The Four Shades of Nursing Life

I know this is a bit "off" from what I usually post here in my space. It's just that, I'm at the heat of the moment with the loads of requirements and stuff that I have right now. And to match the pressure, I did this; so as to encourage myself to be strong and continue with this kind of life. Sabi nga nila...sa Nursing, "Hindi ka lang pumili ng kursong kukunin mo. Kundi, pinili mo na rin kung anong buhay ang papasukin mo".

To tell you frankly, nursing wasn't really my first choice to begin with. I really despised it from the very thought of me putting and indulging myself into it. Heck, I even cried buckets wanting to get out of too much pressure from 'choosing the right course'. Well, that was a few years ago!

Fast forward to the present (two years later), who would've thought that I'd be loving this whole nursing thingy rin pala? After two fruitful years of community and hospital exposures, I've come to the point of realization that nursing really is for me; and I'll do everything it takes to finish this! Nandito na ako eh, so wala na akong magagawa kundi gawin kung ano ang tama...and that's to finish what I have started.

Being Toxic...
Having Fun...
Fulfilling Dreams...
Touching Lives.


The Four Shades of Nursing Life = MY LIFE.

And I'm loving every bit of it. Ü

Ang Baybay.

This is Puerto Princesa's answer to Manila's baywalk. But the comparison doesn't mean it's as extravagant and explosive as how we know "the baywalk". I mean, it's not that developed yet. All you can see around the vicinity are a few sidewalk vendors, a bicycle rental stall, some benches, and about twenty light posts. And that's what I like about it...it's simplicity. But ummm, there's just one thing about the place that really really bothers me: the smell. If you think your olfactory nerves would get their fair share of the "fresh sea breeze aroma" (basta yung mga ganun), then you're wrong. When you're in Puerto Princesa's Baybay, you might go, "Ooooh! Something smells fishy around here." And I mean that...literally.

Anyhoo, here are four shots that I snapped away with a friend's camera phone (Thanks Makko!) while I was there...
