I didn't go to work today. I filed for a one-day vacation because I needed to accompany my mother to the hospital for her cataract surgery.

Well, it was really fast. And the hospital is like our neighbor. The new Queens hospital is gorgeous and clean. Though I hope I wont be spending a lot of time there!

I Loved the service by the staff. Her nurses were really accommodating (And it was fun that they spoke Filipino too). I work in the hospitality industry so I know when a service is genuine or not. The only thing I didn't like was the bitchy receptionist. Hmmpp.

We are now back home. Resting. And so far, everything is fine. I'll be reporting back to work tomorrow. In the mean time, I shall do my readings.

On another note, whenever I'm in the hospital, I always wonder what life would have been like if I pursued medicine. It was instilled in my head, while growing up, that I should be a doctor. And yes, it was something I prepared for in high school. It was my mother's dream. And I thought it was mine too. But as early as high school, I knew science and I didn't click. I wanted to help people, but it was not a career meant for me. My mother was disappointed . And up to now, she's still disappointed. I know it deep in my heart. She's just being quiet. I believe however that despite not pursuing medicine, I know I'm in the the right direction. God put me here after all. And I know I'll be great at it. :-)
