pagaayuno

Its been a while since I last updated my blog.

Fasting month is over and its been a struggle of the flesh. “ The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak”. Now I fully understand why they say that some Muslims really have to stuff themselves during the Sahur cause of the reason that they are working for the next hours and doing minimal labor is tiring enough how much more for people who are really doing manual labor, exposed under the heat of the sun.

Even those who are Muslims working in the hospital are so lethargic and seems to be very tired. Imagine sponging patient, run here and walk there, lift them, to add more to injury is that the ward isn’t aircon cause its class “C”. No wonder during break time they would have to really rest and don’t talk much.

As for me, yah, I didn’t finish fasting whole day on each of the 31 days, I cant even used up all the fingers of my hand, toes of my feet to count the number of days Ive completed. He he he, I managed to fast only 9 days!! Most of the days, half day, especially when I have work from 8am to 9pm. But el bebe is proud of me, at least I finish 9 days, then she said say shell give $9 for it (1 day=$1) . So generous of her….I told her, ok I owe 21 days and I got 359 days to finish it. Well not bad but must complete before the next Saum.

I still don’t know whether by next fasting month, I am teaching but enshallah before my contract finishes I can find work which is less stressful. Well, I guess I have to find out next year.

It’s a wonderful experience, you’re focus on the one whole month, then after that, celebration!!! Its like Christmas as they say for Christian, although I stop celebrating the occasion when I reach the point of understanding the history of it. But the remarkable and similarity from the two faith during each others festive season is that they visit relatives, make amends from all the mistakes, shortcomings, and some would just appreciate and be happy on the occasion of having and seeing each of other, exchanging smile, eat (the sambal goreng of el bebes mum), laughing, sharing story, and Im sure the little ones always look forward is the monetary gifts that senior relatives give to them.

I enjoy celebrating this year of Ramadan. No wonder Muslims always look forward into it and of course me too..

where have all the "male nurses" gone...

alas, i found them, i keep wondering whenever i go to hospitals here i dont see "lalaking nurse", then yes finally, i found them, not at lucky plaza, peoples park or gimmick bar, yes of course in the hospital, "sa ospital ng mga kulang kulang"... there they are happily spending eight hours of work without simply maybe, all the staff inside worked like half of the hours they are supposed to clock in... well, what do you expect to do there nothing much.

i find it tiring working there, cause my wards like dont know a thing about the diagnosis so i have to talk talk talk and talk..

i would love to share the is happening inside and make comparison on the differences between our "kulang kulang and their kulang kulang.."

opinyon at iba pa

Its coming to my 2^nd week of school holiday and 1 more week, and back to work again. El bebe and I didn’t go for our Saturday class cause I just felt that the lecturer is really boring, the supposed to be lecturer is on leave and someone took over. I mean he didn’t even bother revising the slide before he come to class, yes its free, but hey, participants go there to learn Islam.. maybe he thought its free so its okey, it so obvious that he or the whole endorsement of the topics are not done properly. Anyway, we attended the Monday class, and its becoming more interesting as we go further on the topics.

I must say, having laid aside the things that kept sane for the last 28 years of my life, I discovered things which make me begin to question the preacher of Christianity. I felt, if people of different faith will do a soul searching, they will find a lot of things. Views, opinions, and other stuff. I am enjoying the exploration of historical facts that I been doing and discovered that Islam and Muslims are totally misinterpreted by a lot of people.

Recently the abduction of a muslim terrorist group called “ASG” in Manila added more insult of what Islam really stands for, may Allah/God forgive them. They kidnapped 1 well known reporter,her cameraman, and a professor. Poor thing, after negotiation and seven days of staying in the jungle of Sulu (imagine all the hardship that they (victim) have to go thru, they were freed after paying the ransom, what is very annoying and irritated is that this “ASG” claimed that the ransom money is for “board and lodging” of the kidnapped victim, arrrr, its really stupid… Rumors says the ransom paid is P15million,well, that will give them at least another year to settle down and merge with civilians, and when they have spent all the money, then they will kidnap someone else… (attached google image of Martin and Gracia Burnham victims of ASG)

As golem say “Wake up shleeepy government”…

To Baby Ko:

Happy 1st Year Anniversary!

Mahal nah mahal nah mahal kita, Baby ko!

One more week to go and its bakasyon time, but technically it is two more weeks cause of exams and marking…

Today, we went for the Religious class and as we go along the topics it is getting more interesting, earlier I was ask by the lecturer about something and I didn’t give him the answer, he he he, I know I wrote it somewhere but it was too late when I found it, he gave the meaning already, my baby say, “pay attention”, I was, so far so good, Islam doesn’t straightway rejects other teachings, especially those from Abraham or Ibrahim, Moses or Musa, David or Dawud, Jesus or Isa.. I cant wait what else I will learn from this new faith that I am starting to embrace…

Before we left the place we passed by the bookstore and I bought “Qasasul Ambiyaa” what does it mean, well maybe as it is written there “Stories of the Prophets”… I wonder whats inside..

