Life seems so tricky these days. Even how hard we work, commodities are seemingly exorbitant. Salaries most of the time are enough only to family’s basic needs. Even how we want to put aside for savings, we simply can’t because we don’t have extra for that.

Imagine that next pay day is still weeks long, and we need additional cash for personal or business use in this period of time, where do we go? Borrowing money from any lending agencies would take weeks or longer before the approval. So it is not a good solution in cases of emergencies. We need someone who can give as quick cash advance anytime we need one.

I Know Myself Better!

Save to Google Bookmarks!
Every time I watch Pinoy Big Brother, I often relate to what the housemates are experiencing. It is very difficult to settle in an environment with limitations and strict rules. I am talking about when I was working at AL Gassim Region. Unfortunately, I was placed in a hospital located at a very strict region and are very conservative. Unlike, Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, I cannot go out anytime I want. Two hours of shopping twice a week is the least I had and covering my face exposing only the eyes doing the shopping is one of the hardest part.

I am not discouraging everyone not to try working in KSA. I am just sharing what I had experienced. Talking to male (in a friendly manner), loud laughing, taking pictures anywhere, keeping a rosary and some more which will take me a novel to enumerate are prohibited[...]

But beyond that restrictions was a great experience I gained for myself, professionally and personally. I learned how to appreciate the little freedom I enjoyed while shopping for two hours. I learned how to give attention to small details about myself and my environment. I learned to value friendship and trust. I discovered my strengths and my weaknesses. I know myself better.

I remember when I was in college and we had this little game in my psychiatric nursing. The rule was one should stand in the middle and everyone surrounds that person would describe another person in the group and the one at the center should guess who that person is. It was my turn to be in the center...They are describing a person which I have difficulty in guessing (which in the end I did not really guessed it.) And turned out that the person they are trying to described was me.

It struck me. I wasn't able to know me. I was ashamed not knowing anything about myself...

After King Saud Hospital, I am a different person. I can describe myself better than having a long straight hair, tall, timid, and sweet...

Christmas Gifts Dilemma

Save to Google Bookmarks!

I was at the mall yesterday doing my usual shopping for the whole week supply, when I saw this lovely Christmas tree at the mall’s corner sparkling with colorful lights! And I just realized that it is now time to buy gifts for my family and friends!

As busy as I am as a nurse, I don’t have enough time to visit all the malls to look for any sales and discounts. That is why I decided that I would do an online shopping instead. And besides, there are a lot of discounts and great promotional deals from various manufacturers when buying online, like The Body Shop coupons. My sister and Mom love products from this store so I better purchase it online at CouponChief.com using the coupon codes.

I saw this discounted running shoes from Nike deals which I guess my brother and my dad would love having.

Well, now I am at peace because I don’t have to worry running through the stores during the rush hours of Christmas season to buy gifts for them. I will get it online!

After all those new generations of antibiotic or newly develop drugs, we tend to go back to what nature can give us. Traditional medicine as we call it, became well patronized by many for its good effects in so many ways.

Giving Marriage Counseling a Try

Save to Google Bookmarks!
I remember a friend of mine back then who always complains about her marriage being falling apart. She is not happy as things were not the same as before. They have two kids, an 11 year-old boy and a 7 year-old girl who seems to understand what is going on with their family. I have a hard time seeing my friend crying each day. I am trying to give her advise but to no use because I have never been married in the first place. I felt so sad for her because she is stressed out trying her best to work out their differences.

For months, things get worst ending up to calling the marriage off. She blames herself for not holding on so hard for her children. Her mother came for rescue, and advises her to seek help through marriage counseling which she agreed straight away. But unfortunately, her husband resent the idea. She tried to convince him for number of times for their children’s sake and at long last, got him to sit down with the counselor.

It took them 4 months to finally settle their differences and put back together their marriage for a second try. Now, I am pleased to see the smile I have never seen for a long time at my friend’s face. She can’t seem to imagine how they made it through. And glad they did.

Number of couples does not seek help because they think that private matters should remain private. Sometimes pride gets on the way. Accepting that there is a problem and seeking help is a solution, is a big step. A marriage counselor is there not to tell the couple what to do but to help them reach the best decision for both of them. Sometimes a couple needs a third person, a professional to reach realization.

Thanks to The Family and Marriage Counseling Directory for this post.

Bridge Ammendment Did Not Survived

Save to Google Bookmarks!
After all the endeavour HLG and other groups did, the bridge did not pass through the house and was not included in the budget. Yes, it is so sad but according to HLG, we still have a chance before the year ends to be included in the a budget bills. Let us hope for the best.

It's been a tough year for us health workers who are just trying our fate to give a better future for our love ones. But remember, the world is round. We will be on top sooner even if it turns in a slow motion in favour for us. We may taste the bitterness of life but in some way it will bring another opportunity and chance.

While we are here, why not use the time to focus on things we never gave attention before, things that was there all along or do something that would give a beam to people that surrounds us. Maybe it will give meaning to our life.“We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”

CPR and Using AED

Save to Google Bookmarks!
Watch this demo video which I think is very helpful to refresh our CPR courses. The scene was inside the hospital while one of the visitors collapsed at the nurse station. There is one scene that the responder (who is a nurse) told her staff to call '911'. There are comments on you tube that why they need to call 911 if they are in the hospital. I think they mean about 911 is the hospital's code blue team. In some facilities, when someone is in cardiac arrest there is a number they have to call to activate emergency respond system. Some code it as "911", '188","code blue" depending on the hospital protocol. Then the team will come to assist and help.

Well, that is just my opinion. I guess better watch it and tell me what you think.

Knowing these 'Plastics' Better

A credit card is a system of payment where it does not remove money from the user's account after every transaction. It is when the issuer lends money to the consumer (or the user). Credit cards allow the consumers to do balance transfers and as well as 'revolve' their balance, at the cost of having interest charged. Plastics, as many people would generally refer this card to, are the most convenient and easiest way to go around. It’s as a payment device and facilitate online banking has been intensified.

The rampant uses of credit card have substantial causes trouble for consumers as well. The downside occurs when making transaction one time too many or going over the maximum limit of the point-of-sale and consumer would have to pay higher rates including monthly service charge. Which would either get you more debt or would cause you trouble in your credit report.

The worldwide use of credit card have also paved the way of generating the industry of providing card industry which provides different incentives for consumers like rewards, gift certificates and cash back (typically up to 1 percent based on total purchases) to try to attract customers to their program. The credit cards with cash back provides consumer to avail extra money from merchant from purchases made. It is handy way to get cash without the trouble, and embarrassment, in withdrawing from automated teller machine.
