Housewarmings?

Nika Catbagan — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 21:02:31 +0000

I’m not used to celebrating with new neighbors that I’m not quite sure what would be good gifts for a housewarming? I was thinking of a vase or some candles but I thought maybe flowers might work. I think they’re the most non-awkward gift because you wouldn’t have to guess what kind of “style” they have [...]

Picky ears.

Nika Catbagan — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 20:28:00 +0000

I have so many mp3 players and I usually interchange my earbud headphones among my devices. I prefer using earbuds because my ears feel “hot” with the big noise canceling headphones that cover my head and ears fully. Right now I’m using the earbuds that came in with my iPod Touch. The problem with that [...]

I don’t like hospitals.

When we have family or friends confined in hospitals, I rarely visit them. It’s not that I don’t care, I’m just not comfortable in hospitals especially those that are too white and stoic. Plus hospitals make me think of expensive doctor’s fees, medicines and bland food. I’m glad I haven’t needed hospitalization this year, we [...]

Do you use coupons?

Nika Catbagan — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 19:12:58 +0000

I do. Some people think that using coupons is being to cheap but in my opinion it isn’t. Businesses use these coupons for a reason and that is to entice people to try their products at a discounted price (at times free) with hopes that we’ll like their products/services so we’ll be repeat customers. I’ve [...]

Re-thinking online schools.

Nika Catbagan — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 19:05:42 +0000

Everyone is having a hard time holding onto jobs these days. Even people with high educational attainments can get laid off and another individual who has something more to offer taken in for their position. I’ve always been attracted by online schools because I find it easier to fit into busy schedules than actual classes [...]

I’m alive!

Nika Catbagan — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 18:56:35 +0000

Barely. We finally overcame some of our financial problems for the past few months and we have a working internet connection. I also don’t feel as stressed and depressed as with the previous months and I feel ready to start anew. I still haven’t found a stable job but I am working on it with [...]

Moving on after the storm.

Nika Catbagan — Sun, 02 May 2010 16:47:18 +0000

The past few weeks have not been too good to me. However, I have started to move on and I’m starting to plan out what I will be doing next month. I’ll still try to launch a project I’ve been working on before this month and hopefully it becomes a success. Unfortunately, I have come [...]

Job hunting.

Nika Catbagan — Sat, 01 May 2010 16:48:18 +0000

I hope May would be a good month for me. I’m starting to refresh my resume and check out job portals to see if I can find anything that interests me. I’m thinking I can try the insurance industry for a little while where I can offer life insurance quotes or other types of insurance [...]

Moving up, RN to BSN online.

Nika Catbagan — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 13:50:55 +0000

March was a busy month for me and I was able to hear from old friends and classmates I haven’t talked to in a long while. It was nice to hear that most have finished their courses and are working already. I had some friends who are registered nurses but took associate degrees instead of [...]

Choices.

Nika Catbagan — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 21:08:54 +0000

I don’t have anything against rapid detox. For me is a person wants to try it as a means to jumpstart their path to going clean, I don’t mind. Each person has the right to choose for themselves and I think choosing to start going clean is a good choice. Everyone has their own way [...]
