Could you be a record breaker?

Sky 1 are looking for nurses who could break the world record for bed making

(sky 1's Guinness World Records Smashed’ is a brand new studio entertainment show for Sky One's autumn/winter 2008 season. It's going to feature big celebrities, amazing record attempts and remarkable stunts, but most of all it's going to be about you! The key idea is that anyone could be a Guinness World Record holder - and we want to find a whole new generation of stars to come and prove to us what they're made of.
Sky 1 are making 'Guinness World Records Smashed'. The show, hosted by Steve Jones and Konnie Huq, will feature members of the public and celebrities trying to break exciting new world records.)

One of the records they are trying to break is the 'largest amount of beds made by two people in an allotted time'.

**there are friends who stick with you more than a brother does***

an adventure with good-old-time-all-the-time-friends at eden.
( By the way, Eden Nature Park & Resort is a beautiful manmade resort at the foot of Mount Talomo, Toril, Davao City.
It is trly a testament to how man's ingenuity and concern for the environment can create a paradise on earth, making Eden a must-visit ecological tourist destination in the Philippines.
At 3,000 feet above sea level, Eden now serves as home to over 100,000 pine trees, beautiful gardens, orchards, animal sanctuaries and other flora and fauna thriving in their natural environment.)

i thought it was just going to be an ordinary sight seeing, exploring eden day..
but i was dead wrong..
we tried their 4 km mountain trail!
yup, 4 km it is!
with all the creeks, trees, vines, and steep climbs one can ever imagine!!!
armed with sunglasses, a pair of havainas, a packful of foods,
we started the terrain...
and start pa lang, we were already lost!!!
we were heading to the national high way exit..hahaha
what a way to start a mountain trail!!!
nonetheless, we still head out towards the steep slopes and slippery forest floors.
and true to the mountaineer's dictum,

we took nothing but pictures..
pictures and more pictures!
even if it means risking our lives in the boulders, we still took pictures!

we killed nothing but time...
partly because it was getting really late and we were afraid to get caught in the forest when the moon takes over the sky but mainly because we were afraid that the resto will run out of food for us...hahaha..what a motivation!

we left nothing but footprints
literally footprints, because i was walking barefoot!.my havainas didn't have the spikes but it did endure the trek..my oh my, am i proud!!!
which makes it all the more exciting and fulfilling!
(will havainas please give me freebies for the promotion?)

we brought home nothing but memories
(and lots and loads of laughters too!..and may i include muscle pain??.hahah)
ya, muscle pain that we (shoys and i) didn;t have the energy to make it to our own homes.we ended up sleeping at sir hope's pad and eat and read wowowillie yes issue and sleep until 11am and eat again...

hahahha=)

till next time guys!!!
lovulots!

anong kurso mo?BSN Ba?

2009-02-02T19:40:00.001-08:00

anong kurso mo?BSN ba?
paki define nga ng BSN..marami na kasi siyang meaning ngayon eh.
Batchelor in Narseng ba?
ay oo, nga pala...
ang mga gumradweyt sa kursong ito talaga namang napaka "anytime, anywhere"
versatility, ingenuity, enthusiasm ika nga nila..

pwede silang BSK as in BINUHI SA KOREANO - ito yung mga NURSE- KOREAN TEACHER. talaga namang sa pang-araw araw na buhay nila ay kapiling na nila ang mga salitang anyong haseo, kimchi at mogi.

pwede din silang BSC as in BINUHI SA CALL CENTER - Ito yung mga NURSE - CALL CENTER AGENTS. Pamilyar sa kanila ang mga katagang inbound at outbound. Kagaya ng stethoscope, ang kanilang headphone ang kanilang newly found bespren ngayon. Graveyard shifts?sisiw lang yan sa kanila, ahem..sanay yata mag 11/7 ang mga yan.

pero karamihan yata ay BSIT as in BINUHI SA INTERNET - Ito yung mga NURSE - INTERNET TRENDSETTERS. Yun bang mga ginagawa ang lahat ng uso sa net,mapagkikitaan man o gamot sa simpleng pagkabato. Madalas sila yung nka online 24 hours sa ym, friendster o multiply. Sila ang laging numero uno sa friends' updates o di naman kaya sa who's viewed me.

meron din namang BSHT as in BINUHI SA HOSPITAL TRAINING -Ito yung mga NURSE -TRAINEE, ayan seryoso sa pagiging nurse. Nagtatrabaho na sila ngayon sa mga iba't ibang hospitals na madalas ay yung mga malalayo sa kabihasnan dahil ang training dun walang bayad kung hindi ikaw pa ang binabayaran..o di kaya sila ay CI na sa mga eskwelahang tumataggap ng mga di pa lisensyadong nars...ang saya naman ng life nila.

