Fortunately, I got in the 1st batch (yey for that!) and so, I now have approximately &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;79&lt;/span&gt; days left to study, review, read and scan gazillions of review materials for the board exam!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The good side of the story is, there will be no conflict with my schedule when I will be attending my classes in med school since the June board exams is on the 6th and 7th and classes will start at the 8th.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bad side is, I haven't read a single book yet from the stack the reviewer has told us to read by heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the game plan? "Turn your nights into days". haha. That's according to our dean anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I'll read the CHN book first because community theory has never been my kind of taste. Haist.. So please pray for me on that.. &gt;_&lt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A while ago, we had our Faculty-Senior's day. It was fun though the food was distasteful probably because I felt sick all day due to alcohol withdrawal symptoms. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(Di na ko mutagay ug tanduay!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the afternoon, I dropped by at CIM to get my acceptance letter. So yey for that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow, my day would be filled with graduation rehearsals, toga fittings and clearance signing. Plus, my mom is coming over tomorrow so things would definitely be hectic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really should quit yapping and start hitting those books! haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&gt;_&lt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8826262314804298097-8154594708117329477?l=j-brian.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://j-brian.blogspot.com/feeds/8154594708117329477/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8826262314804298097&amp;postID=8154594708117329477' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8826262314804298097/posts/default/8154594708117329477'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8826262314804298097/posts/default/8154594708117329477'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://j-brian.blogspot.com/2009/03/get-your-head-in-game.html' title='Get Your Head in the Game'/><author><name>JB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11813002309127068119</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q6xk2U-K9Dw/SLj11z1FakI/AAAAAAAAAAc/yPMA0BnHE74/S220/Jude%27sBangka+070-1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826262314804298097.post-1822876007656559709</id><published>2009-03-15T13:10:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-15T13:16:22.179+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Maalaala mo Kaya</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt;Ilang araw ko na ring ginusto na sumulat sa online blog / diary ko.. Sabi nga nung professor ko sa psychology, "writing is a good outlet to vent out frustrated feelings and emotions". Kaya, sisimulan ko ngayon ang isang walang kwentang paglalahad ng mga pangyayari sa aking napaka-boring at walang modong buhay.. &gt;_&lt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; &lt;tanging&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; Sa totoo lang napakahirap magsimula ng isang lathalain na walang topic na napag-isipan bago pa man likhain ang isang kwento.. Kaya't pagpa-sensyahan nyo na lang ang sulating ito at sana'y maunawaan nyo ang ibig ipahiwatig ng mga salitang ito at naway makayanan ninyong basahin ang napakahabang lathalain na to.. hahaha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; Parang kelan lang ng pumasok ako sa mundo ng nursing.. natatandaan ko pa nun, nakasulat sa hallway papasok sa building ang mga katagang, "through these doors passed young men and women who have dedicated their lives to the practice of caring". lagot. caring pala pinasok ko.. nyahaha.. wala ata akong ganun.. natatandaan ko kasi simula noong bata pa ako, wala akong masyadong pakialam sa buhay ng ibang tao. pilosopiya ko kasi noon, na ang tao ay dapat pagtuunan lamang ng pansin ang kanyang sarili at wala ng iba.. ikanga sa ingles, "a man for his own".