BROKEN. NEVER BEEN SHATTERED.

i don't have any idea what to write. my brain's not functioning well, so is my heart too. yep, i'm broken, but just for now. time will heal this wound, but will leave a big scar in my heart. for now, i hate them. all of them who broke my heart. what i do now is i'm getting myself preoccupied of things that i usually do not do, wearing a big smile everyday, and do a lot of praying.

REFRESHING Duty.

i called our three days duty in Vigan City Health Center Office as refreshing because for the past days, we haven't continued to attend duty so that we can have what they say, "vacation". its refreshing because it restores all the basic things that i have learned. 1ST DAY- BACK TO BASICS DAY on this day, i thought it would not be different from the hospital setting because, all we have to do is to get the Vital signs of the out-patient such as blood pressure and temperature. when we had our orientation on the morning with Mrs. Javier, well, not shocked but i was just "naninibago" with the number of patients coming from day to day ranging from 100-200 patients. and yes, we had almost 160 patients as far as i remember. i was assigned at the admitting area, and it was very stressful because, first, this is new to me, second, the patients are not obediently following instructions, which is the problem- we cannot avoid this situation. the highlight of this day for me was administering TT (Tetanus Toxoid Vaccine) to those patients who have dog bites. the administration was intradermal, and the result was good. by the end of this day, our instructor told us that we should expect pre-natal check-ups and immunization on the third day-wednesday, so we should read about this things. 2ND DAY- CIRCUMCISION DAY on this second day, i was assigned as a VS nurse, which means i have to get the blood pressure of the patients. the number of patients that came in the center are lesser than yesterday, but still, its very tiring. i think the highlight of this day is in the afternoon where boys came over to have a circumcision. i never saw a boy being circumcised so this is my chance to see one, i said. it was a good experience to observe the circumcision because its an additional idea to me. by the end of this day, our instructor gave us some exercises on how to compute the EDC (expected date of delivery) and the AOG (age of gestation) because tomorrow, our patients are the pregnant women and babies to be immunized. 3RD DAY- IMMUNIZATION DAY. on this day, it was very nice because i was assigned in the immunization area where i have to administer the vaccines to the baby patients. there where so many patients. i think i have given vaccines for 15 and above number of babies. we have 55+ baby patients, so me and my duty mates are given the chance to administer vaccines for the babies. i have upgraded my confidence in terms of administering vaccines because of this experience. at the end of this day, we had a quiz and a personality test wherein our instructor shared some ideas regarding our personalities.

THE APPLE MAN- Steve Jobs.

so, this is my reaction paper from a movie tribute for Steve Jobs. you can see the tribute at pbs.org. STEVE JOBS: ONE LAST THING.
Steve Jobs, the man who change the world through his wide imagination and creativity. How did he gave a great impact to change the world took so much of his perseverance to give the people around him a "thing" that would actually do a lot of things and can be used as a tool. During his early life, he used his ability and believe in himself to create a gadget that would be a help in the everyday life of a man. What I saw in the movie tribute for Jobs is he first created a gadget in line with the telephone industry. With the help of his imagination, he created this to give man an easier and much better way to communicate with our family and friends. With the help of his friend, Steve Wozniak, later that year, again they surprised the world with their very first Apple product. Because of Steve's desire for an easier communication and work, he designed many of his creations to become more enhanced. Its like he is upgrading his creations for a better cause. And all of these helped the people during this times. He has an ability and desire to make things more easier and at the same time, pleasure to live. Dean Hovey, who was the President of Digifit, helped Jobs to create this prototype mouse. Their inspiration of creating this was a deodorant ball and a box. So, this innovation was again, gave us a way to do our work easier. By 1980, he became one of the most richest self-paid man by 29 years old. I admire him for he was still humble and did not satisfy himself because of the money he gained. Years past and he released his Macintosh computer. It was again a successful creation by him, and so with the Imac that stunned the world for a greater view. Now, Apple tablet (Ipad), Ipods and phones are just his few creations for us. His vision to change the world made him a mission to gave us this. I think, he already done it.
The creations of Steve Jobs are very wonderful and amazing. Currently, the Ipad touch is very viral that it infected so much of us. It is a gadget that can be used as a book, a radio, a camera, a bible and at the same time a phone. Jobs' imagination took him to crate this tool. It brought us "different" happiness. He created gadgets that are too easy: EASY TO HANDLE and EASY TO USE which according to Will. I Am. of Black Eyed Peas, he can use an Apple Tab. without even reading a manual. Everything that he learned through his lessons of Calligraphy and even on the teachings of Les Kaye, a Buddhist from India, he applied it on his creations that all turned out very tremendous. Without his creations, I think I cannot enjoy doing my works by writing on so many papers, I cannot enjoy and appreciate music while carrying a boombox, I cannot enjoy playing games by just building blocks and playing tick tack toes in the corner and I cannot have a lot of ways to express my feelings by just writing them on a bark of a tree. THANKS to Steve Jobs, I got my own personal computer at home where I can type my paper works, I got also an Ipod to enjoy music and listen to music whenever I want. I tried to play game on a PlayStation Portable where I enjoy to play up-to-date games where ever I want and last, an internet connected PC where i can make this blog of mine at the same time, make a lot of friends. :) His great vision made us all satisfied with these cool gadgets. And now, we are enjoying them, IF we afford to buy one. All that I have mentioned are the positive outcomes of Jobs' Creations. Now, I have also realized that not all of these have positive outcomes. On the contrary, they also have negative effects on us. They really made our life wonderful and way more easier, but by always using these, we cannot see the disadvantages they brought. In my own opinion, these gadgets are making our life so easy that we tend to forget how to "produced sweat." Life is really hard but because of these tools that Jobs gave us, LIFE NOW IS SO EASY. Few bad things I know that these tools can give us are: radiation towards our body that could damage body cells; we gain fats because as I have said awhile ago, we really don't excrete our sweat and exercise our body enough, we can acquire eye problems by taking long hours staring at the computer screen and we can also acquire or developed headaches due to migraine. I'm not saying that it is bad to have these gadgets with us but what I'm trying to say is, we should not always depend on these. Steve Jobs gave us what we want but we should not abuse them and also ourselves. Steve is a great man, and as a nursing student, I can see how his works affect my chosen profession. It is a really, really big advantage at the hospital how all of soooo many workloads of a nurse for four hours can be done for one and a half hour only. That's how he changed the flow of healthcare services inside the hospital. Many industries now have changed from "sticks to steels". The telephone industry made way for an easier communication, the music industry for a livelier and easier way to listen to music anywhere you want, and the motion-picture industry which gave us a clearer, better and more satisfying view for the movies and pictures we see. All are brought by one man. An intelligent, humble, curious, creative, artist, joyful and good-looking man- Steve Jobs. Now that he is in heaven, all of his creations will retain and use by us. For he is the man who visioned to changed the world: from punched cards to personal computers, from telenet to electronic mails, FROM BOOMBOX TO IPODS.
A quote by Steve: " Being the richest man on cemetery doesn't matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful, that's what matters to me." “These technologies can make life easier, can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups, get medical information, the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I’m not downplaying that."
