"Sydney Rory Alvarez, RN." I posted an update on my IG account

hi.impoorsh: wow registered na!

aresrie: what does "RN" mean?

hi.impoorsh: RN meaning n'yan, Registered Na, okay?

nianikola: mga 8080 ampota

jaysononig: pa-ayos nga ng washing machine namin kung RN na ba talaga

@mattpogi: dahil dyan sa post mo, meron kang hanabishi appliances at meron ka pang libreng semento mula sa republic cement (tibay mula sa loob) pwede ka pang mag karoon ng bahay mula sa lumina homes at meron ka pang bagong suzuki raider galing sa motor trade (motorsiklo sigurado alaga ka dito) at may 10,000 ka pa mula sa villarica pawnshop at libreng byahe mula sa 2GO travels at di makukumpleto yan kapag hindi kasama ang malamig na malamig at masarap na coca cola!

I sighed as I scrolled down, sinasabi ko na nga ba! They are my friends, my comfort to be exact.

I replied to poorsha, she's my elementary 'til college friend, actually they are all my elementary until college friends HAHAHAHA until now, kasawa na nga mga mukha ng mga taong 'to eh.

sralvarez: naols siraulo

And followed by my relatives and friends comments

natshaalvarez: Congratulations darling, I knew you can do it! I miss you a lot cry cry

sralvarez: Thanks, mom. Miss yoo too. See u soon

Albèrtalvarezpogi: Naks naman ng nars namen, pa tingin nga ng dugo ko kung type ba ako ng mami mo ×D

sralvarez: Yuck. Kaya siguro febuary birthmonth mo dad kasi kulang ka sa pansin! Jesting, miss u dy see youn't.

Alvèrtalvarezpogi: Likewise anak, pakabait ka jan, 'wag jowain mga doktor

I just liked his reply. My dad has the mess-up humor of all time. He's my mom's opposite by the way.

Clock rotating like someone is chasing it! Time passes by quickly! Parang kailan lang intern pa ako, ngayon registered nurse na ako!

Six months na rin pala ang nakalipas.... Napa-isip tuloy ako kung mag sisimula na ba akong mag trabaho, gusto kasi ni mommy sa overseas ako mag trabaho, eh di ko naman maiwan mga kaibigan ko rito sa Pinas.

"Darling, have you already made up your mind? Is it final na ba, anak? You know there's a lot of opportunities here abroad. Don't get me wrong, okay? Philippines is such a nice country, but you know US differ a lot." Bungad ni mommy sa ipad ko habang nag-v-vc kami.

"Kung ano lang ang gusto mo anak, 'yon ang sundin mo, basta lagi mong tandaan, walang itlog kung walang manok!" Dad interrupted us.

Gustong-gusto ko ang personality ni dad, lumaki kasi siyang sakto lang ang pamumuhay at na experience niya talaga ang typical filipino childhood. Unlike mom, her father is a Doctor who owns one of the best hospitals in the Philippines. And my mom's mother, she's a Pediatrician, she also own a small clinic reason why she met mom's dad.

My dad became a doctor because of his intelligence. He's a scholar way back in his student era, alangan naman kung ngayon siya naging scholar, diba?

Meaning to say, I came from a family that professions are related to medical. That's also the reason why my mother wants me to pursue any medical related course when I was in college. Truth is, I want to take up engineering, but I don't want to disappoint my mother. She really wants me to take nursing, and as a masunoring anak, registered nurse na ako ngayon.
