Musicals and Me

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return."
~ Toulouse-Lautrec (Moulin Rouge, 2001)

I have always been a self-proclaimed fan of musicals both on film and TV ever since I can remember.

I even partook in a musical play during my final year in elementary in our version of Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil's Miss Saigon, which made our very own Lea Salonga infamous in the Broadway and West End.

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.

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.

Now Trending: Mrs. Cynthia Villar

I was supposed to create a blog post regarding EDSA 27, but I find that a post in relation to the derogatory remarks to the nursing profession of former Las Piñas Representative and now Liberal Party Senatorial Candidate Mrs. Cynthia Villar in the "Pagsubok ng mga Kandidato" aired last February 23 on GMA NewsTV is more timely.

Here is the video.

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!
