Reality Bites
When the clock ticks 12mn, the end has come… my rotation in Cabiao, that is! I’ll be officially back to my world after a month-long vacation - err - community rotation. I ain’t ready yet if you’re gonna ask me. It feels like it’s first day of clerkship all over again. But then, I should be really thankful since I’ll be rotating in Anesthesiology where it’s less toxic compared to Surgery where the workload beats the world’s bests diet pills around. Oh yes. But come August I’ll be dreading duty days once again.
Tonight marked my first dinner alone after almost one month. I already got used to sharing the table with four other girls. Although we didn’t have to beat each other for food, mealtimes with them was livelier and more comfortable than eating a cold meal alone. While I was having my dinner, I suddenly felt like crying. It’s only been hours since we parted ways but I already miss them: Jacy and her squeals when we start talking about scary shit; Ria and her silk and very revealing sleepwear; Pau and her camera that’s with her almost 24/7 and most memorably Christianne and her mouth-watering dishes! Gah. Eating alone makes me lose my appetite no matter how delicious my food is. *sigh* I know I’ll be thinking of Cabiao for a long, long time.
From clockwise:
Me, Christianne (standing), Jacy, Ria, Pau: The Power Five!