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; sa simula pa lang di ko naman talaga ginusto ang pumasok sa nursing. sino ba naman kasi ang magkakagusto sa kursong ito na kung saan lubhang mahirap na nga makapasa eh wala pang kwenta pag-graduate mo kasi di ka kaagad makahanap ng trabaho.. dapat ka munang pumasa ng sangkatutak na mga exams bago mo makukuha ang pinakamimithi mong premyo.. ang makapasok sa estados unidos, the land of milk and honey.. nyahaha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; ayon sa statistics na nabasa ko noon, sa 10 nursing graduate, 2 lamang daw ang mapalad na nakakapang-ibang bansa.. sino ba naman kasi ang tatagal sa higpit ng screening, dami ng applicants at hirap ng mga exams na dapat mong pagdaanan.. mas mabuti pa yata nag-caregiver na lang ako.. mas madali pang makapasok sa europa.. pounds na din un! mas lamang yata kontra dolyar.. nyahaha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; pero di talaga yata plano ni Lord na ibang kurso kukunin ko.. dahil nauwi pa rin talaga ako sa nursing.. ang mga pinagpipilian ko kasi noong araw, eh biology, med tech o di kaya nursing kung wala na talagang mapasukan. biruin nyo naman, nakapasa na nga ako sa UP para sa kursong biology tsaka sa MSU at Ateneo, pinili ko pa ring pumasok sa nursing sa isang baguhang unibersidad.. marahil magtataka kayo kung ano kaya pumasok sa kokote ko ng mga oras na un.. ang totoo naiinggit kasi ako sa kapatid ko na nag-nunursing din noon.. nakakainggit kasi sabi nya sobrang challenging daw ng nursing.. "only for the brave of heart". kaya na-challenge talaga ako ng husto.. ako pa naman ang klase ng tao na challenges lagi sa eskwelahan hinahanap.. hehehe.. yoko kasi mapurol ang utak ko sa mga napakawalang-kwentang kurso gaya na lamang ng tourism na kung saan pagpapa-gwapo lamang ata dapat mong gawin para makapasa. at isa pa, nakita ko rin ang nursing bilang isang magandang pre-med course.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; kaya dun nagsimula ang kalbaryo ko sa nursing. pinawisan kakahanap ng CI, nalipasan ng gutom sa haba ng mga lectures, napaiyak dahil di pa tapos sa mga requirements kahit madaling araw na, gumising ng maaga (4am) para sa morning shift duty,napuyat dahil sa night shift duty, naamoy lahat ng klase ng baho na nilikha sa mundong ibabaw gaya na lamang ng (ihi, tae, dugo, pasyenteng walang ligo, mga pasyenteng may kulang sa pag-iisip at ward ng mga ospital) , gumawa ng thesis, nakipag-away, nakipag-suntukan (uy wild! hahaha), nangopya, nagpakopya, nakakita ng ibat-ibang klase ng genitalia, tumakas sa ospital wyl on duty, natulog wyl on duty, tumawa, umiyak, nakipag-inuman at nagsunog ng kilay..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; pero sa halos apat na taong paghihirap ko sa mundo ng nursing, ano nga ba ang natutunan ko dito? lumawak ba ang saklaw ng aking pag-iisip? bumuti ba ang relasyon ko sa kapwa? naging makabuluhan ba ang halos kalahating milyon na nagasto ko sa kursong ito (lol)?...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; una sa lahat, natuto ako na dapat gamitin ang nursing process (ADPIE) sa lahat ng bagay. natuto ako papano magbigay ng ineksyon, kung anong bakuna dapat ibigay, mga ibat'ibang klase ng gamot at sakit, papano magbigay ng dextrose, papano maglinis ng pwerta ng babae, mag-arrange ng surical instruments, mag-ayos ng bedsheets (naku! challenging to!), mag-labor watch at kumuha ng blood pressure, temperature at pulso at napakarami pang iba.. haha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; nalaman ko rin na kung papasok ka sa isang lecture na magsisimula ng 7:30 at matatapos ng 12:30, dapat bestfriend mo na si skyflakes at zest-o.. na-discover ko rin na tuwing exams, mas makabubuti kung nakatulog ka ng at least 4 hours at disaster pag pumasok ka na lasing at walang alam, natuto din ako na mortal na kasalanan sa nursing ang di gumamit ng gunting pang-gupit ng papel kasi nga depensa ng teacher ko, "nursing is an art". nalaman ko rin ang deeper meaning ng motto na, "it's better to be absent than to be late".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; higit sa lahat, nalaman ko na mas magiging masaya at makabuluhan ang iyong nursing life kung marunong kang makisama sa mga taong mas may alam at owtoridad sau, at pati na rin sa mga makakatrabaho mo sa ospital, kaklase at mga kaibigan. nalaman ko na ibang saya ang dulot ng pagkakaroon ng malalapit na kaibigan na dumaramay sau sa panahon ng kalungkutan at pangungulila. nalaman ko na mas masarap ang fridays pag kasama mo ang barkada at kumakain kau sa tabi-tabi (pungko-pungko) o di kaya ay sa kahit anong restawran na trip nyo na abot sa budget.. natuto din ako na dapat ihiwalay ang puti sa de-kolor kung maglalaba kundi lagot ang mga puti mong uniform at briefs. nalaman ko na epektib ang bigyan ang sarili ng reward sa bawat paghihirap na natamo buhat sa pagsusunog ng kilay. nalaman ko rin na para tumagal ka sa propesyong ito, dapat kumpleto ka sa tatlong bagay na ito: nursing kit (kasama na dito ang BP apparatus, stethoscope, iba't ibang klase ng kulay ng ballpen, ruler, gunting, sinulid at karayom! oo adik talaga! hahaha) ,tibay ng loob at pagtitiwala sa sarili.. natutunan ko rin na hindi lamang sa eskwelahan napag-aaralan ang propesyon ng nursing, may mas magagaling pang lecture na nakukuha mula sa buhay ng iyong mga pasyente, buhay ng mga pangkaraniwang tao, at mga karanasan ng mga taong minsan ay nagmalasakit ka para iyong tulungan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; at higit sa lahat, nalaman ko rin na mas mabuti pala na may pakialam ka sa buhay ng iba dahil, gustuhin man natin o hindi, bawat aksyon na ginagawa natin kahit di natin sadyain ay may epekto sa buhay ng mga taong nakapaligid sa atin. kung ano man ang desisyon natin sa buhay, hindi lamang tau ang naaapektuhan kundi pati na rin ang ating mga kapamilya, kaanak, kaibigan, katrabaho at lahat ng mga taong pumapaligid sa atin.. kaya't imbes na sarili lang natin isipin natin, mas makakabubuti sa lahat kung ituon din natin ang ating konting atensyon tungo sa pangangailangan ng iba..