300
It’s now 8:37pm - I’m taking a break and making this blog at an internet cafe in Robinson’s Place Ermita. I’ve been watching over my grandma who’s been confined since December 25, 2006 (yep, you heard me right). It’s funny, but I think this has been the best Christmas that has ever happened to me. No sarcasm. Yes, I missed noche buena; yes, I missed hanging out with my cousins, yes, I spent Christmas eve inside a cold hospital room; but guess what - I kinda like it. Being in the hospital. Talking with the nurses, asking the residents stuff about medicine, staying with my patient (granny). Fits altogether. A taste of what’s to come. And I feel pretty good just being able to find meaning in all of this.
Time to get back to Manila Doctors. My aunt’s getting ready to leave.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
