This is for you, Dinggong!!!

I made this video for the hubby's 24th (not his real age) birthday.

Happy 60th Birthday Dad!!!

Dear Dad,

Happy birthday. I would like to say thank you for everything you have done for our family. Thank you for being a good provider, for working hard and sacrificing a lot in order to give us the things we need and want. Thank you for continuously loving me for who I am. In the midst of my successes and my failures, you have always been there to give your support and understanding. You just don't know how much impact you've had in my life. I admire you for your strength, for the many trials you have overcome in the past, for your forgiving heart, for your patience, for your own way of expressing your love to each and everyone of us.

I may not always say these things to you as often as I should, but in my heart I do appreciate you and I value the things you do for me and my family. I always ask God to keep you safe and pain-free and may you have more birthdays to come.. because I'd still want to spend more time with you, to take care of you, to make you feel important and loved. You have been one of my greatest source of strength and I want you to know that I am so blessed to have a wonderful and loving father like you.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH DAD.. I MISS YOU..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Goodbye, President Cory..

Handog ng Pilipino sa mundo,
Mapayapang paraang pagbabago.
Katotohanan, kalayaan, katarungan
Ay kayang makamit na walang dahas.
BASTA'T MAGKAISA TAYONG LAHAT!!!

Thank you for everything that you have done for our country, Madam President. You have inspired me to be the best in whatever God has called me to do. Thank you for constantly believing that Filipinos are worth it! What you did for the Filipino people will be always be remembered...

First Duty Assignment: Out Patient Department - De Los Santos Medical Center

Hello blogger friends! I'm sorry for being gone for such a long time. I have been very busy juggling my time for family, school, duty and ministry. I am now in my 3rd year as a student nurse and I must say that I'm really enjoying every minute of it. I started having my duty last June 15 and it is actually an overwhelming feeling to be exposed in the clinical area. My first assignment was at the Out Patient Department of De Los Santos Medical Center in Quezon City. I was able to see actual procedures done by the doctors to actual patients. My group mates and I were allowed to interview patients, retrieve their medical records, take vital signs and assist in treatments, when needed. I was able perform the Leopold's maneuver to pregnant women, compute for the age of gestation (AOG), compute for the estimated time of delivery (EDC), administer contraceptive vaccines, assist in pap smear and other pre natal care, get anthropometric measurements of pediatric patients and make a nursing care plan for our patients. Our clinical instructor, Ma'am Martinez, taught us the proper way of assessing patients and how to come up with the right nursing interventions. The only problem was that De Los Santos is a private hospital so there were limitations for student nurses and we weren't able to practice our independent nursing skills but I believe that my experience there had been a good preparation for my second duty rotation.

I am currently assigned in Concepcion Uno Health Center in Marikina. I've already been there for four weeks and tomorrow will be my last day there. My experience in Marikina is a totally different story because we were allowed to do everything and the health center is a facility where a large number of patients arrive at the same time almost everyday. I hope to get the chance to blog about my learning experiences in Marikina soon and I'll try to bring my camera tomorrow so I could take pictures too and post them here.

True Love Waits

True Love Waits
Digi Antonio@Onedaymusic 2009

I remember yesterday I feel so ashamed
When I turned my back on You
If I only did whats right for me
Now I know what life is without Your voice

So open up the skies and show me how to find
The love that Youve stored for me
This empty heart of mine only You can satisfy
May Your will be done in my life

(Chorus)
Time is in Your hand and You made a perfect plan
I believe true love waits
If I trust and obey, Im sure Ill be fine
I believe true love waits

Sometimes I feel so alone and I want someone
That I can hold on to
But then I hear You whisper
Telling me that Youre always there by my side

I believe its true but life can be so cruel
But You will be there when I call
Now I offer You my life, guide me with Your love
Only You can make my life complete

(Bridge)
Your word is pure and true so Ill depend on You
Lord light up my way and show me how
To love in the right time

May this song be an encouragement to everyone to patiently wait for God's will and allow Him to perfectly polish your love stories. May the Lord continuously bless my husband so he could write more songs that would bring glory to His name.
