The Lady in Yellow

The news of President Cory's demise did not shocked me because as we all know she has been suffering from cancer to quite sometime now. What shocked me was the number of people who believed in her and paid tribute to her. Indeed she was the woman with the big heart. Her love for the Filipino people was incomparable, her devotion to the blessed mother is unfailing. She must have been a very good person, a very good mother, a very good leader to deserve all of the credits she is receiving right now. Lots and lots of people are stretching their patience out in falling in line just to have a glimpse of this amazing lady. Personally, I admire her courage and faith. She may only be a housewife and a mother but she surely took care of the Filipino people and deliver them to freedom. I salute you President Cory for a job well done and thank you for standing by the filipino. We, Filipinos will always be grateful for what you have accomplish.

Body Massage

Ronald and I had a very relaxing massage from Shaitsu Zhi Ya. It is conveniently located at JP laurel St. near Davao Medical Center. We instantaneously felt a big relief after an hour of massage. I recommend this spot for those who loves to relax and have a good massage.Their place is very cozy, very conducive for relaxation and their personnel are very well trained and very professional.

Goodbye!

We bid our goodbyes as we attended the burial of baby Christian Angelo this morning. We were all moved to tears as we watched his body lowered to the ground. What broke our hearts more is when angelo's older cousins dedicated songs for him and when the younger ones (aging 3-5) were also crying as if they really understood why angelo has to go. It was a very solemn and touching ceremony. I pray that God will continue to bless the family he left behind and through angelo, may the bond of love they are sharing becomes stronger and deeper. Goodbye Angelo!

Brand New versus Second Hand

Right now, we are planning to sell my car. The problem is, we can't decide whether to buy a brand new car or a second hand car. We are currently considering the pros and cons... Brand new cars are obviously much more expensive over the second hand cars . But brand new cars guarantees good performance unlike the second hand cars. Still weighing things out as of the moment. will keep you posted!

I'm Ok now

Went to the wake of my friend's son who died of dengue and other complications. At first, i don't know if I'm going to see the boy inside the coffin but when I was actually there I couldn't help but approach the boy and look at his angelic face. It is then that I was able to say that I am ok now. I would like to believe that he is happy now, free from pain and suffering. The heaviness that I felt during his arrest were all gone. Thanks little Christian Angelo... trully you're an angel....

Keeping my faith!

Ronald left for manila this afternoon. Tomorrow will be his much awaited screening for their company's Davao branch head. I know even if he doesn't say so, he is somehow nervous and anxious. This will be a very tough, healthy competition for the position since the other person who is applying for the position is his friend. Am asking you guys to please pray for him. thanks!

Life's realizations

I am feeling down and could not believe what i have just witnessed. My friend's son was afflicted with dengue. Last sunday she admitted his son in the hospital where are currently employed. We never thought that this illness would lead into something very serious. Last wednesday, his son was transferred to PICU because his condition worsen. We came to see the boy last thursday and obviously he was not in condition but he managed to respond to every question we asked him. A very good boy indeed. Friday morning, my friend decided to transfer his son to a private hospital. When they arrived, it was known that his condition was far worst than what everybody expected. They had him intubated because the child has difficulty of breathing. They tried to hook him to the mechanical ventilator but his weak body could not tolerate it anymore. They settled for continuous ambubagging just to for oxygen into his body. I went to see Christian for the second time this afternoon. From what I saw last thursday to the boy in front of me, I could not believe that a single mosquito bite would lead into something fatal. Christian was now struggling for his life. A few minutes passed, the checked his blood pressure and it was extremely low. His heart rate was slowly going down until the PICU nurses could not hear anything. Residents and Christian's attending physician tried to resucitate him. After sometime, his heart started to beat again. We were again hopeful that he would get through. Not another minute passed, Christian had his second arrest. This time my friend decided to stop the resucitation. They already let Christian go. Sad but a very brave decision for a mother to do. My friend doesn't want her son to suffer anymore. Everybody in the room was crying, I was not... I don't know why, I just felt the need to be strong... I realized that death is inevitable and it can come to anybody anytime. I think we should really make the most out of everything while we have the chance to do so. Let our loved ones know that we love them, learn to forgive and ask for forgiveness. We only have one life to live.... have we ask ourselves.... How are we living it?

