Is there really a point to all of these?

    It was 2:30 in the afternoon last Tuesday, I stayed in the library together with some of my friends and classmates. Were making our assignment for our 4 o’clock Microbiology and Parasitology class. I sat in a vacant chair with Kuya Arvin when he suddenly asked me if i’m a member of the so-called New Peoples Army or NPA. I was shocked (grabe talaga ang impact.hehe). Tangina anong nakain nito? I want to offered him jabs(violent reaction). But wait, what’s wrong? He’s just asking. I mean, everyone is entitled to ask. So i keep calm as I try to. I answered him, "Nope…". After few minutes,, he asked me if what are the reasons why these people choose to be rebel. Malay, I whispered. Who am I anyway? Ampf, iba na to ah, interrogation na ‘to. I cannot answer his question with assurance because in the first place I’m not n NPA.

    Through Kuya Arvs question, it encourage me to know more about these people. I read some books and magazines about these people. Research gyud. I learned that they have reasons to struggle against the government and they continually fight to achieve what deserves that was taken from them. They experienced hostilities in the hands of their landlord. They were working for hours that were beyond their bodies can afford. All in exchange to low salary and adding insult was the way in which their landlord treat them, low class.

Paramedics are good under Pressure

Paramedical Day. It has been an annual activity for the Paramedical Department of our school to have a Paramedical Day estblished fo Associate in Health and Science Education (AHSE), General Midwifery, Pharmacy Aide and Bachelor of Science in Nursing Students. The activity slated last February 20 bearing with the theme, Paramedics are good under Pressure. It was unprepared activity (as far as I know) but it was sucessfully conducted through the effort of the PD Officers. Congrats Peejay(PD President)!!! Pressured talaga sila that day… It was a proof that Paramedics (the truth one) are good under pressure.. Tsk, tsk, tsk…

February 21. I was in Metrobank that morning to check my ATM account and withdrawed 7,000 bucks. Thank you Tito Dave! Then I went directly to school in the Cashiers Office at the Administration Building to pay a required amount so that I can take the semi-finals exams and get my permission slip. Then I found out a very long queue.The office were mounted in the pathway with students who doing transaction to pay the amount like me so that they can get the permission slip. Lots of students and some parents falling in line and I think it take pains of standing for hours for me to stay in the end and wait for my turn and its already 10:20. Considering the fact that the processing of the transaction is kayod-pagong because the staff of the Cashier’s Office is comprised only of two persons (Wouldn’t they think that its a bit waste of time?) and the office will close at 11:15. So I used to stay in the Green Kiosk and studied my lesson for Microbiology and Parasitology 2 for 2 o’clock Exam that day. After few minutes, I went to the mini hospital in the Funda Lab to observe my classmates who were taking their RD or Return Demonstration exam fo Health Care 2.

It was already twelve so I went to Jojo Snackhauz and take my lunch with some friends. Then I went back to the Cashiers Office and I sat down with other students and waited for the office to be open. And before the windows, I’m already tenth in line. Then at exactly one o’clock, the Office open. I was waiting  for nine students to finish their time, when I relized that the the line was not moving forward. Mantakin mo ba namang may nakisiksik at walang pakialam sa mga nakalinya sa likod? Other students in line have already grown worse, impatient, and mad. While I consider it to be serious, I still kept my cool. May araw ri sila s ‘kin!, I thought.

After few minutes (at last!), its my turn already. I gave my money to the cashier and finally I got the pemission slip. Yahoo!
