We came back from Butuan yester noon. Things do feel and seem different. A lot had happened, and I could hardly tell how. I just want to write. Yeah. I guess I do.

Disoriented

I can't believe it's already Thursday. Gyah. Inactivity has, once again, drawn me into loss of orientation with time. It's a good thing I've remembered what day today is because I have an appointment tomorrow. I'm coming back to V. Luna General Hospital to ask the nurses in Orthopaedic Ward and Oncology Ward to sign my internship completion form. It's about Intravenous Therapy.

By the way, I just found out that Eclipse will be in theatres on summer 2010. Impressive.

Crave.

I feel stressed right now. I know I am because of my only stress-metre. I want to yield to this thing that I am craving for. Too bad for me I can't. Honestly, I wish I could. I'll just have to cope and deal with this. As for now, I'll have a hot mocha drink. Heaven in a cup!

01 December 2009.
It's the first day of the month and the first news I got this morning was the death of a relative. I wonder if this news made a contribution to my stress.

I feel consumed. And I want to be consumed.

Unhappy

I am not happy with what's going on. I don't like it at all. I also hate how FarmVille becomes troublesome.

Forensic Nurse

noreply@blogspirit.com (JenShinrai) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:29:15 +0800

I've been writing a lot about Baseball lately. I'd like to do it again, but my brain and mind are too tired. Thank God one can't sue oneself. I'll write about something else here. I'll write about what I reckon. Seems like I still have the urge to write. Haha!

It all started with a novel, Every Move She Makes, by Robin Burcell. I've always been fond of puzzles and crimes for me are like puzzles. I was still in college, freshmen or sophomore days, when I read that novel so I was trying to relate forensics with Nursing. I was hoping I'd have a taste of forensics, with my (future) job description.

I've always thought that I was just making up a dream. Imagine, a forensic nurse. But when I was in junior or senior college, I just found out that there is indeed such thing as a forensic nurse. God, I want to pursue that!

As I've just passed the Nursing Licensure Exam and have my professional ID, I am wondering how to start pursuing my dream. I have a lot of things to reckon, but as for now I stick with things that might help me in the future.

I want to be a Forensic Nurse. O God, please allow me to become one. As part of my preparation, I've been reading the RA 9173 (Nursing Act of the Philippines of 2002) and some RAs that might be of concern with patients' rights and any law that has to do with people. I even bothered to read the October 2009 Bar Exam! Well, that was just for fun. And I did have fun. Too bad, I could not give the rationale to those I've answered False.

Sisters

noreply@blogspirit.com (JenShinrai) — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:40:00 +0800

I had a phone conversation with my sister earlier. We're not biological nor legal sisters. Sorority sisters? I wouldn't call it like that though we belong to a group that quite of a fraternity. There are also other people I consider as brothers. Simply put, we're a family.

I called Neko to ask about Jay's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAY! Neko asked me what happened here during the "rain" and if we were flooded. To make it short, we ended taking about the administrative system in our country, especially in Metro Manila.

It's actually always like this. When Neko and me have the chance to talk, our conversations end up in politics and governance. We do have different views, but we don't talk about it. We respect each other, and it's healthy to have such conversation.

Later will be the gathering in Jay's house for his birthday. I want to come and I wish I'd be able to. I haven't asked for permission yet. Woot! :D

I miss our other sister, Qheem. She's in St. Louis now. I hope she's doing fine. I haven't hear from her since the MLB All-Star Game.

Some help, please..

I have a lot of things on my mind right now. I also have a lot to accomplish. As for today, I want to do something worthwhile. I still want to help, not just the victims but also those who help. Classes are back. It's finals and defense week, for those I've helped with.

Later this day, I will be in HotL, Pasong Tamo Ext. for our A Life Worth Living course. I've been absent twice. Woot!

There is one thing I ask today: That I will have wisdom. I really need wisdom and understanding. I feel so insufficient. I've seen enough and been through quite a lot to know that I am not yet accomplishing what I should accomplish.

By the way, how I wish I can have McCafe's Cocoa Steamer today. I miss it!

I can eat pork. I just don't want to.

noreply@blogspirit.com (JenShinrai) — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 10:11:14 +0800

Most of my friends know that I do not eat pork. I am not a Muslim nor a Jew, but I somehow observe their diet when it comes to pork. Somehow because I can still eat pork.

It all started when I was 7 or 8 years old. I've always been fond of reading. We had enough books at home to keep me interested. One day, when I was quite bored or perhaps just curious of the books we had at home, I checked our cabinet and looked for something informative and interesting.

I found Modern Medical Guide. I decided to read anything from the book. As I was turning the pages, I found something about worms then I saw a picture of a pig and how it is fed. A pig eats anything and almost everything it can put into its mouth, including what goes out of the body. With such piggy character it is not impossible for the animal to have worms. These worms are not easy to be eliminated. They even settle beyond the digestive system.

I remember a picture of pork that has not been cooked or prepared properly and the pork was about to be ingested (or eaten) by a man. It was when I decided that I shall eat no more pork.

Whenever I refuse to eat pork, people usually ask me if I am a Muslim. What a pity. Muslims are not the only people who do not eat pork.

Of course I have eaten pork in the past two years. I broke my "oath" when a friend of mine told me that I only live once. I was craving for a Siomai but the only Siomai available was Pork Siomai.

When I bought the Pork Siomai, I was bothered. First, because I broke my "oath" and second, the taste was quite bothersome. It's been years.

During summer last year, I also ate pork. It was barbecue. To my surprise, I liked it. Perhaps eating barbecue with friends was a factor why I liked the pork barbecue. But I think those barbecues were the last pork I consumed.

Oh, not actually. I had another pork a couple of weeks ago. I wouldn't have eaten it if it wasn't because of someone who prayed for the food. I only refuse to eat pork if the person knows that I don't eat pork or, at least, he can understand that I don't eat pork.

If I happen to come to a house where I will be served with nothing but pork, I shall eat it. I give justice to the food served for me. It'd be impolite.

If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience’ sake.
