Ako'y Psych Nurse:2 years and counting..

Nagtatrabaho ako sa isang Psych Ward. Isa akong Psych Nurse. (HINDI AKO PASYENTE, wagmakulet!).
Ngayong araw na ito, eksakto dalawang taon na ang nakalipas, ay opisyal akong na-hire bilang staff nurse sa ospital. Halu-halo ang kaba, takot, excitement, takot ulit ang naramdaman ko nun. February 1, 2008. Parang sandali pa lang, pero di rin pala biro ang 730 na araw ko sa ward na yun. Samu't-saring eksperyens na ang napagdaanan ko (Ahem, wholesome mode to.) May masaya, may malupit, may malungkot, may nakakagalit, nakakainis, at oo, nakakabaliw.

Pero pramis, walang halong biro, at kacheesyhan at bolahan, lab ko talaga ang trabaho ko. Sa super pagkalab ko sa trabaho ko, ay napaghugutan ko pa ng inspirasyon para gumawa at ipangalan sa blog kong ito:MANIK Makina. (Dahil parang nahawa na ata ako sa "Mania" ng mga pasyente dun, wooot!)

At ilan  sa mga pinaka-paborito kong mga posts ay tungkol sa PSYCH WARD, lalo na ang mga palitan ng mga usapan namin ng mga pasyente. Hindi ko nilagay ang mga ito para pagtawanan at ipahiya ang mga pasyente. Kundi upang ipaalam sa mga taong di pa kilala ang mundong ginagalawan nila (intro dramatic music), at ipaintindi na ang mga katulad nila ay di dapat kutyain at katakutan, bagkus ay mababakas na minsan, parang tayo rin lamang sila. (Oo, aminin mo na, na may kabaliwan ka rin, at di lang yun paminsan-minsan pramis.) Kaya, ang pangunahing kailangan nila ay ang pang-unawa at pagtanggap mula sa ating mga normal, kyut at may tenderlovingcare.hehe.

Kadalasan itinatanong ng mga tao sa kin pag nakwento ko kung saan ako nagtatrabaho ay ito:

"Buti di kayo nahahawa? Di ba nakakahawa yun?"

Ang aking sagot: "Di naman. Sanayan lang, at may iniinum naman kaming gamot at libre check-up namin, kaya di lumalala."

Ang mga reaksyon ay iba-iba at nakakatuwa, may natatawa, may napapaisip, at may tumataas ang kilay at nagugulat. Sasabayan ko pa ng biglang palit ng emosyon mula sa naka-ngiti ay biglang simangot, ayun, tinablan na sila ng lintek na tulad ko.

Isa sa mga paborito kong dialogues sa Psych Ward lately ay si Ms. Ferrari Arlegui (di tunay na pangalan!).

Tayo'y likas na Scientist

reigun: Hi, kamusta ka na mam?

Ferrari: okey lang ako. Nakikita ko si Isaac Newton. Siya yung asawa ni Helen, yung umatake di ba yung Babylonians? Kasi matanda na si Isaac Newton, kaya nagkaroon siya ng dalawang persona, yung isa naging si Manuel Quezon, kasi di ba matanda na siya? Naging siya yun. 

reigun: umm, teka, masyadong magulo na ang iniisip mo, halo-halo na ang mga nabanggit mo...

Ferrari: Hindi. Prinsipe ng mga Engkanto yung mga scientists...

reigun: .........

Yan muna pansamantala mga katoto. Binabati ko ang mga pumasa ng Nov. 2009 Nursing Licensure Exam! Congrats! Mag-enjoy at magsaya. Pero sa lalong madaling panahon, kailangan nang kumayod. Tumindi na naman ang kumpetensiya, kaya goodluck sa lahat mga kabarong RNs!

Men of the Planet Earth,

Tired of the lousy flower+chocolate combo? Candlelight dinner becomes a bore? Well, fret no more, and save your brain cells off that nonsense thinking, for here's a great & delightful gift for the ladies and the big boys at the same time. 


The "GAME SHIRT." 


Once you give this thingamagieng to your lady love,  it's gonna be a sure-fire hit. When she dons this work of art, better get yourself ready to say:" GAME ON", and get ready for that game face all day (night) long. 1 serving per pack.


Live long to infinity and beyond lads.


All the best,

thoughtpic:family computer

R.I.P.

I think it's about time na ma-feature ko ang Family Computer dito. Pramis. Long-delayed na ito. Oo, marami na ang nag-blog at nag-bigay ng testimonials sa experience nila sa Family Computer, pero di ko talaga mapigilan eh.

