The Disdain of our New Era....

"As I look around, I was astonished by the things that man had made. It came to my mind how lucky man is. He has the ability to use and to develop things, he has also the ability to rule and to control, but what it is, if not use in right?"

We have taller buildings... but few job opportunities.
We have inventions... but a few are having a good intentions.
We bought too much and less to enjoy it.
We have bigger houses and smaller families.
We receive too much... but give less.

We always complain... but we never try to understand.
We are excited to grow up... but wish to be child again.
we lose our health just to have wealth
And lose our wealth just to have health.

We conquer the outer space...
But we never try to clean our souls.
We love,but we don't mean it.
We act... but we don't think about it.

We established Systems... but fall to bribery.
We've appreciated the discovery of atom....
But we never try to appreciate the simplest things.
We have medicines to cure us...
But we don't have the remedy fro our damaged soul.
We have solutions... but more problems.
We write ... but never gain learnings.

We multiply possessions... but never our morality.
We have technologies... but not contented.
We have great infrastructures... but tiny values.

Now is the time to act, to do what is right.Now is the time to speak.
To listen, to act for justice...
And last to give Love...

think about it, think again....

Si Marie......

abangan ninyo ang buhay ni marie......(hayop ka talaga marie).....

why did I choose NURSING?

It seems everybody's favorite.... this are the words that I uttered from my mouth when I was interviewed by some of the representatives during our entrance exam. Hey! its not what you think!?!.... ok lets make this thing clear. Back in my younger years I have the passion to take care, to help and lastly to inspire. It seems the fate brought me to this course. Never did I expect to pass the NST(nursing series test), I was definitely hopeless at that time actually. Nursing seems to be the most crucial,delicate,and risky course.

Because of the passion I have, maybe God gave me this one of a kind career,its my life actually. Nursing is not about earning dollars,(I know some of you reading this blog didn't believe me). Well its your choice, I've been encountered a lot of people with different walks of life..Now, why Nursing?.

This are some of the questions that bothered by some people.Yes, nursing will lead you to a successful life,being successful means a lot of sacrifices.But its not always like that, nursing is not a joke course, its more on dedication and hard work.How lucky am I that God give me this profession, what makes me lucky?, its when I leave a simple smile and a big thanks from the people I surely help......

hate this.....

yup, i hate my day today..... it seems the world turn against me. Whew!!!!... what a day!!!

The Angels

The angels spend most of their time
on earth with their coworkers the scarecrows.

They have a lot to talk about, and of course
plenty of complaints:

most commonly, they're too light—so often
they're swept up by a passing wind.

(At least the scarecrows are posted down.)

And what are they made of?—all that
dust and straw and powdered lapis. All that

essence dries their throats. One finds
he's up all night longing for a glass of water.

A shot of Gabriel shaking his head
in the moonlight: It's not what I expected,

he says, still watching the house
across the field, where a window has filled

with the underwater light of a television.
The scarecrow shrugs on his cross—

Ain't what I expected either, he mutters
through his sewn mouth.

Speculation: Along the Way

And when, of a given evening, say, an evening laced
with storm clouds skirting distance parsed by slanting light,

or when the thick air of an August afternoon by the late approach
of just such a storm turns suddenly thin and cool, and the familiar

roaring, for the moment made especially unmistakable
by distant thunder, may seem oddly to be answered from within

—that's how it feels, anyway—and when, of a moment, such roaring
couples as well with sudden calm—interior, exterior, it hardly matters—

in that fortunate incursion whereby the roar itself is suddenly interred,
you might startle to having had a taste of what will pass as prayer,

or a taste, at the very least, of how fraught, how laden the visible is,
even as you find a likely figure for its uncanny agency. Sure,

I'm making this up as I go, hoping—even as I go—to be finally
getting somewhere. And maybe I am. Maybe I'm taking you along.

Let's say it's so, and say we now commence.

The roaring alongside he takes for granted.
