"These are the few of my favorite things!"
10. The communication logbook-
it's our station diary of events, rants, announcements, bloopers, stories, ka-echosan, heartaches, grudges, jokes and lovelife! So it's a diary, obviously, I love reading them, and writing on it as well. It's not only funny to read some notes, but the good thing about this logbook is that, it reminds us that the day is BENIGN. (kasi may time pa magsulat sa communcation logbook). I just lurv it!
9. The weighing Scale-
I don't know what has gotten to the people in my station. Everybody just seem to be so conscious with their weights. nagapapayatan, or nagpapatabaan. So, I guess I belong to the latter. "nagpapataba". It's like I do weigh myself 4-5x in an 8 hour shift. Pagkakain, weigh! Ok, am I not fooling myself, ayt? Well, as far as I could remember, 3 years ago, when I had my pre- employment physical exam, I was just at 39 kilos, and now it's 45. Well not bad, huh? But..... still I am suppose to be 50. blah blah.... It's hard, ok? haha
8. The Vendo Machine-
yeah yeah, it's my fave! I just could not have a night duty without dropping by the vendo for some refreshments. I know I have trouble in keeping myself awake at night and so, as much as possible, I try to entertain myself by eating and drinking. My fave is the iced coffee frap for only 15 pesos! I remember one time when my workmate tried his first coke zero vendo because I forced him to, and turned out to be hot orange juice. haha... So weird! Surely, Im gonna miss it!
7. My locker-
Okay, i have to admit that my locker is not as neat as you can imagine but it's not that messy too. It's just that everytime I open it up, there's always a missing ballpen, pencil, etc. May mga paa kasi gamit ko, nangangapit bahay. I will just miss those times when one day I will see it on other cases like, 'uy akin to ah" or maybe I was using their ballpen. So ballpens, cotton balls and micropores, they are the most precious possessions at work. It's like, "wow, thank God, may cotton!" haha... Isn't it ironic?
6. Recollections-
twice a year, as a catholic institution, we do have an advent and lent recollection. sabi nga ni father, the recollection is a time to rest. time to be with God and do nothing but rest. so sometimes, or most of the time, i am asleep during recollections. literally, rest! ;p
5. Outings-
Syempre bongga ang outing ng la Salle. I remember when i was a freshie in this institution, i was so amazed to know that there would be an outing in palawan. i was so ecstatic. 1 month preparation lng naman. and surely, i enjoyed it so much. the next year, it was in Hongkong (disneyland/ocean park) and China. oh dba bongga? I never thought that my disneyland dream would be granted by UMC. ---"in fairness"
4. The groceries
Oh how I wish that someday, UMC will have a Christmas, midyear, birthday bonus too, aside from the 13th month pay. Okay hello? calling?.... Sana magka bonus nmn! hehe... Anyway, on of the perks during Christmas is the give-away "groceries" for the staff- the noche buena. So memorize ko na laman nyan, "pasta, cheese, ham, fruit cocktail, condensed milk, nestle cream, and juice", as always! Anyway, thank you! It's the thought that counts. Pantawid pasko na din yun, dba?
3. Thoughtful patients
Once in a bluemoon, we also encounter generous and thoughtful patients, not just grumpy ones. it's when you are at the middle of toxicity, and your stomach is churning, there's no food in the pantry, no time to buy yourself food, no time to pee and you feel like your dying for starvation and suddenly, there's a patient would bring a "red ribbon cake" or the famous "pizza" or kahit minsan pandesal lng, sobrang appreciated na. Those little things would keep us going. And to name a few overwhelming incidents is when I received a "thank you letter, bracelet, or even cash" from some of the grateful clients. That's so sweet!
2. The staff-
but of corz, this place would mean nothing without the people. Everyday, I am seeing the doctors, nurses, pharmacists, housekeepers, guards, etc. They are the reason of my survival. I am thankful for the good people around. It's like a family in my second home. They just bring- happiness.
1. the Culture
for 3 years, finally i have adopted the la sallean culture that i always neglect to obey before. i was so skeptical of the rules and regulations that are way too different from mine before. i never thought that i would be introduced to some sorts of (bec), religious rules, etc.... i never thought that i would be an experienced nurse this way, thanks to umc! for my rants, complaints and hardships, i should say that, it's all been paid off.
One more thing,
Thank You!
