Coffee, anyone?

Errr. Do I know you?

Well, I can't think of a decent title for this post since I've been preoccupied with tons of celebrations, including my own birthday celebration. Yes, I recently celebrated my 23rd birthday here in Egypt. Obviously, I rejected all the crazy house party teasing and settled for a 2-part birthday "inuman" session with my neighbors. Don't worry, guys. I'll be posting all the images from my birthday bash sometime soon. For now, I'll just update everyone with what has been happening with my life here in Egypt.

1. I had an intense argument with my Egyptian supervisor the other day due to my co-workers persistent nuisance. I argued that every patient, whether stable or a VIP, is still a patient that needs ample silence and nursing attention. Obviously, she was biased with her own kind and warned me to be very careful. Of course, I will.


2. My flatmates think I'm stupid. I don't know why they think of me that way but I presume it's because of the simple fact that I can't cook anything. Nevertheless, I separated from them na, in terms of food expenses, just to settle everything. Silence is sooo therapeutic.


3. Work has been intense, as always. I've been doing things I never thought I'd actually do, like assisting in CABG cases. Not to mention the fact that I've been trying to improve my nursing skills everyday in order to be a better nurse. Unfortunately, the system inside the OR consumes my idealism. Too bad.


4. I'm lifting weights again. Yipeee! I found thing cool gym near our flat that has everything that I nee: appropriate ventilation, nifty equipment, and treadmill! Yahoo! I usually go there after work to maximize my adrenaline levels. I'm actually starting to feel my muscles again. Hahaha.


5. Think. Think. Think. Yes, I've been overthinking again. I spend tons of glucose on overthinking that I sometimes need a candy just to overthink again. Uggh. Boring life, ain't it?


6. I miss the Philippines. Traffic in EDSA. Krispy Kreme in Megamall. Strabucks Gateway Mall or Araneta Center. Dairy Queen Gateway. Gateway Cineplex 10. Trinoma window shopping. Care-free dates and endless talking. My mother's consistent sermon in the morning. My sister's whining. My nephew's perkiness. My lola's laugh. My bestfriend's text messages. Sunday Mass at St. Claire. Endless internet connection.  You. Blah. Blah. Blah.


7. My Dad has been very supportive of me lately. He has been calling me every once in a while just to check if I'm still breathing or something. I sure miss his company.


8. "I don't have the strength to stay away from you anymore" - Edward Cullen, Twilight


9. Errr. Do you still think of me?


10. One Venti Extra Hot Non-Fat Caramel Macchiato to go, please. Thank you.

Coffee, anyone?

One Year

Happy birthday to you, A Nurse's Note!

It has been a year since I started this beloved blog of mine and I seriously think that a very delicious chocolate mousse cake is in order. *clap*clap*clap*

Anyways, here are some random facts about my blog that actually made me wonder. Hmmm.

Yes, I have to admit that this endearing blog of mine is, honestly, not doing good at all. I haven't been writing anything since my current job as a PACU nurse demands most, if not all, of my time and physical/emotional energy. Not to mention the boring fact that I have no PC at home and my mobile phone won't allow me to enter wordpress.com whenever I'm online. Crappy indeed, eh?

So, what's next for my lovely blog come 2009? Well, I seriously don't know. I don't want to preempt anything, really, but I'll probably try to post at least one entry a week. *fingers crossed* Plus, I'll attempt to post some photos from my phone just to add some spice in this tiny space of mine. I plan to visit some touristic spots here in Egypt next year and uploading images from these adventures would be seriously fun. I definitely can't wait! Yipee!

Until next time, then? Toodles!

Coffee, anyone?

So Sick

Yes, I'm currently sick with flu while typing this nifty and obnoxious entry. I think I got it from too much TV and relentless stress from work. Uggh.

Anyways, what have I been up to? Errr. Apart from work and more work, I've been collecting "GOSSIP" from all sides of our hospital. Haha. FYI, it has been my eternal hobby since my high school days to collect all sorts of "GOSSIP" from my trusty sources. Let me share some, if not the most, controversial gossip in our area.

1. A certain someone, boy 1, from our side of the fence has been recently joining another individual, boy 2, on the other side of the fence. They appear to be good friends on the outside but rumor has it that they've been more than that. Boy 1 has the so-called "guy-next-door" appeal that draws everybody's attention. Not to mention his silent demeanor during gatherings also adds a little mystery to his true nature. On the other hand, boy 2 has been on the other side of the fence for quite some time. Being one of the seniors makes him a notable figure during critical times. What have they been up to? Honestly, I don't know. What I do know is that boy 1 will be "moving in" with boy 2 early next year on the other side of the fence. Permanently. Do the math, okay?


2. My batchmate has been playing fire for about a month now with mother dearest. Having 2 girlfriends, one in the US and another in the Philippines, didn't stop him from getting naughty and nice with mother dearest. He appears "maangas" and playful most of the time and it certainly helped him to nail mother dearest. Consequently, mother dearest is uber friendly with everyone, myself included. I wonder how would mother dearest's family back home would react to this May-December love affair?


3. I just learned the other night that flat clown has been in a relationship with fiery biscuit for almost 3 months now. Flat clown has been jolly and care-free since day 1. He likes to make jokes and makes all occassions worry-free. Meanwhile, fiery biscuit has been, in my opinion, a b*tch. Apparently, fiery biscuit was still with her home-based ex-BF when flat clown made his intentions known. The funny thing here is the fact that everybody has branded flat clown as "not normal" when in reality he's "normal" as the word itself. My source also informed me that flat clown has been "plowing the field" for quite some time now and the house senior citizen, alongside younster A, does not suspect a single thing. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

Well, that's about it. I'll try to post some more "GOSSIP" some time in the near future. I have to clean my room today or else my housemates will have me evicted ASAP.

Coffee, anyone?

A Very Late Post

Finally.

After weeks of uncertainty, I have finally found the mental and physical strength to visit my beloved blog and write about my current state here in Egypt. This will be a short one due to time constraints but, nevertheless, I'll try to squeeze everything in to make this post worthwhile.

Y'all know that I'm currently in Egypt working as a Staff Nurse for the Operating Room Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (OR-PACU) at Dar Al Fouad Hospital. Yes, it is a specialized area and only a limited number of experienced personnel could get assigned there. Haha. Anyways, work has been very hard. I have to assess post-operative patients in a matter of minutes and intervene as soon as possible within, of course, the scope of my job description. Nakakapagod. By the way, I work for 12 hours a day so one could only imagine the state of my body after work. Haaay.

The Pinoy community here in Egypt is, as always, very pleasant. Everyone knows everyone. Not to mention that gossip's like tea here. Haha. Plus, whoever cooks "Sinigang" or "Nilagang Baka" is always a winner. I always get myself invited for dinner and it's always pleasing to feast on free Filipino Food. Yummy! Overall, it feels as if I never left the Philippines.

Touristic spots will have to wait. I plan to start my official Egyptian Escapade by the 2nd quarter of next year due to financial constraints. Plus, I direly need a decent camera to capture every detail. Haha. I certainly hope that I have enough money by that time for the expected expenses. Yikes!

Lovelife?! Errr. That's my biggest secret EVER. Haha. :)

There. I can't think straight right now due to the uncertainty of my laundry's state, not to mention the unpleasant status of the internet connection here. Haha. :p

Until next time, then, whenever that'll be.
