I opened the weather app and saw that it's 66F. I braved it out and skipped the opaque tights for bare legs... It was a leeeeetttlle chilly. 


I should have taken a practice photo of my legs before I committed to the bare legs. I need spring break to come soon. We need sun!













Louis Vuitton, thanks for taking this beauty home from Paris, AC! My most favorite purse ever... more than my Chanel's!

Who's idea was it to buy fruit by the foot?
Not me. 


(I sound like Sebastian!)


Not me is Sebastian's new comment.
I ask: who made a mess? who did this? who opened the door? who did not put the crayons away?
his default answer: not me.
... When it was clearly him who spilled the milk all over the kitchen floor.


We missed Sebastian on our Wiws photos as he was still napping...

when i was a resident



Yes, yes. It's another outfit post with a dozen or more photos!
But bear with me.
I want to remember stories from residency that I think it's time to share them here.

















I did not blog much during intern year because:
a) I did not have time. I worked a lot (80 hour workweeks). When I was not working, I slept.
b) I was afraid that I'd blog about something at work and break patient confidentiality. So I just avoided it completely. {side note: that's also why I don't really talk much about my job or day-to-day work stuff here...}


It has been close to 10 years (gasp!) since I was an intern. I want to remember what it was like "when I was a resident."






            

















Let's start with my "day in the life" of an intern.

I trained in a big program. There were 24 categorical peds resident spots and 12 (maybe more?) medicineand pediatric spots.  THAT IS A BIG PROGRAM.


Good thing about big programs ~ if one or two or more residents go on maternity leave, the call sched is not hurt that much. There are tons of sub specialties covered in the hospital that there are about 12 residents on call each night. Our program also covered 3 hospitals (the children's hospital, the county hospital and the mother baby unit at a nearby hospital).


When I trained, the call structure was different.
The 80-hour work week limit has been in placed for a couple of years before I started intern year. I am so thankful for that.


The cut off was also 30 consecutive work hour limit for ALL residents (not just upper levels, but also interns). This meant: changeover started at 7a, and when a resident is on call, he/she will work until 1p the next day (or sooner if the work gets done... but that infrequently happens).









love this necklace, scored it from jcrew factory sale!
you wouldn't guess it... but it was less than $20!

In 2011, the cut off for interns changed to 16 consecutive workhour limit.
Then programs started the terms "short call" and "long call".

I have never had to do "short calls" or "long calls."

I just had long calls. PERIOD.


But basically, short calls mean: an intern comes in at 7a and then out by 10p. i thought that scenario was actually tiring. Because the next day is not a day-off. In fact, interns after a night of short call, have to come in the next day at 7a again. {there must be a 8-10 hour off-the hospital break before going back in}


Long calls - I explained that above. Long calls can mean 7a of day 1 up to 28 hours later which makes it to 11a. the 30 hour work limit has been decreased to 28 hours just in the past years "since I was a resident."

This is getting too long. I will officially start my "day in the life of an intern" on part ii.
stay tuned.

Valentine's day weekend









Vintage Chanel



Valentines Day weekend recap





The older children were *supposed to stay with their grandparents Friday night but they changed their minds. So Friday date night was a family date night. 


The highlight of the weekend was the Valentine's Day dance at the children's school. Daniel took me and Isabel took daddy. 


The predance date was at Qdoba. That's what happens when we let the 6 year old and the 4 year old decide where to go. (It could have been worse. It could have been McDonald's! yikes)




I was hoping we'd go to the other Mexican place because of the margarita. Boohoo, no predance margarita for this mama.
Probably a good thing, eh?

It took an hour for my children to warm up and dance. They just sat there and watched the other students. They wanted to play checkers instead of dance. 




They didn't get their daddy and mummy's genes. Derrick and I just dance though the only ones on the dance floor. 


15 minutes before the end of the school dance, they finally went out and danced with us. It was so cute. And worth dressing up for that!

Sunday was Scout Sunday so it was busy in the morning but finally slowed down after lunch. Our usual after Mass lunch is closed. The owners are on their annual trip to Asia. Since I was craving steak (not that often I crave steak) I asked if we can all go to a steakhouse. The children actually ate their steak meal from the kids' menu. They also got little trinkets from the server. 



Bastian's toy only lasted the meal and didn't even make it home. It already broke and drained water. Isabel got a sticky heart. Daniel received an Avengers light up sticker. 


Ms. Lucy got a key pull charm. The highlight of her lunch is not charm but the mashed potatoes! It was loaded with butter. She loved it. 


She is a good eater like her kuya Bastian! I didn't bring her her baby food. I thought she'd just nap. So we let her try the mashed potatoes. {4th child... I'd never do that with Daniel}

Thanks to newchic for sponsoring this post... and letting me choose the perfect skirt for the most fun school dance. I grew up in the Philippines and went to a conservative Catholic high school. Our prom was actually "cancelled" so I never really went to a real school dance.



I think going with my eldest is the most fun.

I don't think I missed much.

I am making up for it now.


Just in case you missed the video link above, I am posting it here again (hint, hint for my mom or grandma who might have missed it)