Reigun, bakit ka naman nag-blog about Family Computer after 48 years?

Well, wala kasi ako magawa, so sumasagot ako ng mga Facebook quizzes about friends ko (chismoso kasi ako.) Eh may tanong "Who would you choose to be stuck with in an Elevator?" Eh di ko alam, kaya bago ako nag-skip, may gusto ako isagot. "Yung bida sa ELEVATOR ACTION." (Ayan, lumalabas na ang tunay kong edad.) Astig kasi yung bidang yun. Pumapatay habang akyat-baba sa elevator. Kung di ka ba naman kabahan sumakay ng elevator kung tunay siya?!

So ayun na, nagsimula na ang umaga ko sa pagka-miss sa Family Computer namin. Yung kapag nag-hang yung laro, tatanggalin yung rectangle na plastic game cartridge, at ito'y hihipan at bubugahan sa pagaakalang may mga alikabok na nananabotahe ng paglalaro mo.

Asan na ba ang FamiCom ko? Ayun, medyo maagang nagretire. Nakita ko na lang one time na pinagpyestahan ng mga daga ang mga wire ng controllers. Mga bwisit yun.

Nakakamiss ang Family Computer games. Syempre andyan ang Mario, Galaga, Super Contra, Elevator Action, Donkey Kong, yung boxing game ni Mike Tyson, yung may nagkakarate, atbp.

Naaalala ko nung nasa kinder pa ako, bawal akong maglaro kapag weekday at may pasok. Dapat ay weekend. Pero paminsa-minsan, ay dedemonyohin ako ng mga kuya ko at ng ate ko nun, tatawagin ako, at magsesenyas sa mga kamay na parang may hawak na controller at parang may pinipindot. Alam na. Game on.

Kahit na lagi akong talo sa mga laro, enjoy pa rin at pwede naman mag-reset kahit na Game Over.

Ngayon ko lang naisip na kahit papano, maski na sa mga laruan nuon, eh talagang sa dami ng pangalan eh "FAMILY COMPUTER" pa talaga ang pangalan nito, na siguro yun ang gustong ipunto ng nakaimbento nito, na ang katuwaan at kasiyahan ay hindi nagmumula sa Computer. Kundi galing mismo sa "Family" na naglalaro nito. Kaya nga hindi solo ang controller nito. Laging may ka-share.

Wala lang, nageemote lang ako sa namayapang FamiCom ko, at nagrarant dahil sa wala naman talaga akong game console ngayon.

At nababahala na sa kaadikan ng mga bata sa PSP, PS3, XBOX, Wii, GameBoy, DOTA at iba pang mga laro ngayon.

bakit ako nag nursing?

bakit ka nag nursing?
magandang tanong yan invisible man.

nag narsing ako dahil nung bata pa lang ako, gusto ko na magdoctor. pero nung sinabi ko ito sa magulang ko, sabi nila:"nagkanda-kuba-kuba na kami sa pagtatrabaho, di ka parin tapos magaral nun."

natakot ako. natakot akong magaral ng matagal.
so, kinuha ko yung medyo malapit sa pagdodoktor, ang nars.

bukod din sa yayaman daw ang mga nars, pinili ko ito kasi gusto ko ang trabahong "human-related" (nope, hindi tulad ng HR dept. sa office.) kumbaga kung ang mga chemist ay chemical, mga accountant ay numero, ang mga engineer/architect ay sa mga building, ang mga pintor ay sa mga pintura, kaya ayun.

feeling ko lang likas sa akin ang may tenderlovingcare.

2010 Presidentiables' Backstage Preparation

Nakakatuwa manood ng mga Presidentiables' forum, debates, interviews, atbp. (Minsan, nakakasawa rin.)
Dito nababase ng mga tao kung sino ang magaling, at kung sino ang "ampaw" o pakitang gilas lang. Kung sino ang scripted, o kung sino ang peke ang dating. Mahirap humusga basta-basta, kaya dapat mas tutukan mabuti para makasiguro.

Pero, ano kaya kung may hidden camera sa backstage bago magsimula ang mga ito, ano kaya mga ginagawa at mga sinasabi nila?

"The 2010 Presidentiables' Backstage Preparation for a Forum."

Gibo: *checks twitter account on phone* "Hmm, may twitter account ako? Kelan pa?"

Noynoy: *texting* "Kris, please not another drama. huhu."

Erap: *to the guests* "Hi fans!"

