"When you come to the edge of all the light you know, and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: there will be something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly."

Now a Registered Nurse after passing the board exams!

February 26, 2008

Good morning, friends!

I’m back and glad to blog about the recent turn of events in my life. I’m just so happy and proud to say that I’m now a registered nurse, finally!

I was very fortunate and felt so blessed because I successfully passed the Philippine Licensure Examination for Nurses, which I took last December 1-2, 2007 here in Cebu City, Philippines. Although I wasn’t really confident enough of my answers and responses to all the questions, yet, the only thing that kept me strong and optimistic was my FAITH in GOD above.

Everyday I prayed that He would let me pass the exams somehow and would give me strength to accept whatever the results may be. But look at what He has done! He answered my prayer!

I’m so thankful for this and for all the blessings He has given me. There’s no prayer I have and had that He didn’t answer. It may not be given or answered the way I wanted, but rather, it was all answered in a much better way than what I expected. He may not answer all our calls and pleas right there and then, yet, He surely does in His own time. So, I’ve waited patiently because I know that GOD’s time is never late, it always strikes at the right time.

So, here’s my piece of advice—when you pray, take time to listen to His answer. Be patient and be sensitive to every little thing that happens because you might never know that in those little things GOD has already given you the answer.

And I want to say “Thank You” to those who prayed for me, too. Even then, we must still continue praying. For all the good things He has done and for all those that He has yet to do, let us praise and pray!

GOD BLESS US ALL!

Because of You by Kelly Clarkson

February 21, 2008

I really love this song because of its meaning. This was sung by Kelly Clarkson who won in the American Idol. Please read its lyrics and try to internalize its message. The song goes this way…

Because Of You

I will not make the same mistakes that you did 
And I will not let myself 
Cause my heart so much misery 
I will not break the way you did 
You fell so hard 
I’ve learned the hard way 
To never let it get that far 

Because of you 
I never stray too far from the sidewalk 
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt 
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me 
But everyone around me 
Because of you 
I am afraid 
 
I lose my way 
And it’s not too long before you point it out 
I can not cry 
Because I know that’s weakness in your eyes 
I’m forced to fake a smile, a laugh 
Everyday of my life 
My heart can’t possibly break 
When it wasn’t even whole to start with 
 
Because of you 
I never stray too far from the sidewalk 
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt 
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me 
But everyone around me 
Because of you 
I am afraid 
 
I watched you die
(I watched you die)
I heard you cry 
Every night in your sleep
(In your sleep)  
I was so young
(I was too young for you)
You should have known better than to lean on me
(To lean on me)
You never thought of anyone else
(You never saw me)
You just saw your pain 
And I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing
 
Because of you 
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don’t know how to let anyone else in
Because of you 
I’m ashamed of my life because it’s empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you, ooh
Because of you, ooh, ooh

Today is Sunday! =)

February 3, 2008

Good morning to all! What a beautiful Sunday!!!

Today is Sunday so this is our rest day. But sad, I have a work today. Well, I’m planning to go to church this afternoon after work to attend the mass and hopefully can have a deep rest at home afterwards.

Well, anyways, it has been rumored all over the country that today will be the release of the Philippine Nursing Board Exam results. I’ll be praying and will keep on praying for positive results that I may pass and top in the exam which I took last December 2007. That’s what I’m always praying for, and I’m hoping and praying that our Heavenly Father will hear my plea.

Please do pray for it also. =)

Thanks!

Have a good day!

February 1, 2008

hi! i’m not so busy right now that’s why making this blog came into my mind. at last, i now have a job and this is my first job ever! i find it really interesting and challenging as a fresh nursing graduate! i’m a clinic coordinator and my primary functions are to act as a company nurse during my entire 12-hour shift and to address appropriately the health needs or complaints of the people working in our company.

well, anyways, i just want to talk about my first job experience and i’ll be updating you guys with respect to my daily work experiences and/or about anything that could surely be very pleasureable to all, regardless of interest.

i’ll keep in touch and keep doing adjustments from time to time to fit your interest in visiting this site.
