Another lesson learned.

I remember a long time ago, I hated Julia Montes (was once known as Mara) when she was still a kid. Because i remember the time I had an acting workshop at ABSCBN, there was a time when I bonded with the original little going bulilits cast (they were bulilits that time) and there was this girl named Mara who looks like mataray and doesn't want to interact with us. I sort of hated her because of judging her. And then last time, Julia was guesting on a show and there I found out some things about her and why she acted like that.

Again lesson learned: Don't judge a book by its cover.

Pediatric Nurse

Last April 12, 2012, the assigned unit were given to us. The first list was a list of nurses for the General Nursing Unit and I was so happy when I was not listed there.

I remember when they told us our final unit assignment, I was so happy that I was not assigned to the General Nursing Unit. And then my excitement sort of leveled up.. something like that. and told my self... "OH MY FCKING SHT, I will be aasign to the High Risk Unit... NEUROPSYCHIATRIC UNIT!!"

And then, the list for the high risk unit is next. Yes, I was assigned to the High Risk Unit but not as a Psyche Nurse but as a Pedia Nurse! Still, the floor assigned for me is also one of my favorite but.. I was expecting.. expecting that I will do NPIs, Restrainings, Theracom. Anyway, I love kids and I'm good on taking care of them. God has a good purpose for putting me there. i trust Him and I'll do my best, 100% EFFORT!!

2 months training

I've been busy for two months, I was having a pre-employment training as a hospital nurse and I'm proud to say that I have finished the required training. And now, we are waiting for the call of the hospital and they will tell us when we will start as their staff nurse. I hope I will receive the call as soon as possible and be designated to my desire unit. I believe and trust in God. Please pray for me guys! :)

Our sort of Class Picture

I'm going to miss my batch mates, actually I miss them already. Hope to see them around the hospital.

Behind the suplada face is a friendly girl

Lesson for today: That you can't judge anyone just by looking and observing them. You must know them well and socialize with them. God is good, He made my last challenge to myself super possible.

I told myself that I will know and be close with this certain batchmate and guess what? I did! At first I don't really like her because of her sarcastic actions (which is kinda normal to her) and later on that I found out behind those suplada face is a kind and friendly attitude.

And this made me realize that I should not judge a book by its cover.

Milk Tea

The first Milk Tea I ever drank was from Gong Cha's and I don't hate it or like it. I never like milk teas because it's too mainstream and I like ice creams and yogurts than milk teas but something made me long for a milk tea.

It was a toxic duty day and the charged nurse is really addicted to Serenitea, specifically Winter melon. So they called and ordered at Serenitea in Rada St., Makati City and they have a minimum delivery ordered price something like that I think it's around 300php. Anyway, I was not really on duty on that station, the FRONT Station, I was in the other station which they call REAR. When I just passed by the station, my friend who's having her duty at the said station asked me... actually she forced me to order Serenitea's Okinawa and because of her great convincing power I said "Okay!". That's what we call... PEER PRESSURE!

Make the story short, I got addicted to Serenitea's Okinawa! Although I haven't finished the whole glass and gave it to Eirene. I love it and made me changed my thoughts about milk teas! And until now I'm longing for the taste of Serenitea's Okinawa. I hope I can have another milk tea from Serenitea! I'll try to visit Serenitea at Rada St. after duty :)

I do believe every de los Santos is a blood type A

I just found out that there's another de los Santos from RTRMS-MMC (MMC-CN) and I thought she's a blood type A but no, she's a blood type B. And now, I know na that not all de los Santos is a blood type A. And I also found out from my mother that Bernardino de los Santos, the first gobernadorcillo of Bacolod is our great xIdontknowthenumberoftimes grandfather. My mother is from Bacolod and I do believe that he is really my LOLO! :)

As of now, I met three de los Santos in my alma mater and one of them, I treat her like a real cousin and also as a best friend. That's all! Toodles!

New Obsession

I was a hallyu addict when I was in grade six that was around 2001-2002, the period where SES, HOT, Baby Vox etc are still the popular kpop singers until Hallyu became TOO MAINSTREAM. I stopped watching korean dramas at around 2010 because I'm too busy preparing myself for the graduation and Local Nursing Board Exam.

Oh yes, this is all about City Hunter; this is my new obsession. I know I'm kinda late but it's better to be late than never!! I started to have interest with this Korean drama when I've watched the second episode of the drama (actually the second half of the 1st episode because the series is cut down into 30 minutes of running time) accidentally at ABSCBN after watching PBB. I was impressed with the cinematography of the series, no wonder they said that this is the most expensive Korean series. I haven't watched Lee Min Ho (Oh yes, I haven't watched Boys Over Flowers) except for I am Sam where he only has a minor role. Anyway, Lee Min Ho's acting skills are superb! I love him na. My brother are not really interested on any Korean drama except for this one. I haven't finished the series due to busy schedule but I'll try this weekend. That's all guys, I'll have my first duty later at 1400H until 2200H. Toodles and God bless to all of you!

