After five years..

.. and we're reunited and it feels so good :)

Wow! FIVE years, huh! Look how fast time flies by and now a lot of things happened to my classmates in senior high school. Although not all of the Rizalian's are present but almost 30% attended and I am really happy to have met them again. Kinda few attended without Ms. Baya yet it's a good start. I am sure once some of my classmates see these pictures on FB they'll be jealous and remorseful not being able to attend the gathering. Haha! 

Hmn..It's like refreshing those good old times with these lovely people. Totally lots of things changed within a span of five years. Some of my classmates are already married, successful in their careers, some have kids, others stayed single and others are in a happy relationship with the other fellow classmate whom you never thought would end with up with each other five years ago. Lots of things have surprised me in a good way for just five years. What else will happen the next five years? What lies ahead of my immediate future? Will I still be alive the next time we will gather again? Hehe. If not, I hope these people will have a good life and remain in their hearts the love God has endowed us with and may they learn to love, respect, forgive and forget. I am saying this not because it is Christmas time but to do these acts everyday not to ones they know but also to express this love to strangers too. Life is short and we are all ephemeral creatures God created so might as well make use of our time living and loving the people around us :)

Anyway, this was actually a spontaneous gathering with my fellow classmates in fact we were supposed to meet earlier this year but prolly because of work and other matters we decided to meet on December since it's going to be holidays and we'll be having more time to celebrate without the hassle and bustle of work and school. So to iron things up, we had a prior meeting with them guys at Dunkin Donuts and then we hit it up and celebrated the reunion at Dela Mar Spring Pool. 

So here are some of the pics taken by my classmate Marky & Ray. Check it out! 

The TONTO's & Neil taking the pix :P

After swimming, eating, chatting and updating what's new in each of our lives we then went to the Carnival commuting via jeepney minutes after we arrived at Pryce, Tubod. We saw various Christmas decorations, band competitions and other colorful displays in celebration of Christmas in Iligan. Here are some pictures played with colorful shots taken by Marky:

And then finally we took a chance and dared on try a few rides at the carnival and the a.k.a. "hammock" was a hellova dizzy ride. I was kinda about to throw up after the crazy ride we had but I was controlling myself not to mess up. LOL! You may think I am okay in the picture but I am so not feeling well after that. I promised to myself never again will I take that ride. :D

On a caterpillar ride before trying out the "hammock ride" for the first time not knowing the dire consequence in the end. Hahaha. If I haven't controlled myself I would have puked and everyone's gonna have a special facial mask ahora mismo. Haha :D

It was really fun having been able to meet my classmates after five years alone and what more if another five years shall be added? What changes will happen? Will I face them as a lawyer soon? Will I face them with someone special with me on our next gathering? Will I get married and have kids? Will I still be alive? Well, what may lie ahead is yet unknown but I am overwhelmed to be able to join the celebration. I hope next time around some of my other classmates will be able to attend too. I am pretty sure it'll be great especially with Ma'am Baya our adviser. Until then, see yah guys soon :)

FIF Food Trip Part 2 at Greenwich

Another get together with my Mu Kappan sisters. I initially invited them all for a snack/dinner to celebrate our monthsary. By the way, FIF stands for Fortiores in Fide which means stronger in faith. I was the one who chose that name for our five-girl-batch before we entered the exclusive law fraternity and sorority. But I guess I'll have to write something about my batchmates. I forgot to kind of tell yah guys the moment I decided to be initiated in a law fraternity. It was kind of a long story but don't worry I promise to write another entry about my journey before I became a real Mu Kappan in heart, soul and in deed.

Anyway, here's another documented food trip with my FIF sisters. This time around, Precious is absent and with us was Mommy Jehan. We call her "mommy" because she's like the eldest in our group. More like an "ate" or a big sister. So yeah, in trying to celebrate for our monthsary I treated them at Greenwich known as the largest pasta and pizza chain in Philippines. I confess, I am one hell of a Greenwich food addict. I love their lasagna, their french fries and most of all their four seasons. Yummey! 

It was fun being with them, eating our favorite foods and talking on just about everything. Yah know! Girls talk. Haha! 

Now here's the kind of food I am talking about.

Scrumptious pizza sprinkled with different sorts of ingredients. Yet I hate it coz pineapple is added in it, phobia.. me no likey :( 

Onion Rings with that damn delish mayo. Nomnomnom!

Zammy & Me. Playing with the onion rings. Haha. Peace out, yo!

RICE! The typical Filipino food. We can't live without it :) So to the farmers out there, you guys are the best! Hail to you! 

Glenice & Mommy Jhe teasing us with how to seductively eat onion rings & pizzas :D

But I don't mind. To sexily eat the food or not, what for? Haha. Damn I am hungry :D

Ooh la la.. like rice, it seems like coke a cola is already a part of the Pinoy meal, donchathink?

