Project Runway updates

For this challenge, (the contestants and)Michael models his own garment. You gotta hand it to this guy, he is really fascinating. I'm pretty sure he'll make it to the final 3. It should be interesting if he, Uli and Laura show on the Olympus Fashion Week. It's a surefire feast for all the fashionistas out there, and of course Project Runway fanatics such as yours truly.

Angela finally got booted. I would much rather see Jeffrey go but it was Angela's time. Actually, she should have gone a loooong time ago, before Allyson and Robert. OMG the rossettes, the rossettes are gone!!! I wonder how she'd feel if she knew that we have those as project in grade school. We sew them together and made them into doormats. Maybe she'll stop making them her Angela signature rossettes

Nike Shox

Sixteen hour shifts are a killer. Even my Nike Shox could notsave me from the perils of running around like a headless chicken in the jungle called....you guessed it, six south. Every now and then I stop and scold myself - what were you thinking?

And then I get my answer.

Doing sixteen hour shifts has several rewards.

First, I only have to work 3 or 4 days and get additional days off, unlike working 8 hours, 5 days a week. That means having more time to see shows I haven't seen for a long time like Amazing Race, Rockstar, CSI, etc. Because working 8 hours meant being at work 5 days a week, it also meant missing the shows that I love. Now I even have more time to go to Barnes and Noble or just be lazy.

Having additional days off also meant I can work extra because I have more days to spare. It used to be that to work exta meant to give up one of my 2 precious days off. And believe me, they are PRECIOUS!

Doing 16 hour shifts also meant having more time to pacify things in such a way that when I go home, I feel content that I have done my job and did it well. That I did not leave things for the next shift to do.

If only my feet can feel good as well!

If you haven't figured out by now, there is no "quiet time" in 6S. When I work 16 hours, I'm on my feet 15.5 hours. Every now and then I get the "chubby girl" assignment, that is I have patients from end to end. That means I have to run, run run to get from one patient to another. Imagine them calling at the same time, or even one after another. Instant workout!

I should get new shoes. I thought my Shox and I can transition through this together. Unfortunately, it's starting to fail me. Gotta get something that can carry me through constant running and being on my feet. Coz I plan to do this craziness for a long time.

MAD about....Sawyer

Michael did not win this time but he was still
part of the top 3. But I agree, Vincent deserved to win.
I don't know what happened to Robert, he was a
designer for Barbie for pete's sake! But why didn't
his creations show it? Beats me!

This was Michael's

Project Runway Updates

here it is.....

Michael won again in today's challenge. But blogger is acting up so I can't post his latest creation.

Haha. Jeff was so mad coz he can't belive Michael won over him. The nerve!

Anyways, I still am shocked that Allison got kicked out and not Vincent. I mean she slipped this time, that doesn't compare to Vincent screwing challenge after challenge!

Sometimes I don't understand the judging but I guess they know best. I'm just a bystander.

Drama!

it's 4 in the morning and I'm still awake. So what else is new?

I don't know how I feel. At first I thought it was just fatigue associated with (ladies, you know what). But deeper into the night, a deeper feeling of senselessness I feel. Like I'm being pulled into several different directions. What for? I do not know. I have no fuckin' idea.

I felt like crying but it never came. I wish I can just cry and get this over with. But how do you do that when you don't even know what's going on?

Am I tired? I think not.

Am I lonely? Probably

Am I sick? Sick of things maybe.

Am I bored? Not sure if boredom can generate this kind of feeling.

Do I want something? If I did I'm not sure what.

Dare I write the more personal question? Am I daring enough?

Maybe it's the personal question I need to focus on. The answer's bound to be there.

Do I have the guts to hurt someone? I'm not sure.

Is this my answer? I don't know.

Do I want an answer?

so excited about Michael winning this challenge!

Apple let me try her new discovery - lip plumping lipgloss. Curiosity got the better of me so I willingly spread the sticky stuff on to my lips. In a matter of seconds, I felt the tingly, itchy feeling. Like an inflammation being induced. If you think about it, that might just well be what it's intended action is. I tried to see if there's any swelling, err... plumping happening. I'm not sure if it was just my imagination or my lips really did get "plump". Anyways, I couldn't bear all that itching and tingling so I wiped it off. Now where is this story going? I don't really know.

I love my job, I love my job, I love my job!!!

Every once in a while, I feel it....the satisfaction of what I do.

I am a nurse, but lately nursing care has been at the very bottom of my priority list. There's always too much that needs to be done, trivial things that when totalled amounts to more hours than performing real "patient care". Cleaning the commode, stripping the bed, wiping the spills before calling housekeeping to mop the floors....???? There's something wrong here, no? Add to that a support system that acts more of a nuisance rather than support like pca's who don't answer calls, unit clerks who spends time chattering rather than helping make your job easier you'd rather do things yourself than be frustrated and disappointed. And how about MD's who think they own you??? Do you really need me to feed you info when you can easily find them yourself, in the computer and in the chart? Such delusions of grandeur!

Then there are days when you are just too happy to do your job, when the atmosphere is just right for you to be able to do your job witout thinking about time managment. Shower patients, change the sheets, set up their tray. To be able to look at the H&P, progress notes labs, and other reports without having to worry about the 8 hours not being enough. To be able to listen to your patients without thinking about all the other things you need to do, without cutting them short just because you can't spare any more time. Every now and then, you get that bliss....

Every once in a while should come more often.