Late afternoon, we went to the chalet, el bebe’s relative had a barbeque and most of her mom side relatives came down, I have met them before thru some gatherings and one thing I like from them is that they always make you feel welcome and me being a foreigner and at the same a new convert, and doesn’t speak their language, I don’t feel like a total stranger. However, when they start to catch up with their own things and personal life, I just feel I needed to entertain and make myself company. I am fine with it and I understand how it is, I must say, el bebe is always there to ask “how are you baby, are you okey”..love you sayang…. Well, it’s the price that comes with having a fiancée who is not your countrymen, but all things are well, no regrets…. I remember when we went to her relatives at geylang, a white man married to her cousin also may is feeling the same way, as he sat down at the sofa after eating and I think he even fell asleep..

Anyway, I heard from el bebe that theres another BBQ soon..

El bebe is with her friend now and catching up.…ill fetch her soon….

bear with the unbearable

I just have to blog about it…seven weeks for a school term are really tiring… and talk about my timetable, I always starts at 8am and ends at 5pm or 6pm, although there are breaks in between, but I have to endure the days of teaching like 5 hrs for 2 consecutive days… plus another 2 days of 6 hrs teaching…. Man that’s torture, I think even in secondary school they don’t teach that long in a day.. I mean I don’t mind teaching that long if I have autonomy to manipulate my class the way I want it, students are smart and independent, but the problem is you have to stick to certain standard of practice, or otherwise it’ll be tagged as negative innovation.. not only that, you have to bear with some wards whom, why that after giving them the coverage of the exams, still they fail horribly… where are the minds and so called “common sense of these people….

Worst part is that after learning the results of our recent evaluation exam, a lot of them failed , and a senior colleague of mine, commented, maybe its my own different accent which contributed to the failure, wahhh, when I heard that, my heart went to my head and I just want to tell her off… such a very rude thing to say, look I passed my IELTS speaking exam and it wasn’t just pass it was quite a high score.. and to think this senior colleague can anyhow say that to me (well she didn’t know that I passed though) still, I clearly believe, its not the lecturers fault, no matter how good and well explained the topics are with this kind of listeners and audience, you will surely get a poor result…

I just feel like its such a rude thing to say…..

Well today, since she started to annoy me , I feel she deserve a piece of my mind, “ITS CALLED AN INTELLECTUAL RESPONSE”.. but I noticed even if you tell her off knowing she is a senior, she always has something to say…but one of my assessment on her are after teaching for so many years in that institution, she still needs to learn a lot things, I always compare these seniors from my former colleague where I used to work, she is the dean of that institution where I teaches, and she is so different when she treats her colleagues, she maybe senior, but she is very gentle, full of substance and she can tell your mistakes without you getting offended…. Hurray for Dean Curato!!

Well, Allah forgive her…she’s just very annoying and according to some of my kasamahan, they have experience the same too….

Anyway, tomorrow is a special day for me, I have a hot date with a hotgirl… must stay happy….

Min's Post

Yay! I get to post on my Baby's blog!!!

I merely wanted to post a comment, but dear Baby ko invited me to blog. So here I am.

He was saying in his previous post that no one reads his blog. Well, I beg to differ. I've checked the tracker and there are about a few hundred reads so far.

So Bee, your blog ain't that 'quiet'.

Anyway, I must say that it's been a fun trip back to Manila, and I'm still dwelling on it, and I hope that I'd get to go back there with the Baby soon. Just the two of us.

And, to the reader 'honesty' who left the comment, go fuck yourself. Unlike Cris, who's very polite and considerate, I'm not. So I hope your balls (or vagina) shrivel and rot.

Mahal kita Baby!

Its been a long time since I blog, I wasn’t into it.. however, thanks to a handful of readers, just exaggerating, maybe if I count them, its not even close to having all the fingers of my one hand.. only my el bebe...is my loyal reader, “ love you bebe”…

What prompted me to update is that someone read my blog, and he or she is’nt really happy with how I am now… and left a comment, nasty one I should say….

Who ever you are, Allah forgive you…. Get a “LIFE” if you know what I mean…

Its been a long year since I met el bebe, everything seems to be going according to Gods plan for me, we had a great holiday recently, I visited Boracay with the one I love… climb up Baguio, and trek Tagaytay, and what a great day to celebrate my birthday, lunch with el bebe.. Im just glad everything went smooth when we went back, though we spent quite a sum of money and my bonus was like poooff, gone, I enjoy every moment with el bebe. She met almost my siblings too, and I should say, she ACED it… my siblings liked her…

my family who has survived life struggles,(dette & ching,henry & his son mat,jojo,ronel,Papa w/sam,cheska & AJ,
mama & juliena, el bebe and me...

Time flies really fast, I am nearing my second year and next July 09 is my 3^rd year, and wallahh!! My contract is finished, I am still contemplating whether to sign another one, since by then, I hope, ill be getting my PR already… well see….

As I expected I didn’t pass my NCLEX-RN exam, well, to begin I didn’t even review, but the results are quite commending as I am near passing average…so it means, if I put more effort, I would have pass… anyway, it doesn’t matter, since I and el bebe has other plans…
