pardon to the nation

the recent ERAP pardon has not sunk into my mind until this morning when i read yesterdays sunday broadsheets.

i would agree with patricia evangelista that "this pardon doesn't mean stability, or healing, or justice. It is Estrada's middle finger shoved up the country's collective consciousness, but it's happened so often that it feels almost normal".

the country's law makers, the leaders and the law itself was overpowered by the selfish will of a big time social criminal!! there are thousands of criminals (accussed and proven guilty) who are imprisoned in low class prison jails, most often, when proven guilty, being humane and caring is forgotten. ordinary lawbreakers satisfy themselves with overflowing lugaw, harsh treatment, unsanitary restrooms, jampacked cells, cold and wet floors and the worst retribution that can be given to a criminal. take note that they somehow experience this all regardless of the gravity and extent of their crime, from robbery to murder, from physical abuse to rape. and here comes mr. estrada, proven by the highest court in the country in the eyes of all it's people, sitting and enjoying a "simple life" in his tanay home. i daresay that it wasnt even a detention!

how in your proper mind and without any internal arrangement would you give presidential pardon to someone who showered himself with the money of the nation while millions of the pinoys are thinking where to get there next meal or if they would survive tomorrow. what came into the mind of our president to grant him that pardon that is tantamount to taking forgranted the crimes that he have done. the law applies to everyone no matter what. but the law fails to cover the high ends of the society. those that approves and makes it are now excused. how come a proven guilty criminal with not just one criminal case did not suffer like those in city jail and muntinlupa jail and those that is guilty with physical abuse suffers like hell?

what is the cost of JUSTICE in the Philippines?

it is degrading to think that the bloodstained land of our country is the nest of unjust and incompetent law people.
that the people we expect to give proper punishements would just paperdolls and followers of their hailed hero.
it is a slap in the faces of the parents of those littlekids who wants to become lawyers and politicians someday.
it is shameful to our ancestors who fought for justice and equality to see this unjust disregard of a major crime.
it is a demolition of the people's pride from revolutions and peaceful organizations of the thoughts of the concerns.
it is tantamount to erasing edsa revs in our history books.
it is an official announcement that our government patronizes robbers of the national properties, straight from the pockets of the poor people.

im sorry, but the governent will have to make a major change before we could even reach the start of stability, healing and justice, and so far and as of now, that start is not on their plans.

fun stuff

1. i finished watching GREYS ANATOMY season 3..and for those that have not watched it or is still watching it..stop!!

i like what addison montgomery said to karev

"we do not get unlimited chances to get that things that we want, dont miss a chance that could change your life."...ganda no?

-the raise for being the chief of surgery wa so exciting.. i think addison would be a great chief of surgery but it turned out that the chief wanted derek to be his replacement and not burke which is his first choice. but derek doesnt want to be the the choice....i hope bailey gets the job since she didnt get the chief resident surgery

-yang and burke's wedding didnt happen!>..i was so shocked...burke is such an asshole!

-im really looking forward to the 4th season...so nakakabitin!

2. my friend told me that cockfighting is in our culture as well as corruption...i told him im against cockfighting, its cruelty to animals. even though we eat it and cook it, we dont play with it until it dies like sabong....i told him, its degrading to hear that a foul act (corruption) is a part of our culture no matter what, we all know that culture is what binds us and it is the heritage from our ancestors and to the next generations..

stereotypical love..

we often assume that love is sweet..honest..perfect and ideal...but we forget to include its bitternes. the poison that is coated with its superficial sweetness.

love is not what we always thought it is...just take for example those MISMATCH couples.the movies show us picture perfect couples but realty presents us with the opposite...

same sex relationships...they may say its not long lasting but there are some that are really strong..

love may be so complicated but just enjoy the moment..dont live yesterday or tomorrow but live today...