Kitchen Necessities

I've been scouting for some appliances, big or small for my kitchen. My renovation is close to completion already and I want everything in once it was done. Good thing, I am always updated with the latest, trendiest and most efficient appliances available through Shopwiki. In scouting, one important equipment that i must have in my kitchen and I think it very useful in my case is the Food Processors. Food processors is best if you don't know how to chop, slice or dice your vegetables. This is also very useful if you want to make a puree for your dips and sauces.
Another important must-have for my kitchen is a stand mixer. Since I love to bake cakes and cookies, stand mixer is very important. I personally prefer a stand mixer over the hand mixers because you can do other things while the mixing is going on. Hand mixers on the other is best if mixing that requires more than just whisking or beating. Also, hand mixers is best for small kitchen wherein you need not allot a place for it to stand, you just simply clean it and put it inside the cabinet for safekeeping.
Last, a new refrigerator is a must for me. Our present refrigerator is way too small to accommodate our frozen items and vegetables. In addition, I prefer a No-frost refrigerator this time since defrosting my old refrigerators eats much of my time.
Good thing Shopwiki is readily available for all the consumers. They have a wide variety of appliances to choose from. Plus, you will be guided to the right appliances once you look into their site. They have an elaborate description of each of the items, giving information about the products. So for all of you who are interested check out their site now!

Road Trip

Last sunday, the MHC RR-SICU team went on a road trip bound to Don Marcelino. We went to celebrate the birthday of our CV Head, Dr. Maruya. 3 vans were rented to accomodate the staff and left the city at around 6:30 am. It was a mixture of a smooth, bumpy and swirly ride. We arrived to the place at around 9:30. For lunch, we had roasted cow and roasted pig plus a number of viands and desserts. At around 3 pm we went to witness an actual cockfight. I screamed my lungs out went the fight started. In the end, Dr. Maruya's bet wont the fight. We headed home at around 4 and arrived at around 6 in the evening.

Glass Art at its Finest

I have always been fascinated with arts. For me, it is a form of self expression. I love to visit galleries featuring the works of famous local artists. In college, most of the time I stayed in the Arts and Literature section of our university's library. I spent hours and hours looking into the pictures of the different paintings and other architectural works of the medieval times. I basically love to draw and am somehow fond of music and love to dance, so obviously my artistic side sort of dominates my personality. I observed once a sculpture showdown were in they used different mediums such as ice, stone and wood. In one of our field trips we had in school, I was able to try molding a pot with the use of clay. Though mine was not that good looking but the experience I got is all worth it. But there is just one art that I would at least like to observe on and its not very common here in our country and the glass making or glass art. I've seen many demonstrations over You Tube and I love to really witness an actual glass blowing session. There only one person that I can really associate with glass art and that is Dino Rosin. He has this amazing site that displays amazing work of art. You can also place your orders online if you're interested to own one of his superbly designed glass arts. And, for those who want to see his works upclose and personal, Dino Rosin's works has graced numerous galleries all around United States.

Dad, You're the best!

Happy father's day to dad! We wanted to make this day a very special one to him that is why we are going to gather tonight for a dinner. Mom will be cooking dad's favorite Chicken Curry, I am in charge of the desserts, my cousin and little sister will be in charge of the other viands. Just a simple celebration to affirm dad that he did a great job in raising us as his children. So much sacrifice he has given that we cannot repay them all in any sum of money. The best thing we can give him and to mom too, is to better our lives and become responsible parents too for our future families. Love you dad!

Roaming Portugal

One of the countries that I love to visit someday is Portugal. Do you know why? Aside from the fact that the Portuguese are related to the Philippine history, I am fascinated with their rich culture and tradition. My husband and I wanted to explore the different tourist spots of the country. As this is a vacation, I looked into their Aeroporto de Lisboa website for some guidelines. A personal choice of mine is hotel that is beachfront like the Hotel Porto Santo. But we could not do this if we don't have a ride that would take us to these captivating places.I looked into some car services and I checked on 121 car hire portugal. The company is obviously efficient in their services and would guarantee costumer satisfaction. So if you are considering a trip to Portugal, might as well get the services these company.

HATAW GALAW sa DABAW

Last friday was a blast! I watched the show at Central Bank. I must say Marissa Sanchez is one hell of a singer!!! She's better than any other singer wannabees in the music industry. I wonder why she wasn't given that much break in the world of music. She's a total performer, she can sing, dance and makes people laugh. Eric Santos, on the other hand, balanced the show as he was singing pop songs. I am a big fan of him. His simplicity just exudes of what he really is a performer and a person. He definitely captured the heart of the ladies in the audience and also the mothers as he dedicated one song for them. But the show won't be a total blast if the Stand-up comedy diva would not be around to make "okray" the audience. Vice ganda is undeniably the best and the most intelligent stand-up comedian. She is very articulate, well versed and smart. She thinks so fast that there was no dull moment with her. Vice can also sing, and she has a beautiful voice too! Very talented indeed!

