Nostalgia

i felt a bittersweet feeling na naman when we went to Phil Gen (Philippine General Hospital) last March 23. bumalik na naman lahat ng alaala. haha. but anyways, i am happy where i am now. Let me tell you one's own feeling to the largest hospital in the Philippines - the Philippine General Hospital. actually, to be a nurse, working in Phil Gen is a fulfillment to everyone. it's a different feeling working there. It is not common to everyone that working there isn't really easy. since it is a service to humanity and it is no question that 60-75% of the total population of the Philippines is beyond poverty line, money is a big issue. Phil Gen has 5000 bed capacity and most who are admitted are from poor families. most really doesn't have money to even buy a urine or suction catheter. and instead of renting a mechanical ventilator, may just use a human humidifier - a manual ambubagging to support breathing. and so as a nurse, you have to be resourceful and smart to think of...

Relieved

Finally thesis work is partially over. haha. yeah, partially. since our thesis proposal has been approved, we can already start conducting a more intesive research. Chapters IV and V are the ones still to be added and i will conduct it this summer. we have received minimal corrections and i really feel fulfilled since i am the only one who worked hard for it. i am happy to say that it is only a word from the title that was suggested to be changed by the panel of judges. from: Effects of Personal and Lifestyle-related variables to hypertensive clients, they changed it to: Relationship of Personal and Lifestyle-related profiles to hypertensive clients. haha. i asked the prestigious panel of judges if i can use Correlates instead of "Relationship" since they are synanymous with one another and the word correlates has a great impact and seems like really a research but they suggested us to use relationship still since we are just beginners. haha. our school has received much comp...

missing my ipod

i entered 2007 without my ipod. it was lost. i know i forgot it in a restaurant where me and my friends ate. but it was late when i noticed i don't have my ipod with me. january came, i thought everything will be alright. our business is good, my academics is quite impressive, and my friends are still there. our business has released a newly designed mp3 as a promotional product. there are excess 5,000 copies which several numbers were already reserved but then i decided to get one. i uploaded minimal songs i like because it is only 256mb in size unlike my 30gb ipod where i can upload as many songs as i want. i replaced the headset of our mp3 promotional product with an original sony headset given by my grandma some years ago. the pm3 design is unque for it is an original design and no one has it because it will only be released this March 2007 as a Hotta Summer Promo. i do not know what happened but one day in my hospital duty in Pediatric department, i decided to left my mp3 in m...

Lost

kanina, we weren't in school. we were in a baranggay in Bulacan, Bulacan for the completion of our Community Diagnosis. yeah, it's already late and perhaps the Community Participation of our class in partial fulfillment of the requirements in Community Health Nursing will be implemented this late summer. i am late. i arrived at 8.30am where supposedly i have to arrive at 8am. i sorta blame someone (but not really) for not preparing the food i will eat for lunch in the community. immediately affter i arrive at Bulacan, Bulacan, i searched for my classmetes especially mypartner. even if i am not feeling good for almost 3 days, still i go to the community because of my partner. she will have no assistance if i will leave and take a rest due to my medical condition. i was surprised when they told me, "ei, individual na daw para mabilis ung survey". the community survey (some kind of census) is made of 8-page questionnaire. it will take long to survey the remaining 400 pop...

Dying

i thought, it will be one of my last days on earth when i experienced chest pain. haha. yeah. what i experienced is indeed very different from ordianry signs and symptoms of asthma where i usually hyperventilate and experiences shortness of breath. it's my cardio that needs to be attended this time. i hate the way summer starts. the immediate shifting of environmental temperature and all. it affects my health status and my being. siguro, i need not to blame the environmental factor alone. i also received a handful of stress plus anger feelings where it increases my risk of having it again. i remember, it was the same month last year when i felt the same feeling. a feeling like dying. nasabi ko tuloy, "Lord, don't get me yet. i am not yet ready. 1 year na lang makakatapos na ako. hayaan niyo namang makatulong at mapasaya ko ang mga magulang ko". i am always living my day as if it's my last. but that moment changed it. i don't wanna die yet. i don't blame an...

Sense of Blogging: Why do I Blog?

BLOG: a user generated website made as journal. often provide commentary or news on prticular subject; also function as personal online diary Recently, blogs have become very popular. almost everyone who knows how to use an internet has a blog. i am happy but then sad because of the fast growing population. the term blog has been out of use. why do i blog? In contrary with what the people know, i am an introvert person. yeah, i have friends, but, i find it hard to express my personal feelings. i am this not so serious type of person who talk about a lot of stuff except my personal life. why? i do not know. maybe because i just want to put some privacy and i don't want to feel so important to i have to lend their attention the moment i start talking. i am a good listener and perhaps a good adviser too but definitely not a good speaker. i prefer working alone. i don't mean to isolate myself but i want to meet my standards. i dont mean to make insult or what but i just hate it whe...

after the events

Now i better understand why we are called "the positives" and the other side negative. It is not because we are always perfect. that we are greater than them. it has never been an issue if we are in top section. what matters is we are open to change. we take chances to learn and to be better persons. Competence is never a big thing in college that's why i wonder why there are people who keep in competing with one another. Sometimes, we have to remember our businesses for us not to mind which is not ours. life isn't unfair. it's a wrong concept to say that life is unfair. we all started with nothing. we just forget to appreciate what we have that's why we keep on living with insecurities. by the way, envy rooted insecurities. Envy is one of the deadliest sin on earth. We are all receiving a handful of stress so how dare you tell that ours is lighter than yours? Justify your mean before having such act. A Christian friend told: "Kung gaganti tayo, wala tayo...
