I told you to make that damn sick call but you never did. Kainis! I can influence our bro to do the same so we can go somewhere. hehe! Dali na! Let's go this week. I'll make an excuse din from work. :D
P.S. You're the one hogging the PC, not me! Bili na kasi ng laptop eh. :D - At 11:00 AM, Ate Sienna commented...

why is it that sometimes you just want to blog but there doesn't seem anything to blog about or you're just too lazy to sit down and type? I have that once in a while also :)
Well anyway, after much consideration and research, I think I found my second niche. Guess where I ended up? In a home health setting no less. Yeah I remember what I said 6 months ago about home health. I haven't forgotten it, mind you. I accepted the job offer because I think it's a good money-making opportunity that will still allow me to practice what I've learned from school and from the hospital. I know it's different but at this point, I'm welcome to changes. I'm all for it. :) How about driving, you say? Well that's another story and another blog post. Hehe.

An Evening with Found Magazine and PostSecret
Intuit hosts Found Magazine and PostSecret on Friday, June 2, 2006 at 7:00 pm with repeat presentations at 9:00 pm. Each presentation will feature both Found Magazine and PostSecret. There will be a suggested donation of two to five dollars at the door.
In early 2005, Intuit held the exhibition Found: The Magazine, The Stuff showcasing some of Found Magazine’s discoveries of lost or discarded notes, photos, lists and letters. The Found crew returns to Intuit on June 2nd as part of Found Magazine's Cavalcade of Thrills Tour "2006!", which they are doing in support of their second book collection, FOUND II. David Sedaris has called it, "A fascinating collection. It will break your heart." Co-creator and editor Davy Rothbart will present recently submitted finds, and singer-songwriter Peter Rothbart will perform songs based on found material.
PostSecret’s Frank Warren will present examples from his collection of anonymous secrets and also screen a video. PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard. Anyone is invited to anonymously contribute secrets to PostSecret. Each secret can be a regret, hope, funny experience, unseen kindness, fantasy, belief, fear, betrayal, erotic desire, feeling, confession, or childhood humiliation. Please visit www.postsecret.com to view examples of the tragic and wonderful secrets submitted.
Hurrah! Postsecret is here in Chicago!!

Wow ang gaganda! Kung pwede lang sana pumitas noh? I knew you'd all have a grand time. Sa uulitin ha. Dalhin mo ako dyan one time. :)

of course! by then, siguro medyo confident na ko sa pagdrive kaya pwedeng-pwede na kitang dalhin. :D

Natuwa ako sa border ng pics mo. :)
Monday: I met my new dentist and surprisingly, I like him. He's very amicable and gentle (to an extent). His assistants were very helpful and cordial. Only grudge I have is the future dental work(s) I'm going to need: 2 root canals, 3 crowns, quite a few fillings, and a tooth extraction. Where the heck am I going to find the money to fund all these???
Tuesday: Went to see an opthalmologist. Good thing nothing's wrong with my eyes. I just needed prescription glasses which I bought yesterday. Didn't realize those things cost a fortune.
Wednesday: With all the expenses sprouting from nowhere, I decided it's time to find a part-time job. I visited a nearby nursing home, filled out an application form, and was interviewed on the spot. A second interview was scheduled for next week. Still thinking if it's all worth it.
Gosh, back to work tomorrow. Haaay.
Anyway, in other news, my sibs and I are planning on spending a day in the Chicago Botanic Garden. I never went to the place and I wonder why it took me this long to think about visiting the garden. From what I read in their webpage and from what I saw in Flickr, it looks like we're going to have a grand time. We're thinking about going next week. Yey!

