8's lucky!

It's 2008 already, and I missed blogging! Guess life had been busier that there was no room for me to write the events of my life. Whatever it is that I had not shared in here will remain a memory to me, until probably I'll have Alzheimer's someday.. haha! I hope not!

To be honest, this year seems a pretty good year, compared to 2007. I don't wanna discuss what 2007 has brought me because it's like a nightmare. Let's focus with the here and now. At this time, I guess I'm in the stage of trying to move on smoothly and starting right with whatever it is that I'm working on. I'm taking my time, no rush. Everyday has been a new learning day for me, and I'm enjoying every bit of it.

Transferring to an ICU, spefically Medical ICU, is a big jump for me career-wise. I mean I did this for I have bigger plans for my future. Facing it, I know, will be a challenge. Yeah because I have established my comfort zone already in 8 Main, the unit where I have formerly worked. 8 Main has been my family for more than a year, and leaving it has not been easy. But I know life is all about changes, and I am more glad to take changes for I know it will be for my best.

Presently, I'm enjoying my stay in ICU. For sure, it challenged my brain, my energy, my emotions, everything.  Patient's turnovers are minimal because they are chronic and it serves best for me, because I can study more their cases. Don't get me wrong, like I'm toxic or something, but it came to me at times that I'd like to make a case study on my patients. hahaha! Yeah, probably that's what my alma mater has instilled in me, to always consider events learning experiences; and by trying to look deeply onto it, you will learn something more. So yeah, I met new faces, colleagues with whom I'm still on the process of getting to know. Nevertheless, I yearn for my friends in 8 Main thus still keeping in touch with them, and actually I'm trying to do overtimes there.

Lovelife, zero, but I'm having fun! No worries and no tears. hehehe. My time is my own. I hope it will be at least a year before I'll engage myself into another relationship. Well we'll never know, but I'd just like for me to take it slow and get to know people... Whoever I'll meet, then so be it.

So cheers to a wonderful 2008!!! I always like '8' by the way! It's just kinda lucky! =)
