love is all around???...how would you spend your valentines day??

deranged..

ive been having emotional episodes this past few days..

emotional attacks of disappointement...infatuation and stupidity..

why is there infatution that kills probable love on the spot???

why does people come all of a sudden and meet your expectations and leaves you empty handed?

why do we get envy when our past had become happy and youre not?

why do we feel insecure when they find a new one incomparible to you?

why??? why am i so stupid??..is it just like when i was i kid and start asking my dad and mom for things when i cant get it myself??its not..because first of all..im now mature..i think so..but in the end..ill always end up getting advices from my dad and mom and searching for a good shoulder to lean on...

tired and stressed out

WARNING: POSES ARE QUITE EXPLICIT

how to get off from tiredness and stress????

TAKE PICTURES....thanks leslie..

hehehe..

How to you manage stress???

fireworks

last night, me and my dear friends (fellow nursing students) went to mall of asia to watch the world pyrolympics..thanks to the god damn traffic that we ended up parking before we even reached the mall. but it was all worth it, i got to catch some vids and pics of the actual magnificent fireworks on my phone but i still cant upload it in my pc.....

anyway life is like fireworks..we have to feel every moment we see that magnificent color combination..treasure that memory forever for we are not sure what to expect next..enjoy and appreciate what we see that time...for like life, it is bounded by time..nature controlled..far from reach..and powerful.

like fireworks, lets enjoy every moment of our life..radiate our emotions and influence others..for we are not sure how long we are gonna last...

a christmas tale..(reposted)

a christmas tale(my christmas post)Thursday, December 22, 2005

It was the night two days before christmas, December 23rd five years after the millineum bug scared the world 2005, when the "Council of Legendary People" knew that SANTA CLAUS was diagnosed with acute tonsillitis due to the rampant dispersion of STREPTOCOCCUS bacteria in the north pole. Thus, he can't laugh in his usual christmas tone the all famous "HO HO HO, MERRY CHRISTMAS". It wouldn't just make any sense if he can't laugh with all his heart on that tone. We all know that it is one of the seasons most awaited things; eg. lights, christmas tree, gifts, angels. So there he was in his four pole bed covered with thick fur comforters suffering high fever with Mrs. Claus giving him a sponge bath and checking his temperature every hour. So the council, getting so much worried because it would be christmas eve tomorrow and all the presents for all the good boys and girls around he world are now ready to be delivered.

SO the council called an emergency meeting with its members:
1. Mother Nature-has no permanent address but you can text her.
2. Father Time- can be found in every clock, 24/7
3. Easter Rabbit- found in the Netherlands
4. The Tooth Fairy- a guy with a tooth factory underground, all you have to do is stump your foot six hundred and ninety one times to call him
5. Cupid- can be seen just flying around hopeless couples

So there they were perusing the resumes of possible SANTA CLAUS this year. Then they found this one interesting boy named JOT. Hehehe.. Mother Nature found it and presented it to the council. Jot is a 17 year old boy, turing 18 on the 4th of January, a sophomore student of De La Salle University. He used to believe that there was really a Santa Claus until he was older that he assumed like everybody else that it was their parents who put gifts into their Christmas stockings. But really, he used to believe that there is this fat crazy man in red and white who travels around the world to give presents.
On the other hand, Jot who lives in the Philippines near the equator in the Tropic of Cancer was gazing in the heavens for no apparent reasons at all. He was getting crazy because of the nonstop carols of the children in the streets when he felt weird. He didnt hear any out of tune songs anymore, nor get distracted by the blinking of the light. He was sure that the time stopped. And yes he was correct. The council appeared before him with their great smiles, courtesy of the TOOTH FAIRY. Mother Nature explained to him what happened and was asking him a favor, to help the elves distribute the presents. Of, course not by him alone. So with glee and enthusiasm, he agreed and they went to the NORTH POLE, where he was asked to wear a trendy and coño cloak. Hehehe..He was totally amazed on the sight. It's not what the world have portrayed a Toy factory would be, its very magnificent and unbelievable. First there were train stations where elves come down carrying their bags and cases. Then a track of roping train tracks everywhere, speeding in the speed of light. Then as they go in, the factory was like an igloo, but so gigantic that king kong could live. It is made of glass and was decorated with colorful lights and trees around it. There were angels roaming around the air. Inside you could find sets of reindeers, all the same practcing their air stunts. Yes, Santa uses differnt sets every year..The set that wins the year's reindeer exhibition show gets to be with Santa on christmas eve. Then all the elves has a wand along with them, charming toys so that it would be very beautiful and pass the CHRISTMAS standards...Jot was nonchalantly being toured by the Council..Father Time as the tour guide..He was nonchalant as always..Then they arrive at Santa's office..a huge room with tellies all over..each for every kid aroubnd the world..so there were millions of tellies all over. Ecah telly is monitored by an elf, each equipped with a parchment and a feather pen...North Pole is really techie, Jot thought..Then all of a sudden..They heard a loud knocking..He was so sure that it wasnt part of the north pole...ice was breaking..tellies were breaking and everyone was panicking..and He heard it..jot jot jot!!!..it was her tita..ate maribel..leaving and saying goodbye..and he was awoken in his christmas dream...hehehe