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt; * Kahit ikaw ay parang batong manhid at walang pakiramdam, magingat- ingat ka naman dahil kahit ganyan ka hindi nasasaktan kaya mo namang makasakit.  -Bob Ong&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="MsgBodyText"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8826262314804298097-1822876007656559709?l=j-brian.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://j-brian.blogspot.com/feeds/1822876007656559709/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8826262314804298097&amp;postID=1822876007656559709' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8826262314804298097/posts/default/1822876007656559709'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8826262314804298097/posts/default/1822876007656559709'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://j-brian.blogspot.com/2009/03/maalaala-mo-kaya.html' title='Maalaala mo Kaya'/><author><name>JB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11813002309127068119</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q6xk2U-K9Dw/SLj11z1FakI/AAAAAAAAAAc/yPMA0BnHE74/S220/Jude%27sBangka+070-1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826262314804298097.post-5133693598077192344</id><published>2009-03-15T12:49:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-15T13:06:07.751+08:00</updated><title type='text'>CHANGES</title><content type='html'>Yes I'm back, still alive and kicking for 2009.. hehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's been quite a while since the last time I wrote something here in my dear blog.. Yes, life has been pretty tough on me lately though I survived it and I'm glad where I am standing right now..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what have I been up to lately?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. I spent christmas and new year with my folks at Nasipit. Great times, plus I got a chance to visit my relatives in zamboanga&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. School stuff - research, pre-board, requirements, duties, med school applications, you name it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Graduation requirements - yes, and thankfully, I will graduate next week.. &gt;_&lt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Changes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes my dear friends, change has finally come to The Daily Scribbles. For the new year 2009, I have decided to revamp this blog and do some minor renovations. For the next coming days, when my schedule permits, I will be doing some minor changes so please stay tuned for that.. One tip, I'll be writing more in tagalog due to the influence of my new idol writer Bob Ong. nyahaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess I really missed writing in this blog and I hope you'll see more of me this coming weeks..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JB is now back online.. &gt;_&lt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8826262314804298097-5133693598077192344?l=j-brian.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://j-brian.blogspot.com/feeds/5133693598077192344/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8826262314804298097&amp;postID=5133693598077192344' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8826262314804298097/posts/default/5133693598077192344'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8826262314804298097/posts/default/5133693598077192344'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://j-brian.blogspot.com/2009/03/changes.html' title='CHANGES'/><author><name>JB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11813002309127068119</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q6xk2U-K9Dw/SLj11z1FakI/AAAAAAAAAAc/yPMA0BnHE74/S220/Jude%27sBangka+070-1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826262314804298097.post-3364966190331623103</id><published>2008-11-15T16:01:00.008+08:00</published><updated>2008-11-16T12:47:42.927+08:00</updated><title type='text'>I'm Still Here</title><content type='html'>Ola dear readers! haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You might be wondering why this blog has not updated itself for the past few weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason my dear friends is utterly incomprehensible.. Totally outrageous and beserk I tell you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friends, I've become what I've always feared the most..