bench is beauty

i practically was brought up with the name BENCH at our household..my dad works for Ben Chan's brother..so he always bring me to BENCH whenever we comes home from China. I remember that when i needed a new polo shirt for the babtism of my cousin, i went to Bench to get a new Blue polo shirt but was scolded by my grandma because of my "kaartehan". but every now and then, and whenever i go to the malls. i never fail to vist BENCH. although their designs are nnot my type anymore, i still wish that i would one day get a new pair of shirt or whatever. their scents are great. i used atlantis before, who doesnt?! then dad gave me wired..my first ever perfume that lasted for a year since i wasnt that fragance conscious. then theres their slippers..i love them..those flipflops are relaxing to the feet. then i love their caps..i think i have a few and wouldlove to buy new ones again...

bitterness and denial

discovry and realization is the first stage of a breakup. discovery of the unfaithfulness is like a BOLUS fast IV push of penicilin...like splash of ice cold fucking water...and an incision without anesthesia..to discover is to swallow all your dreams for the two of you. then denial would come next..apathetic on all the events. seems nothing happened. the feelings are so heavy that you think your gonna be somatized. i cant breath and speak. but after it, the tears would flood the room. endless tears and blaming. rationalization of what he did and such but then you'd realize with the comfort of your friends that reality bites but you deserve better. stupidity is the common ilnes of intelligent people.....

confusion

love is all about confusion..
we always think that the brghtest of signs are of what we see at the moment, but remember that these stars are just floaters in the vast universe. when you'll look behind these shining elements, you'll realize how ambiguous these blinding stars are.

the solar system has one sun that provides it with day and night, happiness and sorrow and smiles and frowns..but the eart doesn't revolve only in the sun. it still has numerous and thousands of stars awaiting for it's attention.

What would you do if another star provides the life that you need and want?

standards of living

when i was young, i always dreamed of being a veterinarian. the obligation and desire to take care of pets as i called them is so strong that i carried that ambition until my early years of high school then i realized that i would not earn that much on that profession (askals are eaten) so i shifted my ambition into being an ECE, thanks to my tito who told me that i would be climbing network towers and fix it if i'm gonna be one, then on my senior year in HS, i suddenly wanted to become a nurse, of course from the influence of many influenece..hahaha..(i know it's grammatically incorrect). anyway, i applied in lasalle for nursing,ECE and brodjourn as my choices. then i got into nursing, but not into ECE.hahaha.i was not disappointed though because it wasn't my first choice and i really don't plan to take it but it makes me laugh when i remember it.

now im on my senior year in nursing, and as they say, lasallian nurses are tough and well holistic. hahaha. i wouldn't daresay and wouldn't allow anyone to say that nursing in lasalle is easy. it is HARD! NURSING is hard at least. hahaha. and it's expensive. im not sure about the tution fees in UST and UP but ours is quite expensive. it's worth it i'd say. no hassles for vehicles to rent etc. anyway, then i wanted to become a US nurse, this and that.....the usual filipino dream, but that wouldnt be the epitome of my professional growth. i want to become a doctor, a dermatologist. i would want to work as a nurse until im 30 then go to med school. by the time im 40, id be a derma..hahaha..that's my plans...and let god and my ambition help me achieve my standard of living.

whats yours?

deathly hallows..

if you have not read the 7th and last installment of the HP series...don't continue..
if you don't want any comments and spoilers..don't continue..

i just finished reading the book..and to my dismay and furiousness..i just can't stop thinking if Rowling should make another one..

and im really glad that Ron andHermione got married 19 yers after....the same with Harry and Ginny..
-i was thrilled with Harry and Ginny's children:Albus Severus, Lily and James

And yes, Voldemort died at last..

i wish i can do magic as well...seems interesting..hahaha...

EXPECTO PATRONUM!!!!!!!!!

criticism over a good book

i have been in intrigued with the good remarks about this book and i managed to borrow a copy from Nats. I was so eager to read it, just as i am with HP7 but i was disappointed as i go on with it.

