2011-09-20T15:43:00.000+08:00

Hi guys! It has been a long time since I posted my last blog post. My Nursing board review and part-time job has taken most of my time. Anyway, I want to share my rejected work from my part-time work. The boss says it's not juicy enough to be posted on his site. I don't wanna throw it into the waste bin and I'm gonna post it here instead. :D

Here it goes:

From Three into Six Thousands

2011-06-20T17:34:00.001+08:00

Last night, I was watching the movie Gandhi with Elmer. The film talks about the life of Gandhi and how he worked hard to free the Indian people against British rule. Independence are not served on a silver platter; instead, one must have to shed blood and tears in order to attain it. Gandhi was the one man who made the tiny step towards a big leap for his country. Big changes came from little modest steps that one has ever made, and me and two of my friends has also made our tiny steps towards a change in our country.

Homme Fatale

One time, on you I laid my eyes,

So fast did melt my heart of ice;

And burn within a raging fire,

Fueled by my deep desire.

Science for Dumb People

2011-06-05T02:57:00.000+08:00

Recently, I have been receiving weird text messages about some dangerous radioactive waves from Japan. And just now, one of my friends sent me a text message for some charity work. C’mon, how does sending a million text would help one person anyway. Maybe I’m just overreacting, but it gets into my nerve when I received these type of messages. I appreciate the concern guys, but it would also be wise to validate that information first, before you share it to others. You’re just spreading false information and panic to people.

Bad Side of the Coin: A Truth, or a Faux

2011-06-02T05:52:00.000+08:00

Technology has been a part of human life. Thanks to them our life has been made easier. That’s the good side of the coin. But have you ever wondered what could be on the other side? Or we're just too focused in the good one that we neglected to flip it on the other. We are a living in a world full of opposites. White is the opposite of black; rich, as to poor; tall, as to short; good, as to evil. WHO has made an announcement that flipped that coin and made people open their eyes and see. Made us see that technology may give us something bad in return, or just plainly blurring our visions of it.

The Joy of Doing Nothing

2011-06-01T04:24:00.000+08:00

Technology has been a part of human existence. It has been there to make our lives easier. But don’t you think that we had relied on it too much that it made us too lazy to do things? Local libraries have been replaced by search engines. E-books have come to put back those famous novels in their respective shelves. Kids have been at home instead of going out to enjoy what the earth has to offer. Has one been happily living a life full of complexity in this world?

RH Bill: A Friend or a Foe?

2011-05-30T23:25:00.000+08:00

I was walking my way home when I saw this tarpaulin that struck my attention. I respect their decision of not supporting the bill, but placing a list of SCIENCE FACTS on the RH bill is unacceptable. Did they thought about it first before making that tarp? I respect their ideas, but let me also share to you guys the voice that supports RH bill. Below is the written speech I composed for our finals in speech class. It's not updated, but it gives a glimpse of what RH bill is all about.

Day Off for the Razor

One of my male friends once asked me how I achieved a particular masculine look. I think he was talking about the unshaven beard I had that day because I had forgotten to shave. For most men, masculinity is measured by having big muscles, strong bodies and a good looking beard. Also, some women find men with a beard more attractive.
