When I think of my mom’s favorite viand for hot rice, It will be ‘Igado’. We’re a family from the province Laoag City in Ilocos and one of their pride dishes is ‘Igado’.

Nurse 101

Image
As a Nurse, I am very proud to say that my job is to save lives of people, remove their pains and by merely interacting with them, it alleviate their sufferings. This makes us important in this society. We come to patient to assess their complaints on their health and take appropriate action base from our scope of discipline. Life as a Nurse is not an easy Job. Some people don’t even recognize it as a job but here in the Philippines, it is more of a vocation because of a minimum wage salary we get.   Many Nurses nowadays focused to finding themselves job abroad so they take up different foreign exams and even study again to other countries. But for me, so many times, it struck to me to quit as a Nurse in the hospital because of burnout and not pursue international career anymore.   Maybe, I will try other venture like business or a Nurse educator. Now, that I am enrolled in a Graduate School, I can be able to pursue my dream to be a teacher. Though, nursing schools here ...

X Factor

                    Last night was the premiere telecast of another franchised reality show on ABS-CBN, "XFactor". This brought me to Youtube to compare the Filipino style from the original X Factor UK. As we all know, several contestants attained their dreams in fame after joining the X Factor since it was began like Leona Lewis, the hottest boyband today "One Direction" and Chris Rene. The creator of X Factor is Simon Cowell. Several lawsuits were filed against Cowell, accusing him copied the format of his previous show "American Idol". But X Factor continues to spread around the world and now here in the Philippines.   Chris Rene was in the third place in the Season 1 version in United States. He is one of my idol in X factor. Oooops, this is not an Americal idol by the way but still he is one of the contestant who inspire me because of his life experience. His job b...

                   The reason that I started to blog was for me to improve in writing because I suck in this and also to entertain myself while studying and to make a journal of my life's experience. And It can  be a bonus for me if I can inspire people through this. It is important for me to write my life's lesson  that I am learning now especially that I'm building my relationship with Jesus. For those who don't  know, I'm recently praising Jesus at Victory Church in Metroeast for the past 3months. In just short  time, my life have changed and realized that the most important thing in life is to put Jesus in the  center of our lives.               The Pinoy pride Cong. Manny Pacquiao, "world's greatest boxer" and Forbes top 2 highest paid athlete who earned $62 million from...

DISEASES

As of 2007, the number one cause of mortality in the Philippines is Disease of the heart. Others, are Cancer, Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, Diabetes, Cerebro-vascular Accident and other diseases that can kill all of us here in this planet. Immortality is not likely to happen because as a Christian, we all know that only God is Immortal. So I would like to ask myself and whoever will read this, What really would happen after we die? Are these diseases made of man? Why do we need to suffer and undergo several treatments that are expensive and painful? There are million babies around the world who died as soon as their mother gave birth to them. Some live with juvenile diabetes, Children with diabetes since birth. Some with disabilities like babies with no legs, no eyesight and even no sex gender because of absence of either penis or vagina. These innocent children must be treated as normal human being so as for them to live to their maximum abilities. I just hope that their parents...

THE START

I've been thinking on starting my Jounal few years back. But i am hesitant because I am anxious on my English Grammar. While reading several blogs from different people here in blogspot, I started to try blogging just to improve my grammar and at the same time to write all my thoughts here in blogspot. I am 26 years old with few achievements in life. I'm still young and I still want to prove to my family and to myself that I just did not waste my time here on earth but made the most out of my time here on earth. 'Worry No More' I've learned that worrying is actually against the will of God. It will only create stress, one problem and another problem, not to mention you can also have wrinkles because of it and also It will only prove that you're not trusting God for he will not give anything that we human beings cannot handle in our lives. This is the hardest thing to avoid in times when you are rushing to go to your office or any workplace, in times when yo...
