I am an RN now.
Written on: Monday, October 30, 2006 Time: 1:40 PM
- whether you like it or not.
*evil grin* Hehe. So last Friday, we already had our oath taking ceremony. I and my friend were one of the first 200 newly registered nurses who had sworn for this profession. (The oath taking was done by batch since the auditorium could not accommodate us all). The atmosphere of the PRC auditorium was filled with happiness, relief and excitement. Bliss was what I felt while seeing the smile on my colleagues' faces. "This is it. I am now a registered nurse," I told myself while tears of joy were starting to fall. I couldn't believe that everything is starting to go on the right direction.
This morning, I went again to PRC to register. I am satisified with their service since it only took me an hour to register unlike the previous ones who waited for like 5 hours to get the claiming stab.
I can't wait for January 11 to come. I have been waiting for it for like four years of studying nursing. I am sure that I'll be very excited and be proud to show the people what I will be receiving on that day.
Want to know what it is?
My license.
Random blah blah shits.

I'm back. I've been away in the blogging world for like a week. I just don't know what to blog for the past days. I have been so emoshitnally (Thanks Tala for that new word. I love it!) stressed with all the issues in nursing, lovelife and family matters.
*****
 Now everything's okay except that leakage issue. I was there in the supposedly oath-taking day. I wasn't wearing my gala uniform, though. I just went there to register. Unfortunately, there was a temporary restraining order again so I wasn't able to accomplish my agenda for that day. BUT there's one thing I was able to accomplish together with my friend. We had our picture taken with Ivan Mayrina. Haha! Baduy eh noh? He's the hottie reporter of GMA7. He's such a cutie (for me) in person and also very accommodating. <3
*****
I had my completion duty at AFP Medical center last Wednesday. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to complete the required cases. I only had 6 IV push cases. My IV insertion failed. Colonel ___'s veins were really thin. I attempted to insert the needle twice in different veins but still, I failed. The nurse who's assisting me also had a hard time so she asked a doctor instead to do the insertion.
*****
Ladies and gentlemen, I have a new haircut. Thank you very much.
*****
We (me and my friend) got rejected in this certain hospital because of the issues. We belong in Batch 2006. We are license-less. And now, we're jobless. We're super bums. Oh yeah! *sarcastic*
*****
I am listening to Bread's music right now. It's so old school yet I still adore their songs. It makes my fingers want to strum the guitar again!

Hanging question: What was the most difficult decision you have ever made? Did you use some strategies to arrive in that decision? Then what happened? Share it. I would love to read your answers. ;)

Eto ngayon ang theme song ng buhay ko. Halina't makikanta sakin!
Yun mga naka-italicized na words, di lyrics yun. Komento lang ng inyong lingkod. Hehe. Enjoy!

Verse 1Laging bigo, laging sawi-sa pagibigKaawa awa. Umpisa pa lang, bigo na kaagad!Minamalas o kay sakit; may balat nga ba ako sa pwetGanon ba talaga yun? Kapag malas laging may balat sa pwet? Di ba pwedeng, may balat sa siko? Sa buhok? Sa mata? Bakit kaya lagi na lang sa pwet. Ano ba history nito?
Mabuti pa ang tindera sa aming kanto
Nakakainggit TL ang sweet nila nang kanilang nobyoIsang magandang halimbawa ng pagiging chismosa. Pati buhay ng may buhay pinapakialamanan! Pero pwede rin namang napatingin lang naman siya diba?
[Refrain]Gusto ko lang; maranasan umibig tamaan ni kupidoTamaan? Nakakamatay yan 'tsong! Sakit yan. Matetano ka pa. PRAMIS!
Gusto ko lang maranasan; tumibok muli ang puso ko Hala?! Bakit? Kelan pa hindi tumibok puso mo?!! GUARD!! DALHIN NA 'TO SA MENTAL!!
[Chorus]Tumatakbo ang oras naiiwan na ako ng panahonDuh?! Habulin mo kaya?
