Who the heck says that it is painless must have wreck nerves. Bought a coupon for the treatments months ago, but didn't start it until about a month ago. Therefore, I paid around 1/3 of the regular price. It's insane how people can pay over a thousand for this. It feels like somebody pinching then twisting the skin, OUCH. It especially hurts there. It doesn't last long though. I have friends who do laser on their arms and underarms. They claim to be in pain. I tried the underarms once and it feels uncomfortable but still bearable. It gets painful only on the last shot. All this to be hassle free once the sun comes out. It works very well with Asian since it's dark hair over light skin. It also makes everything less high maintenance, so I do recommend this technique.
Talking about hair... For the past seven years, I carried around virgin black hair then got struck by I-need-a-change moment, so spontaneously, I got my little cousin over to work on my head. The elder sister called me crazy to let a noob play with my hair. But hey, I'm that risky and it gave a beautiful result, even professionals were surprised. Colleagues say it makes me look more...lady-like. Yep. 'Cuz apparently black hair made me seemed too immature. Go figure.

OB-GYN
Somehow, I made myself believe that I'd love OB-GYN and it has been obsessing me as days go by since I've applied for new positions. Newborns, no matter what, will thrive for life. Regardless of them having congenital diseases or being unable to cry, they will still hang on and only know that they must survive. Unlike some adults who wouldn't care for themselves, newborns make it always worthy of our care. Also, being by mothers' side who share the same heartbeat with their baby for 30 weeks, having them all worried and curious yet overwhelmed by joy, makes it so magical. Those people will cry happy tears and bring back hope that I've lost somewhere on my current unit. It is a mutual move. That's how nursing works, we get back from our patient as much as we give.
I'm aware, it will be disastrous when I'd have to give birth to stillborn and have its family weep all over. Nevertheless, OB-GYN seems to always give its 100% in what it does. At the end of the day, happiness wins over than its counter party. It feels awesome when our job is all about protecting such a small life and its mother at all cost.
The best friend is having her training in OB-GYN right now and she's loving it. Always wondering what she should choose between OB-GYN and Peds, I've recommanded her OB-GYN, but maybe it's because I was never fond of peds. Anyways, who knows, maybe one day we will be working together for real... because as of now, she removed the idea of doing her residency in Vancouver. Hence, along with some other personal issues, I might be forced to delay my idealistic plans.
I may have mentioned this medical drama before. I've watched it and it is on the run again. The cases are made much more realistic than some American medical series. Plus, the male lead although being younger than the lead actress has such a sweet smile and caring personality in the drama. Must watch! Obstetric and Gynecology(viet dubbed). All right, I've been shamelessly trying to figure out how to download these episodes, but can't. Sniffle.
This is for the often forgotten fathers out there...Happy Belated Father Day. "Any guy can be a dad, but it takes a real man to be a father."

La boss et compagnie
Yay pour l'augmentation d'échelons! Et ça s'arrête bien là. Les problèmes ont toujours été présents, seulement ils semblent prendre plus de place depuis que j'y suis plus souvent. J'ai bien atteint la limite de ma patience pour ce département.
L'autre jour, j'entend une préposée aux bénéficiaires hurlée dans le corridor 'Crissss' et je la dévisage avec 'mon dieu', s'en suit des répliques comme quoi je n'ai pas à lui dire 'mon dieu' si je ne connais pas le contexte duquelle la conversation se trouve. En fait, elle se plaignait comment le travail sur l'étage est lourd, mais quel manque de professionalisme, ce ne sont pas tous les patients autour d'elles qui souffrent de démence!!! Après, elle ose m'accuser? Ah, parce qu'il n'y a que seulement elle qui travaille bien sûr. Les préposés prennent deux pauses de 15 min et un dîner de 60 min, tandis que les infirmières commencent 15 min plus tôt, ne prennent pas de pause et coupent le dîner à 45 min. La même préposée a décidé à 15h30 (on termine à 16h) qu'elle en avait assez fait et que les gens de soir recoucheront les patients assis aux fauteuils (depuis plus d'une heure) plus tard. N'oublions pas que certains ont eux leurs hanches ouvertes la veille.
Dans tout ça, ma boss est au courant, mais ne semble pas agir fortement. Je ne peux pas lui en vouloir plus que cela, je suis certaine qu'elle est autant désespérée. Malheureusement, au lieu de renvoyer les parasites, les hôtes quittent d'écoeurentisme. Elle est incapable d'avoir plus de contrôle sur son personel, ce qui est désolant. Celle qui remplace Bailey temporairement n'aide pas à la cause.
J'ai relativement une bonne relation avec ma boss, sachant qu'elle me parle de sa vie privée, me demande des conseils sur les voyages, etc. Lorsque j'ai fini ma session d'école, elle m'a demandé si j'allais faire ma matrîse. Je lui ai répondu, 'T'es folle?" S'en est suivi des "Je sais que tu vas faire ta maîtrise. " "Non!" "Oui, tu vas faire ta maîtrise. J'ai plein de poste de cadres à t'offrir. Ça ne te tente pas? " "Non!" En bon Anglais, "Are you insane?! Seriously. Me?" D'ailleurs, le monde est tellement petit: sa mère est la directrice d'un programme à ITHQ, école dont mes deux cousines ont fréquenté.
La boss ne sera pas très contente quand elle saura que j'ai appliqué sur de nouveaux postes, qui sont ouverts à l'intérieur du CHUM, y compris la salle d'accouchement et en mère-enfant! Il y a des coupures de postes et ils ont voulu couper le mien et celui d'une autre. Ma boss s'est apparement battu pour les conserver, disant que je remplace Bailey de temps en temps. On m'a fait la remarque que je ne jubilais pas assez à l'idée de conserver mon poste, jusqu'à ce que la collègue comprenne que j'avais pas l'intention d'y rester éternellement. En fait, je ne suis pas nécessairement dans la position de perdante si jamais les choses s'étaient dérouler comme prévues par les cadres.
Bref, nous verrons bien, j'ai tout de même l'intention d'y rester jusqu'à la fin de mes vacances, car cela fait trop de changements à gérer en même temps. Savez-vous qu'infirmière est comme une mère. Il faut dire aux médecins (ouais, on dit aux médecins quoi prescrire...), à la pharmacie, à l'entretien ménager, aux préposées, aux patients, à la famille et même à ses propres collègues quoi faire. Juste pour ça, j'espère ne pas finir avec un copain dont je dois aussi lui dire ce qu'il faut faire!!!

