People in Dreams

I've always thought that when you dream of people you know, it means you were in one way or another thinking of them during your waking hours. Then I read recently that it might just be the opposite. If you dream about them, then it means they were thinking about you. I'm not surprised if it's my friends and family I dream about, but having people I barely know and rarely talk to have entire conversations with me during my dream is kinda... *shrug* don't really know how I feel. They're just dreams after all. Right?

Anyways, it's my day off today. Next is on the 27th, then on the 30th for this month. I'm on the 3pm to 11pm shift. Still at the same ward at JBLMRH. They're sticking me at the OB-Phil ward. Part of me is glad, coz it means the staff is trusting me enough to do things on my own and just checking up on me once in a while. But then with no one else assigned at that station it can get really boring. Or hectic, coz you have to do EVERYTHING for the patients assigned there. Yes, even the jobs the interns should be doing.

Lately there's been some sort of office drama if you could term it as such going on at the ward. All coz of one supervisor going on a sort of power tripping that's causing our shift's staff additional problems. The parties involved are both at fault in their own ways... they're just too stubborn to compromise with each other. *sigh* You'd think they'd be mature enough to talk it out properly and not have a scene in front of the patients... but no... anyways, it isn't really any of my business.

I've managed to download a copy of Byousoku 5 Centimeter (5 Centimeters per Second) this past week and I've probably watched it a dozen times by now. I just love every single second of it. I've been able to watch Makoto Shinkai's other works before so the crispness of the art, the combined simplicity and complexity of the plot, and the nostalgia the music brings forth is not really something new but I just can't stop watching it every time I get the chance to.

Yo...

I'm back to the 7am-3pm shift and am still under Ma'am B and Sir E with Stef, Drandreb and Joyce. Ma'am M was unfortunately replaced by Ma'am H whom I dislike ever since she stole my and an intern's pens from our pockets then when asked claimed that the pens were hers and that it was just coincidence that they looked like ours. Jeez... my respect for her flew out the window that very instance. Now whenever she's around I make sure all my belongings are where they should be. Imagine throwing away a person's trust to gain a 75peso pen?! How low can one get? Thing is, she gets on extremely well with the higher ups and is on first name basis with the doctors so I just plaster a smile on my face and bear with whatever task she tells me to do. I kinda wish I'm still on the 11-7 shift coz at least Richard, Robert, Ma'am G and Sir S are there *sigh* Guess one really can't have everything in this world...

Fr. Larry's going to leave for the 6-month retreat/seminar in Tagaytay this Saturday. So far we've given two despedida parties for him: one at the Oasis Hotel in Clark and the second one next door at Tita Pes and Tito Toto's house which turned out into a sort of family reunion whole day affair thing coz the guests came at 9am and didn't go home till waaaaaaaaay after the sun finally set. Food on both occasions were good though ^_^0 Hear there's another despidida, this time for brunch to send off Fr. Larry and his sister who's returning to London the next day. Can't go coz I have work. Sayang... oh well.

Been watching Eureka Seven for a couple of days now whenever it's my day off or just before I go to bed. More or less a good story. I'm on episode 47 now (out of 50). Holland and Talho are my favorite pairing. I can find enough sympathy for Renton to actually cry for him during various parts of the story (like when he ran away from the Gekko-go), but those three kids and Eureka make me want to bash their noses up their skulls coz I just find them irritating for several reasons I'd rather not rant about here coz it'll just be a waste of my (and your) time.

Also watched Caregiver with mom last weekend. It was okay. Believable. I've had patients as difficult as that old man Sharon's character had to take care of. And I know/heard of/know of people who've gone through similar situations as the characters in the story have. Am still debating whether I should watch Indiana Jones...
