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!

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 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!

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