Manny: *habang nasa C.r.* " ....nakaligo ka na ba sa dagat ng basu...ffuuuu! uber LSS mode na pati ako!!!"

Dick: *sa salamin* "Kaya mo yan Dick, let's go, go big Dick!"

JC: *sa guard* "Magandang umaga po. Ako si JC Delos Reyes, tatakbo po akong presidente. Pramis!"

Jamby: *sa sarili* "May the best man win!"

Karma 2.0

It was a fine day, everything’s good. Until that jerk co-worker pisses you off big-time by "delaying" your work deliberately. No apologies, just a raised eyebrow and an unapologetic smile.

You want to get mad & even. You plan on pissing your co-worker the next time you meet and maybe a profanity or two.

But something holds you back. You think of "karma", and you pulled back, and just let the "karma" forces take its course.

 

Karma is intriguing me all these years, and then I get the chance to check this fictional movie site for believers in karma and reincarnation.

 

What if we messed up our lives, do we get a second chance? What if you’re for reincarnation? Will you remember the way you were in the after-life?

 

There’s one way to find out: check REIN. (and also, try to be good to others too, that’ll help.)

angel locsin + CNN Hero

sa tingin mo sasagutin kaya ni angel locsin si CNN hero?! curious lang.. sa tingin mo lang naman eh-whimpypumpkin

sa tingin ko, parang oo.

tapos, pag sila na, sasama si angel sa pagtuturo sa kids at sa pagtutulak ng mga kariton ni kuya ef.

so, sisikat si kuya ef at magkakaron ng sitcom.

tapos malilink siya sa ibang artista (insert Krista Ranillo's name here).

tapos lilipat siya ng station para sumama kay (insert actress' name other than Krista Ranillo here).

so break na sila.

madedepress si angel, at iiwan na ang pagaartista at magtuturo sa mga street kids.

tapos siya naman ang mananalo ng CNN Hero of the Year 2010.

yun ay sa tingin ko lang naman.

6,200,000,000 Pesos= lots of zeroes

Yes. It's another time for the Manik Makina to put the spotlight on Mr. Sipag at Tiyaga, Mr. "Nakaligo ka na ba sa dagat ng basura?", the Mr. Commercial 2009-2010, the presidentiable Senator Manny Villar.

(And no, Manik Makina didn't get paid for this. Pramis.)

Attention, is again on Mr. Manny Villar. Apparently, the C-5 thing is still haunting him, aside from his staunchest rivals and critics. And no, this is not part of any "black propaganda", or "dirty tactics", for I do not gain anything from this. (Ok, I do derive humor and anger from this topic.)

So, it may be right to assume that the timing of the report is malicious, since he is cutting down the lead on the surveys, closing in on Senator Noynoy Aquino. And Mr. Villar's camp could easily dispel the issue as another "dirty tactic". (I really hate hearing accused people that they were "framed", "falsely accused", "black propaganda", "hate campaign", etc...those are easy alibis and not even an excuse or a decent explanation. Just prove them wrong!)

There was an article from Philippine Daily Inquirer, posted January 17, 2010,stating:

Senator Manny Villar is facing censure at the Senate after he was found guilty for allegedly engaging in improper and unethical conduct in connection with the C5 road extension project, according to a draft report by the Senate committee of the whole.

At the same time, the draft report, a copy of which was furnished to the Philippine Daily Inquire by an official of a political party, asked Villar to return to the public coffers the total amount of P6.22 billion that ``he has or his companies have illegally gained or obtained as a result of unlawful acts and improper and unethical conduct.”

Villar’s involvement in the C5 project in Parañaque and Las Piñas, the report said, ``made the Filipino suffer (a loss) in the total amount of P6.22 billion.’’

**get the whole article here**

So, this mess will take longer than usual to be resolved.

But I was thinking, "6,200,000,000 Pesos has a lot of zeroes."

Yes, I'm more concerned of all that moolaaaah. Dammet.

And since I'm no good in math, I tried to imagine with things/people/stuff you could get with 6.2 Billion Pesos. (with the current rate rounded up to 48 Pesos: $1)

Have Kobe Bryant and LeBron James play together here in a baranggay league team.

LeBron James' salary: $14.41 Million/year

Kobe Bryant's salary: $21.2 Million/year

combined salary in Pesos/year:1709280000

Result: you'll get them to play in the league for 3.5 years, and smash the opponent via grandslam.

Lost&Found Love

Friday morning. My day off. And it was supposed to be a fun day. It's rare for a nurse to get Friday day-offs, as rare as a sparkling vampire. Therefore, it should be a sparkling day.