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yes you got it right. JB has become a lazy, lousy, good for nothing sloth. hahahaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And am I to be blamed for this? Nah. haha. I have my study load to be blamed for that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though seriously, I missed writing here in my dear blog and talking to anonymous and invisible so-called readers.. haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what kept me busy these past few weeks?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. RESEARCH! hahaha. Though finally, I hope I'm never gonna see a single, damn watermelon seed soon nor drink another glass of watermelon juice. Oh yeah, we passed our oral defense thanks to numerous sleepless nights so gone are the days of research worries and finally hello to graduation. ^^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q6xk2U-K9Dw/SR-lS8x7aqI/AAAAAAAAAF4/A5mnWjA1yLA/s1600-h/research.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q6xk2U-K9Dw/SR-lS8x7aqI/AAAAAAAAAF4/A5mnWjA1yLA/s400/research.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269111834018540194" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Halloween vacation. I went home to our place for about a week. I missed home and man, it was really good. My mom decided to buy herself a PC so that my dad and us can connect in cyberspace. haha. Talk about being cyber-techie. But nevertheless, my vacation ended up with me lecturing my mom on how to start YM (yeah, that little smiley icon mom, hehehe) and teaching her how to call from one PC to another, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Driving Lessons. Suprised? hehehe. I got my driver's license when I came home to our place so my dad decided it's about time for me to learn the tricks of the road. I enrolled myself in Prodrive (the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;oldest&lt;/span&gt; driving school in Cebu). Tip for other students, don't fight with your instructors and don't forget to step on the clutch! haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. School requirements and enrollment. I still have a dozen of requirements to make and I'm still halfway through with them. So good luck to me! hahaha. ^^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. NMAT review. Yes I know. NMAT needs no review, it's easy, just simple high school stuff, blah blah.. But since I started answering the sample test booklet, I realized, this IS hard. haha. I can't even solve simple quadratic equations and remember basic physics formula! So I'm taking the time to review these stuff so that I'm ready for Dec.14. haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aside from this, I still have enhancement skills and board exam review sessions to attend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus, we're assigned to CDUH - NIGHT shift next week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh well, more time to study then. haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Till my next blog..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Au2 mo mga invisible readers! Hahaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;p.s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm back in the gym again. Plus I'm trying a new diet. haha. Hope this one works. ^^&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8826262314804298097-3364966190331623103?l=j-brian.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://j-brian.blogspot.com/feeds/3364966190331623103/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8826262314804298097&amp;postID=3364966190331623103' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8826262314804298097/posts/default/3364966190331623103'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8826262314804298097/posts/default/3364966190331623103'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://j-brian.blogspot.com/2008/11/im-still-here.html' title='I&apos;m Still Here'/><author><name>JB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11813002309127068119</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q6xk2U-K9Dw/SLj11z1FakI/AAAAAAAAAAc/yPMA0BnHE74/S220/Jude%27sBangka+070-1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q6xk2U-K9Dw/SR-lS8x7aqI/AAAAAAAAAF4/A5mnWjA1yLA/s72-c/research.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826262314804298097.post-8961721593953315651</id><published>2008-10-04T08:53:00.011+08:00</published><updated>2008-10-04T10:02:22.192+08:00</updated><title type='text'>I'm Feeling Optimistic Today!</title><content type='html'>Good morning y'all! haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good thing I woke up on the good side of the bed today.

