i-am-tammy (filipino woman on her 20's: way of life)

Getting sick is definitely a halting event. But for my Kuya A, he sees it more as time for relaxation than a weakening experience.

Last night, we brought my Kuya A to Davao Doctors Hospital because of a moderate leg pain caused by gouty arthritis. He's been complaining about this for a week now, yet this is the perfect time for him to be admitted because he does not have work. According to him, he will use his hospital privileges with the use of his MAXICARE. He was even boasting about this health insurance card matching with glee as detected. Well that's my kuya, despite the agony, he still finds comfort.

What struck me from his statements is this "Tam, ang room na nacover naa cable and ref?". "Paki-check daw?". LOL, Never thought that a patient experiencing pain could still think about his room. LOL. I love the ADMISSION VACATION mindset! But even though my kuya is acting like a tourist throughout, I like how he manages to be strong given an ugly scenario.

So here I am, doing some nursing stuffs to him. Never thought that my family would rely so much on what I can do, especially now that I already passed the exam. *sigh* Questions then pop in my mind. One of these is my "capacity to be an effective nurse", can I actually be one?

I hope so, cause honestly, I was not able to take a good nap last night!

Good morning!

hahaha... Promise, this write-up will be short.

Today is my final interview at Eversun. After almost a month of waiting for this day to come, the "YOUR HIRED" moment of the interview elated me. It was an Extreme jovial experience. Though, I can't exactly define the real emotion that I'm feeling... all I can say is that "I'm happy!". Thanks Lord!

By now, I am still waiting for their further instructions. I was told that I can probably begin as early as this upcoming Thursday or as late as Monday next week. Well, that's not bad. I am just hoping, that God will truly guide me throughout my endeavors as Virtual Assistant! Praying that He will bestow me wisdom in every decision that I pick. To God be the Glory!

MY COSMO FEB ISH

Hey you cosmo fans... The feb ish is out... and deliciously accompanying it is a mini notebook of SEXPERIMENT.LOL... Well, the first time I scanned it, I was innocently scanning that thing until I noticed the varied sex positions at the lower left of the notebook...WAAAAA...

The worse part is, this scenario happened inside the Church in our break time. hahaha... I blushed due to shame...So...I immediately hid it!

I cant resist COSMO... so by the time I got home, I began reading it.

Last night, I read this short article about HOW TO SPOT A LIAR!! And I want to share it to you so that starting from now on..we will never be fooled again! LOL... Bitter me!

So here is the article:

HOW TO SPOT A LIAR:

Look for these clues the next time you think your guy may be trying to pull a fast one.


1) Shrugging his shoulders is a sign of uncertainty. So if he does so while taking definitively, be suspicious.

2) Placing a barrier between you and his mouth means he may not want you to listen too closely.

3) If he nods his head yes while verbally denying-or vice versa-believe his body not his words.

EVERSUN asked me to submit 2 2x2 pix and 1 1x1... Since ala talaga ako money... I decided to do it by myself.. This is how it was produced!

1) I took a photo of myself using my digital camera

*bad: It was hard in the beginning cause my other arm (the one holding the camera) appears elevated in the pix.

*good: I can shoot as many photos as I can
I can smile the way I want too, because there's no one surrounding me criticizing my moves.

2) I edited the photo I have chosen using Adobe photoshop

*bad: I really am not an expert on this!

*good: I can edit as may pictures as I can and pick the best one. I can edit it the way I want my photo to appear. Base on my experience on photoshoots, I get shocked everytime I receive my photo and dont like the output most of the time..,. At least now, I am satisfied!

3) I went to netopia to print the photos

*bad: because of my lack of experience, I was not able to adjust the photo to the right size... So the output was a bit unexpected... They need to cut some parts of my torso... I look a bit chubby in the picture

*good:I guess, everything was cheaper and nicer if compared to the outputs from a studio.. Thus, making me happy!

February 20, 2009

Cristyl is here in Davao... at the same time, the results of the NLE exam was released, and I found out that Valerie and I passed. So there's no way that I will not enjoy this night! But my greatest dilemma is ...I ONLY HAVE 17 PESOS IN MY BAG (since my wallet was lost and I haven't bought a replacement yet!) HUHUHU!!!

Honestly, I am so restless for 3 hours, I searched for ways (or person, lol) where I can borrow money... Unfortunately, all of the people in our house are poor... PITY ME. I really felt sad... and hopeless... and then, without shame, i asked for help from my "it's complicated X boyfriend" and he offered help as well as a ride to the place where I will meet my high school friends. But, he needs to finish his basketball game with his friends first. He told me if I can wait til 9:00pm? hmmm.. I can, but, my mom will arrive that time, so i guess I won't need his money anymore... hahaha...