But to my surprise, I heard from the outside through my room's window: "Nawawala si Sasha."

That's Manang's voice, telling my mother. I checked the time, it was around 7 A.M.

"No, I must be dreaming. Am I?" I played this again and again in my head as I lay on my face, sprawled across the bed. Must be a bad mistake.

As far as I can remember, my puppy Sasha, a 4 month old, mixed-Pitbull girl, was tied on a leash, onto a metal bar that was once a benchpress. And the chances of her escaping/stolen was almost none.

Except for that day.

After a bout of denial, I stood up and got out of the room to have some reality-check.

"Nakawala si Sasha. Naputol yung tali."

My mom was sure. She's known to be very keen on details. I checked and she was right. Sasha bit the leash until it was chewed off enough to have it disconnected.

AAAH!

I face-palmed myself, and guilt and anger was finally kicking-in. Why would I let Sasha stay in the garage?! Yes, she's undergoing "rehab", as I try to "kill" all the ticks and fleas. (That's another story).

So I looked around the house, outside, thinking she's just lying around somewhere. I was 50% positive that she'll come back for she loves to eat. (the other 50%, I couldn't even think of the possibility of her loss, forever.)

Deep inside, I felt restless, yet I tried to be calm. I was half-depressed, half-optimistic. I believed I will find her, again. "She'll come back." I assured myself.

After quickly taking my breakfast, I borrowed my Kuya's Mountain Bike, and I biked around the village (and the nearby villages), searching for any possible routes Sasha might have took. I tried to move slow, and then bike quickly to catch up time, and then slow down if there are signs of dogs nearby the area.

I'm getting pissed. (And depressed again.) I went back to the house, and tried to think calmly.

Earlier that day, I was 50% optimistic, 50% depressed. By 10 AM, chances are getting slimmer. I was about 80% depressed. I'm feeling the arrival of the fact is coming too soon. I must brace myself.

I cancelled my schedule at the gym. I thought I can't concentrate going outside, therefore I must do something to distract myself. So I cleaned my room (No easy task.)

But I also stayed home for there's still hope that I will see her, again.

At around 11 AM, I heard Manang :"Andun si Sasha!"

She was referring to a taxi company compound, about 50 meters away from our house. Manang claimed that she passed by the area, and the men there were talking about a lost dog.

I quickly got out of the room, with all the dirt and grime, and Manang and I went to the taxi compound.

And from afar, I saw a red pick-up truck parked facing away from the entrance. I almost ignored the resting taxi drivers and the working mechanics inside.

And then, I saw a cute blue-eyed dog. (With smudges of oil and dirt on her black fur.)

"Pumasok kaninang 4 AM, di namin alam kung kanino. Pinakain na namin muna."

These guys, the typical drunkards of the village, took care of Sasha, and even fed her while in their custody for around 6 hours.

I held Sasha, and I could sense she's tired and scared. I scooped her up in my arms and carried her all the way back home. I thanked the boys from the compound, and assured them to repay them the soonest time possible.

My heart was relieved and I was ecstatic to see her again.

The kids back home, my nephews and 1 niece, were happy to see Sasha back. My mom was thrilled to have her back. I asked my mother to give something to the guys back at the compound, I specifically asked for a bottle of liquor, alcohol, anything related to it.

And we found an unopened bottle last holiday, a bottle of white wine. We sent it back to them for gratitude and thanks (for taking care of her and not harming her for other purposes.)

I hugged Sasha, gave her food, gave her a bath, and hugged her.

Slowly, despite feeling weak, she was wagging her tail. And while I was caressing her fur, she was clinging to me as if hugging me back and saying:" I missed you."

I'm sorry Sasha for the pains and troubles I caused you.

But I want you to know that I missed you too. And I will never lose you again.

Once upon a time in the mystical place called Facebooklandia, there was a weird phenomenon. One by one, each of my friends, farm neighbors, co-mafia member, all of which are female, are posting deciphered messages to the world:

BLACK.

RED.

SKY BLUE.

YELLOW WITH LACES.

Some were dumb-founded. Some were amazed. And the majority had their dirty minds running. It was "supposed" to be part of the "Breast Cancer Awareness" propaganda, wherein girls must post their bra's color.

Whatever the relation of that to Cancer awareness, is yet to be discovered by historians.

But the boys aren't contended with imagining their friends wearing these colorful loveliness.

WE boys know better, and can't be outsmarted.

