have you ever felt that you have become shallow?
i did.
it happened two weeks ago after i sent a message to one of my friends who was online. we said hi and hello. then i started whining about my conquest for that one great love. of finding a caucasian to fill that need.
it was my turn to ask him how he was doing when he said something about himself.
i felt like i was slapped to wake up from becoming shallow. here i am complaining about my luck in dating when a friend is facing a real challenge.
how often do we complain about our situation? do we ever get to pause and think deep to realise that we are still blessed?

JB
searching for that one person begins with you being happy and in love with your self. i will not settle for what is available and convenient.

Jaded No More
to begin with, i was jaded.
but then, my aunts, who have not stopped taking care of my worries. next, my sister, who has served as my "negotiator." then there's benj, yash and matet- all of them never stopped encouraging me and just being with me.
to end, life is not that bad at all.
Thank You!

Cameo Appearance
hi.
i'm making an appearance here at my blog. grabe, been working for how many days and my strength cannot just measure up sa demands ng buhay ko. so heto, my blog missed me so much.
***
mark
right now, i feel na malapit na akong maburn out from work. para hindi dumating sa ganong moment, i really try to go out during my rest days. i watched spiderman and ate my comfort foods. di bale ng maubos ang pera basta hindi lang mabaliw from the stress sa work.
bukod dito, there is one person who makes me not give up with my present work- si mark. ganito kasi yon, we were batch mates when i worked in egypt. we had the same experiences- mga katoxican, code blue, nakakainis na patients at mga superiors. kaso, after one year, umalis ako. leaving him all alone sa kabaliwan ng egypt.
recently, nagkita kami. and everytime na napag-uusapan ang work sa egypt, lagi niya akong kinakantiyawan na mas matatag siya kasi hindi siya bumigay. well. everytime i feel so tired and i just want to quit, i think of him making fun of me.
well, leche ka mark! i will not give you the satisfaction of me quitting work again. anyway, salamat. kasi it gives me another reason to strive harder.
***
big
i'm getting big. again. after my successful weight loss prior to my hiring date, i am back being busy getting big.
pano naman, i fuel up again by eating. like a lot! kainis. kasi,i do not want to get big again. i really wanted to be healthy as my exposure to patients who did not choose the healthy way keeps bugging me.
with that, i want to take up swimming lessons. i want to have a good form and really know how to do it. i also want to gain strength. kakapagod magbuhat ng mga taong three times ang bigat saken.
plus, it could also be a way of releasing my stress from work. need to start asap.

school
i could not say that i have changed my old ways. tinatamad pa rin ako minsan sa paggawa ng assignment. but i hope, this semester will be different.
kaya i will stop blogging muna. bye!

Package Deal
hi!
im back. but not for long. right about now, i am late for nearly two weeks for my assignments in my class and i still need to lose about three kilos so i can definitely say i am safe for hiring.
work is work. still adapting to the routines and to the hugeness of patient assignment. before, i only handled two patients for each shift. now? minimum of three!
my preceptor is the best. though we had a rough time two weeks ago (an incident which i think was a little bit insignificant), i will still say that i got the best one. very patient and very kind to my needs as a newbie.
my new work has a lot of great people. except for two staff nurses who are bitching about their greatness and our weaknesses. well, they are everywhere so i guess i have to deal with them just like the old times.
sleep has been a luxury for me. i am slowly becoming a panda with the eye bags that accompany me during night and afternoon shifts. just like the good old days.
for now, i am going to savor each learning moment and try to be the best that i can be. i have to remind myself that this is what i have been yearning for since 2010.
so the complicated routines, expectations, work load and crazy schedule, they are all part of this blessing.
hey you, how are you doing? i hope you are fine.

Toxic Cartwheels
the past few days i think would top the days where i felt the most stress. toxic!!!
the guy from london has moved to the country side and i guess, i am not to be left out with issues of change.
san culas has finally texted me. this week, we only had three working days due to the holidays. and out of that three, i went to work for only two days since i had to attend to my interviews and exams.
i passed the initial interview the other day and yesterday, i had to sell my skills. the review of my performance was unbelievable that i am close to being hired should i pass the final interview and medical exam.
what is making me feel so much stress is that if i am in with san culas, i have to resign within a span of 9 days. no certificate of employment and i have to pay my loan. though the office may have an idea, it is still hard to bring it out in the open.
i really don't want to burn bridges and i want a merry christmas. transferring means no salary for three months. that i will be living from the support of my family (no savings). and that i will be starting from zero in a new place with no assurance that i will be placed in my favorite area.
as one colleague said, it all boils down to my priority and my one big goal. will the next step bring me closer to my goal?
right now, i feel like i am doing a thousand cartwheels towards my goal.

