10th Q&A Monday

It's already the 10th Edition of Q&A Monday!
Thanks for continuously asking great questions and I hope my humor and practical answers will satisfy them.


What's your favorite app on your mobile phone?
asked by Formspring
My favorite app in my phone is the colorful and sweet Fruit Slice. I used to have Angry Birds in my phone, and it should have been my favorite now, but I deleted it because it takes a huge portion of my memory.
Hope I'll find time to download Angry Birds and play it again. Both of these games are highly interactive and very addictive.


party? or bed time?
asked by 3OH3
A very easy question.I would prefer party! haha.. But this is highly relative to my mood. If I'm not in the mood like when I am depressed or just simply tired, then, certainly, I would just stay at home, take a rest and sleep all night.
If it happens that I am really in the right mood and I am happy, Partying is the best! Let's go party people! :D


what was your dream job when you were a kid?
asked by AskCamryn
When I was a kid, I dreamed of being an astronaut. When I was in elementary, I wanted to be a doctor and when I entered college, I took up and finished Nursing.
That's a real dream-come-true story huh? :D 
And I can tell myself that dreams really do come true! hahaha.. :D


What is the main feature of a website that you like the best?
asked by houstonassassin 
The best feature that a website can offer is if it provides ways on how the audience, readers or visitors could interact and comment on its contents. Second to this is the degree of innovation or uniqueness of the website.
All of our voices should be heard. This could make or break a website depending on how comments are moderated and how will the comments be accepted by the Web ADministrator..


No school wooo hooo! what do you do to celebrate Labor Day?!?!?!
asked by FredFigglehorn
I am certainly not celebrating the Labor Day. Here in the Philippines, many workers are conducting rally and protests in the streets to call for increase in the minimum wage at this day.
But, as for me, I'll just stay at home and take a good rest. It's a holiday after all.  ;)


How do you say squirrel in other languages????
asked by FredFigglehorn
LOL! very funny question! I can't think of a direct translation of squirrel in our very own Filipino Language but we might as well directly borrow it and change its spelling to: SKWIREL.
Is it that different? NO! haha.. :D


How are you right now?
asked by tamaguilar
I am perfectly fine, a little bit sleepy now, but I can take it. I mean, your questions are all great and I am having a good time answering these questions.
Hope you'll continue asking more thought-provoking questions! And I also pray that you may always be blessed by God with good health and happy life. :)


If you could go on a road trip with any person, dead or alive, who would it be and where would you go?
asked by lhives
Of course, If I could go on a road trip, I will go with my girlfriend. And, if it is possible, I may also think of bringing with me my family and some of my jolly friends.
In that way, this road trip will be 100% fun and enjoyable! I would want to go to Pagudpud or any beach with white sand will do like in Bolinao or Zambales.


do you believe in miracles?in wat way?
asked by kathyish
I certainly believe in miracles. Sometimes, we really don't understand things that are happening in our surroundings and even the experiences that we have in life with our own thinking and these things may be miracles and there's simply no reason behind them. They're purely magnificently magical and mystical and what we should do is just to admire them.


Ask me anything :DD
asked by anonymous
haha.. This is a very hard question to answer! haha..
Hmm.. My questions would be, "What is your name?" and "What is the real question that you want to ask?"
I think this is just an alibi question.. haha.. :D


You think you have more interesting question?
Ask them now and I may answer it in the 11th Edition of Q&A Monday!

NLE July 2011 Update # 8 "Attire and Regional Oath-taking"

I have read and received some updates this day regarding the famous issue on scrapping the Mass Oath-taking for the July 2011 NLE Passers. BoN Member, Hon. Marco Antonio Sto. Tomas stated the Attire for the Oath-taking in his Official Facebook Fan Page, Jaymee Gamil of Philippine Daily Inquirer wrote about the New Regional Oath-taking rites and an Editorial from Pilipino Star Ngayon says that the Mass Oath-taking is indeed as waste of our government's (our) money:

OATH-TAKING AT REGIONAL OFFICE of THE PRC IN BAGUIO CITY FOR REGION 1 AND CAR

The Regional Office holds oath-taking for professionals who have not attended Mass Oath-taking, every THURSDAY at 11:00 am and 2:00 pm. Oath-taking is required for initial registration.


No oath-taking fees. Please come in semi-formal attire. Health and allied professionals must come in gala attire. Confirm attendance with Regulations Division (Window 11) or call (074) 304-3028

PRC releases guide on new oath-taking rites
by Jaymee T. Gamil, Philippine Daily Inquirer 3:30 pm | Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

MANILA, Philippines—The Professional Regulation Commission has come out with guidelines on its newly austere oath-taking rites for nurses.


In a statement released on Wednesday, the PRC said group oath-taking ceremonies may be hosted by the respective schools of the board passers, in coordination with the respective chapters of their accredited professional organizations, for as long as they get clearance from the Board of Nursing and the PRC.


Regional PRC offices may also hold the rites, also in coordination with regional chapter of the APOs, with consultation with the BON and the PRC main office.


New nurses may also have their oath-taking individually before the BON, PRC officials and “any other official authorized to administer oath pursuant to section 16 of the Philippine Nursing Law.”


These guidelines for the oath-taking rites of the July 2011 Nursing Licensure Exam passers may become a precedent for those of other professions. The PRC released the guidelines “pending issuance of a more definitive and detailed guideline that will apply not only to nurses but to all board passers in other professions covered by the licensure examinations administered by the appropriate Professional Regulatory Boards and the PRC.”


Oath-taking rites for nurses used to be held en masse. The mass oath-taking for the July 2011 nursing board passers, supposedly to be held next month, has been cancelled.

