February 11th, 2007 by as-told-by-nito

may gani gipagawas mi ug sayo…nag-inarte baya to ang guard…may gani napirmahan mi ug permit…saun gud, lapas na baya alas-9 pero ang guard lupigan pa ug warden, gi-padlock gyud ang gate…tsk,tsk,tsk…thanks sa nagpa-pirma…wa diay ko ni-log-out kay pag-9 nangita man ko ug log-out, pero wa man log-out form…therefore, walay log-out…: )

kuan pud diay, congratz sa ga-organize sa show…bisan dili gyud siya bongga, pasado ra gihapon…nalingaw ra pud ang audience…bwisit lang gyud ang ubang audience kay murag naa sa wowowee…karon pa ko kakita ug nag-tan-aw ug pageant na gadala ug placards…saunz, TFC subscriber mo dong ug day?

just my point of view, no need for you people to go ballistic against me…i was merely airing my opinions…just practicing my inherent rights…

kuan, pahabol…sa mga mag-duty sa ward 7, regards nya ko sa mga pasyente ngadto…

my nurse’s prayer…

February 5th, 2007 by as-told-by-nito

Bless me Oh Lord, for I am about to begin the days work…or should i say torture(?)…teach me to recieve the sick in Thy Name…but really Lord, sick people i could stand…unruly instructors are a different story…it is Thy work Sweet Jesus, without Thee, we can do nothing…exactly my point, why do we all go through the trouble of telling these people to take these meds and buy this and that when we dont even have time to tell them to ask the Lord to make them well, after all, it’s His job…(i forgot the rest of the prayer, but i’m sure it ends this way)…make us beautiful within for the sake of the sick ones and the lives that would be affected by them…yes Lord, considering the constant attacks on our self-esteem, i’m glad that at least You still think that were beautiful enough…

* * * * * * * * * *

really, no offense to the VSMMC Staff or to whoever composed that prayer…but I HONESTLY DONT LIKE PRAYING IT!!!

but before you cast me to the fiery pits of hell, allow me to explain…

i dont like praying that prayer, because it simply does not feel like praying at all…the words dont mean anything to me, and i cant seem to find any meaning in it…no offense to whoever wrote, i know his/her intentions were good…but with all the monotony and the lack of feelings that student nurses and staff nurses mumble it day by day…it just doesnt make any sense to me…prayer is talking to God, and i honestly dont like talking to him in a way that i dont prefer in the first place…

dont get me wrong though, as a catholic, i’ve learned to love our structured prayers and formulas…

its just this nurses prayer that i cant seem to like…and i dont why…

well, theres no point with this whole entry anyway…just plain nonsense from a caffeine high…but at least you now know that i dont like the standard nurses prayer…just dont bother asking my why…

religious outburst

January 27th, 2007 by as-told-by-nito

to my avid fans–hahaha as if i have any–forgive me for that outburst of religiousity on the previous post…i might have freaked you out…

but hey, the Vatican might find my blog entry useful should they decide to open up the cause for my canonization right after i die…hehehe…

just in case you guys think that i’m an atheist, well allow me to clarify things…i’m not…i do believe in God…i even have a crucifix hanging round my neck…

but that’s just about it…i honestly dont think that i’m in good terms with Him…although He does nice things for me every once in a while–or does He do it more frequently than i think?

well, that’s just about it…enjoy the rest of the weekend…

sinulog 2007–procession

January 22nd, 2007 by as-told-by-nito

i’m proud and glad to say that this has been the best procession that i
have been to–not just because of the fact that it ended before
darkness fell–but more importantly because i got the feeling that
‘lakas diay ko ni Lord’

picture this…

i woke up at around 12 noon, got dressed up, and left the house at about 2…

there was a roadblock at CCMC, and i had to walk from there to the
corner of Kingsmen Pharmacy, thinking to myself that the Senyor would
still be in the basilica at that time…only to find out that as i was
approaching the corner, the carrosa of the Senyor was already heading
towards my way…

so i didnt pass up the great oppurtunity, and i actually pushed myself
into the human barrier…i was able to get pass the barrier of NSTP
students blocking the sidewalk without any effort, but was stuck all
throughout the parade with the human chain surrounding the
carroza…but i just didnt want to give up…seems like the ‘bato
balani sa gugma’ got me magnetized…

despite the warnings and taunts of the officers asking us to keep away
from the cordon, i just didnt comply…i even remember saying defiant
lines to them such as "bisan pa ug pusilon ko ninyo dinhi, dili gyud ko
mohawa…tawo ra mo ug Ginoo ang akong gisundan…ang Kardinal ra
tingali ang makapahawa nako dinhi…"

thus i walked just a few meters from the Senyor all throughout the rest
of the procession…daghan kaayo ug photo-op, too bad i didnt bring a
cam along…but the greatest thing that happened during my day didnt
take place until we reached the cathedral…although i was tempted to
step out of the procession so that i could check out
the museum, the draw of the ‘bato balani’ was just too irresitible…

and who would have thought, that after the procession went pass the
cathedral, and after the hermano and hermana, together with their
guests left the cordon, i was able to finally penetrate the human
barrier, and was able to walk unobstructed within the cordon…