Chicken plus gravy = heaven! :D

Mommy Jhe on her newly rebonded hair. Congrats! Yah look stunning. :)

Bleh! Haha. Zam tryna make funny faces. Damn those dimples :P

Burp! What am I gonna do? I am gaining carbs again and again and again. Need to work out :D

Food Trip at Chomps with FIF

Sometimes when I am not too busy at school, me and my batchmates in a sorority I've affiliated myself with at law school, my girlfriends and I would be on a food trip. This was the first documented get together we had on a food trip at Chomps. The said place is definitely one of the best eating restaurants in Iligan City. So yeah, so much for the babbling. Here's what I am talking about: THE FOODS and of course the warm company with my sisters in Mu Kappa Phi.. F:P

Mouthwatering onion rings and the so-called Sotanghon.

Rice rice rice.. main staple for us FILIPINOS :)

Of course, a liter of happiness, COKE A COLA baby! :P

Medical Assistant Career: What’s in it?

To keep things in an orderly manner as related to the medical profession, it is but necessary that there will be medical assistants because they are the main reason why things are systematic in the medical office. We all know that doctors and nurses are quite busy assisting the patients speedy recovery so medical assistants are there to support and to take on some of the heavy workload.

So the question is that, what really is in it of becoming a medical assistant? Let me count the ways.

First of all, if you embark in this kind of profession you’ll get to befriend people in a mundane basis. If you are the kind of person who loves to socialize, then this job is definitely all for you. It is because one of the primary duties of a medical assistant is from the word itself “assist”. It is to assist patients who have problems and during those moments where the patient is very sick, it is the perfect time to provide them with the positive experience.

Secondly, it only takes a few years to complete the training of a medical assistant and like they say it’s one of the most in demand careers these days. Amidst its fast paced work it is also one of the most extremely rewarding careers ever.  The said salary can range for up to an average between $28,000 and $36,000 annually. But it can actually gain more of an increase to it especially when you have gained a Masters in the nursing department and have been trained in a school or university that has been widely known to have produced the best students in lined of becoming a medical assistant.

Other than that, being a medical assistant also gives you the chance to really have a stable job since according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the medical assistant field will experience a faster than average increase of job opportunities in the decade of 2008 and up to 2018. It has been said that it will increase up to 34 percent from the mentioned years. It makes you sure enough that you will definitely owe a stable job much in demand than any other job opportunities. So therefore we can say that being a medical assistant can be a “jack of all trades” in the medical profession. This is the job that requires mostly clinical, clerical and administrative aspects.

Lastly, it has been found out that both employers and certifying organizations requires that said medical assistants would still be completing education programs to develop further their skills on it. So that means, this continuing education will be of a great benefit for you especially so that tons of medical assistant organization will sponsor online and classroom continuing training programs to those engaged in this career. This would entail an amazing opportunity to hone new skills and knowledge.

A Valuable Treatment: Medical Uses of Marijuana

 Medical marijuana has been gaining acceptance these days contrary to how it has been a prohibited drug in most countries for so many years. It has been considered tabooed for eons but considering the fact that this tabooed drug has been found out to have such valuable treatment of certain diseases. The medical uses of marijuana includes the gradual curing or minimizing the pain brought about by the painful effects of acquiring cancers, arthritis, brain injury, stroke, asthma, migraines, HIV/ AIDS diagnosis, seizures, chronic pain, and glaucoma. It has even been proven to ease the pain of patients who have had undergone the side effects of chemotherapy. 

In fact it is even way less addictive and has lesser long term side effects from the usage of alcohols, tobaccos and cigarettes. That is why this particular drug is now legally used or has been legalized and has gained momentum for the past ten years.

Almost 11 states have legalized the use of marijuana for medical purposes and one of these States includes California. Although it has to be stressed out that these States did not legalized marijuana for some recreational purposes but it is only used for medical reasons especially to individuals who are suffering from such ailments that only marijuana or cannabis can cure it.

The legalization of this particular drug has been recognized in the healthcare arena and other than California; New Jersey has also..READ MORE here.

Safety First

Time and again, we have always been reminded by our parents if not probably by our significant others or some friends to never forget to wear the helmet when driving the motorcycle. But sometimes we can be very stubborn and forget to follow what they just told us. Maybe because we're too lazy not to put it on or maybe it will make us look less cool than any other motor drivers out there. You feel as though wearing one makes you feel uncomfortable especially for people who have long hair. It kinda ruins the faux pax. Another reason is that it looks a bit unfashionable as well.

Still, there are some modern helmets that have been revamped with foam and padded chin straps to reduce discomfort. Others have been designed in a way that it is sleek and chick. Not bulky but just fit for the right age.

But then again, SAFETY COMES FIRST. Helmets are the most important equipment to protect our head, particularly our brains. According to a certain survey, wearing a helmet makes survival of a traffic incident nine times more likely than not wearing a helmet.

Therefore, wear one now to avoid such accidents. There's only one life to live so better think about your safety more than fashion talk or anything else more important than your safety.

To know more about these things or see a video on tips about properly wearing a helmet, you can try visiting our official site for Motorcycles. Check it in here and let us know what you think: http://www.pablojesusmartinez.com
