This year has really been one hell of a great ride for me! 

And you, yes you, my dear reader (the heck I care if I don't have one!), well apart from my family and friends has been a great part of it! 

Kudos! ^^

Before we finally bid adieu to 2013, join me once again as I try to look back at the year that was: 2-0-1-3

I am A Filipino Registered Nurse

"Why did I take up nursing in the first place?"

This could be one, if not the worst question a duly registered nurse in the Philippines would have to ask himself.

Given another chance, would you still take up nursing? Or would you rather choose another path?

Personally, NURSING has been my first choice back in college (Journalism ranked #2 on my list). I was never forced nor coerced by my parents or whoever Judas that is to take up the course.

I wholeheartedly choose to take up nursing.

LBK-KP on Wheels Invades Bulacan

Greetings from the Local Chief Executives of Bulacan

Calumpit, Bulacan – It was one fine Thursday of March 21 when the Department of Health’s Lakbay Buhay Kalusugan – Kalusugan Pangkalahatan on Wheels visited the municipality of Calumpit in the province of Bulacan.

In line with LBK’s mission of promoting health through a fun, festive and entertaining way, the LBK Bulacan team headed by Provincial Health Officer Dr. Jocelyn Gomez decorated the grounds of Northville 9, Iba O’Este with festive colored banderitas resembling that of the fiesta traditions the Philippines is well-known of.

Nurses and the BPO

"Sabi ko nga sa nanay ko, hindi ako magko-kol center hangga't may nakakain pa ako"

"So, ako, kailangan ko na mag-call center ulit kasi wala na akong makain?"

This has been a laughing stock among our group of friends when the thought of working in the Business Process Outsourcing industry has been brought out in the open.

Well, it's not that I have anything against working for the said industry. I will not deny the fact that this has been my bread and butter for the past one and a half year (July 2010 - January 2012).

I was then a Transition Advocate in one of the most well established and esteemed BPO company in the country. However, I had no choice but to leave the workforce for medical concerns.
