KIWI

I have been watching some bittersweet materials this week. this evening, ate rochie showed me a short animation called "KIWI". the character was cutesy patootsky, but the film just gave me a kick at the end. wooh. *tears* go on. watch it!

I have also see "7 POUNDS" starring will smith. i've seen the movie 3 times on HBO but i've never started it.

bored

haaay. life is sooo boring!!! what do i do to make it a little more exciting?

Life of a Glutton

Yes, i am a self confessed glutton. or WAS. i don't get to eat as much as i want to. but it's a good thing i guess. too much of everything is bad anyway.

Lounging

Lounging at Starbucks, Calamba. I fought for this seat. nah... haha im exaggerating.

Back to blogging

Ronald McDonald has been my profile picture ever since Sanctuaryo was created. just now, i thought of changing it. But i dunno what picture i'd change it to. So, i finally decided not to change anything here. haha. big deal. whatever.

I wonder why i cannot log in to a certain website with my connection. In other providers (rather, in places with free wifi), i can log in without any problem. it frustrates me.

I'm such a whiner! haha. sorry about that...

Let me tell you about something nice.

This week, i was able to apply for a volunteer job as a nurse in Laguna Provincial Hospital with the help of my cousin- in- law, ate Ginny. Without, her, i won't be able to get a spot on that hospital. (i don't agree with the whole system, but in times of great need, we have to go with the flow). Anyway, the volunteer work will start on March 2011. THANKS, ATE GINNY! Geez, i still have a few months to fill in. What to do??? argh... actually,here are my options..

1. I can apply for a Med-Rep position in Invida (i met Biboy's classmate in elementary who is now a director area manager for the company. she said i can go and take the exam immediately)--my predicament is, if i'd get the position, i am just going to be with the company for only 4 months. Is it worth it to work for a company for only 4 months? and will it be fair for them? Daddy's advice: concentrate on nursing practice first. make it a priority.

2. Look for other hospitals that are in need of nurses. i personally want to try out working in maternal and child lying-in clinics. i want to have be good at delivering babies. :)

3. Enroll in trainings such as IVT (which is a necessity), ACLS-BLS-CPR trainings, etc. But this will cost moolah. i've been living on charity for 3 years now. i want to earn again (says my id)... but i need trainings so i can be good at what i do, patience is a vitue (says my super ego)... My ego is confused right now.

4. Be active with Red Cross.. (i'm always available for red cross, unless i'm doing something else at the moment ). i want to experience a 'real rescue'.

5. Just wait for March 2011 and do nothing else... just facebooking... (ha! no way! scrap this option out. i'd be bored to death)

6. Just wait for March 2011 and do something unrelated to nursing like photography or capoeira or events organizing (haha... my gosh, this is tempting!!!! i want (says my id)!!! but not practical (says my super ego) cos i need to be focusing on nursing practice... *sighs* I MISS THE ART SCENE! Oh well... i can do this on the side, i guess... i've got lots of ideas for our Christmas party. hihi.

7. Apply as a private duty nurse and take care of the rich elderly people in Ayala Alabang. (hrmmm... it's a good idea cos i'd be able to practice nursing, at the same time, get paid to do it. still, i have to think if it's feasible given the time frame)

8. Buy a franchise of a certain food chain and make moolah out of it... (again, FOCUS!)

9. Review for IELTS, a requirement to get a job in Canada. From what i heard, it has its validity for 3 years (i think). timing is of the essence here, too. Should read on details about this.

Ok, so these are fresh thoughts from my neurons. Have to work my butt on this by next week.

Kaya yan! :)

unfair life is.

3 days at Health Care Advantage Institute.

ok.. so that's me @ the virtual ICU. i was taking care of the dummy. :)

Birthday blog (LATE POST) #1

Sept. 28, 2010-Dahil hindi ko dala ang aking journal at wala nang space a aking phone (para maka pag 'blog'), dating gawi ulit - sa scratch paper nalang mag sulat. isang dakilang nars na ako dahil registered na. kulang nalang ay yung physical license at yung ID ko. shempre, practice sa hospital din.

kasama ko si Royce kanina... sa october 19 ko pa makukuha ang license ko.may mga pamilyar na mga mukha akong nakita kanina tulad ni Ruby at ni Justine. *haaay*... sana naman maging effective at maging efficient ako na nars pag nasa hospital na ako. kelangan ko talagang magsanay na maging mabilsi sa lahat ng mga bagay. kanina nakikinig ako kay Royce tungkol sa mga kwento nya sa hospital nakikinig palang ako, pagod na ako. IKAW NA ANG BAHALA SAAKIN, LORD!

Birthday ko nga pala ngayon. 28 years old sa September 28. buti hindi ako dinatnan ng birthday blues. pagod siguro kaya hindi na nakapag senti. haha. Gusto ko kumain mamaya sa indian resto. sa new bombay ako kakain mamaya. hindi naman ako makapagimbita kasi wala nang battery yung phone ko.Arggh. nagugugtom na ako!

---

Nakita ko yung sarili ko sa salamin kanina. ANG PAYAT KO!!! Gusto ko tumaba ng konti sa mukha. ngunit paano?! naku naman. kelangan mag plano na ako sa aking game plan... game plan sa buhay. gayun pa man, kelangan kong matutong mag chill. Chillax lang. wag mashadon OC. OCness wastes time. basta dapat organized ako. So help me God.

Amen.

Dear Lord, I am such a nervous wreck right now. Im afraid, i still cannot handle too much stress in my life. i mean.... this one i have right now is not even a problem to others. but for me... for me it's something.... if you think about it, it's simple but... arrrgh! i think, what i cant handle is shame of asking favors because of stupid mistakes.....

as they say, mistakes make you stronger in the long run... but i hope i wont make grave mistakes! not in nursing... not ever!

Help me God. Thanks.
