Yes, I woke up this morning energized to go to the gym. I realized that I am off so I decided to go back to the gym. It's been a very long time that I haven't been back to the gym because of my procrastinations but right now I realized that I needed to because it seems that I feel so ogre.
Yes, I've been infusing pounds for so many months that I haven't been going to the gym for almost two years. It seems that my two jobs had been pulling my drive down to exercise because every time I'm landing to do it I felt tired. It must have been also due to my procrastinations because of those nagging fatigue. Plus my old self is not consummate anymore to do such strenuous activities. I'm not getting any younger anymore.
With that I have to probably modify my routines for my current condition. Even my health is not conducive anymore to those exercises I've been doing in the past. Oh my, theses were the gold old damn days I can remember.
I've geared myself for the gym after I woke up and drove straight to there. I just live like one mile from there so it doesn't take that long for me to get there. My worries is the parking and if the facility will be packed because it is almost 0800H in the morning.
When I arrived at the parking lot I spotted a very nice parking on the first floor then I alighted form the car and headed inside the reception area. I didn't even realized that it was no longer Ballys. I've heard from last year the Ballys no longer serviced Californians and the management was already been transferred to LA Fitness.
When I got form the receptionist the lady had to issue me another card under the services of LA Fitness but it didn't take that long. I just have to sign the new contract which they carried over from my last contract under Ballys and took me a new picture with my headphone on.
When I passed through registration and took my new ID, I went inside the building and saw that it was not packed. Good, I can do my routines well without lining up for the machines that I needed to use for my routines.
I went into the locker room first to tuck my little bag and took off my sweater and locked it inside the locker. Then I went out the locker room and went directly to the treadmill and program my cardio exercises. I walked and jogged for almost one hour trying to reach my goal of five miles mixing speeds of 3.0 and 3.5 with some inclines.
Since it was my first day back I decided to just make it more easy and just do a lot of stretchings afterwards to condition myself. I'm not gonna tire myself for now. Hopefully tomorrow I can challenge myself more so that I can keep my body accustomed to it until it needed to amped the exercises.
After doing the cardio I went to lift weight by focusing on my upper arm first then my lower legs. After that I went to do some sit-ups then went to the stretching machine and stretched myself for thirty minutes. In order to cool down afterwards I walked three times around the oval then I called it quits.
I never been feeling better after that. It was a breath of fresh air that I am back again to the gym without even stressing myself out. It was a very interesting first day for me.
After the cooling down I went down to the locker room, washed my hands thoroughly then grabbed my bag and sweater from the locker then took my green plum inside the bag and wash it then ate it while I am coming out of the locker room and leaving the building.
Gosh, I was really that I am back again to the gym and I am hoping that I will keep it until I get some results. My goals this time is to just take my time and just decrease my weight gradually to my desired. Hopefully, no more procrastinations so that I could benefit from this concerned move. Crossing my fingers to have it fulfilled.

Olympic Opening Parade
Yesterday marked the opening day of the XXX Olympic Game sheld in London, UK. I worked last night but I see to it that the telecast was been recorded on my TIVO so that I can watch it when I get home in the morning. And yes it was been recorded in full high color definition.
When I got home this morning I took a hearty breakfast, drank my milk, and my necessary early morning medicine then giddily positioned myself in front of my big screen television. I look like a very eager and excited boy waiting for my mom to give me surprises. And it was indeed a very interesting show I was prepping myself to watch at that time.
When the show gradually paced itself I was so amused at the pompous opening number choreographed by the ever famous Director Michael Boyle and it was very entertaining.
The show started slowly and then it paced pulsatingly until it become more interesting to watch. I like the fact that the Mother Queen had participated with the opening with a double to do the parachuting stunt landing at the stadium to open the games of the 30th Olympiad.
Although gaiety and the pompousity of the event cannot match the showmanship of the Chinese during the last olympic the propgram had ended up with a lot of British flare on it. It can't be ignored that it was very British in some ways.
The visual effects and the flow of the videos presented were very intricate and exciting. I loved them. The stadium was packed and the capacity was surmounting.
The most excitable scene I have seen was the participation of the Mother Queen accompanied by James Bonds Daniel Craig and the participation of the two cute royal dogs plus 20 billion people had a glance of the inside of Kensington Palace where she resides.
There were very interesting presentations like the Parade of Nations wherein I was very emotional when my country Philippines was been featured with eleven athletes dressed in barongs. I got goosebumps also with the flare of the United States athletes and seeing my favorite athletes like Kosume Kitajima (which I'm rooting to win another two golds in a game he dominated in the last two olympiads.)
