  Patience! Patience!      How I wish I could just plan things and let them just unfold every day and let them turn out the way I plan them to be. Oh, it's just a wish that I could think of every day when I'm not that busy. I work because I have this plan that I want to accomplished. And then, as you work towards that goal, you realized that you have to deal with all sorts of personalities, people! It could have been simpler if people behave the way they should decently.       In one of my jobs, because I have another! He he! I intend to finished the tasks early, so that I can still enjoy other things like reading and reviewing for an up and incoming exam. Yes, I finished the tasks, double-checked the details and here comes this newcomer company nurse who projects that she's the best office person there can be! She projects that she's bubbly and with a wholesome personality, with lots of stories to tell. I said to myself, the first time I met her ...

Just Like Old Times, Again!      A fter a decision to ease the Level in the Metro - from "MECQ" to "Level 1", we noticed that it's like going back to the pre-Covid period when almost all people are in the streets! Transport like MRTs and LRTs are jammed and overflowing with commuters! I do most of my travel in the early morning in Manila where the LRT is my best and fastest way for me to get to my place of work.       Just like any nurse who works in the city, I rushed and move faster than the usual commuter, since I don't want to waste time and I always want to be in time for my early "endorsement" at the hospital. Those countless trips to the hospital, observing people when they are piling up towards the entrance of the train station has a great effect on me. Understandably, this means that everybody seem to feel that every thing seem to be back to normal again. Oh, that's the thing, we should not feel that way since we already know that the ...

E rrand All The Way! A fter a few days of living in "another" ecq in Manila, like trying to do most of your follow ups online, there will eventually come a time when a task seems to be totally satisfying if you can drop by the office you are making the follow up and do it personally. That's what I did this Monday, after several attempts of making a connection with a government institution. Since all my emails are bouncing back to me, most probably because their server can no longer accept emails! Flooded with all sorts of concerns, I guess. So, I went to #manila via LRT and went to the Central Station and walked straight to the nearby mall.  W ow! Several shops are open! Like this one, the National Book Store! Walking more and you'll find almost more than fifty percent are open. Just "take-out" food items at this time of ecq. Oh, but well, yes, I'll buy some later. ;) I found a few people roaming and checking out the open stores!            ...

 Another New: The New Look of Manila City Hall's Under Pass Y eah!

Mga Pasaway na Kababayan! Why Covid 19 Will Not Stop? H aay, judging from how people in the boundaries of Pasay and Manila behave, we believed that the Covid war is not going to go anywhere. As I travel from Manila to Makati, I have to ride across Buendia to get to my office for an important appointment. The trip was smooth and yes, fast! I #love it! Since everybody seems to be working more at home after the declaration of an ecq as a government response to an ever increasing cases of covid 19 sufferers. Again, people are advised to wear mask and a face shield as minimum protocol! When you go out and when you are an APOR (Authorized Persons Outside of Residence), you must also follow the minimum requirement as a protection.  O n my way to the office, I observe people that I ride with through the public transport I access, of course. I try to check if they follow the minimum protocol. As a nurse and a front liner, I believe that it is one of my duties to remind people in my immediat...
