Early Road Trip with the Oldies: Moments and Today's Ganap with This and That

7:38 pm, i'm already preparing for bed, that was after brushing my teeth and doing some things in the kitchen. 8:10 pm, I put the mosquito net and got my pillows and blanket. It's a good thing that I also feel sleepy that time. These days, I usually sleep at 9 pm but it's different this time cox of the plan tomorrow.
... And thats today, its Mom's follow up check up today and we all talk that we'll prepare early and travel early so that we can arrive in the hospital much earlier too. Mom also has Lab Test today so we really need to go to the hospital much earlier.


4:35 am, we're already on the road, we just rent the tricycle from last time with Kuya Alvin as driver. The trip was smoother this time, no traffic and it's cold. I didn't bring a jacket with me coz I forgot ʘ‿ʘ


We arrive in the hospital and we got Our number immediately. Luckily we're the 3rd on the list. No matter how early we arrive, it is just impossible to get number 1 here (≧▽≦). Still, this is not bad.


So we just stay on the waiting area, at least we'll be comfortable here waiting. The check up will start at 9, but i'm sure the doctor will be late again, just like last time. Haysssst!


Anyways, look at this cute moment between Mommy D and Mommy F that I snap. Mommy D decided to take a photo of Mommy F while sitting. She happily pose, all ready with her beautiful smile. (◍•ᴗ•◍)

So, we didn't had breakfast this morning before leaving home. I mean, Mom's need fasting while me and Mommy D doesnt feel like having breakfast at 4:30 am, that's too early. Good thing there's a small eatery in front of the Hospital


We all had plan lugaw, Mommy D added boiled egg on hers while I bought buns with peanut butter. Gosh this one's too much, the peanut butter they put is too little. And it's 10 pesos. ┐( ̄ヘ ̄)┌


Let me share a other story about the bottled water, I tried to asked two store, how much a 500 ML of water. The other one cost 17 while the other was 18. Then I look at the vending machine near those shops, they cost 15 pesos only which is the right price that I know. Like, why they charge for too much on it? Even other shops sell it for 15 pesos, but why their are much higher? Mind you, its all the same brand. I just really feel like they are being too much. (╥﹏╥)

10:20 am, that's the time the doctor arrived but she immediately started the check up. Guess she made a round in the whole hospital for hours. But what if she also started the round much earlier? Just like what her patient do who prepared earlier just so they -I mean WE, can also arrive in the hospital to get check up faster? Just what if no? Haysssst!

The check up didn't even last for five minutes, I think just four? Just a few questions and everything. After than we're done. We pay for it then just waited for the new prescription that they will hand to us.


We then left the hospital and we had to stop by too in mercury drug store. We stay more minutes here because there's just a lot of costumer inside. I just wish they have more employee here, coz even the cashier attend to their costumer leaving no one in the cashier to process all the payments. Its annoying to be honest! Aigooo
Anyways, that's how busy my morning. I didn't do much but its still tiring. Its not helpful that it is so hot outside and I have impatient oldies outside. Thanks to that I forgot Mommy F's senior I.D ಥ_ಥ

Kuuu madam, ang hirap coz gigising ng maaga at need mag prepare pa rin. Kaso no choice kami. We have to, if we wants na mauna sa check up. Aigooo
This is the same hospital that has no senior priority right?
Hope Mommy F is recovering well.🙏
Yes, it is, di uso sa kanila ang priority lane for senior. Pipila ka talaga, if you want to go early agahan talaga ng punta.
Thank youuu
Hoping for your Mommy F. fast recovery and healing. Ganyan talaga pag need natin mag pa check-up ano? Kailangan talaga maaga ang pagpunta para makakuha ng numero agad at hindi maabotan ng tanghali or maghapon sa hospital. I've been there also way back last year. Public hospital pa naman, aalis kami ng 3:00 ng madaling araw tsaka pagkarating doon 6 ng umaga tapos kadalasan ang makuha naming numero 80 or minsan 100 plus sa dami daming pasyente. Sabi pa ng guard yong iba alas 11 pa lang nang gabi pumipila na. 😊🫢 Kumbaga "Patience is Virtue" talaga. Masaklap lang hapon na kami matapos, minsan magbabaon na kami nang pang-almusal para makatipid na sa gastosin. Haysss I can't imagine how we've been through. Yet God Is Good All The Time.
Salamat ng marami. Yes, dapat talaga, need ng kunting sacrifice, one day lang naman. Wala eh, tayo talaga mag aadjust kapag ganito. Grabi yong sa inyo. Ganyan talaga din sa Public, kaya yong iba naga private nalang eh but even private hospital is lioe that too, sadly. Araw araw kasi talaga may pasyente.
Hay Yan talaga SA atin. Nakakainis. Imagine Kay aga nyong gumising😁. Tapos mghintay Ng napakatagal😬
Naku, 12 pm pa rin kami nakauwi kahit inagahan namin ay. Anong pagod gawa sa init. Aigooo
kahit ako te mapapagod kung 4am pa lang babyahe ka na hahahha
lalo na may times na alas dos pa lang, gising na ako kung gagala kami ganon hahaha
Haha naku talaga, tas super aga pa dyan gising diba. Super agad ng alas dossss haha
Accompanying an elderly parent to a medical appointment is an act of care, patience, and emotional support. It's also a sign of love and respect. You really had a rewarding day.
May your Mom gets super well soon. Prayers! 🙏
