- Finish nursing school. Hi, all~ it’s been a minute.
- Coffee and a prayer.
I’m still getting used to not seeing Lola Aida whenever we go to my Tita’s house. She became such a huge part of our lives, and now she’s just gone.
3 notesAs I threw my phone aside and buried my head underneath my pillow, I heard a gentle pitter-patter at my window. Slowly the fog of umbrage that had swept over me began to dissipate. Like He has done many times before, He washed me clean of my anger and laid me to rest. Thank You for the rain; thank You for the peace of mind. I forget that even heroes have the right to bleed, and there’s no need to be angry at that.
0 notesI think I need a vacation to rest from having a vacation.
0 notesHe’s got a room set aside that he refers to as my room should I ever move back here to Reno. Beyond my window lie the foothills, glimmering with street lamps and intermittent pairs of headlights winding around the mountain bend. The stars are bright, the night is silent, and I’ve realized that this bed is entirely too large for me to be sleeping alone in.
2 notesChina and North Korea, you’ve been put on notice.
DARPA, get to work on that Reagan Death Star.
Special Ops, you will now be renamed the Superman Division.
Ground forces, come home and chill out for a bit.
Kim Jong-Un, your threats aren’t worthy of being broadcasted on American media, but we’ll restructure our defense spending and strategy in response to your lunacy.
President Obama, work that conference. Own that Pentagon room.
Stewart & Colbert, have fun tonight. :]

At Christmas Mass I knelt down to say a prayer after having received Communion. It was the first time in quite awhile that I bluntly asked something of Him; I asked for a sign of where He wanted me to do His work. I asked Him to let me know where I’m supposed to go. Do I stay in San Diego, or do I make the move back to Reno?
Tonight, I received an e-mail notifying me of my placement in an externship at Sharp Chula Vista. It’s the same hospital that I have my leadership rotation at, and I spent my med/surg rotation there, as well. Rumor has it that students in the SCV leadership rotation are favored in the shuffle of new grad applicants there. If all goes well, I might just have a job in San Diego by the end of the year, and it’s all thanks to Him. =)
Who says prayer doesn’t work?

2 notesPapa: Maswerte pa rin tayo. May bahay pa rin tayo, buhay pa rin tayo, kaya magpasalamat na lang tayo na hindi tayo nakakalimutan ng dyos.
So that’s where I get it from.
0 notes- Stare at my plane ticket to Reno.
This is actually happening. =) People don’t understand why I love Reno so much. It’s not because it’s where I went to college. It’s not the abundance of things to do in town (was that sarcasm?). It’s not even about all of the friends I left behind. Reno remains a remarkable respite for retreat because it’s where I first felt at home, the only place where I’ve ever truly felt at home. It’s where I feel centered, where I feel like I belong. I still can’t seem to find that feeling out in San Diego, and I’ve never felt it here in Las Vegas. J once said, “All you need is an anchor, a reason to stay in one place. You’ve never had reason to stick around, but when you find one or if someone gives you one, I’m sure you’ll finally be happy.”
Where in the world is this alleged anchor of mine??
2 notesYou never know what struggles hide behind a person’s smile, what pain lives within their laugh.
3 notesHonestly, I just really like talking to her. I love our conversations because they’re so natural, and because she migrated here from the Philippines, I get to be my real self. She understands the struggle trying to combine an old-fashioned Filipino upbringing with the modern day American life that most of our classmates live. She gets me, and that’s all I can ever ask for in a friend. It’s taken quite a long time to finally meet someone I can easily relate to. Sure, it’s entirely possible that I may develop some feelings towards her one day. If we keep talking as often as we currently are, I’m sure that one of us will develop feelings for the other, but for now, I just really want to be friends with her, really good friends.
0 notesWords can create or destroy a bond between two people. They can either build a person up or tear them down. Words have the ability to travel between people and the power to transform within them. They take on lives of their own while affecting the lives of others. Words can be negligible one minute and powerful the next. Words can give rise to smiles and laughter and to tears and pain. Sometimes they mean nothing and other times they mean everything. Words can be a funny thing when seriously mistaken. Hindsight may be 20/20, but reading between the lines can always be a bit 50/50.
I’m good with words except for when I’m not, and for that I’m sorry.
