Words
"Words kill, words give life; they're posion or fruit--you choose." -Proverbs 18:21
Words are powerful. They heal or break. It's amazing how many words have been created from an alphabet of 26 letters. It totally blows me away. Some of these words very blessful, others downright curseful. Now that i think about it, life is all about letters,letters that make up words. Same way there's the "Numb3rs" t.v. series me thinks they should start one called "Letters".
What i say to anyone sometimes really bothers me. I always strive to say words that uplift as opposed to the opposite. Now i'm no angel or saint not even close but i don't find harm in trying. I always want to try, try to better best. In a multitude of words there lacketh no lie. Usually am a quiet person unless am overly comfortable with you, only then do i run mouth.
Too many a time someone has said words that have broken me, broken my spirit, torn me apart, thrown me off, and even left me lost and confused. Countless occassions someone has said very blessing words to me and i've felt uplifted. I too have said both mean and good words to others.
As I grow up each day i realise just how powerful words are. Whether written or said, words remain words. Words cannot be taken back. Once they leave the mouth or are put down it's hard to take them back or otherwise justify them. From what is abundant in the heart speaketh the mouth. I'm the words I speak. Words that come forth from the mouth is what is in the heart. Be it love or hatred.
I agree sometimes we get caught up in the heat of things and say things we wouldn't be caught dead saying or say words we don't intend to or don't mean. However, we've to learn to reflect and think ahead. Think what the effect and aftermath of the words about to be uttered or written. Are they positive or negative? do they words build or corrupt?
All this lies in the power of the tongue. Which we very much have control over.
I pray, hope and trust God to help me best and refine how i use words that leave my mouth, words i write and even what kind of words they are. Again I discern self-control.

Suspense, anxiety & patience
So I sat the medical pharmacology exam last night. How was it? I don't know? how did i feel about it, after it? i'm confused. I felt ok, so i'm done with it can i now have my grade ? yes that's how i excatly felt but almost 24hrs after the exam no grades yet. I didn't expect them out so soon because i understand it's alot of work for her.
But the suspense is killing me. Literally killing me. Can't sleep killing me. Can't think straight killing me. Can't think about anything else besides math killing me. I want to know so bad.
Yesterday morning when i did my personal bible study/quiet time i read that patience is a fruit of the holyspirit. No it's not a gift as i always thought. You see i used to think it had to be a gift. Because a gift is something given to some people, not all the people. You could get a gift and I get no gift. So I always thought ok so patience is a virtue i lack so bad but hey it's a gift right? so someone else has it and i don't but there's gotta be a gift i have to make up for lacking patience you know? yes that's how self-convincing my thinking was. Until I read that and realised, oops! there you go...patience is actually a fruit, so we can all get it or is it we already have it in us, i have it in me, in untapped potential. I realised i need to tap mine so bad ASAP.
So why am i talking about patience? because this waiting to see how i did on my med exam is all about patience. Worrying won't get that score to my inbox any faster and so i need to get a grip of my life. That's what everyone in my life, well those people who count in my life, have been telling me. To not worry, to wait. But here i was thinking this people don't get it, this is big, i gotta know like now. Seriously, i've been wanting to know since yesternight but do i now know? no, i gotta kick back and wait. Thank you God for this revelation. Some things are hard to accept but i've to let God work in my life.
I don't think i failed the exam. Failed as in got below 90%. I trust God i aced it. I believe i did.
From now on i discern patience in all i do, think, and who i am.
Something really nice happened last night. My clinicals white tennis shoes came in the mail. Yaay! No I didn't order them, i mean like i didn't get them for me, my bestfriend did, thanks dude! You rock my world so much. I love you. Hugs and kisses. My moms called and we talked for like an hour, this got me top world as always. Thanks world's best woman. I love you!
Oh my shoes are pink and white. I cannot wait to get my scrubs. Happy, happy, joy, joy :)
I'll be back to post when i get the score.

Happy Monday
Monday's here. The day of the big exam. It's tonight, every minute that ticks brings it closer and closer. Do I feel ready? honestly as ready as i'll ever get. Who am i kidding? i'm never ready for exams. I've studied alright but there's that feeling of unsurity of reading everything.
Right now all i know is that i've a bad headache and my sinus is at its worst. Bravo it just had to pick today :(
The weekend was fruitful. Actually short with so much needing to be done in so little time. I got my hair done, at least i don't have to think about it in the near future. I also did my laundry, i had like a mountain of dirty clothes, cleaned my room up and out. Reviewed school work and then it was Monday morning,no kidding.
I'm placing all my hope, trust and believe in God. He has promised to make me tend upward(be the head) not downward(tail). I wholly and fully trust Him to help me excel in my med exam brilliantly. I'm also praying for all my classmates that God help each of us get by it.
On a different note: I'm learning to discipline myself to be a better person, to have more self-control. So help me God.
God luck to me. When i get the exam back I'll come back record my testimony/miracle/prayer-answered.
Go me!