Lol. Plus the writer's block has completely taken over me and I find it really hard to find the right words to say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I guess I owe you a rundown on what's happening on my rather arduous and dreary life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Operating Room exposure was a big drab. I got stuck with completely nothing to do and I felt totally useless the whole week. But hey, complete OR standing and unlimited viewing access to cool surgeries aint that bad right? haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By weekend, we got to taste Borbon's fiesta goodness courtesy of Noelle. All i can say is..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Unlimited food + disco-ral + beach party + yeah let me stress again LOTS AND LOTS OF FOOD = 4lbs weight gain. hahaha. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Nevertheless I had great fun with some good friends and it was nice to get away from the city even for just a while and get to feel the province atmosphere again. I'm terribly missing home as of the moment. Can't wait for the semester to end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week we were thrown into the far-flung area of Mactan Doctors' Hospital. To make matters worse, we were assigned in the night shift. Argh! Just my luck. So the whole week I was feeling groggy, weary and grouchy plus I can attest to myself that I'm now officially a caffeine addict. hahaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finals exam is just around the corner and we still have a long way to go till we finish our thesis. By next week, requirements will be checked and Im about 20% finished with my tasks. Lol. I still have to make:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;7 Post Partum Requirements&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;5 Post-Operative Rounds&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 Super Overdue Dengue Case Study&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;3 Labor Watch Records&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 High-Risk Newborn Complete Requirement&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Management Worksheets&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;On a lighter side, only 82 days to go till my favorite season of the year! Please refer to my Christmas Wishlist for a complete list on what will make me happy this holiday. hahaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's just see then what's in store for me in the coming days. But for now, I must take some much needed rest and dream that all will be well. hahaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Gud nyt sa mga nag-night shift!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8826262314804298097-2002001616375769389?l=j-brian.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://j-brian.blogspot.com/feeds/2002001616375769389/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8826262314804298097&amp;postID=2002001616375769389' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8826262314804298097/posts/default/2002001616375769389'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8826262314804298097/posts/default/2002001616375769389'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://j-brian.blogspot.com/2008/10/its-been-while.html' title='It&apos;s Been A While'/><author><name>JB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11813002309127068119</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q6xk2U-K9Dw/SLj11z1FakI/AAAAAAAAAAc/yPMA0BnHE74/S220/Jude%27sBangka+070-1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826262314804298097.post-6927876692928971110</id><published>2008-09-15T01:03:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2008-09-17T02:56:49.147+08:00</updated><title type='text'>DR Preoccupied</title><content type='html'>I stand opposed to what I've said from my last post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no Last Day of Duty Syndrome. I've come to believe that it is but a series of unperceived, unfathomable powers of the cosmos, from which we have no absolute control. To further justify this premise let me narrate to you the exact details of my whole DR experience today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We've been beating our asses down the DR area the whole afternoon. Imagine this. 7 deliveries. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;SEVEN &lt;/span&gt;I tell you, and there were only 6 of us since our group was divided into two shifts. I've just started doing my labor watch with my cheery, expectant mother (oh yeah, a nice conversation is a good pain diversion), when all of a sudden I was pulled out to scrub in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While all 3 delivery rooms were occupied, another mother was on the way in since her baby is already crowning (the baby's head is starting to show). So imagine the extreme tense in the atmosphere while all the babies were born. Our clinical instructor had to practically run from the nursery to the delivery room to supervise all of us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore I'm forced to conclude that the feeling of "busyness" doesn't only come on Fridays but on Mondays too. LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the  duty hours just went on and on and on. I dare not whine though. This &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;is &lt;/span&gt;a blessing and it doesn't come quite often. So yey for that. hahaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Current delivery standing for now: 4-handles, 3-assists, 1-labor watch. Yahoo! haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only 3 more cases to go till DR completion. So friends, let's pray for that! haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But for now, I'm pretty worn-out and my bed is practically seducing me to slumberland.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, I'll be posting some pictures from the TGIF gang every now and then. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Guys, kita2 ta panagsa.&lt;/span&gt; haha. I believe these were taken from Toni Mai's birthday bash at KFC Ayala.

