Wow~!

Didn't realize I haven't really updated this blog (or any of my other blogs) in quite a long while now. Well, I'm not dead. Just been quite busy. What has happened to me since March?

First off, I'm now in Australia. Been here since August 18. Spent my time before that preparing to go here: finished the training at IL Institute, submitted all the modules, went to the practicum at St. Camillus, packed, yada yada... I'm now studying and working here in the Gold Coast. I'm working to get registered as a RN here but am now working at a couple of aged care facilities while I'm at it. It's not that difficult a job. And the residents are fun to be with, generally.

Still getting used to living here. I sometimes still look left instead of looking right first when crossing streets. Buses have a set schedule that you have to follow. But traffic's virtually non-existent.

It's officially summer today, and the heat is just too much! They say it's gonna get even hotter come January and February. I'm so not looking forward to that.

I've stayed at two places since I came here. At Kirra in Coolangatta first when I came in August; with Ate Freda, Kuya Joey, Ate Amy, Ate Alma and Kuya Benjo. Then I moved to Robina with Ate May and Ate Mary. We're staying with a Filipina mother and daughter. Oh, and Indybear (their pet puppy).

I'm working at Mudgeeraba Nursing Centre casually and at Ozcare parttime.

I spent my birthday at Ozcare undergoing a mandatory training; then at dinner back home Ate Mila (our landlady) cooked some spaghetti for me, Dianne (her daughter) brought some homemade cupcakes, Nash (our future boardmate) bought a cake. That was so nice of them, really. Made me cry when I went upstairs to my room.

I'll be spending the holidays here. Working. T_T

Well, that's most of my update for now, the gist of what I've been up to. Hope I can update before Christmas.
