NY here we come!

Me and my siblings, plus a friend will go to New York!!!! This will be my last travel during my nursing school. Since I am a bum, I got my tax return for 2008 last July. I spent half of it buying the plane ticket and the rest, in my savings account.

We are actually going to 5 different states. New York, Rhode Island, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington.

We will also visit our cousins who are NY based. We are all above 21 years old so we can party and drink our hearts out.

I'm really excited coz I get to spend my summer vacation with my siblings and a friend who lives in California. And as usual, I'm more excited packing my stuff than the actual vacation.

I will try to post some pics after my trip. I am super excited! Yay!

10 minute trainer and me

Three days ago, I started my 1, long, agonizing month doing Tony Horton's 10-minute trainer. Man, I was sore the first day I tried it.

For the past month, I enjoyed working out with Shaun T's Hip Hop Abs. It was fun and I did lose some weight, especially in the tummy area. But for the 10 minute trainer, even my grandma noticed that I did lose a lot of weight. And it's not even the end of week one.

At first I was a little hesitant on what Tony can do to my body. My siblings have tried his P90X and it really worked for them. They lose a ton of weight and kept it off. I'm not there yet though. I have to train my body first and then I'll try to do the P90X or Insanity.

Well, good luck to me!

4th year anniversary

Today marks my fourth year of living in America. I have through a lot. I get compliments from my nursing classmates about how unbelievable for them to think that I have only been here for 4 years.

The first few months were the hardest. I was homesick and thought about my friends a lot. Looking back, me and my friends have our separate lives. They don't really think about me as I am to them. However, we still send SMS to each other once in a while. For me, it's enough.

happy 4th anniversary to me!!! :)

wow!

A lot happened this past year.

- I survived one year of nursing and I am so exhausted of studying.

- I am currently taking online classes.

- I am enjoying my summer with my siblings and friends

- Had a fight with a friend and never resolved it so basically I'm still angry

- Had 2 probation for nursing and if I still am probation next semester, I'm screwed.

- So I might transfer to another school if that happens.

So my summer is a rollercoaster ride. How bout yours?

one hell of a semester

This 2nd half of the year has been hell to me. All I did was study. Oh, but I'm not done studying yet. I still have three effing weeks before winter break. Good thing we have a Thanksgiving holiday next week.

I'm still trying to keep my sanity. But, boy, the nursing course is hardcore. And I'm on my first semester only. Oh f*ck!!!!

Goodbye nail polish....

HELLO CLINICALS UNIFORM!!!

You guessed it right. I'm now into clinicals. I will begin my clinicals next semester which is January '09. I am really excited but nervous at the same time. I don't know what to expect.

Are my professors going to be strict or affable next sem?

Is my clinical instructor going to be hard on me?

ARRRGGGGHHH!!!!

Too much stuff going on on my head!!!

But one thing's for sure: I am freakin goin to clinicals!!!! WOOOHOOO!!!!

moving in

I've finally moved on to my new house. Or dorm. Ngaun lang nag sink-in na malayo na talaga ako sa mga kapatid at friends ko. I miss them so much. I have so much to do and so much to study. Parang pag ako lang nalulungkot ako lalo. Wala akong diversion. Maybe kasi first day ko pa lang dito. Sana talaga makasurvive ako.
