Toxic-Toxican
It's been quite a while huh.
*I was exempted from taking the finals in all my subjects. Happy happy. God is so good.
*I was chosen as one of the delegates in the previously held 5th National Conference of Nursing Students held at Manila Hotel. The event was sponsored by the Association of Deans of Philippine Colleges of Nursing (ADPCN). The theme was "Pinoy Nurse Education.... Impact on Global Marketability..." My P2,000.00 registration fee was paid for by my very beloved college, UPCN. Aww. Thanks, UPCN. =*
Ate Aila (dear buddy!), Ate Kat, Ate Pebbles, Ate Emy, Ate Ja, Ate Har and Ate Pam were with me. The conference officially started one hour late at around 8:30am with a Thanksgiving Mass. The celebrant was so vibrant, and I was not bored with his homily at all. How I wish all our parish priests are like that.
Then came the speakers. The keynote speaker, Rev. Fr. Rolando dela Rosa, OP (sabi ni Ate Aila, di raw dapat i-omit yung OP ever), surely had the ears and eyes of the crowd. His speech was mainly about nurses as professionals. He showed us who the unprofessional nurses are using photoshopped images to depict his ideas better:
- the Nurse of Tomorrow (the nurse who's always in a hurry, but always late)
- the Enterprising Nurse (the nurse who only wants to earn)
- the ABH Nurse aka the Anywhere-But-Here Nurse (the nurse who's always dissatisfied)
- the Cheerful Robot (the nurse who's so used to routines)
- the workaholic (self-explanatory)
- the newsmonger (the gossip)
- the hoarder (self-explanatory again)
- the addict (you know what this means, don't you?)
The next speaker, Dean Borromeo, explained to us points on how to increase the Pinoy Nurses' marketability.
Mr. Allan Morrel gave education and career opportunities for Pinoy Nurses in Australia. Naisip ko lang na sana wala nang ganito. Ang dating kasi parang nag-aadvertise pa ng pag-alis ng nurses sa Pilipinas. Ang onti na nga lang ng mga natitira rito weh.
Dr. Nemuel Fajutagana's speech was mainly about testwiseness.
During the "Heart to Heart" Forum with Dean Carmelita Divinagracia, the ADPCN President, many questions/sharings were raised by the students. Mabuti sana kung may sense lahat. Good luck nman. Magbibigay ako ng mga blind item, EXCLUSIBO (The Buzz?)!
- Student1: Sana po, next time ay sabihin po sa letter sa school namin na ang outfit ay kailangang semi-formal kasi po galing pa po kaming (insert name of a faraway land here) tapos wala po kaming dalang mga ganong damit. Dito pa po tuloy kami sa Maynila bumili ng mga murang ganito (turo sa dark red na polo).
Comment q: Duh naman. National conference yung pupuntahan mo, hijo. Tsaka diba, sa Manila Hotel yung venue. Baka kasi iniisip mo na glam rock and roll and kailangan mong outfit.
- Student2: Uhmm. Maaaam. (after 110 eons) I really don't know what to talk about because of the many nursing issues nowadays.
Comment q: Bakit ka pa pala tumayo at pumunta sa harap no?
- Student3: You see, many Filipino nurses undergo culture shock when they reach the USA. Is it possible for ADPCN to make a program with which Pinoys could avoid such shock and be prepared better for their being employed abroad?
Comment q: What. A. Damn. Suggestion.
- Student4: Ano po ba dapat mas pagtuunan ng pansin? Yung knowledge base o yung practicals?Comment q: Siguro ikaw.
Ang sakit sa brain (in the figurative sense, of course).
Nga pala, ang weirdo kasi ang nakalagay sa menu sa table namin, we'll have pork tenderloin for lunch. Sabay fish fillet ang ni-serve. Anu kaya yun?
On the brighter side, anyway, nanalo pala q ng PPDr nung conference sa bunutan. Haha. PPDr is Philippine Pharmaceutical Directory. Yey. =p Here are some of the pictures I took.

My dear buddy
Wacky dear buddy
My brand new PPDr
*I met Eljohn yesterday to give him my debut invitation. Nothing has changed with him, really. He was still as tactless and as talkative as he had always been. Okei lang. Mas qt naman siya nowadays. Hehe. =p He was so kind enough to bring me a plastic cup + lid + ice + straw upon my request. Ginamit ko yung mga yun para mainom ko naman nang matino yung nabili koing buko sa L. Guinto cor. Pedro Gil bago pumasok. Salamat, Eljohn. =* Syempre, nagkwento siya ng Masci stuff kaya tawa lang kami nang tawa dun sa CN Batcave. Hehe. =p
Yun lang muna. Sana maupdate ko to nang mas maaga next time. Naman. =p
Postscriptum: "Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there" (Drive by Incubus).. We can get through this..
