Board Exam Butterflies

One more sleep and it’s the day that all nursing graduates have been looking forward to. Tomorrow is the first day of The Philippine Nurse Licensure Exam. Well, knowing that its not my first time, I’m done with the so called “first time crisis”. But this time it’s kind of different. Maybe because I have been studying a lot; and It’s the first time that I’m actually doing my best for the exam. And like I said before, I want to pass this time.

I’ve got butterflies on my tummy. It’s not all bad because I can handle it unlike the first time. Yes I do get nervous if I really think about it but it’s nothing I couldn’t handle. I’m just relaxing myself and chillin’ in my room listening to pop music. What’s funny is when I went through my nursing uniforms for tomorrow because we are required to wear our uniform, all of them were quite huge for me already. I can’t believe I was that fat back then. Gosh! When I tried them on, I couldn’t figure out what to pick. So I picked one base on its color, not the size. LOL. I’ll be wearing my yellow top nursing uniform matched with white pants and white shoes. Isn’t that cute? I’ll just wear a sweater too to cover up how big the uniform is. LOL. I’ll look like a hanger if I don’t wear one.

I’m excited and a bit nervous but I’m not anxiuos. Well, at least not anymore or at least I know I’m not I guess. Anyway, so good luck to me. Good luck to all of us who will be taking the exam for two days. I’m praying that God will give me my license this time; if He thinks it’s the right time. Like I said, I’ve resolve and gave everything I have to God and I leave the results up to Him. I’m taking the exam for His glory, for His honor (Gosh I’m about to cry LOL) … Everything I do now is for the honor and glory of God! That’s the one thing that I didn’t have before because no matter what I do, I end up losing. I’m not all out expecting for God to do me the miracle of passing. If its His will, then it will be done! All I know is if I pass, I will praise Him, and if I don’t pass, I will still praise Him! I would still love Him and honor Him even in defeat because I know that everything I do is for His glory. So this is it! With God’s guidance, I know I can make it. I don’t know if I have prepared my field enough to receive the rain. Now it’s up to God.

XOXO     

ProofReading UPDATE: I’m good, she’s bad!

I thought my boss got me to do proofreading to let her figure out if I’m good at it or not. Well, I thought wrong. I was flattered to know that she made me proofread the articles her main writer wrote because she trust me with my english expertise. Whappak! “Haba ng hair ko dai!”

She told me that she was doubtful about her main writer’s writing skills because she finds them worse. Well, we have the same conclusion. It was bad! As what I’ve said in my previous post “How could articles like those even exist?” It was an honest review of mine when I said that. And now, knowing that the proofreading I did was to assess someones’ writing skills, the articles were really annoying; the worst articles I have ever encountered in my life so far.

I’m not saying that I myself is really good in writing or in english for that matter, but those were really bad. My 13 year old neice could even do better than her. Who’s her? Well, it’s my boss’ main writer. She’s so bad at writing. I’m sorry boss but you need to get yourself a new main writer. I have recommended Biboy to her. My boss calls her Lao. LOL. Funny! Anyway, Biboy is my long time neighbor and batchmate in high school. I think he can be good at the position. 

So that has been my ProofReading life for today! Like I always say to my Boss: Have a great day ahead of you! Cheers! LOL That’s manang Jing2x’s boss!

ProofReading

Today, i had the chance to do proofreading on 45 articles. My boss was confident enough to let me proofread some articles that are of low quality; in need for typo and grammar corrections. When she informed me about it last night, I was excited but anxious at the same time. I’ve never done proofreading before or not as a job so to speak. 

What is ProofReading? ProofReading is measuring an article’s relevance and competency in terms of its content. Content in a sense where you look into its grammar, sentence construction, use of words, word count, sensibility, impact, typographical set up, and its structure as a whole.

I really thought it was easy at first but being on the actual scene was a whole different story. Most of the articles I have proofread were really worst especially the grammar. Gosh! How can an article like those even exists?! Considering it’s my first time, I really did have a hard time. My boss told me that the articles are of low quality so don’t attempt to rewrite them, just do some corrections when you find typo and grammar errors. But what if the whole article is the error itself? I still couldn’t figure out the thin line between rewriting and correcting when the whole article is the error. But then again I was warned that the articles are of low quality.

Errrr! Confusing! Manang Jing2x! Help! LOL. 

I just hope I did it right. There were articles with less errors though; which I haven’t done much corrections to. Then now I’m all not excited anymore because I’m not satisfied with the outcome, to be honest. Now, I’m more anxious. If given a chance to do the ProofReading all over again, I’d do it!

XOXO

ChuvaLife UPDATE: He’s Married!

Lalaine, one of my gay friends whom I really treasure considering the fact that I’ve known him since I was a kid, is married.

Who would have thought that an extremely out loud I’m Gay super model body Melanie Marquez kinda’ gay like Lalaine would get married to a woman whom I know he loves so dearly and happy to be with. They both have exchanged their vows before God last 21st of September 2009. I was invited but didn’t really have the chance because of my review and work at the same time. But nevertheless, my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes I offer them with prayers and support.

Anyway, Lalaine just arrived from manila today and suprisingly, he paid me a visit this afternoon. He told me what happened before and after his wedding. Not to mention, that our friend Achoo was the wedding planner, coordinator, madame all in one! Lalaine told me that there were instances that almost brought him to tears before the wedding day. Fires were started, but with Achoo’s power, it was turned off by sprinkling waters he has generated. And the rest is history. Kuyaw!

I too wants to be married someday. But to the man I love the most. Well, by now I think you know who he is. By that time, I’ll be wearing my long white elegant cleavage-showing wedding dress as I will walk down the Isle wearing O’ Mei’ Su on my face. Wouldn’t that be grand? Sigh!

But until then, I have to content myself with my long hair and pretty face. LOL.   

XOXO
