I have a cousin who is a registered nurse right after she graduated from college. She’s the 2nd cousin of mine who chose to be a nurse. When she was about to enroll in college I asked her why she wanted to become a nurse and her answer was that she wanted to wear nurses uniforms ‘coz for her it’s a prestige meaning a noble profession in helping other people. But during that time she didn’t pass the entrance exam or should I say, she lacked few points in order for her to pass. When I looked at her that time, she’s kind of frustrated at the same time afraid of her mother. So what I did, I tried to talk to the examination in-charge and asked that if possible she can have the BSN course under probationary status. Besides my cousin did have nice grades during her high school years and so when the examination in-charge checked her report card, that person said a big yes to my plea. When I heard the positive answer, I called up my aunt who’s scolding my cousin of not passing the exam. I told my aunt that my cousin can enroll during that day or the following day. I also handed the enrollment form to her in which my aunt was so happy. To make a long story short, right after four years of studying BSN and few summer classes, my cousin graduated. When she took the nursing board exam, she easily passed. Right now, she’s a Registered Nurse and is working at their province. She said that she doesn’t want to go abroad because she wants to serve at the hospital in their place. I just don’t know if her mind will change since she can easily go abroad whenever she wants to since they’re well off and she can easily pay for any placement fee or any processing for her to work in other countries. At any rate, I am so proud of her. She’s one of the kid that I helped in a college enrollment and became a professional.

It is so funny that my siblings are addicted of the download from YouTube videos. They even shared it with me and it was fun. Those videos that they had were worth keeping and watching. For my brother, he always saved his downloaded videos in DVDs so that he can bring it at the mountain for father to watch it since there’s no internet there. For my sister, she just saved her downloaded videos for the purpose of having a record on it so that she can watch her favorite videos from time to time. What a great thing!

I am just missing the colors of summer once again. Hope next summer my home will not be that hot. Hope there will be proper ventilations and all. And most of all I hope that there will be more blessings for my family.

To have the attention of the kid for his homeschooling, I need to make different tricks. And one of the tricks that I need for him is to connect my old laptop to my living room TV with HDMI. But my wire is not enough for it. It is so short since this cable is for the Xbox console. And so with this, what I want to buy is any of the long hdmi cables! Though, I have my favorite brands of cables and wires, but then, I will just check the most affordable brand of HDMI cables so that my budget will fit and so that I can somehow save even when I will spend on this thing.

This December, I need some medical help from my insurance since I will be having a surgery. I am hoping everything will just be fine and I will recover at least within a week as I have a five year old kid and a 3 month old baby. No one will help me and my family here so I will do my best to get back with my health again. I hope my surgery will be successful and also my insurance will cover most of the cost as my family doesn’t have any savings at all.

This was the monopoly game I used to play at Mcdo. It was fun winning those small prizes in which I wasn’t able to claim. Hope next time, I will win the jackpot prizes for a change. He-he!

Whenever I have my own bedroom for myself and my kids, I will surely buy rustic bedroom furniture. I don’t care if the room will be small or big for as long as I will have the right furniture in which it will make me and my kids comfortable whenever we want to take a nap or sleep for the night. As of the present, I will just have to live what we have since these things are all that we’ve got. Right now, we are just staying in the all in one room – the living room in which it is our bed room, dining area, kitchen, computer room, play room, home schooling room, and more. Even if it’s like this, our place is still a blessing for us ‘coz this is better than going homeless.

I can remember that during Christmas, my friends and I will always exchange Christmas Cards. It’s either we will snail mail it or we will give it in person.  This thing is one traditional act of kindness during this holiday. And I miss my friends a lot. With this thing, I guess, I will be sending some Christmas cards for each of my friends on or before Christmas. I just want to surprise them. Aside from the card, I will also send a little thing so that they can somehow buy the things that they want most.

People who have the attitude of perseverance always will succeed and will have victory in the end. This is what I’ve known because this is my experience. I have success and I am victorious with my problems in life and it’s the reason why I am still alive right now. Having the attitude of perseverance is a gift.

It’s been several years now and I am not able to visit my homeland. I still can recall during the day of when I left my Friends and Family in order for me to be with my husband and start my own family. As of the present, I am blessed with two kids. And no matter how hard I am to be with and to understand, I am thankful that my husband still loves me. Anyway, I do hope that I will be able to meet my families and close friends whenever my kids, husband and I will have a vacation in the coming years!
