It's been a year since I made a LIFE LATELY. I kind of miss sharing something personal here on my blog. I miss the days where I write about what happened in my life - the ups and downs without people judging the REAL YOU. I miss those days where I can freely post, rant or just say what I want share. But again, what we post online is merely a portion of who we really are.
Things have changed since the COVID PANDEMIC came in. The way of life changed not only in the Philippines but in the whole world. Most needed to stay at home to prevent the spread of virus. It was hard adjustment for all of us. It's been a year and when we thought this year will be better (or so I thought), it is sadly getting worst, AGAIN.
BYE COMPANY NURSE. HELLO PSYCHIATRIC NURSE.
I've always wanted to work at a Psychiatric hospital and I've been applying for over the years. I finally landed a nurse job at a government mental facility here in the Philippines and yes, it is a dream come true for me. This pandemic opened up a new job for me after being a company nurse for more than 6 years.
Being back at the hospital is a nostalgic feeling for me. I've trained there before (in 2013) and adjusting at work isn't that difficult for me. Although I can say that a lot of things have changed. It is different now that I am working as a Staff Nurse not a trainee. There is this pressure and big responsibility behind my back since I already trained and have been exposed there for being a trainee for a year. The days, weeks and months of adjustment are tiring but challenging. Now I can say that I have adjusted well enough and yes, I am very much enjoying my work (plus the salary! :))
PANDEMIC NEW NORMAL LIFE.
With rise of Covid cases again here in the Philippines, a new ECQ protocol was implemented again. Only essentials are opened, no dine in, less malls are open and now we are back to having curfew as early as 6pm until 5am. As front liners, we are exempted from this. Currently, I am working during the morning shift until 7 in the evening and good thing, me and my boyfriend have the same shift. So thankful for this because at 7pm, now there are less cars outside meaning it'll be so hard and unsafe for me to get home at that time.
No leisure travel again and no going to the malls (at least to run errands or for groceries only). For the mean time, this curfew and following the protocols are the BEST thing we can do for now. Still hoping for ways to fight this virus. Not expecting this will end anytime soon but praying for us to be safe until this ends.
HELLO 32!
Can't believe that I am now not part of the calendar. Normally, during this age, most of the people have settled there lives. Stable career, marriage, family, home. Where am I in those?
