PGMA’s Medical Check-Up… (News FAIL)

July 2nd, 2009 by Dianne Peña

Who would have thought the President of the Philippines, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo have breast implants???????!!!!!!!

picture-1

President Arroyo underwent removal and replacement of breast silicone implants at a hospital in Muntinlupa City, a source told the Manila Bulletin.

Click here for the full article.

I can’t see the logic why the hell would they write a NEWS REPORT like this?

Is that right? Calling Manila Bulletin???

Oh well, I have nothing against PGMA, what I am trying to say is that, the news writers should not have written this in the first place.

In addition, I just want to point out the misuse of words in the article particularly the word “check-in” and “check-out”. Since they are referring to a hospital, they should have used “admitted” and “discharged” because I believe “check-in” and “check-out” is only used when referring to hotels/motels.

This is just my stand regarding this.

Super Bowl of China never runs out of super treats for their valued costumers because after releasing their new dishes last December 2008, Superbowl is offering now another batch of delicious and exciting dishes starting TODAY, July 1, 2009.

Introducing their new delectable dishes starting of with:

As I have observed, Super Bowl of China not only offered Chinese dishes but is also offering American dishes starting this July.

Beef Fillet Chinese Style (P260)- it is an old Super Bowl of China favorite that is now making a comeback, which comprises of a tender and succulent beef steak atop a bed of red and green bell peppers and onion bathed in sweet, tasty Beijing sauce.

lemon-fish

Crispy Fish Fillet with Lemon and Plum Sauce (P240)- it is a whole breaded fish fillet, combined with minced vegetables and selected spices for an extremely flavorful dish. This dish is soused with spicy plum and lemon sauce that ill surely give fish lovers a delight.

Last but not the least, my favorite of all four (4) new dishes, Hot and Spicy Chicken (P250)- is a tender and juicy cuts of seasoned bone-in chicken fried to a golden brown crisp and mixed with onions, bell peppers and secret spices.

So there you have it, Super Bowl of China’s new dishes for you to enjoy.

But wait, Super Bowl is not done yet with their new offers, they also introduced us to their fun foodie mascots:

Nursing Board Exam Tips 01: Current Health Issues

May 12th, 2009 by Dianne Peña

Current health issues are now becoming a trend in the Nursing Board Examination. Since the Board of Nursing is now incorporating board questions about recent health issues in the country, might as well give you certain topics that might come out:

1. Ebola Virus
2. SUICIDE (due to the “Ted Failon Issue”)
3. HIV/AIDS
4. H1N1 Swine Flu Virus (the recent outbreak) and also here.
5. Leukemia (due to the death of Francis Magalona)

P.S
This is just from the text message that I received few weeks ago from my school mates and friends, as the cliché goes, THERE’S NO HARM IN TRYING so why not read about these topics right? :]]

Course Syllabus/Outline for Nursing Licensure Exam (NLE)

May 12th, 2009 by Dianne Peña

In my review class today, our concept is about professional adjustment. Our reviewer told us that to be able to pass the board exam, the trick is to know the specialization of the Board of Nursing because from that, you will know on where to focus in the review. He showed us the pictures of the current Board of Nursing and their specializations at the same time, he discussed their qualifications and how they made it to their positions (one of the sub-topic in Professional Adjustment).

Our reviewer told us to visit the website of the Board of Nursing and download the course outline/syllabus of the Nursing Licensure Exam. Less do people know that there is such thing. As I visit the site, I noticed that from the thousands of people who will be taking the Nursing Board Exam, there are only 1000 hits in that particular downloadable file.

I would also like to share it with you and I hope that this will help you in passing the Nursing Board Exam and not only to pass but to top it.

Good Luck and God Bless!!!

Please click here for the downloadable file in MS Word format.

Thankful with FEU-NURSING AUDIT

May 1st, 2009 by Dianne Peña

Now that I am half through my formal review class, there is one thing that I realized…

It’s a good thing that FEU added the NURSING AUDIT in our curriculum because it became very advantageous for me since in my review, we are just tasked to answer test examinations and then the reviewers will just discuss the rationale behind the correct answers. If they will discuss the specific disease or topic, it is just brief due to time constraints.

I am very thankful that we had great reviewers and I had taken the lectures and the exams seriously (though, I am always late or even half day… hehehe!). Yes, I must admit that IT IS SOOOOOO D-I-F-F-I-C-U-L-T but it made me confident because I feel that Tamaraws really has an edge for that matter.

With that, I would like to share with you a text message containing some taglines of our reviewers, compiled, forwarded and revolved around FEU-IN BATCH 2009’s text messages. I, myself received this text message couple of times. This was made last February 2009.

“Hindi importante dito kung gaano kataas anf scores mo, ang mahalaga, natuto ka…”
- Maam Mhel
“Hindi hadlang anf below average lang na I.Q…”
- Sir Aliswag
“Para pumasa ka sa board exam, di pwedeng aral ng aral…”
- Maam Tan
“Matuto kayong mangaram mga AMBISYOSA…”
- Sir Nonog
“An intelligent person is the one who admits he doesn’t know ever-zeirything…”
- Sir Ranjo
“You’re not a chicken, you’re an eagle…”
- Sir Pondang
“Gawin mong inspirasyon si Bebe boy, Bebe girl…”
- Sir Asuncion
“Gwapo pala ang kuya mo, sana noon mo pa ko sinama sa bahay niyo, Beybeh…”
- Sir Laboy

When can I have a DUTY again?

