Two points: that meeting went quick and this burger is horrid! That's all.
3/8/2002 12:27 P.M.
I just remembered that my flight was scheduled today and I rushed packing. Thankfully, I didn't forget about this journal. God knows where I would've written if I left this behind.
4/8/2002 6:24 P.M.
Capiz townsmen told me about the loss of their livestock and poultry. I've taken pictures of their carcasses. It was horrifying! Like a ferocious beast ate them.
6/8/2002 10:54 P.M.
The scream echoed in the middle of the night. It even woke me up and that's a hard feat as I'm a deep sleeper. The first strike since I got here.

That's the fifth time I see a truck with Manila Hospital's logo, its route never changes. So does its schedule. Get here by 6:00 P.M. and leave by 7:00 P.M. Should I see where it goes?
10/8/2002 11:40 P.M.
That's the eighteenth body since I got here, I feel so useless! Their screams play like a broken record in my ear. Spilled blood on my hands and I couldn't even do anything to help!
11/8/2002 7:06 P.M.
I'm scared. What if the rumors were right and there really is a surot roaming around the block? Another two, dead.
13/8/2002 7:01 P.M.
Manila Hospital is being secretive; they haven't answered my mailed questions about the trucks. I have a bad feeling about this...
14/8/2002 8:12 P.M.
I was right! They were throwing away the contaminated equipment here! But they weren't following conduct, dirty by-products the hospital produces should be either buried or incinerated, I can't believe I work with these people.
18/8/2002 3:27 P.M.
I performed autopsy, and found out something interesting. Definitely not reporting this back to the monsters that were my bosses.
20/8/2002 1:31 P.M.
Afterpeople saw me near yesterday's victim, I've been receiving glares. They aren'tthinking what I'm thinking, right?
