Purple Perfect

I have been helping out my friend in preparing for her wedding. One of her biggest worries is to find a perfect wedding invitation for her big day. We keep on looking over the internet for some designs and some nice wordings for the invites. My friend wanted to keep it simple with compromising the elegant elements. We were indeed feeling lucky that time that we came across this nice site that caters all wedding needs that every couple dream of.

My wanted her motif to be somewhere in between pink and violet, as these are her favorite colors. I suggested to her the purple wedding invitation we saw at the website, it exudes class and elegance, perfectly fit for the occasion. She instantaneously agreed with me and personally handpicked the purple riches design for her. Good thing we have wedding sites nowadays that could assist us in our wedding preparations. To all who are planning for their big day, you may want to start working in the convenient of your own home.

Cuppycakes

I've been experimenting on some new recipes and guess what? I'm quite contented with the taste! chocolately and moist! hmmmm..... just perfect! Hope I could do it all over again! hahaha!

WHAT is G6PD?

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency is a hereditary disorder that may cause hemolytic anemia to the person expose to fava. Two of my co-nurses' babies were diagnosed to have g6pd and its becoming more popular nowadays. This disorder is detected during newborn screening, so it is rightfully to subject every newborn to this test in order to prevent exacerbation of the disorder by having necessary precautions on the food intake of the newborns.

I have looked into some of the symptoms of this disorder from WIKIPEDIA

• Prolonged neonatal jaundice, possibly leading to kernicterus (arguably the most serious complication of G6PD deficiency)
• Hemolytic crises in response to:
  • Illness (especially infections)
  • Certain drugs (see below)
  • Certain foods, most notably broad beans
  • Certain chemicals
  • Diabetic ketoacidosis
• Very severe crises can cause acute renal failure....

Hope this could help all expectant mothers out there.

sad....sad...sad!

that's all i can say!!!!! my friends and I were supposed to leave for manila for a 3-day vacay but unfortunately we need to report to duty because we had 2 OR cases. We can't do anything about it but to cancel our trip and go on duty. What made it worst was that after we were able to discharge our patient from the unit, we were advised to report to other ward for no reason at all. So ruthless!!!!

Pocket Invitation for Modern Weddings

My friend grace is planning to tie the knot soon! We get all very excited about it. She asked me I could help her with the details. We looked specifically on preferred dates, preferred reception venue, the church and who will be included in their entourage. It was not easy planning on this stuffs with out any guide. Still, we tried to take things one at a time. We came up with a motif and theme. From that, we were able to look into as to what they wanted their over all wedding to look like. After having finalized on the date and the reception venue and contacted the church where they wanted to be married, we then started compiling everything for the wedding invitation.

As to how the invitation would look like, I suggested to her that nowadays couples opt to have a pocket wedding invitations, aside from the elegance it exudes, you can incorporate almost all the ideas that you have in mind in one invitations at a cheaper price. I suggested to her to look into the different pocket fold design at the website I encountered that caters all the wedding needs. She asked me why i suggested pockets for her wedding invitation and all I said was it was the PERFECT style for a PERFECT WEDDING.

Happy Anniversary to us!

September 2, 2002 was very memorable for me and noy. It was the start of our journey together. Like any young couples out there, we also had our share of ups and downs. We argue on things, we disagree over each other's point of view, we appreciate each others achievements and support each others decision. It never a seamless relationship but an imperfectly perfect one. This indifferences and understandings lasted us until we finally tied the knot last December of 2008, Now, 8 years later, here we are, still journeying together, trying to get the hang of each others imperfections and I'm proud to say that with the help of God, we were strong as ever!

Im sick

I went to my night shift duty last night feeling well and hyped. I received the endorsement together with PICU charge nurse, Henry. At around 9pm my tummy began to complain.. I'm hungry, I didn't not had my dinner yet. So I asked my friend chin and jr to buy us a dinner. They bought corned beef and egg. Henry, as the host of PICU, offered to cook the food. Because I'm dead hungry, I suggested to him not to overdo the eggs since the corned beef is hot, it will be cook eventually. We ate till there almost nothing left on the plate. We were satisfied. Comes 11 o'clock in the evening, I suddenly felt difficulty in breathing and was having dry cough. I right there and then concluded that i was having an allergic reaction because I have already experienced the symptoms in the past. I asked our resident physician to check on me, she said, I just need to rest and let my body recover. So I did. Henry let me sleep for a fews hours but when I woke up, the symptoms didn't subside and this time I was feeling cold and feverish. Chin brought me to the er, had my laboratories and was advised to rest for 5 days. When I reached home, I took my prescribed meds and slept the whole day. Was feeling feeling alot better the day after but i thought I could use the 5 day rest given to me, so I took a leave of absent from work.

Congratulations!

Today marks the day when my friend Orville and Darryl unite their hearts as one in the altar of the Lord. I don't mind coming from a night duty and going straight to hotel where we are going to be made up for the wedding. I was extremely excited for this day. I get to see old friends and bond with them like the way we used to. I'm so excited to see Orville walking down the aisle and him singing while waiting for his bride... Oh sooooo romantic! Well I guess, I just have to end this one and get ready! ciao!

This morning I went out to buy gift for my friend's baby shower and deposit some cash. My friend Chin and I bought a mini bath tub for the baby. Then next stop was to supposedly deposit the money around 9k to the bank. as i was preparing the envelop for deposit, unknowingly my wallet got picked-pocket! I didn't know what to do! I was in shocked, couldn't decide! Chin, initiated to talk to the security but they can't do anything as of the moment! We to the nearest police station to report what had happened and all they said was to let us know if they were able to get hold of my stuffs. I was so dismayed with system that we headed home with out a word. Inside my wallet was my driver's license, my prc license, credit cards, atm cards, cedula, parking ticket, and many more!!!! aarggghhhh!!!!! Will follow up everything next week! im keeping my fingers crossed.... hoping that there are still some good-hearted people who will return my stuff. pray for me!

Jellyfish

My first encounter with jellyfish was when we were in Ocean Park, Hongkong. I was amazed the different species there are. During my trip in Zamboanga, in one of the beaches there, I get to see a giant jellyfish in close proximity, the natives of the place were used to seeing this one the shore especially if it is a "big waves" day. and my oh my, they victimized one the children swimming, I presumed it was very painful as the tentacles leaves marks all over the child's body. It was also at that time that i learned that jellyfish are edible. The natives use this as their
"pulutan" during their drinking sessions. Below is the actual picture of the jellyfish.

Can't Wait!

Tomorrow ronald and I will finally leave for zamboanga! Yipeey!!! a much awaited time with him, the two of us on a trip! aww.....
