Are you a fan of Brendon? Ryan? Jon? Spencer? Well I AM! In case you don’t know who those guys are, they’re the boys of Panic at the Disco. Take note that they no longer have the exclamation point (!) in their name.

Panic at the Disco

They’re finally coming here for a concert at Araneta Coliseum on August 14, 2008. The concert will start at 8:00pm so anyone planning to go, you know you have to be there hours early right? :-)

I’m such a huge fan of PATD and right now, I feel like I’m the lamest ever. I seriously would love to go. Heck when I first read they’re coming here (it was months ago already), I instantly went into my crazy-fan mode and started screaming all over the house. But since it’s almost two weeks before the concert and I still don’t have the money to buy tickets, crap, I’m not sure anymore. Why does my life have to suck so much?!

I just absolutely need money! And of course a job. Anyone wanna help? :p

For more info on PATD’s concert, you can visit their myspace or just google it. Hehe.

I am new to blogging here at WordPress. My friend have been telling me for months that I should start one. So here I am : )

I was browsing through one of her blogs and came across her WordCamp post. I figured since I’m new, this could be my chance to meet other bloggers, learn more about blogging and WordPress of course.

The event is free. Yes, you read it right. It’s free! There will be bloggers from all over the country so if you’re interested to meet new people (like me and my ever so dearest friend), then you should definitely check it out.  Another good thing is that the whole event is free! (And I read bloggers get badges and kits!)

If you’ve seen The Devil Wears Prada, well you know where I borrowed the line from.

Trivia! Did you know that unemployment is one of the new risk factors for having decubitus ulcers (bed sores)? No you didn’t? Well that’s because I just thought of that one up.

But if you think about it, it does make some sense doesn’t it? See if you’re unemployed, you’re most likely to decrease your physical activities which would most probably be narrowed down to watching tv, going online, hanging out with fellow unemployed friends, helping out with the house chores, sleeping, eating and more sleeping. Pretty much spells a sedentary lifestyle.

Now to avoid further increasing my risk of having bed sores, I decided on trying my luck at a call center (and also because my friend’s been bugging me to go too). Surprise. Surprise. Everybody just applies at a call center these days. But who wouldn’t right?

Here are my reasons:

1. It’s hard to look for a job at a hospital. Wait, let me rephrase that. It’s easy to look for a job to apply for but hard to get in. You’d have to know people (doctors) to back you up just so they’d even look at your resume.

2. I can’t afford to volunteer at a hospital for 3 months or so. I just can’t right now. With the increase of fare and gas prices and rice and electric bills and everything else that is not free. Heck I even have to borrow money just so I can get from point A to B. (Yes, I am poor).

3. Number 2 also means I can’t afford to pay any hospital that requires a fee for us to be trained there for, oh I don’t know, a month or two? Crap.

4. Call centers pay good. I heard trainees already have allowance. And that the minimum salary is around P10K.  (pls correct me if i’m wrong)

5. Lastly, call centers pay good.

You see? Who wouldn’t apply right?

I’ve given this a lot of thought… okay maybe not. Anyway, here’s the story…

I’m a nurse. An unemployed nurse from a country where 3 out of 5 people are likely to be nurses. Which basically means that I know what those words mean. Haha!

1. Borderline

  • A personality disorder; Relating to a condition characterized by a pattern of instability in mood, interpersonal relations, and self-image, and manifested by self-destructive, impulsive, and inconsistent behavior
  • An indefinite area intermediate between two qualities or conditions

2. Sublime

  • Inspiring awe; impressive

or

3. Sublimation

  • The substitution of unacceptable instinctual drives into socially acceptable expressions

Tada! Nice isn’t it? But what does that really mean? Do I just know what those words mean and just wants to show off? Or do I really have borderline personality? Are my thoughts sublime? Am I doing a lot of sublimation as my defense mechanism? Am I a subliming borderline? Am I a psychiatric nurse? A psychiatric patient?
