pag may leak, i-vulcaseal!
News: The test leakage in the June 2006 Nursing Board Examination has been traced to Baguio City, ABS-CBN News' Bandila reported Monday. The report by Ces Drilon cited information from a store owner in the city who told her that test papers were photocopied on her machine. "Sabi nung una, punta na kayo sa baba sa review center may good news ako. Sure na sure na 100 percent na ito yung lalabas (I heard one of them telling the others to go down the review center. That person had good news and was 100-percent sure that the photocopied questions would appear during their examination)," store owner Vicky de los Reyes told Drilon. Information gathered by Drilon said that at least 2,000 copies of a questionnaire were photocopied at de los Reyes' store the night before the board exam on June 11 and 12. Some nursing graduates interviewed told Drilon that on the day of the exam, they saw the photocopies of the questionnaire held by reviewers of the Gapuz Review Center. "They said it was a leakage from Gapuz so I asked them if I could read it. Then, one suggested to have the paper photocopied while another man offered his copy," said a student who declined to be named.
sidenotes: only in the philippines to, ang lugar kung saan sari saring balita ang maririnig mo, at kadalasan, baho ng kapwa pinoy. so eto ang latest, leakage in a licensure examination for nursing. ang galing ng timing, kung kelan foreign countries are beginning to trust the skills of our nurses, saka naman nag boom ang news na to. possible cause? personal intention, maybe its the fault of the regulatory board who created the exams, i mean kanino pa ba manggagaling ung source, but from them. or maybe it cud be the students who in search to pass and have the-so-called "better life" here and in abroad, gagawin ang lahat masunod lang ang gusto nila. pwede rin na its the fault of the review centers who wanted to get prestige by claiming na marameng board passers sa centers nila. hay ewan ko sa kanila.
up to now, everyone is pointing their index with one another. im in doubt that this issue will be resolved in the next months. their solution? to hold the oathtaking or remove the items that appeared on the actual leakage. damn, this is just temporary, i mean khit pa bawasan nyo ung mga items na un, the fact that na may nangyaring dayaan is a bit alarming khit pa sa non-related to nursing course like me. in the future, i dont wanna be assisted by nurses who are not competent enough and would say sorry in case mali ng service na binigay saken. on the other side, i pity those who truly went through the entire process of reviewing and examination with all honesty. however the impact of this issue, not only to all the nurses in the philippines, but to the values of every filipinos is already tainted. no matter what we do, we cannot bounce back easily from this unless a major change is gonna take place. mahirap talaga if pati education is nagiging negosyo na rin.
and sometimes hearing stuff like this, i wonder, if i should be really proud to be a filipino....what u think?

Samurai Champloo
sabe nga nila na sadyang mahirap ang petics masyado at pati ang mga bagay na unusual for u, would be an ordinary thing. isa na rito ay ang panonood ko ng Samurai Champloo. it follows the story of fuu, a naïve waitress of a teahouse, mugen, a rebellious and reckless samurai, and jin, a calm and collected ronin, whom strikes with deadly precise quickness.

mugen being reckless as usual charges jin, and the two engage in a short skirmish. they are then captured by the magistrate and are about to be executed when fuu makes a deal with them to help them escape if they help her find the samurai who smells like sunflowers. the adventure begins with that deal. it turned out that the samurai who smells like sunflower is the father of fuu. i like the graphics and of course the punchlines of the characters. hats off mr. watanabe!

starting from scratch
argghhh!! not again, but i guess thats life. right now, ive been dealing with the usual stuff. pakiramdam ko parang akong bagong graduate ng college, tipong may angas pero takot. nagtatapang tapangan sa sarili para naman mamotivate. lots of funny things and even the weird ones happen to me lately. minsan nga tinatanong ko ang sarili ko kung baket ba feeling ko as if first time, i dunno if its good or bad. alam ko ring napapakunot ang noo mo kung ano ba talaga ang pinagsasabe ko. ok sige bibigyan kita ng situation, how would u feel kunwari ure in a relationship at dahil di kayo nagkaintindihan, u guys split up, tapos back to basic ka na naman sa paghahanap ng bago mong prospect, will that make u feel excited, tired or emotionless? o ano sakto ba sa example? hehe.
so thats i am into right now...not the relationship thing, but the concept. well partly sa relationship hehe. but my subject here is about getting back at work. the jitters and processes make me sick. if theres any consolation, i realized to look back on where ive been and what i have become. hope better things will soon to come.
ikaw, ano namang balita na sayo?

