Once we had Clinton, Johnny Cash and Bob Hope. Now we have Bush, no Cash and no Hope.

The best contraceptive for old people is nudity. Have you been to Wal-Mart lately?

You have to be 300 pounds to get the automatic doors to open.

Why do you press harder on the buttons when the battery in the remote control is dead?

I’ve been on so many blind dates, I should get a free dog.I wondered why the Frisbee was getting bigger, and then it hit me.

Those that forget the pasta are doomed to reheat it. Take everything in moderation. Including moderation.

busy bee Abril 24, 2007

i have been moving this past weekend and been working in between…in short…to busy to write anything lately. but i will try to do write something interesting in the next few days since i missed so many days!!!

anyway, emergency room always has a fascinating events that continously occur everyday…

toothache Abril 18, 2007

emergency room is for emergency medical problems not for a simple toothache. but some people take for granted what the emergency services are for. especially for people who does not have any insurance.

 i am not saying that if you do not have insurance that you do not have the right for an emergency medical treatment. if you have a real medical emergency, i suggest that you go to your nearest emergency department immediately, with or without an insurance. but please, do not go to the emergency room if you have a toothache that does not have any symptoms of infection. get to your local health department for a free consultation on where to get a free dental service or the most affordable one. most counties have these services. do not waste your time and the time of the medical staff in emergency room for a simple toothache because of a dental cavity.

if you are running a fever, have pus like secretions, or serious swelling in your gums then by all means come to the emergency department, but otherwise, go to your dentist!

and do not cuss the doctor that was trying to treat your simple toothache in the ED. you will get thrown out by security and be blacklisted on your local emergency department!

i just dont understnad why people do this!!!

Tragedy at VA Tech Abril 17, 2007

I cant believe this has happened! i woke up yesterdya afternoon tryign to see whats happening in new england and i watched several stations unfold the virginia tech shootings…i grieve for those who lost their friends and family in this tragedy…i hope the soul of the gunman finds its peace and may we find the reason for this massacre so as to be a lesson for all of us…

Shooter named as campus grievesPolice have identified the gunman who killed 32 people at Virginia Tech before turning the gun on himself as 23-year-old South Korean student Cho Seung-Hui. The campus is still reeling from Monday’s rampage, the deadliest school shooting incident in U.S. history. School President Charles Steger called the killings “a tragedy of monumental proportions.”…
 

FULL STORY AT CNN.COM

i could not fathom how everybody feels about this incident. i wanted to know what the reason is behind this shootings..what could have cho seung-hui experienced to push him into doing this? could he have been matreated as a child? who are his parents? did he have any friends? was he a good student? did anybody considered him as a friend? was he maltreated by society itself? does he have a ny domestic problems? financial problems?

 too many questions and yet no answers on to why…it will take time i know but i hope whatever he has gone through should be a lesson to all of us so we dont produce a shooter like this loner guy in virginia tech university…

Bessy Abril 17, 2007

It’s my bessy’s birthday today. I just want to wish him a Happy Birthday and a million more years to come. I also wanted to let everybody know how much he made my life easier just by being there to listen.. and helping me with blogging, getting me a laptop when i really needed it the most, lending me a shoulder to cry on whenever i have a heartache, setting up and organizing my gmail, helping my mom fix her computer even though i am seven hundred miles away, discussing my very shallow knowledge of philosophy, by helping me question the abstracts of life and by realizing my potentials…

There are a lot more things that he has done for me that i have not mentioned but am very thankful for…but most of all, i just wanted to thank him for being a very good friend that he is…

 

i will never ever forget that day that he wrote me a note that he considered me one of his best friends. It was a priviledge to be one of them. I will never ever forget him and he will always be in my heart and in my thoughts. I am honored that he chose me to be his “bessy”, i will treasure that till the end of time…

 

I just wish he’ll found the happiness and contentment that he wants, nothing less than he deserves…

 

He is one of a kind, generous, forgiving, patient, loyal, intelligent and a great friend, brother, cousin, nephew, etc to all those people he touched with his mind and heart. He has a heart of gold, a soul of truth and a mind of a true philosopher…

 

To CHICO…May you have a great birthday today and may you have many more years to come. please do not get tired of reading whatever you read everyday, it always makes you sound so smart…he he he! Do not stop blogging because you make a difference in this world with your words of wisdom. Please do not get tired of my nonsense dialogues with you especially if the topic is mike and my son. I thank you for being there for me all this time. I promise to be here for you whenever you need me. I really dont know what i would have done on those times that i came to you so i could cry nonstop because of a love that is lost and all the other things that cannot be described by words. Youre truly a special friend…I missed you so much (since we are several states apart) and do not forget that i love you!!! Take care always…

ang litrato Abril 16, 2007

binuksan ko ang aming mailbox bago ako pumasok sa kotse. papunta na kasi ako sa trabaho. matagal kong hinintay ang pagdating ng sulat na galing sa pilipinas. si che-che ang sumulat sa card pero ang mga litrato ang una kong kinulimbat mula sa sobre.

dalawang litrato ang nakita ko. ang unang litrato ay si che-che sa kanyang wedding gown, ang kanyang anak, at ang aking anak na si gabriel. “nakakatuwa naman!” sa isip-isip ko. naisip ko rin na napakasaya naman nilang tignan. araw kasi ng kasal ni che-che. nakangiti pa akong sinilip ang pangalawang litrato pero hindi ko inaasahan ang emosyong pumalaot sa kaloob-looban ng aking puso at pagkatao.