Di na nagbago bawat araw pare-pareho
Parang kahapon
Isa pang DUH?! Malamang pare-pareho. Siempre, pagkatapos ng Linggo, Monday na uli.. Tapos Tuesday.. Pag Linggo na.. Monday na uli! Mahirap
yata yun iba iba... Hirap umisip..Tumatakbo ang or---a-haa--s.Elibs ako dito! Either tumatakbo na yun ahas.. or bumibirit na talaga dito si Lougee. Napaisip ako... bakit kaya kapag bumibirit.. Lagi na lang nagkakaroon ng letrang H! Saan kayang lupalop nanggaling yun? Silent H yata.Verse 2
May birthday cake ka nga
Ngunit wala namang kandilaEh ano ngayon?! Importante may cake! Kesa naman may candila pero walang cake. Nangingialam ka nanaman eh!May christmas tree na malupet;
Wala naman dekorasyon pansabit BOOM! Guilty! Haha! Minsan wala nga kameng design sa christmas tree namin. Tapos yun christmas tree pa namin kasingliit yata ni Mahal.
Na nakapatong lang sa table. Pwedeng ilipat. Nasa sala, balcony, kwarto, garahe.. kung gusto mo sa banyo.. pwede rin.
[Refrain]Sadyang ganyan ang aking buhay
Walang kasing tamlayNaku tsong... Clusivol lang yan. Pwede ring United Homes Ferrous Sulfate o di kaya'y Tiki Tiki.Ayoko sanang tumandang- nagiisaNaku.. sinabi mo pa..
[Repeat Chorus]Pakibasa na lang uli yun chorus. Alangan namang ulitin ko pa..
[Bridge] Tatangapin nalang ba ang mapait na tadhanaWala tayong magagawa eh.. Ganyan talaga.O kaya'y
Tatangapin nalang ba na ako'y
Sadyang hindi pinagpalaIn other words, MALAS!Tigilan na ang drama;Pwede mo sana ipagpatuloy kung binabayaran ka sa pagdadrama mo. Yun tipong pwede kang rumampa sa entablado para kunin ang iyong Best
Actress Award.. Kaso.. di ka artista eh.. So pwede mo itigil ang pagdadramaPunasan na ang luhaO eto, tisyu.
[Repeat Chorus 2x]Sabing pakibasa uli eh! ANO BA!
CodaAy susyal! Coda ito!Tumatakbo, tumatakbo, tumatakbo naiiwan na ako (2x)Hala! Sige! Habulin mo! Bilis!!
Ayos ba pare? *wink* Hay. Sarap kumanta. Ganon na lang siguro gagawin ko para makalimot sa mga mapapait na nakaraan. I thank you. Bow.
D Day.
Written on: Tuesday, October 10, 2006 Time: 6:28 PM
This is a different day for me. I woke up early to get ready and prepare for my agenda today. I looked at my closet and stared at it for a while. I got really jittery and was very indecisive on what to wear. I wanted to look presentable. I wanted to prove something.
When I have finally decided on what to wear, I bid goodbye to my mom and told her to wish me luck. She told me to take care and just to stand out.
After an hour, I arrived on that particular place where I have to be at that very moment. People were looking at me. They seemed like they can detect that I am having tachycardia and tachypnea with their very own eyes.
I wasn't wearing a black shirt. I have my gold watch on my wrist instead of a white wrist band. I wasn't shouting for justice. I wasn't holding a cardboard with "No Retake!" on it. In other words, I wasn't there in the rally. I didn't go in Liwasang Bonifacio this morning. Where was I?
With a semi-corporate attire, I finally decided to enter the hospital and looked for my previous clinical instructor to pass the requirements I've been holding for more than an hour. I can't believe I was there in the hospital, not because I was sick but because I am now applying for a job.
