Life lately.. (Version 2.0)

Annyeong haseyo! Having this Korean feels right now! Blame it to my K-pop fanatic sisters! lol. Because of course summer vacation is not yet over, I always find them (my sisters) talking about K-pop the whole day at home, listening to k-pop songs (especially EXO), watching videos, etc.. 

So here I go.. These past few days, I became very emotional because of so many reasons. And let me state them in bullets:

  • Speaking of K-pop, 3 days ago I was able to watch a Korean movie entitled “Miracles in Cell no.7” and it was such a very heart-breaking movie about the father and daughter story. In fact, I cried so hard that I nearly consumed a roll of tissue paper. Hehe. Really a must watch!
  • I had weird dreams lately. Like I dreamt about my grandmother who passed away a couple of years ago, then one time its about my encounter with lots of creepy snakes that scares the sh*t out of me! I also dreamt about dark skies, floods, and tidal waves! Until now I can’t figure out what my dreams are trying to tell me.
  • I missed my friends! My closest friends to be exact. It’s been so long since the last time we’ve seen each other and there’s a lot of things to catch up! 
  • At this moment, I must admit I’m having a crush on someone whom I think I have no chance with. And I hate that bittersweet hopeless feeling I am having right now! *sigh
  • And the last thing that makes me feel nostalgic is that my duty days in WVSUMC were already over! My 3 months contract have ended last May 21. I will miss a lot of things and people especially my colleagues (most of all that someone I mentioned above). Now you know! Haha! This is why I feel so sad. But I still have plans to go back on September for my specialization. Let’s just hope for the best! :)

Here’s to better and happy days ahead! Take care! :*

Quick Realizations

Time flies so fast! It’s already September and it’s been a month now since I started working as a volunteer nurse. August has been good to me although I considered it as an  adjustment period. And now I can say that I have already adjusted with my work routine, with the hospital setting and as well as with my colleagues. For my first month of work as a Registered Nurse (without salary.LOL), I’ve learned many things such as:

  • Being Assertive
  • Being Flexible
  • Having self-confidence
  • Never be ashamed to ask when in doubt
  • Good communication skills with patients and their folks
  • Smile despite how busy and tired you are
  • And lastly, prayer is the best thing that can help you when you are afraid, in doubt of things, or feel troubled.

These things also helped me in my personal growth as a person. Being a nurse is a hard and toxic job. We interact with different kinds of people everyday. We face a lot of diseases, and we have heavier responsibilities because in our hands we carry the precious lives of our patients. But despite how hard and complicated our job is, there are also things that could transform our bad moods into a happy one like seeing a newly born bouncing baby, an old man/woman who feel secured and assured with a nurse’ therapeutic touch, and a simple “thank you” from a patient or his/her folks. I believe you are truly called to become a nurse when you will feel happy even with these little things.

Commit your actions to the Lord and your plans will succeed. ~Proverbs 16:3

Here’s to more toxic days and meaningful experience! Happy Ber months everyone!!! :)
