CONCLUSION OF MY CIRCUMCISION JOURNEY plus MY JEMI'S INTRODUCTION

I decided not to blog until something different happens in my boring monotonous life. Everyday in my Iloilo Life I did nothing but wake up at around 7:00AM, take a bath, get dressed then go to my brother's store and attend to people who want to download songs on their mp3 players. I'll wait until 6:00PM then go home then watch T.V. then sleep. I mean, this is the most non-productive boring days of my life. Yes, non-stressful but the absence of stress is stressing me out as well. It is, in fact, driving me nuts.

Though for the past couple days of I was able to rejoin my Foreskin-cutters colleagues. Although it's outside of my job description as a nurse to actually preform circumcision due to the scarcity of physicians in Estancia, Iloilo, I actually did.

It was initially discouraging especially when it all gets bloody and my dexterity hinders me to work faster when it comes to suturing the foreskin. Being left-handed challenged me in some medical procedures but thank God I can always adjust.

After observing a medical student and assisting him in one of our missions and observed a long-time practicing surgeon perform dorsal-slit circumcision, I actually got the hang of it. I was even able to perform faster than my Med Student mentor. It's just a matter of confidence and learning best practices from those who knows. Reading helped me as far as identifying the challenges in the operation and how it can be managed.

I'd say getting the compliment synonymous to what I used to get back in college feels good. Getting a thumbs up from people around you gives a good self-boost. Thanks!

I'm extremely anxious if I can get in to this prestigious hospital in Manila. I submitted my letter of application and my resume. I really want to practice my profession. I'm going to do it well this time.

It was a long time ago I really wanted to get a pet but my Dad's voice echoing on my ears saying "Why take care of a pet if you cant even take care of yourself yet?" and that was said when I was a kid. I guess now I can get my own pet I wanted to get a cat. Any breed, Persian, Siamese or Himalayan will do. I Googled it and came across a page selling 2 Persian kittens. One is a 4 and a half old and the other is 3 and a half. I opted the younger since I cant get a hold og him until I get back to Manila. I contacted the person selling the cat and requested if I can see him via webcam and I did. I loved it and the following day I paid for my very first kitten. I had trouble figuring out what to call my kitten. I got random names in my mind and even contacted my friends. Blah... blah.... blah... I can't wait to see my cat, and yes Rean, I'll call him Jemi as you suggested. *wink

So there! my cat-son is not to randomly called a kitten or Miming but Jemi!!!
