I'm a Certified PEDIA TOXIC Clerk

Pedia ward rotation just started and I guess I can confirm na I'm a toxic clerk especially to the number of patients! When I was on my second emergency pedia duty, I admitted 4 patients in a day. And I disregarded the thought that I'm toxic because the my first ER duty, "petiks" lang.

But now comes Pedia Ward rotation, my first post was in the Nursery/Delivery room. Me and leslie were the first of the group to rotate in the nursery 24 hour duty. Our first duty... 4 catches! Sabi pa ng intern and dra. wong na usually 1 or 2 catches per day lang.. We made it toxic! And now comes the 2nd 24 hour duty... we had 6 catches!!!!! 3 of them were CS pa! Grabe! Pagdating namin ng morning we thought na benign pero came 10:30am.. may dumating na isa na malapit na manganak. After that may dumating na isa pa, na ANG TAGAL manganak... and siya ung na-emergency CS around midnight! Then we had one catch naman na dumating 5cm dilated.. then 6-7cm dilated tapos biglang nagsisisigaw, and un! Good thing nailagay na siya sa table when the baby suddenly splurted out!!!! Grabe!!! Then after that na-cs na ung emergency CS then ung isang dumating ng 10pm para sa repeat CS! Ang question ko lang dun sa repeat CS eh WHY?!!? AT NIGHT! PWEDE NAMAN SA UMAGA! BAKIT KA PA SA GABI DUMATING! And then un... natira na alng ung isang patient na eventually i-CS din pala which we passed on sa next batch hehehe

Grabe... we slept 3am na nun.. tapos walang from status kasi Fabella na ung next rotation namin.. so I'm awake for like 36 hours with just 1and1/2 hour sleep. I can't imagine pag nasa wards na ako... baka ang toxic ko... huhhuhuhu and pano na pag nasa OB/GYNE rotation na ako!!!! GOOD LUCK NA LANG SA AKIN!!! HAHAHAHAHA

TOMASINO ako!!! Ikaw ba?? :P

Review: Hairspray the Musical in Manila!

Nov 29, 2008

Me and my friends (Zye, Alex, RJ, Leslie, and Paola) watched HairSpray Musical in Star Theater, CCP Complex.

Pretty excited when I saw in the newspapers that this was showing in Manila. I didn't think twice to watch it.

anyway, here's the my review

The Stage: WOW! Hard work really paid off here. It was good and very colorful. Very 60's. I must say, it's more or less at par with the theatre stage in the UK. ;)

The Sound: WOW again! :D Hindi sabog, and at first we thought minus one lang ung nagplay, but I guess may mga live orchestra playing somewhere coz we saw some musicians going home carrying their instruments. One slight problem with the actors' and actresses' voice, may ibang mahina, may ibang parang muffled. But overall, it's ok :D

The Singing: Galing! :D All of them did a great job! And Michael de Mesa (Edna) can sing!!! Wow! dun ako nagulat. Hands down kay Dulce (Motor Mouth) and Nyoy Volante (Seaweed) :D Madel Ching (Tracey) was also great! Very nice for an theatre debut :D

The Acting: I must say.. this is one of the best. Madel Ching (Tracey) did very well in portraying her role. As I said, she is good and very cute too :D Monica Reynoso (Penny) was sooooo good! And galing niya! Wala na akong masasabi. Of course, Michael de Mesa, hands down talaga. And who would've thought Nyoy Volante can dance?! Galing din!

Overall: I'll give this one a 4.5/5 stars. Why the .5? dapat perfect kaya lang was a little disappointed with the place. The theatre was HARD to find! Ang liit ng signs nila, and we thought it was near Aliw Theater since they have the posters there too. We were late 3 minutes tuloy.. Enough about that.. All I can say that this is a GREAT production. I enjoyed watching this as compared to WestSide Story. Everything was great about this musical, from the stage to the actors to the production. GALING! :D I guess Atlantis Productions did justice to the musical :D

To those who haven't watch, WATCH IT! I highly recommend it! :D

Wish list for Xmas :P *nagpaparamdam*

Sino kayang mabait na magbibigay sa akin nito :P hehe
Some info about that bag.. it's a Lacoste Metro Premium Document Case Reference no. m82008,

or...
Sony Ericsson W902 phone
or a Canon EOS 1000D

Libre lang naman mangarap :P pagbigyan niyo na hehehe

Windows 7... Redmond.. started their photocopiers again..