highschool superstars!

last night me and my high school friends got together for a "parang christmas party" inuman..hosted by adel, the one in pink glasses..

its been 3 years since we got together like this..and we really missed each others company..the best part of this was, we got to reminisce our HS life..just some of the topics we talked about and im sure you'll also have a similar experience back when you were still in HS:

-teachers..from our GOD DAMN IT male teacher, commandant, 1week strike of our teachers to our section, furious teachers because of our so called "unbecoming" daw, punishments we received, arguing with them and ending up with a "SHUT UP MR.tooot" ...

-exams that we failed, passed, aced and took

-gossips about former classmates and teachers..hahaha

-COCC!!!!...one thing we all hate..from that roll to the left, roll to the right, to that carry the earth and slap you mouth 10x, to rebellion against officers, cor commander and commandant, criticism on how they execute commands

-porn movies weve watched...porn mags weve seen

adel,egy,jen,me,cez and maemae

-before we started the inuman.. most of us have changed since HS..from our points of views, clothes, vices etc etc etc..

adel, egy, me, crizel??, mae, cez and christian..

-compliments to adel's drinks, lady's adobo, cez/jen/adel's sioma at lumpia, and egy's pork sisig..at may pahabol pa..RICE..hahaha

egy, me, mae

cez and me

-i just knew last night that she had her tongue pierced..cool..

knyck, mich (inner portion) roi and egy (outer portion)

jen, me

egy cez jen

-after the inuman..hahaha..

even though were in separate places now, study in different schools and meet not that often..the memories of the past would always make me smile and would be treasured forever..

who said high school life isn't the best part of your educatioal career??

im back!!!!!...

first..im back..again im in the mood for endless blogging..ive missed blogging and bloghopping...

2nd..
ladies and gentlemen...my RLE GROUPMATES...GROUP 1

our no sweat pose

-why we did this? "say no to underarm sweat during community duty"..our uniform is so prone to sweat...the slightest heat would make a preschool wet stain on your underarm..RULE #1: raise your arm always and bring a fan with you! or just pray that the health center is airconditioned

our telenovela pose...

-we really love this picture..clang and rovie was supposedly the star of the telenovela but it turned out that me and guia got more of the camera's attention..hahaha. were supposed to be the couple's couple friend. im not sure about the roles of the others..but we did have a role in this picture..

emotion-less snapshot..

-i edited it..hahaha..to make it more realistic..BW of our "ha?" pose..

it was during one of our usual and "got used to it community duty" when we decided to goof around the cam while waiting for our ever dearest CI..being cam bitches...yeah were officially the bitches group.(we call each other bitch..hahaha).we posed immediately while nonchalant to the students and people walking by..thanks to our manong driver who took the gorgeous pictures..

on blog leave....

...due to some inevitable circumstances...i'll be on blog leave.....ill miss blogging...be back soon/..

DNR

what would you do if you were asked by the Dr to sign the DNR (do not resuscitate) form?


i had a patient, a lola of 73 who suffered from hemorrhagic stroke and was stupurous, she had O2 via facial mask and was unresponsive. Stupurous, its like a deep sleep, not coma but the 4th stage of consciousness if im not mistaken. Coma is the 5th. Pain sensation is still present and little corneal reflex are also present. I asked the clerk what the results of her corneal checking was, brushing the tip of a cotton to the cornea to see if it reacts to pain, and she said that the LEFT eye is the only one responding. For my case study and assessment i tried to press her nails to see if shes gonna withdraw, another type of test for cosciousness) but i failed because i just cant press much harder so i asked my classmate to do it, and YES she withdrew her hands slightly. The next day, i saw that they have signed the DNR form, the husband actually, and saw that her BP that night was just 50/pap and she was given dopamine to increase it. when you auscultate her apical pulse, it cant be heard, and her radial pulse is also weak. she was intubated and was basically living through ambubagging. by the time i left, her BP was 70/pap and was still deteriorating.

how would you deal with this situation?? would you sign the DNR form???

early christmas...

inspired from one of my blogmates photo blog, isko, i tried to capture this pathetic photo while i was waiting for my cousin to leave electronic shock at 4th floor robinsons imus..he was watching eat bulaga there and theres nothing that i can do to make him leave the store...

