the irony of life

when it comes to work or looking for a job/career...we all have our dream work.

when i was young, about 5-6 years old, my dream work is believe it or not, is to be a cashier or bagger at a grocery store. i find life so simple if your work is simple. of course, it doesn't apply nowadays. as a child, i enjoyed pretending i work at a grocery store! hahahaha.

when i was in grade 6, they interviewed me for the year book. my dream career at that time is to become a Businesswoman. why? we had a business before that i would help selling items during vacation or weekends. its a small store in ATC, more of a tiangge, but it was mabenta. my mom would give me "my salary", and bought school supplies and bag with it.

during high school years, it changed! i want to become a veterinarian. why? for my pets. i have a cat and a dog. a visit at a clinic, made me think, "hey! this is cool. i want to be the vet of my dog and cats." then during senior year, it kind of make a sudden turn. i didn't passed UPCAT where i chose vet med as a course. i passed the UST exam where i chose information management as a course. in short i enrolled at UST, but then i don't like my course. after one year, i decided to transfer to another university offering vet med. this is to fulfill my dream.

during my vet med years in college, i can say that my grades are good. there are some high's and low's. i am proud of my grades. i graduated from vet med in october of 2009. i looked for a job, but it was hard to look for any work. they would require a licensed vet.

i ended up as an asst. pre-school teacher. i really enjoyed this work. the company, the children, the activities everything, but then i know there is something missing. i miss my vet med years. i decided to resign in feb 2011 to take the veterinarian board exam. i admit that i still missed being a teacher. there is a tinge of regret that i resigned and i wished that i could come back. past is past. hehe

after passing the board exam, i am happy, but i don't know where to start, what to practice or what to do. i really wanted to work for the government. maka-Pilipinas ako, pero hindi ko sinasabing hindi ko iniisip magtrabaho sa ibang bansa but i would rather work here than abroad.

there are a lot of choices: aso't pusa, baboy, manok, kabayo, baka, kambing, academe, sales, government, public health, research..etc. i would choose government, academe, public health, research, baboy and manok.

i'm now in small animal practice. honestly, i'm not happy. hindi ko nga alam kung bakit. i dont understand what i'm feeling, whats wrong with me? quarter life crisis na ata to.


how ironic. kung anong gusto mo, ayaw sa'yo. Yung ayaw mo, yun ang napupunta sa'yo.

for real...

the oath taking of newly licensed veterinarians

 wala akong masabi eh.

its official - I'M A VETERINARIAN!!!!

No words can describe how happy I am. After 5 months of reading, studying, reviewing and praying to pass the board exam. I am blessed, because I passed.

It was never easy. I failed for the first time, and I would always tell myself that it will never happen again. Iba na kasi ang kaba pag second time na. For me, the exam will make or break my decision. Baka magsimula na ang mid-life crisis ko pag di ako pumasa. I left my work, enrolled in a review center, ask “baon” from my mom again, but this time I took the review seriously. Although I tried to watch tv once in awhile, been watching masterchef autralia, hell’s kitchen, next top model, and believe it or not…all the shows of the Kardashians.

So after reviewing, for 3 consecutive days (wala man lang pahinga?) it’s the exam. I really made an effort to think positive. I prayed for God’s guidance. Nagdasal din ako na sana ung mga hindi ko matandaan, wag lumabas. At nangyari nga yun. Ung mga hindi ko nabasa at ung mga numbers hindi masyadong lumabas. Hahahaha! Pero syempre marami pa rin ang mahirap na tanong, But thank God for everything. I felt good while taking the exam, not like last year where I always cry after the exam.

On the day of releasing the results, my heart was pounding to death. To the point that I cleaned our room thoroughly, washed the dishes, cleaned the house and cleaned the house, just to forget the feeling and the thought that the results will come out anytime. I also turned my phone on silent mode. So come, evening when I received two messages in my phone. I was so nervous to read it. The messages would either say “Congratulations” or “Ok lang yan ate, may next yr pa.” When I opened it, it says: “Congratulations!!!!!!” I almost cried. My mom was sewing at that time, and she felt excited. “Buksan niyo ang computer at maginternet ka. Check mo.” So I checked. And since many people are online, the PRC website is so slow. so I tried to google myself. And there it is, I saw my name. Nasabi ko na lang, “totoo nga. pang 159 ako. (alphabetical kasi. Di ko pa alam ranking ko.hahahaha) everyone’s excited.

This is the best birthday gift and Christmas gift! I’m so happy! Prayer works! J

time flies...sooooo fast!

there's no such thing as failure, only delayed success. :)

trust in the Lord with all your heart,

and lean not on your understanding.

in all your ways acknowledge Him,

and He will make your paths straight. :)

Ba-na-na-na!

i can do this!!! be back by August! :D wish me luck...and may all the positive vibes, energy, etc be with me on august 1, 2 and 3.

Rock on! hehehehe. :D

My March!

March is about to end. Though I don’t have a job anymore, I think my March was very productive. So far, so good.

I got some good rest.

I am relaxed.

I learned how to drive. I’m my mom’s driver by April.

I got to fix my place, arrange some readings and books.

I became a ninang again.

I get to watch good shows on tv.

I colored my hair.

So far, I think I really achieved the driving part hahaha! After taking driving lessons 6hrs for 3 days, finally I can drive our car already. I drove my mom to her dentist in Fairview. The next day, I drove her to Divisoria, UP Diliman, then I told her to drive from UP to shopwise libis because I’m sleepy! Hahaha But from shopwise to home, I drove. So far, so good. I just need more practice and a lot of confidence.

Since hair coloring had become a fad during my highschool days. I thought about it doing in college, but changed my mind because it was expensive done in parlors. But then, since my mom bought a hair colorant, I asked her to also include me. Hahahaha. Siya magbabayad eh. Hehehe. We bought at Mercury Drug in Philcoa. I tried the burgundy. So my hair is burgundy daw. Hahahaha. I like it though, maybe I’ll soon try the blue back or something that will make my hair lighter. Red? Golden…whatever.

I am enjoying my March, because by April I have to be serious and be prepared. I’ve been preparing for this. I’m excited but at the same time nervous. And all I have to do is to think positive! I know I can do this!

This is it Zeny Diana!

God Bless Earth.

the news is so sad. :(