Call me superstitious or what, but there's definitely something fishy about that one particular day which leaves us with nothing but sore feet, beaten up looks, fatigue and an inexplicable state of exhaustion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All throughout the week, I was assigned to the Intensive Care Unit where I was given only one patient throughout the entire shift. Yey for that. hahaha. But even though she was in an altered state of consciousness, it was still quite challenging considering that she has these so many needs. To enumerate a few, that includes vital signs monitoring every 15 minutes, turning schedule every 4 hours, routine suctioning (since she's ventilator dependent), tracheostomy care, perineal care, oral care and environmental care. Then there's the occasional battle with the poop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Friday, I was assigned to the Emergency Room. Since this is already my 3rd rotation to the area, I already expected that I won't be as  much occupied like in the ICU. What a relief! haha. But the LDD Syndrome strikes again and our immediate thoughts of relief were gone pronto! haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By 4pm, the ER was jam-packed with patients and all the beds from the pedia, medical, surgical and OB cases were already full. I was assigned to the medical area but I helped out Brylle in the Pedia section where they had a total of 10 patients! Since the hospital floors have no available rooms yet, the admitted patients had to wait in the ER while we attend to all their needs. We had two dengue patients, both of which were seriously ill. The other one had to be taken to the PICU since his platelet count was too low and his BP started crashing. Imagine tending to 8 IV lines while giving a 1200cc IVTT PNSS Bolus! The rest of the duty was full with other patients ranging from motor vehicular accidents to minor cuts and suturing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kind of reminds me of the time we had our Operating Room / Delivery Room rotation at South General Hospital. It was the last day of duty and we were all about to leave the area when out of nowhere there were 2 stat operations and 2 mothers who are about to give birth. Instead of going home at 10pm, we were able to leave the area at around 2pm. haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a completely different note, I woke up pretty late today and I'm stuck with nothing else to do but blab here in my dear blog. haha. Oh yeah, below are some shots taken last Tuesday when James, Nowie, Kevin and I decided to hang-out at Figaro's to make our school requirements.

I woke up pretty late for my 7:30 class with our Dean. To top it all off, I experienced firsthand the horrible traffic in the South Reclamation Project. Seriously guys, you wouldn't wanna be there during the busy hours of the day. Especially on Mondays. Lesson learned. Tsk tsk..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was able to reach school at around 8:00 and the whole morning was filled with lectures and endless questionings. Tip for the next class. Read RA9173. Lesson learned again. Oh yeah, and the quote for the day "I don't want you to pass. I want you to learn!", naks! haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All day I felt groggy since I haven't had much sleep last night.  So I just slept at the library (good thing I wasn't visible behind the huge stack of books.. haha) while waiting for our review classes to start. Because of the lack of sleep the blues kicked in which turned to immediate thoughts of suicidal ideation.. haha.. Weird right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, fast forward the events, after review class, Noelle and I decided to head straight to Larsian for some good, old barbecue fix. haha. It went out great since the rest of the gang decided to come with us. There's definitely nothing like some tasty chicken skin to chase those blues away. haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there's the CITOM chase. hahaha.. dakop2! As what Jude aptly said, "Bai mura mig nag-Fast and the Furious! wahahahaha!!".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yeah, Lor, Noelle and I got nearly trapped at Robinson's Mall before we headed straight to Club Ultima. haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some pics from our brief stroll around Club Ultima. By the way, Mr. Long, you should  definitely treat us for a day at the pool. hahaha. 100 ra ha? yaw &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;300&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. hahahaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q6xk2U-K9Dw/SLy2Bm5_CwI/AAAAAAAAABI/v5uZiFF0roA/s1600-h/11+copy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q6xk2U-K9Dw/SLy2Bm5_CwI/AAAAAAAAABI/v5uZiFF0roA/s320/11+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241264205092293378" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q6xk2U-K9Dw/SLy2wYdMp4I/AAAAAAAAABQ/s3YZQIO2usc/s1600-h/7.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q6xk2U-K9Dw/SLy2wYdMp4I/AAAAAAAAABQ/s3YZQIO2usc/s320/7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241265008667305858" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q6xk2U-K9Dw/SLy3q0fgBhI/AAAAAAAAABY/yc7SgCShPXk/s1600-h/13+copy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q6xk2U-K9Dw/SLy3q0fgBhI/AAAAAAAAABY/yc7SgCShPXk/s320/13+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241266012625569298" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q6xk2U-K9Dw/SLy36EM8BMI/AAAAAAAAABg/2MHnnVnVp0E/s1600-h/14+copy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q6xk2U-K9Dw/SLy36EM8BMI/AAAAAAAAABg/2MHnnVnVp0E/s320/14+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241266274540717250" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks again Noelle for the pics! haha..

