apathy
firt of all, i would like to apologize for the typos and grammar errors of the previous entry. i think i was in a hurry. and i call myself a grammar whore. hehe
i think i may have lost something this week: the capability to care for things that really matter. it seems that people around me are blogging and talking about the latest coup or whatever it is that you call them things, but me. i rarely watch tv nor read the newspaper anyway. and then one would think i should feel even an ounce of worry or sadness after finding out last night that my lola was rushed to the ICU yesterday. but i just replied ok after hearing the news and answered the questions about her condition as if i was just in an oral revalida for a case presentation in school. being this apathetic is scary. i used to feel a host of emotions for my patients, but now someone from my family is in the ICU and i am here at home blogging about it instead of being in the hospital. maybe in the 2 years that i have done hospital duty, i have somehow grown tired of being in a hospital. of caring for sick people. now i see my patients as a job, as something that i could apply the nursing interventions that i have learned to so that my clinical instructor have something to record as my grade, so that i could finally earn my nursing degree, so i could finally finish studying. and i hate going to the hospital. in fact i hate going out of the house altogether (well except to watch a movie but that's a different story). no i am not depressed. it's just that i am somehow in an anti-social mood. or maybe i'm just depressed and i didn't know it. haha.
yesterday he texted me at 7 am, asking me if i wanted to go to MOA. he wanted to buy flipflops and a shirt and i wanted to watch one more chance and when i told him that, he cancelled the last minute. oh well. i watched the movie anyway without him but i went to sucat instead of moa. i haven't had a date with myself for the longest time anyway. the movie was ok. or maybe i just expected too much. or maybe i just wasn't in a lovey-dovey mood. maybe i just didn't like john lloyd's character. and bea saw. no there's nothing wrong with her character, i just didn't like her. haha.
i think i like not talking. haven't talked that much since thursday. my voice sounds a bit hoarse when i decide to talk. from lack of use maybe? hehe.
oh man the most dreaded rotation is scheduled for tomorrow. my friend chel and i was hoping that another typhoon would come, so that classes and duty would be cancelled so that actual ward exposure would be lessened. maybe this is why i have been feeling like this. icoincidentally (is there such a word? hehe), i will be in the same hospital as my lola is tomorrow morning. i just hope that the apathetic phase will be behind me tomorrow or at least on tuesday otherwise doing ward jobs would be three times as hard with the state i am in right now.
oh well off to do something productive. i'm going to watch lost. hahaha kidding. i gotta read a chapter of the anatomy made easy book.