We went to this certain department and that's the new place where applicants are being entertained. When I came in in the office, I saw this two girls who are being reprimanded by this respectable woman and I heard the woman said, "I'm sorry. We can not hire you because blah blah blah.." I wasn't able to hear the whole story because I got nervous upon hearing those words. I think those two girls made something very mendacious. I tried to calm myself. I just kept telling myself "Sira ka ba?! Bakit ka kinakabahan?! Honest ka kaya.. Hello?! Sapatusin kaya kita dyan...?!" When they have finally finished talking, I was then called and asked to fill up a form. I was shocked because I saw an essay part on the second page. I read the questions, then I just told myself "Stand out Xyla! Kaya mo 'yan! Idaan mo sa ganda!" Wahaha. I almost burst into laughter. Kapal talaga ng mukha nitong babaeng 'to. Thank God I was able to control it... or else, I might have disturbed the vice president of whatever talking with some of the employees.
One of the questions there was "Give us at least 3 qualities that you have why we will hire you?" I answered it with this: I am very determined in giving quality health care to patients may he/she be an indigent or not. I always think for my patient's progress. I am also eager to learn new things. I know that I wasn't really exposed to all of the different nursing procedures and I am very willing to try new skills. I strongly believe that constructive criticisms will improve me as a person and as a professional. Lastly, I am very hardworking. I always set goals and I make sure that I achieve them.
Do you think I'll pass the screening with that answer? I am confident with what I have written but I admit that doubts creep in my mind from time to time. But... to hell with those doubts! Get away from me!
The secretary told me that I have to wait for their call and they would schedule me for a psychological examination. Hala. Matutuklasan na yata nila ang kabaliwan ko. LOL.
I was really starving when I left the hospital. So I went to look for the nearest fast food chain to satisfy my stomach. While eating alone, I just told myself, "I can't believe you've done this alone. Way to go, Xyla!"
Now I am back here infront of this PC, waiting for their call and oh, waiting for my batchmates' updates on what happened on the rally. I am also proud of them for fighting for justice. "Punish the criminals and give justice to the victims!" Aja Batch 2006!
Long Distance "Bestfriend"-ship
Written on: Friday, October 06, 2006 Time: 1:24 PM
As my regular routine, I checked my inbox in my Gmail account. I was so shocked to see an instant message from my bestfriend. She told me that she's in Madrid, Spain already. I got really sad when I read it because we weren't able to hang-out before she left. Blame it on Milenyo! Grrr.
This morning, I checked my inbox again because she told me yesterday that she would tell the whole story (because I asked her how's her life in Spain) through email. Her message, as usual, is long. She told me about the differences between Philippines and Madrid, Spain. I really got excited for her while reading her message. I'll quote some of the things she said that really made me laugh:
"United nations kami dito kasi dito sa dorm yung mga scholars like me. May friends ako from Zimbabwe, Kenya, US, Peru, Argentina, China, Bulgaria. Kaya may nakaka-relate sakin pag nauubusan ako ng espanyol. Haha"
"Onga pala, sa gabi ako naliligo para may time magpatuyo ng buhok. Pag sa umaga kasi sobrang lamig and kawawa naman ako pag lumabas ako ng basa ang buhok. May heater naman yung showers so ok lang. Sabi sakin dati, mababaho raw mga espanyol. Pero so far wala pa naman akong naamoy na mabaho. Or baka mabaho na rin ako kaya sanay na ko sa amoy! haha"
That bestfriend of mine talaga! Haha. I know she's really homesick (like what she told me) but she still tried to make fun out of it. I'm really proud of that sassy chic. When we were in high school, she told me that she really dreams to go to Europe... and now.. she's there. Taking up a Master's Degree with scholarship! Who wouldn't be proud of her, right?
I just blogged this because I miss her company. It's been years since I last saw her in flesh. LOL. And it really is a "tragedy" not to see her before she left because we never know when we will see each other again since I also have plans of leaving the country. Anyways, I'll just stop this dramatic thing. I said I'm not gonna blog about her (but I did!) because if she finds this out, she would tell me that it's so cheesy or so corny! Haha!
By the way, this is she with another girlfriend of mine, Bianca. The one in black is Marvi, my bestfriend.
 Sorry Bianca for stealing your picture. LOL
Well, that's all for now. I hope she won't see this entry... and I hope she wouldn't learn that I let my mom read her message for me. Haha.
P.S.