As we all know, Windows Vista has proven to be a FLOP for Microsoft. The Windows OS that gave a lot of headaches to both consumers and business industry using Microsoft as their OS. Consumers were better off with Windows XP, didn't even bother to upgrade to Vista. Even Microsoft has to extend support for Windows XP for a few more years. PC makers like HP, Dell, has to offer options for Windows XP as the OS even if they are selling Vista-PCs already.

And now, Microsoft after a one year of release and after some point of denial has decided to make Windows 7. The next Windows version. Pretty funny.. first they said that it's not a major update.. now they say it is.. I guess they have come to their senses that Vista is INDEED a FLOP..

So what's new with Windows 7? So far, it's still under development, and they are planning to release it Late 2009 or Early 2010. And here's what they have "photocopied" so far...

The "new" taskbar of Windows 7

hmmm they changed it... and it looks like the DOCK of MacOS X.. tsk tsk...

Next.. options for the application on the task bar wherein you don't have to view the window in order to control...

funny... Mac OS X has this one since 10.1... tsk tsk...
They call this "Jump List", where in you see the windows of one application with a click.
Pretty handy? Hmmm... I think Mac OS X 10.3 called this... Expose.. not only the windows of a certain application.. there is also an option wherein you could see ALL the opened applications, with just one click.


and they said.. an "improved" Start Menu... ummm.. what's the improvement here? Took out some.. still looks the same...

tsk tsk tsk... I guess Microsoft really has no NEW ideas... tsk tsk tsk.. Redmond is really a photocopier..

So.. Windows 7.. as one of the Windows enthusiast from (Winsupersite.com) said.. "Let's pretend Vista never happened.." haha Blocking defense mechanism? So immature..

Oh yeah.. Mac OS X 10.6 / Snow Leopard is due mid-2009. Pretty good stuffs awaits us Mac users.. Wonder when we'll see these technology in Windows? maybe Windows 9? :P

Switch to Mac! ;)

life's happier :P

Review: West Side Story

Carmel, Leslie, Elaine, RJ, Alex, Donna, Yentl (w/ bf), and Zye (w/ bf) and me watched West Side Story yesterday (Oct 10, 2008) in the Meralco Theater.

I was really looking forward to watch this musical. And it was kinda funny because we were really praying that Joanna Ampil will be the one who will be playing as Maria and not Karylle. And I guess we were lucky. It was also funny because when it was announced that Joanna Ampil was playing that part, most of the people in the theater rejoiced! hahaha guess walang may gusto kay Karylle? :P Christian Bautista played Tony.

So here goes..

The Stage: It was... okay... but they should've done a better one. It didn't made me feel like that play was set in America. There was this one part wherein they were knocking at the door, and the walls were also vibrating! Funny.. I've seen Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo and they had better set than this one..

(as leslie, elaine, and carmel said, don't compare to broadway daw.. pero my point is this was a broadway production.. they should've tried making the set better... or maybe because sa Meralco theatre lang.. heheh)

The Sound: SABOG... I'm blaming this to the sound system of Meralco Theatre... Ok na sana, pero sabog eh... Even during dialogues, there were some part na humihina ung boses, there were some part na sobrang lakas nung boses and even the sounds. I haven't watched this sa Broadway, but I find it to have so much dead air... I was hoping that before it started may music, when it ended and they were bowing to the audience, may music din... but there was none... Kinda bland lang...

