Rainy Gloomy Friday
It's raining so hard in this side of the world. I'm still on my way home when the rain poured like a mad man trying to ruin the night of the commuters. Oh yes, I'm one of the commuters trapped outside Robinsons Mall, though I have an umbrella and a hooded parka, but still the rain has been just so hard for me to get a ride home.
So, I went back in and decided to eat dinner in Jolibee. I can see other people too who went inside, perhaps we all have the same thoughts in mind. My tummy started complaining too, and gave in to the sweet "sarap" spaghetti meal with burger that I ordered. Thank God, finally I have one lesser burden tonight. I think I can bear the heavy rain and traffic awaiting me on the road.
I started typing this short random diary for today after I finished dinner. I can still see the heavy rain outside and thought perhaps I could redeem my idle time with something productive like writing for my readcash posting for today. And, viola! I'm halfway done, I guess, haha!
I noticed some more people coming in to dine in, so I decided to abandon the place and try my luck going home in the rain. After all, I'm ashamed to stay longer while people were waiting for vacant spaces to dine. There's one girl in uniform approaching me already when I'm about to leave, I'm sure she's thinking whether I could share the table with her. Oh well, no worries, I'm leaving.
Finally, I'm outside and parked my phone back to my bag, I don't want to drop it or might soak it in the rain while I have to deal with the weather, my ride and my wandering thoughts for the night. Now, while waiting for the bus outside, I'm contemplating why I feel so gloomy today, and I realized that my last patient has been on a rough patch with her health. According to the son, her mom has been so sleepy the entire day after she got a hypoglycemic attack earlier this morning. I tried to wake her up to participate in the PT treatment, but she's just nodding and winced when she felt some pain with the exercise. At the back of my mind, something wasn't right, though her vital signs were all okay. Now, I felt helpless for her. I don't know, but no matter how I convince myself not to get affected with my patients, still I always feel otherwise at the end of the day. When I see them struggling and in pain, my heart just breaks with them.
Anyway, the bus came and I have to stand for a bit because it's filled with passengers already from the previous stop. As usual, my mind wanders back to my patient and her son that will be leaving tomorrow for Manila because of work. I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to go back yet, but life has to go on, and resources have to be replenished for his mom's medications and needs for the next days. Sigh. What a life... What a sad life.
Ugh! Indeed, a gloomy and rainy night. Still, thank God it's Friday!
Thanks for reading and enjoy your weekend, guys!

Aww that is sad nga. Lam mo doc... Ok yan. Kahit bet natin na hindi sana affected , we still do. That's the test that despite the knowledge that this world's "normal" pace is that eventually we all deteriorate, you never lose that side of your humanity to sympathize with people..... You have good heart...
