. i was really happy seeing her. and i know she is a strong willed girl and she can withstand all obstacles to come (don't worry sbi ng nani wla ka din daw interview sa kanya... confirmed na yan kaya wag mu na compare ang pagmamahal ng nani ko sa inyong mga friends ko... ika nga ni tito tim "kaibigan ko kayong lahat").

haaay... buhay... saya!
