Another Busy Day at Work

As expected, after holidays patients came pouring in to be admitted due to hypertension, LBM, vomitting, fever, cough, etc. How I wish it's still Christmas season, wherein nobody wants to be admitted at the hospital, and if they are admitted, they wanted to be discharged even if it's against medical advice... So we are left with few patients to take care of. lol
Now, time to get real and get busy because once again we are full house in our station. Another toxic day! Good luck to the coming days.

Spending my time

In spending my free time, I definitely enjoy going out together with my friends or family just as much as I love spending a lazy day browsing the Internet, watching movies or reading a book from my favorite author. Although to be honest, the latter part seems to be more to my liking since it is less costly. lol Just yesterday, the last day of my four days holiday vacation, I spend the whole day facing the screen of my laptop browsing the Internet. I was really glad to have the time to chat and get in touch with my friends across different parts of the globe, update my profile in FB, check my email, and Search and Download from Rapidshare new mp3 format songs, some old movies and episodes that I missed from the hit TV series, Heroes. It also helped me a lot that I was using a very user-friendly search engine and so convenient to use which allowed me to accomplish so many tasks that I want to do.

Well, I did really enjoy spending my time that I almost forgot to take a bath and eat my dinner. I became so engrossed with what I was doing that I forgot I had been using the Internet for quite a while until my mother knocked on my door and called me up to show my face at the dinner table. Good thing I was off duty so no need to rush.

Every Breath You Take

Finally, I finished this book and the verdict ---- another great novel from Judith McNaught! This is to be expected from such a great writer. Although at first, I had doubts reading it for the reason that it isn't her usual historical romance and that's what I am used to reading. The characters are unforgettably real and what's great about them is that they are connected with the other characters from McNaught's previous books like Matt Farrell and Zack Benedict through friendship. Once again, McNaught was successful in bringing out powerful emotions in this book that will not let you stop till you finish the book. Indeed, I love Judith McNaught!

Truck Insurance

My sister and brother-in-law are into hardware store business and they own two trucks specifically for delivery and loading supplies and sometimes they are rented for other cargo services at a specific price. And because it is new year they have the trucks repainted with color red and white. Now it looks sparkling new. One thing they have to deal with is the insurance policies for both trucks which are also about to expire this year. They are quite unsatisfied with their current insurance agency that they are deciding on shifting into another one which will give them better truck insurance policy and will offer more coverage for the truck and its goods. If you ask me, I don't have the slightest idea on what they are talking about. So I tried to research some information regarding truck insurance policies and here's what I stumble into-- HVG Insurance . Well I got some pretty good ideas from them and it looked like they got great deals to offer. One thing's for sure, it's not that easy to look for the right insurance that will suit your own needs for your own type of vehicle. I will just have to give my sister the piece of information I got that will surely help them decide.

Asthma Attack

My mother had an asthma attack, at least in mild form. I was worried already because I know she acquired an irritating cough about 3 days ago. And with asthmatics, it's almost inevitable they will go into an asthma attack once they have cough and colds... I guess the fluvac wasn't enough to protect her from getting a cough and with the series of busy days she had, accompanied with lack of sleep and further aggravated by an extremely hot weather, it's no wonder her immune system just gave in. So now I am on duty, taking care of my mother. Hope she'll get better after her nebulization.

I want a new bed

Aside from the living room, one of my favorite parts of the house is the bedroom for the obvious reason that I love to doze off and sleep for longer periods whenever I have the time. My friend Renelyn just lend me a book from one of my adored authors, Judith McNaught and I can't wait to leisurely read the book. One thing just puts me off from starting the book is the problem with my old bed. My bed is quite old already and by the feel and looks of it, it does need to be replaced. So while deciding on it, I browsed through the Internet and searched for beds for sale . Hmmm... There were so many to choose from and so much I like for example the luxurious leather beds are really nice and so expensive that they're just a dream for me. The fantastic and stylish wooden beds are ones of which I would love to own someday. I was thinking that I could go to the mall and some furniture shops but it would be a tasking and time-consuming process. There are so many things to consider in buying a new bed but personally, if I'm going to have a new bed I would choose it because of its functionality, comfort, quality and reasonable price.

Scorching Saturday

It's currently 32°C here in the heart of Davao City, Philippines in the middle of Saturday afternoon but it feels like it's almost 40°C. The scorching heat really cuts through your skin that you wouldn't wish to go outdoors...

On the other hand, it has its own benefits. For one, we are having our laundry done and I'm sure that in no time at all, the clothes and linens will all get dry.

Party Everywhere

It's this time of the year where everyone seems to be in a party mode and gets to over-indulged themselves, and I for one, is no exemption. Two weeks ago, we held our Christmas party for all the employees, including residents, APs and consultants of St. John Hospital. The following day was the party for just the nursing department only. And yesterday, I just attended yet another party together with my long time friends. With good company, nice ambiance and good food, I can't help myself but gave in, once again, and enjoyed the delectable, sumptuous and FATTENING foods served at the table...

I will surely have the ill-effects of my actions in a week or two after I weigh myself. Actually, I could use a little weight but I am just bothered gaining fats around my tummy area and thighs. If I have the money, I would not think twice and would willingly undergo a Liposuction to remove these unwanted excess fats. It would be so convenient and a sure treat to any woman :) But I don't. So I guess I will just have to go on a diet and engage more in a physical activity to burn some fats.

Happy New Year

Goodbye 2009 and Hello 2010!!!

For this year, I am hoping to accomplish my top most New Year's Resolution which is to live a healthier life...eat right, exercise and THINK RIGHT! I've got a lot more on my list but I'd like to keep it to myself first and work to make it happen. :)

Need to Recharge

I've been up so late these couple of days and there is nothing more I wish than to sleep all day and recharge. It seems that all my energy has been drained. So much has happened this week... My brother-in-law arrived...and when he comes home, we all go to their place and celebrate. With the Christmas Season in the air...there are so many parties to attend, friends to catch up with, plus I have to go work at the hospital.. Whew! Wish I could give up the last one.lol It really consumes all my energy. But it's out of the option. I am just thankful that my family and friends are always around to give me a boost of strength whenever I need one. I'm pretty sure I am not the only one having so much trouble with their demanding schedules. Now is the busiest season of the year so...I think I shouldn't be complaining. Right! :)
