Discovery of old and new

Rearranging my schedule to fit reviews, additional work to be brought home, and doing my chores, I found some time to do some recreational things (shop and some artwork mostly). Let's move clockwise, ok? :D

First up, the new Pepsi Deluxe, which comes in 2 flavors: Caramel, and Strawberry and Cream. It's actually nice, if you could only get past the idea that your drinking cola that tastes like strawberries and cream. It's almost like you're drinking an ice cream float because it's smooth on the throat.

I also repaired my precious stone bracelet. This is actually the second time it broke, although on the first I did not lose any of the beads. On the second, however, some flew off in very far directions and are so minuscule that I can't find it. So I replaced these with other beads and created my own pattern.

I created my own cellphone tag as well. I mixed and matched the designs of things I thought would go well and, voila!, my own masterpiece... Hehe... The challenging part for me was making sure that not much empty spaces would be left but at the saqme time not overcrowding the whole thing. I think I did pretty well on that aspect.

That clear cute panda coin bank was something I discovered in a small stall. Thay had all these nice coinbanks in different colors and designs that I was really inclined to buy them all. Unfortunately, I was off my budget so was only able to buy one...

Drool-a-rama

I have just spotted a drool-worthy guy (to all the girls out there!)... I noticed him before when he played a certain good guy masquerading as a bad guy in the Disney Channel Movie "Sky High". He is now playing the lead role in the epic drama about a very ancient civilization. According to my sources, he also used to be in a band ~ playing the lead singer ~ but left it to pursue his acting career (a multi-talented guy!!! ~ what a catch).

Here he is as Warren Peace (Sky High)
And here he is as D'Leh (10,000B.C)










And finally, his latests pic from the premiere night of his latest movie...

He is Steven Strait!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

New Widgets

I have updated this blog once again (I just hope it doesn't get too crowded though)... Hope ya'll like the new things I've added! Feel free to ask me if you'd like the same for your own site. I'd gladly help!

Jut simple plain old me

I got sick (cough, colds, a slight fever, and a massive headache) and had my period all in one day! On top of that, I have low blood pressure whenever I get my period so I am very prone to OS (Orthostatic Hypotension ~ fellow medical practitioners, you know what I mean!). This certainly feels like the end of the world for me... How's that for a bad day?

I think this year is starting pretty bad for me, considering how the first quarter of this year is turning out. I am still waiting for my luck to suddenly make a complete turnabout... I think I need to consult the "I Ching" and the "Tarot" for this (didn't I mention I knew how to use these things?) and how to go about my current situation...

Board Certificate

PRC Board Certificate

  • Go to window 19 of Main Building. Ask for "Board Certificate" and give your PRC license.
  • Wait for your name to be called.
  • After receiving the Board Certificate, have a METERED STAMP placed on it.
  • Go back to Window 19, where they will place a dry seal on your Board Certificate.

Note: You need not pay for anything!!!

Another Bad Day

Whenever I go to PRC, I really get so fuming mad. I went there last Friday (March 7, 2008) to get my Board Certificate, but unfortunately, they were giving out those for the names from A to Fortaleza. (And no, you don't need to pay for anything when you go to get your Board Certificate)

Now, I don't want to be judgemental or anything, but could they possibly hurry up their jobs. Those who passed the June 2007 licensure exam have been waiting for this for sooooo long. IF they can't do that, could they at least have posted a SCHEDULE for the release of the OTHER board certificates (I know this is how PROFESSIONALS do it). Unlike me, not everyone is free to go to PRC every week just to see if their Board Certificates were being released already.

I just certainly do hope that they do something about this....


Post Script:
Details on how to get the board certificate to be posted next.

Filipino Life in America

I got this from an email from a very dear friend from college. This was forwarded to her as well. just thought I'd post it here so that more could see it.


HAY BUHAY AMERICA TALAGA
A friend named "Maeng Ni" posted this.Lahat ng sinabi niya nakakatuwa at totoo...



Akala ng mga tao na nasa Pilipinas kapag nasa America ka akala nila madami ka ng pera. Ang totoo, madami kang utang, dahil credit card lahat ang gamit mo sa pagbili mo ng mga gamit mo. Kailangan mo gumamit ng credit card para magka-credit history ka, kase pag hindi ka umutang o wala kang utang, hindi ka pagkakatiwalaan ng mga kano . Pag wala kang credit card, ibig sabihin wala kang kapasidad magbayad.

Akala nila mayaman ka na kase may kotse ka na. Ang totoo, kapag hindi ka bumili ng kotse sa Americamaglalakad ka ng milya-milya sa ilalim ng init ng araw o kaya sa snow. Walang jeepney, tricycle o padyak sa America ..

Akala nila masarap ang buhay dito sa America . Ang totoo, puro ka trabaho kase pag di ka nagtrabaho, wala kang pangbayad ng bills mo sa kotse, credit card, ilaw, tubig, insurance, bahay at iba pa. Hindi ka na pwedeng tumambay sa kapitbahay kase busy din sila maghanap buhay pangbayad ng bills nila.

Akala nila masaya ka kase nagpadala ka ng picture mo sa Disneyland , Seaworld, Six Flags, Universal Studios at ibapang attractions. Ang totoo, kailangan mo ngumiti kase nagbayad ka ng $70+ para makarating ka dun, kailangan mo na naman ang 10 hours na sweldo mong pinangbayad sa ticket.

Akala nila malaki na ang kinikita mo kase dolyar na sweldo mo. Ang totoo, malaki pagpinalit mo ng peso, perodolyar din ang gastos mo sa America . Ibig sabihin ang dolyar mong kinita sa presyong dolyar mo din gagastusin. Ang P15.00 na sardinas sa Pilipinas $1.00 sa America , ang isang pakete ng sigarilyo sa pilipinas P40.00, saAmerica $ 6.50, ang upa mo sa bahay na P10,000 sa Pilipinas, sa America $1,000++.

Akala nila buhay milyonaryo ka na kase ang ganda ng bahay at kotse mo. Ang totoo milyon ang utang mo. Ang bago mong kotse 5 taon mong huhulugan. Angbahay 30 taon mong huhulugan. Ibig sabihin, alipin ka ng bahay at kotse mo.

Madaming naghahangad na makarating sa America . Lalo na mga nurses, mahirap maging normal na manggagawa sa Pilipinas. Madalas pagod ka sa trabaho. Pag dating ng sweldo mo, kulang pa sa pagkain mo. Pero ganun din sa ibang bansa katulad ng America Hindi ibig sabihin dolyar na angsweldo mo, yayaman ka na, kailangan mo ding magbanat ng buto para mabuhay ka sa ibang bansa.

Isang malaking sakripisyo ang pag alis mo sa bansangpinagsilangan at malungkot iwanan ang mga mahal mo sa buhay.Hindi pinupulotang pera dito o pinipitas. Hindi ako naninira ng pangarap, gusto ko lang buksan ang bintana ng katotohanan.
