What's up?

What's new? It's 2012 and it took me days before I got the chance to update my online journal. Gahd! I hope I won't be like this the whole year. 

I'm still working (without pay) in the Dialysis unit at certain hospital. Ten days more and I would be celebrating my 3rd month in there, not to mention my birthday too. No doubt, time flies when you enjoy what you do even if I'm broke all the time. 

I'm happy. It's not a perfect place and the people aren't either but for some reason I appreciate what I have right now. 

First, I got the chance to do what I really wanted which is caring and healing people. Did I ever mention that I take pride of what I do. There is a sense of happiness whenever I see myself wearing that white uniform.

Second, I got good friends. Really thankful that I wasn't totally stuck with a bunch of guys. I got really cool girlfriends and we share the same interests: Tin (eccentric), Leah (half-mature), Mark (innocent), Mike (quiet). They got their own story and they are really entertaining to the point that I get to indulge even with hard situations.

Then, I was blessed with really welcoming seniors and head nurse. My head nurse was kind a bisexual but he's very nice and approachable. The staff has different personalities. Some are bold (don), cautious (ej), warm (mench), intimidating (mike), cold (jen), light (mar). But all in all they are the best staff I've met so far in terms of ego level. 

Finally, I get the chance to learn a lot from the medical field to socialization. I'm taking notes from people who are more experienced than me. Yeah, I might be older than them numerically but young with experience both on nursing and the outside world. I guess this is what I get when I stuck myself in one corner of my house and spending long hours in front of the computer.

Lesson: When you get along with people you become one, when you hang out with computers you become a robot.
