A dream come true of traveling together finally happened last Sunday when we went to Leeds for the first time. Yay! Thank you Lord. That was our first destination here in England out from Hull where we are based. Super enjoyed the one day escape from our typical day. How much more when we will have few days travel itinerary in the future? That would definitely be a blast I supposed! After rendering a night shift from my second job, went straight to have a quick shower then breakfast and slept for an hour to recharge myself. It's like a... Read More

Conversation with my four year old boy before bedtime: What's your prayer to Papa God? Akyn: "Na mawala na ang virus." "Doctors to find cure and sick people to stay at home to be healthy again." I thought he's going to ask for more toys or clothes but no. It made me happy knowing I must have done something right to raise him with this kind of thoughtfulness to others. Hoping he will continue to have such pure loving heart. 💕 I'm spending more time with my boy now especially during my time off. He's like my little buddy who's... Read More

I thought that keeping mum would help you get away from conflict. Well I'm wrong. It's not true because if we do, people will start putting words into our mouth that we've never said, labeling actions we've never done, accusing thoughts we've never thought of at all. Cruel world where we are living. Whether we keep our distance from NEGATRONS or choose to negate with their opinions about us, there will always be something they will discuss against you in their own little circle of friends. In instances like this what would you normally do? For me, I'd rather find... Read More

We are now in the middle month of the year. How's everyone doing? If we are still breathing up to this point then we should be thankful for surviving. It's not yet the end of the battle though as there is no vaccine available yet against Covid 19. No time to be complacent, not the right time to ignore those precautions to keep everybody safe. Three days off Mommas but felt like it's too short for me to complete all the things I wanted to do at home. You know all the cleaning stuff I got to make as the... Read More

On the second day of my time off I did loads of task to do some clean up in our little flat. Well done to me! Now that my family is here I felt like my accommodation is too small for the three of us. Unlike before when it was only me who seldom stays home during rest days as I rather would go to either the gym or do some shopping, sometimes to my friend's house. Totally opposite from now because we spend more time at home together. My flat here is like a little condo type if we... Read More

Good morning fellas! It's my fifth day for my rest day. Wow! First time ever to experience such a lengthy time off. Only a few overtime shifts are being offered now in the hospital which is quite new to me because usually loads of extra shifts are available. Anyway, I'm not complaining at all as it's quite scary to go on duty now with the pandemic still unresolved, isn't it? I've been working as an overseas nurse for a year and three months now. How was it to work away from our home? Loads of nice things to enjoy. However,... Read More

The days of having the freedom to go to shopping malls whenever you want to is currently suspended and so as my one source of relaxation is put to a halt. Noooo!(LOL) I love going to shop during my rest days. It recharges my exhausted self. Trying to justify my spending habit, ey? Because of the stay at home policy our shopping activity were switched to online browsing for non essential goods. Bet most of us can relate of being only allowed to do grocery shopping for our basic needs. It's something new for all of us. UK extended its... Read More

Because it is my rest day I've already made plans on how to spend it two days before I went off on duty. Isn't it obvious how much I am looking forward to chill out a bit? You know it when we are on the adulting phase already because we are so much excited to be leaving from work on time not because we got some night gigs to attend to. Rather, we wanted to spend a peaceful "ME TIME" with no stress, no rush just us enjoying what we love. So what's up for today? First things first, decided... Read More

Rest days would also mean a video call day for my Akyn. A routine common to mommas working as an overseas nurse. I wouldn't think it unfortunate to be away because I certainly know this is just temporary. I'd rather consider this journey as a blessing making way for my dreams to come into reality. Many desired to be here but only few are determined to face the struggles to be a UK nurse. To make the story short, so here I am now doing my role as a mum abroad for my boy during my day off. Something amazing... Read More

The world is enjoying the peaceful night to rest their tired body while the chatty me is up to write on something before my thoughts will get distracted. How was your Christmas celebration? I had a different kind of Christmas this year. I would say it's kind of something both joyful and a little sad with a mixture of an unexpected drama. A bit sad because it's my first Christmas to be away from my family. But at the same time, I'm happily enjoying the fruits of my labor to make my dream come into a reality in pursuing my...

Few hours left before Christmas, it is. Many are in a rush doing holiday shopping. Kitchens are all smelling with delightful food prepared for the family gathering tonight. Everyone seems busy while here I am all tucked in my bed completing this post before I'll head to work tonight. Chill mode activated! I'm done wrapping with all my presents last night, anyway. So I really got nothing to get myself busy with. As they said Christmas is about sharing with what you have, a time when generosity overflows. I just love it. Nothing beats with my favorite time of the... Read More

My straight six days of duty finally came to an end. How did I manage to survive getting knackered for that long? Dear me! If you love your job, an exhausting day can turn into something productive with lessons left for you to ponder. Bow! Excited to spend my time off duties because I now got the freedom to update my blog in writing something I've been itching about to voice out. Is it really that interesting to share? For me yeah it is especially to those who love to write in bed using their laptop. Please say hi to... Read More

One of the best places to visit when you wanted to relieve stress is to pay round to see a theme park. It's suitable for both kids and to us who are still a child at heart. 😄 It's my first time to experience what the locals call as Hull Fair. A yearly tradition of a travelling funfair coming to Kingston upon Hull with lots of rides, games, food and souvenirs to enjoy. God thank you! I surely had a good time visiting it for about three times in its one week of stay here together with different set of... Read More

It's still autumn here but the coldness of the weather feels like winter. This chilly season never fails to give me a morning struggle to go out of bed especially when I am scheduled to report on duty and I have to convince my bum to get up but I refused to because the weather is so conducive for a bedbound mode with Glassgow Coma Scale of three. The struggle is real pretty mommas! 😪 I'm always having a headache early in the morning in going to work because I usually go out of the house with wet hair which... Read More

Wake me up when September ends. Have you heard of this song? Quite popular before, yeah. This month is about to end. Gosh! I'm running out of breath catching up with how time moves so fast. I must be too preoccupied not minding the quick flipping of my calendar. Believe it or not I am about to celebrate my first monthsary of stay in my flat. Yay! Every month's target of mine is to continuously improve my place by completing each bits and bobs needed to make it feel homey. Do you do that as well in your house? You... Read More

Hola sunny day for me on my only rest day in between hospital duty days. Time to slow down a bit and enjoy my non stressful day. What do you normally do when it's your day off? Usually I don't have any strict schedule to follow. However, it's always a part of my day to never forget my blog. Apart from the fact that this site is a part of my routine, it also became an important piece of my LIFE. It's like an outlet of myself to voice out all my unspoken opinion, a written documentation of my everyday... Read More
