Beach Frustrations

I was challenging my self to lose weight since I was gaining weight lately. Already got a bulging tummy that isn't flattering. And since we were going on a beach outing, I was trying to lose some weight but I don't know if it's psychological or coincidental that whenever I strive to lose weight, the more I get addicted to eating. Crap! Though most of us loved to eat when in the beach, I was the total opposite. I don't feel like eating and I only ate my lunch meal, no more meals in between. Should I always go to the beach thens since it shows that being in the beach is a natural appetite suppressants for me. Hehe.

Having Fun This Summer

What are more ways to have fun this summer? Just went island hopping with friends from work and it was a major blast! All of us enjoyed the said outing. It brought out the childlike in us and just loosen ourselves and enjoyed the day. It was envying to watch some friends who knew how to swim. Since the seabed was so inviting, the corals and the fishes underneath the water was so tempting to dive in and have a closer look on them. But sad to say, I can't swim and just depended on my life vest for support. Hehe. Anyways, it's still the beginning of summer and I am thinking about some other ways to do this season. Perhaps atv riding is one good idea but kinda expensive as well. We might as well try the wakeboarding soon.

I'm Starting To Feel Drained

It's my third day of overtime for this week and I can now feel the exhaustion. My body's trying to tell me to give up and take a rest. Body aches and muscle aches in one! Still, I am thankful to God for helping me survived this shift no matter how toxic it was. Though I'm still hoping and praying for a lesser toxic days ahead of us and to spare me for another overtime. I really need to take a rest. Looking forward for my days off. Hehe.

Extended Duties

For two consecutive days, I've been opted to work overtime. I should be off at around 6 pm but since our unit was so busy due to a lot of elective cases, I was forced to go overtime. What can I do then? There are only two nurses on duty and one OR technician in the afternoon shift and there are cases on going plus patients in the PACU. There's no one who would received my patient for PACU and so I have to do it my own. Even the transporting of patient seemed hard for me since I can't get anyone from the staff to help me in transporting my patient, and so I have to ask help from the housekeeping. Good thing they were kind enough to lend a hand. It's exhausting having duty extensions, then your compensation for your overtime work is just around thirty bucks per hour. That's not even satisfying when you consider the load of your work you render. Hays. How I wish the administration would go attend the needs of our unit in order for us to work effectively and efficiently.

Happy Easter Everyone!

Am I Really That Toxic?

For quite sometime now, I've been noticing my duty days and cases I've handled. Mostly we're toxic. If not the patient, it would be with the doctor's order and other endorsements. Waah! My colleagues are starting to tease me as "toxic". Huhu. Sure enough, with God's grace, I was able to survive those things.

It's exhausting and mind boggling. What can I do? It's part of my profession. I just hope we will be compensated well and hoped for an additional staff. Hehe.

Absurd Imagination

Last night, I dropped by the convenience store and bought some goodies for me and cigarettes for my dad. He shouldn't be smoking but he's hard headed. And I gave up from reprimanding and reminding him of the risks. Anyways, I was imagining back then taht perhaps it would be a great idea to invent a nicotine-free electronic cigarettes. So it won't be harmful to our health and will only needs to recharge it to save on buying stick of cigarettes. Hehe. What an absurd idea!