I woke up kinda late today, around 11am, so instead of catching up my usual mass at Basilica Minore del Sto. Nino, I decided to change my schedule for the day and instead hear mass before I go swimming this afternoon. (oh yeah, I do swim.. nyahaha..)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I did my usual morning rituals, read my overflowing txt messages (gosh someone misses me! hahaha) and fixed my bed. When I  was already downstairs, I noticed my little sister was doing the laundry and all of them already ate their breakfast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To my complete horror and utter disbelief, my little sister just calmly said, "Kuya imong badge naguba" ("Big Bro, your badge is broken.") There and then I realized I forgot to take off my badge and nameplate before I tossed my uniform to the laundry basket. Waaaaaaaa!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The whole essence of my senior student nurse life is now broken, warped, annihilated, ruined, wasted, gone, na-da, non-existent! And to top it all off, my nameplate's pin was completely severed from the plate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All because of this evil, good-for-nothing washing machine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yeah, did I mention, duty month is about a week from now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm doomed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just hope Suarez would still make me a new one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somebody save me! haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q6xk2U-K9Dw/SLoctl7271I/AAAAAAAAABA/-AHAgIPWl6E/s1600-h/PICT0093.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q6xk2U-K9Dw/SLoctl7271I/AAAAAAAAABA/-AHAgIPWl6E/s320/PICT0093.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240532686001860434" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8826262314804298097-3495807125917371778?l=j-brian.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://j-brian.blogspot.com/feeds/3495807125917371778/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8826262314804298097&amp;postID=3495807125917371778' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8826262314804298097/posts/default/3495807125917371778'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8826262314804298097/posts/default/3495807125917371778'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://j-brian.blogspot.com/2008/08/evil-washing-machine.html' title='Evil Washing Machine'/><author><name>JB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11813002309127068119</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q6xk2U-K9Dw/SLj11z1FakI/AAAAAAAAAAc/yPMA0BnHE74/S220/Jude%27sBangka+070-1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q6xk2U-K9Dw/SLoctl7271I/AAAAAAAAABA/-AHAgIPWl6E/s72-c/PICT0093.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826262314804298097.post-7103154342835860541</id><published>2008-08-30T18:46:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-09-13T03:01:59.158+08:00</updated><title type='text'>First Scribble</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q6xk2U-K9Dw/SLksonJ07FI/AAAAAAAAAA4/DT_Yw3tSlAM/s1600-h/PICT0393.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q6xk2U-K9Dw/SLksonJ07FI/AAAAAAAAAA4/DT_Yw3tSlAM/s320/PICT0393.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240268717638872146" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bo yah! haha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you can read this, I probably was successful in publishing my FIRST ever blog.. Who ever thought making your own mark in the blogosphere would be this , hmm, shall i say, TEDIOUS?.. haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, this would probably be the first of the myriad posts of usual rants and mindless scribbles that I may occasionally publish given the fact that I'm too lazy or I'm too busy doing all sort of crazy stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So please bear with the author if The Daily Scribbles failed to produce a new post on a day-to-day basis.. haha.. But nevertheless, I'll try to update you on what's going on my dull and undramatic life. I'm sure you'll be pretty excited to know such personal events.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd probably write in a shorter version so as not to bore you my dear, faithful readers.. hahaha. And since this is a public blog, I'd try to keep sensitive stuff out of the blogosphere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man, just writing this post made me sooo darn sleepy.. haha.. I slept pretty late last night due to some unforeseen events.. Force Majeure wasn't it James?.. haha. Time to grab the pillows then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ciao..
