There were many times throughout my life when I find moments of blissful happiness. It's not thing, a place or even people. They are feelings that comes from inside for just a moment and usually not even think about it when it happens. You just go along with that feeling until it dies away. I wish I can freeze that moment in time. When we think of these moments, you have this sense of peace and sometimes a longing and a bit nostalgic. I think I will call it "Life Simple Pleasures." Because you don't work hard for it; it just comes.
The feeling you get when a new born baby hold onto your index finger with its whole hand.
The feeling you get when a child runs up to you and grabs you by your legs and you lower yourself to hold onto them.
The feeling you get when you're swinging on a swing. Then you lean back and look up to the blue cloudy sky and swaying trees and feel the rush of it all with each thrilling fall and rise.
The feeling you get when you kiss the man that you like and his little spikey hairs on his face pokes and tickles you. Especially right by your nose near the upper lip.
The feeling you get when a secret admirer sends you something only they know you like secretly.
The feeling you get when you finally understand and appreciate what was taught to you by a wiser or older person. Especially parents or teachers.
The feeling you get when you blow out your candles and having that wishful moment when you're making a wish. The one you make with your heart.
The feeling you get when you're trying to think of a word that's on the tip of your tongue and finally figure out what it is!
The feeling you get when you want to laugh out real loud but you have to hold your breath, hold your nose, and close your mouth to keep from laughing.
And also the feeling when you burst out laughing.
The feeling you get when you open a letter from a friend you haven't seen for ages and then read their letter as it draws up memories.
The feeling you get when your phone rings and it's the one person you long for very much to call you.
The feeling you get when you have butterflies in your stomach and feel a natural high for anticipating an exciting date, performance, or speech. etc.
The feeling you get when you hear your daughters laughing with each other at night in the room next to you when you're trying to go to sleep when they come home to visit.
Be back more to add some when I can think of it

June 2008
So, I've been busy lately. Keeping busy actually. I spend most my time in clinicals. If I'm not in clinicals than I'm sleeping. If I'm not doing either those two, then I'm spending time with my family. Especially my niece and nephew. And they're a handful. I'm also worried about my CRT Exam. I have not been studying as hard as I should. Am I too confident going into this test? Maybe so. But yeah. This will be a short and inclusive entry. I'll be back later to write more. I haven't had time to think things clearly and I have no idea what I want as ouput of my thoughts for now. So I need more time. Some reflection before I go in here and write my thoughts/feelings. I'm going through alot these days. So yeah. Until next entry. Peace.

is an experience of a lifetime. I hope I can come back again.
Due to protection of underaged children in my photos.... without their parent's consent, I can't share their pictures.

Summer 2008
I'm excited for Clinicals this week!! =)
This week at University Hospital I'll be doing my intubation in the surgery department and ER rotations. I get to stand in for a few surgeries..... Some are open heart surgeries too!!! =) Guess what I get to do?! Inutbate and manage airways during the procedure (with a preceptor of course). I'm hoping to do as much intubations as I can. Once I get one intubation done I will move on to the next patient and so on. Depending on how many are scheduled of course. If there aren't many I get to stay back and watch a few surgeries. After all the surgeries are done, I head to the ER department and finish my day. =) I'm so excited. The only sad part is that it'll only be three days next week. I can't wait til I get my registered respiratory therapist license. I think I'm going to work here at University Hospital. But we'll see. I'm going to St. Tammany in Convington this summer. I hear it's a very nice hospital. Plus, I don't have to go through the Causway bridge cause I live in the east anyway. And also, I'll be going back to East Jefferson for Pulmonary Rehab for about a week also. I hope it'll be fun and not to boring. Oh yeah, I'll be at Tulane Hospital also for Neonatal ICU for about a week and do some more Pediatrics/ Neonatal ICU at Children's Hospital too. Full schedule for the Summer huh?! It'll be a very short summer since i'l be so busy.
It's only 10 weeks. AHHHHHH!!!!
It's my last semester of clinicals before I'll be practicing my license. Can you believe it?! I'm going to be an CRT! My first credentials behind my name. Possibly, I'll be adding more to it. I'm going to change that CRT into RRT. Then add a BS with it too!! Three credentials!! teehee.... But i'm just going to put RRT, BS. Yeah, I'm looking into some perfusionist schools after I graduate. Maybe I'll be moving out to Texas in a few years. There's a perfusion school over there. Or maybe I'll change my mind and specialize in something else. There's a possibility LSUHSC New Orleans will have a PA program for 2009 when I graduate. But there's very limited acceptance. So we'll see. I know that I want higher education, since I can do so much after I graduate. It's just.... I don't know what to do. So many choices and decisions to make.
*Big Breath* taking a step back. It's been a year. WOW!
Time sure flies..... update more later.
College has opened up alot of opportunities for me. Being in this program has changed my life. Because of it, there are endless opporunities for me to make a difference. When you get where you want to be, there's no other way but to keep on going Up. OMG, I'm growing up.