Editoryal - Magarbong oath-taking 
(Pilipino Star Ngayon) Updated August 30, 2011 12:00 AM

MABUTI naman at naisip ng Philippine Regulation Commission (PRC) na alisin na ang magarbong mass oath-taking ng mga nakapasa sa nursing board examination ngayong taon na ito. Ayon sa Department of Labor and Employment, wala nang mass oath taking para sa mga bagong nurses. Ito ay bilang pagsunod sa kampanya ng gobyerno na magtipid. Ayon kay Labor secretary Rosalinda Baldoz, nag-isyu na ng withdrawal ang Board of Nursing (BON) para sa mga hinihinging congratulatory and inspirational messages mula sa top government officials na ilalathala sa souvenir program. Ayon pa kay Baldoz, malaking pera ang matitipid ng gobyerno sa hindi pagdaraos ng mass oath-taking.


Nararapat lang na huwag nang magkaroon ng magarbong mass oath-taking. Gawin na lamang ito nang simple para makatipid hindi lamang ang gobyerno kundi pati na rin ang mga magulang. Dahil naging tradisyon na ang mass oath-taking, puwersadong dumalo ang mga nakapasa kaya panibagong gastos na naman ang haharapin nila. Siyempre maraming babayaran gaya ng souvenir program, venue ng oath-taking at kung anu-ano pa. At hindi naman lahat ng mga magulang ng nakapasang nurses ay maykaya sa buhay.


Karamihan sa mga magulang ay iginapang lamang ang kanilang anak para makatapos ang kanilang anak. Marami sa kanila ang “kumapit sa patalim” para lamang maigapang ang kanilang anak. Nangutang at nagbenta ng ari-arian para makatapos ang anak sa kabila na walang katiyakan kung makakakuha agad ng trabaho ang anak. Mahirap makapasok sa ospital ang mga bagong nurses. Meron pa nga na kasama sa mga nag-top sa exam at nagtapos sa mga kilalang nursing school pero mahirap pa ring makapasok sa trabaho.


Dapat lang at sana ay noon pa nasimulan na itigil ang mass oath-taking ng nurses. Gastos lamang ito gayung maaari namang hindi gawin ng grupo lang o kaya ay indibidwal. Sinimulan na rin lang ng PRC, sana ay ipatupad na rin ng iba pang ahensiya. Pagtitipid ang kailangan sa panahong ito. Kalimutan ang pagbubulagsak na maaaring ikabagsak.

Ang saya ng pakiramdam na nakapasa!
Hinding-hindi ko makakalimutan ang araw na to!
Mga 6PM ay sinubukan kong buksan ang PRC Website at nang makita ako ay tamang-tamang kakapost palang na 37K out of 78K (48%) ang nakapasa.
Nadoble ang kaba ko.
Hindi ko agad nakita ang pangalan ko kasi ang bagal magload ng PRC Website.
Kaya napilitan akong pumunta sa iba pang website.
Una kong nalaman na nakapasa ang pinakamamahal kong si JENNICA IRENE RAMOS EDADES.
kahit pa masaya ako, 4x na ang kaba ko.
Habang hinihintay na umabot sa pangalan ko, tumawag na si Sir Pres at siya ang unang nagsabing nakapasa ako!
Saka ko nabasa ang pangalan ko.

Kahit pa nakalimutan kong magdasal bago ang isang NP.

The CNN Freedom Project

Let's end Modern-Day Slavery!

I support this campaign by CNN for I believe the problem on slavery and human trafficking should have been stopped long time ago or at the very least should be stopped now!
I also salute the news organization for this unique way of opening our eyes  and getting us involved in the fight against the aforementioned problems.
I also made a paper plane where I could write my stand in this issue but I latter realized that the image file was corrupted so I tried to google for one.

"Kinse" (Fifteen)

I accidentally watched an episode today of the 6-episode series "Kinse" (Fifteen) at ANC and was able to watch the last 2 mini-movies, one of which was directed by Auraeus Solito of "Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros."

I loved the first mini-movie featuring this "promdi" girl who went to Manila to pursue her job there. I was somewhat bored at first because of the fact that it was black and white and read-the-script type but eventually ended up smiling then raising my eyebrow as the main message of the story was unveiled: indigenous discrimination. I think it is not right to discriminate the indigenous group by all means (in the film, the girl was prohibited to wear their indigenous clothing because it was against the policy).


The next film was a colored one (in contrast to the first, haha). This story featuring the Palawan tribe initially gave me the provincial/rural taste that I find attractive in indie movies.  It follows the story of a tribe member waiting for her "kudyapi" (a musical instrument) because she was asked by the tribe to play it during their assembly. I find it striking that some of the intentions of the movie was boldly expressed like "NO TO CYANIDE FISHING" AND "NO TO POACHING." Overall, this is a pretty interesting "obra" of Auraeus Solito.

[GUEST BLOG POST] Hindi Kailangan ng Bansa ng mga Taong Magpapalubog sa Kanya

nasaan ka ba? umayos ka dahil nandito ka. kung ayaw mo, umalis ka. hindi kailangan ng bansa ng mga taong magpapalubog sa kanya.

kung kabilang ka dito, hindi sapat na pinagmulan lang ang pinanghahawakan mo. dapat maging ang kamalayan at kinalakhan. 'yon ang higit na mahalaga. hindi kailangan ng bansa ng mga taong magpapalubog sa kanya.

tunay ngang laganap ang kolonyal na mentalidad sa bansa. bakit hindi niyo subukan labanan ito? hindi kailangan ng bansa ng mga taong magpapalubog sa kanya.