Headache and The Bones
headache.
one sensation that would describe my stay here. long weekend but long bout with the remnants of the flu virus.
so i started spending my vacation by watching what was supposed to be fitting for holloween- the lovely bones.
well, it was not actually scary. it was heavy. heavy in that it struck a lonely feeling. and a sad one.
but, it was alright. i love mark wahlberg as an actor. i can always relate to his vulnerability. it may not be that strong but it has always been effective.
i think i could never sleep alone anyway. not at these times. but crap, i have always been sleeping on my own.

Report Card
semestral break is finally official.
let me now do an evaluation of my self as a returning student at the post-graduate level.
1. Procrastination
i believe i could ace my exams and assignments if i did not let procrastination rule over me. two of my advanced pathophysiology assignments were done in haste hence, the poor quality.
i am just hoping for a good remark on my final exam and participation from online discussions. this, i should change come next semester.
2. Higher learning
the u.p. approach is different. application and integration of concepts learned bring about higher learning. learning is beyond memorization of concepts.
as for myself, it was not really that different or difficult. this is why i believe i made the right choice in going with u.p.
3. Time management
there was a point during the previous semester when i felt so overwhelmed with school requirements in the midst of a busy work load.
with time management, i believe i will not have difficulty in fulfilling two roles- student and a q.a. and lastly,
4. Discipline
shame on me for wasting a lot of time surfing the net for facebook. really have to have discipline if i want an unblemished academic record.
overall, i give myself a grade of 7 out of 10. this is based on the grades that i have received.
in the mean time, more time for facebook and blogging. (talk about discipline)

Happiness in a Cup
i'm okay now.
after a mcdonald's hot fudge sundae and watching senseless videos on youtube, i'm fine. today is the first day of september. my birthday month. the month when you know that christmas is near.
it was supposed to be happy. and fine. but no, it was not.
after the other boss asked me to do a task like encoding all the audited samples from may to august and after i f***ked up the message of a phone call from my boss (that was according to him) to the revelations benj told me, i could use some breaking down.
i felt suffocated and i could not break free from the disgust that i was feeling towards some people at the jungle called the office.
it was then i decided to go home early. i wanted to scream and break down but i know i got this under my control.
not without the help of sundae. so here i am, blogging and claiming what was stolen from me: happiness.

Drive
i think i could use some beer right now. pwede ring tanduay ice na hindi ko pa rin natitikman hanggang ngayon.
at work, some nurses call us the zombies as if we eat their brains by our mere presence. effort ako everytime i face the world at work. ilang beses pabalik balik sa c.r. para icheck ang mukhang hindi naman nagbabago. wait, ang mukhang hindi pumapayat.
why i am saying this? cause i feel like i am zombie by doing routine things without passion. or something that would make me hunger for more. walang drive.
and still, i feel like there is still no direction with my life and career. hay, gusto ko nang kakaiba. nang something na may saysay.
partly, i need to save myself from botcha girl. parang nahahawa ako sa kababawan ng pag-iisip at conviction. napapadalas ang mga halakhak ko sa kanyang folly.
this is not right. wait, eto rin. this is not right. may mga assignment pa pala ako.
hey charlton, that should drive you!

Friends
today, i spent half of my day at the e. r. observing. timing every movement of the staff. writing notes and any activities that would affect turnaround time.
unconsciously, i was reminiscing the days i worked as a bedside nurse in the critical care unit. conversations and joking around with the doctors and the nurses made me feel that i was working with them. for the first time, i have fallen in love with the emergency room.
i used to hate it. actually, only the atmosphere of doing everything fast. it is the essence of having an emergency. never realized it could be this fun. and then, the promise to myself of not bringing the issue of transferring to the nursing division was just broken.
ms. donna told me i missed nursing. and she was perfectly right.
now the nursing division is on my watch now as the audit started. i feel a lump in my throat just thinking of presenting the results. i know i have to be impartial. but i have to make friends.
so, how shall i do it?

