Confiscated Play

So i came in late for my last class this afternoon, PMSD5 as we call it. My friend was texting me if our prof was there and i said, "duh. papasok ka ba?", he said he was going to. Let's call my friend, "Gie". Then the prof caught me using my cellphone...asked me to raise my right hand and i ended up raising my left. LOL. So i couldn't do anything anymore but put down my phone inside my bag and raised my right hand. She then told me to place my cellphone on top of her desk. I didn't hesitate, so i did. A couple of minutes later, my friend who i was texting came in. XD He didn't know anything about the incident yet. It was my first time to get caught in my history of stay in MMC. Hehehe... I feel so proud. XD

Anyhow, during class, our group was supposed to present a short play about Therapeutic Communication and our topic was about the "Therapeutic Touch". So we were planning what to present but then my wacko groupmates wanted to re-enact my little incident. I swear, pinag-tripan talaga ako. Then Gie was wondering if it was true or not and if it was because he was texting me. Then i jokingly and sarcastically replied, "naku hindi! bwisit ka! nadali cellphone ko sayo!". We are 5 in the group and the 3 were just laughing their asses off but we laughed as well.

In our short play, i was the "to-be depressed psychotic patient" because my "parents" didn't want to buy me a new phone and that they got mad so much because we were going "poor". I knew this play was going to be one heck of a kalokohan because we would just end up laughing. And we did. I couldn't act and say my lines right and so did the other casts.

At first, we re-enacted from the point i came in late until my phone got confiscated. JP was the "prof" as well as my "dad" and Sassy as my "mom". They are both guys and those two are my ka-tropa in class as well so we just laughed and laughed until the whole class was laughing with us. It was really funny, can't you tell? We had to get serious. So i tried to make drama because my cellphone was "confiscated". For some reason, my voice sounded like i was crying but in truth i just kept my self from laughing any further. I then had to act depressed. The next scene was when my "parents" had to bring me to the mental institute because i was becoming "psychotic". My "diagnosis" was Acute Undifferentiated Residual Paranoid with Manic-depressive Schizophrenic Disorder Syndrome. Naturally of course, we just made that up because we just combined the types of Schizophrenia that we could think of. LOL. AHAHAHAHAHA~!!

My part was to act "psychotic" and i did. I re-enacted what ever behaviour i could remember while we were on duty at NCMH. I messed up my hair, threw everybody who came close to me, stared blankly to any point in the room, acted depressed, etc etc. HEHE... Grabe, i didn't think we could make any one laugh but we did. We made the whole class laugh and they were loving our play. Shayne was part of the cast as my nurse and Gie as my phsychiatric physician. Gie's part was to explain everything to my "parents" and Shayne's part was to provide my proper hygiene. Even how i spoke while in that scene was like from a "psycho"... "gusto ko nang mamatay...hindi na ako mahal ng mga magulang ko..". HeEhe... Then Shayne was making adlib some of the lines and i had to think of the last words that i was going to say...

Shayne: ma'am, may gusto po ba kayo sabihin sa akin? (comforts me while rubbing my back... remember: Therapeutic Touch)
Me: ayoko nang magka-cellphone (in a deep low voice)

And with that line, the whole class was laughing their assess off i couldn't even believe it. XDD Then D.A. commented that he really enjoyed our play and that he loved how i acted because it was "natural" daw.

What the heck?!?! LOL.

So...

After class, i went to the prof to claim my cellphone. She asked if it was my first time and i said yes. She was really kind not to issue me with an incident report but she made me sign this paper about the incident to be given to the division head. Pucha. Incident report na din yun noh! But the official "Incident Report" is that we have to write ourselves what exactly happened. Two copies. Oh well...at least i didn't end up doing that and promised that i wouldn't do it again. Well in fact, i just have to be careful not to get caught next time. Hehe... *evil*

>=D

dOOmed nurses.

So we're already starting our duty at the 8th floor of Makati Medical Center where we would be exposed to patients with communicable diseases like tuberculosis, rabies and shit. We also had a short field trip at RITM (Research Institute for Tropical Medicine) at Alabang just near Festival Mall. They have 50 wards for patients with infectious diseases. They would only accept INFECTIOUS patients and loving it. They said it was for research purposes so that they could take different samples of the viruses that they are trying to control so that they could improve their vaccines. It's scary but amazing at the same time.

So we also got a tour inside their negative pressure rooms wherein they keep patients who are highly infectious. So we went into this green hallway...


Doomed nurses. XD

We survived somehow. Lol.

Hermit Crabs

So while i was walking around Glorietta and going through Park Square while waiting for Ken, i visited the Hermit Crab place again where they sell hermit crabs as pets. I got so intrigued that i was itching to buy them as my "unique and exotic" pets. LOL.

