Two years plus

It's been more than two years since I visited my precious blog and write something in it. More than two years of being away with blogging and seriously I miss it badly. I've been active in social sites like facebook and instagram that I forgot to update my blog. So what had happened to me after May 2013 (date when I last posted something in this blog..)

June - December 2013
I've been busy attending our review classes in preparation to our Nursing Licensure Examination for December 2013. We had our 3 months review in our school and almost a month in house at Villa Blanca Hotel. We had a lot of test drills, sleepless nights, pressured moments, anxiety filled our hotel rooms and every night prayer session as a group. Indeed, our hardships together with our parents had been tested because of the preparation. It was December when we finally had our two day board examination.

February 2014
After two months of agony in waiting for the result of our board exams I was able to see my name crystal clear on the internet, I was able to pass the NLE with our school as Top 1 Nationwide. Then, the rest was history. We had our thanksgiving mass in school, had our motorcade around the town and the historical oath taking was held in our school as a privileged for making it at the top.

March- June 2014
After passing the board and being a Registered Nurse..It was also a dream for me to become a Doctor, so I took the National Medical Assessment Test in Manila - UST even though I'm not physically, emotionally, physically, spiritually prepared I took the risk to take the exams..Unfortunately, there are some things that aren't meant to be in time, and I might well say it's not everyday that you get what you want and immediately succeed. Sometimes you need to fall down to learn and know how to get up. After not passing the NMAT and not being able to enroll in med school I took the chance to find a job just to spare my time in reviewing for NMAT again and finally pass the exams.

July 2014-December 2014
It was July of 2014 when I had my first job as Pharmacy Assistant under SM - Watsons Personal Care and Health Store. I was hired until December 2014.

That contains the gist of my 2014 story. On my next post, I'll share with you how I spent my Christmas and New Year with my family and friends. That's all for now. Thank you! God bless us all.

A very late - Year End Post

Time flies really fast. The year 2011 gave me a lot of opportunities to know God, myself, the people around me. I had learned to appreciate every moment, to care for people who showed love to me. I was blessed with material things this past year, and my studies went well also. I went through all the hardships I must say, and proven that answered prayers are the most powerful SOS..

When the clock stroke 12 midnight, I whispered a little prayer and thanked the Lord for all the blessings.. The challenges that I had surpassed, for my family, that we are still complete and healthy, for the beautiful and awesome friends that were always there to ease my pains and doubts.

I won't write everything that happened in my super dramatic life last 2011, but that doesn't mean that I forgot or regretted any decisions that I've made for the past year.. those will always remain in my heart and in my mind, I will take them as lessons and make things betters this time.. I know the Almighty God our father is always there for me, willing to hear my thoughts, fears and wearies. I am Happy with everything! Life is too short to think about the negative things. Fighting! Smile! And be thankful in everything. Amen! To God be the glory. Truly yours, Jam G.

11.11.11 - Happy 45th birthday papa!

Another day had passed, but hey! The date is not ordinary as what we usually experience. It's 11-11-11, some says it's a lucky day while for some people who has nothing to do with their lives call it an evil date, whatever they may say it's a great day for my Daddy because it is his birthday! I greeted him early in the morning but instead of receiving a little "Thank you" message from him, He gave me advises and told me he loves me. You know, my father is not the clingy type of Dad, he is NOT showing that he's sweet, he's not touchy, he's not emotional or dramatic. So receiving such message from him is an extremely touching moment for me.

The birthday man

As usual, we four (4) ate outside. We do it every time one of the members celebrate their birthday. We went to Lorie's Restaurant at Hotel Lorita's and ordered some grub. It is a convenient place for special occasions to celebrate, the ambiance is peaceful and they got WiFi there. Let me share to you guys what we had ordered and let me introduce to you guys my super fabulous and lovable family!

My mama

And have a look of those foods we ate, yummy!

PS: Will post tomorrow about my Christian Life Program CFC - Single's for Christ graduation. Today is Sunday, November 13. This is a back log post, please bear with me. As you can see, I'm also busy.. Congratulations to me, I feel so blessed anyway! And congratulations to Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, defeated Marquez for the 3rd time. He is really a legend!

Cake land with bestfriend

 My last post was indeed cheesy, I know that's too personal to post but that's the best way (for me..) to express how I feel, because I'm too coward to say it personally. Don't trust me when expressing feelings personally, I might breakdown. Anyways, let's start the day right with this back log post from last week. I try to update my blog, every once in a while.

While waiting for our orders

Meet my lovely bestfriend, Anna Mae

Before I went home, I invited my best friend Anna Mae to eat outside. And we dined at Cake land coffee house (our favorite tambayan..) Aside from its good food, its like a Starbucks branch was opened at our city. Its a local version of Starbucks Coffee, they serve cappuccinos, shakes, pastas, burgers, biscuits and of course it wouldn't be called CAKE LAND if they don't sell bunch of cakes, right?

My favorite was the blueberry tart and cheese cake. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to order it that time and wasn't able to take some pictures. We had pastas at the table and a strawberry cake for my Sis and a Yema sliced cake for me. It was delish! Great place to spend your cash and to fulfill the cravings of your tummy. Especially for those cake addicts. Aside from its good service, delicious foods, and a budget friendly coffee house. The ambiance of the place is so refreshing and relaxing. The woods resembles its interiors and it has a second floor which you could leave your slippers/shoes and you can sit in the carpet while enjoying their grub.

Cake land is a very modernize urban place. It was put up in Tuguegarao City just this year. And for that very short time it already caught my heart and my tummy's needs. Hehe! I will keep on coming back. Btw, it is also a good choice for dating place, but never mind I have nobody to date. Thank you cake land! I am enjoying your service.

19th Birthday

Wacky and witty me!

:)

I turned nineteen last Tuesday, October 11. I had receive overwhelming greetings from families, friends and loved ones even strangers, haha! It was a fun day, we were all busy preparing for our Rizal play that is why I didn't feel much of the atmosphere of my birthday.

The night before the role play

Lights, camera, action!

After a very tiring work at school, my Papa fetch me and the family went outside for a dinner. We celebrated my birthday together. As simple as that. 19 years of existence and enjoying life's mysteries, although I am encountering a lot of problems, I know I can handle them all. Keeping my feet to the ground and my faith stronger. 

My dearest papa.

I am lucky enough to have a life like this, I eat three to four times a day. I spend money on things I want, I have a very supportive family, I own friends, I enter school, I can read, write, see, hear, smell, taste. I Thank God for everyday, for everything and for making me experience all this! Amen.

For the future

The career I chose is not easy, reading in advance is your very weapon to be able to pass, to cope up with major subjects and in everyday that you go to school. After 2 years of hectic and toxic academic set up and I was able to pass our school's scary screening. I turned lenient especially last summer and up to now when it comes to reviewing and that is one of my problems I need to hand a solution right away.

I am on my 3rd year and the reality is my subjects are getting tougher and tougher. After getting the results of our prelim examination that was last week I was shocked to see such grades (not too low, but yet not high). With that I wanted to change my reviewing habits, as much as I want to stay on the library everyday I can't because of our busy schedule but since my parents provide me books I wanted not to waste my time and that every time sana that I have a vacant I want to read, read and read. Even a topic in an hour is enough. Thus, I decided to minimize my time on internet, and dealing with my shop and of course (its hard to do but..) my shopping addict. 

I realized this course is more important than other things, It holds my future, I hold my own future and that is why starting to be better is badly needed. I hope this would result to better scores and better me. :) Starting today! :)