Scenic Furniture

I must admit, I am obsessed with furniture nowadays. You could not let me out in a mall without dropping by a furniture showroom.

If your as fascinated with furniture like me, check the site and let me know about it!

Want to be a Hacker?

After watching Sandra Bullock's phenomenal hit movie, The Net, I just can't help but get impressed on how smart are they with computers and curious of how they go about hacking into other person's computer and alter every important detail in it. I was amazed of how they easily get into another person's file with ease and with out a trace. Aren't you impressed on how they do it? I am. I personally thought that hacking is a very bad thing to do especially if you try to invade and disrupt operations like that of the government or even offices. But how do we do away with these malicious hackers? I encountered the EC-Council while going through the net. The council speaks of and promotes Ethical Hacking. This kind of hacking does not disrupt nor invades other private properties; it works on the legal side by simply counteracting any operations contemplated by the hacker. Aside from the fact that this is a high-paying job, this would also give a big impact on the IT Security as it would cause the illegal hackers to think twice before entering into other property.
To all of you interested, EC-Council is giving out courses that will make you a Certified Ethical Hacker in no time! Other courses they offer include Secure Coding, Security Fundamentals, Computer Forensics and Disaster Recovery. All courses are aimed to a better awareness on the security status of your own personal property and to protect them before it's too late.

Allergy Vs. Food Poisoning

Last friday something happened unexpectedly. My dad and I had fish with rice for a late lunch.I instantaneously noticed the itchy feeling after having a bite or two of the malasugue fish. I asked my dad if he noticed the same thing but there's nothing wrong with the fish. So I assume that since I have hypersensitivity or allergies to seafoods, only my taste buds noticed it. After lunch, I checked my emails then, I started to feel my pulse racing and my vision blurring. I tried to cough as hard as possible. Meanwhile, dad left to buy some motorcycle parts still with no symptoms. After a few minutes of trying to cough out hard in order to breath, I felt like vomiting. So I vomit, it is only then that I realized that I was red all over. It's the same rashes that appears when I eat foods that I am allergic to. I immediately called my dad, asking him how he was feeling. According to him he was fine, I asked him to buy me some medications. Little did I know, when he arrived at the drugstore he was not feeling good himself. He immediately drived home, as fast as he could. When he arrived, he went directly to the lavatory and vomited almost everything he ate for lunch. He was not looking good this time. His eyes were red and skin is flushed. We both took the medication and waited for it to effect. After a few minutes, dad's symptoms were subsiding but mine was worsening. After an hour, I vomited again, this time it was about 500 cc. I felt I was running out of air and literally weak. I rested and observed. After 3 long hours my symptoms subsided. Thank God! Lesson learned: Follow your instincts and don't push yourself to the limits. From now on, if I felt there's something wrong, I would stop and do away with it.

Landscape Experts at your Service

Now that our garage construction is finished, I would like to work on our garden and that would be at the opposite side of the garage. This would balance the front view of our humble home. I know that this would be a very tedious and expensive project but still I want to go for it. I envisioned a nice garden with an exquisite landscape. Since the soil in our place is very rich as evidence by numerous wild flowers and shrubs growing on it, I wanted my garden to be endowed with nice flowering plants like roses, mumps and gerberas plus and orchid garden. I also would want to include aerial plants along the pathways and corners of the garden. In the center would be a nice fountain. On the farthest side of the garden, I would like to place a Mini cottage with a grilling area with a mini kitchen. All of these things are just but an ambiguous picture of how I want my garden to look like. So, I wanted a concrete idea on landscaping and I found a great help in Phoenix Landscaping, the site that inspired me with their wonderful creations. Their designs are exquisitely unique and very elegant. With their great variety of expertise and good, quality service made their company know through Phoenix. I encourage you to visit their site and take a look at some of their best landscape design.

Computerization

Last Wednesday, my co-nurses and I attended a seminar on Computerization of our hospital's transaction. Personally, I was impressed with the moved to computerization and the advantages that goes along with it. The system was user-friendly, all personnel, computer literate or not can make use of it with ease. This new system will surely alleviate the work load of nurses and nursing attendants in the ward. In addition, the patient's watchers will have no difficulty in retrieving laboratory and radiology results. Hope this system will be implemented as soon a possible.
