City of Al Khobar, KSA |
5th of September year 2011 marked a very significant change in a life of a dreamer me. Never thought that my aspiration of making a career outside my place of comfort could be as exciting as I had before I left Philippines, overshadowing the fear and the unknown at the back of my mind. To be in the Kingdom is not supposedly an option for me but nevertheless, it became the choice and until this day I am always glad I made that right choice for my heart.
As my sight first glanced this lively lighted City, "Am I suppose to be landing in a desert?" , I asked myself. Maybe I am just too engrossed of the kind of look and description I was exposed during my primary school years on how one looks like ,no nice buildings and houses can be seen, citizens are most likely uncivilized and more, but this desert is far better than where I came from. I am purely delighted and it made me happy, this is not as bad after all.. :)
His love gave me assurance that everything is gonna be alright during my middle east stay with him. He shortlisted my worries and inconveniences as I start my new beginning away from my family and dearest friends. Allow me to have my own revised locution that when love comes at a right time and in an unexpected place, everything is magic. Colorful becomes the sky, even flowers can bring spark to ones eye, within being can have that extraordinary state of bliss and happiness! Simply, it feels good..
aaarrrrGgggghhh.. first few meals were overly humbled due to lack of cooking practices! hehe thank you to the internet who educated me some cooking scheme, hooolaaah" i made some goddies!
these dishes might not as good looking as it can be but I consider them my "achievement casserole".. the taste? aahhhHh.. It was superb, maybe coz I was very hungry then.. hihihi :))
Nursing diploma is one of the toughest to own piece of paper. I cannot keep out from memory those sleepless nights, hard and terror clinical instructors, meeting NCP deadlines, unpaid duty hours and overwhelming fees and expenses! Almost all sacrifices paid-off upon seeing your loved ones happy as you reach the climax of marching on stage with that graduation cap and making it to the license examination. On the other hand, frustration sets in when by reason of overly numbered population of new registered nurses, hospitals are taking much advantage of their popularity to provide novice nurses experience they wanted. Fees are collected instead of paying these nurses what is due for their services, such an injustice! I am just blessed enough to have not gotten through that kind of undertaking, after almost 3 years of being an Operating Room nurse in the Philippines, I am given this opportunity of working here is the Kingdom though I am not considering this one as my salutary experience.