So what happened... My mom arrived at exactly 9:00pm and she gave me money.... (huge in fact), I returned some of it... because i think it was too much... And she did not insist!! WAAAA... drama pa kasi... hahaha... baitbaitan kuno! hahaha... Then my dad offered a ride to Torres... And I arrived at Cubyertos... hahaha ... as usual LATE!!!

for the continuation...read Gil's blog... click this link!!!:)

THE DATE

These past days, I've been complying to a lot of requirements. One of these, is this Canadian Immigration paper... I have finished answering this form months ago, unfortunately, there were errors in my papers, so they returned it to my sponsor... and I have to redo it. We submitted invalid forms since my dad decided to photocopy some of the pages...I also need to attach original documents with it like my Birth Certificate, police clearances... Good thing, I already have it.

At of this point, I am still filling it up! I am just worried bout the short time. We only have 3 months to resubmit this to the Canadian Embassy... Lord, Help!

I was scanning through the facebook accounts of my friends... then, I found this personality test from the page of my X teacher in College... I got curious and tried it!

This was the result of the exam:

ESTJ: The Guardian

You're a natural leader and a quick, logical decision maker.Goals are important in your life, and you take many steps to achieve them.

You enjoy interacting with others, mostly through work related activities.Your high energy level means that you are great at getting things done!

In love, you tend to bring stability to relationships.You feel comfortable being in charge, and you enjoy being a provider.

At work, you take charge. You thrive in structured environments and don't mind enforcing the rules.You would make a great teacher, judge, or police detective.How you see yourself: Realistic, stable, and pragmatic

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Rigid, bound to rules, and a bad listener

Not bad results! But like what my friend told me... the results of personality exams is somewhat affected with your mood and recent activities... There's no other way to prove that but to take the exam next time:) LOL

yeyeh... after not EATING PORK for almost 2 months... I broke my commitment! I actually ate an ewwww P-O-R-K today... huhuhuhu... not only once... but like... THRICE??? I ordered bbq ribs rice toppings(pork), ate 3 pieces bbq pork at jickongs(pork) and ate 2 slices of pizza (pork)... I cant imagine what I did!

Sorry for the over reaction guys... LOL... I just can't believe how undisciplined I am... Hope I can resist the LECHON mama prepared for tomorrow's celebration in our church... hehehe

I thought after I pass the local board exam... it will make my mom elated with happiness and pride... But this day started with arguments. YES... ARGUMENTS on my career path...

These past days, I'm applying as VIRTUAL ASSISTANT in an IT outsourcing company... well, to be honest... it is kindda incoherent with my College degree, but I like it... I feel passionate about it. That kind of mindset pissed my mom... she wanted me to immediately look for jobs that are related to my course... Well, I can't blame her... this was her chosen course for me...

I like nursing(no question about it) but I love computers too...

So what happened?

The discussion ended with this solution...I'll pursue my application to the job, then, I will review for NCLEX at the same time and take masteral classes on weekends! LOL... Sounds impossible right? But guys, I believe I can do it... with God's grace I will!

This is the right moment to have a huge celebration for the success we achieved. WE PASSED THE NLE EXAM!... And of course, there's no reason not to go wild(or at least partei...) to show our gratefulness... Because of this... I went to a series of e-a-t-i-n-g making my tummy overly distended when I went home...

So here's a timeline of the events I've been..

12:30-2:00---> PIZZA HUT Gaisano Mall... I ate 1 bbq ribs rice toppings, 1 lasangna, 1 slice of pizza....
(This is a family treat from my MOM... tsk3... Quite expensive)

4:00-4:30---> CHOWKING NCCC Mall...I ate my favorite 1 half dozen halo-halo...
(I waited for dottie to arrive)

10:00-12:00--->ZETS PIZZA Bonifacio... I drank 1 mango juice, ate 1 slice of pizza, french fries
(still part of the reunion)

So there it was... a day filled with laughter and FFFOOODD... But most of all, a day of thanksgiving for the graces and blessings of God! At the end of the day... though I am already sleepy and tired... and full... We should never forget that the success we reached will never be possible without God's guidance and intervention!

Goodnight RNs!

