The Ugly Little Duckling Incarnate


Oh well, I've just watched a very cute Thai movie entitled "Crazy Little Thing Called Love." It's actually about a girl's first love which made her do things to improve herself. She'd been liking the guy secretly ever since. The girl was actually "the ugly duckling" incarnate because at the start of the movie, she really looks ugly. But as she grew older, she started to take care of herself and eventually became the "beautiful swan." Her complexion improved, she grew her hair longer, stopped using eyeglasses, dressed more nicely and learned to put make-up on to improve her appearance. She also participated in school activities just so her prince would notice her. And when finally she had gathered the courage to confess, she learned that her prince just got a girlfriend! Of course her heart broke and she finally decided to study abroad with her father.  

Actually, when the movie was nearing its end, you can already sense that the guy also likes her but could not confess because he had promised his friend who also likes the girl that he wouldn't hit on her. So he had to endure those feelings eventually hurting them both. And when the girl was about to go abroad, the guy finally decided to let her know his feelings. All this time, he had been keeping a journal with her pictures! For all those years, he had also been liking her secretly even when she was still an ugly duckling. Anyway, I thought the ending would be sad but then they finally met again in an interview and well, everything fell into place. Nam asked if he is married already and Chon answered that he is waiting for someone to return from abroad! And the screen faded...

I find the movie very cute and nice not because of the puppy love story, but because of its message. The movie showed how powerful love can be. It showed how love can inspire somebody to change for the better. What happened with Nam was a total make-over - physically, mentally and emotionally. And even though she was hurt after the confession, well it was really heartbreaking, but if you look at the bright side, it made her a better person. It made her stronger and she was able to prove herself.

Feel na Feel ko ang September

Yung totoo, nagsisimula palang ang September pero quotang-quota na ako. By the way, September is like "the toxic month for DR nurses". Why? Because a lot of moms go on labor and give birth on September. And I do mean "a lot." December kasi is malamig, maraming holidays, maraming bakasyon  kaya most of them do it during those cold nights or maybe even days. LoL. And so, if you count for nine months - September po ang due date nilang lahat! Pati yung mga hindi pa dapat manganak nagp-preterm labor na din. Buti sana kung manganganak silang lahat ng matiwasay. Swerte na yung PROM, antibiotic lang at temp q1. Kaso yung iba GDM, so CBG and refer q4. Pahirapan ng hanap ng MROD. Meron namang pre-eclamptic, so MgSO4 IM, IV pati sa IVF, tapos 24 hour urine protein at VS q1. Syempre, pag service asahan mo na malamang sa malamang eh CS yan. Pati yung mga may sakit sa thyroid nakikigulo pa. Table dito, table doon, admit dito admit doon. Kahit  dalawa kayong magka-partner eh parang pareho kayong night. 

Sige na ako na mareklamo. Pero actually, hindi naman talaga ako nag-rereklamo, well just maybe slightly in a sense. Pero ang totoo, ang gusto ko lang naman is to share my experiences. Kasi at the end of the day, kahit pagod ka, andun pa rin yung feeling of fulfillment na napaanak mo lahat yun at nagawa mo lahat ng monitoring at naibigay lahat ng due meds ng walang mintis. Haha. I don't really hate the DR. Grabe lang kasi. Ako ba talaga ang toxic sa DR?