The pompousity of the opening program was very intoxicating until it came to the lighting of the cauldron wherein Mr. Redgrave (one of the most celebrated British athlete) along with other six well known British athletes passed the seven torch to seven British sports atheletes who lighted the ends of the 200 tiny lying long slender tubes.
The fire they lighted on the tube started to flow in circular motion making the circumference of the lying slender tubes imminent because of the flowing glowing lights. The trick was this tube was hoisted slowly to stand making the lighted tips meet midair forming an enormous big and circular playing flames at the center of the arena. The standing long tubes where compressed together forming a big urn at the middle with the tongues of the fire flickers from the distance. It was the highlight of the show. Magnificent idea Director Boyle. Very egalitarian.
The show was culminated by Sir Paul singing Beattle's inspiring songs while playing an expensive looking piano at the center of the satage. He even upped the excitement of the people which he sang the song "Hey Jude" with an very promising participation of the audiences, atheletes, and participants that packed the enormous stadium.
Then after that the games was officially opened by the Mother Queen. Well, LOndon wasvery prepared about this event and the security was very tight. I am glad that I have saved the entire celebration of the said event. Yay!

Random Musings
It was my third night at work and I am so bored. I've already did all necessary things that are needed to be done the previous two days and I am happy that I've got a little break tonight but believe me I am so dead bored because I am not very productive tonight.
I tried doing some corrections on some of the care plans so that I can keep myself busy yet I can't help feeling to bored so I decided to just write some blogs and post my rndom musings.
a) I am so excited about our 25th reunion in high school which will be held this coming December 29 and 30. My classmates way back home were also busy for planning it. I am also contributing my ideas through Facebook and I am glad everything went smooth lately. I am very very excited about that day where I will be meeting my former classmates whom I haven't seen for many many years. I just can't wait to see them again.
b)I am also excited lately that I have started my long dream of placing a little garden outside the patio at my apartment. I wanted to have for so long but I have no time to realize it and just this Friday I started to do it by buying a sack of fertilized soil and also plastic pots. I started to plant the lemon grass I've been soaking near my kitchen window and finally they were on soil already. I also bought a pot of beautiful zinnias and fragrant gardenias plus I bought a cute pot of venus flytrap plant and a small dotted aloe vera plant.
c) I finally met our new administrator. She is a young, African-American lady. Very serious about the budget that's why she always emphasized clocking-in and -out. She even made me redo an employee incident report twice which got me irritated. I don't like her for that.
d) I was very cautious about my infection control coordinator. She was very cocky and Iam very irritated about her commenting on the newly admit resident last Saturday because the morning supervisor had placed the resident on contact isolation precaution. I told her, "Well, that's your job description so I am sorry I couldn't help you for that. We're just being paid the same and I am just doing my own job." I was up to the brim already so I blatantly shut her off.
e) I had a funny experience about texting. My handsome neighbor whom I always flirted all the time had send me a very provocative picture through a text. In short he was flirting with me with his picture showing me off his pubic hair. In response I also texted him that the pic was gorgeous and that if he can spend a night with me so that I can give him a head. Embarrassingly, I texted it to the previous person I had in contact with and that was my immediate superior at work. She texted me back that I have send her a wrong text and I was laughing about it. She just politely texted back telling me to have fun and be safe.
f)I am mad at my favorite maseuse because he was just massaging me in a hurry lately. When he was about to come last Monday for a regular session I texted him not to come and told him that I am no longer hapy with his services. Instead I went to the massage parlor near my house which is even more affordable and reasonable.
g)My clinical batch from school who is rotating now at Rosecrans Care Center are very new and very timid. They were all having their own issues and I think they were scare dof me because of the strict face I put on them during their orientation day. I hope they will learn form me after their rotation. I am trying my best to help them.
So far these are the random thoughts I can remember lately and I am glad I had enumerated them here in the midst of my boredom at work. Another day had passed and another day in history had been recorded in my annals of experiences. Have a nice day. Ciao!

Long Night At Work
I came in yesterday to work at 1700H because the one that I am relieving will have to leave early for the reason that he will be leaving at 2200H to the Philippines because of a death in his immediate family. As a consideration I said yes to come in early when my immeidiate boss had asked me to come because he still has to pack his things and leave that night. And besides I know the feeling of having to rush when catching up a flight.
I came to work getting ready for the long night to happen. I wasn't really that excited because I know there will be a lot of paper works to do and tend. I knew that there will be an admission when I come back and that there's still some pending recommendations to do left to me by the medical disciplinary team.
