I was lucky enough to be assigned in the “Surgical Instruments Room” for this semester’s Revalida. The following were the instruments I had to name and state the use:
1. Blade Holder
2. Thumb Forceps
3. Ovum Forceps
4. Kelly Clamp
5. Allis Clamp
I had the hardest time identifying instrument #3. It’s very common and I’ve seen it a lot of times but I just couldn’t remember the name. But I managed to answer the other four. Lucky ,eh?
Now, time to review for Tuesday’s Comprehensive Exam. I mean, later. I missed the internet!
Patty, a close friend since high school, was pretty much into Teentalk-ing and blogging back then. I was curious so I joined Teentalk and forced myself into blogging and eventually liked it. I told her that and she started mentioning names and one of those was "Ate Xyla". Coming from my friend's mouth, I wanted to get close to that certain "Ate Xyla" because, aside from the fact that she was a product of my present school, I also found her interesting. Then I discovered her blog.
I was a silent reader of Ate Xyla's blog for the first few years. I thought her views mirror most of mine. And because I'm a student nurse and she is a Registered Nurse, her experiences in her profession inspire me to embrace and learn from my chosen path. She's also a good adviser and a friend to everyone.
You, especially those who do not own a blog, can also vote her for the Flippish Viewer’s Choice Category and get the chance to win a Nokia 2330 Classic. To vote, click this URL: http://www.flippish.com/nokia-voting-page/
Imagine when the closest person to you has started to ignore you like you don't exist in his/her own world because of something wrong you've done. Scary right? That's what happened again between me and my mom just earlier. You can throw that oh-it's-natural-for-a-mother-and-a-daughter-to-fight or it-happens-to-everyone sermons but for me, it's getting more and more difficult to patch things in between every time it happens.
It's usual, I get it. The last time it happened (which was, by far, the worst), I remember thinking of becoming vulnerable the next time it happens(which I hoped wouldn't!) but nothing's just the same when the person you do (insert crazy stuff here) with suddenly treats you like a stranger, a passer by. The feeling seemed as though the world turned a hundred and eighty degrees. And I was scared to think that I will be leaving for another one week to study without us being OK. I imagined coming back home and she wouldn't even ask how my week had been. I imagined a lonely birthday without her greeting me with her hugs and kisses.
So I didn't let the day pass without me saying and showing how sorry I was. I cried (inevitable. that's how I am when I apologize). And being the understandable and forgivable mother that she has always been, she accepted my apologies.
I just hope once again that the same scenario wont happen once more - be it with my mom or my dad. I hate the feeling.
On the other hand... I am really impressed and inspired by the unity and strength the Filipino people have been showing after the typhoon Ondoy devastation. One step at a time and we all can survive this challenge.
Still, God bless our motherland and us, her people.
