but here's a 6 month overview...lol
december 2009....
finished my last semester before taking nclex....
these were the 2 last projects we had to work on...a group change project and a patho chart for critical care....
this is some of the class getting ready for a group photo....
on the last day...after our critical care final....a group of us went to eat at boiling crab....mmmmmm!
december 20 10 a.m....pre-pinning gather at my house...
it was a time for all the believers to get together and recite the original nightingale oath...
it was awesome...we had a short praise and worship session....we heard words of encouragement from students and faculty....we recited our oath...and the people supporting us recited an oath of support...and kuya jon closed up in prayer....
PINNING CEREMONY
we were limited to only 8 guests...but i had exactly who i wanted to be there...my parents...my older brother (little brother had work...i forgive him)...my lovely cousins....and kimi and jim....these people have stood by my side...and encouraged me when i felt like giving up....thank you!post-pinning after-party...the asians headed to downtown fullerton for some drinks and dancing :)
this is our 1st picture as an official couple :)

CHRISTMAS 2008
gathered with the penaflor family....this has been a tradition for 9 years....and this may be the last time i go there for christmas :(
i was surprised when i got the invitation...but i was hoping it would give me closure....it did give me some closure...but it also broke my heart because i love this family...and they've been a huge part of my life...
i pray that we can still continue to have a relationship..because they will always be a big part of my life....
CHRISTMAS day...was spent at my house...
it was awesome to be around the people i love...
no party is complete without rock band :)
NEW YEAR'S EVE 2009....
spent the day with chi...unfortunately we don't have pics :( boo!!!!! we bought annual passes...it was awesome...i've never been out on new year's eve...hopefully next year we'll do something bigger...like vegas ;)
JANUARY 2009....
studied for nclex...gag! it was not an excited winter break when i was going to kaplan everyday for 2 weeks...
JANUARY 23rd....my 27th birthday....BLAH! i'm old!
the ladies treated me to happy hour in downtown fullerton....
cousins surprised me and made my night complete
theresa treated us to dessert at cheesecake factory...that was my first time having cheesecake there...my cousins were a lil bothered that i was being a plain jane...and just getting strawberry cheesecake...lol...but i'm a plain person...haha!
shhhh!!!! i rather have cheesecake from costco...i guess i like my cheesecake a lil more frozen or solid...rather than soft and fluffy... :)
JANUARY BIRTHDAYS @ DISNEYLAND with joe, kleng, jim, pops, char, elok, maddie, and krystal...
it was seriously the best time at disneyland ever....the whole day was filled with laughs...

MARCH 2, 2009
took the nclex....stopped at 80 questions...felt like i failed...
waiting for 3 days was the worst!!!!! i couldn't sleep or focus...i get a text from raymo at 645 a.m....saying that results are up...
I PASSED!!!!!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!!
Spring 2009
we officially begin the masters portion of our program...they told us before we entered the program that the first 14 months would be the toughest...and then once we get into the masters portion it would be easier...
THEY LIED!!!!!!!!
it was the worst semester of my life! i seriously felt like dropping every week! i've never cried so much in a semester....
the workload was ridiculous...so many people dropped or dropped to part-time...
i was only able to finish this semester because of the help from my friends...if it weren't for them...i would have failed...
sometimes we would get together to do homework...but take some time to vent and of course....eat! hehe!
celebrating dielle's birthday :)
he makes me laugh :)
