Congratulations to the new nurses who passed the July 2010 Nurses Licensure exam. The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) announced that 37,679 out of 91,008 passed the Nurse Licensure Examination given by the Board of Nursing last July 3-4, 2010 in some cities in the country. This is not yet the victory or the end of your ordeal days. From now some of you will search for jobs and hopefully could find better healthcare medical jobs although most of you are dreaming to work abroad. I am sure most of you are willing to serve your countrymen first even though you are not compensated well here in the country. To all who passed the examination, I welcome you all as I am a registered nurse, too.

There’s a plan by the present administration to add an additional two years in our present education curriculum and this is probably in elementary or high school. According to sources, this is improved learning of those who are about to enter college. According to some, the proposal is to develop these students into becoming more on the technical side where they can still find job even if they can’t continue to and have a college degree.

It ok for me to have an additional two years even though I will be affected by this since my son and future kids will be covered by these proposals if ever. Maybe I could suggest that a child can start at the age of four where he or she can have his or her kinder or prep study. This is where those subjects of the present grade 1-2 can be tackled. As we all know most students start their formal education in grade 1 already especially in the provinces. So that during their grade one to six curriculum are more on academics and maybe subject from first year to second year in our present curriculum can incorporate here and thus here in high school they can now incorporate those plans to develop a student who is more equipped on technical aspects as what the proposals stated. Here they can also include such sat prep so that student who graduated in high schools are more ready when they enter college. If you total the years that a student would spend in elementary and high school, it is already 12 years and still he or she can graduate or have a degree before the age of 21.

I am glad that I haven’t heard about credit card fraud and scam cases lately. The very popular scam before was that by using portable skimming machines or small scanning device machines, information on credit and debit cards’ magnetic strips would be read by people who can steal it. This was believed used by some waiters, gasoline boys and others who were infiltrated by some syndicated gangs mastering this kind of lawless acts. Some credit cards now has RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and I am not sure if this is true. I read about some of these criminals now are even equipped with radio frequency scanners where they can now copy your credit cards information through wave. That’s why there’s an available rfid wallet nowadays to block your credit card information sent through waves.

I believe that to prevent all of this credit card scam or fraud hundred percent is that don’t use credit card anymore. Like my wife and I have not used credit cards for almost three years now. In that way, we have lessened our stress because we don’t have to pay big interest every month. Although we are still a credit card holders, we are keeping it for emergency purposes.

More and more cases are solved because of the home security cameras installed. Carnapping, hold up, robbery are the examples of those cases that were solved. Like what had happened to the recent carnaping of the Volvo car of the parents of a celebrity whose members and lately the mastermind were identified and was put in jail. The robbers held up a couple of months ago where the assailant shoot and killed the victim. The two were identified through their motorcycle use and things they were wearing taken by a security camera installed in a place where it happened.

There is no camera in all places. What is important is that there’s Someone out there watchingand protecting us. He can see us wherever we go and what ever we do. So better to ask protection only from Him.

It is really exciting when you are moving to a new place. I know you also hate moving from one place to another but sometimes it is a need to move especially if your family is getting big and already needs a big space and a better environment. We usually do it for our children. One bed room apartment is not already suitable for a family of three and if your present place really needs renovations such as when the bathroom, sinks, and electrical outlets are in dire need of repairs. It is really better if you are moving to a house that you already own.

With the first ever state of the nation address of President Noynoy Aquino, he will still not be exempted from those militant rallies. Although they were given space to hold their rallies, it is hoped that it will not be as fierce as it was in the past regimes. Still, the PNP are doing their security measures by putting additional short circuit videos and cameras plus maybe convex mirrors for security.

President Aquino’s state of the nation address will speak about the present situation of the country after the previous administration. It is believed to be in a worse stage since according to some reports, a big percentage of the national budget is already spent by the previous officials. Hopefully there is still something left for the rest of the years since we sometimes can’t avoid natural calamities that will happen.

If you will ask someone on what electronic gadget he or she wants to have today aside from cell phone, I am sure they will want a laptop computer. It’s like you can now bring everything inside your laptop such as important documents, pictures, books, and if you don’t have regular internet connection at home, you just can spend time in some place with free wifi connections for free browsing. Laptop brings so much advantages and help to us, but hopefully we will use it only for good purposes.

If you have heard about a well known personality last year, that person was put in shame when some of his scandalous personal photos got scattered in the world wide web. It happened when the laptop of an actor was having problems and he had it fixed in a computer shop where his personal photos were copied and uploaded in the world wide web by the technician.

These things are made to help us, to bring us only good so please don’t use it for other unlawful reasons.

Metro Manila was hit by Typhoon Basyang the other night, causing the entire Manila a total black out. This is the second typhoon that hit the Philippines but this time it has left people dead, missing and yet damages are still unconfirmed. The signal number 3 winds of over 100 kilometers per hour (kph) up to 185 kph are noted outside Metro Manila with high winds and heavy rains that cancelled almost 85 international and domestic flights.

There was no electricity for the whole day. As a result, of last night’s weather, people cancelled their itineraries. But it’s a good time to eat during in this kind of weather. You’ll tend to forget Phentermine 37.5since rainy and windy weather can really increase one’s appetite.

Graft and corruption if not totally eradicated should at least be significantly minimized. I believe better and trusted government policies, new infrastructure, new roads, better facilities, steel building and better government services will bring in big investment to the country. This means more job and better economy. Hopefully the change will also start with us. We can achieve a better Philippines in the future.

The branch of the government that monitors the three branches of the government is the Executive branch. This consists of the President and the Vice President, the legislative branch which is composed of the Senate and the Congress, and likewise the Judicial branch which headed by the Chief Justice and all of the Justices. It’s mandate is to investigate and prosecute any government official which will be found guilty of crimes, especially graft and corruption.

Many are clamoring about the present chair because they said those cases filed against the alleged graft and corruption cases was filed to the previous government official. Since she was a good friend and appointee of the previous president as well as the classmate of the first gentleman, many are doubting her capability to be fair to the case. But I believe we should wait and see first and give her a chance to really do her job. If not, I’m sure she knows the exit signs. If she will not resign anyway there is still chance to remove her by impeachment. The President cannot remove her since she has fixed term position.
