oh, i just learned this: too much smiling is unprofessional. that is so bad news for me coz everytime i feel nervous, i smile....... way too much. and then my brain cells just jump up and down. apparently, my english is terrible. as ms. cheng put it, i ".. have good ideas. .. have a very good command in english but not organized nor confident." right now, i badly wish there was 911 for english. obviously, i need help.

if there's any good the controversy has brought, it's when people ask where i took up nusring, they no longer ask "Ano/San yun?" so shallow, i know. ahh, here's something sensible: go get some rest. have a break from everything chaotic. i think i better do just that... shout out: thanks to dr. apostol for my skin. still not one hundred percent zit-free but already soft and smooth.

so did i get lucky? let me tell you a long story. it was already getting late that night. we were on our way to the block when my phone rang. it was my aunt on the other line letting me know she's holding the letter the entire family has been waiting for. eligibility letter. it was a letter from the california board of nursing certifying that the board found me eligible to take the nclex-rn. i was like, "No way!" coz i have been following up my application every now and then and all i got every time was an instruction to wait coz i graduated outside US and the evaluation from foreign applicants, just to see if one is eligible or not, usually takes 6 months or more. so they said i had to wait for at least until january. with my request, my aunt ripped the envelope and read the letter out loud just to be sure it was really an eligibility letter and mine. and it was. 100%. initially, i wanted to be pissed off coz i no longer wanted to worry about exams whatsoever but reality woke me up. why should i feel bad about an answered prayer? i realized there is no point thinking that the nclex-rn as an examination that would measure my intelligence and capabilities. for the first time in my life, i viewed an exam as an oppotunity for me that would open even more and greater opportunities. remember why i even left the philippines? i ran away bacause i knew that if i stayed a little longer, i would have had to take the local nursing licensure exam. and i didnt want that. i was afraid id fail. running away. im so good at it that sometimes it makes me nauseated. i figured it has got to stop. i had to move forward. i have to. i woke up early the next day, registered online and picked a test date. the funny thing was i already packed all my books and study materials whatsoever. so i had to dig through the underbed boxes for my books again. i also had to stay away from blogspot, friendster and myspace. i stopped playing harvest moon on ds. cried from time to time. and prayed a lot. days passed until december 8 came. it was THE day. immediately after i entered my answer for item number 80, the computer automatically shut off. right there and then, i wanted to cry out loud. why did it have to shut off when we all know the computer could give me as much as 265 items? why did it have to shut off when i barely had answers i was sure of? whatever the answer was, that was it for me. done. i walked out the premises and man, i was just floating! december 11. a little bit before lunch time, i guess. the plane touched down. i felt a tear on my cheeks. i was thinking of the promise i made to my father. i swore to him id be ready by december. i told him when december arrives, i will take an exam and be ready by then. it was painful that i had to go home without any good news. it was hurtful that maybe i wasnt able to keep my promise. no one knows. but i felt the pain and the anxiety. every thing was uncertain since we didnt know the results yet. but every day, i was just scared and ashamed that i might disappoint my father. and christmas was just around the corner so it sucked big time, right? morning of december 24, my aunt called up my dad. he passed the phone to me. i knew it was going to be about the state board. uhm.. did i get lucky? you guess. here: kristine joi c. bunoan, r.n., b.s.n. get it? yes, i got lucky, silly. :) dont you know prayers can move mountains?! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU. ps. apologies to all those who visited this site only to find a blog in coma. respi - saw you amd your bro in greenhills the weekend before christmas i think. me and my bro were super sabogtoo kaya hindi na kita binati. you looked sabog too. hehe. how come i cant get through your xanga? what are you using now, anyway? kai - sorry i was MIA when you visited west coast. im in the philippines right now. as ive promised my dad, i spent the holidays with him and my brother. hey, dont know if its the internet connection or my pc but i just couldnt open your blogsite... boohoo.

because if you choose silence, people take advantage of you.
because if you dont speak, they will tell lies. because if you dont care and simply live life, they make up stories. because if you are loved, others will bring you down.
sometimes, you need a place you can call your own. where all you see and hear is the truth. a place where you see colors instead of just black&white. a happy place. home.