I still have to do the dietary recommendations which I had barely started last night and the dreaded pharmacy recommendations which was a little thicker lately compared to the one I did last month. Good thing I already did the psychotropic summaries early this month and had reviewed all informed consents that's needed to be attached to the chart. Well, it's no joke really and I have to anticipate what will happen next.
I arrived at work then started to get report from Verne. The new admission was already there and Verne had started inputting some orders in the computer. I noticed that he needs to leave soon so I told him I will finish whatever he didn't do. Well, I have no means but to do it because he has to leave immediately.
I started to input the MDs orders of the newly readmitted resident in 218D and just keep doing it after every thing were okay. Good thing I finished every thing after two hours. After I am done with it I started to do another work which is also inputting new orders made by Dr. Lang when he made rounds earlier for all of his residents.
It was just easy to input them in the computer because there were only few resident's to do, like eight residents. After printing the new orders and faxing it to the pharmacy I immediately put them in the chart.
It was already 2200H when I was done for those orders made by Dr. Lang then a little bit after I started to do my assessments for the new admit doing the assessments for bladder and bowel, physical restraints, pain and comfort, dehydration, resident and family education, tuberculosis, smoking, and elopement assessments. It was a very taxing job but I have to be sure they will be in the computer or else I will be audited bymedical records.
After that, I also updated the care plans and I added eight care plans out of that readmission aside from updating the old care plans. Care planning was very meticulous and very time consuming especially reupdating a readmitted resident. I have to change the dates for every entry so I have to take my time until I am finished inputting everything.
At around 2300H the night crew had arrived then I have to gather them up and do a little huddle explaining to them what goals to be expected for the whole night then after that I send them to their respective assignments to do their first round.
It was almost midnight so I decided to take my thirty minute lunch. I have to ask Najwa earlier to buy me some Chinese food when she left to grab some food outside. I had gobbled the food hungrily and voila my lunch time was already over.
I went back to work and started all my IV meds to two residents who have infection then after that I started doing the dietary and pharmacy recommendations which I did until the morning. I was very busy that I didn't even notice it was already 0500H. The night was long yet the time flies so quick.
I am glad I was so productive tonight doing a lot of things. I didn't even felt sleepy because I kept managing myself to be busy. I am so flattered I did a lot tonight and I am proud of myself. It was just a rare night for me to be busy but I am loving the idea. I'd love to do it again. Oooh.... how I love my job.

The Joy Of Shopping And Cooking Food
Earlier, after I got out of my clinical work at Rosecrans Care Center with Batch 35B I went to the Korean Market near where I live called "Hongkong Supermarket". It was a big market with a lot of Asian fruits and vegetables to select. I was excited to roam around and see some of the fruits I was longing to buy and eat.
The sweet and crunchy Chinese jujubes caught my eye so I decided to buy it. I remember the first time I ate it, I still remember the crunchiness of the starchy fruit. It is as crunchy as guava or apple and the sweet and starchy taste was still making my mouth water. On the picture is an sample of the jujube that made me in love a year ago. Hmmm...
I continued shopping until I saw several sweet and crunchy green plums that also made my mouth water so I bought four and also grabbed some crunchy white peach nearby. I also bought some green broccoli and roman hearts for I was intending to make some salads tomorrow with that crunchy white peach I bought.
I feasted my eyes on the fruit section then decided to go to check the different mushrooms at the corner. There were black button one, portobellos, and the small Korean and Japanese mushrooms I used to buy for my fish soup.
Thinking of fish I decided to cook fish soup today. I decided to make cioppino soup so I decided to go to the fish section and decided to buy some catfish when I saw a package of fish and clams faith different veggies from the crystal display. I checked the price and it looks reasonable. It also seem very convenient because the package was only intended for one cooking and is enough for me.
There were clams, squids, mussels, shrimps, catfish and red cod fish slices plus some cuts of onions, shallots, bell peppers, carrots, zucchinis, jalapeños, white radish, and several Korean green leaves that I don't recognize plus some herb leaves I don't know. I grabbed one package for I think it's only enough for me.
I was also craving for a boiled corn so I decided to go back to the vegetable section and decided to take some Korean corns as well as my favorite Asian purple yams. Then I headed to the counter and paid for what I shopped. Here is the picture of the cooked Korean corn which I was craving. It is very tender and juicy and oh so sweet. Hmmm....
When I got home, I immediately changed my scrub with my house cloths then I decided to cook my cioppino soup because my tummy was already gurgling from hunger. I haven't ate any lunch earlier during my clinical duty because I was so busy and I decided to just cook and eat at home so now I was trying to make this experimental cioppino soup that I was imagining all along my drive home. And by the way, this is the first time I am cooking it and I hope it will not be disastrous.
