This is awkward, Awkward.



So I have been watching the series, Awkward last night and was able to finish the entire first season. I can't say that I can relate to the story line especially on the love story but uhm I enjoyed seeing what I missed in high school or college, even. The characters are very colorful, interesting, intriguing and hilarious as well. My favorites so far are Valerie and Tamara, because I just love their "craziness". On the other hand, I find Matty very complicated and difficult to decipher. I wanted to kick his face throughout the season because of what he's doing to Jenna. No one wants to be someone's dirty little secret, and I am very proud of Jenna when she called him off at the end of the first season and finally accepted Jake's feelings. Ugh!! Jake Rosati~ He's just adorable and makes me flush and all giddy when he's with Jenna, I can tell that he really likes her. Too bad, fictional characters are fictional and can never come alive.

First Job of the New Nurse

I finally found a job! It's called the OCA-NARS (Outreach Community Advocate Nurses Assigned in Rural Service), which means that I will be doing community nursing for the next 6 months. Am I excited? Yes of course! Now that I would be earning money all by myself, I can buy all of the things that I want and I can also save. 

What is more exciting is that I get to meet lots of new people. Since last week, we have been undergoing a training which would equip us with skills and knowledge for our community service. I must say that I am a bit nervous as well because we were told that we would be individually assigned to a specific health center and we should work as the lone community nurse of that barangay. I never worked alone before, considering that we were always in groups when I was still a nursing student. This would be a great challenge that I am willing to take and I hope that things would work out just fine.

Since Philippines is a tropical country, it is more or less always sunny and hot. I am not happy about that certain fact because I get tanned very fast. It only takes 15 minutes of sun exposure before I turn orange and there's nothing I can do about it. Guess I'll just have to wear sunscreen with a high SPF level and sport my white Hard Rock Cafe cap while I do my community duty. Wish me luck!

The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides



You know what happens after a trip from the book store. I, more or less, would walk out with a book in my hand. Luckily I was able to find Eugenides' novel, The Virgin Suicides, on one of the book shelves. This is a familiar title because I already have an e-book copy of this novel.

The story unfolds around the Lisbon sisters' suicides, narrated by a group of teenage boys. 

I have yet to discover how their lives go but I am pretty optimistic that this book would never fail to impress me.
