A Birthday Poem

Today's March 15...and yes--it's my birthday...So, I just want to share my thoughts with you guys now that I've just turned a year older again...hahay...hehehe...

And actually, this is my first bday poem ever...hahaha...

Here it is...

I am 23 y.o.
…and still counting
I love that it’s my birthday
And that I’ve lived to be 23…
But, I hate the fact that
I had to add a year to my age.

I can’t help to be stuck
With the reality that I am aging
And this is just whom I become
I am not that fulfilled
Being this old
Yet with credits not enough for my age
I know deep within my heart that…
I could have done better
Being 23 years OLD!

Of course, I had my share
Of being at the limelight
Last year, I graduated
Magna Cum Laude
At our beloved SPC…
And just recently,
I passed the Nursing Board Exam
But still, I am half-unfulfilled
Because I had to earn
Such recognition and title
When I was already 22.

If you will see it
I think there’s no problem with that
Indeed, there isn’t
I am just that affected by the timing.
And we can’t just change that.

Now, I am in a rush for life
It somehow left me along the way
That is why I have to work harder this time
So, I can exceed my expectations
And gain additional faith and confidence
With myself again.

I have always been ambitious...
I believe the world is such a big place
To find and realize just a single dream.
At some point in our lives
We also had a taste of success
Of a dream come true
Yet, we should not stop there
As we say it in campus journalism,
“We are as good as our last article…”

We must keep on evolving
Carry on on doing things
Dream on another dream…
Climb more mountains
Conquer a new world
Learn more and share what you’ve got to offer.
A friend of mine said to me,
“Hope springs eternal…” (which I later found out that it’s from Alexander Pope)
Then, I said to him,
Yet, life is short.
Maybe you don’t want to reach your hopes and dreams
----in heaven.

As of now
I am preoccupied with success and more successes
And somehow, I am confused as to where to start
What to do first and then ask if it is really right to do it first…
And who doesn’t want to have the best out of his decision?
Well, I believe the key towards that is “Focus.”
I, personally don’t want to be a Jack of all trades
And a master of none…

I want to accomplish a lot of things,
The earliest time possible.
I want to reach the point in my life
Where I can say by heart that money can’t really buy everything…
I can say it this time,
Yet the credibility of my words would still be questionable
For how can I say it so with full honesty,
If I haven’t yet experienced and possessed the things that money can give?

I just hope that in time…
I’ll be in touch with all my dreams
And that I can just be contented.
Then, I can truly say---
I had lived my life.

God knows on what age it will be.
But, one thing I am sure about---
It will come.

Tribute to SPC RNs of 2008

***First and foremost, I would like to congratulate my fellow SPCians who passed the November 2008 NLE...This poem is for all of them...Or should I say, for all of us...Kasali ako xmpre....hehe...


Breathe now new nurses
Pace no more from cramming
Mind not of deadlines
Case studies and duties
Those were the days already
Now treat yourself and take a rest
Enjoy the banquet of the day
Seize the flavor of victory
Savor the heat and zest of it
While it is still tasty ---
While it’s still hot, sumptuous and fresh.

Rejoice now dear nurses
You’ve waited long enough for this day
For years you had trudged and scampered
To earn your diploma and slid on your toga
For months you had drowned yourself
With piles of nursing books and notes
Burning each midnight candle
‘Till its last brightest spark
Then, lighting another one again
All for the sake of glory…
For the joy and pride of passing the board.

Alas! You did it already.
Your efforts had been paid off
Every stroke of your pen
And shading of your pencil
All drew the present masterpiece
Of seeing your name written on the passers’ list.
Your prayers had been answered
He had spoken ---
Behold, it’s your luck this time
Waste nothing of such favor
And live each day
Being worthy of such gift.
You’ve prayed and cried hard enough for this
Now’s the time to mean what you’ve said
Prove the credibility of your words
And test the limits of your promises.

You’re a picture of a happy face
Gone were the frown lines
The heavy look in your eyes
And wrinkled areas on your foreheads
Your loved ones share with your joys
They are as proud and jubilant as you are
Be thankful for them
They sustained the fire of your passion
That led you towards one finish line
Of your still countless
Race tracks and pathways
On your peregrination towards
The better life that they say.

You’ve gone a long way now
From being a freshman
Towards being a fresh nurse
You might had topped and rocked the board
Yet your calling exceeds than that
You are an angel in the sick room
And are bound to live such name
From the borders of the rural areas
To the proximity of the foreign lands
Regardless of the distance
And the dangers ahead in such domain
The heart of a nurse continues to beat
On the hub of your totality
The heart of a full-blooded SPCian
Persists to nurture every part of you
So as no matter where you go
Apart from which field of interest you choose
The strong and winning spirit of SPC
Will always live within you.

Carry on dear nurses…
Welcome to the real world…
You had rocked the board exam---
This time, it’s your chance to rock the world.

RNs to be: Anxiously Waiting

***To all the future RNs out there...I know u can empathize with this entry...hehehe...


A lot has been said
As to when will it be…

It was still October
When they said it’ll be December

December came
And they said January…

Then, January came,
And of course,
You’re right!
They said, February…

But again, we asked..
When will it really be?

First week came,
And they said by the 2nd week

2nd week came,
And they said by the 3rd week

Then, the cycle continues…

Yet, again when will it really be?

It’s been two months and a half
Of fretful nights…
Of wishful thinking..
Prayerful days…Good deeds…
Optimism…Apprehension…
Excitement…Boredom…
And tedious waiting…

But still,
When will it really be?

9 churches had been visited
9 mornings were completed
Eggs had been offered
All Saints had been called
Finished a two or three Novenas
Lighted a candle in different places…

Yet,
When will it really be?

We’ve grown tired and weary
More anxious and unsteady

Each day we ask and wonder
When will it really be?

Will it be worth the wait?
Or should we wish…
We haven’t known the result…

Should we prepare a party of our own?
Or just attend those of our peers?

Should we bring out our pigs?
Or just let them grow bigger for next season?

Should we be ready for the oath taking?
Or be back again in the review center?

Should we want to go out still after we’ve known the outcome of our exam?
Or should we prefer to be at home and settle for self-pity and depression?

Should we be ready to cry out of joy?
Or just set ourselves for tears of dejection?

Should we see our names in front of our school?
Or just find ourselves imagining and wishing for it?

Days from now
We will finally see it…

Will it be the fruit that we’ve been dying to reap?
Or will it be a rotten harvest from wasted time and efforts?

Will we be a subject of ridicule or the star of the day?

Will we be RNs or still RNs to be?

One, two or three days from now…
We will be on face with reality…

We’re just hoping
It would be the reality
We’ve been dreaming of
And praying for since then…

We all know we’ve done our part…
And played it well…

So, whatever comes…
Just let it rain…

But, as for now
We are holding on to our faith…
We remain positive and hopeful…

And
Deep inside
Our hearts rumble and mumble…

Lord,
Grant us those licenses…
Make us pass and top the board exam!

Kudos RNs!
