Outfit: Semi-formal for the Seminar

We had only a minimal amount of time to prepare for the seminar to be organized by our group. Since I didn't have the time to buy clothes for our attire, I just tried to find some nice clothes to wear in my closet. Luckily, I found a nice skirt that has been hanging in my closet for almost a year now. I was thankful that I could wear it. You know, sometimes I become an impulsive buyer so that's the reason why I bought this skirt. LOL 

My outfit was semi-formal. I opted to wear skirt rather than wear slacks since it is too common and it was a good decision because I was the only one who wore a skirt. 

After the seminar, I changed my skirt to jeans so I could move comfortably around the hospital. It's a bit difficult to move around wearing a skirt especially when you're carrying a lot of stuff and you were always in a hurry, right? By the way, I borrowed the bouquet of flowers from our speaker for photo op. Hahaha!!!

The Seminar

We were really glad that we almost had a celebration when we finished the seminar. It was a blast. It went well though there were some minor flaws but it happens unexpectedly. At least we can now breathe freely without the feeling of butterflies in our stomach...

Different Hair Styles: Part of Moving On

I really love my long hair but you know sometimes I have to learn how to let go of my treasured "crowning glory" just to make me feel good and stronger... and to start anew. 

I used to have a long hair with a straight across bangs. This is my all time favorite hairdo. I just love my bangs. 

Then I got tired of maintaining my bangs so I had it side swept. But unexpectedly, crazy things happen in our life, right? So sometimes we had to do some crazy things just to make ourselves feel good just in a while so I decided to experiment with my hair. I think it's what most women do when they wanted to move on. 

I decided to have a Katie Holmes inspired hairdo. At that time, I didn't know why I wanted to cut my hair short. I just wanted to do it. I felt like it would help me feel better and would help in my moving on process. 

But it turned out to be Dora the Explorer. My co-trainings noticed it so most them called me Dora the Exploiter. Hahaha!!! But I loved my hairdo. 

Then I did some changes with my bangs. But when I was feeling down. Feeling stressed and depressed. There's this driving force inside of me that was telling me to have a new hairdo again. Maybe it's part of my moving on process... to feel good and look good. 

So I had my curls!!! Yes, this is my latest hairdo. And I really love it! Feeling Korean lang ang peg! Hahaha!!! I know this feeling I have right now is just temporary and I will surely just laugh about the crazy stuff I've done including my blog post about ehem... 

New hair... 

New life... 

New beginning... chos!!! 

How about you what crazy things did you do when you were moving on?

The Preparation

It was really a tiring day when we did our preparation for the nursing seminar. We, the trainees were required to organize a seminar. It was a bit hard to think for a gimmick to make our topic interesting and memorable. Our group was the first to present and we were really pressured if we would be able to deliver it in a memorable way. 

Our topic was about Palliative Care. So we had to think a theme that would match our topic. Decorating was a bit tiring especially when there were lots of suggestions and we didn't whom to follow. LOL 

Busy in preparing the decorations... 

Busy preparing for the powerpoint presentation... 

Balloons as part of our decorations... 

In spite of our cramming, we still managed to smile... 

My group camwhoring for the camera. This was the start of my group's bonding... 

We were thankful that we were able to finish decorating and rehearsing for tomorrow's presentation. We had to extend our time in order to accomplish what we had to accomplish that day. Everyone was nervous about the presentation. Fingers crossed that we would be able to deliver it smoothly and with no problems. Hehe

A Day With a Fellow Blogger

Finally, I was able to meet a fellow blogger last year and this was my first time to win a giveaway. At first I couldn't believe it that I won the giveaway since I've already joined a lot and I got no luck in winning.

I got these wonderful accessories and a cute pink accessory organizer. The organizer was really useful since I got a lot of accessories in my room ;)

Finally I've met Chay of My Kichay Kit. Meeting such a nice and friendly blogger was really fun. We've talked a lot of things that day especially about our profession. I really had fun having chit chats with a fellow blogger. =)

A Message to Someone

Sorry will never be enough especially when you intended to hurt someone..

Sure, you are forgiven but let's pretend as if we've never met each other...

At least somehow it could ease the pain you've caused me but it left a scar on my heart...

Bringing Back the Old Me

I'm such a hoarder, I bought 5 books in a day. Am really excited to read them all.

 I used to love reading books and for no reason (maybe it's because of my busy sked - not really sure), I didn't notice that I stopped doing this favorite hobby of mine. And now I realized that I should bring back my old habit. Reading books help a lot especially when in comes to knowledge and great ideas. 2012 wasn't really a great year for me. I've been through a lot of downs so I wanted to read inspirational books again to boost my self-esteem and confidence. I wanted to get up and be on track again... and erase those negative vibes in my life. 

Whoever had hurt me big time, I should forgive and forget them and start anew. I love this quote a lot. It's very short but meaningful. So instead of emoting, crying and thinking about how they've hurt me, I should work hard to be the best I can be. That way, it will help myself become the woman I don't expect I will be. 

Reading is indeed a priceless wealth... =)