PLANNER WHORE?

It's been how many days since my last post, I was too busy with my pre employment training in a world class hospital in Makati City, Philippines. Well, God bless to our batch and I hope we can surpass the training and be absorbed by the hospital as staff nurses :)

This post I'm going to make is about my old planners and of course my 2012 planner. I should have made this entry at around January and I know it's kinda too late but I will post it anyway.

As far as I remember, I started using a planner way back year 2000 and I was grade 4 that time, it was a Rugrats planner with a calculator; I bought it in a Christmas bazaar. My first four planners are gone and no where to be found. Anyway, here are my past planners

2003: I bought this Mashimaro Planner in a garage sale near our school.

2004: I bought this planner in a Korean store

2005: From the Korean store again :P

2006: I was a big fan of Korean planners until that Korean store closed T.T

2007: Because my favorite store was closed, I tried Papelmerotti’s Monthly Planner.
2008-2009: My most precious/overused planner! It was a pocket size green planner from National bookstore. I used it for two years, I just bought a refill from the bookstore for 2009. I also bring this on my duties, inside my “Mahiwagang Bulsa”.


Some Nursing stuff!
Some drug studies.

Busy 2011

LIFE AS A PROJECT NURSE

It's been a while since my last post. I was a bit busy by the end of 2011, I got a part time job as a project nurse in a company; where we are distributed in companies to do some health projects like Audiometry, Pulmonary Function Test etc. Our first health project started last December 6, 2011 up to December 23, 2011 in a well known tobacco company in Marikina. Most of my duties are PM shift, had one AM shift and one 24 hour duty and this job is not like the usual 8hour duty but we have a 12 hour duty per day. I had a super hassle and tiring duty, actually not the duty itself but the commuting part. I live somewhere in the boundary of Paranaque and Pasay, and going to Marikina took me 4 hours due to traffic and also it took me 4 hours going home also due to traffic and long line in MRT Cubao. And yeah, my sleep is also 4 hours haha! To make the story short; even the commuting part is a bit hassle I enjoyed working on that company, we had a free meal and snacks and I also enjoyed the company of my new friends. I've learned lots of things from that duty and I also thank God, He gave me this opportunity and gave me a solution to have money before Christmas! Thank you, God.

I've been waiting for this!

I graduated at Remedios Trinidad Romualdez Memorial School-Makati Medical Center (known today as Makati Medical Center, College of Nursing) batch 2010. And as a graduate of this school we all I mean almost all of us dreamt to work in Makati Medical Center. I received a text from the Training department of MMC last December 6, 2011 (first day of my work as a project nurse) and the text contains a message telling me that I have an exam the next day, 9am! My work finish around 6AM and I need to be in the hospital before 9am. To make another story short, as usual I had a 3 hour ride going to Makati and came to the hospital at exact 9am and had my exam mostly of my answers are only guess haha! I've been bum for two years and I can't remember anything from the exam! And I finish the exam at around 11am and got home at around 12nn and woke up around 3pm to prepare for my next duty.

After two weeks since the exam, I was not expecting to receive a text from the Training Department. The training department texted me, telling that I need to call the hospital to know the schedule of my interview and I was scheduled on December 23, 2011, 9am; that's our last day in the tobacco company and I have a PM shift duty so I decided to have a 24 hour duty on December 21-22. Before December 23, Kate helped me to prepare for the interview, I studied the 12 competencies, made a script etc.

December 23, 2011; THE DAY! I'm in a corporate outfit and nervous. I saw a 4 batchmates, 1 from the higher batch and two outsiders (from CEU and Southville). All of us are nervous and praying that we have a nice line of panels. And then, I saw my former CI and guess what?!? She's one of the panels which gave me a good vibe because she's one of the best and "mabait" na CI's. Our interview went well, lots of laughs than tensions, not like the rumors I've heard from past interviews.

By the end of 2011, I realized that I received so much blessings from God. God gave so much because He wants me to teach me something as well of course to reward me. Because of this overwhelming gifts, He taught me how to prioritize, how to control, how to be patient and He taught me how to live in reality. Thank you Lord God for the blessings and lessons.

Anyway guys, I haven't greeted you so here; Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Have a blessed 2012!

Yeung Chow Fried Rice/Les fleurs en gorgé de soleil.

