Spin101: Life at Random

One day to go and Ate will already be hurdling the make-or-break Nurses' Licensure Examination. For the past months, I've seen all those stressful preparations she went through. From their whole-day reviews to their nerve-racking pre-Board examinations. Luckily, she topped these exams. Hence, I am confident enough that she will do the same on the real thing. I've always wanted to be a nurse. But, eventually, I got stucked in a really boring and dull course. I never really had a choice. It was maybe out of desperation. Well, yup. I really think I was really desperate. My mother once asked me why I decided to take up such course. But instead of answering her question, I just gave her a fierce glare. Then, she understood. I never hated her, nor my father, nor anybody for this, because there is really no one to blame. I guess, I just have to accept things as they are. What I do is, I just try to make the best out of the things that I can manage to do. (Uh-oh... Here I go agai...

I just finished Angels and Demons, and it's another superb read. Well, what did Dan brown wrote that you can not consider superb? Brown's fictions are always great and mind-twisting that putting down the novel is always the hardest part of the ritual. Although critics wrote stuffs about the flaws in the novel, still it has become a bestseller. Here is a review I found at Shelfari . It takes guts to write a novel that combines an ancient secret brotherhood, the Swiss Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire , a papal conclave, mysterious ambigrams, a plot against the Vatican, a mad scientist in a wheelchair, particles of antimatter, jets that can travel 15,000 miles per hour, crafty assassins, a beautiful Italian physicist, and a Harvard professor of religious iconology. It takes talent to make that novel anything but ridiculous. Kudos to Dan Brown ( Digital Fort ress ) for achieving the nearly impossible. Angels & Demons is a no-holds-barred, pull-out-all-the-stops, br...

Here is an excerpt from Dan Brown's Angels and Demons , that i want to share with you. *********************************************************************************** "Father," Chartrand said, "may I ask you a strange question?" The camerlengo smiled. "Only if I may give you a strange answer." Chartrand laughed. "I have asked every priest I know, and still don't understand." "What troubles you?" Charland took a deep breath. "I don't understand this omnipotent-benevolent thing ." The camerlengo smiled. "You've been reading scripture." "I try." "You are confused because the Bible describes God as an omnipotent and benevolent deity." "Exactly." " Omnipotent-benevolent simply means God is all-powerful and well-meaning ." "I understand the concept. It's just... there seems to be a contradiction." "Yes. The contradiction is pain. Man's sta...

"Don't be just job-seekers, be job-creators!" This is Sir Jo 's most famous line... Sir Jo, a licensed engineer, proficient teacher, and a certified entrepreneur, always encourages us through this dogma. And, indeed, he succeeded on that. Four Pylonites have already ventured into their own enterprise, using their skills and ingenuity in photography and multimedia as their main capital. Endowed with incomparable adeptness in scores of computer applications and creativity in capturing precious moments and wonderful things, these four brilliant Pylonites created ARCKE Multimedia Solu tions and Services. ARCKE is actually the acronym of the names of the founders. Here they are: Opppzzz, nope! They are not into escort service... ( laughs ) They are just showing how petty and crazy they are... ( haha ) Nevertheless, you are actually looking at the most talented and skilled artist-entrepreneurs ( ehem ..) ARCKE Multimedia Solutions and Services offers tons of services- from...

It has been quite a while! Geez, I'm sure, you guyz, have missed me... (*wink*) I've been doing charity jobs...(kidding) Actually, my friends are venturing into their own enterprise, and they just opened last Sunday. We helped out and even spent overnights there. We also helped in preparing the food for the grand opening of ARCKE Multimedia Solutions and Services. Anyway, when I checked on my e-mail, I was surprised to receive this mail from the Entrecard Team . Now, you can add multiple blogs to your account. It's really cool!

I've finished reading another Dan brown novel... And as always, it's another superb read.... Right now, I'm reading Angels and Demons , the Da Vinci code prequel... Deception Point is another page-turning Dan Brown thriller. It is about the clashes of power between the US president and a senator who wants to own the presidential seat, and the infringement of NASA and NSA to dirty-dig the senator. Here is a book review from Shelfari: The time is now and President Zachary Herney is facing a very tough reelection. His opponent, Senator Sedgwick Sexton, is a powerful man with powerful friends and a mission: to reduce NASA's spending and move space exploration into the private sector. He has numerous supporters, including many beyond the businesses who will profit from this because of the embarrassment of 1996, when the Clinton administration was informed by NASA that proof existed of life on other planets. That information turned out to be premature, if not incorrect. (Th...

