THE SPECIALISTS

The CARDIOLOGIST confirmed the itinerary to Kampong Chhnang, Pursat, and  Battambang before elevating to the 11th floor: "The walkie-talkie is back in Angeles City so my support role is done. The first payment though got stuck in Phnom Penh but you can continue with your prescriptions from the Heart of Jesus".

The ONCOLOGIST observed a diminished and  abbreviated Monday meeting while arranging donation cans: "Indeed, the chief planning officer is benign so I will cancel the next-generation sequencing since the donation from California has been transacted. You will have your 4th scan after 3 months".  

The THORACIC SURGEON reviewed then endorsed a policy brief from Kuala Lumpur: "Your lungs were inflamed. We are thankful for your good progress, our answered prayers, and the evolving case studies. Today is Padre Pio's feast day. I will check on you again after 3 months".

At the 2nd floor chapel, she communed with the images of Padre Pio and Our Lady of Gudalupe who kept her company in the ICU.

She gazed at the rising sun from the balcony of 17E in Tower 1, grateful for a new day and perplexed why Monday's happy lechon spoiled so quickly.

 

The OTOLARYNGOLOGIST responded to a network request before completing the confederation's one program report for Asia: "We need to perform a rhinoscopy in October to secure a hotel booking and a session plan in Bangkok".

The HEMATOLOGIST smelled of high precision blood works from San Jose City: "You (to Bulan) drove through the rain but we can only determine thalassemia after 3 months.    

Chapter 4 of an inequality report was listed as either a burger breakfast, braised beef noodle soup and dimsum, classic pancake, a cheesy patty, or menudo.

The Phantom Biker sneaked a quickie to the alterator before Cigna's denial of "own travel" and accommodation costs in lieu of the Thursday Group's interpretations of the lechon as a sashimi and chicken inasal from an Entered Apprentice.

DAYS OF THE MENDING

The Bangkok and Phnom Penh meetings were locked in. 

Climate finance commitments will be aligned with the stars to reconfigure three meetings, a field vist, and a team dinner.

A side hustle in Kuala Lumpur between two more Thai engagements is taking shape.  

One final glimpse of the Canberra reports exposed the signed guidelines and a committed support package for Jakarta.

Monday's shuffle progressed into Saturday's steady strides.

Black Velvet celebrated an employment eligibility.

A petite eye doctor threw pink shoes at managed healthcare.

Near beer, pizza, and chicharon fell an ancient molar.

Absence monitoring, workforce management, and a single source solution are the Signs of Change.

Case researches were elevated into an inclusive nexus for just energy transition that was explored and probed in Manila.

Payment was requested for cleansing electronic folders and organizing vistual boxes during the Monday meetings.

The troika of the Ironman, the Chef, and the Caregiver prays as the Phantom Biker for the complete mending of a Braveheart...

BRAVEHEART

The Grim Reaper hovered to sqeeze her soul.

It was almost over but her heart, reinforced with prayers and aided by the spirits of her father and brother, fought back with great courage and determination.

Not yet, and thus was how the intubated who lived and the comatose who woke up broke free from a feeding tube and the shackles of a urinary catheter and an intercostal drain to liberate free air from the suffocation of a venturi mask and regain composure from the beeping noise of a multiparameter monitor; strong and valiant in the face of danger and adversity that rendered a central line, a sequential compression device, and incontinence pads moot and academic.

He wanted to but why can't he cry hard enough? 

Perhaps it was the stone hearted pragmatism that, throughout the ordeal, delivered a communications work plan to nudge a Dutch email account, resolve the remaining financial agreement, and secured slots for Jakarta at Bangkok's Climate Action Week and Kuala Lumpur's Energy-Business Forum, provisions that justified the launch of a multi-country program practitioners guide and the first engagement with a digital economy framework agreement. 

He remained level-headed in the Monday meetings, tranquil and collected in responding to Manila's proposed presentation, drafting an agenda for Phnom Penh, and DocuSigning requests for payment. 

But resoluteness is just a facade, a survival mechanism, his heart's pleadings and gratitude known only to the deities, his most sincere and vulnerable moments exposed only in heaven's portkeys.