Sound trip is much fun when you do it with your family... Just this afternoon, after LUNCH... I and my sister-- carla...shared the earphones of her IPOD... well,at the beginning.. we were just banging our heads with the beat of the music... more seconds passed by, she started singing loudly, while I began dancing some weird moves...The hype of the rhythm moved us to more dancing. I felt like i am a real superstar while singing...like Sarah Geronimo or Nicole of Pussycat dolls while I jived to the beat.... our voices got louder and louder...

when I opened my eyes... I saw my mom dancing while I am singing! LOL...

I was only imagining that I am in a recording studio...never thought my voice would also qualify as a concert queen or a music video diva...thanks mom!hahahah

SERVICE:

Text comes from: II Peter 1:5-8

BIBLE STUDY
Text comes from: II Timothy 3:16-17

When you see a bible... what another term pops-out in your mind...?

4.) Word of GOD
3.)Scriptures
2.)Testament
1.)of course--BIBLE...

These 4 terms are the basis of our petty talk///


BIBLE:
The word Bible comes from the words..."biblos" and "bibleon" which means a BOOK, that is why when we say HOLY bible, it is like saying HOLY BOOK. The King James Version is compose of 66 books...39 books from the old testament and 27 books from the new testament. Compared to other versions of the bible, KJV did not include the apocrypal books like SIRACH and BARUK in its compilation because the bible scholars believe that these books just contribute historical benifits. The statements written also do not have the heading "Thus sayeth the Lord"as compared to the other books of the old testament. Before the KJV translation, there were 7 more translations preceeding it. And those books were also used by the bible scholars while they are translating KJV. The papyrus that contains the old testament is written in Hebrew while the new testament is written in Greek. The bible scholars, translated them word per word, no add-ups and omissions.

TESTAMENT:
meaning covenant or a promise.
The bible is an instrument used by God in revealing His promise of salvation to the ones who accepted Him as Lord and Savior. That is His greatest promise to the believers. Also, He revealed in the Bible the promise land He prepared for the Israelites back in the old testament... and if you would scan more stories, you will witness the bounty of promised blessings in store for His followers.

SCRIPTURE:
meaning Holy writings.
The bible can be also called a scripture because the writers of the book are inspired by God. They are moved by the Holy Spirit while writing what God wants to be written. God is the author of all the books in the bible. The human writers may have different forms and style in writing, but the books never contradict each other.

WORD of GOD:
Every word written in the bible is His message to His people. It comes from Him and only Him.

To end the bible study, open this verse: 2 Peter 1:21

I should begin speaking out my thoughts while this odd feeling is still bothering me, in that way... I can cry out loud what I feel inside. Honestly...I am not crying now... but my heart is extremely crashed by excruciating pain. I am invincibly weeping for a loss... and that experience taught me several lessons...

So what really happened?

I lost a valuable thing this evening... and worst, some important documents are within it. No matter how much I try to stay positive, it's just not working... the gullible self-concept is still in my head.

I drag myself to the bed as I arrived home...I bounced like a timbre...falling to nothingness...and blamed my idiosyncrasy..."It is just because of me...and my vacuous habits...If I was just a bit careful...." "If I was only not raunchy...then that did not happen" But still, even how many more blaming I do... I just can't repeat time... cause, It's gone...

And that taught me this lesson..."regret things before things become regretful."

[I just like to thank claudio for the good things he did tonight!:) I appreciate what you've said... hehehe...see you around!]

I was told to prepare my medical certificate before I will begin my training this Monday in Eversun... hmmm... then that means.... I need to comply the necessary exam today.! EXAM? whooo... I'm not a big fan of physical exams. I don't want to know what my body is really going through at of this moment. there are these negative ideas running through my head when exams begin... countless what-ifs pop out...huhuhu... but, this is inevitable...

So, we went to acculab today...paid the bill and .... went through the process worth not mentioning...ahaha..

What I fear most... is when they will hand me the results of the exams... what if I have parasites within me " multiple ova found" or maybe..."too many to count" bacteria in my urinalysis... that's a complete embarrassment! waaaaaaa...

It's time to read the papers...

after seeing good results... I faced the cute assistant in the lab and said..." nawawala daw chest ko?" huhuhuhuhu.... WWWWHHHHHHAAAAATTTTTTTTT????....

Ano daw sabi ko? That was the corniest joke I've heard from myself! huhuhu....! I can see it from his face that he is clueless on how to react from what I've said. and sabi nya...

"kasi negative chest".... followed by a flat affect.

hahahha....I went out from the room quickly and never dared to look at him again...LOL...

Now. I realize... I should not worry about my physical exam results...rather...on my verbal cornycation skills....LOL
