NURSES 105

Almost 1 month of being employed, I already met new friends, new companions, new coworkers. I am so lucky being a part of Batch 105 of nurses who made and passed the process to be an employee there in such prestigious hospital. This whole moth, I would say a so-so month for us because we only had trainings and seminars in these days before we enter the real nurse's world out there. We could also say that we learned enough through this seminars and training and we also hope that we can simply apply it in the future. I just also want to share a photo taken from the sketch of one of my batchmates, Tricia, here it goes:

Nice, right? I really like this because of the fact that it is so cute and so touchy... :) I am also looking forward that our batch will still be complete when we will meet again after 6-month-period. I know that we can and we will do our best to give the quality care of our soon-to-be patients out there. 

GOOD LUCK BATCH 105!! We Can Do It!

Little Angel Giean

I love watching our little Giean playing. I really enjoyed playing with him coz I really feel free. Look at him, he is only 2 years old but he is so big for his age. Actually he is a binge-eater like me reason why he is so big like that. His pediatrician requested his mom to control his diet because he is overweight in his age. I also want to discipline him when it comes to food coz I think its easy for me to do that because I am a nurse but every time I see him staring at someone who's eating, I can't help myself but to give him some thing that makes him stare away from that. His mom is so lucky to have him because he is so smart, kind, cuddly and everything. He is our baby. He is my teddy bear. I really enjoyed talking to him because as of his age, he understands what i'm talking which everyone feels surprise about it. But now, he is far away from us and I miss him so much which makes me wish that he's here with us...

July Is The Blood Donor's Month

Have you donated blood? Are you aware that July is a "National Blood Donor's Month"?


According to Manila Bulletin, July has been designated National Blood Donor’s Month pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 1021, dated July 9, 1997, and the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the National Blood Service Act of 1994. The observance aims to build public awareness of the need for quality and safe blood, honor and recognize blood donors, and encourage regular blood donation.

Actually, I just discovered it recently when I saw posters of this on the elevator of the hospital where I am working right now. I am also one of those people who are not yet donating blood. I am not that afraid of needles, I am just not qualified to undergo this kind of procedure because my blood pressure is below normal, but trust me, I am willing to donate blood... :)


Before you donate blood, medical professionals (medical technologists) will check if you are qualified for this. Here are the following guidelines given for you to be consider as an eligible donor:

• you must be healthy, be at least 17 years old or 16 years old if allowed by state law.
• You must weigh at least 110 pounds.
• Not have donated whole blood in the last 8 weeks (56 days) or double red cells in the last 16 weeks (112 days). 
• "Healthy" means that you feel well and can perform normal activities. If you have a chronic condition such as diabetes or high blood pressure, "healthy" also means that you are being treated and the condition is under control.
• There is no upper age limit as long as you are well with no restrictions or limitations to your activities.
• Vital signs (baseline) are all in normal level.

After the donation, the blood extracted from the donor will still be screened by the medical technologists to be determine if the volunteer is infected and may serve to validate the information that was passed by the volunteered donor. 

Blood is vital to bodily function. It helps the body get the oxygen and nutrients it needs in order to survive. Without blood, we will not be able to keep ourselves warm or cool off, fight infections, or get rid of the body’s waste products. It also serves as the main and essential bodily fluids in our life.

TO SAVE LIFE, GIVE BLOOD!! :) 

Yogurt: A Healthy Food Product

Do you enjoy eating yogurt? Do you know its benefits and importance to us, living things.

Yogurt contains active and living cultures which are composed of unique living microorganisms which are responsible for many of the health and nutritional benefits of yogurt. It improves natural defense, it contains a good amount of phosphorus and 88% water. People with a risk of osteoporosis should eat at least one serving of yogurt per day.
It has also been claimed that yogurt may protect against some types of cancer but more investigations have to be carried out. It is also good for the skin and some use yogurt to cosmetics and other skin care.

Food Rating System Chart

According to WHFOODS, Our food ranking system qualified yogurt as a very good source of calcium, phosphorus, riboflavin-vitamin B2 and iodine. Yogurt also emerged from our analysis as a good source of vitamin B12, pantothenic acid-vitamin B5, zinc, potassium, protein and molybdenum. These 10 nutrients alone would make yogurt a health-supportive food. But some of the most interesting health information about yogurt comes from a different context—its potential inclusion of live bacteria.

Well, as for me, I really enjoyed eating it alot. I tried different yogurt products. I started to like it when I first tasted the Nestle Yogurt. It really tastes sour at first but afterwards you will feel comfortable with the tastes it give. There were also times when i got addicted to it, but because it's expensive, I controlled myself when it comes to purchasing it. I also tried the "White Hat", "Tutti Frutti" and "California Berry" which serves the customers a yogurt which is an ice-cream like version. But upon this, i really enjoyed the taste of "California Berry" and "Tutti Frutti". The ice cream yogurt in this has a very addictive taste that you can't stop eating it. That when I have an extra money, I really tried to buy it without even thinking the money I spent in just a small cup of the said yogurt.
Health conscious people tends to buy it, actually I am not one of those "health conscious kudos" but when it comes to food, I am easily pleased.haha. It is not harmful to our health/body, actually it is not only helpful but also you will enjoy the taste it naturally gives to our sensible taste buds..

If I'm gonna rate it, I will definitely give it a 10/10 rating. I also recommend this nutritious and enjoyable food product. Let's starts to eat nutritious foods for us to live longer and fuller life.
