Here I am again posting some pictures from my Saranagani Province adventure. What can I say? I am in love with the place. 🙂
My Davao Life
27 AprHello guys. I know it’s been months since my last blog.
I’ve been in Davao for a month now and I am working as a medical representative. It’s hard because it’s a new place and I don’t know how to speak Bisaya but I’m enjoying my stay here. And I am now in love with the city.
So here are some pictures of my life here in Davao. 🙂

UK Finds
24 AugHahhaha. Not really UK finds but these clothes are Ukay-Ukay finds(pre-loved clothes). Sorry, I just love going to Ukay Ukay and buy clothes there.
Sorry, I suck when it comes to fashion. Hahaha.
Typhoon and Other Stuff
24 Aug
Hello Mr. Sun. I’ve seen you again. I never thought I’m going to be this ecstatic knowing you’re here. Hahaha. 😀
Well, if you’re a Filipino, you know what I mean. From Monday to Wednesday, our very own country, Philippines, had a visitor named Maring. Yeah, Maring was the name of the typhoon. It was raining cats and dogs on most part of Luzon. NCR suspended classes from elementary to college and most offices are closed. Wanna know why?? Well, it’s because of the FLOOD. And guess what, even my aunt’s house here in Pasay (where I am staying) was flooded. It was knee high so we’re stuck upstairs for two whole days. Anyways, since I don’t have work, all I ever did was read books. I’m addicted to books again.
that’s me being a COMPULSIVE READER
I finished reading The Dork Diaries 1-5. I know, I am too old for that kind of stuff. But hey, I’m still a kid at heart. I love the character of Nikki. I can totally relate to her. I was one of the dorks way back in grade school and highschool. And well, until now, I’m still a dork. Like her, I was bullied by the popular girls at school.
being bullied by the popular girls. 😦
I have my own diary too. I remember, I also have a crush on one of my classmates, G. We used to hang-out and went to library after class. I just miss him. Hahaha.
Aside from the Dork Diaries, I finished reading Cloaked, Bewitching and Towering by Alex Flinn. And now, I’m halfway reading The Siren by Keira Cass. I told you I’m now a book addict/compulsive reader. Hahaha.
Aside from reading, I’m becoming obsess with make – ups. Not that I’m buying it. Well, actually, I’m planning to have my own online shop and i want to sell make ups. Hahaha. But I know, I’m not good when it comes to business. But still I want to try. Hahaha. what do you think??
Actually, the make up obsession started when I saw one of my schoolmates’ online shop. Well, she’s been in bizzzzness for almost 3 years and now, her customers are celebrities. I envy her. Hahaha. So started searching for wholesalers of make ups. Hahaha.But anyway, I still have to find another job because, our project will end this August 31.
That’s it for today, and I’m sorry for being so random today. Hahaha. 😀
Have a great day everyone.
Great Opportunity
11 AugPeople say, great opportunity comes once in a lifetime so we should grab it because once it’s gone we can never bring it back.
This morning, I received an email from someone named Susie Gho. I opened the email and imagine my surprise when I read the first sentence.
After evaluation of your resume thru online job posting, we are pleased to tell you that you were chosen for the position of a Staff Nurse (Philippine Board licensed) and/or Enrolled Nurse (unlicensed Nurse & medical allied course graduate) for St. Luke’s Hospital in Singapore.
I want to jump because of so much happiness. I read the whole email for more than 10 times to make sure I am not dreaming. They say, the employers will meet us this coming August 17 for the 2-day training. Airfare and working visa expenses are shouldered by our employer. But other expenses like the 2-day training, passport, NBI clearance and medical clearance will all come from our own pockets. The 2-day training costs 3,800php. That’s around 100 US dollars. We have to pay for training before August 15. Since I’ve got no money in my pocket, I asked help from my mother. My mom’s not sending me money anymore since I already have work. I’ve waited for her reply for more than 4 hours. I even forwarded the email to her.
6 hours later.
Finally my mom send a message. But it only breaks my heart. She doesn’t want me to go. She said that she wants me to take the Nursing Licensure Exam first. Although, I’ve already told her the deployment date will be released at the end of the year. It means I can still take the nursing board exam. She even told me, the employers will not absorb me because I’m bloody hell FAT.
As much as I’ve wanted to grab this great opportunity, I should give up on this again. Thanks to my ever supportive Mom who only thinks what’s the best for her reputation.
And thanks to her encouraging words for me. *insert SARCASM here.*