I immediately placed my pot on the stove and piled the contents of the fish package I bought from the supermarket. Then I added a liter of water, sliced garlic and tomatoes, then two dried bay leaves, pinch of salt, and the chili-tomato sauce that goes with the package. When the water started to boil I tasted it again and see if I still needed to add more salt then I dropped all the veggies and let it simmered for another five minutes.
When I turned off the flames from the stove, I scooped some of the ingredients and placed it on my bowl. Yummmy..... though it was my first time to cook it it seems that it was the best cioppino I ever tasted. The spiciness was just enough to rattle my taste buds. It was fiery hot yet expertly flavored and dedicatedly cooked with passion. I ate two bowls and I was so full after that... Here is the picture of the so called cioppino I made. Eventhough you cannot taste it at least you can see it online and feast it with your eyes.
Yum! Yum1 Yum! I hope you all enjoyed it. This is the best cioppino I ever tasted and the first time I ever cooked. Enjoy guys!

Teaching Is A Joy
Right now I am with Batch 36-A assigned at Long Beach Care Center. Actually, I have met them last week. This group is very quiet but very eager to learn and they accepted me wholeheartedly which I am glad to know.
I tried my very best to teach them how to make a good and effective nursing care plan so I focused a lot on teaching them good techniques on how to make one. It is a joy to know that they are very open to criticisms and it lifted my heart that they are very eager to learn each day. Sad to know though that tomorrow will be their last day.
At least I am leaving them very efficient now in making their individualized care plans and I am very positive that they will be well equipped later on as they progress on their term. I felt fulfilled when I heard some good comments about my mentorship and I am very proud of my achievements. Thank you God for being there all the time guiding me to teach this eager students on their way to achieve their goal to become a compassionate nurse.
My profession is the most rewarding career I ever felt and there is always happiness in serving people of all walks of life. They are just bundles of joy that spiced up my day and I loved doing it all the time. I can't get enough so I always makes an extra mile doing things for them.
My teaching job had given me extreme satisfaction in serving these eager students. I never realized that I will end up teaching. It might be triggered by my love with my mom. My mom is a ver competent teacher and seeing her do her job when I was little had inspired me so much. It was a joy to see her guiding these students become successful and seeing them come back and tell my mom that they are grateful for all her efforts when they were under her empathic care.
My work in the hospital had also taught me how to be more patient to my clients. My perseverance of doing patient care at the bedside for twelve grueling hours had made me tough and confined. I am more passionate in what I do and I am loving the fact that I had developed my personality into a respectable kind of guy.
With all this knowledge, success, achievements, and success that I have achieved all throughout my lifetime I can say that I also gained more wisdom especially when I commit mistakes. And I always go back and reflect why it had happened and internalized the circumstances for me to learn what should have been done.
Now, I am a more focused person always equipped with goals to tackle every day. I am more alert in my actions thinking the consequences of my actions. I am very more creative in dealing with my students and I am proud all the time when they make some good and inspiring side comments about my efforts for them. I am loving what I do and will forever continue doing it until my last breath.
It is an irony though because n as much as I wanted to start it in my home I can't do it because I am far from my nephews and nieces who really needed me badly to usher them to a better life. I am just praying and hoping that they will be okay and will be in good hands and that they will grow up to be a knowledgeable, dynamic, and confident gals and guys.
I tried my very best to teach them how to make a good and effective nursing care plan so I focused a lot on teaching them good techniques on how to make one. It is a joy to know that they are very open to criticisms and it lifted my heart that they are very eager to learn each day. Sad to know though that tomorrow will be their last day.
At least I am leaving them very efficient now in making their individualized care plans and I am very positive that they will be well equipped later on as they progress on their term. I felt fulfilled when I heard some good comments about my mentorship and I am very proud of my achievements. Thank you God for being there all the time guiding me to teach this eager students on their way to achieve their goal to become a compassionate nurse.
My profession is the most rewarding career I ever felt and there is always happiness in serving people of all walks of life. They are just bundles of joy that spiced up my day and I loved doing it all the time. I can't get enough so I always makes an extra mile doing things for them.
My teaching job had given me extreme satisfaction in serving these eager students. I never realized that I will end up teaching. It might be triggered by my love with my mom. My mom is a ver competent teacher and seeing her do her job when I was little had inspired me so much. It was a joy to see her guiding these students become successful and seeing them come back and tell my mom that they are grateful for all her efforts when they were under her empathic care.
My work in the hospital had also taught me how to be more patient to my clients. My perseverance of doing patient care at the bedside for twelve grueling hours had made me tough and confined. I am more passionate in what I do and I am loving the fact that I had developed my personality into a respectable kind of guy.
