Creativity runs in our family. My mother is a retired preschool and grade school teacher and my father used to design or remodel cars or any vehicles in his auto shop. Of course, teachers dealing with small kids must be very artistic and resourceful in order to get the children’s attention. Designing or remodeling cars also requires a unique talent in art to do so. Luckily, my siblings and I inherited our parents’ talents. Since I was a kid, I had always loved drawing. I used to join in art competitions, poster-making contests, and cartoon editorials in our school paper. When I was in secondary school, I practiced drawing faces of real people using charcoal and sometimes, only ordinary lead pencils. Then, I tried painting using oil pastels, then water color, and eventually, I learned how to use poster paints neatly. I enjoy mixing different hues and creating a new color which matches my imagination so perfectly! I like to paint sceneries and flowers, but I find it hard to make an abstract painting. I also love to draw anime characters like Japanese Manga.

Nonetheless, I have not painted any portrait for over four years, not a single one. So, tomorrow, I’ll rush to the mall and grab a new set of painting materials so I can get started. I’d like to check if I still have the talent. I thank my friend for reliving my passion in painting and drawing again. He revived my passion in Art. Like what he said, I will not let the passion in Art die inside me.

My patient is now back in his work and has no more complaints of abdominal pain recurrence. I couldn’t get his final diagnosis because I couldn’t read the physician’s handwriting, neither the ER nurse. The patient was diagnosed with “dyspepsia”.

The basic function of a nurse is to conduct thorough assessment not only at the time the patient has complaints, but throughout the entire shift. That is to monitor the patient’s condition, sick or well. As an initiative, I assessed the said patient thoroughly. Part of which is the gathering of necessary information that will be useful and of great importance in the continuity of nursing care delivery or in quality nursing management. Upon the patient’s complaint of no relief from the antacid, further assessment was made and an ongoing nursing management was rendered.

In my observations, I can see that the patient’s condition was aggraviated and it was confirmed when the patient verbalized that the pain became more intense and that it made him weaker. Since we have no doctor-on-duty that night, I advised the patient to consult a doctor at once in order to seek medical advice and for him to undergo thorough evaluation. The patient agreed to go to the hospital and since he had no significant others around, I ushered him the hospital agreed by the patient. He was then entertained in the ER and laboratory work-ups were made. Patient was given medications and was made comfortable while waiting for the laboratory results. Everything in his CBC were just within the normal limits, as well as his stool exam and urinalysis. The doctor just said that the patient’s abdominal pain is due to indigestion.

As a nurse, I look forward to our patients’ wellness and stability. I perform my duties and responsibilities to help minimize or even relieve patients’ conditions or if not, at least NOT to aggraviate and prolong patients’ sufferings. It is very crucial for me, as a clinic nurse, to do whatever I could for the sake of my patients’ health. Being alone in the clinic with a patient suffering from severe pain is not easy. And bringing him to the hospital was just my last resort.

In addition, I instructed the patient to restrict acidic foods and drinks from his diet, to refrain from caffeine, and other gastric irritants. The patient said that he eats on time and doesn’t smoke.

Just this morning, the said patient came in to the clinic and said he’s fine — what a relief! — though he the pain recurred yesterday but he’s already able to manage it.

Life of a graveyard shift nurse could never be more fun and more challenging than this!

I went to a mall on a Saturday afternoon, during my rest day, to buy groceries and toiletries. As I walk along, I went inside the National Bookstore and saw this book and got interested in it.

It is a documentary of real life stories about crimes of passionate nature. It tells different stories of love, frustration and anger that ends in turmoils of hot blood and tears. I bought the book without any doubt and hurried home to start reading it.

As I read the first story, I sympathized to the sentiments of the desperate woman who killed her man because of hopeless and undrawn love that turned to madness. It was like a narration of the whole story, to the end of the case trial, up to the decision made by the body of law. Interest in this kind of chronicles is not plainly because of curiousity and sympathy but of cognizance and admonition to the hasty and foreseeable events of the real world. Stories as such enlighten our minds and ego to situations that often only the people involved knows and had the chance to experience.

I am into stories like this because I am engrossed to real life events and sympathize to the people who were deprived and in jeopardy. Indulging one’s self into learning and experiencing situations as this is not senseless or bizarre but it is simply being realistic and sensible.

