Work

Finally! My own net connection is back… I have loads of stuff to write about but time is not my buddy anymore. The ironies of being a nurse has succumbed into my life that I hardly post in this blog of mine… I will not be in hiatus mode or anything it’s just that the adjusting period sucks a lot.

It’s been three weeks since I started as this work of mine as a probationary nurse. Its way way different from the orientation phase plus being in charge of a patient’s care is scary but fun at the same time. Scary since you have to deal with not only the patient but on his significance others as well. It’s just that people are different and have different opinions, tempers and smells. As for the co-workers they helped you a lot, although you have to deal with some explaining from them and loads of must-to-dos before you tell your side of the story. Hence I just listen, smile a lot and pretend that you’re ok or else everyone around you will piss you off even further. Fun part would be the stupid little things you had as a beginner (i.e. hots sitz bath chair that forgot to close so water came rushing in when poured)Experience is the best teacher for your skills to develop. The sharpening of these skills is by far needs to be sharpened a bit more. Mostly if the people you work with are cool then work will be cool as well. I did however make new colleagues that were pretty awesome as well. Even if I was freaking out in the middle of the hours (i.e. newly admitted patient who was fine went on cardiac arrest suddenly), I still never failed to have help from them. Others well need to adjust on their attitude since like I said you can’t please everyone.

I would dream to be my job like her but reality has its own surprise. This series is cool to

The only thing that I have to find it annoying was that on the load assignments. It’s like winning on a race track which I sometimes hate coz I let others pick first. And yes respect from seniors also. The station I am somehow belongs to cases with deep internal medicine. Tertiary cases are here and mostly patients have somehow have history of being confine to the hospital. Cardiac arrests are frequent visitors to the station as well.

Summer months are here so basically I am stuck on this four boxed walls alone. My brother had graduated from college so he’s at home and my cousin is on vacation mode. Good thing I still have net connection at home, the net connection which appeared suddenly out of nowhere that we, the less fortunate ones were lucky to leech on it. I seldom go out these days due to work and my mother has become my best friend. I find it quite weird yet ok since she’s a nurse and well she can really relate to the things I’ve been going on. We had these conversations about her first experiences both good and bad. Ironic part of our conversations would be the day she mentioned that she shouldn’t let me became a nurse instead proceed to medicine or have an office kind of work. She should have realized that years ago but this career had grown in me. It’s like learning to love it dunno but being passionate about it yet but I learned to love it during college. I understood somehow the physical and emotional aspect of man plus being able to help others feels kinda good. When you realized that a patient of yours was extubated and was recovered during one of your care. Relieving it is that somehow your care was effective enough.

Sorry if I have been blabbing about work too much on this post, this would be the first and the last since I have no intentions of posting like this on the future. I just need to ventilate somehow to things I’ve been going through. Until then I have to make some posts that are quite interesting to me and to the one who is reading this. ^^

Facing Dooms Day


Since I can't contain myself of not posting something this would be a very very very short update bout me.

I know been narcissistic for the past couple of days even my tweets and plurks are all about me me me...

Ok cutting it short, it is officially a week for me to face Dooms Day.

Dooms day = the Moment of TRUTH

Dooms day! Boom Day isn't bad as well [image source]

The every reason why i am still a bummer for like more than a year now...

Taking the NCLEX will be hard, there is no doubt about it even if i have to suffer myself again on endless quires and mind boggling questions just to be a nurse in the US.

I didn't ask for this but personally I have no intentions of getting a work..yet. But repaying the bills my parents had put one me would be such a sure blast...

Of all the month why October??

October to me is like the beer fest of all. Free booze everywhere and you don't have to worry about being hang over or making a fool of yourself, trust me been there!

This is what October is all about [image source]

It's where Halloween happens, my brother's birthday, college semester breaks and of course free pig outs with family and friends

Yeah i miss the pig out session with Lara on her home town, I can't believe that those mouth watering lechons are missing in action this month. I can still remember last year, riding on that hell of a centipede ride... good times!

Oh yes i forgot October is the feast day of Mother Mary of Rosary. No i hadn't prayed the rosary since October 1 but i did get to visit her church every week.

Unrelated to the NCLEX thingy are the anime shows!

Booooo almost all the on-going anime i usually update myself are done. Freaking 12 episodes! why on the hell they have to like limit to twelve episodes?! Kuroshitsuji was one hell of a weird ending! It's that Sebastian is stuck with Ceil... my poor Sebby stuck with a demon Ceil. HOTD (High School of the Dead) was good but the ending was terrible. There must They should have a second season for it! Occult Academy was weird but yeah still i find the ending quite happy. KHR (Katekyo Hitman Reborn) was a miserable one. I'm gonna miss Lambo wagging his cow suit but the ending wasn't that bad. It's just why do they have to stop there?! Must wait for 2011 then?! tsk this is bad so I am again on the mission on searching to fill up my anime goodness... Hit me if you have any suggestions, all ears here ^____^

On the manga part, the only thing i would like to comment was on Vampire Knights. I dunno the writers must have like Kaname and Yuki since they made again a story of Kaname not being the brother of Yuki, i dunno. It made my head swirl more and yeah Zero is still a pain the ass. He's acting bitchy too.

Yes i just like to breathe a little and be prepared for this exam...

