Heto ako..basang-basa sa ulan!!! i was freakin' out the whole time i was on my way home. i wanted to burst into anger and i would like to thank my kabarkada, gigi juan, for being understanding kasi she has been my shock absorber for all the angst, complains and frustration that i vented...pati na rin when i held her forearm so tight to release the pressure built up inside me. nainis talaga ako. sino ba naman ang may gusto na ma-salisihan? teka lang, hindi ako nasalisihan ng gamit sa bag or kung anuman ha. nagkasalisi kami ng parents ko when i was about to get home since our work at PCMC was decleared half-day d/t nonstop heavy rain with matching malakas na hanging Habagat. guys, all my life i've been hearing the word, Habagat...anubayun?!?
so here's the story. 3:00 in the morning i was awakened by the heavy downpour of the rain; that time i also thought it was already 6am since around 6:30pm, i had forty winks as soon as i stepped my foot at our home. pagising-gising ako actually. checkin' my cellphone for text messages. saw 1 missed call from someone. feeling my newly-acquired headache from too much sleeping but at the same, appreciating the comfy and cold weather. i thought i could do so many work yesterday after duty but just listening to the sound of the rain, makes my body sink back to my bed. after a couple of hours, i can still hear but this time the violent and windy sound of the driving rain. whatever. hindi daw typhoon kasi malakas lang ang hangin. i thought, may pasok pa ba pag ganito?! HELLO!!! wala namang pasyente pag ganito na ang panahon. fast forward. we received a text from our clinical supervisor. if we couldn't make it to go to PCMC, it's okay for us not to pursue the trip but God has been really faithful to us that i have the opportunity to be taken to the hospital by our van. so hinatid ako ni dad. we were kind of rushing na rin kasi medyo traffic though on time lang kami umalis. alam mo na, umuulan kasi. i timed in and what reflected to my DTR card is.....8:03am!!! kainis!!! 1/2 day make-up uli yan! over a week nako dito magmmake-up.
when i was about to leave the van, dad told me to call either at church or home if ever our work is gonna be suspended. so there. not to much my surprise, we were only 7 interns (in which 26 talaga kaming lahat OT&PT na yun sa munting Interns' Room). i thought, di naman na siguro kami immark ng late because of our effort and dedication (naks!) to report for duty. sana talaga. so we were so bored and laughed at each other's jokes. waiting our butts off for pxs. palakpakan nga daw namin yung pinaka-una. aba'y akalain mong meron?! astig. tiyaga nung nanay. pero buti na lang, for check-up lang daw sila. haaayyyy! so after time, mga 3 pxs dumating. yung mga PT, they treated their inpxs (in-patients). around 10:30, our CS told us half-day na nga but the thing is, the rain just kept on pouring friggin' hard...as if unending ang precipitation process!!! as soon as i heard the breaking news, i quickly pulled out my cel from my pocket and texted away my friends who i thought who can reach my dad and relay that he can fetch me by lunch. andaming nangyari. hanggang sa na-page na yung tatay ko sa Medical City dahil wala siyang cel na dala pati mom ko so i had no means of communication with 'em. to tell you guys, ang hirap ng ganun!
nga pala, the DTR cards were handed back to us by our CS and thankfully, they did not mark it as late or a 1/2 day make-up! wooohooooo!!!!
while waiting for dad and mom...since nakarating na sa kanila that i will wait for them...i asked 2 of my classmates/co-interns to stay with me and guaranteed that i will take them with our van the moment dad arrives.
after a few minutes, we thought of eating lunch at Ricamara..o di ba. suki namin na mura ang pagkain, lutong bahay and malinis pa....so far. haha! i guess we munched for about 45 minutes. i was so relax then that my sundo will get there after an hour pa. that time, lowbat na cel ko and i kept on turning it off to save battery even for just a tad of a bar na lang natitira. talagang malapit nang bumigay. eh nung paalis na kami, there were 2 missed calls from my uncle. what got into my head was, baka nagpapasabi sina mommy na andun na sila. so umalis na kami ad walked back to PCMC.
zippo.
mei you.
none.
wala.
WALA NA SILA!!!arrrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! perhaps just a speck of my frustration still remains up to this second kasi andami kong efforts na ginawa just to reach them tapos eto lang makukuha ko?! kainis talaga!!! sobrang asar ako nun and napapangiti na lang mga kaibigan ko. we checked the parking area. wala. we scanned the lobby, wala pa rin! but one of the PT CS asked who among us is dianne. she relayed the news to me that a few minutes ago, dad and mom were there looking for me and even looked into the hospital canteen...nakitawag pa sa Rehab! anoba ito, sabi ko sa sarili ko. after pacifying myself, i decided to go home with my friends. nag-MRT ako. well, mabilis naman ang biyahe and it's not that stressing kasi it's not rush hour and siksikan like canned fish is not necessary. 2pm pa naman kasi. just when i thought i was smoothly going home, here comes the rain again and began pouring down as if the clouds wanted the existing gremlins to make mass production and eat up the mankind. oo na, morbid na kung morbid. sorry. the good thing is, i was already at the Shaw Blvd, ready to cross the street and ride a tricycle. siguro di naman nagtagal kasi pina-tila ko ng konti ang ulan tapos tumawid nako. oh well.....
so natural, di ko na ikukwento ang nangyari dito sa bahay. all i wanted to do right now is to thank our Heavenly Father for protecting me and not letting me be splashed by the eeky flood from the transparent and clean canal ng mga kalsada. hehe. i thank God because htough i got soaked by that "rain" (grabe, hindi pa talaga typhoon tawag dun!), i was not able to catch colds.
ayun lang po. hope you found this entry a life lesson---COMMUNICATION is essentially needed sa anumang parte ng buhay natin. i was not able to disclose everything sa mga taong macocontact ng parents ko to reach me. ah ewan! hehe. sige.
till next entry my friends........ God bless y'all!