at hindi rin magpapahuli ang BSN - CPE as in CONTINUING PANINGKAMOT EDUCATION - Ito yung mga NURSE - ESTUDENT! Marahil sila ay nag rereview para sa NLEX ah este NCLEX, nag-aaral ng FINN LANGUAGE para madaling makalabas ng Pinas, umaatend sa halos lahat ng seminar na i-offer sa kanya o dili naman kaya ay nag-aaral ng potograpiya, culinary arts, adobo photoshop ah este adobe photoshop.

pero marahil ang pinakamalaking populasyon ng mga nars ngayon ay mga BSN pa rin..syempre naman...
BINUHI SA NANAY!
ano pa!!!
Nay, pamasahe!!!
Nay, baon!!!!
Nay, sanina!!!
Nay, LOAD!!!
Nay, Project!!!
(project gud!!!hui!!graduate nka!!!pagmata!!!)

disclaimer:
Ang tala pong ito ay di ginawa para mang-inis lalo na ang mangonsensya.Ngunit, datapwat, subalit ginawa po ito para i-larawan ang buhay-buhay ng mga nars na grumadweyt at nagkukumahog ng makita ang resulta ng board exam.
Nagpapatunay lamang na ang isang nars na tulad ko, tulad mo (kung BSN ka man) ay napakatalentado!
all around ika nga..yung iba nga, dalawa pa ang major course sa mga nabanggit

bato bato sa langit ang tamaan wag magalit!

comedy bar or review center?

2008-08-06T05:24:00.000-07:00

We are having a normal day at our review class for the nursing licensure examinations. However, the reviewer seem to notice that the class seem to lost touch of the lesson. A boring day is a big NO,No at St.Louis that is why the reviewers think of "innovative" ways to keep us, graduate nurses, awake=)
And this is one of the said ways..
hehehe=)
cool eh!

now...
Is this a comedy bar or review center?
you decide!

The eMO FEVER: joining the bandwagon

2008-07-29T06:59:00.001-07:00

I came across a blog of my friend that posts about certain stuff about emo.
I can't help but get attracted to the post and the next thing I know here I am ranting about these emo stuff. So, I surfed the net and here are some few stuff I found.
History:
Apparently, emo comes from an unknown anagram in the mid 1980's. Some sources say the term emo described a subgenre of hardcore punk which originated in the Washington, D.C. music scene.It has gotten even more popular when the Indie fanatics coined the term. Now, emo is largely associated with hardcore punk.

What's your say with this "emo" thing?

The water cube; China's newest great wall!

2008-07-29T06:40:00.000-07:00

It turns blue!!
it turns green!!
The water cube is indeed a site to behold!
Though not as vast as the China's great wall which can be viewed from the moon, the Water cube is just as promising!with its glowing color, one can help but turn one's head as oe passes by this great modern day architectural wonder.Its edge is the innovative use of energy efficient membranes in a translucent cell structure.

Also known as the National Aquatic Centre, the Water Cube, lit up at night during the opening of the Good Luck Beijing 2008 Swimming China Open in Beijing, China last January 31, 2008.

Beijing Olympics: Bird's Nest now ready to be filled with "eggs"

2008-07-29T06:25:00.001-07:00

The structural elements support each other and converge into a grid formation, just like a bird's nest with interlocking branches and twigs.Beijing indeed gave a new definition in the word, Bird's nest

Designed by Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron, global engineering consultant
ARUP and China Architecture Design and Research Group, the bird's nest is indeed a site to behold.

42,000 tons of steel and hundreds of tons of concrete went into creating the main stadium for the 2008 Summer Olympics.The main body of the stadium is composed of 24 columns of trusses, which surround the bowl-shaped stands in the stadium.

some fast facts about the nest:

Name: Beijing Olympic Stadium
Scheduled inauguration: 2008
Building costs: $500 million
Capacity: 80,000 seats (100,000 during the Olympic games)

Communicating needs not be expensive

2008-07-23T12:28:00.000-07:00

Just recently, my best friend together with her family migrated to Alberta, Canada. I felt so sad of the idea of us being oceans apart since I know the cost of long distance phone calls cost a lot these days. I assured myself I need not to worry since short messaging service is available but later on I discovered that most of the time it usually takes ages for me to receive and send messages. It really pisses me off. I browsed on the world wide web and looked for practical and reasonable sites which can help me in my communication problems because I really need to get through this friend of mine most of the time since most of her business transactions are left for me to handle. Thank goodness, I came across Tabrio. Com
This site is totally amazing!I bet that what they said in their ads are all true and these guys really heeded the plea of most of us, of how we wanted a better way to connect with the people we care about.

Tabrio is not just about cheap long distance and two-way global text messaging. Today, Tabrio is a complete communications platform plus they've got both desktop and web applications, and with a mobile web version!

an apple a day, keeps the hope up at bay

2008-07-23T11:55:00.000-07:00

"Hope is good for breakfast, but not necessarily for supper."

