Career Change

It was a pretty interesting day for me today. In two weeks, I should be going back to school but something just came up and I am probably moving to another school (Lady of the Lake) of this semester. I will be processing my papers including the transfer of my scholarship by next week. "Lady of the Lake" is supposed to be a better school for my nursing field. This is where I was recommended to go. I got an offer to be in a military air force nurse. By October, I will be taking an exam, then go for my physical fitness, so on, and so forth. Today was a new start for me to make another big decision in my life. I am still confused and I'm going to be doing a lot of thinking until December. They have to know before January of next year, so they could start setting me up for my semester being in the air force. I really got excited about this. If I decide to pursue this, in front of me are huge opportunities. They will pay my tuition, books, gas expenses, and almost everything that I need. And the package of the whole thing is that I get a work out almost every day which I really like to do. Then, when I get finish, I get to travel around the world. And also, I can learn on how to fly a plane, and I get to go to the LSU - (known as the "Harvard in the South") for my classes and a lot more. Of course, I still have to undergo some tough trainings and I don't know how I am going to do with that. But they told me not to worry about it. I will be fine. I already had a meeting with the captain of the air force today and he said, I should have no problem getting into it. He even added, “you don't have to look tough, but you will be built tough". He said: main thing they need are "critical thinkers". Can you believe? Me? A smart thinker? he he...we will see about that. I will also be tested on how I will react on different situations under pressure. If I pass it, this might be the right road for me.

Anyway, regardless of what my decision will be on this whole thing. I am going to stay put and finish my semesters needed to be a full pledge nurse, and on the side of it, I will probably be adding up semesters for the air force. Just in case I decide to turn my back on it. I won't lose anything. I also think that it's time to seek guidance to the Lord. I got all kinds of opportunities laid in front of me. It's just a matter of making the right choice.

DJ and Nath



Aren't they cute? Alright! But they can be a pain in the butt too. Babysitting this two in the same house is a chaos. We consider it the toughest job of all. They are worse than a dog and a cat. If they are together, fighting never fails because whatever stuff the other one got, the other wants it too. They are both brave. Nobody owes anything and they both retaliate. They won't stop till they get even with each other. I was even thinking of getting them a pair of boxing gloves. Whoever watches this two will surely be stress out. I experienced it myself and it wasn't easy. I even decided, "That’s it"! No more kids for me. he he he!

My sister, mommy, and I had given up to put this two in the same place. We finally got them separated. If my sister is at work, her mother-in law watches DJ and if I am at work mommy watches Nathaniel or sometimes my sister does if mommy is sick. I am so glad I got my mom and sister with me. They are a lot of help. Only right now, my mom is very sick her illness finally taking a toll of her. Sis and I are the one taking turns taking care of mommy. We might need a 24 hrs. caretaker for her very soon but I refused to put her in the nursing home though. Lote (my sister) and I are trying to do what's best for mommy. We've decided to just petition one brother this year to temporarily take care of her while we both work and I am still finishing school. I don't know how we will be able to manage it again this year but I believe we can get through it, as long as we both work as a team.

Anyway, these two boys are very sweet in nature. They just got the AMORO genes of being a fighter. They just now starting to get along a little better but they still fight when something arise. I hope they can be best friends when they grow up. I know they have too, because they live next to each other. They don't really have much of a choice. My sister and DJ are going to live within my property. I just wish she don't get remarried (right now, going through divorce) and move to another place. I will be sad. I liked to have all of my family in my sight so we can look out for each other. It's what I am trying to do in the future. I already got the land I needed more than enough to occupy them. And I know, it is still a far way to go because it takes time and money to get the rest of them. There are three in my family that is going to be a nurse that includes me. It's what I am hanging on to fulfill this goal. I just hope and pray that nobody is going to go astray. So, we can work all together as a team.

Had a long day....

I really had a long stressful day today. I got into an argument with the person I work with. I can't believe I was able to say some words that I should not be saying. I mean saying curse words. Ohhhhhh.... It feels good though! Really good! That I was able to strike back in an instant. I used to be the calm and quiet type of the person but not anymore. I guess I just had enough of her crap.

Anyhow, I still have some good kind of day because my new laptop came in today and I like it a lot. I now have 3 laptops. I know that's just too much. I have an obsession problem when it comes to computers. Nothing's wrong with my 2 laptops. Both of them are fairly new. I already had given away the other one to my sister though and I am still thinking what to do with the other. I don't want to get rid of it yet because I still have some important files left with it. I might just have to keep it in case I miss how comfortable it is to use a wide screen also.

I've decided to buy a new one because I think I need it in school. Laptop is something that I got to have all the time. I don't like the older ones because they are heavy for me. It weighs about 7-8 lbs. while with my new one; it only weighs 2lbs. -such a big difference! It is only 10 inches wide and I can even just put it in my purse. It is very handy. With me carrying thick books for my class, I definitely need to invest another that is lighter to lessen my load. It should end my complaints how my back is killing me due to carrying heavy stuff. So, I'm happy now! I finally got what I wanted. Spoiled! he he! In fairness, I work hard to get it!

My Little Engineer

Here's my 3 year old son. He is fond of building all kinds of stuff out of Lego lately. It's the hobby he does every day. Believe me; he can spend all day long just building all kinds of things. And what amazes us is that he built stuff that came from his own ideas such as a bridge and a house. He is working on some more constructions. We are so glad with the talent he got because it is a sign of a higher intelligence. Perhaps, he'll be a good engineer someday when he grows up. Well, only time will tell.