The good thing was that i was able to fill myself up with lots of nice infos even if it took me alone to study. The net was helpful and a great friend offered her review materials. I guess God was really listening...

I survived reviewing alone :D [image source]

Keeping my fingers cross and yeah i have lots of pending post to finish too better start posting them next week! weeeeh

Wishful Thinking

Lets head up for some lil updates shall we…

People were buzzing about this month’s NLE, truthfully say I have lot of batch mates taking this exam… and oh boy I can see myself again way back the days of reading, reading and more reading. My cousin was on a countdown watch on her cellphone indicating how many days left, which for me isn’t a good idea. Only anxiety wins over in that part of the preparation; but the waiting part of the result was rather both amusing and scary. Really even if I hadn’t attended any mass for two straight Sundays, I wished them putting their brains in adrenaline and doing their bestest best.

still the old DB guesthouse

visiting friends for lasgna and ice cream

these guys need to chill hehehe

The nicest part is that cheering others up that everything will be ok, with the help of comfort food like ice cream and lasagna perhaps… ^^ the vicinity is still the same except that I heard ghost stories which is weird since there are like a hundred of them and only 75 of us way back… hmmm I guess we were the ghosts on those days hahahha having to stay up late like 3 or 4 in the morning… good times my friends.

I’m stuck again in being the one who prepares all these reunion stuff. Yup, reunion. To think we had our high school reunion just last year, but yearly would well be not that exciting since we kinda see each other on the street spontaneously. At least this year, I get to enhance again my artsy side. I was pleased with the invitations, only using Microsoft word for it. The background picture aka tarpaulin was kinda annoying since only Php500 is budgeted to it and that our head coordinator wants it so big that five people can fit in… er which is like impossible since the cheapest tarp I found cost Php20/sq meter. So gotta find a way for the impossible to be a reality hahaha like a genie would grant me wishes, wait a fairy would be better to grant me UNLIMITED wishes; unless reality bites in.

wishing these to life

I guess nobody misses me hahhahha, although I miss a lot of people! A lot! My parents are here I just hope they bring good news hahaha… coz I really have an eerie feeling that something huge and bad is gonna happen… or my hormones are just bugging me

post-grad highs and lows

been a while hahaha at well the post graduation events are totally intense

i mean totally! to start off i need to pump my head a little more for it to run all the way through! yehaa!!

after all those sweaty practices, the big day did come... and yeah it did drained all my energy that i couldn't keep my eyes open around 9 in the evening...


the black togas were kinda itchy i dunno... the white galas were umm see through since i was wearing a black bra haahaha

it was kinda warm feeling inside even though i have no idea who my seatmates were but those two got teary eyed all of a sudden sheesh i thought something was wrong... false alarm!

seriously though i never thought that day would be the last days for some of the familiar faces to see... literally.. what am i feeling? well more like 60% relief, 30% sad, 10% who cares! it would well end up being strangers in the near future, which i hope won't happen

the following days would be like getting cleared up again so that the tor's would be processed fast! and that PRC filings would arrived... in this section would be like a tremendous waste of energy and money over countless printing, signing and well getting in lines to past all those requirements, i just wish that the university would have given the format a little bit earlier so that students would have the decent days to stay at their provinces during holy week hahahai

there's an itsybitsy part i did though before inserting all those PRC commotion

BORACAY BABY!


was weird though able to go to that island miles away from home, even my parents allowed me to go without any hassle ^_^
it was well like crazY! i ended up lack of sleep almost every night, even the first night was a blast!
endless drinking (didn't get drunk though, that would be like hell!), white sandy beaches, food galore, got tossed over a flying water float, got a cool henna, party! and well a whole lot of sun with the sunburn to add it all up

note to self though: should save energy before night begins and a PNB teller machine at reach!


crazy four days of having fun hhahahha i know i sucked being in a swimsuit but who cares no ones looking actually! hehehe

after that, reviews and the PRC commotion have started again... the reviews were kinda useful for me cause there were lots of aspects that really gave me really clear sightings about stuff especially on the research subjects... haahhaa wow

as for the holy week, i only spent three days in ormoc... sad isn't it
hai, i know it was a time for peace and feeding your spiritual soul to the Above but still my cousins were there! hahhahah and the endless fun just topped over the line! i can't imgaine that by june, those 2 would well come living with me and my bro hahahah i just hope i'm still present around their first weeks or days


but last friday i did end up on bed teary eyed hai... i dunno i was well having a vision, can't say it was a dream since i was consciously awake, thinking of well of the good for nothing person on which triggered me to open this blog on the first place... yes there's no pain when i see them and yes there is no weird gut feelings when i see them either both personal or on pictures yet i cried that night because of a song.... the song?? you're in love by wilson phillips... its an old one and i only knew the sinegr just today! waaaah yep it did bug me most of that night epcially the chorus part....
and it was good friday.... the time for reflection on your life.. hmmm come to think of it, he is part of my life er rather was or is?? waaah stupid gut feelings again


"You're in love
That's the way it should be
'Cause I want you to be happy
You're in love
And I know that you're not in love with me
Ooh, it's enough for me to know that you're in love
I can let you go
'Cause I know that you're in love..."


-wilson phillips

this is rather a long enrty but what the heck i'm the only one at home and kinda bored... hehehhe forgive my rudeness and skipping of ideas hehehe HAPPY EASTER and well i hope to share more on my answers to this life ^_^