Tumbler part 1
Stumbled and bookmarked one in particular, then collected a few. Not keen into possessing one, so re-posting some over blogger, with credits attached... Did I even make one full sentence here, minus this one?
Especially, like this one because I often did this before an important exam. While I haven't finished studying, I'd tell myself that I will wake up early to continue. Often times, I just kept my blanket on, for having stayed in bed studying too late few hours ago.
I either did, still do, or say these things.

R and N's wedding
My feet are dead; just came back from a friend's wedding. A very small and cozy almost all DIY wedding. It had six tables. We had fun regardless of barely no work from MC and relatively noob DJ. I wouldn't mention the food. Keep in mind that I am a picky person regarding weddings. Chateau de Vaudreuil was a great choice of setting. I've learned that the groom and bride decided to make a more intimate wedding and invite people who are close. The irony here is, indeed, she had promised me three years ago that she would invite me to her wedding, if that was to occur, however we did not keep in touch during those past three years. I'm flattered that she remembered.
When I agreed to attend, I expected to bump into a guy whom I've *kindly* or rather coldly shoo off three years ago. I'm so amazed at how we didn't change. I mean, it wouldn't have worked back then, it wouldn't now neither. Although a very gentleman, he still behaves like glue and doesn't get what repetitive no stands for. To insist once or twice is all right, but it had been ten times I said I don't want to dance now (due to the music sucks or the dance floor sucks), why did you still have to insist and grabbed the arm and pulled it, geez?
To make matters worse, he has to say:
- "You don't want to dance with me." (That wasn't a question but a statement, right? What's the point of mentioning it then if you know the answer."
- "Why you seem to be so scared of me whenever I approach you?" (Erh, because you make me feel uncomfortable?)
- "I've added you on facebook back then but you've never accepted the request." (Uh-huh, and do you get the reason why? Anyhoo, another request will land on me soon I suppose.)
- "Do you still live on _______" (How come you still remember all these?!)
- "Since the newlyweds have to fly off, they gave me the nuptial room for free. Why don't you all come up?" (It was nothing sexual, but no?)
Doesn't he know that certain obvious issues are sometimes best left unsaid? Thanks lord, another guy and my buddy were there so we were never really left together alone!!!! Can't he just be like a man and keep a certain distance, we're not really friends. T'es dans ma bulle, en bon Français! Doesn't he know girls like bad yet good boys, because they think they can change them? Well, that doesn't mean that it works for me but...
On a side note, my friend and I decided to hit real dance floor afterward as we were left with way too much extra energy. Now, either we got too old or at 2am, these males who have yet to find a partner are seriously in need to get laid, because it wasn't two minutes we set feet inside, I got my arm grabbed and pulled over then someone else just decided to put his hands around my waist as I was still walking, that freaked me out. Let's not mention other trivial moments. My friend ended up buying a bottle of water and wasted half of it pouring on those guys, so hilarious. (We were still in our wedding attire so no, we weren't dressed inappropriately.) As we headed to the exit door, I noticed four couples grounding each other against the counter, as in having sex through clothes literally, just get out, get a room, and get naked for god' sake! It has always been an eyesore for me even when I was younger.
Regardless, it was an awesome day. Photos will be up soon, regardless of this arrogant entry of mine. I have to mention that we went through many U turn and even got lost and even ended up in South Shore (Chateauguay) as we were heading West. Yep...
