Long Weekend.... You Wish!

Oh... I love it whenever November is coming, I remember that it is the time where we, College students will be having our first long vacation as it is indeed our Semestral Break, that after struggling with our homeworks, long lectures, midterms examination, case studies, Nursing care plans, final examination, boring duty (lolz) and so on, we are finally free and is hoping that days would be extended and give us enough rest before the next semester.

But I graduated last 2010 and work and November has been one of the most foreseen days as it will give me long weekend as November 1 and 2, sometime October 31 was always declared a holiday thus, It'll give me longer rest period and I am being paid for that. Of course, I'll visit my love ones in the memorial park and will spend some couple of hours there but I am still relaxed, stress free and resting.

But not now, I am now working in an International Company and we don't have holidays in here, though we are paid doubled during those days but still, I still miss those days wherein me and my friends used to have halloween party somewhere and now everything is totally different. 

But then, I should realized that things will never be the same before I entered this industry right? and so I should move on and adjust on it. So, I just visited my loved ones during my off and get back to work as usual.

and besides we should never be disappointed on it because we are gonna be paid in double plus the night differential will be doubled as well, thus I should be looking for a good pay instead lolz

Enjoy your nice long weekend everyone!

Childhood Friends Reunion

I am really having second thought if I will go though I am the one who organized it. I am so afraid to show myself to them. Well, not actually afraid that I am so scared and I am avoiding them because there's something not good that happened in the past but I am afraid that they might tell something not so good about what I am now.

To tell you the whole thing. Today, at 8 p.m. in a not so crowded place in bulacan, Me and some of my childhood friends decided to meet and believe it or not it has been  11 years since the last time I see them and now I wonder, how they are and I wonder what they'll think about me during the meet up.

I lived in many places in Bulacan, I spent my first dozen of years in district 4 of bulacan and of course I have met a lot of friends there that I really do treasure while the other dozen of years of my life were spent to the town I am currently right now, and I never been to that place I was before. Thus, I never kept in touch with them, we all just met again in Facebook and all agreed to meet and have a nice update-chat.

But it's been 12 years and I can say that I am totally different now. I know I really changed a lot. From my appearance, with my charm, with my attitude, with my character and my way of life and what I feel so pressured about is their impression of me after all of those years. Of course, who wanted to get bad impressions anyway?

My Last Day in School

Yes! Fortunately and literally speaking it is indeed my last day in my Masters class because last Saturday, I just finished and earned my 36 units that will allow me to get the comprehensive exam by December and if I pass it will allow me then to defend my thesis.

It has been a year since I enrolled to get a post graduate degree which is Master of Arts in Nursing. I am always been dreaming to enter this field as I wanted to facilitate and teach nursing students and will soon develop young competitive nurses like me (chos!) as well. I was actually inspired by my mentors to aspire this and I know, that yes, this might be not the right time to have the degree (as nursing in the Philippines is kind a disaster nowadays) but I still pursue it and I know my time will come that I will be like my mentors too.

We are not just RNs!! We are RNs!!

I was once asked about which Pre-Medicine course is better and I answered ‘Nursing’ without any doubt and I expound it by saying that “Yeah! We might not have the broad medicinal knowledge as physicians have but at least we have all the foundations to it thus, I think nursing will be beneficial as well”

After I said that, an acquaintance answered back “No it should be Medical Technology, because they study almost the same thing as what Physician takes in medicine proper” actually with an eyebrow raised

“Well, I just stated my opinion” I just said smiling, I am not opposing her opinion anyway

I am always proud that I am a Nurse with Units in Masters (actually almost finishing it! Yipee) though we all now that nursing in the Philippines is really not well nowadays but still when people asks me what course did you take, I answered “Nursing” with my chin up and if they asked if I am already licensed I used to say “Of course!”

I may sound so arrogant but I am not. I am just proud that I’ve finished a course who is not just hard but is needing a lot of heart for you to understand its concept and I am proud to say that I am not me if I didn’t took up nursing, because nursing really builds me. Yeah, I am so proud that I am a nurse but it didn’t makes my head grow big. I know the trials and hardships of nurses around the world thus I won’t let anybody says something not nice regarding Nursing.

But as I was browsing facebook, there is a photo which is going viral. It is actually a series of conversation between two people who is talking about which pre-med course will be better and I didn’t like what I just saw
