A day with you is a day worth remembering :)

I went to the hospital today to go on duty--well technically its yesterday? :) 11/24/12 :) I was really hoping to see you and well.. HOPING THAT YOU'D BE THE FRONT LINE NURSE so that I'd be able to chitchat with you.. And in my mind.. Spend the afternoon with you? :) OA! HAHAHA. Yes. I daydream.. A LOT. But I will definitely tell you when I'm just daydreaming/blogdreaming. Would that be fine? :)) HAHAH. To cut my chuchu short.. He was the frontliner!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY for me :) When he saw me he said "Long time no see a." And at the back of my mind.. "YUN O. Namiss mo ko?" But I just smiled at him coz he might think na ang kapal ko namerrrn! WHICH IS TRUE!! HAHAHAH :)) BTW.. I haven't seen him in weeks and I kindov texted him that I missed him one time so.. AWKWARD LANG! Pero kebs! Di naman rumereact un.. 

So yun.. TOXIC! TOXIC! TOXIC! Puro kami intubated patients --toxic na toxic sya.. 

Pero ako naman.. KEBERR! I guess basta kasama ko sya.. I'd be fine? :) Plus I've learned a lot from him today :) Teacher peg? :) E teachers pet nalang akech? Ipush ko yaan! :)) OA LANG!!

Anyway.. Drama muna ko ha? :))

I really like him.. Pero I know that it will never happen.. The "US" in my mind will never happen.. Or should I think it would happen? Baka sakaling maging truelaloo? LOL. Wala lang.

He's really intelligent kase.. And he talks sense at keri naman ang humor and nafeefeel kong foodie din siya which makes him more interesting.. I knoooow. I'd die of fatness na but ang cool lang na he likes food. He's a bit conscious about his weight din naman ata pero not so? Very John Lloyd peg siguro? :)) Yes may taba sya sa tummy pero keri pa naman. I LIKE E! HAHAHA.

Nung mga 6 or past 6 ata the other 2 volunteers went out to grab a bite I didn't wanna go out coz he won't go out plus I was doing a procedure so I just told them na later na ako kakaen :) ALONE TIME WITH THE POGI STAFF! HIHIHI :* LANDI MODE!! :)) LOL. NOT. Toxic pa din.. Di na kami iniwanan ng toxicity. Wow. Nung pagbalik nung dalawa.. I think I just finished doing a procedure? So un.. I saw that they got Dunkin' Donuts.. I THOUGHT THEY WERE FOR US! HAHAHA. Ok.. Technically it was for Lew but not for me.. YEAP. Kakapalan.. Sabi ko.. "Uy grabe.. Salamat sa donut a! :))" And inalok ako ni Lewis ng isang donut and di man lang ako nagisip na di kunin.. I grabbed it and thanked him! :)) AT PERA NYA PALA UN. Sorry. Akala ko talaga bitbit nung dalawa.. He asked them to get him something pala.. So un. Wala lang. Natuwa lang ako na inalok nya ako! Yay for free donut!! :)) Nahiya naman ako nung kinain ko diba? Pero baket ba? Care nya? HAHAHA. I like him so kebs! Kainin ang inalok! :)) So yun. As I have said earlier.. TOXIC KAMI. AS IN TOXIC NA NAKAKAUMAY. Before leaving --I had to do a procedure and he hid my phone and told me that he'll give it to Dr. Verde and ask him to find who the owner is. LOL. ANO BA KASE. IKAW NA NGA ANG GUSTO KO E. :/ TOKWA!! && I wasn't planning on going pa nga since he's still in his chair e. He asked me about something and shared his friends story.
OA KO ATA FOR ALWAYS THINKING NA SAKIN LANG SYA NAGSSHARE? Choz! BASTA UN! :))

BTW. I called him MR. POGI that afternoon. WOW MARA.. LAKAS MAKAGIVEAWAY NG KAGUSTUHAN? WOW. HAHAH. 

Amazing day thanks to you :D

Searching for that perfect university/college. :)

Okay so I said / mentioned in a blogpost that I will be taking up my MA soon.. I guess? Ack. Well hopefully!! *CROSSING MY FINGERS*

And now I'm on the lookout for the perfect college/university.. Well I must pass the entrance exam first.. Then present my options to papang.. Then he'll decide which school is the best --or well.. According to his standards. Hooooh. :| :( :) Too much emotions? LOL

A bit of a background about papang (my dad's dad / grandfather).. 
He is a lawyer. 
UP Law. 
#6 in the Bar Exam. 