multitudes
minsan iniisip ko, what if ang utot or flatulence ay may kulay?! siguro, pag nagkaganun, wala ng taong magdedeny pa na sila ay umutot gayong kitang kita ang ebidensya. wala ka na ring magiging suspect kung biglang bumaho na lang sa sinasakyan mong jeep kung may green na usok ang lalabas mula sa kanya. haha nakakatawa ring isipin kung pati ang utot ay may level ng bagsik, depende kung anong kulay, yellow para sa walang amoy, green para sa may konting amoy at violet para sa mabahong utot. hehe just a thought of it makes me fart, este smile pala.
enough of usapang utot, isa sa mga pinaka nirereklamo kong gawain ay ang pabalik balikin ako, ung tipong di ko matapos agad ang isang bagay because the situation is beyond my control. oo, nagrereklamo ako sa pagpapapirma ng clearance, kundi ba naman, masyadong mahaba ang proseso, ang masaket dun is if pinabalik ka on a particular day, tipong gumising ka ng maaga, wala kang ibang pupuntahan just to settle it, pagdating mo eh parang deadma ung mga paimportanteng pipirma at di nila alam na ung form mo eh nasa kanila. yep i know its shit. i dont have any choice but to comply, minsan naiisip ko tuloy na isang malakeng tama ang nagawa kong desisyon sa paglayas sa lugar na un heheh.
isa rin sa kinaiinis ko ay kapag nagiging issue ang pera while somebody, lets say ur lolo is lying sick on the bed sa hospital. i hate it pag nagkakaroon ng conflict ang magkakapatid on who will shoulder first the hospital bills, tapos paghahatian na lang ng mag kakapatid. syempre may iba, magpapalusot na kesyo walang trabaho, kesyo walang mautangan, kesyo meron namang ibang kapatid na mayaman kaya sila na lang ang magbigay ng malakeng pera. minsan naiisip ko, kung ako siguro ung may saket, mas gugustuhin ko pang mamatay sa bahay na lang para di nag aaway ang mga anak ko sa kung sino ang magbabayad saken sa hospital. i can never blame those who feel na they need to protect their family, lalo na ngayon mahirap ang buhay. but the fact na tatay mo ang naospital, darn its ur responsibility to contribute something. im just not too sure if u are indeed practicing fairness. shame on you.
i saw from an article this place called Cerealicious, ang galing kase ng mga food name nila eh, either a famous character or a movie name. one of which is the harry butter, and in the pic, it even looks luscious. i must see this place.

something to ponder: what lies behind us or what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

heads up
what happen yesterday is a bit tiring for me. whew, glad its over, i guess im not yet fine with really getting back to the "work world" haha as if. ok so right now, nagbusy busyhan ako kaya pinagod ko ng husto ang akeng mga paa para asikasuhin ang clearance, poor feet. kakaiba nga talaga ang pakiramdam pag tipong ure id got no access anymore and u cant even walk down to the floor cuz its already forbidden, hehe weird. parang ung taong nakasalubong ko kanina na baliktad ung paghawak nya ng payong na baston, instead na sa handle, hawak nya ung tip nung umbrella, hehe weird...but on the other side naisip ko rin, eh ano naman if kakaiba syang mag isip, is that a mere disadvantage??? i dont think so.
ok funny experience na lang wewento ko. pasintabi muna sa mga panatiko ng kani-kanilang food chain or restau, i dont intend na manira or what, komento lang naman to. kanina kase before going home, kumalam ang sikmura ko, so i decided having my dinner at chowking, and for the first time i tried the nai-chai. no one told me na masarap to nor hinde, so out of curiosity, i ordered one. medyo weird ung panglasa nya, di naman panget di rin naman sobrang sarap, its like a combination of milk kase and tea, so kaya ganun. siguro nasanay ung panlasa ko sa sopdrinks at juice. here's the pic i took for the nai-charing ay este nai-cha.

nagkataon namang maraming ice so tinanggal ko kase medyo masaket na lalamunan ko, so ang ending? eto ang natira sa total na inumin, hahaha. i put the ice dun sa bowl, and funny is nangalahati ung bowl sa dami ng ice. oh diba kakaibang serving hehe. btw, there shud be more gulaman on it right?? heheh nevermind.
