Emergency!

One week down, eleven to go, and I know this post’s title is familiar to you. If not, then do a search of “Emergency 911” by Prezioso. This week has really been exhausting, but very rewarding. I just finished my first week of hospital training in Davao Regional Hospital, in the Emergency Room for this week and the next.

Being in the emergency room can really tire you the bones, but with a very good cause. It is so much better to have been tired from a duty of attending and helping a number of people than have been tired for doing almost nothing.

Chelsea: I’m That Girl

The year 2008 may really be a lucky year for Filipinos in the entertainment world. There’s the small-girl-big-voice Charice Pempengco, shy yet talented Arnel Pineda, emotional Ramiele Malubay, powerful singer Madonna Decena and that cute, little half-Pinoy Charlie Green boy. And now there’s Chelsea.

So who is Chelsea? Chelsea Emata began recording in an all female music group called SX4. After the group’s break-up shortly after its establishment, Chelsea determined to keep her dream alive and so she started to do her own music. Her self-titled debut album has ten tracks while her sophomore album, “I’m that Girl”, has 13 songs best described as Urban/Pop, with a mix of hot, sultry beats.

Lance Feliciano and his Nissan S14

Lance Feliciano is the only Filipino-American licensed professional Drifting racing champ among 38 licensed U.S. professionals from America. Lance got his professional license last October when he was 19 years old, by which time he was the youngest racer in the world of Drifting to earn professional status and the only Fil-Am challenger out of the 38 professionals.

Drift & RWD sports magazine even named him as “one of the next superstars to watch in 2007” and is becoming an icon in the Drifting domain.

The owl in me

Tomorrow, May 5, commences my hospital training at Davao Regional Hospital, and I must admit I am kind of unprepared. I fear I have lost what little knowledge left of me since my college days, or the skills that I had then. It is more like back to zero.

The training will be for three months, and I really thought it’s all about hospital duty, duty and duty. But no, there are still those case presentations and some requirements. What can I do? I entered this endeavor so I must face all what’s there that’s going to try to knock me off. I guess it is also time I jumpstart my career as a registered nurse, to be responsible, to stand at my own feet (without the clinical instructors anymore!).

A gay’s Nursing lecture

All I could remember then was I woke up because of the consequent singing of my phone (my message alert tone sings!) upon receiving morning greeting text messages. One message was from Mckhoii:
