Thirteen Things about ME these past few days
1.I am not too happy with the place where I am right now.I am on my second week here at my current new travel assignment.That's why I am not even mentioning anything about it here in my blog because there's nothing worth mentioning anyway.
2. This place is very far from the very peaceful Vermont where i've been for the past 13 weeks.if only I could stay longer there till winter.
3. This place is too much of a city.People are not as friendly as the Vermonters.There's nothing to do here so i hope nobody's thinking that i could be in NYC because I love NYC.That's probably the only city-life worth living for me at least.
4. On the road,it's more stressful driving to work than being at work!Drivers are colorblind and some are blind even!
5. They see the RED light as GREEN!They dont know the meaning of speed limit here.They're pretending i guess not to know the meaning of those digits that they see on the road signs for the suppose-to-be speed limit.***gosh***
6. A lot of drivers are doing some multi-tasking WHILE driving!They think their car is the extension of their house that they eat their breakfast,DRINK their coffee,put on their make-up etc.Saw some writing/jotting down notes...And those are scenarios i see on the highway..not on a stop light..I wont be surprise if i see somebody one of these days brushing his teeth!
7. I am now working evening shift which is 3pm to 11pm.That is five days a week compared to my used-to-be very convenient schedule of working 12 hours(7pm to 7 am) for three nights per week.((but i think i'll be fine))
8. I am not so happy because i just found out a BIG ERROR on my paycheck!!i cannot afford such a big error on my paycheck!I called my recruiter,she didnt give me a straightforward answer but told me she was gonna call me back suppose to be before 3pm yesterday since i was working at 3pm.of course,i didnt get her call that's why im still awake at this time.Just sent her a very straightforward email about my BIG concern about such a HUGE ERROR!
9. My laptop crashed!!!I could not believe it's happening.I brought it to Best Buy earlier today to have the Geek Squad perform diagnostics which could probably take 2 days at least.Oh!And the diagnostics alone cost $69.I am one customer who does not avail of those service warranty that they offer on electronics coz i always thought that i take good care of my stuff well enough that the chances of them going wrong in the next 3 to 5 years is very minimal...I guess not in the case of this laptop.I love my laptop.It took me years to decide before shifting into a notebook from a desktop and then it took me months to choose till i finally decide on the one that just crashed!
10. I havent had the time lately for my other hobby which is scrapbooking.I am still so much into it that I am excited actually coz now I have *Tink* as my new subject for those cute puppy pages.But.it's just that i didn't had the time as I am busy with my puppy.Am enjoying her and at the same time I am still in the process of getting the hang of it.I am still trying to establish routine to incorporate my pet into my daily activities.
11. I am also in the process of finding a veterinarian as well as a groomer for her.I am thinking of enrolling in a pet education class too.But whatever,im enjoying this.
12. Am so glad and happy that my sister has finally gotten the chance to learn how to send me pictures through email with the use of my old Canon digital camera...Actually,it's not that old coz it's less than a year old.I just decided to buy another one so i can send that camera over to them so they can always send me pictures of my daughter all the time;even everyday!
13. Lastly,if you've notice that i didn't mention the place where I am right now for my current assignment.It's because,as i've said in my list number one.I AM NOT HAPPY TO BE HERE.It's a good thing I have *Tink* who always brighten my day.(aside from my daughter of course who is miles away from me but still she brightens my day and make my heart smile just thinking of her)

Tink Training in progress...
Potty Training is in progress and Im very proud to say that my Tink is almost potty trained now.Almost i said because she knows exactly where the spot is but after turning around and round the pee pad,she sometimes would miss it by smallest than a quarter of an inch.But most of the times,she hit just the right spot which is the center of the pee pad.But the important thing here is that she knows where to do it.
Eating wise,she is eating good.She enjoys short walk outside.Grooming wise,i am in the process of orienting her to her coat's brush as she was not really comfortable being brushed the first few days.But today is better since she allowed me to brush her coat the entire time to my hearts content.I love her coat.She is so fluffy and soft and like a stuff toy!
She has a cologne too huh by the way.I am so glad ive decided to have a pet.I actually want another shih tzu.((Huh))They are the sweetest breed i think.They're the perfect pet.They warm your heart and put a smile on your face after a hard day's work.She keeps my mind off from not so important matters so i can focus on things that really matters.
For anyone thinking of getting a pet,think of getting a puppy.You won't regret it.Choose wisely,choose which breed suits you.But my shih tzu suits everyone!It is also worth mentioning here that a Havanese is also a good breed.They are so gentle and affectionate!They seldom bark too so it's also a good choice for a pet.Although they are not so popular here in the US yet so expect them to be a little bit on the expensive side.But they are AKC recognized already.Havanese are from the Bichon Frise family which is also another wonderful breed.But Bichon comes in white only i think.These are the top 3 breeds that i considered when i was doing my research.But of course,I ended up with a lovable Shih Tzu.I almost considered the Maltese at some point but scratched her off from my list after reading that they bark a lot.But they too are sooo cute and tiny if I am not mistaken,they belong to the toy group of the dog breeds.
There you go....I had my little warning here that i might...*might* get another Shih Tzu..I will later,one day dwell on the reason why, if EVER.. i might end up with another one.But I already have a plan..A good plan... I am also planning to create another blog for her so I can keep track of her growth progress..

