The Transformers...

The MWF side of Avantusland is protected and kept safe by the Transformers led by the two known Primes --- Optimus and Sentinel.  Guardians of the Pods are Ironhide in 1, Jazz in 2, Bumblebee is in 3 and Ratchet in 4.  

My partner in the station is Sentinel, she is soft spoken and handles any fire there is and she was once an Avenger.  She is kind and compassionate.  I just wish she is as quick as Prowl.  Hopefully she will not betray the Autobots for the love of earth!  I am Optimus, I may not be the last of the Primes but currently the leader of the Autobots (nahhh Sentinel won't know this, she never read my blog).  Okay, just for this episode the Fairy turns out to be a heavy metal truck.  I move around everyone, even Sentinel!

Bumblebee in Pod3 is my most trusted Tech (okay, all of them) especially when starting a very small new fistula as the other trusted one I had before, moved to the other side and became an Avenger.  bumblebee  leads the team before I come in at 430am, she is the gatekeeper in the wee hours of the night.  That is why you cannot blame her if she loves to take a quick nap during our breaks.

Then comes Ratchet of Pod4 or Ironhide of Pod1 to join Bumblebee in preparing the day's shift.  Ratchet is in the Philippines right now, so I have other Autobots or an Avenger man her Pod.  ratchet is respectful (unlike the real Ratchet) but yeah with a dry wit LOL!  She is loved by her patients and often sought out by Bumblebee's patients when she is not around.  Ironhide is one of the oldest and toughest one there is.  She probably had enough replacement parts to build an army.  Seriously, she just went through her hip replacement and look at her now she is back running around in the floor.  Beware of Ironhide, she may not always see optic to optic with Prime but she is practical and a little trigger happy.  Just imagine the faces of her patients when she cannulate them. big LOL!

And there's Jazz of Pod2.  She is good natured and always able to take things in a stride.  The thing with her is that she doesn't respond well to changes and improvisation -- she always wanted it her way.  And she is not a talker.  Liked and loved by her patients to the extent that she shoos them without a fight.  And she has a heavy hand!

Now that y'all know the Autobots, next issue I will introduce to you the Extraordinary Individuals.

but merely a new beginning. Simply put...
another transformation"

Sunday's child...

I may not have a fair face, but I am a Sunday child.  Forty-something years ago, on a wee hours of a Sunday, my mother had a 10-pounder.  I was born from an unfortunate situation of my parents who were in dire need to uproot themselves from the very place they called home since their childhood. Most of my siblings were born and grew up in the same hometown.  So growing up in a very different environ caused havoc to some of my older siblings --- who are unable to see the tin line between leaving and living.  On the other hand, I did not realize the difference between us and them (my older siblings) even they kept teasing me and the other two younger siblings "Moros".  I remembered how I was schooled by my older siblings about the sun, the moon, the stars...and why the sky is way up high.  I've learned how greed can cause you hunger and misery from the story of the monkey and the turtle .  I even learned the eye-flipping story of the pin...

heads or tails...

What's the best part of a fish to chomp on? The head.  Especially when its sinigang or tinola (cooked in soup base) or even grilled. Filipinos has a funny gusto of eating fish, we are used to cooking and serving a whole fish -- with all its head, tail, bones, and skin on!  Which, I know most people in California would gape at a sight of it--- a whole fish! Gawk. Ande cooked dinner yesterday.  She called me saying  "saan ka na" (where are you now?) at 645pm, while I was cruising or actually sitting in the traffic of SR-55 and I-5N.  She said she cooked dinner.  Yes, that's how lucky I am!  I have a rent-free place and a dinner to look forward to. As expected, the one in my soup bowl was a milkfish head... and so in Ande's bowl.  I went back to the kitchen for seconds and found the same heads and some tails of the milkfish in the pot.  Went back to the table, grabbed my eye glasses again as milkfish are really, really bony! ...

Refreshing...

While June was sitting in the lobby, I noticed her face is differently-colored.  Her aura is as translucent as the light bulb behind her.  Well, the monitor of the lobby camera is hidden in my station--- I see everyone and anybody who sets foot in the Kingdom.  Two months ago, there were two bull-necked belligerent guys in my lobby as early as 5AM...I called the cops on them. When June was in the treatment area, I called her attention and told her how refreshing it is to see her smile like she's still playing with her bubble bath--- frothy and fizzy! "Oh yes!  I was in the tub with the running water for 30 minutes!" she replied. Her CVC was removed recently... after one long year!  She said when she was in the hospital for the removal procedure,  she told the Surgeon "it's about time, it's been a year". She was not mad, in fact she was happy, in her mind--- "finally I can take a long shower". So June, tell me, what wi...
