...it's not a bit. I've long forgotten how enjoyable it is to blog ( Read more... )

After some angsty brooding these past few days, I finally decided to suspend my primary facebook account-temporarily-until I have achieved my short term goal: receive an approved application for the bridging course for nurses in Australia OR work in KSA as a nurse/NA (at this point in my career, I really don't care about the position anymore).

Omi is officially back to blogging, banzai! Random rants are still her specialty mmhmm...

Must make new icons! And a good facelift for my blog would also be nice. Will study customization once the senior nurses finally let me off the medication duty. I can't wait to be rotated to the emergency room next year.

Been missing out on a lot of things (and ( Read more... )

Monday morning started normally for my family--dad and mom woke up as early as 6 (which was a feat, considering my mom's usual waking pattern), and I slept in 'til 8 am.

Dad had to report to the office of his arrival in the country.

Yes, I tagged along--even though I have a "rationalization" class to attend in Kaplan today.

The earlier part of the day ( Read more... )

Just had my blood works done yesterday, including OGTT. The med tech made me drink a nauseatingly sweet concoction and made me wait for two more hours before the M.T. withdrew another blood sample.

Got my results this morning.

dot.dot.dot.

Why is my SGPT elevated? (Did a little research a while ago. Oh~so now it's called ALT now.)

It's as the title says...

A hundred and eighty hours of lab work (translation: read basics book, watch lecture videos in primitive VHS format together with the course book, review what was read and watched, answer practice questions---then die from cold stress) to be completed, and where am I right now?

In my fourth week of lab, with only 44.90 hours ( Read more... )

"I'm twitching," sabi ko kay elfen_jed  kanina sa simbahan.

Ngumiti lang siya (in his own unsmiling way) at sinabing, "Iniisip mo kasi eh!" Hindi nalalayo sa sinabi niya ang sinabi sa akin ni Mama kaninang umaga.

More than a month ago, dinamba ako ng isa sa mga alaga kong aso. Nagresulta iyon sa isang maliit na gasgas sa braso ko. Nilinis ko at sinubukang ( Read more... )

Because it's been two boring long weeks since I quit being a volunteer. Even after almost 8 months of selfless a.k.a. no-pay professional service, they didn't hire me--as well as the other less fortunate (meaning we don't know/aren't close to anyone working in a certain local government unit) as regular employees.

As my sour-graping self said: "At ( Read more... )

LoL.

Just had to steal that line from the newly appointed chief nurse. Master Jedi was the very first "recipient" of said phrase.

The two-day seminar sponsored by St. Luke's Heart Institute was finally over yesterday and almost all the GABMMC volunteers decided to duke it out at a certain karaoke place in SM Lazaro late last night. As if singing lung ( Read more... )

Because Ate Jen fed my "hangover" with the movie "Mamma Mia" by sending me Meryl Streep's version of the song, which was the title of the movie. Now, I'm still in search of her version of "The Winner Takes It All."

...talk about Abba songs "obsession"...

And we (Mama Auds, Ate Jen, Ate Jenn Jenn, Ate Zai and
