The Fifth Marauder

haha wala lang. it's not as tragic as it sounds. so i took the board exam last june 1 and 2, and well, i know i did my best. sure the test was effing hard and i wanted to jump off the torres high school 3rd floor corridor in tondo after nursing practice 3 and then had the same urge again after nursing practice 5 the next day, i don't feel any regrets regarding my lack of knowledge or my answers on the exam. because like what my friend rochelle have said, even if we enrolled in 10 review centers, we would still have felt the same after nursing practice 5. the exam was not based on the stuff that they taught us in the 2 review centers that we have enrolled in. well except for nursing practice 4. i was really disappointed at myself because i know i have encountered some of the concepts that were asked, and yet for the life of me i couldn't seem to churn out the correct answer.

and don't even get me started on the our testing venue. argh. the arm chairs were dusty, the air freshener was garbage-scented (hehe), and the room i was in had only 2 functional electric fans, but they were miniscule and could only ventilate one area in the room. my only consolation is that my friend sef was taking the test in the same floor as i was so i didn't have to eat lunch alone.

i just hope that i am a great guesser because 70% of my answers in the exam were purely guesswork.  

so anyway, i decided to reward myself today for all the semi-hard work that i did last month. i went on a date with myself. i watched a movie, bought 3 shirts, and had a haircut. i know i look better with long hair and i love it especially in the morning after i wake up when it's all disheveled and curly, but i really really hate combing my hair. besides, i could use a change. i've been long-haired for a quite a while now.

so now that the board exams are over, i can now officially say that i am a college graduate and unemployed. hehe.  

i never thought that i would miss reviewing, but i actually do. for the first time in weeks i actually slept for 7 hours last night and i had a headache when i woke up this morning. and i kept on running out of things to do with my suddenly enormous amounts of free time. hehe.

nclex naman! i would be leaving for the states in 2 months more or less.  still don't know if i'm excited or sad about it. but for some reason, i have this feeling that i will be back 2-3 months after that.

could i be any more useless? haha just whiled the day away by napping, going online, watching tv, and reading time traveller's wife. before i knew it, it was time for dinner. hahaha.

well i did do something productive earlier this morning, i hid my review materials behind my book backlog. and i gave away two of my books. yay. hehe.

i wish i could decide already on when to leave for the US. and i bet my mom does too hehe.  i can leave next week if i wanted to but the thing is my transcript, rle summary etc won't be available until the first week of july and the board results won't be released until august. everyone's still a bit hazy about the requirements. i don't know whether it is required that i have my phillipine license or not when i apply in illinois. i wish i could apply for a job or something but i doubt that there's anyone out there who's going to hire somebody who's going to resign in about two months.

it'll come to me. maybe tomorrow. or on tuesday. hahaha basta i believe that one morning am going to wake up and decide. but for now... tambay lang ever. hahaha.  

i guess one of the nice things about being unemployed is that i am free to do whatever tickles my fancy everyday. i mean when i was reviewing, my days were predictable. the only thing i had control over was where to review after the kaplan session ends for the day and what to eat for dinner. oh and whether to splurge on starbucks or be stuck with go nuts donuts brewed coffee. usually it's the latter. hehe.

so anyway i woke up today and decided that i am going to go on a date with myself and watch satc. well i have mixed feelings over it. i love the clothes and bags, and the girls have clearly aged over the years but it doesn't matter they were still fabulous! i especially love the bridal gowns carrie wore for the vogue photoshoot. however after the first hour i found myself looking at the time and wondering if whether the movie was ending in the next 5 mins or so because it felt like the never ending chick flick. don't get me wrong though, i still loved the movie but i felt that it was too long.

i missed my girl friends after seeing the movie though. i remember having our own sex and the city chorva wherein i was carrie, cha was samantha, faye was charlotte, and ara was miranda. and cheti was stanford. hehe. hay those were the days. my fave gurl would always be samantha though, and i especially loved it when she told smith "i love me more". and when she was ranting about how she would say smith's name 50 more times than her own (or something like that). wow. i loved it that the writer ended the movie with samantha as a single gal because well, she really isn't the settling down type like her other girl friends. you never heard her in the show that she's out there looking for love. with her it's always looking for the next guy to fuck. hehe.

anyway, i should really get a move on with my preparations for going abroad. i already have a date in my mind, august 2. it's only a booking for a flight, i can change it like i could make it earlier or extend until next year (bwehehehe) but i don't think it'll be necessary. i have almost 2 months to sort out my affairs here. although i have a strange feeling that i am going to be back if not late this year, early next year. wala lang. i hope it's not because i failed the local boards or the nclex though. hehe. or i might be wrong. because the last time i went to the US with the intention of staying there for a really long time, i didn't want to go back here and i found myself back in the philippines a few months later. maybe the opposite will happen.

like with the movie, i am still having mixed feelings over moving on to the next stage of my life wherein i finally grow up and earn my keep. i sometimes wish i didn't have to move to the US to do this. i mean i love it here even if it's hot, dirty, and gas is way too expensive (hehe). i mean i know that when december comes i would not be able to wear flip flops in chicago while here i can wear tsinelas the whole year round, even on rainy days even if it's a bit icky knowing that i would be washing my feet with dog poop and spit in a little while. hehe. on the other hand though, i can't wait to feel more useful and work. sure i can survive here in the philippines with a minimum wage, but that is not why i took up nursing in the first place.

i know i will slowly warm up to the idea of me working abroad, maybe i'm just too lazy to sort out my things, shop for my mom's pabilins, get driving lessons, and review for the nclex.  

the dunkin donuts choco wacko donut totally rocks! hehe wala lang. 

i am done with my cousin's 8 simple rules dvd and halfway through hannah montana. i may have to buy a new dvd series soon. waaah. hehe 

for i have started studying again. hehehe. well actually i just opened my fundamentals of nursing test questions booklet this afternoon and answered a chapter of questions. it's just that i don't think i won't have time to enrol in a review center for the nclex that's why i'm doing this. plus i might forget the stuff that was taught in the review center. hehe. besides, i can't really bring my test booklets when i leave for the US because they're "pirated". hehe. and i paid good money for these things so it would be such a waste to leave them to rot in the bookshelf. i just hope i would still remember whatever i'm going to read in the next few weeks by the time i take the nclex on september or october.

oh and if i fail the nclex or the nle on my first try, i have to go back here and have my visa renewed. waaaah.

my hair sucks.  i look like a boy sometimes. hehe.

 

i just found out this morning that 2 of my close friends from st scho are pregnant. on ym. 2 other people from our group still became mommies years ago. we were a 6 person group during our freshman year.

i just wanted to ask, by any chance, did we have a sort of agreement that we should all be mommies and/or married before we turn 25? was i absent that day they made this pact? when the "finish line" for girls was defined in the movie got to believe, did my other friends take it seriously?

well it's just not them though. my cousins, the ones i used to play and hang out with during family gatherings have the same goal in mind: get married and have babies.

don't get me wrong, i am not envious or anything. it's just that i feel so young and inadequate compared to them. they all have careers and money already and have moved on to the next step, which is to build a family of their own, whereas me i have just finished college and is currently on tambay mode. and can't seem to construct a decent blog entry anymore. haha.

anyway, while i do not miss kaplan or reviewing anymore, i do miss falling asleep minutes after my head hits the pillow at night. the byahe to and from makati plus reviewing almost the whole day makes me so tired that when i get home i just want to dive into my bed and sleep.

still no luck on the booking thing. argh. lagot ako sa nanay ko talaga.

i'm sorry this is going to be a long one.. i have forgotten how to do the text cut thing hehe. for people who read for fun like i do
