Crissy's Haven

Jacob Was A Surprise...

2009-11-21T16:19:00.002+08:00

It was the first night of New Moon Movie and my friends and I were so excited to watch it last night. After duty, off we went to the cinema and purchased our movie tickets. All New Moon cinemas were full with this Twilight's Saga lovers.

I think the movie was good. But I felt the story was fast paced as compared to the book. Of course they have to compressed the whole book into a movie and so I understand that. Still the vampires got a bad makeup. But what all the movie goers got struck even I, was Jacob's transformation. Not as a werewolf but as a hunk! Haha. Great physique he got there which got everyone surprised and loved him to death.

Pre Christmas Shopping

2009-11-10T19:22:00.002+08:00

Christmas is fast approaching and I bet there are some smart people who already started their shopping spree to avoid the Christmas rush. It's actually a good idea. But then, even if this is an ample time to shop, there are some busy people, who can't still managed to shop in the malls due to their hectic schedules. This is when online shopping becomes a saver. Of course there are certain websites where you can shop online such as circuit city. Lots of varieties to choose from at a reasonable price. Plus it's very convenient than shopping in the mall, right? So start surfing the net now!

Witnessing a Pedia Operations...

2009-11-06T19:48:00.002+08:00

This is the very first time I get to witness and circulate on a pediatric operation. Just this morning, we had a 1 year old baby for an insertion of a venous access implants. This is done for his chemotherapy. In comparison with the operation of the adults, you get to be more fragile in handling pediatric cases. I alos find it very pitiful to look at babies in the operation table. Aww. Nevertheless, the operation was a success. I also got to know this day that pedia patients go into tantrums when they are on NPO. Why wouldn't they? They're hungry! Hehe.

Searching for Sales Job

2009-11-05T19:36:00.003+08:00

Back then, I was wondering what made it difficult for job seekers to find a job after graduation. Now I felt like how hard it is. After graduating, I didn't find a job immediately, but rather took all the exams I needed for my profession. After which, did some clinical trainings and tried applying for employment. Unfortunately, it wasn't that easy. The training I had undergone wasn't an assurance of my absorption in the institution. I still have to experience failures and rejections from employers. And every institution has their own training program before applying for employment. No wonder there are a lot of people from my profession sought to seek for a job not related to our careers. For instance, Sales Job in the business arena. Some of us finds it easier to get a job in the business area than the medical field, especially nowadays that you can easily apply online with the help of Sales Job Search.

Soul's Day or Rather...It's Saul's Day

2009-11-05T19:26:00.002+08:00

Every year, we usually celebrate the "undas" on the 2nd day of November together with the celebration of my cousin's birthday. His name was derived from All "Soul's" Day and his father's name.

We were all present at my grandfather's grave. This year was special since my godmother from the states, who is very close to our family, well in fact, she's even a part of our family was here to celebrate it with us.

I was also thankful I made it despite of my clinical training. Hence, I was very happy bonding with my family and my relatives.

What my Sunday Felt Like

2009-10-26T16:41:00.003+08:00

It was a Sunday yesterday and I had this urge to go to mass. I gave in to the calling but was quite late when I arrived at the church. The priest was already giving his homily and it was about love and marriage. Hmm... Anyways, I went to the mall thereafter to buy some stuffs needed for my duty. One thing that I need is a toothpaste, and so I was scanning over the toothpaste section. My attention was sought when I stumbled on this whitening toothpaste that is an appetite suppressants. I wonder if it does work, do any of you tried one? Was able to buy some good facial scrub and I'm meaning to buy the other lines of the said brand. The ample time I gave to myself that day helped relieves the stress I was having. LOL.

Our First Shifting Duty

2009-10-20T19:32:00.003+08:00

I don't know what crossed our head nurse's mind that he gave us a duty off this Friday and asked us to report on duty this Saturday. Initially, we will be reporting on morning duty for the whole month and consider it as our orientation. But I guess, some staff requested for it or perhaps, this Saturday is a toxic day. Still, it was okay and we were happy to have our off this Friday and I will be having my PM duty this Saturday. Weeh!

No Graveyard Shift!!!

