Painted Red...

Yes, that was my shirt. And yes, that pic was from my BLS and First Aid training from Philippine National Red Cross - Caloocan Chapter. The training started last 30 June to 5 July, 2008, from 8:00 in the morning to 5:00 in the afternoon, thus becoming my (very!) valid reason for not posting recently. It was a very hectic week. I had to get up at around 4:00 am (oh my ~ I really did that) so that me and my friend were already at the FX terminal at 6:00 am. Of course, that was not true most of the time, usually because I took too long to prepare myself.

Anyway, it was a very exciting experience! Especially the last two days of the training!!! I was able to KISS a lot of DUMMIES (FYI - dummy : the mannequins used to train people in Basic Life Support)... That was very EYE OPENING (friends, you know what I mean, don't you?)... The last day was also very memorable. I would not be divulging the secrets of that day to everyone who reads this though. Suffice to say that everyone who was part of that last day literally and figuratively saw RED!!!

A great big THANK YOU to my group mates and other classmates for the training - you became my friends even if we were together for a very short time.

Kudos to a close friend of mine (you know who you are!) who became our "Incident Commander". You handled pressure the best way you knew you could, and you did a fairly good job at it! Two thumbs up!!!

And to all of the instructors, A THOUSAND AND MORE CHEERS to you for all the effort and patience you put into training and teaching us all about First Aid and Basic Life Support!!!



Post Script...
Much to my dismay, the shirt has been washed of all the stains and now looks sparkling white... I, however, would have wanted it to look like the one in the picture for a longer period of time.... teehee... :D
