Medical & Dental Mission May 2012

Last Wednesday, May 30, 2012,  the Cavite Mayors League in cooperation with the Cavite Provincial Health team and with the helped of Maragondon RHU, conducted a one day Medical-Dental Mission held at the basketball court in Poblacion Maragondon, Cavite . Together with the helped of experienced dentists and doctors, the program turned to be successful. It gave way to find treatments and dental attentions not only for the sick but also for healthy patients. The said event also gave opportunity to young children to experience lectures and demonstrations on proper way of cleaning their teeth. I performed blood sugar testing for those clients that need to know their blood sugar level. The program indeed is a succesful one, hundreds of participants came in this event. Free medicines were given out of this program. As a member of the team I also got a multivitamins for myself.hehe..And i got it for free...

 Here are some images I've taken while we are doing the medical mission:

Dengue Inspection Before The School Year

Last May 24, 2012 Thursday, my co-workers and I  toured the different schools of Maragondon, Cavite to promote Dengue awareness and prevention. It is annually done before the start of the new school year because cases are arising during this time of the year. Also, rainy season is coming and it is also a contributing factor to the emergence of the disease. Dengue-carrier mosquitoes are more prevalent during this time of the year. So it is necessary to inspect the different areas on a particular school where mosquitoes are commonly breeding. Just like in tires with stagnant water, plants that occupy water and also the drainage system which files-up with stagnant water, can be a common breeding sites for mosquitoes.

Here are some photos I’ve captured in this activity.

NLE Examination Day Preparations

Board exam is fast-approaching and I know that examinees are now getting nervous. But before that, make sure that you prepare all the necessary stuffs to prevent delays. Here are the following necessary stuffs that you need to keep in mind before you go to your testing area:

• Application Stub
• Notice of Admission
• PRC Official Receipt
• Pencils (Mongol No. 2)
• Black ink ballpen
• One long brown envelope
• One long plastic envelope (transparent)
• One Metered-Stamp Window envelope

After preparing the necessary stuffs, you also need to wear the necessary uniform that the PRC required you to wear. Choose one:

Male- school uniform/ white polo shirt (tucked-in)/ clinical uniform

Female- school uniform/white shirt/ clinical uniform

If you prepare all of these, you'll be confident enough to go to your testing area without being cause of delays. 

Good Luck Examinees! Good Luck Future Board Passers! :)

Garnier Skin Naturals (01-Ivory) Review

I just want to have a review of this product, the "Garnier Skin Naturals (01-Ivory)". According to the package, it is a visible whitening face powder that has a long-lasting shine free effect.  It is a non-comedogenic, fragrance-free face powder with Vitamin C that inhibits melanin production and SPF 18 that protects you from harmful rays of the sun. It also provide whitening effect and a 6-hour shine-free look in an ultra-light texture.This product is manufactured in Malaysia.

I am a fan of face powders and color yellow stuffs, reason why I purchased this. I didn't hesitate to buy coz it is only Php100+ and a non-comedogenic product. I have a sensitive skin that is why I am looking for a non-comedogenic product.The first time I tried it, I noticed that it covers the blemishes truly and it also has a long-lasting shine-free effect. I was amazed at first in this product regardless of its smell when you apply it because I don't need to reapply the product because it lasted all day long for me but after two weeks of applying, I noticed a tiny bumps on my face. I stopped applying it and the tiny bumps disappeared. Maybe it clogged my pores or something. I didn't consume all the product because I'm afraid that those tiny bumps will reappear again. 

The rate of this product for me is 3/5

If someone will gonna ask me if I'm gonna buy this again, I will say NO because of what happened.

Note: The effect may vary from the person's skin type. It may not be effective to me but maybe effective to you. :)

May 31 is a WORLD TOBACCO DAY

Tomorrow, May 31 is the said "World Tobacco Day". I know that many of us are not aware of this event but it really does exist. The Department Of Health is now worried of the increasing rate of smokers here in the Philippines because according to them 2 out of 10 people is dying due to lung diseases caused by smoking. They also said that many people starts smoking at the age of 10 and the rate of smokers increases every year. Because of this, they are now pursuing the Sin Tax Bill wherein the tax for vices such as cigarettes and beers are raised at a higher percentage of tax.

Reaction:
I agree to the said bill because as a nurse and a person who doesn't smoke, it will help a lot in keeping the environment clean and promoting good health not only for Filipinos but also Worldwide. I think people should be open-minded for this bill because the government will not pursue this kind of bill just for their own sake but also for the people who are using and not using it. As a nurse and a Filipino citizen, it will be good if the rate of people dying because of this vice will decrease. We should also be conscious for our health and for the people around us especially to those who are not smoking. I know it will be hard for the smokers but they should also keep in mind that "Smoking is bad for their health".