2009-10-20T19:26:00.002+08:00

During our orientation in O.R. with our head nurse, he informed us that he wouldn't be giving us a graveyard shift. I felt so relieved upon hearing that not only will I get dark circles around my eyes, but as well as avoid possible creepy encounters in the unit. I believe wherever you will be, there will be spooky stories you will hear from the locals, and our unit is no exemption. Nevertheless, it was a good news for me as I was anticipating fear that night shift will give me. LOL.

Car Accidents

2009-10-17T16:40:00.002+08:00

Car accidents may be due to car negligence, recklessness, impairments or dangerous road conditions. There are a lot of factors and I think no one ever wants to have a car accident. Most of the cases were accidents, thus unexpected. But when the time comes that we least expect this thing to happen, it's best that we should be ready with our defense. May be in the for of car insurance or lawyer like the Tacoma car accident lawyer that would help us with this problem.

Driving Around McDo Bajada

2009-10-17T16:33:00.003+08:00

After duty yesterday, my group mates and I were very happy that Sir Jun offered to drive us to Victoria Plaza with his Montero Car. It all started with a joke. We were teasing him during our duty to drive us to the mall in his car, without really knowing he really has one. While dressing up for home, we were all surprised when suddenly Sir Jun asked us if we are going with him. We were caught off guard because we really didn't expect that he was taking our joke seriously and that he really did have a car. And so we readily said yes! While he was driving us around Mcdo bajada, I saw a familiar face of a pretty lady. I realized she was my schoolmate back in college and I can't believe she lost some weight. I wonder if she uses some weight loss pills or perhaps it's the result of her working as a flight attendant.

Advocating Life Insurance

2009-10-17T16:30:00.003+08:00

Being a healthcare worker and being the eldest offspring in the family, I realized that having an insurance is a necessity nowadays, especially with life insurance. We have to be practical and ensure our self and our family's welfare. There are various insurance available in the market today catering to our needs. It's best to do some research and ask the help of the experts before purchasing one.

Discipline Through Sports

2009-10-17T16:24:00.002+08:00

At a young age, it's good to expose kids in sports. Not only do they achieve physical wellness but it also develop their social skills, teamwork and discipline in oneself to name a few. I am grateful that I was an athlete back in school. I learned a lot and developed my passion in every thing that I do. It drives me to perfection. And even now that I rarely play sports, I still practice the virtues I learned from sports. The only regret I have though is, I wasn't able to pursue my dream to be an equestrian and fit those nice and decent equestrian apparels.

Chit Chats About Working Abroad

2009-10-13T18:46:00.002+08:00

As nurses, when we're in the stage of getting to know each other, most of the conversations will lead to taking up foreign exams and working abroad. Fortunately, I passed all the foreign exams required to take to work in the United States. And they were all asking me if I have an employer already. And yes I do. My employer is in New York and I had already had signed a contract with them. Currently, I'm waiting for my visa number and hopefully in the future I will be granted the visa and could work in New York. That would be a dream come true. And since I am pursuing my dream to work in NY, I think it is best for me to scan for any good New York accident lawyers that I could contact in case I needed one. Hopefully my New Yorker friends will help me with that.

Weight Loss Conversation

2009-10-13T18:39:00.002+08:00

Our duty this day wasn't that toxic. We had 3 minor cases in the operating room and after all has been done, my co-trainees and I had the luxury of time to make chit chats. It was around lunch time when we were discussing on what we should order for lunch. Three of us ordered kare-kare while the only guy in our group just ordered palabok. He insisted he's controlling the amount of food he's consuming as he is gaining weight already. He did'nt like to opt for weight loss product, as this will be his last resort. But then I thought that palabok is still rich in carbohydrates and it's still useless if he chooses that for his diet plan. LOL. Anyways, I was satisfied with the kare-kare I ate. It was delicious!

Unhealthy Fats

2009-10-11T10:50:00.002+08:00

Back then, I was conscious with my weight. I went to the gym and lost some weight. It was satisfying as I had lost 6 kilos from it. Though unfortunately, eventhough I lost some weight, I still have belly fats. And I know it isn't healthy since it's still prone to heart diseases. And because I was sensitive with it, I asked my trainor on how to lose belly fat fast. According to him, it's plainly simple...just skip rice and sodas. Huhu.