Like on Friday morning at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes. 

Their eldest might have missed the surgical staple extraction and spyrometer exercise in Room 6200 but his daily post-ICU hustles from Tower 2 (10L) and Tower 3 (22V) revealed a steady and reliable heart that kept the refrigerated ginisang monggo and nilagang baboy from Bakal 2 warm and delectable. 

On Friday afternoon, the last of a phalanx of doctors signed the discharge papers at a cost of P17,640.20 in lieu of P2,603,453.40.

We have relieved happy hearts, grateful for her brave heart that pulled us through: she had a face-off with a flatline and prevailed.

Somewhere up there, the deities heeded our prayers and smiled kindly on us. 

Back in Bakal 2, the Samara Suntrust skyline faded into flavors of near beers paired with litsong manok and sinigang na ulo ng salmon, and a smorgasbord of dinakdakan, pocorns, luncheon meet, tinumis, bopis and the first of early morning walk exercises...

ANATOMY OF A NIGHTMARE

Moday's forecast was the sun will shine like ramen eggs bathing in a bowl of Tantanmen amidst a myriad of readiness appraissals and a consultancy roll out, sterile like hallways of antiseptic baths for the morning parade to the operating theater and an annual work planning workshop until Tueday's declaration of a touch-and-go situation evicted a comatose procession from Room 2002 to a dark uncertain night.

Let us pray said the thoraic surgeon.

The portkeys of heaven at the Anglican Cathedral of St. Mary & St. John and St. Luke the Physician's Chapel were stormed with desperate pleas, sincere petitions for the deities' compassion who on Wednesday morning intervened through a faint wave of recognition to usher The Awakening from unintelligible scrawls and gestures to a familar script that on Thursday were liberated from the restraint of intravenous lines. 

In the aftermath of a 10-minute brush with near-death, a pair of  specters descended to secure ICU 2 and offered comfort that resuscitated neurons and nephrons to functional normalcy. 

This was the story told on Friday night and by Saturday morning, the dark nights of Tower 2 (19M, 27P, 17L) metamorphosed into hazy but brigther days in Tower 3 (24Z) with the taming of the hypotension and extubation from the breathing machine. 

A brave strong heart noted the cardiologist.

From relieved hearts, an outpouring of grateful prayers were coursed through heaven's portkeys by a gathering of Carmelians at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, an Episcopalian mass at the Cathedral of St. Mary & St. John, and four lighted candles for supplication at the Santuario de San Ezekiel Moreno.

It was a nightmare with limited visistation hours (9-10 am, 6-8 pm) but faith in the deities, prayers from family and friends, and the welcome distraction of drafting a communications plan that was circulated as guidelines for partnership management pushed forward the first payments to Manila, Jakarta, and a consultant immensely helped us to pull through...

THE MATRIX (Bakal 2 Edition)

Ours is a digital rain of Yin and Yang forces.

Opposing yet complementary, like the eternal struggle between night and day.

A symbiosis of Kana characters and Latin symbols, like men and women. 

An endless loop of a death@71 and a birthday@62 in Cabanatuan...

In the CodeScene for the Phantom Biker, emails were responded to and remote meetings convened in Phnom Penh as dscussed in chat box conversations with Melbourne about a proposed assembly in Manila that will address matters related to a one-stop shop on first payments, the provisions of which, as indicated in a consultancy covenant transcribed in Bahasa Melayu and Bahasa Indonesia, will ship a cybernaut instrument to Nairobi.

Year 4 is a work plan that executed the second submission of Year 3 reports to hopefully unlock Step 5 through leisurely rides in the wet roads of Bakal 1, Kukusim, Mapak-ol , Korokan, Purok 5, and Bakal 3.     

Outlook is now powering iPhone 16 ever since the news broke out that Millenum Harvest is being felled by bills payment.

That's when Ateng's Garden's green screen blinked with computer codes for tinumis and sisig, litsong manok and pinakbet, pork barbecue and popcorn, dinakdakan, and a makeover...
