Luvin' Jdrama 01

I just recently finished watching "Gokusen Season 2" and "Proposal Daisakusen" and I loved it (am still waiting for my friend to return my copy of "Ichi Rittoru No Namida / One litre of Tears" to finish that as well). Much as I would like to buy the soundtracks, I can't find them in the local music shops. I opted then to download the OST from the internet... uwaaaah... :(

"Proposal Daisakusen" or "Operation Love" basically talks about the "what if's" and "second chances" in life, most especially in relationships. The main character was given a chance to try and change his relationship with the girl of his dreams. The drama opens with the girl being married... to their high school teacher. The two main characters were played by Yamashita "YamaPi" Tomohisa of the Jpop group NEWS and Nagasawa Masami from the movie "Crying Out Love from the Center of the Earth"

Yamaguchi "Yankumi" Kumiko returns for yet another season of the highly-addictive "Gokusen". In the second installment of this drama, Yankumi is "accidentally" hired by Shirokin Gakuen for their class of delinquents "3-D". Once again, Yankumi shifts to her "battle-mode" to fight those who hurt her "kawaii" students. Kamenashi Kazuya and Akinishi Jin from the Jpop group KAT-TUN and Koike Teppei from the duo WaT are part of the main characters of the drama.

Drama is literally seen in the series "Ichi Rittoru No Namida" or "One Litre of Tears". I cried my eyes out for the girl, whose life was snuffed out too early, just when she was beginning to enter a very exciting part of her life... high school... Teen idol Sawajiri Erika and Nishikido Ryo of the Jpop group NEWS are the main characters in this drama.

Advice for Job Applications

As a newly registered nurse myself, I'd like to help my colleagues in their job applications. Here are some tips:

> Have all of your documents photocopied. Employers usually don't ask for the original ones when you are still applying for a job, but once you are employed, that is the only time that you'll give the originals or certified true copies.

> For hospital applications: try calling the hospital first and ask if they have job openings. This would save you a lot of time and money going to all these various hospitals.

> When you've called a hospital and found that there's a job opening, try asking what are the requirements for the job. That way, once you pass your requirements, you would not be missing one or two documents.

> Bring ID pictures of different sizes (1x1, 2x2, passport). There are some employers who would ask for pictures other than the one printed in the resume. There are also some who have specific requirements for the pictures, e.g. the color of the background

> When completing your requirements from your school, if you have money, it would be best if you process all of it in one go. Some schools have very long processing days for the documents.

Hopefully, this tips will help ease your way in applying for a job as a nurse.
