I PASS THE BOARDS!!!!!!!!!

September 18, 2008

I have learned that I passed the NCLEX RN Licensure Exam

here in Texas!!!!!!!!!!! That makes me an official Registered Nurse!!!

Last August 06, 2008 I took the exam...

The computer died at 75 items...

I was pretty sure that I had no clue with most of

the questions I have answered from the exam, and with that

I never expected to pass the test..

They said you can find out the result online or by phone

after 2 days of taking the test with a minimal fee...

Knowing that i failed, i never bothered to call or surf it online...

I have been waiting for the test results be mailed to me for free..

for a month long of wait, no mail came...

I want to stop the agony of waiting so I did paid the minimal fee

of $7.95.... and to my surprise!!!

I have been sulking for a month for a reason that is not true!!!!

Miracles can move mountains!!!!!!!!!

Thank GOD!! I pass the test!

Im a RN now! yippppppeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

my masterpiece...

" my favorite place in the apartment..."

by grace thompson

plane brown wood.. our mini office...

what i have in mind is...

change the color of the desk to match the file cabinet...

get a black computer chair...

put up a bookshelf...

some nice area rug and throw pillows...

flowers near the window or on the windowsil..

and a good color curtain that matches a little bit of everything in the living room....

planning stage...
after painting the desk...
after putting it all together...

white bookshelf is bought from craigslist... sold to us for 15$..

looks brand new... in walmart, that will cost 24$...

the throw pillow is made from... old regular pillow cut into two... stuffed it

inside the pillow case i brought from the Philippines (costs 2$)...

if you buy throw pillows in the market, it will cost you 7$ each the least...

hubby's old black trunk used as luggage in the army is turned into a mini chair

covered with an Old MALONG i brought from the Philppines...

lounging in our new apartment...

Century Park Hotel - Lobby Pics

the atrium lounge....

thats the name of the very elegant, relaxing yet pricy lounge in

Century Park Hotel Manila...

it was the last day of our stay when we decided to

take advantage of the free complimentary drinks

the hotel have given us upon checking in...

the waitress said that we can avail of the house beers, juices or colas for free...

hmmm... knowing this, we asked the lady the menu...

we werent really impressed with the house

beers at first when we heard her say it... but surprisingly,

they have good selections of beers,

not just local beers for a change, but they got CooRs too..

my husband was delighted to see some familiar names in the list,

at least the free drinks arent that bad at all....

we ended up using the 2 complimentary stubs for COoRs

and we ordered an extra glass of Martini...

and that was our last night exploring the hotel...

got to get ready for an early flight the next day...

so sad.. but we have to part ways one last time...

Century Park Hotel - Pool Side Pics

the poolside...

what can i say... better than usual...

pretty decent pools they have there!

they have this lap pool, a jacuzzi, and an oval shaped huge pool...

whatever you are in the mood for,

when talking about taking a dip! they have it...

sucks we havent got the chance to go down there

and check out the place 'til the afternoon we

have to check out the next morning...

i told you so babe...

Post Holidays Celebration...

Not being able to spend thanksgiving, christmas, new years and Valentines Day with my husband, we made this short trip the "making up" trip for all the missed holidays of not being together...we ate a lot to celebrate thanksgiving, we had a Santa Hat and gifts way overdue for christmas celebration, we got wine to celebrate the new years, we've got cakes to celebrate for birthdays..... and this day is one HUGE making up with the V-DAY!!! and Vday means.... sweets candies roses and tons of red things.... sucks forgot to take pictures of the funny musical flower with mozart playing (hahahaha ("p) and the gorilla stuff toy with boxing gloves on it (i call him pacqiuao), and the dove rose chocolate...

How was your Valentines Day? i must say... it's always better late than never... when you're far apart from your love-one, you dont have a choice but be creative on how to spend special days even apart, like the best special day being physically together...

Mall of Asia Pics - February 26, 2008

ssshhh...my hubby taught everything batman knows...

lois lane under cover...
the colorful fountain by the bay...
cosmopolitan by pier one! must try!!!!!!!
love it!!!

lights galore along the bay!!
the highest bench ever... he had to lift me up to sit where i am seated...
catching the yellow pink light....
the sharks by the bay...
thirsty anyone????

if you just want to have a walk, a drink or just dine in place where you can

just sit down and simply talk... try mall of asia, san miguel by the bay...

good for families, lovers, friends and just merely acquaintances...

no huge budget needed... just a good company to hang out with..

live bands are everywhere... bars and resto's too... very good place to relax

after a day of feet exhausting roaming at the mall...