MedPharm Exam
I got an 80% in the saturday quiz. Not too bad, but gotta pull up my socks in the next exam. Help me God.
It's wednesday, mid-week, yaay. It's been a not so good week, well so far. My allergies have been acting up. My migraine is on, my sinus and tonsils are all on some sort of conspiracy to irritate me. It's so irritating to have a blocked nose and sore throat in this heat. Makes me go crazy, ugh. I've taken allergy pills and so much motrin am sure i got blood in motrin(no pun-intended) LOL.
When I woke up today, my whole body was itching. I've a rash-break, my whole body is breaking, i think i overdosed on the allergy med. I'm scratching each part of my booty and trust me it's not funny. I hope i feel better soon. I took a vow to not drink any cold bevs today unless of course its water and so far i'm doing good :)
It's also been a crazy week because the Medical Pharm Exam is up in a week. I've attempted every single problem in the blue book and graciously God has helped me solve each. I also finally read the chap 34 of the PP book which is the chapter on the Med Pharm exam. I couldn't afford to buy the book so I borrowed one of my classmate's yesterday during lab and fine-read the chapter and made flashcards, i also got a summary of the same chapter on e-mail from one of my classmates, so just in case i missed something i kinda have back-up. I'll bring the flash cards with me on the bus and trolley and scheme thru them. I also memorised the conversions table.
I'm now commiting the work of my hands to God and wholly trusting Him to bring me thru this. I hope and pray to get a 90% on my first attempt. I know I can do this, through God who strengthens me. Go me!

Quiz & Weekend
The quiz on saturday was ok. Tricky but with time i'm sure i'll figure out how to eliminate even when at least 2 answers seems very right. Ok I'm trying to say I partly think the quiz was in tagalog. Don't ask me when I started speaking that I haven't the slightest clue LOL oh well we get it back tonight so i'll update you on how it went.
This weekend I was down in the dumps. Pretty homesick. Sometimes i don't like my life a whole bunch and this weekend was one of those times. I didn't throw pityparty-ah but i was sorry for me same difference huh? Anyhoo, I stayed home saturday, flipped channels over a zillion times. Why does t.v. suck so bad the only time i happen to be home? I could've very easily tossed mine out of the window, graetfully i live in a one-storey, so not much of tossing if you think.
Sunday I woke up still low, checked e-mail and fixed me a caffeine fix. Decided to finally start on my 'blue book' med pharm calculations. I did math upto 6pm now how geeky is that? I'm so excited for myself though because I figured out all the questions, actually i didn't God helped it's amazing. I seriously desire with all of me and all i am to live for God because without Him i'm zilch, nothing, zero. Help me to be a better person God. My Med exam is in a week's time. I need to finish up the math hopefully by this week, read the theory part of it and do some worksheets i got from one of my classmates. I can do this through Christ who strengthens me.
Go me!

Fundamentals
I should be at work but i'm home sick. I feel like i got the stomach-flu or something like that.
My Fundamentals class is coming on great. Both the lab n theory classes. Just that the theory class the prof is abit shallow, like she reads off of the text but hey i still get the knowledge so heck.
I've my first Funds theory class quiz this saturday. I need to wrap up my reading. It' s a 10-questions multiple choice quiz but i need to read like 7 chapters.
Lab class has been interesting. So far I've been checked-off on how to transfer a pt/pt restraints/pt positions/how to turn a pt/how to bath a pt/how to change an occupied bed/how to give injections(IM)-this was super interesting and finally how to insert an IV which was great but it gave me the shivers. I feel weak inserting it into a pt plus the fear of missing the vein but with time and practise i'll be great :)
My Med Pharm exam is up in 2 weeks. I'm feeling totally blonde on some of the math but i know in me is what it takes. All i need to do is take a day concentrate and do all the math in the blue book. I can do this! When am done with the blue book and reading chap 34 i'll feel good to go at least. I pray me well. I'm trusting God.
Go me! I'll be back soon, before you know it...

