i just turned 25 years old 25 minutes ago. i am so thankful that its also my off duty yesterday october 17 and today october 18. i have been receiving greetings from my closest friends, my family, my boyfriend, my dad, to everyone whom i have touched lives in my own little way. it has been a good year for me and i am looking forward to live another leap into my life. i do really thank God for everything he has done... for every material blessings... for the reason that i am still typing blogs... thank you for the same reason that i still got to thank everyone.. thank you so much... God you are soooooooooo astig!!!!!

ex-pat

Back when i was a child.. I ever wanted to be a teacher just like my aunts and also to fulfil my dad's utmost dream of becoming a teacher. I never thought of becoming a nurse. I actually hate the nurse who gave me those vaccines back then. I am scared because their face resembles like a needle to me.. funny because after two decades, here i am working as a nurse... working miles away from home. Dati, ang wish ko sa buhay ay makasakay lang ng airplane, makakita lang ng snow at makipag-kaibigan sa ibang lahi. di ko naman inexpect na makapag-aral sa ibang bansa, makapasyal sa ibat-ibang lugar, maranasan kung paano maging isang OFW.. before i never understood why OFWs are called heroes... When i experienced to be one of them, yeah.. i think we should be called heroes... We are heroes not because of our salary.. its because we endure being away from our love ones, homesickness, we think twice weather to eat in a fancy resto or buy things because once we convert the price into peso we will say SAYANG... OFWs are heroes because they want the best for their family.. And I salute to every OFWs like me who continues to give the best for their family and for their country. Pero sana may ma-generate na trabaho ang government so that we dont need to be away from our families..

Cancer-y story

A person close to me(a.k.a. XYZ) is experiencing the worst scenario ever. Her brother was diagnosed to have Liver Cancer which has been metastasized to his pancreas. Her sister on the other hand has breast mass. I received this news through a conversation with my father two days ago. I was bothered why she didnt let me know. As i ended my conversation with my dad, i felt sorry for XYZ and her family. and i cant help but cry after the phone call. XYZ's brother is still young i think he is still on his late 30's with wife and 3 wonderful kids one of which is my god daughter who is still going to enter teenage years. While her sister's sons are still very very young. I think they have endured a lot of hardships this year not to mention how their first Nursing graduate flunked the boards. Its so uneasy to tell them everything will be fine if you know that not everything is fine... I dont have a sibling and i dont exactly know the feeling of having one but i know the pain that a person endures when someone close to him is feeling the worst kind of pain ever. I hope God will give them grace and strength.. I am still hoping for the better... I still hope everything will be fine soon.

feels like the first blog entry

Whoa!! Is that for real??? Seems that i havent blogged for years. sorry multiply and blogspot!! farmville and fish world makes me rich kahit sa social network sites lang whilst twitter kept me updated with the tweets of the celebs i follow.. and yeah not to mention WORK WORK and WORK.. and now i dont know what and how will i start a blog after few months of not blogging...

I realized that i have been away from home for 6 months and 3 days, 6 months to go for my annual leave, 84 days to go before we say goodbye to 2009, 77 days to go before Christmas, and 9 days to go before my birthday..(yay!!).

I have been very ambivalent these past few weeks. Sharing my blessings gives me some feeling of fulfilment. Shopping for my family makes me so excited as i fill up the balikbayan box for home. Experienced my first light snow. Travels. Love Life. Friends. But sometimes, somehow i dont know what happiness means whenever thoughts are rushing to my brain cells ....that I wont be seeing my dogs anymore, .....that i will be celebrating my birthday without the closest persons in my life ....that my countrymen experienced the worst typhoon ...that i keep on receiving some bad news back home ...that i missed my family and i badly wanted to go home soon...

Life is really unfair.... Life gives the best and the worst of both worlds... We know how to manage the good things in life but how can we make the worst to become better??? I hope to find happiness soon even just a little...
