Last Thursday afternoon President Gloria Arroyo was admitted in our unit due to colds and flu. Yesterday, I was designated to be her bedside nurse for the morning shift. At first I was afraid to go in the suite to give her medications and do my rounds..with so many PSGs and VIPs watching.
When I saw her I greeted her and she greeted me back. She’s not stiff at all. But she’s sick alright..she was wearing sa hospital gown..was coughing a lot and her eyes puffy.
When I was about to give her IV antibiotic..I have to ask for her name ( it was funny coz..hello! wasn’t it obvious she’s Gloria Arroyo!). But still I asked for her name..that’s the SOP for medication administration. Im glad I didn’t have a hard time going in and out of her room…you can easily ask her questions and she’d reply.
Never did I imagine that I’ll get a chance to see and talk to her face to face. But I did…it was a privilege to take care of her even for just 8 hours.
My manager gave me only 2 patients the whole shift..the other one was Aiko Melendez-Jeckain. She delivered a baby girl thru CS. I also didn’t have a hard time looking after her…she’d always call for me but she’s very kind. And yup..she’s beautiful.
Speaking of babies…I’ve thought of a new name for my first born son….He’ll be called Seonne ( same as Sean…pronounced as ‘SHON’…) - of gaelic origin which means “God is Gracious”.

I’ve been wandering lately that I always forgot to dropby my blog and write something, or rather I was too tired to scribble a little something for you guys to read.
6 days to go before my birthday, I wonder what will happen on that day. Ross said my day is always a jinx. When I was in gradeschool and highschool I’ve always wished that my birthday be moved to another date. Coz if it’s not raining bad..we have our periodical exams and I don’t really get to enjoy the day.
Badluck continued til college years. 3 years ago I got into a scam…there were these people I trusted and they stole money from me…I felt really bad. 2 years ago…our housekeeper got sick and went into hepatic coma, good thing he’s alive and kicking right now or else my birthday would not be a jinx anymore..it’ll be a CURSE.
But this year no one can stop me…Im gonna have my day nice and easy..the way I want it to be. Why? Coz Im happy…very happy. Everything’s going right for me. And I just realize how lucky I am..so many people loves me…earning their love is the best gift I’ve ever received.
“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides.”

Like the movie, “Clockstoppers”, I wish I could just stop time. Do things my way and set things my own pace. And just maybe…save some lives..never leave anyone important behind while Im at it. No need to sacrifice anything.

Nope…it’s still 25 days before my birthday but I already bought myself a gift. A new watch. God..Im so happy. It’s a classy diamond studded gold tone Guess watch. Another addition to my collection. I don’t care if I don’t have the fanciest dresses nor expensive shoes as long as I have my watches…I can live. Sweet heaven.
I called up Ross and told him..I have something to confess..and then he said, “Anu nanaman ang binili mo???!!!” Hahaha.
But when I got home…he said “Ganda naman ng watch mo.”
True. True.

WHAT’S NEW?
1. Ross told me he’s happy today. I asked him why. Turns out his cousin Mark already knew how to handle his business. So that’s less work for Ross..and more time for me.
2. Marian, my former ER co-staff, called me overseas this afternoon and told me she’d be coming home next week. We’ll have a lot of catching up to do. Miss her a lot.

Read this article on Reader’s Digest. What do women need to know about men. Here’s some of the myths.
A man is like a hermit crab. If they trot out their emotions and get burned, they’ll roll back in to that shell. They can’t be bullied or cajoled into sharing their emotions. They have to be seduced overtime in order for them to feel safe.
Care for some seduction ideas?
* Talk side by side rather than face-to-face. Getting in a man’s face makes him feel confrontational.
* Do something physical together. When you go walking or cycling, a man’s defenses come down.
* Watch a guy flick. Don’t try to dissect the movie or analyze his childhood. Just be present.
* Don’t press a man to talk about a bad day. Instead. let him know you’ve noticed his mood and let him open up if he wants to
* Talk may be a woman’s favourite form of foreplay, but men view sex as a form of communication. Sex is their way of expressing their affection.
* Let men know what emotional support you need. Husbands can be as sensitive and supportive as wives, but often their timing is off. Wives need to let them know what they want and when they need it.
* Say what he means to you. At a quiet moment, ask your husband, “Have I ever made you feel that I don’t admire and respect you more today than we first met?” tell him you’re blessed to have him in your life and you’re sorry if you don’t let him know that often enough. Most men’s jaws will drop.

Having read the page…I thought I’ve been doing it incorrectly. But, hell no…I still got my man.:kopete33:
