The Witch of Portobello

Day 10


I am currently reading this book that I borrowed from Icon. Tito Noel gave it to me yesterday when we were both on duty. Nauwaw ko.. hehe Anyway, I haven't gotten around to actually reading and understanding the story. I kept on reading the first pages over and over again. I am so distracted these days. I find it hard to focus my attention. And when I do understand the story, i find myself drifting off to sleep. Gah. Shame on me. But I like the story.. I just don't understand everything. hahaha

The Microphone

Day 9



It was my first time to go on a 16-hour duty. And I did some things that I don't normally do on ordinary days. That microphone? I've been avoiding that the past weeks and last night, it got to me. I was asked to announce something. Dang..

Sunset

Day 8



im running out of subjects. too tired to get out of the house. It's Independence day. Are we really free? With all the problems arising everyday in our country, is there a chance at all for us to be free and to succeed?
Who am I kidding.
But still I am hoping that someday... everything will change for the better.

The Mask

Day 7

Being on Duty 24/7 in the ER puts us at risk for contracting diseases.
During my four weeks there, I've encountered patients with PTB. some are treated and just recently I came in contact with a PTB patient on its contagious stage. Paranoid as I was, I immediately donned my ever-trusted mask with hanky inside. Prevention is always better than cure.

Front Seat

Day 6

I commute to the city everyday if I am on AM or PM shift. I usually ride multicabs. One morning. I sat in front.
Seating here saved me from moving side to side. but one thing it didn't protect me from is the driver's attempt at conversation. I didn't feel the need to talk to him on that 30minute ride since I don't know him at all. He kept on talking to me an I kept on ignoring him.
I didn't want to be rude but I didn't feel like talking to him about trivial matters so early in the morning.
I wished I had something to cover my ears with.

Green Room

Day 5
This is the only room in the convent that I've seen. And I only know two priests who lived in this room. And both of them means so much to my family. Today, I learned that Fr. Intoy's health condition is not at its best. Lately he has been dyspnic and gets tired easily. And with that information was a news that saddened us all. He is going on a sick leave for a month. He just can't take the stress that his profession entails. I really hope he'd feel better soon. I will miss him terribly. he's like our Prozac. His Homilies are filled with lessons and important points. Now we are stuck with 20minute lectures that run in circles. *Im sorry Lord but that's the truth.
Anyway, we went to the convent a couple of hours ago to give Fr. Intoy something. But then we were too late. He left for Palo already. Dang. But we found a way to reach him though. Thank God for those ML chuvaness...
I'm looking forward to seeing him in July.

Bangs

Day 4
I disastrously cut my hair too horizontally straight and too short. Now I am stuck with this Dora-looking bangs. But hey, I won't let this disaster of a hair put me down and keep my spirits in hell. I will still wear them down and proud. har har.
Months or years from now, I will look back at this photo and laugh my heart out. Sometimes I make the stupidest mistakes. hehe ANd I learn from them. Hopefully. No more bad haircuts.
But I like my Dora Bangs. It gives me a certain look. hahah
