"Florence Nightingale didn't develop principles from place to place for economic development ..but for services."

♣♣♣ I remember taking down this quote when I was about to pack my things after my history class. We were talking about the Health Care system of Afghanistan where there were a lot of volunteers for the war before. Anyway, I admit I misjudged Osama Bin Laden. Reading through articles where Sir Alad-iw encouraged us to read on, there was no sufficient evidence to prove that the Taliban were the ones who did the Twin Tower attack. Some articles revealed that America was after something. Could it be oil? .. I'd say that the attack was perfectly planned. That the Talibans were framed, specially Osama Bin Laden. Now, I'm encouraging others to read on Osama's background. He came from a very rich family, one of the prominent ones in Saudi until there were twist and turn of events. I'm not saying that Osama didn't contribute to any of the reasons, but he wasn't the main reason for the attack.
♣♣♣ We came back from Mankyan last August 9 and I caught colds. It was really raining hard there and the floor we were sleeping on was cold. The house was quite scary that night because it was raining hard and you could really hear it because the house is made of galvanized iron.
By the way, I'd like to share some of the sceneries I've taken there. :D
(It really looked like heaven.. The temperature was freezing I swear!)
(View from one of the rooms.)
(Most loved shot. It's a closer view. :D)

(Most loved shot. It's a closer view. :D) Although the temperature was freezing, we really had fun going out. The people was so welcoming that they were the ones who warmed the place. We will be going back to Mankayan on September because we finished our first two weeks. The sad thing is, we're the last group to go there so we have to finish the Community Diagnosis and we're the ones who will collate the data. OMG!
(A closer look at D3, my group. We wore our community uniforms at last! Yes, we're all girls. Pinagkaitan kami ng lalake. haha!)

It's just that "Ela-ela" was being a blabber. I recently discovered that she was being hated by a lot of people. Upon knowing this, we decided to keep it low and let the others discover it by themselves. Ahh. This is too personal to be posted. She might be lurking amidst my journals and find this. Eek!
Anyway, Berna treated me to KFC awhile ago. Yehey, free food! Hahah! We had a personal talk. And I'm not mentioning it because it's still related to Ela-ela. We had the same feelings that we were treated like alila's. This isn't friendship anymore, they're being too self-centered already.
♣♣♣ 4 hours NCM awhile ago! It was really tiring! Because of that, I asked our instructor if she was still teaching a nursing concept or was it a medical concept already. She's a doctor! We don't need those kind of information. The other classes were laughing at our hand-outs that cost P20.00(.50 cent per page) that we were reviewing for our quiz a while ago. I envy them because their topics are summarized unlike us. =(
♣♣♣ Well, that's it for now. I'm hoping that I'd meet my best friend tomorrow. God, I so miss him! =)

It's raining again.The rain reminds me of someone because everytime we're together,
it always rains. He emphasized this too when we got stuck in a store one rainy evening.
I remember our first meeting,
I rushed to SM after class and I was damn wet and groggy (improper term haha).
It was cold but when I entered Quantum, the atmosphere was different.
Anyway, I don't know why but it's really fun walking in the rain.
Yes, we're childish or whatever you call it
but it's one spectacular experience haha.
My shift in the Male Surgical Ward ended yesterday (July 31 to Aug 2; 7to3 shift).
I'd say it was always a busy day there. It was also hard for me because my patient was non compliant of the exercises recommended but he eventually gave in after his catheter was removed so he has to walk to the comfort room.
I've learned that communication is one essential tool in dealing with patients who are in pain. It was my first time to handle a male teen who was in pain because of the operation. Males are not fond of expressing their emotions, yes I experienced that with my patient, and my only cues were his nonverbal actions. He didn't speak that much maybe because of shock from what happened to him.
Again, it was my first time to cry in the area. (God, so embarassing!)
Why? Because I felt like a failure when my instructor assigned me to the whole ward when he went on a break and I know I did my part but when I reached my patient, his IV almost ran dry!! For God's sake, I endorsed my patient to Shiera but she didn't report the IV line was almost drained when I got back. It's no use blaming her because of course, my patient is my responsibility no matter what. I just can't stand the fact that Shiera didn't do her part.
We'll be going back to Mankayan on Thursday. I don't feel like leaving town again but I want to enjoy nature's benefits hehe. It's really a province there and I miss La Union. Sigh.
Hmm, so there, got to do my work now. I have to start my FNCP that is due on Thursday, I've got 1 rotational exam and 2 major quizzes tomorrow. So which is which? :(