Meet FishNet from Philippines!
And of course,i am also happy to share a picture of my daughter Aubrey with *FishNet*...Fishnet is a male Shih Tzu owned by my sister April and a loving playmate to my baby girl back home.
His color is almost similar to my Tink if one would take a closer look.I didnt really notice it until i took several pictures of Tink.I used to search online for a puppy with a shade of chocolate/tan/white but i couldnt resist my Tink's eye when I saw her at MetroPuppies in New York!Among the many puppies there,she was the one who caught my eyes and attention.There was also another female Shih Tzu older than Tink who was trying to catch my attention and kept on coming towards me and as far as i can remember,she is just as adorable but my heart went to Tink.Felt like we develop some sort of unspoken connection/bonding at that time.And so i signed for her papers and off i went as a happy girl with a sweet and jolly puppy!

Thirteen GOOD & Not-So-GoOd Things/tHoughts and whatevers
1. I am all set up for my next travel assignment to another state.I love Vermont but staying in this hospital is too risky for my precious license.The hospital is good but the staffing is really really bad...Unbelievable!
2. My sister is getting married in December and I still haven't purchase an airline ticket yet.Dont know why really?
3. Seriously,I feel like I don't wanna go back to Florida yet.Or let me say,I feel like i want a life outside Florida.If I am to elaborate about this,I will be needing another post so I can gather my thoughts about this matter.
4. I am thinking of getting a puppy but I don't know which breed.I've narrowed down my search into three which are:the shih tzu;the bichon frise;& the havanese.Anybody here on T13 who knows anything about these breeds and where to get them.Any tip will be appreciated coz this will be my first puppy ever!
5. Budget nowadays is really really tight for me but im hoping its gonna get better in the next months to come as I am adjusting again with the payment plan for my new car.
6. I just realized that I haven't opened my laptop for the past two weeks because of too much stuff that I've been doing.>>Ugh<< I was checking my email @ work and that was it...
7. Also,my usual 3 to 4x a week trip to gym in my desire ever to lose the extra kilos I've gained had gone down to 1 to 2x a week.=not good!=
8. My diet has gone wild as well..I don't wanna elaborate.I don't even wanna think about my recent food trips...^=^ what would one expect after I've had a fun factory tour @ Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream plus a sidetrip to a chocolate factory here in Vermont.(((Yummy Yummy Yum I'm telling you))
9. As I am in the process of packing up my stuff.I realized I have lots of them.Like,I found out I have 1 to 2 pcs of lipgloss in each bag I have.Now,bags that I have is another story.I am crazy about bags since way way way back.I even have some bags that I haven't used yet!Plus,I didn't know I have lotion in every corner of the house.And wait!Why do I have two printers here?((enough enough))
10. Now this is really not fun,but I've learned a good lesson from my being a Travel Nurse.To know the hospital protocol about CODES==Cardiac Arrest,that is===.Again,I don't wanna elaborate but I just had the lousiest code ever last night!All nurses who were manning the house are all travelers!Pretty scary for you guys huh but I don't wanna elaborate...okay okay...Lets put it this way...No matter how one knows her stuff if you don't know your equipment then its a real chaos!!!No joke for a patient so seriously ill.And for one doctor to be pointing his fingers to the nurses for apparently "wasting 5 minutes trying" to figure out how to work the defibrillator?????Excuse me doctor....You were the one who asked for the 'scissors'?nah..Forget about it...And to blame others?That's so unprofessional!That's why the Attending Physician was oh so upset with the said resident doctor who in turn pointed his fingers to the four of us.I think I will make this scenario as my next TT entry since there's probably more than 13 things that went wrong since from the beginning of my shift that's why we ended up coding this poor lady at 0230 in the morning.I am so sad this lady died.She wasn't my patient by the way but I checked on her several times because she was going bad!>>>ugh<<<
11. Last Sunday after getting off from work @ 0800 am.I only slept for two hours because I made an appointment with somebody who posted her ad on the paper about a shih tzu that she was selling.We agreed that I am gonna check out the puppies Sunday.So,after an hour drive from my place,nobody was in their house but all the dogs in the yard._sigh_ that shih tzu is not for me I guess_
12. I haven't had the time for my other hobby because of all of this..++I miss scrapbooking++
13. Lastly I want a pet so bad.I've decide actually on getting a shih tzu,so anybody out there who can help me out?In whatever way of help is very much appreciated...Like tips on caring for my future puppy..Basic dog essentials that I need to buy ...How to train them or any tips and infos you can give me is fine.Most especially if you know where I could get one...A female shih tzu!
