The Television shows I love to watch during my childhood and teenage days

What I love about in my younger years is that I was able to enjoy the tv programs that were really intended for the kids my age at that time. I enjoyed every moment of it. It is very nostalgic to have seen the videos of my favorite shows back in my childhood and teenage years on the net, it really brings back my wonderful memories.

When I was a kid the shows I love to watch were the local shows here like Hiraya Manawari and Bayani, I never missed the episodes of these shows every saturday morning. I also love watching Batibot, Sailor Moon,Sarah ang munting prinsesa, the tagalized version and the all-time favorites Cinderella and Snow white. The Dog of Flanders made me cry. I feel like I am in every adventures of "Peter Pan".I also love watching "The Simpsons", X-Men, Ang Tv, which is one of the most watched kiddie shows of all time, I think. At that time, it was a dream of every kids to be a part of this famous kiddie show. I also like watching, The Flames, Gimik, Tgis which were the most famous youth-oriented shows in the Philippines during the 90's. These are some of my favorite tv programs in my childhood days.

During my teenage years, I enjoyed watching Tabing-Ilog which runs for 4 years in the television scene and remained unbeatable during those years. My all-time favorite Meteor Garden, that took the Phlippines by storm in 2003.That made it to the list of most highest rated show in the Philippines of all-time. Everybody was  hooked by the love story of Shan Cai and Dao Ming So, Oh my gosh, I really miss the show. It was played by Jerry Yan and Barbie Xu, the Taiwanese superstars.

These are the list of my favorite shows back in my childhood and teenage years. I know most people would agree and would say that some of my lists were also their favorites.

What I missed most during my childhood days

Childhood is one of the most memorable stages of our journey through life. What I missed most during those days? I must say, Everything! I miss the time when my only concerns were to go to school, make my assignments when I got home, playing with other kids. I miss the innocence of being a child. When you don't have to worry about the future and when you care only of what is your  present.
You are looking forward to wake up each day to watch your favorite shows or cartoons on boob tube, and by just doing this stuffs,surely it will make your day complete. I miss those days when simple things make me happy and bring joy into my life. I miss everything about my childhood, like simple gifts that make me smile, a simple hug and a lullaby from my mother that would make me fall asleep.

What I missed about childhood is that when you don't have to deal with major problems in life since your mother is always there to protect you, for the reason that those things were just so petty  that can be easily solved by our loving mother.

Hence, I can say that I enjoyed every single day of my childhood that is why I missed it very much.

Being a registered nurse in the Philippines

I took the nurse licensure exam last 2 years ago, June 2008 and fortunately  passed the exam. The feeling of happiness is indescribable when I saw my name on the lists of passers. I'm really ecstatic to tell my parents about it  since this was my dream and the dream of my family as well,  they are the ones who worked hard  just to send us in school.

Back in college, My goal were to finish my studies and to be a registered nurse someday. When I graduated and finally, the time to take the nurse licensure exam , I gave my 100% to it. I invested a lot of time for it. When I found out that I did pass, I said to myself , this  might be the time that I could  repay my parents for the love and support they have rendered me .

After a month, I immediately went to PRC to register and  eventually get my license.I was really excited then to practice my profession. At that time I am just so overwhelmed with what I have accomplished and I am really looking forward to submitting my application and eventually land a job as a staff nurse, without knowing what the real situation is . At that time, I thought it will be that easy since I am a Registered nurse already. But it did not turn out to be that smooth. I am just wondering why after almost a year of submitting applications to hospitals, I received no response from them, but there were few stating that they turned down my application due to numerous applicants. It was so frustrating to hear this. I thought having a license will serve as a ticket for me in having decent job in a hospital.Then I realized the painful part that these days, we will be having a very hard time looking for a "real" job  in any hospital since our country has oversupply of nurses already but there are limited jobs available for us . As days go by, I realized what the painful truth is, that most nurses nowadays pay hospitals a huge amount of money for the training just to earn an experience.

So I followed what the trend was and decided to apply as a volunteer nurse in an ambulatory hospital. After 4 months of waiting, finally,my application got approved and the said training lasted for 5 months. The saddest part of being a nurse in the Philippines is that you are working so hard and yet not receiving even a single centavo from your hard work.

We don't deserve to go through all these, we are professionals and we absolutely deserve to have a decent job and be paid for every single thing that we do. If  I could only turn back time, I would really think a million times if I have to take this course. But for now, I need to be optimistic ,and patiently wait for the best thing that God has in store for me, I am sure He has. I do hope that the government will hear our voices, and eventually help us in landing a "real" job in the hospitals that we all deserve.
