Catch up
Hello, home. I’m back. I missed home like I haven’t been here all month long. Months ago, I was praying for a new job to work on. I resigned from my first hospital nursing job to focus on my NCLEX-RN exam review, and to get out of being sick and tired from the merciless system the hospital offered. It was a year of pain and learning without the right compensation and promotion. Still,...

This is my Weight Management story
FYI: I started my weight management last March 1. The measurement last Feb 26 was no different when I did it Feb 28, the day before my program started.

I am neither a fan of WEIGHT LOSS programs nor I need the lose to begin with but I wanted to seriously help people find a REAL SOLUTION for unhealthy weight gain, which can result to obesity. Yes, there’s nothing wrong being...

About me
Photo of yours truly, Juan Paulo Mitra for DurungaJUAN(photoblog) and PauWIKAn(whatever blog).
Thanks to Laurice Catalan for taking this one overwhelming moment with the beauty of God’s creation. Try as I might to capture all that my eye can see, I hardly can give justice to them through my photos. Nevertheless, I’ll never stop sharing all things I see to the world.

Dear Self,
You look so good today, except for the pimple you squeezed last night. Anyway, I am happy that you’re happy with what you’re doing right now. I haven’t seen you get out of your laid-back, unproductive comfort zone since ages and as you know, doing those things will bring you to more places - endless possibilities, perhaps.
Just keep your roots to the ground, the very...

Dear Internet (again),
Your availability always tempts me to divulge personal information onto you that would definitely be relieving. But the principle “you cannot please everybody” warns me that if I don’t want to be stressed further, might as well keep my mouth (actually my blog) shut.
But I’m grateful that in my 23 years of existence, my being an...

Dear Internet,
I am amazed with the volume of information you have and the speed it can be delivered to us. You have been very available as well to individuals from any walk of life.
You enabled me finish my assignments back in school, and also to check on my crush, to look at inspiring photographs and moving testimonies, to get through my first job, to spread the Good News, to expand my...

Engr. E,
We only met once and I applaud your being friendly despite the fact that you’re new to our circle of friends. Just a recap, my friends and I have known each other since grade school. And It’s my waterloo being comfortable with new people right then and there especially when I know nobody. But you, you’re just cool but not the type who’s “feeling close”...

: Nursing: Top 10 Superstitions, Instincts &... →
idledancer:
1. Never say the words “quiet shift” or “hope there’s no codes today”
2. Working with the nurse who’s a JINX - makes for a rough shift
3. A patient who suddenly looks alert and oriented after being unstable – many would have the crash cart ready
4. Certain rooms…

Raburi-chan,
I love the fact we enjoy a lot of things together, like watching movies at home, eating “okoy” and doing artsy stuff I never believed we could do together. We were the cat-and-dog type of siblings but we manage to grow up from our childish ways.
I’m sorry I watched Hansel & Gretel and Warm Bodies without you. But because your so patient on me, WE will watch...

Madame,
I can’t think of words to comfort you but I know you’ll get along with all that has happened. It’s hard when you have put all your faith in one thing you know will never last. Now, the end came and your dreams with it would not happen anymore.
Your face glows a little every now and then but I still feel your bitterness despite the smiles and laughter you try to project....

Dear Friend-no-more,
I never thought I could go far from what I was in love. Then there I met you just sitting quietly in a corner. Low profile. A hidden beauty waiting for her time to unfold.
Then it came. Who could say that you’ll even become Ms. Popular when all you did was just be yourself? But you had it short-lived because you love being quiet, probably alone....

My dearest Martina,
My first niece, you may just be two years and a couple of months old but look how time flies. Before, I can carry you in an arm but now I can’t endure carrying you even on both. You’ve grown so fast.
But you are and will always be the fountain of joy in our family. Although you’re having a lot of tantrums lately, we always love you dear! I pray that...

Dear Ma’am,
What made me forget everything I know? All my beliefs replaced by scenarios: all the episodes of you especially the ones that hurt. Even the few that made me laugh, well I can’t get them back. So I would like another look inside you.
Yes, I would love the chance to love you like I’ve never known you.
Yours,
Me.

Dear Someone,
I hope we will never meet so that I wouldn’t have a chance to judge a person by first impression. I honestly can’t remember anyone from my past maybe because they didn’t matter and never had a place in my memory.
Respectfully,
Me.

Dear You,
Thanks for breaking my heart and letting me know I don’t deserve you either. You should have said it earlier. Be mature next time.
With love and respect,
Me.

Dear Today,
You were really tough on me. You saw how horrible I looked like and you felt how miserable I was with all that you have brought me today.
And yet there’s a light that shone saying “Sometimes God chooses the saddest heartbreak to let us see Him shine brighter than we could ever imagine. It’s not that He’s playing with us and our emotions but it’s for us...

I know a person who is in authority but never bragged about it nor abused it and pushed people to doing whatever He wants. Instead, He empowered and lead people by being a good follower and a good example to mankind - that despite our being human, we can resist temptation and do the impossible for the glory of God.
He also is a very busy man, with all the purpose God has put in Him and yet He...

Prances,
I always wonder what you look like now? I recall my elementary (Grade1) days having you around, my first “puppy love.” You were the class president and I’m your vice. You were the beauty, I was the best. HAHAHA! We used to discreetly eat our baon (recess snacks) together, hiding from our classmates. They used to pick on us whenever they see us together. But I can...

Jason Mraz,
Thanks for the music you create. Your words move me a lot and I have never memorized as many songs as I did on all your albums. I might be recording my favorite songs of yours. I just need more practice. HAHA!
I hope you get to visit Philippines again, soon! I really looked forward to what you said on your last concert here, that you’ll be coming back for your 2012 world tour...

Dear Mum,
Every day is a day closer to your coming home and all the more I get excited about it. Although we have been used to our debate portion on most of our recent conversation, I love the fact that we both don’t take it so serious. Not that we don’t care about it but I know you’re just being you - a mother who can’t help to worry about her son.
And I...

Bestie,
It’s been ages since we last had a quality time together. You’ve been a very busy person. Aside from your career as a local emergency unit coordinator, you also are preoccupied with your current relationship, which always happens even back in college. We, your friends if you remember, always say that you tend to “forget” when you’re “taken.” And...

Dear You (again),
If you happen to read day 12 and realized it was you, and if you get offended again, I’m sorry.
That’s just me being HONEST. Truth hurts. You did.
Sincerely,
Me

Dear You,
How dare you call yourself “friend” when you left me alone, suffering from not knowing that you got offended by my “sarcasm.” Was it, or were you just expecting me to be treating you like you’re some kind of god worthy only of honor and praise? Why didn’t you just tell me to grow up from fooling around, if that’s what you saw? So let’s say...