Thus, I posted this:

Lo and behold, my guy friends are the wisest of them all: (And the girls were tantalized by our wits)

Dear Manny Villar,

Yan ang iyong bagong tv ad. (or depende kung may bago pang lumabas mamayang primetime). In fairness, catchy ang kanta.

SUPER CATCHY SHET.

Mega LSS na ang mga tao sa kantang iyan. Ako, malimit na lang akong nakakanuod ng tv, lalo na sa mga local na channel dahil marami akong nakikitang mga basura.

Tapos maririnig ko pa: "Nakaligo ka na ba sa dagat ng basura.." Nakakasuka. Di ako nasusuka sa mga batang maralita na kumakanta at nagkukuwento ng buhay nila at mga pangaraw2 na gawain.

Gayundin ang iyong mga "Pangako" o "Plataporma." O siya, sige, gets na namen.

Isa ka sa mga MAHIHIRAP.

Isa kang DUKHA.

Fine!

Edi ikaw na ang panalo! Pero mas tumatalino na ang mga Pilipino ngayon, botante man o hindi, mayaman man o mahirap, naligo man sa dagat ng basura o nagtapon ng basura.

Mayroon nang nakaimbento ng bullshit radar para sa tv.

Be mine Dream Home

One of my guilty pleasures is watching tv shows that feature gorgeous houses (i.e. MTV Cribs) and then wonder how to make that home mine at the end of the day. (Ah, envy!)

I've seen hundreds of home plans with various architectural styles that are really jaw-dropping. Which makes me get excited into getting one for myself someday.

The problem is, where will I get those ideas?

Well, good thing I stumbled upon a website that offers and sells thousands of home plans and project plans. And they've got countless of architectural styles to choose from.

Craving for a bar beside the pool? Lusting for that cute gazebo on your backyard? Or just wanting to set-up a garage to put all your "toys"?

They've got what you need. And with the new look and functionality, planning for a house has never been this easy.

Browse their featured photos and see which design will suit your preference and personality.

Check out The House Plans and More website to start filling your house-checklist, or better yet, let them help you build your dream house, now!

Repost:Avatar The Movie

apenisamightysword.blogspot.com

James Cameron had this on his mind since the 90's. Imagine, it was a time where Spice Girls ruled the world, he has yet to direct Titanic, there was no Facebook, there were no pirated DVD's, no iPods.

Sounds awesome?

Maybe to some. But director James Cameron has a vision.

And his vision's name is "Pandora."

So, what's the buzz about the film? Honestly, I'm not quite sure of the story itself, I haven't followed the development of this project, so basically I've got only a half-baked idea:

Another animated Sci-Fi movie, guys go to another planet lightyears away via sleek space ships, set in the very distant future, where they explore the planet with kickass gadgets, and encounter alien life forms, and then there's war, and then booms and bangs come after the blinding effects and whathaveyou.

So, I guess somehow I was right. And then at the same time, I wasn't. This is NOT another animated film. (Definitely not your regular comic book film, or Pixar films.)

Pandora is a planet almost similar to the planet Earth. Full of lush greens, colorful plants, mystical creatures that some resemble horses, a rhinoceros, winged creatures, and even insects. And of course, the intelligent life form, called the Na'vi People. Almost human-like in form and structure, but way taller than Yao Ming. And with skin bluer than the clear sky (on Earth that is). In terms of technology, the humans are far more superior than the "native" aliens.

+++++++++

Okay, I'm gonna cut this at this point.

1.) I'll try to avoid providing too much spoilers here.

2.) I'll be stating why I blogged about this movie after these few reminders..

3.) I don't want to bore anyone with lengthy lines.

mr. adik uber: para ho pang detox.

reigun: ayoon. tama. detox ng ano nga ba?

mr. adik uber: ng drugs.

reigun: tama. sa kinadami dami mo naman kasing titirahin, eh droga pa.

okey yan. maraming nagiging succesful ang buhay dahil dyan. at balita ko humahaba din ang buhay ng mga gumagamit nyan. kaya alam ko alam mo na ang tama no? o sige balikan na lang kita.

QFTD: What is the best thing being a blogger?

There are tons of reasons why I love being a blogger. But the best thing for me is sharing my thoughts and ideas to people and having them influenced in one way or another. Whether it made them think, smile, laugh, cry, or get mad. Leaving imprints on the minds and hearts of blog readers really matters to me much more than any recognition/compensation there is.

(okay, id have to rethink on the compensation part..)

Ask me anything at your own risk.