Which one should come first? Love or Ambition?

Come to think of it. Hard, isn’t it? These two words may have different meanings literally but they are somehow interrelated. Why? It is because both of them when attained can lead a person to happiness and if unachieved can also bring about depression and frustration.

Many people say, “Love is a many splendoured thing.” Yes, it is true. Imagine life without Love. Can anyone in this world survive? How dull, worthless and barren our lives would be! Love gives us unequalled joy and true meaning to our lives. Perhaps Love is the very reason for living. However, a challenging part of which includes obstacles, struggles, heartaches and most of all, sacrifices. Thus, Love requires time, effort, patience and a brave heart to conquer all these. After all when Love triumphs immeasurable Happiness will follow through.

On the other hand, Ambition plays a very vital role in our lives. It plays as a guide in life’s quest and shows the paths that we should take day after day. It gives direction to our lives. Moreover, it could also lead us to self-fulfillment. What is life without an ambition? Pointless, useless and meaningless it’ll certainly be. Ambition takes a big part on the quest for survival. And in the world today, people can’t survive with Love alone. Practically speaking, Love alone cannot provide the primary and most important demands in the heirarchy of necessity, the physiologic needs. It does not belong to that level of human needs either. Nonetheless, when Love is no longer enough Ambition takes its place.

But what if you get caught between Love and Ambition? Which one would you choose first? Love gratification or Ambition fulfillment? It’s hard to choose, right? But we cannot deny the fact that it is much harder and so much unrealistic to pursue both of it at the same time. Indeed, that would be the dumbest choice. Wise men say, “You cannot serve two masters at the same time.” Hence, you should decide what really needs to be satisfied primarily and what should be set aside as for the moment. Prioritization must be the first step.

Now, have you thought of an answer?

NOT the one who would want to treat me like a princess,
but the one who can treat me as a woman of worth.

NOT the one who would want me to stay in his side,
but the one who’ll let go of me and will find me when I am lost.

NOT the one who would always tell me that he loves me,
but the one who is so afraid to hurt me.

NOT the one who would tell me in the crowd
“you’re the girl I’ve been waiting for!”,

but the one who would just gently whisper to my ear and say,
“you’re the answer to my prayer.”

Fertilization is the fusion of two gametes (egg cell from female and sperm cell from male) to produce a new organism. When the sperm cell successfully fertilized the egg cell, the product is then called zygote. Normally, fertilization in humans occur in a part of the woman’s fallopian tube called ampulla.

Fertility is the natural capability of having a child. Fertility depends on several factors like nutrition, age, sexual behavior, culture, timing, emotions, way of life, economics, etc. In women, peak fertility occurs two days before and two days after the ovulation phase of the menstrual cycle. Fertility declines with increasing age. Fertility in women declines after 30 while semen volume, sperm motility (movement of the sperm) and sperm morphology (size and shape of the sperm) in males decline with increasing age. Infertility is the difficulty or inability to have a child. There are many causes of infertility.

In Vitro Fertilization is the major treatment in infertility when other Assistive Reproductive Technology (ART) methods are unsuccessful. IVF is the fertilization outside the womb, e.g. in test tubes, petri dishes or beakers. This produre involves hormonally controlling the ovulatory process, removing egg cells from the ovaries and letting the sperm cell fertilize them in a fluid medium. Once the fertilization is successful, the fertilized egg (zygote) is then transferred to the patient’s uterus. However, the success rate of IVF varies with age. Babies conceived as a result of IVF are called test tube babies. The first test tube baby was born on 1978.

These are few things that I would like to share:

Problems don’t come off to dump you, rather they are great chances to do your best.

Nobody but yourself knows how you feel nor what you think. But, no insensitive hearts and unchangeable minds could not empathize if you would dare to reveal what’s deep within you.

Don’t submit to your fears. Be it your weakness on one hand but, on the bright side, be it your strength. Don’t let cynicism twist your mind. Let the power of optimism rule. It’s just a matter of mind-conditioning.

