A Look Back in 2014

Howdy, Randomers?

It has been indeed quite a while when I last posted random nothings here. And I bet you might be wondering where the heck have I been (read, pretty please).

So, just like last year, when I started this blog, I made a post looking back on 2013 that was. If you have been to the moon and would like to know more about it, you may check this one.

Now, before that clock hits midnight and the year changes, here's a monthly run-down of highlights that made this year worthwhile.

[PRESS RELEASE] Health Bloggers in for an Awesome Treat with Zoomanity Group

In this time and age of social media hype, it is truly no wonder that health professionals and advocates alike be tech savvies. If you've read my previous blog post regarding the recently concluded #iBlog10: The 10th Philippine Blogging Summit, you would remember the infamous Dr. Bien Nillos (@DocBIENevolent) who gave five reasons as to why doctors and health professionals should blog.

10 Quotables in the #iBlog10 (and Other Random Stuff)

We joined hundreds of bloggers from different niches and walks of life in a two-day free event held at the Malcolm Hall, UP College of Law, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City. Now on its 10th year, iBlog focused on "A Decade of Blogging and Moving Forward"

[HOW TO] Be Stress Free through TRE

Loboc Church, Bohol.
This is just one of the centuries-old church destroyed during the M7.2 earthquake.

Have you ever met an accident? Have you lost a relative or a family member? Have you ever witnessed or have been a victim of any crime? Where were you during the magnitude 7.2 Bohol earthquake? How about when Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) devastated Eastern Visayas? Or during the crisis in Zamboanga?

If you answered YES to the first three questions, how did you feel? Were you traumatized by the experience? Imagine if you were in the above-mentioned places during the times that the earthquake, typhoon and the crisis struck the area. How would you feel?

From Flappy Bird to Life: Five Lessons in Life

Ever heard of Flappy Bird? If not, check out the infographic from Startapp.com about the so-called rise and fall of the viral mobile application that topped the iOS’s Apple Store and Android’s Play Store in more than 100 countries in a span of months.

Flappy Bird is a mobile game application released in 2013 by Vietnamese Dong Nguyen. The main objective of the game is to get a flapping bird across either high-mid-or-low-opened pipes that are very much akin to those seen in the Mario Bros series. The bird moves upward when the player taps on the screen and scores are based on the number of pipes passed through successfully.

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

DO NOT Read: I am Not a Relationship Guru

It's not the love month, I know.

Nonetheless, as they say, when you're in love, every waking moment with the one you love makes you feel the magic of it no matter what month of the year it may be - all year round -  so to speak.

Hmmm. Now that makes you think I'm in love, huh?

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.

Looking on the Brighter Side of Bad Publicity

Yeah! I know I still owe you a post regarding EDSA, but that'll come in this site sometime...  ^^

For now, here's what I got.

It has been more than over two weeks now since the whole of the Filipino people witnessed former Congresswoman Cynthia Villar, a senatorial candidate of the Liberal Party in a Senatorial Forum entitled Pagsubok ng mga Kandidato on GMANewsTV.

I need not mention about the issue and what she have responded to the questions posed by Mareng Winnie Monsod as I have a post regarding that one. You may want to click on this link just in case if you've been on the moon, and haven't read it.

Blogging. Why Only Now?

How do I start?

Blogging nowadays has been a form of expression, a way of life so to speak.


Almost everyone I know in the cyberspace have their own blogs. Here are just some of those I personally know and follow:

1. The Nightingale Chronicles
2. Nurse Tambayers - The Blogspot of RN Kapuyaters
3. The Irony of Non Sense
4. RaNts of a Queer Guy

And the list goes on and on.

Honestly speaking, I wanted to start 2013 with a blog.

It was way back December 2012 when I started out conceptualizing this blog.
Matter of fact, this blog post was on the "Drafts" since then. 

It's not that I don't have the luxury of time to maintain and or manage a blog, but there are just certain reasons why I failed to do so for the past couple of months. (Whatever. Just testing my reasoning skills.)

“Time is a created thing. To say 'I don't have time,' is like saying, 'I don't want to.”  ~ Lao Tzu

There you go, I decided to put up this blog and name it "The Randomness of Nothing" for I will be posting anything random here - from news and updates regarding the RN profession to blabbers and anything in between. 


So, feel free to leave a comment and don't forget to hit that subscribe/follow button whatever!