...i was fascinated with the lights and their grandiose stall..full of lanterns and star shaped parols..is it too early to feel the christmas spirit in the air??...hhhmmm..halloween fever has not yet ended and the halloween trick or treat havent started either..i have not decided what notebook to use next week..have not bought any pens yet...the 2nd sem havent started..its not even november yet...ewan nga ba...wala pa nga akong christmas list eh......kayo??? ready for christmas na ba???

reality vs TV

as a nursing student, i take pride on my chosen career and seeing the actors play a nurse role and acts contrary to reality gets me agitated to the fullest...i know other professionals also feel the same when they see things on TV which is not really the nature of their job. here are some:

! i saw this on maynila last sunday...female nursing students on the show doesnt wear a hairnet and just have the LUGAY hair..which is one SUBSTANTIAL rule of nursing..always tie your hair and wear a hairnet..you dont want hairs falling while your assisting on an operation...and it can get contaminated and be the carrier of microorganisms..

! white shoes' hills should only be an inch high...not the wedge type..

! you dont tell your patient to write down their complains. you ask them instead and observe them. thats what nurses are taught, to observe patients so that they can get their nursing cues..and assess them in the end

nainins lang ako..hehehe..

tara tena!

morning serenity...

Yahoo! Time Capsule project..

would you like the future generation to see how "would be primitive" our world today???
would you want them to idolize the fashion, and be called vintage???
how the people talk and look like????
...........if yes,

YAHOO! has the answer....with their Yahoo time capsule project the future generation would be able to see us...read about us....idolize us...hahaha..im encouraging you to take part in it..just upload your photos, posts or video and and the future gen would see you some ten or 20 years from now...

nostalgia

how ofetn do you get nostalgic??? how often does your memory works in reminiscing the unforgettable past?..how do you deal with it?....

...i cant say that im a sentimental and an emotional person..but often times, i would get lonely or inspired or happy whenever i see something or hear something..most of the times i get envy..i mis some people..i miss the things that we usually do..i envy them because i want to have something like that..but after a few minutes i would realize that these thing are made to be very plausible..and that its not always happening..(sigh)

retake or nt?

As a junior nursing student and a future board examineeI am concerned with the 2006 board exam issue. The government is utterly concerned with the integrity of the country’s nursing profession but what I am wondering is why just now? Why the 2006 nursing board licensure exam?

1. Sa dinami dami ng mga anomalya na nangyayari sa Pilipinas bakit itong board exam na ito? Ang swerte nga naman nila ano, jam packed ng intriga ang batch nila. Pero bakit hindi ang mga anomalya daw noong last election? Hindi ba na ang integrity of our country;s honesty in terms of leadership ay ang nakasalala? Ang daang taong pakikipaglaban ng ating mga bayani ay mawawalan ng saysay kung sa ating panahon ay papabayaan natin magkaroon ng pandaraya at paglabag sa batas? Ngunit ang issue na iyon ay nawala na lang kahit na marami ang patuloy na tumutuligsa sa mga leader ngayon!
2. Sabi nga sa news its is impractical! Absurd! Bakit pa uulit eh kung sa scoring naman ay excluded na ang test 3 and 5 (which are the parts believed that leaked out)..kung nakapasa sila eh di pasado na. naging fair na naman sa pag count ng score.
3. Living in a third world country, our priorities should be set at their best..Marami na nga utang ang Pilipinas eh sasayangin pa instead of just spending it in a more productive way. Sobra nilang pinagtutuunan ng pansin ang leakage na yan, eh bakit ang election hindi nila ma computerize? Hindi ba nila naisip na sa gagastosin diyan eh magagamit sa iba pang projects na pakikinabangan ng mas nakakarami?!
4. Sobrang hassle for the examinees..Review ulit…Anxiety to the max ulit..at katakot takot na application ulit..Effort diba..Hndi dapat examiners ang magshoulder ng eefort kung hindi ang exam giving body\!
5. Sino ba ang may kasalanan?! Sa dami dami ng mga nagtatake taon taon at sa tagl tagl ng pagbibigay ng exam ng mga yan eh bakit nagpapabaya pa din sila?! Alam nilang kinabukasan ng iba ang nakasalalay dito, tapos pag kumalat mga examinees sisisihin!..Ang mga reviewers/examinees ay walang kasalanan. You enroll in an institution thinking that they have the best of what you need and not because they have what you are gonna face. Alam ba nila in the first place na exam questions na ang nirereview nila?1 I assume that they do not! If they do, the news would spread like a fire and for sure wala na nang mageenroll sa ibang review centers kung alam nila na board questions na ang rereviewhin nila. Dapat mga exam giving body ang magsuffer not the examinees. It is the carelessness of the examiners that should be dealt with.