Me: binebenta niyo 'to?
Guy: oo.
Me: magkano isa?
Guy: depende sa laki...may 100, 150, 200...
Me: ahh ganun...alin diyan yug 100?
Guy: (collects all that could be sold for 100 pesos)
Me: (picks one of them up and accidentally drops it because it was going out of the shell)
Guy: may binebenta na rin kami na lalagyan...may kasamang pebbles.
Me: makano yung lalagyan?
Guy: 200.
Me: (keeps playing around with the other crabs) ano kinakain nila?
Guy: kahit ano... (hands me a brochure on "basic caring")
Me: (sees the guy pouring water on one of the crabs) bakit binabasa?
Guy: para maka-inom sila.. land hermit crabs naman ito eh, kahit konti lang yung tubig.
Me: ahh...eh paano kapag hindi na sila kasya sa shell nila?
Guy: kusa nalang sila lalabas at maghahanap. kapag hindi sila nakahanap, babalik sila sa lumang shell..
Me: saan nakakabili ng shells?
Guy: may binebenta din kami..kahit sa mga department stores meron.
Me: ilan taon na yung malaki na yun? (points to the baseball sized crab and carries it)
Guy: 3 years old na yan.
Me: yan na yung pinaka-malaki nilang size?
Guy: hindi mas malaki pa diyan..
Me: ahh...cge cge.. kukuha ako ng dalawa..pati isang lalagyan.. (smiles) alin diyan yung 100 ulet?

So i brought home two crabs. XD


Meet Johnny Bravo (he's red) and Garfield (he's purple), respectively. XD

I'm planning to buy them pretty shells after they have grown up from their primary painted Johnny Bravo and Garfield shells and buy an aquarium someday. He he he...

"A Time For Us"

The scenes and storyline was literally based on student nurses and Nursing at MMC.

Our school is celebrating its 30th Anniversary this week so in behalf of the whole school and student body and faculty staff, the play "A Time For Us" was tirelessly conducted by some of the students wherein they even hired a professional director.

So today, aroun 7:00pm, i furiously drove (i was almost fucking late) to PhilAm Life Auditorium, U.N. Avenue, Manila to watch this compulsary play. We couldn't do anything but to pay 250 pesos to watch it. It was okay naman, it was a comedy drama. I have no comments on Kristine's acting. Lol. I loved D.A.'s character the best! He was this entity like he was in everyone's conscience and the "giver of fantasies". He played it so naturally (because it was also a gay character) it was like there was no effort needed. It was like he was the one who carried the whole play, if not, it would turn out DULL. So Shayne got us seats 3rd to the first row so i was able to get some close up pictures:


That's D.A. in black. And yes, he gay. XD

So this is just the start of the College Week...

"Cafe Vagina"

I was told to go to school today, of all days a SUNDAY, to help my friends set-up an exhibit for College week. So, Cheska, my friend, called forth all those "artistically inclined" people, incuding me, to help her. Our theme set-up was the Delivery Room.

She told me to draw a woman lying down on the delivery table, giving birth, with a doctor giving the birth. I was working from 8:00am until 4:00pm starting from drawing on scratch paper, to drawing it in canvas with a charcoal pencil, painted it with a little help from the other people of the group, outlined it with black, and finally some finishing touches. Here is the end result:




It's supposed to serve as an entrance into the exhibit (at the back of it). The group gave me the honors of cutting it in half. At first they called it "ribbon cutting". Then someone said "grand opening". Then somebody yelled out "grand opening ng Cafe Vagina!". I fucking laughed so hard i wouldn't want to cut it. XD

Here's a video of me cutting it in half courtesy of Loren (1:17 mins at 700kb):

Cafe Vagina - Grand Opening Feb 4, 2007

View it and enjoy! XD

continuation

So continuing on, on our second to the last day of our CHN rotation, we held a mass Health Teaching at Pio del Pilar Elementary School in Makati to grade 2 students about the importance of good nutrition. It was fun considering that we also did a play about it and the main casts were just excellent. Too bad Shayne got replaced by Kristine as "Bogart" because of all the days to become absent she did on that day. Oh well....

I hated their teacher tho. The food pyramid i made is supposed to be posted at the Health Center so our group had something to be proud of to the future student nurses who are going to be staying there...but that stupid teacher wanted it so badly because i admit, i did an excellent job on it...she wants to show it off to the ugly grinch-looking principal of theirs who's office looks like the Malacanang Palace already with all the pink and green curtains, and big-ass narra furniture and who's make-up looks like a dead clown, I SWEAR. And she wanted to post it on her classroom wall so that she would be the only one who would be having a nice looking 3D food pyramid. ARGH!

calm down, mgee...what's done is done... grrr i wanted to steal it upon leaving.... CALM DOWN, dammit...

So on our last day at the Health Center, we held our ward class for the whole day. When we finished, we got so bummed that we decided to go back near the Elementary School just so we could fill ourselves up with YUMMY, high risk for CHOLERA and HEPATITIS rich STREET FOOD! Yuuuuumeeeee! Talk about NUTRITIOUS food! XD


That's Sassy making turok-turok d fishballs.

Everything only costs ONE PESO from squidballs to hotdog, except for the kwek-kwek which costs one peso and fifty cents. LOL. There was also this yummy pancake thing and it costs a buck. It was very, very satisfying. XD

CHN Rotation

Whoohoo!! Our CHN (Community Health Nursing) rotation is over! The picture at the right is where we stayed and slept almost all day at the second floor. LOL. and yes, that's the skyway at the back.

One more rotation to go and it's going to be at the 8th Floor of Makati Med. We are going to handle patients with communicable diseases. OMGWTFBBQ. @_@

So during the last days of our CHN rotation, we held a Mass Health Teaching thing at Pio del Pilar Elementary School in Makati City. It's one of our fuckin' requirements before we leave the rotation. So last Febuary 1, 2007, the day of the the mass healthing teaching thing, we came all prepared and with my very proud Food Pyramid and our absent group leader...but that's alright.
