The Three O’clock Phenomenon

I have just finished watching the movie “The Exorcism of Emily Rose”, we were asked for our Psychiatric Nursing to give a Psyche-Relevant Review of the film. Actually this is the first time that I’ve seen the movie (the last time I visited the Cinema was when I went out with Bianca to watch “V for Vendetta”).

Now what really got my attention was the 3:00 AM Demonic time that was mentioned in the film. According to the priest, 3Am is the demons’ mockery of Christ’s 3PM death on the cross or his 3 PM resurrection (in which case, I am not that sure). But I should say that I have also encountered such 3 AM ghost-slash-spirit-slash-whatever apparition.

It was October 23 or 21 of 2003 then when I just woke up from my sleep when I heard a little girl giggling. I also heard her hopping (try to knock the floor with your heels, that’s the sound). So I opened my eyes a little bit, just a little bit. I saw at my footing a girl in white. I thought it was my little sister, same height- very tall for a young girl, same built- anorexic thin. But I was unsuccessful to have a glimpse of her face since my eyes cannot adjust with light issuing from the dining room into my bedroom door. I though my sister was observing me so I tried my best to raise my torso and me happily stuck my tongue out to her. She put her hands on her waist and laughed lazily as I did this.

After that, I put back my body to supine and rubbed my eyes rapidly to get a clearer view, but when I opened my eyes I was really surprised when I saw no one. I stayed put for a while thinking that my sister must have left to the living room. I felt the urge to urinate so I went out of my bedroom but then I saw the clock and it was still passed three o’clock. I went hastily at my bed pondering what just have happened. Surely my sister couldn’t be awake at that time. Then I remembered that the night before, she was sporting her new sky blue colored pajamas.

I went back to sleep. The next day I told them this but nobody believed. My Ate Maiah even told me that maybe I was just hallucinating, probably due to the stress because of my mother’s recent death (April 25, 2003). Okay maybe I was. So I forgot about the whole thing.

But after a week my sister went to my bed one morning and woke me up. She was like, “Mon, ganito ba yung tawa nung bata?” (Mon, was this how the child laughed) then she began to imitated the cute angelic (it wasn’t eerie). I do not remember that I described nor did I imitate the girl’s laugh so I was like, “what the hell?”

So she told me her story….

Doom’s Day Scenario

Registered Nurse fell from a three story Government Building. Fifteen others met their demise due to other tragic reasons.

“Nurse, I Think I Love Ya! Mwah Mwah” as verbalized

Lallaine handed me her duty notebook last week. As I was perusing it, I came across her diary entry, which was one of the requirements of our CI who loves to dance. It was written the day after I became the Head Nurse (it was Lallaine and Hanzel’s turn to be the assistant and head nurses respectively). I censored the patient’s name.

Dear Diary,

I honestly don’t have any idea how to start my today’s entry. I now find my self lost for words!

Actually, I am quite busy today because I am assigned to check the IV Levels of all the patients hourly and to make sure that all of them are properly regulated. I didn’t expect that this task would be this hard. (Well it is not that hard but it’s kinda hard).

I have a new patient. His name is J**B** V***. He’s only two years old and is very cute. Actually, when I arrived in his room he was crying and shuffling his feet, he is obviously irritated. But the second time I entered his room, he appeared to be more calm and relaxed already. While I was checking and regulating the IVF his father noticed that he was staring at me. When his father asked him, “Do you like her?”, while pointing at me, JB replied with a nod and a naughty smile on his face. His father asked him again and he replied in the same manner. His father laughed out loud and I couldn’t help but laugh also.

Lallaine

I had fun reading this because I did witness the incident. The little boy is really cute… and I think he was hospitalized because of diarrhea. I can still clearly remember as Lallaine excitedly pulled me to the little boy’s roomto brag her new manliligaw (suitor). I found the father lying beside the little boy. The kid gladly smiled at Lallaine but when he saw me, his face turned sour and he started pretending to be a ghost. He raised his arms like a zombie while whining “Awwwooo” at me. His father said that he was jealous and he was trying to scare me out of the room.

His father asked him again if he likes Lallaine and his face brightened while nodding. When we were already leaving, JB gave lallaine some really crispy flying kisses… it was so funny and his father was just so proud.

Quotable Quotes of the Day

I attended the orientation for the coming Senior Nursing Students. We were refreshed and updated about the new  and old policies… plus about the special areas like the Mental ward where we’ll be attending our internship. We spent our time from 8-11:30 listening to them… here’s some of the quotes.

A CI talking about the new policy where Students are not allowed anymore to enter the hospital without the CI;

So magkikita-kita tayo sa flag pole. Di nyo alam kung saan yun? Hanapin nyo lang yung watawat, andun yun.

A CI talking about the proper nursing paraphernalia;

Dalhin nyo yung complete paraphernalia nyo. Complete ha… Complete NURSING paraphernalia… hindi sex paraphernalia.

A CI talking about the No Smoking policy of the hospital in San Fernando City;

Ok namang manigarilyo, basta dun lang kayo sa labas… at puro hithit lang… walang buga.

A CI talking about the No Cellphone policy at the Mental Hospital;

Basta ilagay nyo lang sa bulsa nyo at ivibrate nyo lang. Uuuuyy gusto nila yun… naka on yung vibration (Biglang huminto tapos biglang dumale) Ay nagva-Vibrate. Sa bulsa ilalagay wag sa kung ano-anong butas.

