MY DEAR CLASSMATES,
I would like to encourage everyone who are signed up in the blog to share their experiences, feelings, dreams and aspirations in life. The title is"I AM 50 AND THEN WHAT---. We need to learn from each other and get reacquainted all over again. We all went our separate ways after College and that was 30 years ago. Please share with us!! It is a good bonding experience and also therapeutical. As my husband and my Psychiatrist puts it, "Confession is good for the soul and verbalizing our inner thoughts will make us feel good and energized. Those who are working in the MENTAL PROFESSION are aware of that principle, right Veron and Geegee? So how about it guys----

Hi Mildred
I wrote that piece for you posted a thought. And it somehow makes me think, what now? Yes, I am 50 so should I just be stumped in that age and period? So I am 50 and then...We are all in this stage of I am 50 and then magtatanim na lang ako ng halaman. Lots of laugh!
Julie,It is a therepeautic hobby. Just like Rene said, " Anything that is good for the soul"...Hahahahaha....Just like me I knit while I watch my Korean or Chinese tv mini series. My work is very stressful. I always look forward to going home because of my hobby. For some reason, it makes me "not mind" what happened at work.
Mildred, I don't knit sweaters. I tried long time ago and it was either to tight or too loose. So I gave up. I just do small things that I can finish on one sitting like scarf, hats, baby blankets for grand neices and nephews and co-workers. I'll make you one for next winter. OK?
Mildred...successful ang therapy sa iyo ni Rene...good job Rene!!!
Veron, knit me a baby blanket for my future grandchild. Make it a neutral color o.k. Oddie, I will tell Rene that he is doing a great job. I am making a lot of progress, I can feel it because he is been giving me a lot of privileges lately.he-he-he
Remember when we went to the private psych ward rotation and there was a new patient who was also a nurse that just got admitted and she just came from USA, all I could think of was what kind of experience did she have here in states that made her psycho pag uwi sa philippines? And also I can remember that most of the psych patients were either religiously or sexually preoccupied. They kept on blessing the mattress on the floor. :? sorry my mind wanders to strange memories sometimes....
Na-Office Ako
May na-office ba sa inyo bukod sa akin? Fifth year tayo noon and we had majors, tama ba ako. I chose ICU as major (told myself kaya pala iyon ang major ko) portentous dahil lagi ako sa ICU. There was one and only one comatose patient at the ICU; I was there waiting for my assignment. The staff couldn't decide what to do with me, and someone made fun of the patient; the staff nurse use a tube like a microphone and asked the patient "kayo po ano ang masasabi ninyo." I found that disrespectful. Kung tatay ko iyon or nanay tapos ganon ang gagawin nila, makikipag-away ako. So I left. ICU called the college at sinumbong ako. Ms. Alcantara called me at the office and asked what happened and told her."Ma'am they couldn't decide what to do with me so I decided for them, I left." Bless Miss/Dean Alcantara, she just let go of me. But I was banned from ICU. The last time I saw Dean A. was at the wake of Dr. Bobby de la Paz, her nephew killed by the military while on duty in Samar yata, it was martial law time. Eloisa, I love your aunt. We all love Miss Alcantara. And I admire Dr. Bobby de la Paz. When will I hear your voice, Eloys?
Cynthia,
Ganoon sa psycho ward, di vah. I remember one time si Mayet or Marrietta biglang tumili/sumigaw, malakas talaga. I thought something happened to her. We all run to Mayet and checked what happened. It turned out, Mayet was embraced by a patient behind her back. If I were in her position, a hindi lang sigaw, tili ang gagawin ko. Baka bigla kong nasuntok ang pasyente. Poor kid, and he kept saying "I just want to hug you" And he folded his arms as in embrace (5x). I wanted to hug that kid for all he was asking was to be loved by his parents. Iyon pala gusto ko lang makatsansing, ha.ha..ha. Mayet, do you recall this? Ang lakas ng sigaw mo noon. At ako din Cynthia, madalas akong ma-bless ng pasyente. Ine-exorcised ako. Sa halfway house, naman nakikipag-mahjong sa mga baliw. It is funny moments but sad. Isa yata iyon sa dahilan na umalis muna ako sa nursing dahil ang babata pa natin pasan ko na ang ganitong karanasan. Ayun bumalik din pero ako na and kinukunan ng BP. Lots of laughs!!! At hindi pa ako nababaliw ha, iyong cardiologist ko at pamilya ko ang baliw na sa akin..lots of laughs..