Translator
hay napapagod na ako.
sa pagbabasa ng mga blogs. sa paglilibot sa mundo ng internet. nakakapagod din pala. thing is, wala akong nakapending na trabaho. all requirements were duly submitted before the deadline.
kaso, by next week, magiging masalimuot na ang mundo ko. may presentation ako ng ginawa kong audit tool. tapos baka sumabay pa ang quality circle. on the third week ng buwan na ito, magsisimula na akong mag-audit sa mga nursing floors.
wala pa pala akong data for e.r.!
anyway, it is a friday. relax muna ang buhay kahit nakukulitan ako sa supervisor ko sa pag-eenglish ng mga dapat niyang sabihin. translator ito.

Pagkakamali
sa pagtitipid, nauwi sa paglustay ng natitirang 200 pesos. ito ang aking istorya. ito ang aking katangahan...
i decided to stay here in manila instead of the usual na pag-uwi sa pampanga. i was so in to the idea of spending my day doing some chores na dati e ginagawa ko during sunday night. nagluto ako. nagwalis ng nagwalis. nagpagpag ng mga gamit. nagplantsa.
pero tao lang ako. mahina. nalulumbay. nalulungkot. kaya't nang nagtext si jonathan, walang patumpik tumpik akong nagsabi na wala akong ginagawa at nagtanong kung anong oras magkikita.
bumangon agad at naligo. gumamit ng loofah upang matanggal ang libag. nagtoothbrush. nagpulbos at dali daling nagbihis. tinignan kong muli ang aking wallet. 200 pesos hanggang tuesday. kakayanin ko ba? kebs lang sa banga. masyado akong nalumbay nung friday.
pano naman kasi, umattend ako ng stroke review seminar sa ospital sa pagnanais na magbalik loob kahit papano sa nursing. hindi na ako nagtaka ng magsink in saken na mag-isa ako. siyet, ang liit lang ng department namen! nagmukha lang akong outsider bukod pa sa mga weird looks ng organizers kapag nakikita nila ang department ko.
pag-uwi ko ng bahay nung friday, wala ang kambal. tahimik. walang maingay. walang nag-aaway. walang nagsusuntukan. walang mautusan at walang mauto. nalungkot ako. i felt na loser na naman ako. pero hindi ko na masyadong pinansin at salamat sa sakit ng ulo na naranasan ko sa seminar. natulog na lang ako.
kaya kahapon, pumunta pa rin ako sa paanyaya ng mga tunay na kaibigan. nagsine. nagpop corn at kumain sa metrowalk. masarap ang pagkain. pero mas masarap ang kuwentuhan.
so far, abot sa limang daan ang nagastos ko na. salamat sa pagwiwithdraw sa atm. bago ang weekend na ito, ninais ko na makatipid sa usual na 300 pesos na nagagastos ko tuwing umuuwi ng probinsya. nagkamali ako.
subalit, natutuwa pa rin ako sa pagkakamaling ito.

Positive
hello wednesday!
after punishing my legs yesterday, i am now sitting in my work desk trying to make myself busy. i am almost done with my part for the quality circle and there are no more pending reports.
i am in. in with the regular people working here at the hospital. it does not spark any excitement on my part as i have felt so old with this current job. but, i am setting a goal that is to last more than two years at this hospital!
that would be a great achievement for me since i feel like moving out from a job after working for a year or so. what made me set this goal? i will be applying for loan so i can finish my master's degree. hope i won't regret this decision...
my temper has been on a rampage since yesterday. but in a quiet way. thanks to my office mate who keeps me calm despite the demands of the "boss".
that's it wednesday. i hope i can end this day on a positive note!

Connection
today, another bold step was taken.
dahil nga sa mga pangyayari, lalagi muna ang aking di-mapalagay na kaluluwa sa pilipinas. dito muna ako magtatrabaho while trying to make something of my current work.
to make it more meaningful and productive, nagdecide akong mag-aral ulit. i want to expand my opportunities and at the same time, maging connected pa rin sa nursing.
i will be taking my masters degree and hopefully, matapos ko ito. hindi ko nga lang alam kung pano makakaraos sa tuition and other fees. pag nakapasok sa program, i will be starting this summer.
kumusta naman sa araw araw na sched? pero at least, my steps now have direction and they are all going to my destination. i have realized na dati, walang patutunguhan ang mga decisions ko. walang goal kaya ang mga steps e hindi konektado. it took me this long para marealize ko.
but no reason to whine now. i retracted my resignation and the office is happy that i am staying. at si boss e nagsabi pa na wag ka nang umalis at maging head nurse ka na lang dito since magmamasteral daw ako. in fairness sa kanya, ang taas ng tingin niya sa akin kung ano maabot ko in the future.
i told him na hindi ko muna iniisip yun. all i am thinking is the present. i should know from all the tragedies of my not so distant past.

