For life is not just about how we will live comfortably, or just about the good and the pleasurable things life may bring us, as we all hope it to be. But it's how we deal with rough roads, molehills and even the mountains each of us will have to trudge as we go through life; with a lot shimmying when edges are sharp, while others can go cherry-picking. But what is important is to be armed with great deal of faith and courage to face life's trial head on...

A goof in OR...
I remember this funny tale when I was at the sterile room waiting for my cue. Location: Old Medical City. I don't remember what year it took place...maybe 3 or 4 years ago?! That hospital is not in existence anymore. The new MC is now standing robustly near Meralco edifice. Anyway going back, I went there for a minor incision to get rid of a cyst on my left breast...a size of a peanut, and one sebaceous cyst on my back. When a male nurse gave me a green sterile lab gown and told me to wear it I obliged easily without qualms. Then he came back and told me if I was ready and asked again if I have removed everything. I was shocked when I learned that I have to remove also my undies. But still I obliged. When something sinked in my thought...why should they require me to remove my undies when the cysts are in my breast? Ah no...this is something ridiculous! So what I did was wear it again before they ushered me to the OR. When I went home and told my sister (who was a retired nurse) what happened, she said..."gaga hospital procedure yon"...lol...ganun ba 'yon?