With all this knowledge, success, achievements, and success that I have achieved all throughout my lifetime I can say that I also gained more wisdom especially when I commit mistakes. And I always go back and reflect why it had happened and internalized the circumstances for me to learn what should have been done.
Now, I am a more focused person always equipped with goals to tackle every day. I am more alert in my actions thinking the consequences of my actions. I am very more creative in dealing with my students and I am proud all the time when they make some good and inspiring side comments about my efforts for them. I am loving what I do and will forever continue doing it until my last breath.

Meeting The New Group
I have to handle Batch 26A at Long Beach Medical Center for two days because their initial instructor was accidentally assigned at Hancock Care Center and meeting them was a big challenge. I just don't know where to start at first and I am quite ineffective at that moment because my expectations was that they were knowledgeable of the fundamentals as taught in their FON.
I kind of trick them to write a baby care plan to gauge where they're at now and also assigned them to do two drug studies. When they're done I started to check it and I was down hearted because their care planning skills was very off from what the standard is. I don't know where to start and what to do. I also don't know who taught them during their FON and I don't know what they've learned during those times.
I suddenly realized that I have to do something since I am there so I decided to kinda let them know that I have to do something about my observation in that I have to double time the next day to teach them how to create a very effective care plan.
During the first day, they asked me to help them study about their current theory subject,which is Fluids and Electrolytes, so I started to gave them a brief rehash about F&E and quizzed them about reading and interpreting arterial blood gases (ABGs). I am glad I started to helped them in a little way and they were so thankful about it. They couldn't wait for the next day to learn how to make care plans.
I am very glad that they wanted to learn it so the next day I lectured them intensely about making care plans and had answered their questions directly. They were also glad that I had them for just a brief days n their clinical and they can't wait to have me as their clinical instructor in their fourth term.
Well, every day we have challenges to face and in every challenges there's always a solution for it no matter what... whether me or unmet. And that's the beauty of life because we got to be more accepting to face such challenges to learn something from it.
It was also a blessing for me to meet these group of students who are very eager to learn and I am very fulfilled to have helped them in every way. I never been happier to see their bright faces and it's a big achievement for me to make them satisfied. God has the reason why I was assigned for only two days.
Life is surreal and challenges are always inevitable. We just have to equip ourselves with a skill to face it wholeheartedly. And I am very glad I did the right way to guide these students the right path to learning. In the end, I need to pat my back for a job well done. Aahh... never in my mind I can face such challenges.

Change Is Hard
Sometimes change is easy to think of but if you are in a situation wherein you will get involve in it you'll find it really tough. It is a huge challenge actually but it is for your own good.
Life sometimes can be monotonous and we always have to embark on some means of altering it for the better. I never imagine a person altering it for the worst. That would be an understatement but probably it happened to some.
I've been living myself in my apartment alone for four years and I am used to all my routines everyday. It seems that I am contented with my daily activities and never entertained a big change to come in lately but as years elapsed I felt that I got bored of the same environment and routines and life seems bleak and gloomy.
Living alone had gave a big toll on me and I am very lonely, tired, and inert. I used to procrastinate badly and was jus accustomed to my work-apartment-erraands routines each day. I felt to a point that I felt sick doing it, actually, nauseated about it.
Life is always a struggle and change always knocks on it's door waiting to be opened and welcomed to either better life or make it worth living for. Sometimes change can bring a negative impact to it but it all depends on the outlook and perspective of the person handling it at a certain moment. It's either a win-or-lose situation but all I can say is that change definitely can affect life's existence.
Lately, I got involved to a life altering change which I never expected to come into my life. I am used to this monotonous routines in my life and even considered it very easy to live but the realization of moving to a new place was an unexpected situation to be in.
Change was really unpredictable. You never expect it to happen or come into your life. It will just pop like magic. It is as I say a life altering situation, but for me, I think for the better.
I will never provoke my self again to just be contented with my monotonous life. Change is hard sometimes but it can definitely make an eye opener to us and serve as a huge impact in someone's life.
I can never be happier for living alone but concomitantly change has given me the will to believe in myself and gave me a vivid perspective about the flow of life that is very dynamic and ever changing but not stagnant just as what I had presumed. But all those presumptions were proven wrong and I was stand corrected about it. I tend to embrace self humility which changed me a lot.
My procrastinations ad fears had hindered me to progress and entertain the impact of change and now that I had overcame them life is a smooth sailing journey. It is a great feeling to really had experienced the impact of change and I was fortunate and privileged to have it experienced hands-on.
Life is indeed too short and we must spice-it-up with change for change is a great thing and really shape us up for the common good and also for the better.