I changed my profile image (the one in my sidebar). I just find myself pretty in that pic. LOL. I feel so girl-y! Haha. That picture was taken last June with some of my TeenTalk friends (Gillian, Regi and Rei) at Timezone, Gateway. Agree with me! I'm pretty in that pic! Or else... Haha
I don't want a blog leave!!
Written on: Wednesday, October 04, 2006 Time: 12:48 PM
Errr.. sorry for that tantrum-like entry title. I'll tell you the reason why later...
I missed blogging. I've been away for like a week and I had a lot of stories in my mind to share but because of Milenyo, it all faded away. My internet connection just got back as well as our power supply that's why I wasn't able to type the things I wanted to type. It seemed like my ideas flew with Milenyo. Grrr..
Very unusual for me but a while ago, I asked for my mom's permission to use the computer. Haha. My parents are sort of "banning" me or something in my computer addiction because of the recently announced grrr-ood news. Our beloved president ordered for a retake of the recent Philippine Nursing Licensure Exam. It hurts. Really. I even caught myself staring blankly on the wall while tears were continuously falling from my eyes. I was reminiscing all my sacrifices during my college years. At first, I couldn't accept the decision of the president. I mean, how could she reason out that she wants the credibility of the Filipino nurses to be regained when most of the Filipinos are dubious with the election thing? She wants the credibility? Then let's start it with the president! Errr.. oh well. I am getting subjective again. But for the past days, I've already reflected about it and I gave up on fighting for my right not to go on a retake. "Para akong rape victim na nagpakulong at umako ng kasalanan ng nangrape sakin...." That's what I told some of my friends when I told them about my decision on going back to serious reviewing. It's not that I can't defend myself anymore.. it's just that I want this issue to be stopped. This issue haunts me for like 3 months now and I can't take it anymore. I know God has good plans for me and I trust Him that much that's why I am now accepting this retake even if until now, it still hurts. Wish me luck. I feel that this second round of board exam would be much harder. I hope I can pass it again since I am just on a self review. And oh, if ever I won't make it.... please don't think that I cheated last June. I swear, I honestly took it and passed it with a clean conscience. So please, don't be so judgmental.
Oh yes, I am not going on a blog leave. I still wanted to update this from time to time.... maybe when all those ideas that Milenyo stole from me will come back.

My parents are sort of "banning" me or something in my computer addiction because of the recently announced grrr-ood news. Our beloved president ordered for a retake of the recent Philippine Nursing Licensure Exam. It hurts. Really. I even caught myself staring blankly on the wall while tears were continuously falling from my eyes. I was reminiscing all my sacrifices during my college years. At first, I couldn't accept the decision of the president. I mean, how could she reason out that she wants the credibility of the Filipino nurses to be regained when most of the Filipinos are dubious with the election thing? She wants the credibility? Then let's start it with the president! Errr.. oh well. I am getting subjective again. But for the past days, I've already reflected about it and I gave up on fighting for my right not to go on a retake. "Para akong rape victim na nagpakulong at umako ng kasalanan ng nangrape sakin...." That's what I told some of my friends when I told them about my decision on going back to serious reviewing. It's not that I can't defend myself anymore.. it's just that I want this issue to be stopped. This issue haunts me for like 3 months now and I can't take it anymore. I know God has good plans for me and I trust Him that much that's why I am now accepting this retake even if until now, it still hurts. Wish me luck. I feel that this second round of board exam would be much harder. I hope I can pass it again since I am just on a self review. And oh, if ever I won't make it.... please don't think that I cheated last June. I swear, I honestly took it and passed it with a clean conscience. So please, don't be so judgmental.
Oh yes, I am not going on a blog leave. I still wanted to update this from time to time.... maybe when all those ideas that Milenyo stole from me will come back.

Now everything's okay except that leakage issue. I was there in the supposedly oath-taking day. I wasn't wearing my gala uniform, though. I just went there to register. Unfortunately, there was a temporary restraining order again so I wasn't able to accomplish my agenda for that day. BUT there's one thing I was able to accomplish together with my friend. We had our picture taken with Ivan Mayrina. Haha! Baduy eh noh? He's the hottie reporter of GMA7. He's such a cutie (for me) in person and also very accommodating. <3
