“Personality Test”

I am fond of answering personality tests, though I am not really that convinced with the results because it varies. Haha. I got this from a friend and hmm, some are true and some are not. OR I just don’t like the result? Hahaha!

Your view on yourself: You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don’t like conflict. Because you’re so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you. -TRUE! HAHA

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for: You like serious, smart and determined people. You don’t judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren’t necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people’s eyes. -CORRECT!

Your readiness to commit to a relationship: You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person. -YES! YES! YES! HAHA

The seriousness of your love: You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that’s why you’ll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with? -THIS IS NOOOOT TRUE! HAHA. I AM NOT A FLIRT :p

Your views on education: You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job. -HMM, 70-30 TRUE. HAHA

The right job for you: You’re a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you’ll be set for life. -HOPEFULLY!!

How do you view success: You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying. -YES, I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I SUCCEED!

What are you most afraid of: You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don’t ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you. -NO MAN IS AN ISLAND, I GUESS

Who is your true self: You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long. -CERTAINLY

The Beatles.. Forever.

My father is one of the zillions fans of The Beatles. He plays their songs while driving, or just plain listening to them. It used to bore me whenever he plays it because it’s so old school. I tend to put on my earphones and listen to the songs I like. But just recently, when I was making a video for my mom’s birthday, I searched on the music folder of The Beatles in our files. I randomly clicked on the list to look for a song for my parents’ love story.. And it amazed me how great their songs are! They have songs for all seasons- be it friendship, romance, victory, defeat, life. Now, I understand why my father loves them so much, why he never gets tired listening to their songs and why people go gaga over their memorabilia. I guess, I have to eat all my words about them because I enjoy listening to their songs now. Haha!  Their music lives on. You guys rock!

2010: A Challenging Year

2009 has been good to me. And if you were able to read my blog about it, you know why..

2010 was a tough year for me. It was a year of employment VS underemployment..

On the first month, I had my IVT training at Veteran’s Memorial Medical Center with Cy and Onik. I also celebrated my 22nd birthday. February came, I tried to apply in a call center just to be productive and to save money as well while waiting for my IVT completion. Lucky enough, I was hired. I spent the month training in Stellar Global Soulutions Inc., Directory Assistance account. I met many cool people and I finally experienced earning money from my own sweat and blood. Haha! I stayed in the company for 5 months.. But in those months, I experienced ups and downs. I never wanted to be in this kind of job. Honestly speaking, I feel bad being underemployed.. Ashamed too. There were days that I wanted to quit but my mom would tell me that it was just temporary. And so, I continued my job.. I learned a lot from it and from the people I worked with. Actually, it was the people around me that made me stay, not the job I had there. I think I was attached to them at that time already! Hahaha! But I had to make a choice for my personal and career growth..

Fortunately, the 2nd batch of R.N. Residency at AFPMC was open. And so, I took the exam and passed it. I said to myself that it’s time to do my thing. I resigned from my work, even though it was hard for me to leave the people I learned to love, and underwent a comprehensive training.

My R.N. Residency was my first hospital exposure as a registered nurse. It was very new to me. New hospital, new people to deal with and new environment. I was never familiar to VLGH because I was never exposed to this hospital and to other hospitals than UERMH. And the setting was really different. Just to give you a background, AFPMC-VLGH is a Military Hospital with 1,200 bed capacity. It is made to serve our country’s soldiers and their dependents. Military it is. When we hear the word military, we think of discipline and rules. And yes, that’s the way it is. Haha. It was not difficult for me to follow their rules because I was trained well by my Alma Mater.. And I am thankful for that..

I was assigned on my first 4 months of training at their Post Anesthesia Care Unit. We handled pre and post-op patients. We were able to go in and out of the OR too! It was a bit hard at first because I was not familiar with the facilities, staff nurses, doctors, nurses assistants and their routines/SOPs before. I even had a hard time when it comes to their ranks! Haha! But because the staff were nice and approachable, I was able to learn everything in just 2 weeks.WEH? Haha. I learned to love the area and the staff I worked with. I will never forget our Christmas Party and my benign duties! Haha! And of course, my christmas gift from the government!

On my last 2 months of training, I was transferred to the Gastroeneterology ward. It was an awesome experience! Awesome, in a way that I was able to see and meet a lot of people. I was able to assist and perform procedures that I was not able to do when I was still in PACU. It was more stressful but I enjoyed my experiences. The staff were nice too. Lucky for me that all the people I met in VLGH were nice! Haha! I can say that my training helped me boost my confidence and helped me developed my decision-making skill. It made me appreciate my profession more. AND AND AND, I learned a lot! I wished it never ended but I don’t want to be a trainee forever. It was just not easy to leave the people who taught me a lot of things. And I fell in love with the hospital already. If I were to choose my employer, I’d choose VLGH. But, I am still open for others. HAHAHA! March 2, 2011, we had our graduation. Time to say goodbye to VLGH and time to work my ass off again to find a job. It’s going to be tough, but I hope to surpass it!

It’s 2011 already.. Here I am, still unemployed and still hopeful to get a job. I spent my bum days applying online and walk-in to different hospitals. I hope they’ll consider me.. Haha.