Lab Class
NSG 200A started out well. Got to class in time, 2 of my classmates were already there so i met them and it went really well. Met everyone else, it's 10 of us. 5 of us are from my previous lab class so that made it not much of a change. The other 4 girls are ok and a guy, great class!
The Lab Instructor(L.I.)seems pretty cool, simple and easy as a sunday morning.
We covered an entire week's workload in a few hours and still had breaks in between and watched some cds which came w/ the PP book. Before we left class we reviewed what we had learnt in our groups.
Today, 08/02, we are reviewing everything we've done so far and getting checked-off on it. Our L.I. paired us up into 2's and we go into the lab and demonstrated to her best ways to position/transfer/restraints pts. What to use where and how. The what not's. We also reviewed the Vitals Signs and did BP on each other. The rest of the stuff we demonstrated on the manequin.Interesting...
Just the fact that i'm typing this post from class should be saying something right? I'm trying to get some reading done though seeing as am done with the check-off lab assessment. I've alot to read. I'm starting to fret because I haven't gotten my books yet. Feels like i'm getting left behind, i loathe the feeling. I hope and pray to God to get them soon.Please God hear me.
Well gotta go, lunch's almost. Did i mention how famished i am? all i've had today is diet coke and water oh well...

New Month
It's a new month, August is here! I'm not sure if i should get excitedm over it or should I just watch it go by. I'm always caught up in time, lost in how fast days seem to be moving for me. On one instance its Monday the next it's Sunday, w/no rest, but still i keep going.
My NSG 200/Fundamentals of Nursing theory class started last night. I was late for class. Got there a whole one hour and half late. I was so stressing out as i rode the bus there. I've not been to that campus before and God is it far. It's like driving out of town. The bus just kept going and going. I stood up 3 times and walked over to the driver to remind him(about my stop) and sure enough it was that far because he kept telling me to seat because i still had a long way to go and you bet i did. Finally i got there, at the verge of tears, on edge and a bit overwhelmed. My 2 friends from class are really nice they saved a seat for me and signed for my stuff that was handed over before class started so i didn't have to worry about that graetfully to God for them.
Class was ok. Word has it the instructor is good. A bit slow by me but ok. The stuff we did last night was basics for nursing practices but still interesting. This class is going to be a 2month class. It's complex and intense. It's during this class we do the Medical Pharmacology Exam, we have 3 trials to pass it and score a 90%. If you fail after attempting it 3 times you're dropped from the class. I'm trusting God to excel in it. I want to be excellent so bad i'll do whatever it takes. I'll take that book everywhere with me on my bus rides until i place my finger and get brains for what it takes. I desire to know.
I'll have 2 10-question quizzes before the final and one group-presentation(worth 10points). I hope i'm able to contribute to my group and meet-up if we've to.
My NSG 200A starts today afternoon. I cannot for the life of me start to imagine what we'll be doing in the labs for a whole 8hrs, that seems like an eternity to me. I'm half-heartedly looking forward to it. It's different people. Everyone from my previous lab is now in a different lab, makes me sad. But change they say is good so i'm trying to stay positive here, i'm trusting, praying and and hoping to God that i'm able to make new friends. Knowing someone makes class better you know what i mean? Not like it's a whole lot of a big deal but there's some difference. I know i'm not the most social person there is and that doesn't help but hey i want to feel like i'm a part of the class.
I'll be back to let you know how it goes. In the meantime pray me well.
Go me!

I stood up 3 times and walked over to the driver to remind him(about my stop) and sure enough it was that far because he kept telling me to seat because i still had a long way to go and you bet i did. Finally i got there, at the verge of tears, on edge and a bit overwhelmed. My 2 friends from class are really nice they saved a seat for me and signed for my stuff that was handed over before class started so i didn't have to worry about that graetfully to God for them.
Class was ok. Word has it the instructor is good. A bit slow by me but ok. The stuff we did last night was basics for nursing practices but still interesting. This class is going to be a 2month class. It's complex and intense. It's during this class we do the Medical Pharmacology Exam, we have 3 trials to pass it and score a 90%. If you fail after attempting it 3 times you're dropped from the class. I'm trusting God to excel in it. I want to be excellent so bad i'll do whatever it takes. I'll take that book everywhere with me on my bus rides until i place my finger and get brains for what it takes. I desire to know.
I'll have 2 10-question quizzes before the final and one group-presentation(worth 10points). I hope i'm able to contribute to my group and meet-up if we've to.
My NSG 200A starts today afternoon. I cannot for the life of me start to imagine what we'll be doing in the labs for a whole 8hrs, that seems like an eternity to me. I'm half-heartedly looking forward to it. It's different people. Everyone from my previous lab is now in a different lab, makes me sad. But change they say is good so i'm trying to stay positive here, i'm trusting, praying and and hoping to God that i'm able to make new friends. Knowing someone makes class better you know what i mean? Not like it's a whole lot of a big deal but there's some difference. I know i'm not the most social person there is and that doesn't help but hey i want to feel like i'm a part of the class.
I'll be back to let you know how it goes. In the meantime pray me well.
Go me!
