Kay! So you all know the many posts I posted up about me being stressed and everything about taking the exam called the "TEAS" b/c I failed it once and had only one more try to pass it. This is basically the ENTRANCE EXAM for the nursing school. I'm already in the nursing program.. however, it's just pre-req classes and things like that, and then i'm ready to transfer to the nursing school!

Okay, anyways.. about the TEAS.. I took it today as my last TRY, and guess whaaattt!! I PASSED! I got a pretty good score on it too! I'm just so happy I got that over with!! Man, God is soo GOOD! I put my whole trust and faith into him.. and everything just came together as he planned it to be. One strange but GOOD thing about what happened today during my exam, was that the website we were taking the exam in had GLITCHES! Meaning that there were errors and the server wasn't acting right.. So, on most parts of the test It would have us start all over n re-do the questions.. which was sort of annoying.. but the great part is that it gave us more time!! TIME is really precious during that exam.. and I not once ran out of time. LOL!!

On the other hand... I have a Physio test to study for on MONDAY! DARN never-ending stress this week-end. grrr!!!! I need to pass Physio with a B- in order to go on to the nursing program.. that's another catch.. aHH! anyways.. after I post a few blog posts ima get to studying! NAWWMSAyIn'!

Thank you all for those who supported me and prayed for me :D you all are the BEST!

I went over to my local target to pick up the Loreal Infallible Never Fail Lipcolour. I wanted to initally get the color in Beyonce, which is the red color, but it was out of stock :/ Instead, I got the one in Cerise & Linda's Beige. Each of these lipglosses were $9, which is not bad considering that they last super long on your lips!!!

I haven't actually tried wearing them for a full day yet, but after I applied it on, i kept rubbing my lips and the color would not come off. That was just amazing to me! But read the instructions before you use it. Make sure your lips are free from any kind of moisture and are just clean and bare. No lip liner needed either. The tip of the brush is pretty pointy which allows for precision when applying the gloss. After waiting for 2 minutes for the product to dry, you can either apply another coat for extra color, or put on the gloss. The gloss totally tops it off. That's when the moisture and shine comes in. Before the gloss, it feels sticky n dry.











Tissue testing..


Nothing at all! I swear to u!


I used this to remove the lipgloss.. it says to use an oil-based makeup remover.. idk if the was oil base but it worked. lol


Cerise


With this color, it looked rather dark pinkish.. The container looked bright red.. so I was a bit disappointed with the color b/c it did not match the gloss container.. oh well, it's not a bad color, it just wasn't the color I was expecting.



Overall, I think these glosses are must have! Esp. for special occasions where you'll be occupied for the rest of the day. You won't even need to touch up with your lips! Which is a cool thing!

Aside from these glosses I purchased a lip moisturized by neutrogena.


My lips get really chapped.. like extremely chapped.. ughh I hate it. So I wanted to try this out. I was going to get the over night moisture one.. but I'm thinking about getting that next time..

For the weekend..

CPR certified, girl i gotchu! lol!


This morning I attended a CPR class for health care providers in San Ramon. It's a requirement for transferring over to the nursing school in the Spring, and therefore I had to get it done b/c all the forms and everything are due in October. I don't understand why they won't let us do it the semester that we transfer b/c it expires in 2 years.. and I'm going to have to renew in my last semester there.. :/

Anyhoo, the place I went to was HEARTSTART CPR. link is HEARTSTARTCPR.NET
I left pretty early from Oakland b/c i didn't know if there was going to be traffic on the way.. So I left around 7:45am ish and got there around 8:20. LOL! the class started at 9. It was rather tricky finding this place bc you have to really go in the street to find it.. but It wasn't too bad. The class wasn't actually as long as i thought it would be. we started around 9:10 and it ended around 11:50.

The instructor, whose name is David, was really great. He was humorous and made the class go by really quickly. That's a plus for me b/c I like things that are straight to the point and important things we needed to know. After watching a few videos and practicing along with the videos with the dummies, we then took the test. It was a 20 questions test which wasn't too hard and we were allowed to only miss 3. However, we correct the test at the end and we can change our answers. To him, he said the test doesn't really matter, but what does matter is the skills part. As long as he saw us doing the procedures, that's all that matters. Then after the class we instantly received our cards, which was so convenient! I think there was only seven of us who attended that day, and I was the youngest one.. lol!! It was pretty interesting and fun, then I headed back home to Stockton.

(I really recommend this class b/c they were very nice and it wasn't boring at all.. the class went by pretty quickly and we got out cards that same day. price is $60)

I was so happy to come back home.. I got to see my boyfriend :D that really made my day, and made me more relaxed. Seeing him after a stressful week is so relaxing!! Next week is going to be even more stressful and I wont be home until Saturday which is the day of my Teas.. -__- so scared.. we'll see..

My boyfriend and I just hung out and bout some food lol! Sonics, Wendy's, Mcdonalds sweet tea, you know all the unhealthy things! and we napped together afterwards.. Which felt really really nice :D I love him terribly much! After we woke up from our nap, all of a sudden all the electricity went out! it was around 9:30pm ish. It was out for a good 2 hours and went back on around 11:15 i think? I was just glad the toiled did not require any electricity! This makes me really want to consider getting SOLAR POWER!! It's eco friendly, and you wouldn't be stuck in a situation like that.

And I dropped my boyfriend off and that was basically the rest of the night!! here are some pictures..

Foot long coney, happy hour drinks: Blue powerade & strawberry limeade




Chili & 99cent Spicy Chicken Nuggets.




Taking pictures of him during the "black out"


Street lights came back on

Class was canceled last Wednesday, and it was perfect timing too b/c Manang Gina which is my older cousin invited me to have dinner with her and her husband in Oakland. They bother lived in Oakland for about 3 years I think? So, they just wanted to take me out and show me places that were good and stuff. I've been in Oakland for like 2 years now b/c of college, and I have yet to actually explore the place. Usually too busy.. or didnt know where things were and just ventured out to Emeryville or Berkeley.

So they picked me up and took me to a little mom and pop shop restaurant called the Venetian Cafe. That restaurant was just right down the street from where I LIVE! It was so near! It's a little restaurant they've been going to for a while. The restaurant is a Laos, Thai & Vietnamese restaurant. My cousin just warned me not to come there by myself or at night time by myself.. yikes.. It was a really good place for authentic food! mmmm!! La la la love it! My cousin and he husband now live in Fremont, and they say they come all the way back to Oakland just to go there.

Afterwards they took me around Lake Merritt which was just GORGEOUS! and downtown Oakland. I was so pissed that I forgot my camera back at home!!! >:(. We went at night time and all the lights were up and there was also a GONDOLA ride.. heheh that was cute!! We walked around Jack London Square. There were a lot of nice places in Oakland that i've never thought would be there. You just have to explore and keep an open mind. There were showing me a ton of great restaurants.  Here are a few pictures from my iphone.. :/ lol yeahh.. my iphone.....

Here was some of our food. That fried rice thing.. i forgot what it was called was super bombing! you wrap it up in a lettuce leaf. The papaya salad was good to, however it was hella damn spicy!