here in america, you have to learn to be tough. learn from the criticism, but learn to be strong enough not to let others trample upon you.
mistakes happen, but don't let them destroy your self-esteem. instead, learn from them. remember that you're still new to this, so everyone is going to watch your every move.
you can do it, loryces. pride yourself for being pinoy, because wherever you go...pinoys are hardworkers....especially when it comes to nursing. so, lighten up a bit, okay? :) - At 12:44 AM, Unknown commented...
-
I agree with fortuitous faery. Remember, we all had to crawl before learning how to walk and eventually, run. It's good that you don't let your life revolve around work. There's more to life than that. So, go ahead and enjoy yourselves and don't forget to take pictures from the garden, ok? I miss you! *hugs*

fortuitous faery and karen: thanks guys! minsan kasi dinidibdib ko talaga eh... i guess i just have to toughen it up. :)
- my three-month orientation is up
- I'm officially starting my career ON MY OWN WITHOUT A PRECEPTOR on May 1st (gulp)
- haven't started reading for leisure
- just became a fan of House, Lost, and Battlestar Galactica (the time that I should've spent on reading or blogging has been devoted entirely to watching DVDs of said shows)
- currently planning on going to a select Chicago sightseeing tours with my siblings
- also currently planning on applying for a second job
Yeah I don't have a life. What else is new?
- At 2:40 AM, Unknown commented...
-
So, how's work life? Saved enough to get your own place? :)
- At 9:26 AM, Ava commented...
-
Yay! House and Lost!!!
Season 1 pa lang ang House dito... Lost Season 2 just started din. - At 2:21 AM, Aja commented...
-
Waw, House! I really enjoy his abnormally different tactics in healing his patients. Super laugh-trip though it could get serious at times. But its plot twists have good transitions, nevertheless. :)
- At 10:43 AM, commented...
-
GALACTICA ROCKS! i can't wait for season three. :D

I pray for the Wisdom to understand my challenging patients; Love to forgive them and Patience for their moods. Because, Lord, if I were to ask for Strength I would beat them to death.
It's been THAT kind of day. This prayer goes out to my co-workers too.

I'm moving the site to a different server this week and just wanted to let you know that it might be not viewable for 2-3 days if nothing big happens. Sorry for the inconvenience. =(

I've finished moving servers and re-uploading the site. Please email me at piakarla@gmail.com for the new ftp details. =)
- 3rd week of driving along the highway - Nerve-wracking as hell. Just thinking about how I'm going to do that for a year or so is still enough to make my eyes water. Of course, that didn't stop me from speeding along the highway. I even found myself, an instance or two, racing with trucks and wanting to beat them in changing lanes.
- Still can't believe I passed the boards. Even told a friend that I'm still doubting if I made it. Good thing for the distance or, I'm sure, she would bop me on the head.
- I received my certification/application for licensure! That means I really passed! Wheee! Of course, additional fee is needed. Why am I not surprised?
- I couldn't believe it! I'm not as prepared as I thought I would be regarding patient care. Nursing school has not prepared me for the real world. How frustrating! More on that on my next post.
- Steve and Barry's is having a sale! All items for $8! Nyahaha! Ooops... Must... stop... myself... from... buying... too... much!!!
- My feet are killing me. I think I'll be needing 3 pairs of shoes before the year is over.
- At 12:46 AM, Cathy Young commented...

Congrats, Laurice! :) Good to hear you passed and everything.
So, speaking of boards ... when are we going to see you on ours, eh?

Kudos on your many accomplishments, Lau! Especially passing the boards. Get those shoes! You surely deserve them and more. :)
You know you make me wanna... shout!
Kick my heels up and... shout!

(blogged through MMS)
This past week has been one exhilirating blur especially the last three days. Never thought I'll get through it alive. It's a week I'm happy to immortalize in my blog but doing so via MMS is, I think, belittling all I had to go through, when in fact it should be applauded upon (hehe yabang). Kidding aside, I'd just like to announce that I finally did it--I drove on the most dreaded highway. And that's just the appetizer. Will edit this post as soon as I'm able. In the meantime, you may now congratulate me hehe.

i know this is going to sound stupid but whenever i hear "telemetry" i think "telepathy" and imagine the likes of professor x and jean grey. but that's just me being non-medically inclined. :P
