So many nursing schools and so many nurses without jobs.

I once saw a former student’s mom who is a nursing instructor in one of the universities in the metro. She told me that she is sad a lot of nurses are “hanging up their nursing scrubs for good” in search for a more lucrative work overseas.

She said something about a cap on nurses being recruited abroad. I could be wrong with what I heard though.

The country has “produced” so many Nursing graduates but either they don’t have a job right now and are in a different work OR has taken a different turn in another profession.

I heard many are geared towards teaching special education.

• Insurance
• Loans
• Mortgage
• Attorney
• Credit

These five words are among the top 20 most expensive adwords.

How does one know when it is the right time to click here and click there? It depends on how these clickable links are placed in a post/article.

Some links are “accidentally” clicked because they are positioned in places where it is easy to do so. Some links just pop up and catch you by surprise.

Back to the most expensive adwords: I think these are the top expensive adwords due to so a few reasons: bad economy, overused credit cards, mortgage and loans that are not paid in proper time and too much excess that seem absurd at times considering the fragile economy.

Hurrah! for Starbucks because they are implementing “No Smoking” in all stores. I wonder if I would see people there using ecigarette.

Why would they not have this tule, there is a “No Smoking in Public” law of RA 9211 or Tobacco Regulation that was passed.

For those who are allergic to smoke like me and those who have asthma, this is definitely something we have to say we approve of. Yey!

There will be designated smoking areas for the smokers and I’m sure I wouldn’t want to venture in those area 😉 How would people know if these are the designated areas for smoking, authorities say they will put big drums with sand inside. I really hope the authorities will be strict in implementing these rules and not just be strict at the beginning of the implementation.

To smokers, you are not being told to NOT smoke, you can smoke all you want, only in the designated areas where you are supposed to smoke. Ktnxbai.

Am starting to de-clutter because the kids are not yet home from their vacation with my parents. Today I’m going to sort their toys. To make me work on it, I decided to have these toys in the living room, seeing them, seeing the mess and making me sit down finally and finish the task.

When I had a major de-cluttering in the library, I “unearthed’ a lot of documents, mostly from my graduate study files. There I re-read my paper about women’s rights, special education, other photocopied materials about children, playing, oxycontin detox and even insurance proposals that somehow found their way in the files.

I really need to finish these today especially since hubby and I are going to watch The Proposal in a BlueWater Day Spa cinema later. Woot!

Homeless NY Father Finds Daughter Through Twitter says the headline I read in one of the first sites that announced this good news this morning. father is Mr. Danny Morales who found his daughter through Twitter in a project called Underheard in New York.

Underheard in New York is a project where homeless people are given a prepaid mobile phone to keep a record of their lives.

Mr. Morales posted a photo of his daughter Sarah Rivera in Twitter.

Certainly good news for loved ones who have not been in touched with each other for years.

I’m sure people who read their story were moved to tears. Who would have thought technology, specifically social media, would be the way for long lost loved ones to see each other again. Continue Reading »

Reading about the Philippines having the highest charges for electricity gives me immense headache (like I don’t already have one yet since I’m sick).

Here we are, doing ways to save on electricity among other expenses, never mind if moms like me who handle the budget have acne breakouts losing sleep on how to make ends meet.

Then we read this kind of news. It is very, very disappointing, disheartening, horrible.

Sigh.
