▶ ▷ Fave hair and studying before exam!

This has been my all time favorite look because it's so easy to do and still manages to look cute!

No such hussle like burning your hands in a hair-damaging curling iron. All you need to do is....

Yup! Hair braid! Take a shower the night before and while your hair is still damp, braid it (if you can braid by yourself or ask someone to do it) :). Leave it overnight (or if you are like me who wakes up late, come to school with the braids on and put a hat on, lol) and then just take it out. You'll have very nice curls, guaranteed!

I had to look presentable for my final presentation as an undergrad. It was 80 degrees and I was afraid my hair would be frizzy if I left it straight. It worked out and I think our presentation went well :)

3 MORE EXAMS~ We were studying for my 4th exam for Crisis during break. And you know what happens when you study with friends during a 3-hour break...



Yeh, that sums it all :)

Last day of clinicals... ever.

Today was our last day of clinicals. That means many things.

1. Last day wearing this ugly burgundy scrubs :)

2. Last day cleaning a patient without getting paid :)

3. Last day being a student nurse :)

4. Last day of taking less responsibilities :|

5. Last day spending 8 hours twice a week in the Medical-Respiratory Intensive Care Unit with the most amazing nurses in the hospital :(

It's good and quite sad. The four of us who were chosen to be in the M-RICU prepared a lot of food for the staff because they were so great to us.

They loved us and we love them. The mentors who taught us for 6 weeks became our friends. We looked up to them as role models and someone we, as students, can confide to about the crazy days of being a nursing student and the challenges of being a soon-to-be professional nurse. And they understood us. The mentor-student relationship we created was extraordinary and this experience solidified my decision to be a nurse. I am personally going to miss everyone.

It was an amazing experience. I will never forget my last day of clinical as a student nurse.

Diary #2

Today, my sister and I went jogging. It was not that cold but it was very gloomy out because of the rain. I had an ulterior motive on why I wanted to jog though, haha I actually needed to go to Center City to buy some things. Shame on me for using exercise as my excuse to shop. At least I'm hitting two birds with one stone right?

Actually, there was 60% off on swimsuits in Old Navy and it was only for FOUR hours! I had to go!! I bought $90 worth of swimwear and I only paid $35. How awesome is that? Plus, I also had to buy a pack of 'thank you' cards and I thought only Valu Plus has it for cheap. I went there and it was closed and just learned the Dollar Store has it too. I bought all I needed and I'm happy I did not spend a lot.

Afterwards, my sister and I went to my friend's house who is leaving to PH next week :( We had fun and ate a lot of food. Then, our friend's dad drove us home. I think he was driving 200mph in the rain on the highway. I blinked and we were home already. I did not even have time to be scared although it was! I'm so glad school is almost over and I get to do more stuff without worrying for next week :)

And of course, I am also currently obsessed with Casey Abrams from American Idol. If he gets voted off, I do not think I will be watching idol as much. He is, in my opinion, a musical genius. :)

New lappie!

I bought a new laptop!


It hasn't been delivered yet, but it'll be here soon. The color made me buy it! It's so pretty. Haha, not really. Aside from it being purple, it's really cheap for its specs. Not the best out there because that would cost more, but the price is very reasonable. Can't wait to use it!

Oh, this is from the new line of HP, the G6 series. Not really new, but the colors are new. It now comes with pink, purple, blue, red and silver. :)

Diary #1

I originally wanted this blog to be about my personal opinions about various issues and topics, but I think posting a few blabs about my life wouldn't hurt. So.. I'll have these personal blabs once in a while. (FYI, this is my own way to procrastinate, haha. I'm supposed to do work.)

This week was weird and interesting. My clinical rotation has been good so far until Wednesday. Every bit of my body hurt and I had no energy to move or think. It was my fault though. I played racquetball on Tuesday and it drained everything out of me. Yes, it's just racquetball, but I haven't gone to the gym in.. years maybe? I felt so weak especially when I had to lift heavy clients. I was literally like a zombie in clinicals. So, never never again would I play the day before I go to the hospital. I need to build my stamina first.

Anyway, I finished my presentation in one of my classes. Just one more presentation, 3 more exams, and a final revision of a paper and I'm done! The presentation was not bad I thought, but I still hate public speaking so much. Whenever I'm nervous, I tend to talk loud and fast and it's so obvious. And then our class had a discussion about labor unions. It was interesting, annoying and sad. I had lots of opinions, but did not feel like voicing them out.

The most exciting part of this week is that PHILLIES WON on the opening day today!!

Some people may find it weird that I blog. I started blogging in 2005 and yes my old blog is still alive, but I won't reveal it, haha. My posts were so childish and carefree. I enjoy reading the 14-year-old me though. (Some things never changed; I'm still cheesy -_-) I figured it would be really cool to look back to this blog 10 years from now.