The same CI talking about foods for the mental patient;

Alam nyo pwede nyo rin silang ipagbaon ng Zest O o Funchum. O kaya meron dun BJ. Gusto nila dun ng BJ. Ako nga eh gusto ko ng BJ. Kayo, gusto nyo ng BJ? As in Buko Juice….

Unexpectedly Pinned

Last Thursday night, since I could not sleep, I randomly sent this text message…

Mon: Message to all. Please do not forget to send me a load and to visit my site. www.monmon.wordpress.com

And Sir Tristan of Red Cross was the only one who replied…

Red Cross: Ha? Hu u?

Mon: I am your load mate. So do not forget to send me a load. Ok.

Red Cross: Hahaha. Load mate? My first tym to hear that. Not interested. Gudnyt.

Mon: Hahaha… Wel there s always a frst tym. U may n0t b intrsted 2day, but who knows wht may hapen 2mrw. GO GO GO LOADMATE!

Red cross: Hahaha. Go go go sago. Nyt.

Mon: Loadmate, gasgas na yan. Ibng cheer nman parang gn2, “GO GO TABAKOw.” (Loadmate, that’s too trite. Do a different cheer like this, GO GO GO TOBACCOw)

Red Cross: Hehehe. That’s funny.

Mon: Uhm i think it’s lame.I have only 5 Pesos left in my load, dont you rly want 2 go to the nearest store 2 send me a load…? Please. Cmon u can do it. Just imagine im just ryt there bhind u. U CAN DO IT! UCAN DO IT! GO GO GO!

Red Cross: Wat! Im about to slip and u want me to go out for a 5 peso load? No way.

Mon: Haha i jus cant sleep, that’s why i thought to aimlessly send that msg.U replied so i txted bk. Go 2 sleep, nyc xchange of txt. wink wink

Red Cross: Ok winkidoo gudnyt.

And what i thought was 5 pesos was actually my last. I have been texting a lot of people; asking them to load me. But it was only Sir Tristan of Red Cross who didn’d recognize or who didn’t have my number. He is by the way a Smart Subscriber and I am on Globe, that’s why I asked him to go to the store.

The next day… Friday… I was texting my sister and i again remember to ask for an extraload.

Mon: Good morning load mate. Check out my blog, www.monmon.wordpress.com

Red Cross: Pagnagkatym cguro ako. Gud AM. (Maybe if I am not busy. Good morning)

Mon: Load na lang sige na. (Just give me a load instead.)

Red Cross: Hehehe. Di naman kita asawa. (Hehehe. You’re not my wife.)

Mon: Eh kya nga loadm8 mo ko di ba? (That’s why I am your loadmate.)

Red cross: E load mate pala e. edi load mo din ako tapos load din kita. (We are indeed load mate. So load me first then I’ll load too.)

Mon: Eh anu bng number mo. (So what is your number?)

Red Cross: Numbr? nagttxt ka sakin ntapos di mo alam numbe ko? (Number? You are texting me and now you don’t know my number?)

Mon: Eh name mo lang nsa phonebook q. Tristan ka nga ba? (I only have your name in my phonebook. You’re Tristan, right?)

Red Cross: Wat? sinu ka b? (What? who are you?)

Mon: Cge, gni2 na lang Hehehe. Check mo yung site. (check out the site.)

Red Cross: Ayyy ewan! (Ayyy i do not care.)

Mon: Cge, gni2 na lang, isend m n lang s iba ung URL. U shld face d consequence, s lhat ng tinext ko ikaw lng ang nagreply. U shld folow my rules. Load o site? Chus. (Ok, just send my URL to others. You should face the consequences, among the people I texted you were the only on who replied back. You should follo my rukles. Load or site. Choose.

Red Cross: Tapang ah. (You are dauntless)

Whatever I am brave about, I was not able to ask. My prepaid cellphone load has already returned to zero and my bus stopped at a vehicular accident.

That evening, I visited the Red Cross building to get my pink Red Cross T shirt that we ordered for the Saturday Graduation. When i went inside the office I saw Bryan, Ben and Henesse, they were also waiting for their t shirts. I approached Bryan.

Bryan was one of the numerous people in my phonebook that I texted to give me a load. i asked him if he received it. We talked about my message for a moment… then I just realized that sir tristan was with us. So i stopped asking about my text. But then Henesse told me that she just had written a comment on my blog. We talked about my blog then I realized that I forgot that Sir Tristan was with us. So I changed the topic and told them about the accident that morning.

When we were about to go, Sir Tristan told the lady playing at the computer to open the internet. The girl asked if it he was referring to Yahoo! Messenger. He said no and caught my eyes when he said, “WordPress.”

I tried my best not to laugh so I snorted. He too gave a little uncomfortable laugh. i hastily told Henesse and the rest that we should go. Outside the office I could not suppress my laughter anymore.And i was just laughing my heart out.

The next day everyone revealed it by shouting the word “Loadmate” when I was unexpectedly called to give a short talk about my experience in the Red Cross training and when I was unexpectedly announced as the topnotcher for our batch in First Aid (I was awarded with a certificate and a pin).

Knocked Bodies and a Head

In my way to school for my scheduled physical examination, my bus has to stop upon arriving on an accident scene. A car and a van were hit by a Bataan transit bus. unfortunately, all that was left of the car was the seats and the wheels. It was smashed to pulp, with the victims thrown out and the driver’s head cut off. My heart palpitated for a moment and I thought that it would have been better if the victims were my neighbors.

PS I am currently listening to this song can anyone plaese send me the full translation of the song?