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. -- Dr. Seuss For three years of working at Holy Child, I already have envisioned myself graduating and still being a part of my HCH family. As my previous posts could have divulged, I hated being there- hated being taken advantage of by the nuns, and loathed being disparaged (in any way) by some people. I often thought of making a "hate post" right after I step out of the vicinity of the hospital. I wanted to let go of this repugnance and abhorrence I've been keeping all these years. I wanted to curse everyone who have made my stay there miserable. I have outlined all the words in my mind, until something made me change my mind. I tried to look at the bright side and thought of the advantages I gained. I then realized that my stay there had been fruitful after all. I wouldn't have learned so many things if it were not because of the people who have been my mentors there. I wouldn't have learned to rea...

I woke up this morning feeling exhilarated. Well, why not? I had this crazy dream about someone I barely know, and who happens to be my instant crush when I woke up. Sounds ridiculous, right? But yeah, right after that dream, I instantly fell in-love with the person (aw?). I don't have the slightest idea why he appeared on my dream, when I did not even think about him before I went to sleep last night. Hmmn..., was that a product of my subconscious? (haha) Anyhow, the dream was fantastic, er... far-fetched, I guess. Anyway, this guy I am talking about is my sister's classmate (I'm not quite sure...) They are friends, that is. I met him during my sister's graduation. During that time, I played Ate's official photographer, and I took a lot of pictures of her with her crazy friends (he's one of those). That was just it. We became friends after then. You know, the smile-and-nod-kind of friends...lol. We never even got a chance to talk, that is why having him in my d...

Dear Ma, How could I ever thank you for everything that you did for me? How could I ever repay you for all the goodness and support that you've shown me? You carried me in your womb for nine months and delivered me healthy. You fed, clothe, and sheltered me. You gave me the best things that you could manage to offer. And you've been very supportive to me all throughout. When I was very nervous during my knee-jerking first day in school, you were there to give me your reassuring hug. You helped me with my perplexing assignments and encouraged me to study harder. You've been with me through my best and my worst. You've always been a part of my endeavors- you always support me during my trying times and celebrate with me during my triumphs. We cried together, laugh together, and faced together our adversities. For my confidante, my best friend, my mother, let me express to you my warmest, sincerest THANK YOU for everything. I love you more than you ever think I do. Happy ...

It was early morning on a Sunday when he called me- says he wanted to talk about something. He is always like that. He would just call me when he has problems with his girlfriend or another feud with his dad. He would text me when he needs someone to listen to his rants and rambles towards his family and girlfriend. He would fetch me in the house during the wee hours of the day and talk about his trifling issues. For ten years, I've served as his confidante, his listener, his adviser, his best friend. We've spent our lives together. He has been a part of my family, and I to his. It was a short encounter in grade school that started our friendship. From then on, we became inseparable. We became very close that people around us began teasing and ragging us, but we were not bothered. We continued to become friends, and we swore not to keep any secrets from each other. We were both happy with each other's company, until I realized that I can no longer put up with our promise. ...

Isn't cheating a sin? Cheating on people is also like cheating on God. Isn't it quite a shame if God's servants and prime followers are cheaters themselves? Isn't it disgraceful and appalling to fiddle on people while a crucifix hangs on your neck? And what could be worse than taking advantage of people while wearing a ring that signifies your lifetime union with God? I know I'm being harsh. But, I am just perturbed by this. When I was still a child I used to regard nuns very highly, but this deference changed later on. I have been working for this congregation of nuns, uhm, not really for them, but for the establishment managed by them. At the start, they seem good and concerned, but later on their real colors eventually just prevailed. They have not justified their vocation, well... as far as I.., and the other employees are concerned. As what I know, nuns must show selflessness in their acts. That is what God taught us, and they should have been good role models ...