I'm the girl who hates to cook but love to eat. There are only two reasons why I hate cooking. First, I need to wash and clean all the equipments I have used and second, I'm too lazy to cook. Anyway, last month I was watching Janice de Belen's cooking show, Spoon and they are cooking by that time was our family favorite, Yeung Chow Fried Rice. In that show, they demonstrated the best way to cook the rice. And then, I got interested and then started cooking. Anyway, I cooked a Yang Chow Fried Rice for our breakfast, you need patience and hard work cooking this rice. Fortunately, it was a success! YAY!

A sample shot of my very own Yeung Chow Fried Rice

I just want to share to you, that I am a messy cook haha! But after cooking, I need to clean the stove and also the materials and equipments I've used that's what I have learned from the Disney movie, Ratatouille.

Colette: [Linguini is making a mess at the kitchen]
What is this? Keep... your... station clear!

My parents love my Yeung Chow Rice! I also used Crab sticks rather than shrimps because that's the only available ingredient on our fridge haha! xP

Les fleurs en gorgé de soleil.

Early morning boredom. I saw my father watering our plants and then out of boredom I took some photos of our plants. Here are some sample photos.






I need your comments, suggestions and violent reactions.

BORED!

This is what I do when I am bored.

Blackout/A day with Dr. Jau Fei Chen

Okay, I've been staring at our PC for 2 hours and thinking what should I put on my blog. I still have no idea what should I put on my new entry. Anyway, it is already November 6, 2011, time goes fly so fast, it's already November and I still don't have a permanent job. I trust God and believe in him that he will give me a nice and wonderful job in a right time. Lets start our November with smile and positive vibes! Have a wonderful November!!

Anyway, I'm having a problem on my blogroll. I'm planning to change my blogroll's look because it looked booring haha! Can anyone help me on this problem of mine? haha

A Day with Dr. Jau Fei Chen
November 5, 2011

Last Saturday, Dr. Jau Fei Chen had a seminar here in the Philippines. I oh I mean, we were so amazed with her intelligence and being a life advocate.

with the President of our former school, Makati Medical Center-College of Nursing, President Eden Cacanindin (the one in yellow).

The N.I. girls. (L-R) Dana Fuerte, Me and Kitkit Delos Reyes

Our healthy lunch from Via Mare.

I've got this from the raffle of Elemente, it's a lip balm!

Football related issues: Loving the Philippine League

Months later after the big game in FIFA 2010, Azkals became a popular name. It was a sort of a nickname for the Philippine National Football Team. And because Azkals are mostly consist of handsome half Filipino and half something, girls are now drooling over them and honestly, I'm one of them. And yes, until now I support them not because they are handsome lads but because I'm a Filipina, I shall support my Kababayans! My Kalahi!

And now, I'm getting hook to United Futbol League, a local league here in the Philippines. And there are five local teams/club that I support that would be the KAYA Futbol Club, Air Force Phoenix, Global Football Club, Loyola Meralco Sparks and Team Socceroo (which consist of 9 Brazilian Japanese!!). And I hope that football will be loved by the Pinoys like how they love Basketball. Toodles!

Football related issues: Loving the American League

Do I like or love an American team? When I was asked what is your favorite American football club? The first club that's comes to my mind is the LA Galaxy. I love the team because David Beckham is in that team. But my love for that team is not like how I love Arsenal and Real Madrid. I love LA Galaxy because of David Beckham and that's all. And like I said in my previous post, David Beckham is my first football player crush.

Speaking of LA Galaxy, they are going to visit the Philippines this December 3 and yes with David Beckham! I'm so excited for this!!

Football related issues: Loving the Spanish League

Spain also has one of the most popular players and club. Yes, I also have a favorite team. There are only two clubs that I will love forever and ever, Arsenal FC and CF Real Madrid. CF Real Madrid is a Spanish football club. I fell in love with CF Real Madrid because most of the players of Spain National Football Team are in this team, either in Real Madrid CF or FC Barcelona. What does Real Madrid did to attract me to their club, hmmm... I think it was because of Xabi Alonso? Xabi Alonso is one of my Spanish NT crushes. By the time I'm starting to love Real Madrid I still don't know that Ronaldo and Kaka exist. Just found out about Cristiano Ronaldo because my ex-boyfriend talked about him one time and just found out about Kaka when I saw a huge advertisement in C5 about him and he's my little brother's favorite football player. And like, Arsenal, as games passed by I learned to love the whole team and even the manager, Jose Mourinho!

Like Arsenal FC, I also fell in love with Real Madrid's kit uniform because of its simplicity, a color white with some touch of gold or blue (home colours).

And for me, Real Madrid has the most beautiful logo ever!

I also tried to love FC Barcelona, yes I did but I don't why I can't haha! Even though the best football palyer is there (Leo Messi).

Anyway, Real CF will be the only Spanish football team that I will love until I die!