Kayo what do you think? Retake or No retake?!..this is just my opinion...

"units of blood"

a unit of blood can be life saving..some pain from the needle puncture can help save some lives...its our last day of our community duty yesterday and it so happen that they have their annual blood letting activity. the PHN encouraged us to save lives..donate some blood..refresh our system...i really want to donate blood but the problem is im afraid of needles...hahaha..i dont like sharp objects especially needles either. it was last wednesday when we knew about it...so right there we were screened, not our blood yet but our weight, health and BP..i was really anticipating the pain and was kinda tachycardiac and diaphoretic...then friday came...we arrived as usual a little late and was shocked because there are so many people there..after getting the VS of some people..we had our VS taken..and got interviewed and lined up..we were waiting for our turn for almost an hour...the blood letting per se lasts for about 5 minutes and youre supposed to lie down for the next 10-15 mins..i was preparing my antecubital area for the venipuncture...i placed my cold coke in it and believing that it could somehow decrease the pain. but when its my turn, the medtech told me that my vein that i was preparing is thin so she has to use my other arm..WAAAHHHH..i asked what gauge the needle is..and was shocked..gauge 16..the needle that is used for IM injection is gauge 24...ehdi yun..nakuha na ang isang bag ng dugo sa akin..medyo nanghihina after but its okay...i got a free shirt..i donated blood pin..blood assurance card and free snacks...and most importantly im gonna help someone with that450 ml of blood..

-the maximum amount of blood that can be donated is 450ml..higher thatn that can cause complications.

-donating blood can refresh your blood system..the old RBC's would be replaced..

-it causes great satisfaction afterwards.

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??!!! MAGDONATE KANA!!

why dont these photos make the news??

ive been seeing photos like this before but its just now that i took value of them. im not sure if the war in iraq had already ended but seeing photos like this amkes me realize the sacrifice these soldiers made in order to save the majority. diverting their attention into a more serene one other than the war itself...may GOD bless these people and all the people who works for mankind with their life at risk.

devil wears prada...angels wear DG....

i saw devil wears prada yesterday...i was really frustrated on seeing it because last week i bought a dvd but was so pissed off because it wouldnt play. so i bought another..anyway...i was planning on buying the book before..but decided to watch the movie instead..it was a good movie..lots of funny, interesting, frustrating and "oh" scenes..anne could be one of the models..hhhmmm..watch niyo din,,,

i passed!

hahaha..God is so good..i failed 2/3 quizzes..its really hard you know, but i just losed 2 points for my midterm grade in pharmacology..hahaha..really, i hate anti cancer drugs...!

ward exp....

-my Ci told me to do blood transfusion to one patient, its not my patient though...she was on a semi private room and enjoys it until a lola was admitted for some respi problems.then when i checked my patient's blood bag, this lola told me if i could turn off her O2 because she cant properly eat, to tell the staff that she wants a room transfer, that the room has many defects, that she doesnt want to be there coz theres no curtain and partitions and that the door is not opening properly...excessive demands should be on the nursing dignosis list stat!

-"dont you know that we both belong baby!"..hahaha..our favorite song..never fails to bond our group during free times, all the time and everywhere...weve done varieties of this song..one time rovi told us to sing that song from the lowest to the highest note. we never really met our objective but managed to get PIYOK all the time.

-sometimes being a nurse/nursing student/staff/medical staff makes you decoders most of the time..the drs penmanship are quite illegible,its like guessing whats this and that especially if your new in the area. i always ask my CI what those writings meant, its not that i dont know them, i just cant understand them