i sped on without having to face any resistance through the now empty
street–cleared off of people so that the carroza may enter the gate of
the basilica–right into the outer court of the basilica, where no less
than the Cardinal himself and some other bishops were anticipating the
Senyor…i even remember seeing him look at me, maybe puzzled as to why
a civilian got through the cordon…and the knights of colombus and the
guards didnt even stop me…and thus when the Senyor finally came in
the outer court of the basilica, i was standing there a few meters from
the carozza and the Cardinal’s entourage…while the rest of the
devotees were ‘caged’ in the other side of the Pilgirim Center and were
not allowed to approach until the Senyor was safe inside the basilica…

miracle? i dont know about you…but for me…it truly was…

seems like the Little King has a special place in His heart for me after all…

and to cap the day, just as the entrance antiphon of Alleluia was being
sung, a rainbow appeared right over the main altar of the pilgrim
center…

a sign which, as interpreted by the celebrant Bishop Du, as God’s
promise, that He will never destroy our people…which inspired a
thunderous applause from the crowd more than any part of the Mass…

what a blessed day it was…

news commentaries 01706

January 17th, 2007 by as-told-by-nito

it was on the news just today…students blinded by the false promises of communism, staging a rally in front of the US Embassy, condemning the US for her acts of ‘terrorism’ and her ‘evil imperialism’…

they should talk…

look closely, and you’ll see them sporting Jansport bags, and at least one wearing Abercrombie and Fitch…

hows that from supposedly enemies of US Imperialism and Capitalism? bwahahaha….

student activism at its finest? i dont think so…more like pinoy hypocrisy at it’s worst…

today’s beggars, tomorrow’s scum…

December 22nd, 2006 by as-told-by-nito

before you start calling me anti-poor, an elitist, a champion for the cause of the rich…allow me to explain myself…

it’s all about a group of 5 or more kids that frequent the parking lot of USC girls high where my sister and cousins go to school. you see, these 5 kids, ages ranging probably from 6 to 13, make a living out of begging from the students that pass by the parking lot during dismissal time. they would approach the students and beg for food or money, or both, they’d even follow you around all the way to your vehicle where they would gaze at you and stare pathetically from the outside of your car window…

looks very pitiful, right?

but mind you, looks can be decieving, i had a fair share of these kids true colors…in fact, before i got to really know what kind of children these kids are, it was even part of my routine whenever i was at san carlos to give money to these children, hoping that somehow i was helping their families, i was wrong, very wrong…

you see, when one day, after my usual dole out routine, i happened to come upon the child whom i had given some money to earlier, only to find out that he was there on the street corner playing cards and gambling with other kids…although it wasnt really that shocking at first, since i didnt really fully comprehend the situation, when i finally did, it was really disturbing…

and worse comes to worse, since i found out from my sister after talking to her about these kids, was that these beggars would actually harass those pupils who wont give them anything, some even stealing food from the students, and even giving sorts of verbal threats to students who wont give in to their requests…my cousin even recounted an incident when this little girl came to her begging for food, and when she gave that child the sandwich that she was eating, the beggar wouldnt accept it, and instead asked for the unopended pack of nova on her other hand, i exclaimed, "what the f*ck! beggars can never be choosers!"

damn! these children, poor and helpless as they may seem, are actually starting to get into my nerves…begging for food, and practicing extortion just to get it…practicing extortion as early now! it’s very disturbing…i could easily imagine seeing these little boys turn into hold-uppers and snatchers, and these innocent looking little girls turn into hookers in the not so far future…

im not writing this to condemn these children, or anyone in particular–hey, that would destroy my bid for sainthood–instead, i want every rational being out there, who happen to be reading this piece of ‘nonsense’ right now, to ponder on this issue and on the possible implications it would have on our society…

lets help each other help these children out of the streets and into school…

merry christmas and a blessed new year to all!

celebrity look-alikes

November 30th, 2006 by as-told-by-nito

wahahahaha…i look-like angelina jolie daw…

thats probably the reason why our debate teacher asked me to stand up in class and popped the question: "what would you do if you were Angeline Jolie?"

now i know why…hehehehe…

and oh, until know, i didnt know that making testimonials for people does pay off…since i got this whole celebrity face matching thing from yang’s testimonials…hehehe…thanks yang…

so angelina jolie eh? i wonder…when will i start recieving movie contracts?

and oh, thats probably why the Canadian Embassy kept asking for more photos of me…could it be? a future career in Canada as a movie star? I’m thrilled…hehehe…

psychiatric nursing oral revalida question: distinguish between hallucination, delusion, and illusion…hehehe

P.S> and oh, using another pic, i found out that i look 57% like Sassy Girl…a future in Korea perhaps? lol…

off guard

November 7th, 2006 by as-told-by-nito

you never cease to amaze me…how you caught me off guard, when just this afternoon you asked me who the girl in my blog was…

i couldnt give you a straight answer…knowing that theres not as much chance as a snowball in hell for you to feel the same…i dont get the point of telling you to your face…

i’ll just be contented with the fact that at least, i could look at you…and have even a moment’s worth of a trivial chat with you…this would suffice…

it sucks…no matter how hard i tell myself to snap out of this infatuation…my mind’s just stuck…i cant wake up…you’ve got me dreaming…wishing…this infatuation just wont seem to end…

you never cease to amaze me…how you made me fill this blog with my obsessed thoughts of you…you never cease to amaze me…how you caught me off guard…
