Based on my last post below, you know that I actually prepared for the interview I had yesterday. I’m happy to say it turned out really well and I was supposed to have my final interview today, but I did not show up and decided to give it up. I did not attend the final interview. Why? Because of some personal reasons. I know, it’s not the wisest decision but I do not regret it. I won’t be working there anyway if given a chance.

To some, they know that I’m a nursing graduate, but when I think about it now, do I really see myself working as a volunteer nurse? Probably for the next few months or so. Why did I say “volunteer” nurse? Simly because it’s close to being impossible for the newly graduates to be hired in a hospital. Well, I’m not generalizing it, some are just so good that they are hired immediately. I don’t know the real process how nurses are hired, but all I know is that we undergo training, a lot of training until we get hired. I’m hoping the same thing fate of those “so good” persons happen to me as well. I know I have to work hard, but how hard should I work for it? To make this long story short, I wish I have taken a different course. I wish I did.

I downloaded a new theme simply because I don’t have enough inspiration to make one, hehe. Anyway, it needs a lot of editing to suit my site. Plus, I fixed the menus above, and of course, my links out. I removed almost 95% of my previous linkies! LOL. I can’t believe how outdated this site is. Majority of my link exchange no longer have a site. haha. Some I invited but never put my link up anyway.

PS. I need link exchange from active bloggers. Drop me a note, I’ll link you up right away. ;)

Btw, I’m anxiously waiting for the call from the company I applied to. Really scary, haha. It’ll be my first interview. *cross fingers* Hopefully, I’d do well.

I’m at home right now, finally, I got a break from the review. lol. But I have thousands of test questions to answer and they’re piling up! lol.

So anyway, last April 30th was my me and my boyfriend’s 16th monthsary. He has totally forgotten that it was our monthsary, lol. But that’s fine.

I have an interesting story to share but I’ll probably post it when I have the time. Right now, I’m just really very sleepy. I just found a few interesting things I had to post here.

My boyfriend asked me before what part of the house is most important to me. I thought for a while and then I answered, it’s the bathroom and bedroom. So when we’re at the mall, I frequent appliance stores or home furniture stores and just see different styles and designs for my dream house. I found a good site that offers really good designs for bathroom accessories. Also, good design for showers, one of the most important part of any bathroom. Then the ideal standars, the design is very interesting, good and brings real beauty to your home, and bristan taps for those who are stylish and practical.

My domain has expired! lol. Glad I was able to renew it immediately.

So anyway, what’s up with me?

First, I’m currently attending review classes for the upcoming Nursing Licensure Exam (NLE). Our class starts at 8am and ends at 5pm. But most of the time, we’ll have a make up class from the previous lessons we missed from 5pm-9pm, so that will be almost 13 hours! Great, isn’t it? At the end of the day, all that I can think of is “SLEEP!, I NEED SLEEP” lol. But I’m feeling so much enthusiasm in attending our review since I am highly motivated by the thought that this marks the end of my nursing student years and beginning of my journey as professional. Because of that, I get good grades from our pre-board exams, test questions (compilations of previous board exams), and of course, lots of faith to Him. I owe it all to Him.

So anyway, I have lots of plan for this site, really. I just have to deal with the review and Licensure Exam first before anything else. After that, it’s partayyy!!! LOL. I definitely need to have a social life. I’m confined with my boyfriend (most of the time) and 4 more close friends. That’s my social life. Being with 5 people, nothing more. I actually think I have a little fear with meeting new people. I’m not very outgoing (or atleast I think I’m not), and I’m a shy type (bf says I’m definitely NOT, lol). But will definitely be working on this site soon. SOON. lol.

Happy 3rd year anniversary to LUVED.NET!

Long time no post, lol.

So I am currently assigned to duty at NCMH (national center for mental health) at Mandaluyong, Philippines. At first, I didn’t expect it to be such a big place. It was 46.5 hectares, I believe. Walking is not an option, lol.

So anyway, let me start a few of my experiences.

First, one of the patients we have there have amoebiasis. His sister who visited her that day (her last visit was July of last year) asked him why he had amoebiasis, he answered, “kumakain ako ng ipis eh”. In english, “I eat cockroaches”. That patient wouldn’t eat foods being served to him. He’s very thin already. Some patients on that ward are even naked. They don’t have mattresses on their bed, so they sleep on the wooden bed.

Next, a patient who is at NCMH for 27 years now. He’s actually in a critical condition when we started our duty. Some attendants we’re even joking that we’re going to perform a post-mortem care that night.

Third, a patient talking to nobody. The first day, he was very unresponsive to verbal stimuli. He wasn’t even blinking, hehe. The next day, he’s shouting to nobody. He was restrained by the way.

There are a lot more patients in that ward. Most of them already abandoned by their families. These people will not be fully cured without enough emotional support. I hope we can gain more understanding of people with mental illness.