Let's look into the good side of this book first:

-its educatioanl

-interesting

-lesson bounded

-God inspired

-inpiring (ano pa nga ba?!)

but what i don't like about this are:

-it is monotonous

-slow pacing events

-boring

im a broad reader but it just fails my expectations.

corals at stake

this, people of the blogging world is one of the greatest coral reef shot that i got from yahoo. who knows how many years back when this photo was taken.

this on the other hand is what is happening on present times. one place to be exact is in zamboanga.

i saw from jessica soho's tv show last night this awful reality. the badjaos, the watermen and a native of zamboanga , dives at a depth of 40 feet and gets corals of every kind to sell to businessmen for export. now people may have weird jobs but what shocked me was its cheap value, 10php for an average sized coral. those coral reefs took a hundred years to for, hundred generation to build and have endured countless storms and sunshine. they have witnessed sea miracles, saw countless sea creatures feed on them and made their most feeble way to propagate themselves little by little over a centuries time.

now im calling upon those who wanted to make changes, the candidates for this election.

you, lawmakers should put some attention on what is happening and not on what you wanted to happen always. it is sad to say that our rich and beloved philippines resources would just be a history in the near future if no actions would take place. those minute and sparse coral harvesting might not be an obvious problem but once we put it all together, the damaged would be seen. take actions like how you promised and said it. think of the children who wantedto enjoy the view of those corals in person and not just in the books and magazines. think of the effort of mother earth tp build those for the benefit of all. think of God's blessing and how you would value it. and for one time, dont think of what youre gonna get if you'd put an end on those illegal actions but what youre people would get instead.

earth day...

Today is april 22 and we celebrate earth day..

Earth is like a friend..

Care for it and it stays..

Take it forgranted and it leaves..

Verse 1
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
Chorus
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Verse 2
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you’ve told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to god he hears you and
Chorus
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Verse 3
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came
Chorus (2)
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
Chorus (2)
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life

what is the amount of faith?

the annual palm sunday celebration symbolizes the people's readiness to welcome God.

But could we really measure our readiness to welcome God by just bringing palaspas and such on churches?

by re enacting what happened?

by buying many palaspas and displaying it at our altars?

this mere re enactment of history is just a sign that we are capable of accepting and welcoming God, regardless of what we need to buy, there is the objective and thought that we love God and we're ready to follow him..

How did you start your holy week?

monochromaticty

monochromaticity...is there such a word?? well anyway. i mean how would you like to live a life full of free flowingness? wherein there are no blockages and mountains and stones..wherein evrything runs smoothly according to each other. they dont compliment but just do there own job without ruining the other. commensalism if im not mistaken. it is fun to live a life like that. one things goes right and the other as well. no negativity. the monochromaticity of life is where we act as a whole for everything...

whats your monochrome?? mines orange..

li, trust and honesty

these issues were from my friend's sit..

honesty..
the key to a good relationship, substantial factor in maintaining a good one..a prerequisite of..trust

trust..

the thing that would eradicate fear of loss, unfaithfulness and infidelity

lie..

favorite word of everyone..we all lie..white lies..black lies..some are revealed, some are concealed..but as they say, all secrets would be revealed eventually..but what hurts most is being lied upon face to face behind your back by someone you trust and someone your honest with. you thought that people around are being honest.but you'll discover their dark lies no matter how hard they try to conceal it.the sad things is, you gave your everything, you start to give your everything and you plan to give your everything when you discover that SHIT.

emily rose

a part of being a student nurse is you get to experience UNFORGETTABLE AND MEMORABLE EXPERIENCES while your in the area. some are iunteresting, mostly funny, but some are nerve breaking..

this morning, while i was taking the bp of a patient with seizure precautions, she started jerking mildly. i know that i have to give diazepam PRN(meaning when needed) but i dont know if its the right time. so while the relatives are holding her, i rushed out of the room and called my CI. she just asked me to support ehr and the nurse arrives and prepared the diazepam. but after that, she still had her seizure episodes. some major..some just minors..

i was shock at first..i have not seen a patient having a seizure. but after several episodes with her, i have maintained my composure even though my hands are knocking painfully at the foot of the bed whenever she kicks..hahaha.

sabi nga ng CI ko. Naka ngiti pa raw ako kahit na nagsei2zure na siya..
