Let us play a little game I call “Who did it?”

A man was found leaning back on the wall of his room one night. His right hand touched the floor while the other was on his lap. Blood was coming out from his horizontally slit throat, some of which had somehow already dried. A knife was on his right hand. A cup of coffee, still warm, was also found beside him. Three people found the body. Man A was a 6-foot tall neighbor. During the interview, he appeared calm. It was then discovered that the victim had an argument with him the morning before the incident had happened. Man B was the victim's co-worker. He claimed that the victim called him to meet at his apartment on that day. Man C was the victim's best friend. He was observed to be walking back and forth, fidgeting, and occasionally looking at his phone.

Now, with only these details, who do you think did it?

Let's see and try to break each situation down. A knife was held by the victim. This could lead to a possibility that the man committed suicide. While it is true that the victim held the weapon himself, we cannot cross out the possibility that he was murdered. Man A was claimed to have an argument with the victim. We could assume that he holds a grudge against the victim making this a possible motive to kill his neighbor while Man B doesn't seem to have one. Who would call a coworker and have a cup of coffee if the person is planning to kill himself? Man C appears to be anxious about something. And anxiety can be suspicious.

Was it Man A, B, C, or the victim himself? You decide.

But what if I tell you there's no answer to that question? What if all of these only were just babbling of my own words trying to picture a scene I could think of right at this moment? What if none of the details actually matter? Did you ask yourself, “Who did what?” I wasn't actually asking anything specific, but did you choose? Who did it? And if this was a blaming game, I'd blame you, or even myself for that matter. Sherlock Holmes once said, “It is a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence. It biases the judgment.” So let us be careful of the things we choose and of the words we say. There are different sides of a story, and sometimes, we only get to see one part of it. And does that give us the right to conclude right away? You know, it's also funny how we overthink and overanalyze things but end up realizing it was just for nothing. At this point, you might think that the game was just another senseless crap or maybe even ask yourself why you even bothered to read. But we're good at that, aren't we? We sometimes do things that actually don't make sense but we do it anyway... We play games and we like to do it most of the time... We play games not knowing that the game was actually playing us right from the start.

Kursong Nursing

Kapag fourth year high school na, diyan na talaga kailangang magsimulang pumili ng kurso sa kolehiyo. Andaming mga letters at kung anu-ano pang papel galing sa iba't ibang kolehiyo at unibersidad ang makikita. May mga Career Talks at mga programa ng school patungkol sa pagpili ng kurso. Isama mo pa riyan ang mga exams na matutulungan ka raw kung saan ka ba talaga magaling.

Ako, sinunod ko 'yung dati pang nakatatak sa isipan ko. Nursing. May minsan ngang nagtanong sa akin, bakit daw Nursing. Madami silang nagtanong kung bakit nga raw 'yun. Eh ang galing ko naman daw. Baka masayang lang kasi nga wala rin lang daw akong makukuhang trabaho pagkagraduate. Eh bakit nga ba? Sa totoo lang, hindi ko alam. Hindi naman ako pinilit na kunin ang kursong ito.

Noong bakasyon na after graduation ng high school, topic lagi 'yung kursong kukunin. Eh di siyempre, Nursing. Tapos 'yung mga reaksyon ulit nila parang hindi mo maipinta. Hindi mo alam kung supportive ba o dinidiscourage ka. Ako kasi, madaling maimpluwensyahan ng iba. Pati mga desisyon ko, madaling magbago. Kaya noong nakita kong ganoon nalang nila tignan ang Nursing, naimpluwensiyahan din ako.

Kung titignan naman kasi, andaming mga RN (Registered Nurses) ang walang trabaho. Karamihan, nagiging tambay na lang o kaya naman, may trabaho nga pero napakalayo naman sa kursong pinag-aralan. Hayan mismo eh. Hindi mo alam kung may patutunguhan ka o wala.

Masakit mang isipin pero ikinahiya ko ang kursong pinili ko bago pa man ako magsimulang mag-aral nito.

Ngayon, bilang isang estudyanteng nars, masasabi kong nagkamali ako. Humusga ako. Pero ngayon, alam mo, napagtanto kong napakadakila ang pagiging isang nars. Hindi ito basta-bastang trabaho o propesyon. Kahit sa isang paghawak lang ng kamay ng pasyenteng takot at nasasaktan, nakakatulong ka. At kahit 'yung fact na nandoon ka lang sa tabi ng pasyente, naipapakita mong pinapahalagahan mo sila. Kahit sa simpleng pagngiti, paghaplos, o pakikinig lang, hindi mo alam, malaking bagay na 'yun sa kanila. At alam mo kung ano 'yung pinakamagandang parte? 'Yun 'yung magpapasalamat sila at ngingiti pabalik. Solve na solve 'yung pagod. Kapag nurse ka, magiging parte ka ng buhay ng iba. Napakadakila. Nakakaproud maging isang nars!

Oo, sa Nursing mahirap. Marami kang pagdaraanan. May mga pagkakataong sa dami ng requirements, wala ka nang time para makakain nang maayos at tama. Kulang na kulang ang oras ng tulog mo. Isabay mo pa 'yung araw-araw na quizzes.

Pero sa Nursing, napakarami mong matututunan. At hindi lang sa iisang aspeto 'yun. Marami. Hindi ka lang nakakapag-aral dito para may alam ka, pero in the process, natututo ka rin kung paano iapply ang mga ito nang tama at maayos. Sa Nursing, nahuhubog din ang attitude at personality mo. Ang pakikitungo mo sa ibang tao, magbabago rin. Matututo kang pahalagahan ang iba bukod sa sarili mo kahit hindi mo sila kaano-ano. Ang galing 'no?

Masaya ako dahil Nursing ang pinili ko. Wala akong pinagsisisihan. At kung meron man, 'yun ay noong hinusgahan ko ang kursong ito. Natakot siguro ako noon na baka matulad lang ako sa iba... walang trabaho, tambay, sayang lang. Masakit man pero mas dapat ko yatang ikahiya 'yung sarili ko dahil minsan ko nang ikinahiya ang kursong ito. Pero hanggang ngayon, hindi ko pa rin alam kung bakit ko pinili itong kursong ito. Pero kahit hindi ko alam, proud ako at itutuloy ko ito! Oo, minsan nahihirapan ako, pero hindi ako sumusuko.