ang pangalawang litrato ay ang wedding picture nina che-che at nino kasama ng kanilang mga magulang at mga anak. si nino ay ang ama ng aking anak. alam ko naman ang kanilang pagpapakasal. hindi ba’t ako pa nga ang nangungulit sa kanila na magpatali na sa isa’t isa para matahimik na rin at maiayos ang kanilang mga anak?

tinignan kong mabuti ang litrato. natuon ang aking pansin sa groom na nakasuot ng barong tagalog. matikas ang kanyang pagkakatindig at napakasimple ng kanyang pagkakangiti. naramdaman ko na parang may kumurot sa aking puso. tumingin ako sa bintana ng aking kotse upang ipasantabi ang inaakala kong pagkakamali ng aking nararamdaman. muli kong sinulyapan ang litrato at muli akong dinala ng aking mga mata sa kanyang mukha. ang mukha ng aking unang pag-ibig. biglang bumuhos sa aking alaala ang aking nakaraan. ang aking nakaraan na umikot sa kanya. naalala ko ang pitong taon naming pagsasama. ang mga masasayang sandali, ang mga pagpapasakit, ang mga paghihirap at ang aming pag-iibigan na una niyang tinalikuran.

exhaustion Abril 14, 2007

i just came home from work…

discharged 2 homeless drunk before i left…

 i am now ready to go to bed…

i am exhausted…

 genital herpes looks like a bunch of small ulcerated skin…

painful too as i can tell by the look of the patients…

gross… that is what i have to dream of during my sleep…

try not to get any kidney stones (if at all possible, really)…

it really, REALLY hurts…at least the patient got a total of 16 mg of morphine iv…

sweet…i’ll be dead if i have that much morphine in my system…

swollen feet, chest pain, painful hand, drug seker, suicidal…

cardiac arrest…

they were all my patient last night…

 ok..off to bed…my name is written on it already…. 

monotonous Abril 13, 2007

Napaka-monotonous naman ng daily routine ko, lalo na pag may pasok sa trabaho. kain, tulog, gising, nood ng abs-cbn soaps, check ng e-mail, bayad ng sangkatambak na bayarin, at pumasok sa trabaho.

 At least hindi monotonous ang trabaho ko sa ER. Second day ko pa lang ng orientation pero binigyan na kaagad ako ng sarili kong assigned room. Juice ko day, buti na lang sanay ako sa mga chest pain emergencies sa cardiac observation unit dahil kung hindi, nanigas na ako sa kaiisip kung ginagawa ko bang mabuti ang trabaho ko. On the other side, at least they trust my judgement and my skills. okay na rin siguro yun.  

Siguro pag nakalipat na kami ng bahay ni Mike (maybe thsi Sunday), medyo magkakaroon ako ng ibang routine. Tagal naman, excited na ako…

Oops, kailangan ko nang bumalik sa higaan. Hindi na siguro ako makakatulog pero at least, maipapahinga ko ang aking katawan bago sumabak sa isa na namang kagila-gilalas na kabanata ng aking buhay sa emergency room! 

Filipina Beauty & Brains Abril 13, 2007

 Our Miss Universe bet this year may have a good chance of getting our country the honor of having the third Ms. Universe title claimed by a Filipina beauty. She does not only have the exotic beauty that most woman want but also has the brains of a summa cum laude graduate of the prestigious University of the Philippines!

This is an excerpt from a Philippine newspaper, Manila Standard.

From UP summa to Miss Universe bet

By Giovanni Paolo J. Yazon
THE University of the Philippines has re-affirmed itself as the “superior source of national beauties” for the 11th time!

A 22-year-old broadcast communication summa cum laude graduate and sophomore law student from Diliman campus named Anna Theresa Luy Licaros won the top plum in the Binibining Pilipinas beauty pageant staged at the Big Dome last month.

Standing at 5-feet-9 with a voluptuous 33”-25”-34” figure, this Batangueña will be our bet in the Miss Universe pageant to be staged at the National Auditorium in Mexico City, Mexico, on May 29.

“Tere,” her nickname, now joins the list of past “UP beauties in Miss Universe,” namely: Maria del Carmen “Chuchay” dos Remedios Tuason (1958), Vida Valentina Fernandez Doria (Miss Photogenic in 1971), Lizbeth Samson de Padua (1976), Criselda Geronima “Dang” Flores Cecilio (1979), Maria Isabel Pagunsan Lopez (Top 20 Best in Swimsuit in 1982), Joyce Ann Fellosas Burton (1985), Sara Jane Davis Paez (1989), Nina Ricci Caldo Alagao (2000), Zorayda Ruth Blanco Andam (Best in National Costume 1st runner-up in 2001) and Lia Andrea Aquino Ramos (Miss Photogenic in 2006)…

tula/poem Abril 12, 2007

wow nakakagawa rin pala ako gn tula…walang katuturan pero at least mukhang tula…i found this on one of my august 2003 entry…wala lang…masyado yata akong depressed during those times…

its one in the afternoon.
trying to clean up my messy room.
i look at the frames that surrounds me
and books that marvels me.
in front of the computer i sat all day.
thinking of what to do or what to say.
hard to imagine how life gets going.
without anybody to keep me laughing.
my room is an empty place
and so is my heart with an empty space
