Appendectomy and the confinement issues.
April 11-16.
San Pedro Hospital, Davao City
It was my first time off after working for four strenuous days (before) of my first summer job/ first job. My objectives for that day were to get SSS number for my work (I’m still 16 and I don’t why the company where I used to work ordered me to get SSS number), and to meet Rae Anne. After accomplishing these things, I managed to get home early, 8 p.m., since I already felt some unpleasant events happening inside my body. I waited for my mother that at that time, was still on her way home from Cagayan de Oro City. I told my other family members about the pain that I felt, but they were too busy watching the show Avatar: The Last Airbender. And so I ended sleeping while waiting for my dear mom and enduring the pain. She later arrived on 11 o’clock in the evening; I waited for her for many hours and considering the increasing pain that I felt during those moments. After series of arguments, I was then rushed to San Pedro Hospital, and later confined to death.
I underwent an operation called appendectomy, costing us Php **,***. It wasn’t a painful experience actually (Thank God I didn’t suffer; unlike the guy in the movie Awake experienced); I just slept for a few hours and woke up hungry. What I feared most before I was operated was to suffer malpractice (I’d rather discuss malpractice in my next entries). I thought of I’ll-be-dead-before-I-wake-up imaginations, and etc. But, my mother removed these fears I felt through her sincere love and care. (I thank my mother) for she was really there for me throughout my stay in the hospital (Well, that’s what mothers are.). My recovery was quite gradual, yet my mom’s efforts were really helping me all throughout the recovery period.
Summer Job.
April 07 – 10/April 29 – May 28.
Natasha – Davao Branch, Davao City
Only a few people know this.
I summer jobbed in Natasha (Vivendi Corporation) with a job title as Sales Staff (My job is too complicated and I’d like to just limit the description to sales staff). The daily rate was Php 224.00, but the salary’s given every 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month. For this job, I only received two ‘givs’ (I don’t know the spelling but they say it’s a colloquial term for salary or what). The net amount (less the withholding tax) that I usually receive is at least Php 3,500 (OTs will overdo the math).
What I’ve noticed about working is that, for my case, you’ll really find yourself bending, flexing and stuffs just to adjust or adapt to our working environment. When you work, you really need to work hard just to earn money. You need to be ‘madiskarte’, be a schizo, and give your best. What’s funny is that you always of money; money, money, money.
But sometimes, working hard isn’t really the key to earn. I’ve noticed that some of my workmates do little work but still they earn big amount of money. I am not belittling my workmates; it’s just I never imagined that that mentality is present even in work. I used to see that in school.
What’s more disheartening? Some people work hard to earn college degrees only to find out that even their work-bosses don’t have any college degree. Demoralizing. Those that should be having white-collared/pink-collared jobs earn blue-collared jobs and vice versa.
Samal Outing.
May 31 – June1.
Hagimit Falls: Kaliguan sa Lasang/Sunrise Beach Resort, Canibad, Aundanao, Island Garden City of Samal
The most anticipated event of my entire summertime. Let this be the next entry.
See the pictures and feel what we felt.
Rae Anne’s departure. Diane’s arrival and later, departure.
Summer 2008.
From Davao City to Quezon City (Common point)
My two greatest and closest friends left me. I expected this. I already knew before that Rae’d be following Diane. Well, I’m happy for Rae. I know that Rae’s dream is to graduate in UPD. She worked hard to get a good academic ranking in UPMin to assist her in her application to BAJourn. For my soulmate, Diane, I thank her for coming home this summer, though for a short time only. Ok. So much for the dramatic monologue; not a good place actually.
GPOA for the monkey business.
Summer 2008.
Davao City
Coming soon in theatres near you.
And solitary confinement again.
Plus the whatnots: the disappearances of some members of the DFSC, dislocation of Janice Javerle’s knee, the so-called public speaking competition, my cyber-lie-low, disappearances again of some of my BSFT classmates, and start of enrolment.
April 06 – June 04, 2008. The above-mentioned events happened during the 60 days of my existence.
I think I’ve had enough of these summer experiences.
Shoot. Methinks I just missed my laptop so much that’s why I’m making this stupid entry. Falalalalala.