I will never be as intelligent as that man. I MEAN SRSLY? One of the top 10 in the freakin bar exam? I died. LOL.
I wasn't sure at first but.. I guess his picture or his name is somewhere in UPD -Law? --Reasons why his nieces didn't go for UP Law. :/ Ooh. Pressured? SAME HERE. =))

I know that having him as a grandfather would mean more pressure coz I'm not that kind of person.. I don't have study habits or study sesh with myself but his trust meant so much to me..
He offered me this opportunity and at first I backed out. FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS!! I hated my thesis group way back college and I'm traumatized by that experience.. So as not to remember the past.. I sort of rejected Papang's offer. But, I woke up one morning knowing that I would need that degree as soon as I stepped into the hospital field.. So I talked to him and ask if the offer still stands and well he said yes so.. YAY!! :>

HAHA. Dami kong sinabi no? Sorry. Just had to blog about this. I'm still up its 436am and I couldn't sleep actually. I went out for milk tea with the boys and I shared this with them and I guess.. I'm on the right / better path! :>

More enlightenment sana. But I think I need to rest my eyes now. I must visit the schools later this morning to verify the scheds of the entrance examinations + their fees / unit price. Ack. HELP MEEEEEEE!!!!! :">

YAWNING!!!! HAHAHA. K! Babu! 

Love to all! HAHAHA

Resolved issues? :) I HOPE!! :)

I have loads of issues lately.. I'm 22 and jobless [for everyone to know.] I'm enjoying the bum life so far but I wish to get a nursing job soon. I don't like being inseparable with my bed for it makes me feel too comfy and it feels like it doesn't want me out of it. HAHA. Yes. I have a daily affair with my bed since I don't really have to go out and work. =))

Anyhoo the first issue would be me training for where ever. I wanted to get the BLS again since I wasn't able to use it when I trained last 2010 so papang provided for the renewal and yay for that! :) And I've always wanted to have the nephrology training but I guess that's not gonna be considered now.. The fee is too much and the fickle minded person in me doesn't want that anymore.. So.. What now?

Ever since Papang [grandfather] went back [he's just visiting us here] he's been wanting me to improve my skills and my education coz  I'm pretty sure he knows that nurses these days are over flowing and that I must always be updated and must be at my best to be given the chance to be a nurse in a hospital. He offered to pay for my MA education.. At first I didn't really see why I should take up MA --Not really interested in the academe part of Nursing. I have very short tolerance and patience for students like me. HAHA. So there.. I kinda rejected the offer and told him that I would rather take up the Nephrology training [which he didn't  find amusing. HAHA] so I had to search for that kind of training and now.. I find it as boring as myself. LOL. But seriously.. My friends were like "BAT DI MO GRINAB?!" "ANO BA YAN MARA!! Walang kwenta ang dating ng Nephro!" "Gusto mo bang mastock sa Renal centers?" when they learned about the masteral and the nephro thingy. I guess they were right. It was a wrong move to take up the training instead of the MA education that papang has been wanting me to get..

With that..

I'd be calling schools on Tuesday to ask for the requirements and hopefully and crossing my fingers to get this MSN-MedSurg degree after my name. :)

I'll work hard for this!! And I think all the PROs are making me want this more than anything right now! :)

Improvement is what I need now :)

What do you think, loves? :)

First day of October :)

ANOTHER LATE POST :))

Since my contract with my former employer ended last Sept 20, I have been a BUM since. Or not.. I'm still volunteering for PGH but there are days that I just wanted to rest so.. No duty for me.. Just me and my bed :))

Say Hi to mi mumma in blue! :>

Padre Pio church in Eastwood -before Libis :)

What I love most about this chapel / church is the amazing place and good sermon/s of priests :) They don't talk about politics when giving the sermon. And this church is actually a dedication of Mr. Rodriguez :) Really amazing church and a place where you'd really want to pray and be a part of :)

Our favorite mini resto before Shopwise :)
Blushing Cupcake!! :)

We started eating here since we started going to Padre Pio :) Its been years and I must say the food is really delish! They have cupcakes and cakes as well as short orders that are pretty much affordable because of the quality of the food that they serve :D Visit them!! You would never regret eating there! :)

Here's mi momma eating her fave :)

My foodie! Ever favorite chicken and mushroom pasta! :)

Since I'm super new at this I hope you appreciate and continue to read :) Hihihi :*

Was there ever a time..

