I Shall Rule The World : August 2008

For My Delight

Yesha is so big now and she knows how to smile na :) Aint it a delight lookin at a kiddo?

not everyone knows what ive been through for the past months. only my family, closest friends and PAULINIAN friends. i was ready to give up everything for my lola's life. yes, for me it was a matter of life and death. because it really is. and i completely let go of the future, and i stayed beside my lola when i am supposed to be reviewing for my board exams.

it was really depressing. i already lost hope. i didnt even want to think of passing. i was in a complete struggle. i didnt even think i am ready to take the NLE because in all aspects of my life - emotionally, spiritually, physically, intellectually - i am NOT me. i am not healthy. there were moments that i want to go to the dorm to join my classmates but it breaks my heart everytime i think about my Lola in her recovery. she needs me most. and she was there for me as in everytime, all 20 years of my life. this is the time when a granddaughter is supposed to take care of her lola, and i am sticking to her side, whatever the consequences are.

but GOD is sooo sooo good. He's the greatest! He has planned something for me. And in the blueprint of my life, He really was an architect! an awesome one!
this is super unexpected. suppper.

i didnt read any book. i still dont know the normal values for different lab results. it was just like any given day in college, like i was just taking a quiz or something. but God made a way! He worked! I believe during the test He was really there for me! everything is so surreal.

with what happened in my life, I attest that there really is God.
i am not a VERY prayerful person.
i dont hear mass every Sunday. im always late for it most of the time.
i didnt go to st.jude nor to baclaran church because i have no fare money.
i am- as in i really am not in the right state of mind and body when i took the test. i wasnt ready.
but i have to say this. to give light to other who will be taking the test. (this is for you too, BEIH!)
i hope my experience will shed light on your darkest hours (REVIEW). because all it took for me was 4 years of excellent nursing education, a little pessimism, huge faith and prayers! AKO NAKAYA KO! KAYO PA KAYA!

but now i am really amazed with the wonders of the human brain! whoa!!!!! as major, big, super WHOA!!!!!

i have to say this (sory gwen ha magpipiling lang hahaha) pero it felt like i topped the NLE! i didnt even asked God to make me pass. i just said, let His will be done. and it is God's will really! this is too much! as i said, my lola's recovery was all im praying for. passing the boards was like cherry on top!!!!

eto hayaan niyo na ako magfeeling gumagawa ng thank you's sa aking album. bertdey ko naman eh! :p

and i would like to especially mention all my PAULINIAN friends. thank you for praying for me and my lola. YOU NAILED IT LADIES! super laki ng utang na loob ko sa inyong lahat!!!!! super!!!! lumevel up ang pagmamahal ko sa inyo ng bonggang bongga!!!! alam ko, dahil ito sa prayers niyo!!!!

♥ Akala Ko Eh :)

akala ko pagkatapos kong makapanumpa bilang isang ganap na NURSE eh ok na ang lahat. ang dami pa pala dapat isipin, gawin, at planuhin sa buhay. ang pinakamasaklap sa lahat -

HiNDi KO ALAM KUNG SAAN AKO MAGSiSiMULA

NCLEX - application papers, review centers, the SAUNDERS book
CGFNS - see above
IELTS - see above
SEMINARS - IV THERAPY TRAiNiNG, BLS, ACLS + MONEY FOR THOSE

akala ko talaga eh magsisimula ang magandang buhay ko after ng August 20. ngayon eh kahit ayaw kong isipin na kaylangan ko nang kumanta ng MAGSIMULA KA dahil nauubos ang sa pagtunganga sa harapan ng laptop at pag internet maghapon magdamag, my body cant move. isa pa, meron akong ginawa sa sarili ko kaya ayaw ko muna magpakita sa mga tao. hahaha. secret ko na yun basta after 3 weeks ang resulta kaya we will see (rissus[tama ba spelling ko pakikorek nga nurses] sardonicus ako ngaun hahaha)

anyways, baket ako nagtatagalog? say this line like Katherine sa Iisa Pa Lamang:

KASE, MABAET KA.

may kinuwento saken si mama and i cannot drop names pero narealize ko ngayon na dahil sa ginawa ko sa LOLA ko (not that i caused it to her!), na nagalaga and everything, naging favorite na ako ng mga lola, mga titas, mga titos at mga nanay :) hahaha. samantalang dati ako ay parang kaaway lamang nila, hane nga? feeling ko galit sila saken dati.

updates on my LOLA ENTAY (yah thats what we call her pero ako talaga tawag ko Inang):

she's walking already - and she walks alone, with no assistance but of course under the watchful eyes of the people around her kase nga risk for fall or injury diba?
she is hearing mass inside the church - unlike before she only hears mass (as in literally) in the house porch since the church is just in front of the house (hahaha)
she receives communion on her own - before the priest comes to her for communion after the mass
she urinates and defecates all by herself in the commode - no need for digital extraction (with gloves of course!) because she isnt constipated anymore, salamat sa dulcolax
she bathes by herself
she remembers things now - she tells me "ikaw tsaka mama mo ang nag-alaga sa akin"
naggagala na ang lola ko sa kapitbahay - like 5 houses away - at nakikichismis hahaha
she is now playing TONGiTS and BiNGO - again
she held a thanksgiving mass for my success in the board exams
nakikipagaway na siya sa mga tito ko (hahaha)
