Moving Forward

Doom's day has ended and took me a month to secure the answer to such exam that brought my knees to crumble



Yet I failed...

Yes I failed the NCLEX... The words 'we regret to inform you' keeps ticking on my head for like the nth time already since yesterday

The mail came around lunch time and I was supposed to be somewhere. Both excitement and nervousness filled my body while ripping out the top layer. To my surprise, I didn't make it. Funny because somewhere inside said that it was to be expected. It's like I knew my performance very well since that day, it wasn't a joke. So yes, it took me like minutes for the tears to flow. Then it started... the feelings of all negativity that I felt when I took that exam came rushing in. Weird my brother was the first person I contacted... hahahha and yeah he said something about stuff like moving forward.

Just keeping your feet moving forward [image source]

It's true you have to move forward, it's not the end of the world plus I can and I will take the exam again even if I have to pay for it for myself. The payment part, I think that won't be a problem too. My mother called and yes her voiced was calm at first. Shocked at first but I know my mother very well. Her anger tone will eventually come and it did.

I admit I lack on things... maybe I was too relax or that since I can be the master of my own review time I ended up doing more unnecessary things. Yes I did study, learn, concentrate and focus but the I underestimated the time, prayers and anxiety of passing the exam. I was so used to the strategy I have when I was still a student. It's first time actually failing something on a major exam. It was the first time that my style failed and it hurt my ego a lot.

So the remaining time I did yesterday was normal. After feeling the crapness out, I just went outside and did my networking stuff. It was a killer! I just keep thinking on my mind, nothing is impossible and that there's something else being directed to me. I don't know if it was fate but by far chance this have given me the opportunity to realize something.

Really I was feeling not down but ok. I was in the middle of ok and not good but it moved further to better. Only few friends knows about this and maybe if you're reading this then you have the idea. The driving force inside me saying that there are so many possibilities of making it outside the country. Further as the day turned dark, I was back to my old self again. Yes there were messages about self pity, thank you for those stuff but my positive thinking help me moved on! I mean look at me now, still busy with the online networking I joined which is really cool by the way.

Imagine the reason I started doing blogging again because I was so filled with crap, but along came this one and boom! I wasn't feeling that down and yes I wasn't that person who submerged herself with alcohol. Of course it is an eye opener but the possibilities for me to ways on still going and working abroad are still not limited.

I can't imagine why my mother is such a pessimistic person while my father is the opposite. Good thing I have a mind set like my fathers... I mean it pays, and yes this is just a temporary detour then. Plus she told me bout something earlier that the state boards of nursing are having a hard time on non American citizen to work there. Her friend's daughter is having a hard time which has a working visa holder working in a state, she hasn't turned to immigrant yet so the hospital issues her to transfer. Her agency plans to transfer her to Qatar. Makes sense right? So might as well go to another country that doesn't need the NCLEX...

I just need to reset my goals and I am going go!

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

sweet distractions

i need some few minutes time off for all the rustling and brain jerking situations! hai in short a break hahahaha

hmmmm i guess i had a lot of breaks already since i can't fully concentrate due to so many stimuli that my mind can't settle! hahahhaha so to top of it all this would be an entry about my dilemmas inside my head... other words distractions!!


1. spotted my new lefty island...
Justify Full
i 've been reviewing to enhance myself in taking the board exams, exactly 28 days to go and here i am stuck in the computer typing again these words since reading those books would drive me crazy...

my eyes "again" had spotted someone peculiar, to my opinion that is...

hahaha i dunno, if i post his picture i'll be dead instead a link would be not so harmful enough hahhaha... ( click above)

i call him lefty because he's a left handed, island since we basically live in the same area! i only knew he existed during graduation practice days... weird but then again he's ok and not a shabby type of person also hahhahha and the others reasons i don't know.... since my father actually are friends with his dad, and i only realized that he looks like my classmate from high school... hmm maybe those are the things that we're kinda peculiar, the amazing part is he knows i existed yey! hahahaa too much for luck and i'm beginning to think i've become a somewhat stalker not to him but to my mind of scenes flashing on my head with him involve.... weird

so that's like 60% that covers my head from thinking a lot


2. facebook addict

it's just a simple website that usually offers the same profile, pictures and comments from other users, but it has games!! hahahah

basically i've been into this facebook thingy around feb-march this year... i liked the idea of the games at first but it has other surprises

with all the posting so easy and that people can literally be informed of the things you are doing to your profile. also, it never detects if you're viewing other's profile which is so neat! hahahaha

but basically the games are the ones who got me hooking up...


3. anxiety

it's simple and its everywhere! i've been gaining weight a lot and having bad dreams of failing! waaaah i think my unconscious mind is already freaking out but my concsious is awake and feels oh so lazy hahhaaha... i think i should follow my super ego this time... i do pray like before but temptations always are very tempting hehhehhe ... my new lefty island helps a lot in diverting the anxiety for me.. hehhe

so i guess these distractions are the ones encircling my thoughts hhehehe,
in 2 weeks time, we're packing our bags to get into our houses.... so called reinforcement to take away all those temptations... to me i call this even as simply camping out hehhehe...

i'll be in don bosco, talisay high above with nature heheh ^^

my lefty island will be somewhere else ( i think he's going to shon stat) so that's 1 way off the list, not net = no facebook another wiped out, the anxiety part would be rather difficult.... just wished that all things will go my way hehhehe to be able to pass the board exam^^