The Singing: Hands down kay Joanna Ampil, she was great.. but still the sound system of Meralco theatre didn't give her justice.. There was this part when Anita and Maria were singing together.. ang hina nung kay Maria, and Anita's was loud and halos sinapawan na ung sound ni Maria..
Also to Christian Bautista, he's good at this. I guess he really belongs to the theatre.

The Acting: Hands down for the girl who played Anita. Ang galing niya! She dances good, she sings good, she acts good.. One comment though.. she sounded like the aunt of Happy Slip...
Another thing that I noticed.. the accents... I have no complaints for the American accent.. but the Puerto Rican accent.... *sigh*, they didn't sound like Puerto Rican, more like a Filipino... at least Joanna Ampil did some justice to it... but the others... I was wondering if they had training in this... just as I said Anita, sounded like the aunt of Happy Slip...

Overall, I must say, maganda ung musical. I had fun watching it. ;) I rate it 3.5/5

And bakit every act/song pumapalakpak ung audience.... hindi naman ito variety show... heheh

I really hope that more and more musicals would be produced here in the Philippines. ;)

Loving this Song.. "Ngiti"

Loving this song.. :D

Ngiti
by Ronnie Liang

Minamasdan kita
Nang hindi mo alam
Pinapangarap kong ikaw ay akin
Mapupulang labi
At matinkad mong ngiti
Umaabot hanggang sa langit

Huwag ka lang titinginsa akin
At baka matunaw ang puso kong sabik

[Chorus]
Sa iyong ngiti ako'y nahuhumaling
At sa tuwing ikaw ay gagalaw
Ang mundo ko'y tumitigil
Para lang sayo
Ang awit ng aking puso
Sana'y mapansin mo rin
Ang lihim kong pagtingin

Minamahal kita ng di mo alam
Huwag ka sanang magagalit
Tinamaan yata talaga ang aking puso
Na dati akala ko'y manhid

Hindi pa rin makalapit
Inuunahan ng kaba sa aking dibdib

[Chorus]
Sa iyong ngiti ako'y nahuhumaling
At sa tuwing ikaw ay lalapit
Ang mundo ko'y tumitigil
Ang pangalan mo sinisigaw ng puso
Sana'y madama mo rin
Ang lihim kong pagtingin

Sa iyong ngiti ako'y nahuhumaling
(Sa iyong ngiti)
Sa tuwing ikaw ay gagalaw
Ang mundo ko'y tumitigil
Para lang sa'yo...
(Para lang sa'yo ang awit ng aking puso)
Sana ay mapansin mo rin...
Ang lihim kong pagtingin
Sa iyong ngiti...

Boooo!!!! Laarni!!! Boooo!!! PDA!!!

Very disappointing.. this season's Pinoy Dream Academy..

hay... much more deserving si Liezel.. hay... very disappointing.. bakit ganyan magjudge mga Filipinos? hay...

Nakakadepress...

BOO!!! LAARNI! BOO MIGUEL!!!

WALA BA KAYONG COMMON SENSE?

This morning, NOTRE DAME SCHOOL OF GREATER MANILA is having their foundation day. This certain car is parked IN FRONT OF OUR GATE! COMMON SENSE, Gate yan, why park in front of it?! Good thing my parents have already parked the car outside, then yung problem is when they come back. Low and behold, nung nakabalik na sila, NANDUN pa din ung car. We have already asked the incompetent guards of Notre Dame to page the owner of the car, but one hour has passed, wala pa din. The incompetent barangay tanod's who are in-charge of the parking were also STUPID! Di daw nila nakitang nagpark. WHAT INCOMPETENT FOOLS!

Are they really that STUPID!? Common sense will tell you that you are blocking the gate, and the folks living there might have a car that it's a Sunday and they might go out anytime. Simple COMMON SENSE wala sila!
This is not the first time that has happened to us. Ever since talaga ganyan na. Maybe the parents/drivers/students are just plain STUPID!

i don't know what this school is teaching their students.

TO THE OWNER OF THIS CAR:
Ay, STUPID...

PA-CHEESEBURGER KA NAMAN! BURGER! BURGER! BURGER!