Texas Accomodations

2009-10-11T10:47:00.002+08:00

Just last week, I heard that a college batchmate of mine just flew to states. She's a nurse and she got a job via working visa in Texas. The processing was quite fast and now she's there already. I wonder if she is staying in an Austin apartments in Texas. Or perhaps, she has relatives there. Nevertheless, I'm still happy for her.

Live Chat On Facebook

2009-10-11T10:39:00.006+08:00

I know there are a lot people out there who are currently addicted to facebook. Who wouldn't? Aside from social networking, you get to play games application in it. But one thing that I like from this site is the fact that you can have a live chat with your online facebook friends. No need to ask them for their YM id for you to chat with them. It's convenient and helps strengthen your bonds too!

Typhoon Ondoy

2009-09-28T21:37:00.003+08:00

Certain parts of Manila has been greatly affected by typhoon "Ondoy". People from various status were greatly affected. They need food, clothings, shelter, medicines and other stuffs. As of now, deaths has increased to a hundred. Most of them were kids who were drowned and got trapped from their houses. Though Philippines is being frequently visited by typhoons, this is the worst thing that happened to our beloved country. Still, many people are missing and rescuers are still on it's effort to save them.

Here's one striking video I found online. Had seen this on TV and I really got teary eyed watching these people swallowed by the flood helplessly. Bystanders on the bridge tried to help them but failed due to the water's strong current.

My fellow Filipinos do greatly need your help! Please visit this site on how to extend your help in any kind.

ABS-CBN

Another PC Upgrade Plan

2009-09-28T21:31:00.002+08:00

My brother and I are gamers. We spent most of our free time in front of the computer and play our favorite games. We used to be a hard core gamer on some RPG online games. But not, since we're kinda busy, we usually play some casual games on facebook and some games that were downloaded in our desktop. My brother plans to have our video card upgraded by buying a new one. He saves for it and I hope he could buy one in time.

Great Smile Is A Good Asset

2009-09-28T21:24:00.002+08:00

As for me, I think having a great smile is your best asset. Whenever I see some friends and even the strangers who smiled at me, I smile back. It's contagious and it helps lighten someone's mood immediately. On the contrary, what prohibits me from smiling is due to some teeth imperfections. I've been planning to go to the dentist to have it fixed but I think it may cost a lot. Perhaps I'll pursue that plan when I get to the states and find some Plano cosmetic dentist.

Car Parts

2009-09-28T21:18:00.002+08:00

Got the time to hang out at our store last week as I was preparing my requirements for my clinical training. My family's handling an auto supply shop and one morning, a walk in customer passed by and asked about the availability of certain car parts of a luxury car. We had none of those and so i recommended him to try searching for Mopar performance parts online.

A Very Sad Yet An Inspiring Story...

2009-09-21T12:32:00.002+08:00

My brother showed me this video last night and while we were watching the whole video clip, I can't hide the feelings of sadness felt for these siblings. They were left by their parents and their 8 year old sister cares for them. Such an angel! Despite of poverty she still finds to take care of her brother and sister. They were severely malnourished. This video just proves that we should count our blessings and share these with the unfortunate people like them.

Premature Wrinkles

2009-09-21T12:28:00.003+08:00

At my age, I am starting to get premature wrinkles around my eyes. As hard as I want to maintain a positive outlook in life, there will always be stressors around. Sleepless nights and dehydration I guess helped contribute to this upleasant wrinkles. When did it became pleasant though? Hehe. Anyways, I've been craving for various eye creams and there's one particular eye cream I am using now. Hope it'll do wonders.

Ensuring Our Safety

2009-09-17T11:44:00.011+08:00

In the nursing field, our primary concern and our top most priority is to ensure the safety of our patients. It is also the same in our household. Especially now that we have a toddler in our home. Toddlers are curious kids and very movable. And so we see to it that we buy safety products . Buying these kind of products doesn't only ensure safety for our toddler but also with each and everyone of us.

Anticipating A Change of Neighborhood

2009-09-17T11:37:00.002+08:00

Just recently, there were rumors that the airport is planning to expand again for international purposes. Our village is near the ran way. And if that happens, many homes will be paid to be demolished. I am hoping that ours wouldn't be affected with the expansion. It would be kinda hard to move and a long distance movers would really be a great help. But it's also saddening to move from here sicne there are already a lot of good memories during our childhood here.
