Our quote today comes from St. Jean Baptiste De La Salle, a French educational reformer and priest, who was born on April 30, 1651. He put up schools in France as a way to help the plight of the lower class. He lived with…
Exactly fifteen years ago, the board of directors of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) announced that the World Wide Web (W3) would be free for anyone to use and to develop. And since then “the web” has been…
It’s currently the hottest story at TechMeme. The New York Times reports that “In Web World of 24/7 Stress, Writers Blog Till They Drop“. Drop dead, that is. They consider professional blogging a “digital-era sweatshop”, referring to a factory where its workers are sorely underpaid and unprotected.
But I have to say that NYT is going somewhere with its term, sweatshop.

I must admit, I
am immensely enjoying life as a wife and as a homemaker.
There was a time in my life when I thought I wasn’t cut out for this kind of life, homemaking sounded a little too boring, too insignificant, too unimportant, too small, too ordinary, too outdated… I once felt, and decided that it wasn’t me.
I thought managing a career is a lot more fun, a lot more challenging, a lot more significant and I decided that being a career woman is what today’s empowered woman should be… In power suits, in high heeled patent leather shoes, carrying monogrammed handbags, driving their own expensive car, heading conferences, living fast-paced lives, like a full twenty four hours isn’t enough to get things done…Glamorous! Yeah, the glamour is all too enticing…

Sa Mahal Kong Kapatid,

Centuries ago, the babaylan served as seer and sage, healer and community “miracle-worker.” They held an important and influential role in pre-Christian Filipino society as the primary mediator between the spirit world and the human world. While the role of a babaylan was open to both male and female, most babaylans from the pre-Hispanic era were female. These women healers were both revered and well-respected, and their value to their community well-recognized.
Today, after a long and arduous struggle, Filipino women in medicine have finally come into their own. Like their babaylan counterparts, the Filipina doctor has once more reclaimed her role in modern Filipino society both as healer and a force to be reckoned with.

I know a lot of nursing graduates are waiting for this since my last post about the June 2007 Nursing Licensure Exam. The exam result was made available today at the Philippine Daily Inquirer and the PRC website. The PRC official website went down a couple of hours ago as a result of nursing students, friends and family members trying to get the exam results.
Again, the Philippine Nursing exam results now for December 2007 examiners is available for download. As always, the files are in PDF, so you need to download and install Adobe Acrobat Reader first. I also made it available in MS Word format.

In the past few weeks, I have been on the hunt for a new job. It was an enlightening experience, really. I got to use a lot of the stuff I’ve been writing about in Bum No More. I got the chance to look back into my professional career (all two years of it!) and build a fairly attractive resume with surprisingly little padding. I also realized that I have several sets of skills that I can use to market myself, much like a young hooker after her first night of debauchery.
The skill I really want to develop right now is creative/content writing. It’s my passion ever since I discovered I suck at music and art. Writing is where I least suck, so what I really want to improve on is being a wordsmith. Drastically.
Potential Employer #1: Please write something about Makati.
Baddie: My pleasure.

Do you remember the time when you finally got hired? After going through series of exams and interviews at last, you heard a “yes†from an employer. How about being accepted in more than one company you’re applying to?

Got this from a feed from Trace Trajano, a real estate investor based in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. An 8-door apartment in Las Piñas with a fully functional water refilling station easily worth P8M is available for sale in the amount of just P3.99M only until February 10.

I’ve posted a similar entry before in my other blog regarding this but without an image. Haven’t bought my CX 2900 Epson Stylus printer back then. Now its time to present the picture. Judge if it really draws you to laugh or its plain corny. All are from Manila Bulletin.

(I wrote this post in my Multiply site and cross-posted to my Blogger site in the hopes of reaching more readers. This is a problem that does not only apply to doctors who wish to work abroad, but any other OFW who obtains his job through direct hiring. Please let people know about this new ruling - especially your friends and relatives who will be the most affected by it. You may sign a petition for its abolition over here if you agree with me.)
I posted this message on the Pinoy MD forum last night, in the hopes that more fellow doctors will be made aware of this new policy on Direct Hiring. I know that most of my contacts and most of those in my extended network are young doctors like myself, who are considering going overseas for training and employment opportunities.
As doctors, most of us who seek work abroad do not go through recruitment agencies but rather apply on our own and are hired directly by hospitals we are matched to in the US or are accepted into (in other countries). Since I see no provisos in the copy of the memorandum (you can get to read the full document over here) for doctors or other professionals, this will definitely affect our own bids to leave the country through direct hiring. This will be particularly problematic for colleagues who have been given H1b visas to the US. The rest of us who are to be sponsored on temporary employment visa will be greatly affected as well.
How it will ultimately affect us (and our chances for being matched and hired by hospitals abroad), I don’t know. But its effects will likely be detrimental rather than benificial given the recent economic slowdown and the fierce atmosphere of competition in the world at large. The POEA has just given foreign hospitals one more good reason not to hire Filipino.

Others (non-bloggers, non-frequent internet users and some plain bloggers) may not be aware of the struggles budding full time professional bloggers have to undergo.
It’s not always about earning big bucks. I’m telling you, and I’m sure probloggers will agree, that revenue don’t come in an instant during the initial venture to this career. Alongside problogging are hassles, situations and trials telling you to quit at once.

Accounting is really easy. It is not rocket science. In fact, your regular accountant may be, as the popular tv game would say, not as smart at your regular fifth grader.
If you don’t believe me, ask him on the spot what’s the sum of 21 and 18. Or any other pair of 2-digit numbers at that. Chances are he will still punch the thing on his calculator before giving an answer. Read the full post at Pinoy Seminars.
