Been so busy this past few weeks.
Been attending several job opportunities seminar.
Life’s tough.
But I’m making the best of it.
To God be the glory!
The calm before the storm is almost ending. I can sense it now. The way things had started so wrong. I hoped I wouldn’t write about this thing all over again. I wish I could continue thinking chickens and love.
So many things to be wished for.
I wish that mother come clean. I wish she’d tell us the truth. I can’t make excuses for her all the time nor understand her all the time. But I have already said to myself that I’ll deal these matters as they come…and today, I’ll cry because I felt so disappointed. I wish mother would just say NO when the situation calls for it rather than compromising by saying YES.
Perhaps I would always feel like this towards mother: DISAPPOINTED. No one has ever disappointed me so much than my mother, who I think is a compulsive liar. I don’t know why it’s so hard for her to be honest.
I was thinking of my 2007. How the hell the hours/days/months went by so fast…
January – I passed NLE
February – April -> Started training at DMSF then simultaneously started NCLEX review classes.
March – September -> Reviewed NCLEX and part time staff nurse
October – December -> Final preparation for the exam, exam then vacation.
I don’t know if I accomplished anything…
Have I?
Grey’s Anatomy got the AWESOMEST (?) soundtrack. It has really good choices of music, some unheard and underrated but all in all, the music has never disappointed me yet…from Kate Havnevik, Anna Nalick, Damien Rice…etc. I mean…wow, the musical directors are really good at it.
And, yeah…One Tree Hill too…
But when I was still in highschool I liked Dawson’s Creek soundtrack.
They are just simply AWESOME!
I fell in love with the song by the hereafter titled “Back Where I was” I like sad music…they get me in the mood…to write that is…
When I was college a sophomore, I remember falling in love with “A Walk To Remember” movie. I was never a fan of Mandy Moore but I must say she did a good job as Jamie Sullivan, I have never re-watched a certain movie like I did in ” A Walk To Remember”. I memorized the lines, and I have this friend who liked the movie as well…we would throw lines at each other. In fact, even after four years, I could still remember the lines vaguely.
Jamie: Without suffering, there’ll be no compassion.
Landon: Tell that to those who suffer.
Landon: (the ending part) But Jamie’s love…it’s like the wind, you can see it…but you can feel it.
Of course there was a huge difference between the book and the movie itself. And I loved the book better. I actually had these thoughts now because I saw my “A Walk To Remember” book and started re-reading it. It was a fun yet sad story with simplicity that touches the one who reads it. I seldom buy love stories, but A Walk To Remember is a Book To Remember.
And yeah, I ate chicken for lunch (again) :p
A first! Snow falls in Baghdad
By CHRISTOPHER CHESTER, Associated Press Writer Fri Jan 11, 8:46 AM ET
BAGHDAD – After weathering nearly five years of war, Baghdad residents thought they’d pretty much seen it all. But Friday morning, as muezzins were calling the faithful to prayer, the people here awoke to something certifiably new.

For the first time in memory, snow fell across Baghdad.
Although the white flakes quickly dissolved into gray puddles, they brought an emotion rarely expressed in this desert capital snarled by army checkpoints, divided by concrete walls and ravaged by sectarian killings — delight.
“For the first time in my life I saw a snow-rain like this falling in Baghdad,” said Mohammed Abdul-Hussein, a 63-year-old retiree from the New Baghdad area.
“When I was young, I heard from my father that such rain had fallen in the early ’40s on the outskirts of northern Baghdad,” Abdul-Hussein said, referring to snow as a type of rain. “But snow falling in Baghdad in such a magnificent scene was beyond my imagination.”
Morning temperatures uncharacteristically hovered around freezing, and the Baghdad airport was closed because of poor visibility. Snow is common in the mountainous Kurdish areas of northern Iraq, but residents of the capital and surrounding areas could remember just hail.
“I asked my mother, who is 80, whether she’d ever seen snow in Iraq before, and her answer was no,” said Fawzi Karim, a 40-year-old father of five who runs a small restaurant in Hawr Rajab, a village six miles southeast of Baghdad.
“This is so unusual, and I don’t know whether or not it’s a lesson from God,” Karim said.
Some said they’d seen snow only in movies.
Talib Haider, a 19-year-old college student, said “a friend of mine called me at 8 a.m. to wake me up and tell me that the sky is raining snow.”
“I rushed quickly to the balcony to see a very beautiful scene,” he said. “I tried to film it with my cell phone camera. This scene has really brought me joy. I called my other friends and the morning turned to be a very happy one in my life.”
An Iraqi who works for The Associated Press said he woke his wife and children shortly after 7 a.m. to “have a look at this strange thing.” He then called his brother and sister and found them awake, also watching the “cotton-like snow drops covering the trees.”
For a couple of hours anyway, a city where mortar shells routinely zoom across to the Green Zone became united as one big White Zone. As of late afternoon, there were no reports of violence. The snow showed no favoritism as it fell faintly on neighborhoods Shiite and Sunni alike, and (with apologies to James Joyce) upon all the living and the dead.
I passed my application at DDH today. I’m crossiing my fingers. Hopefully, I’ll be employed by the end of the training…so must work hard!
I met with Elena today and talked about what’s going on in our somewhat monotonous lives. I missed this girl soooo much!
I’m still thinking of chicken….(just shoot me) anyway, I ate chicken for lunch. Chicken is l♥ve so, let’s all eat lots of chicken and spread the love…err…the chicken love I mean. :p
I’m thinking random things today…and it seems my brain is getting over active.
okay. I’m getting lamer.
I’m thinking of chicken. CHICKEN IS LUUUURRVVEEE!!!!
Anyway, I will apply in DDH today, I have called their nursing service department. They say, they are still accepting trainees…so, I’m crossing my fingers on that. Hopefully, it won’t interfere with my exam schedule which will either be on the 14th or 16th of February. Last time I applied at DDH, my schedule got so messed up and I ended up turning down their acceptance.
I should really be arranging my stuff right now, like my TOR, diploma, certificate and such…oh, well…a few minutes in the net would not hurt, won’t it?
Let’s review on how I slept last night…hhhmmm…I went to bed at around 11:00 PM, then woke up today at around 8:30 AM.
then after lunch…
I slept from 12:15 PM until 4:00 PM. And to think I was not even sleep deprived last night.
Sleeping is the best!
I am L♥ving life and Living it.
I Thank the Lord for the good times who made me appreciate the people around me. And I also thank Him for the not-so-good times, where I learned to be firm, faithful and understanding.
