A Break From Stress
Hello.
It’s been a while again since I posted.
This whole month of March has been hell. Every duty, I worked solo in the wards. It’s heavy duty and stressful. I had to tolerate a lot of stressful work-related bullshit as well that involved other co-residents: sudden absences, laziness, refusals to work... Maybe I’m just too nice. I was raised this way. I always take over and I end up with the most number of patients I have to do rounds on. When I complain, all they tell me is “ganun talaga”, which is utter bullcrap because in MMC, work is divided and we all work together. Those who become lazy get scolded and are given even more work to do. *sigh* But I’m not in MMC anymore.
Anyway, stress aside, there was one good news. A paper I made was chosen to be presented as a poster in a congress in Tokyo which will be held on May 9 to 11. You know what that means? It means I’m going to Japan. Twice. I’m actually in Japan right now for my first trip solo to Tokyo... Well, it WAS supposed to be solo but KIVEGA decided he wanted to come along. He had such determination. I had fixed everything I needed for my trip. He was able to catch up and fix his, including getting his visa, filing his leave on the same dates, getting flight tickets as early as possible... to be honest it surprised me how he tried his best just so he could come with me. It’s actually adorable. Lol.
So now, it’s goodbye to the stress. I need this vacation badly. I need to be away from work, even from home. Just me is enough. Soul searching? Lol maybe. But it’s a good time for me to relax my mind. So that when I go back, I can work harder and more properly again.