Was there ever a time that you wished you were someone else? :|

I've always dreamt of being in one of the top 4 schools in the Metro but since DLSU [only their Dasma branch offered nursing --and Dasma is wayyyyyy far from Mandaluyong] and AdMU didn't offer the nursing course in their school I still had UP and UST to choose from.. But sadly. I didn't get the UPCAT results and I only passed Nutrition in UST.
I wanted to push thru with Nurti as my course because I'm going to be a THOMASIAN!! HELLO! MAJOR WANT! But my grandmother [my dad's mother] insisted that I take Nursing as a course.. So fine. I still had time to take entrance exams and all.. And HELLO MANILA DOCTORS COLLEGE :> 
Not one of the 2 schools I dreamt of.. but I had to go somewhere and I'm able to pass the entrance for Nursing.. I had to go there. :)

I had amazing friends who are still with me til this day :D 


As a nursing student I imagined my self as a successful and intelligent nurse of my generation. But unfortunately I'm not. I have always been the average - regular student who passes exams and almost flunking some.


-I never really liked being the average person. I wanted to stand out but.. That never happened :| Oh well. Life goes on. No need to stagnate my life coz of that. 

4 years passed like a whirlwind. PAKABILIS LANG! Parang di ko na namalayan.. Ggraduate na pala ako!!

After Nursing school I had to take the board exam. I took the board exam twice.. I was devastated by the result of the 1st and not really the happiest when I passed the second one. IM SORRY. There's just too much pressure. :/

I might sound insecure or not happy for who I am right now but I'm just sharing whats on my mind..

I hope I studied the hardest.

Right now.. I love being a nurse. I may be a volunteer for now but I'm going to do a lot better soon :)

Lets improve okay? :D

Its never too late to do the things you want.
Time will always pass.. So just do whatever makes you happy! :)
Better late than never, right? :D 

<3

Went out. Pigged out.

Top : Mango basics
Inner tank : F21
Leggings : Bazaar find
Shoes : Onitsuka Tiger
Bag : Kissaholic Manila

So I went out with mom for coffee this afternoon. Looking like that.. YES. HAHAH. Lakas ng gym vibe no? I'm super lazy to dress up lately. Medyo di ko lang feel mag-ayos kase I'm forever a bed buddy! HAHA. Hirap ng tinatamad magbihis. Nagmumukang pang gym ang peg! LOL. 

First stop we went to PSE, Makati to meet up with mom's friend :)

Ate at Cafe France :) 

Hello dark choco bun! :)

Chapel @ the 25th :>

Lookie! My wallpaper. 

 Okay. So I think I have to explain.. HAHAHA. Say hello to my crush :P Haha. I kinda like seeing his face on a daily basis so I copied a photo and made it my wallpaper. Sorry. I need the daily inspiration :P HAHAHA. I have to be inspireddddd. Mwahaha. :>

Pearl milk tea :>

Wendy's for dinner! :>

Devoured the bacon mushroom melt in a matter of chuchu minutes. OH GAHD. FAT ME. :/ :))

I pigged out. AGAIN. :/ :))) So sorry.
Had fun with mum. :> 

Okay so this is where I tell you who I am, right? :)

Okay. So I'm gonna try and introduce myself.. 

My name is Mara [I also use Rio for my volunteering stint] :)
I am twenteen-two years young and turning twenteen-three and after that.. Uhh. I won't count my birthdays anymore :)

I'm a self confessed hospital junkie.
I recently fell in love with PGH's Emergency Room. Yes you read that right.. I think I've been in love with it for 5 months now? And I'm so happy about it. I am able to practice my nursing skills while being assisted by a staff nurse. I'm also a Registered Nurse but as we all know.. We RN's are overflowing. LIKE OVERFLOWING :) So I volunteer to keep my nursing skills alive. Yay! :))

I also love to blog hop. I read blogs almost everyday or whenever I feel like reading --which is mostly everyday :))
I've been a blog hopper since forever. CHOZ.
Bloggers have inspired me to blog about the things that I've been wanting to blog all my life.. Fashion and the like. :) Sana lang umeffect! :))

So I guess.. That's it for now. :)

Read more.. To know more :))