Haiti
heal the world ang drama sa bahay.
bakit?
pupunta kasi ng haiti ang daddy ko para ayusin ang telecom system dun. how noble of my dad! haha. it happened so fast na hindi pa nabibigay ang kanyang second dose ng anti-cholera e baka umalis na sila ng pinas. scary!
thankful pa rin naman ako dahil kahit papano e may patutunguhan ang graduation ng mga kapatid ko. alam mo naman si mama, kailangan may handa kahit pansit lang. kapag sinabing pansit lang, ibig sabihin nun e mababa sa limang putaheng handa. e good luck naman sa sahod ko at ni ate pag ganun!
so there, heal the world muna tayo. pero heal the cholera muna sana. kasi there is no love in time of cholera. seriously.

Showy
i am using two nokia phones. the ones with the flashlight. it is very light. easy to use. handy and no complications. they also serve as my ever reliable alarm clock when my urge to urinate at 6 am fails. there is no camera in each phone. no radio. no capability to hold an mp3 file. there is also no access to internet.
this is the mobile phone at its most basic form. and i am loving these two phones that i do not plan to change model. but, yeah. that would be unrealistic since i cannot even afford to eat at jollibee for 3 months now.
in my work, i am not a regular staff nurse. i am involved in quality management specifically on the nursing side. sometimes, even the linens. i do a lot of studies-time and motion. i gather and collate them to make monthly reports. it may be light sometimes but as in every work, nothing is easy.
now pardon me for not having any masteral degree. or even enrolled in a program at the moment. due to a series of events, i worked in egypt and ended up here in my present job. there were a lot of breaks but most of them were not just for me. however, i plan to get one.
so there is no need for people to emphasize my current state.
i may be using the simplest nokia model at the market right now but they serve me right. i cannot complain. i do not base my status on the latest mobile phone units.
i may not be working as a nurse right now but i have a working experience that you will never imagine to have if you are working in your current work place. besides, not many nurses are given the chance to work in quality management.
i may not hold a masters degree but i sure do know the nursing process. as an FEU Tamarraw Nurse, we are trained to utilize the nursing process. you can never graduate unless you fully know by heart the steps.
this is it. this is the last time i will ever give a damn to those people who try to belittle me.
i am not showy but i am not dumb.

i may not be working as a nurse right now but i have a working experience that you will never imagine to have if you are working in your current work place. besides, not many nurses are given the chance to work in quality management.
i may not hold a masters degree but i sure do know the nursing process. as an FEU Tamarraw Nurse, we are trained to utilize the nursing process. you can never graduate unless you fully know by heart the steps.
this is it. this is the last time i will ever give a damn to those people who try to belittle me.
i am not showy but i am not dumb.

Old
Dumadalas ang pagshashave ko. Sa tantiya ko, dati, every two weeks kung magshave ako ng balbas. Lately, nagiging every three days.
Napapansin ko din na mas nagiging prominent ang aking adam’s apple. Two years ago, hindi siya actually and partly, yun ata ang dahilan kung bakit parang pambabae ang boses ko.
Nitong mga nagdaang araw, hindi ko na naman makontrol ang pagkain ko. Mas maaga din akong matulog at madalas, inaantok sa trabaho.
Dahil siguro ito sa mga bagay na pinagdadaanan ko. Sa mga desisyon na dapat kong gawin. I feel I’m getting old.
Magpabotox na kaya ako?

Je Ne Regrette Rien (I Regret Nothing)
so there, i signed! and today, i have decided that i will leave this post to pursue my true calling!
this year has started so fast and the things that have happened are quite unbelievable. but this time, my decisions are entirely mine so if i fuck up, there is no one to blame but me.
all are unplanned and i guess, this works for me.