Thailand is also a tropical country but they experience a so-called “Dry Winter Season” in the months of December and January. The temperature here in Bangkok is getting lower and lower , about 20 to 23 degrees Celsius and it is getting colder and colder. I couldn’t go out without putting my jacket on. The breeze is so cold that it makes me shiver and makes my muscles twitch, though I’m already wearing a jacket. My hands and feet get stiff because of the cold air and it makes me want to drink a cup of tea time and again. I came from a tropical country but never did we experience a weather as cold as this. How I wish there will also be winter in our country…

Tonight, I will be going to Vientiane, Laos and will stay there for at least one to two days. When I come back to Thailand, I still can join my sisters in the Noche Buena and celebrate Christmas with them, too.

This will be my first visit in the Lao P.D.R. (Laos) and I still don’t have any ideas in mind how the country looks like, the people, their living and lifestyle. Anyway, I’m ready with my cameras so I can take as many photos as I can and tell my sisters and friends about my tour in Vientiane, as what I usually do when I go to other places like Cambodia. I really love to take pictures, and aside from blogging, I am also into photography. My next stop will probably be in Singapore. Let’s see.

Merry Christmas to all! May your holidays be filled with love and blessings. Cheers!

If an I/O Device Error appears on your computer screen upon left-clicking your Memory Card and you have troubles opening your files, you may need to format your MMC or SD Card. If you cannot format it on your computer, try formatting it on your phone or camera. But of course, the data in your memory card will be lost, so, be quick and clever enough to perform backup tasks before doing so.

However, there is a Memory Card Data Recovery Software that you can find on the internet and download it into your computer. I have tried it when I had problems opening my MMC files and it worked. The lost data were all retrieved. That’s one good news!

Then, if the memory card works good on your phone or camera, try to connect it again to your computer. If it yields the same result, an I/O Device Error still appears on the screen and you cannot left-click the memory card, then, there may be some problems with your Card Reader. The card reader may have corrupted the files in your SD or memory card.

Even if you buy a new SD or MMC and try it on with your card reader, you may just be risking the new SD or Memory Card and waste your money. The card reader may already be damaged, and if it already is, it will damage every card you put in it. Instead, buying a new Card Reader gets the problem solved. Period.

DREAM MATCH: Philippine Boxing Hero Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao versus The World’s Middleweight Boxing Champion Oscar “Golden Boy” De La Hoya held on December 6, 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is world’s most-awaited and greatest boxing fight of the year! Filipinos all over the world kept glued to their television sets and the internet to watch their National Boxing Hero’s most amazing fight.

People did not expect that the smaller and less popular Manny Pacquiao could knock the 10-time world champion out in just 8 rounds. Pacman had just proved to the world how strong, fast and powerful boxer he is when he made the Golden Boy De La Hoya quit the game after the 8th round. He left De La Hoya defeated with battered face and shut, swollen left eye. Pacquiao landed jabs more than twice of De La Hoya’s and finished the game clean of any cuts.

Despite of all the successive victories he had, he still chose to remain humble and God-fearing which makes him more than a legendary, most respected athlete. Indeed, Pacquiao is really a professional fighter and he deserves it all.

During my first visit in the Kingdom of Thailand, my family and I never missed the fun and enchantment with the different animals at the Safari World, Bangkok. Local and foreign tourists flock to experience the same as well.

In the jungle, the animals have the right of way. Tourists riding on the tour buses or their cars would really enjoy taking pictures of the animals walking freely around the wide jungle. There, you can appreciate the the beauty of nature and the fresh air it gives. You’ll spend half of the day to roam around the entire jungle by car while you can also spend the other half by watching the amazing animal shows.

The Urang-Utan Show was very cool and exciting! They acted like humans and the show was really worth the while. The Sea Lion Show was amazing, too! You will surely be entertained by the sea lions as they perform, swim and dance. We also watched the Dolphin and Whale Shows which were really full of fun. I can’t believe how they managed to train the animals so perfectly! And I was so overwhelmed for at long last I had already seen my most favorite sea creatures, dolphins. There were also a Polar Bear Feeding show, an extraordinary Bird Show, Spy War, Stunt Show, Tiger Bottle-Feeding and many more. Tourists can even grab some souvenirs at the booths and take pictures with the animal mascots that can be found along the way.

Our one-day escapade at the Safari World was truly one of the best and most unforgettable experiences I ever had! I would still love to go back there and experience the unparalleled excitement the second time around. Safari World is a sure thing one of the best destinations in Thailand that a tourist must not miss.