When we dream, we start with a vision. We look at an image, a successful image that is, of our lives transforming into a real yet fairytale like one.
Say for a runner, a runner might envision himself winning that ever coveted race.He d dreams, usually at the start of training for the race. He will keep this vision of himself first at the finish line when he is waking up early for his daily running exercises or maybe when he is disciplining himself to eat that right kind of diet to sustain his training. He is keeping his hopes up, as he massages tired ankles and weary knees, still refusing to give up on that vision of him winning the race. On the day of the race, there is no need for hope.What he needs is action!Action to master all the strength that he has and to to trust his race on the hope he has been keeping for so long. Thus, to communicate the vision is to live the vision especially on that one fateful racing day.
Hope is good for you to run the race, but Action is more important in winning it.
Yes, hope is good for breakfast but it ain't necessary for supper!What one needs for supper, is activity!

You might be wondering where this boggling yet inspiring quote came from.
Mort Zuckerman the keynote speaker at the Big Apple Awards quoted this. He has his own interpretation of this quotattion though so why don't you see it for yourself!Indulge and Take a look at this video!

it pays to be nosey

2008-07-23T11:12:00.000-07:00

do you agree with me?
it really pays to be nosey...
i will tell you why, if you care to read my story.
one time I came across a friend of mine whom I have been desperately wanting to rub elbows with. I browsed over several websites but I still haven't got any traces of her. But when a write-up suggested about nosey-people.com, I just said, well, I haven't got anything to lose for being nosey. This is a website where people could have "small reunions" by just simply typing a relative or friends name. They can eve do background search for you!
wow!this site is really amazing!
They can even show you a list of people who might be looking for you!
cool, isnt it?
so whether it is your grade school friend who always bully you at the swing, your cheater boyfriend you have not get even with, or your dear professor who have taught you everything from a-z, nosey-people knows where exactly to find them.
what are you waiting for?hit that keys and start entering names only at nosey-people.com

it really pays to be nosey!

team building

2008-07-03T04:48:00.000-07:00

Last June 10, 2007, the officers met at Forest Hill, grabbing the opportunity of wahtever is left of their summer break.
There were four team building activities prepared. The first was called the Shuffle. The officers were asked to form a single line side by side at random, standing on a long piece of wood. The instruction was to authorize only one person to speak while the others were to keep silent. Then they had to rearrange themselves according to their age, with the oldest at the right end down to the youngest at the left end. This was to be done without talking and without stepping on the ground but maintaining to trade places while standing on the very long piece of wood. One facilitator was then asked to make sure that the rules were strictly implemented. The activity aimed to impact the officers on the importance of communication, coordination, subordination and following instructions. After which, a short debriefing session followed where each person was given the chance to share his feelings while the activity was going on, what values he learned in the course of such and how these could be applied in the organization.

As the officers planned the activities for the entire school year, the value of cohesion and camaraderie was realized. As such, before proceeding to plan the next activity to cater to the students’ needs, it was decided that a team building activity purposed to foster a good working relationship and unity among the officers was made.
The next activity was called Focus. Each officer was given a designated spot in the gym. There were 30 wet sponges that were to be transported from one end of the gym to the other. The person who held the sponges had to toss them one by one to the next person who was at least two spaces away from him. Each sponge had to pass through each person until the last person at the end of the gym gathered them together in a bucket. The goal was to transport all the sponges without letting them hit the ground. The tossing and catching from one person to the other had to be simultaneously. They were asked to formulate a plan for 10 minutes and then were given two chances to implement the plan. As the name of the activity states, focus was the primary skill to be developed. One had to keep his eyes on the sponge he was tossing and then throwing, leaving the others to do the same with their own sponge. Planning also played an important role in the implementation of the game. The debriefing session then followed.
The third activity was called Group Carry wherein one person was to lie flat on the floor while the rest carried him up until all the carriers’ hands were stretched upward. They were to turn 360 degrees then slowly lower the person carried back to his feet. All the officers were to be given a chance to be carried. The activity aimed to foster teamwork as one officer could not be carried by one person alone. There had to be a strategy in positioning the carriers on the heavier parts of the body as well as on how the carrying and turning would be done, too. Debriefing then followed.
The last activity was called the Trust Fall. One person is supposed to stand on a n elevated platform that is shoulder-high while the rest of the group would stand on the floor forming two lines with their arms linked with the arms of the person in front of them. With these linked arms serving as a “human net”, the person on the platform is supposed to drop like a log onto this “net”. Each person must have the opportunity to fall and to catch as well. This activity fosters the value of trust and trustworthiness. Trust for the person who is supposed to fall, because he would be laying his life at the mercy of his catchers. Trustworthiness, too, because as a catcher, one should not leave his post no matter how heavy the load may be, is this could be detrimental to the one who is falling.

We all had a blast!the activity was tiring yet very fulfilling. Indeed, it strengthened our unity as a team.I can truly say, we are geared for the entire school year.Way to go guys!
