To those asking details...

Mc dreamy looks like noah wyle/dennis trillo/patrick dempsey
McSteamy like that big russian boxer in rocky (dolf something)
And McVet looks like one of them pop stars i can't recall the name.

And yes, despite everything, I am maintaining a clear head.

Going to the hospital has never been this interesting and complicated.

I started the day early in my red sneakers. From afar, i saw mcdreamy buying coffee so i decided to take another route and climb the stairs instead, walk to the end of the hallway and climb down another stairway to avoid bumping into him. I was thinking i don't need this complicated situation. This would eventually die down. Must have been under the spell of asian persuasion or whatever.

When the coast was clear, i pursued my coffee. My cellphone then rings and i get a message from Mcdreamy telling me he liked my red shoes. How sweet valley high school I thought. But hey, coffee never tasted that good. Let's backtrack... McDreamy is just about that. McDreamy. To the sense. First time I saw him in the hallway, I was like, whoa. Wait lang. Whoa. Double take. I think karen carpenter suddenly resurrected and sang "why do birds suddenly appear, everytime you are near... on the day that you were born, the angels got together and decided to create a dream come true". I'm talking jibberish. We never got introduced formally so it was more like smiling to a familiar face whenever we bump into each other. I may be biased but i think , based on his smile, he was a good person. Okay super totally delusional basis of course. Then came that ipod moment when he talked to me and somewhere between him talking and me stuttering, i think i turned into water.

Later that lunch, he messages me, kind of sort of implying that we have lunch together. Fortunately, i remembered i was a doctor and told him, i had patients to see, materials to read. And i just told him that i am not going for lunch. We did bump into each other on the physician's lounge. I gathered my stuff there to go to the library and what do you know, mcdreamy was on his way to the library. i tell you, that library never seem so colorful. I took a computer and he takes the computer next to me. He looks at me and smiles (at this point , I think everything turned black and white and his face was the only thing that was colored) tells me that he is sorry but he is going to bother me. And all i could say was okay. Ang hirap hindi mag smile. Promise. Pwede mag papicture/autograph? Yun ang nasa isip ko. Pero poise pa rin, kahit gusto ko nang sumigaw ng I LOVE YOU PIOLO!!!.

I said i was done with library and he says he was done as well, so we go out and he starts talking about my red shoes again and that he noticed that i like red. I said why do you say that? Well he said, the other day you were wearing red, and then the other day again you had a red lipstick on. Teka lang, inoobserbahan ba ako nito or Ricky Reyes ba ito? Naku baka sabihan ako na gusto niyang kulutin ang buhok ko. Patay. Sabi ko, no i don't like red, that must have been another person who looked like me. Again he smiled and i think carpenter sang again. He says, well another person? you mean there's another one that looks like you here? Small, long black hair, very pretty... Natapilok ata ako nung sinabi niya noon. Bulag ata ang mga tao dito... You should have your eyes checked. I think that was my cue to say something really witty, but all i could say was, hey i got to go. Classic.

What about friday night?

What about it?

Well would you like to go out? Parang gusto ko atang sabihin, I do. Ay , fast forward kaagad yun. Syempre pa cool. Sure we could go out. Where? He says i know this wine place... I interrupt him i'm not a wine person. I'm a coffee person. So anyways he suggests a place and i said parking was hard there, and he suggests another place.. and somehow i had to disagree (i dunno why) and he eventually tells me , okay this is the plan , we go to this place on friday and the other one next time. Deal? Aba. Aba. Ang haba ng buhok ko.

I was on call and i get a message at the middle of the night. It was McSteamy. Tells me he was boarding on a plane in chicago, flying off to some place, that he was just checking in on me. Checking on me? ayayayay. Pantene Pro V5. This McSteamy is quite a character. As the ER nurses once said among themselves "who is that hot new resident?" referring to mcsteamy who was quite tall, and a looker, and a charmer... During one of my dinner, he sat on my table and started talking about stuff like this movie and how he plans to see it with someone, how he would go out for dinner, and i asked him, who with? He said, with louise. With you. With you. And i looked at him and just said , oh. Oh... Naku. When is your christmas vacation? He asks. I said i don't have one. Why? Well i was going to invite you to a carribean cruise, spend your holiday with me. Nye. Dalagang pilipina ata ito. Ano gagawin ko dun? Sabi ko i'm sure you have plenty of women to go with you. At which point he stops and looks at me, he said, whatever you think of me, i'm not that. (I think i offended him.) I only "womanize" with one woman. I don't play around. I just looked at my food. Then he starts talking about this attending who was his friend, who was a young attending, young enough to even ask me out on a date. What do you mean by that ? I asked him. And he said, nothing, i just think he is young enough to ask you out, but he won't ask you out because, could anyone step up on me?

I looked at mcsteamy and his cockiness was i guess what most people found attractive. Not me. i just found it weird so i just raised my eyebrows. He correctly read my nonverbal statement, and he just smiled and asked whether i needed help with my bags, so he carried one and took me to my car.

FYI, mcdreamy and mcsteamy are friends.

Post call, i visited my friends over at the ICU where i bumped into McVet who apparently changed his call day to match mine. Ayayayay.