May 1st, 2009 by Dianne Peña

I know this is long been overdue. I would just like to share with you a text message that my classmate JONAS, had forwarded last February 2009.

As I recalled, this was the time that we we’re struggling for experiences.  We all can relate with this text message. Our graduation is fast approaching. We feel that we were running out of time because we don’t know as to when can we practice our profession again. I posted this because recently, I have been asking myself as when will I wear my nursing cap again? Is it Sooner or is it Later?

So here it is:

Panalangin ng isang FEU Nursing Student

Dear Lord,
Duty na naman. Sanama naman po huwang na kaming toxic-kin ng C.I sa kaka-Vital Signs at Charting. Bigyan niyo naman ako ng patient na pwede man lang mag-IV, NGT o kahit Catheter. Sawa na ako sa V/S Nursing. Ubos na din ang pera ko sa pamasahe papunta sa ospital na sobrang layo. Bukod sa walang case, minsan wala naman patient. Kung may patient naman, TB naman ang case.

Kamusta naman? Lord, sana po tumae ng cases ang kalabaw ng FEU. Di pa ako kumpleto ng OR at DR, meron nga Cord Care, bigay naman. Buti pa ang birhen ng Fatima, Milagrosa. Lahat sila may case. Ang kalabaw ng FEU, role model tuloy sa amin. Pati kami, endangered na. Pesteng Audit pa, mukhang maeextinct na kami bago mag-board.

Lord? Nakikinig ka ba? I guess you’re using silence as a form of therapeutic communication (naks.). Kuba na sila nanay at tatay. Huwag na sama kaming pabilhin ng bagong sapatos at uniform na isang beses lang naman gagamitin para sa grad. Ibis na pinangkain ko na lang yoon sa masasarap na kainan sa lerma, ibubulsa pa ng iba.

At higit sa lahat Lord, mahal ko ang school ko. Sana naman bago ako gumgraduate maramdaman ko din na mahal din ako ng FEU.

AMEN.

P.S
Wala bang ipopost mortem jan Lord?

Graduation BLOCK.

May 1st, 2009 by Dianne Peña

I honestly have been meaning to blog about every “bloggable” detail in my life after graduation. However, as you can see, I have been in such a very long hiatus. There are a lot of things that I should have blogged about, some of which were now obsolete because for those things, I don’t really know where to start.

Two weeks ago, I have cleaned my room, FINALLY. I was hoping that from there, I could determine the beginning of fulfilling the things that I NEED to do and the things that I WANT to do. I have thrown away clutters and even papers, which were 5-inch thick, I have changed the arrangement of things in my table and I have labeled it too. However, when I finished it all, I was frozen. Frozen, for the reason that I don’t know what to do next.

Since second year college, we were taught with our Primary Health Care subjects on how to prioritize health problems existing in an individual, families and community until our fourth year in our Nursing Care Management subjects. We’ve been taught to compute and justify our priority problem. For all the case studies and nursing processes we’ve made, we’ve became good at it.

Ironically, now, I am having a hard time prioritizing as to what to do first. My WANT-TO-DO List or My NEED-TO-DO List (How I wish I even had a list). I think what’s making it a hard thing is because it is ALL just in my MIND. I feel CONGESTED. Plus the fact that I was USED in following a routine MOST of my entire life because of SCHOOL and so now that I have graduated, EVERYTHING is back on square one and I am ON MY OWN.

I feel that I have THIS deadline that is responsible for ME having troubles making decisions for myself. I am always in conflict with THE NEEDS and THE WANTS. MAYBE, just MAYBE… This is but another phase in my life called — ADJUSTMENT. I have to be used to my new WAY OF LIVING but FIRST, I need to get on working with it. I need to have my mind SET. I need to construct a NEW framework for this NEW phase of life.

Hope to do it right.

With hopes high… I CAN DO IT… :]]

EMO 101: At least a goodbye…

April 8th, 2009 by Dianne Peña

Trivia about me:
My poetic self enfolds during the night…
Writing poem is a way for me to detoxify the bad elements out of my system
It is a way for me to regain my homeostasis…:]]

So here’s something that I wrote few nights ago… (using my SE phone… LOL!)

Is it worth to wait and hope
Or is it the end, I feel so cold

It’s been a while and I miss you so
Please tell me if you needed to go

Don’t hang me in this plight of ours
Cause I am happy by your side even for enth hours

Are we still on it
Or am I on my own feet

Spare my mind in this cloudy confusion
Are you sending clues for my own realization

I know it is not manly for you
I am sorry but I want what is true

Is this your way of saying goodbye
Tell me and look straight into my eyes

Are you continuing just “for the sake”
Don’t show me what I feel is fake

Please say that you’re still here
But if you can’t, at least a “Goodbye” my dear

EMO 101: I dont wanna…

April 8th, 2009 by Dianne Peña

Here’s something that I do to release stress and disappointments as to my whereabouts… Hope you’ll like it…

I don’t wanna let you know how I feel anymore
Cause I can see you’re not the same as before

Is it because I let you feel I am so into you
Or is it because I became out of the blue

Sometimes I miss you and sometimes I don’t
Do I still want this or I just had an antidote

I wonder if this will change
Or this is just a phase

Will we go back to those blissful moments
Or is this a sign of another torment

You told me things I now believe
But why does it suddenly leave

Help me to ignore you
If this is your goodbye cue

Please don’t let me feel this way
Cause I don’t want another dismay
