SUNSET ~PART1~Who am i?
SUNSET ~PART1~Who am i?
I have been busy a lot these past few months. Days became nights and vice versa. Night shift duty hours have compromised my friendly eyes and been spending too much just to make myself comfortable and breathing.
It’s no joke to spend more than 12 hours in a hospital .When I go home after 9pm, the favourite Teleseryes were aired and everyone else’s asleep. I have no one to share the dining table with and just be contented talking to my spoon and fork as i enjoy the cold food prepared for me. Also, night shift 12-hour duty has crippled my titbits. The days of good sleep, spontaneous chit-chats and cuddling with my brothers has long been felt. I have been messing a lot and been missing lots of times. The quality moments with my family has been slowly ignored as I attend to my duty and nurture my career. It is surely a huge sacrifice to give your time for others yet you haven’t proven anything to your family in giving them your learning, your expertise in health, heartfelt service and even monetary measures.
The days travelled so fast...as fast as its killing me.
Groups would usually say that i am into other side of the world a lot... in having a business life. It is a fact! I have been giving my time for business and for improving my people skills. They just don’t know the reason why i am too busy doing things out of my profession. The confusion of career satisfaction and emotionally unstable stage are crushing me to the bones.
CONFUSION OF CAREER SATISFACTION
I can do my work well and proud to say that i do better as days unfold. I am a real nurse when I’m in the hospital and i am not just someone who goes in goes out the duty without any concern of help to improve the value of care the clients deserve. They ought to have quality service out of their choice of healthcare provider and trust on the system. Being a nurse is like riding a roller coaster. The folks make you wounded and the patients’ Thank Yous heal the scars. Lucky enough if you have received it twice a day, but then most of it comes in “Tupperware” value.
DONT MAKE ME CRY...*RY
HUuurrrrgghhh! You’re giving me heartaches bea! I have ponder before to stop myself from having a relationship yet you have come to show me, i think the Right person to be with. The only problem now is that, if he wants me too. I am crushed by my f**kin hectic schedule and stressed with how night shift duty hours make my ugly. I just want to look good and be appreciated. Now, I cant sleep and i am thinking deeply of what things i have to do to get out of this trap. I am hopeful that he would give me a chance in proving myself that i am worthy as a partner and i am also afraid to be rejected. I think that i have to pursue this...i will be your future.

Eleven fifty-nine, a minute more and it will be midnight. I was still on the dining area and was looking for something to eat on the kitchen. I came across the open room of our new family member “Petpet”. Her real name’s Gerlyn and she’s a distant relative in our province. She’s living with us now for about 4 years. She can be called a helper but heartedly accepted as a family member. My parents treat no one like that, my father even call Petpet as “anak”. It reflects his personality, full of humility and big open arms for the needy.
She was asleep with a teddy bear on her slightly curled arms while her back is half flatted on the bed mattress, with closed eyes and while silently breathing, she reflects a tired one after a long day. The ‘teddy” is a gift from her college buddy, a Christmas gift that somehow made her heart a little bit more warmer. It reminded me of the sacrifices that the girl on bed had exchanged for her future. Comforting herself with a gift... somehow, I understand that it represents the people she has been longing to be with, her family. Not to her attention, but it really makes sense to think it that way. She had chosen to be with us and helped my mom doing the household chores. What about her “nanay”? Isn’t she also needs assistance at home? I am thankful that she came in and helped us with things, lots of things...big things!
How about this? How will you feel if you’re e away from your loved ones and spending time with people you need to deal, understand, get to know and share the same roof with? It is and might be so difficult for her to handle the problems.
My father is so good that he decided to send Petpet to school. Pet went to college and became an HRS graduate. Until now, she’s with us and waiting for the right time to grab an opportunity to work abroad. She is determined to help her family someday. I just hope that her dreams do come true and I promise to myself that I won’t say no for a genuine person like her for a help.
