Read More...i've been looking for torrents of my favorite shows but i couldnt find any new episodes yet, so i just browsed the news. i learned that the elections in the states is only months away from now.. there are news bout obama and hillary clinton.. so i heard they are competing for the spot of who's going to run for the democratic slot? am i correct??? obama, if he gets lucky and wins will be the first black american president.. while hillary will be the first woman president ever. so tough choice, right? and that is only for the democratic slot. i wasnt really familiar with the two party systems in the US.. all i know is that these two are really rivals.. and i think that some people in the states get passionate bout it.. just like in basketball or baseball games.. some are loyal to one party.. some to the other.. the loyalty even runs in families. we usually have a lot of political parties here in the philippines... not to mention a lot of independent candidates during election.. i think we should improve that screening process for anyone who plans to run for president.
anyway so i researched a little bout these 2 parties.although im not a voter in the states i just wanted to know. that's just me..always curious..actually it irks me.. LOL
so ill start with the flags.. republican-elephant; democrat-donkey
why such animals? i dunno.. so the main difference is their platform...
according to what ive heard they said the the republicans usually are pro-rich, pro-business, promilitary and conservative while the democrat leans toward the common people or the middle class, liberal, tolerates other culture, accepts alternative lifestyles, wants bigger govt (so citizens depends more), bigger budget and less concern on morality. so proabortion etc..
Democrat vs Republican?
A Balanced Budget vs. Lower Taxes -
balanced Federal budget more important, higher taxes(democrat)
lower taxes, people receive more of what they earn, good business(republican)
tolerance of other lifestyles(d)
a moral code of conduct in society(r)
Individual Security vs. A Gun Free Society
country without guns(d)
a secure home, gun ownership(r)
Prison vs. Capital Punishment
imprisonment for life(d)
capital punishment(r)
Socialism vs. Capitalism
society with a big social safety net,govt gets more;social security(d)
society where people get to keep more of what they make for themselves;private accounts(r)
Statesmanship vs. Unilateralism
US should always work in concert with other countries (d)
"going it alone" (r)
Public vs. Private Education
federal government should only fund public schools (d)
also private education (r)
Judicial Freedom
judges should be free to "interpret" the laws of our country (d)
otherwise (r)
Scientific Advances
Do you think science should be allowed to advance unchecked by our moral code? (d)
otherwise (R)
Enviroment vs. Business
environment should be protected even if its harmful to business (d)
business first (r)
if ever ill vote there in the US i think ill choose republican.. yikes.. im conservative... i'm anti abortion.. that's because of Dra. Aguirre.. :p i even took the test..
Your Vote Score: 64% Republican, 36% Democrat |
While you don't always agree with the Republican party, it's a pretty good match for you. Do be sure to research each candidate. A conservative Democrat or independent candidate might fit you better at times. |
anyway i dont wanna appear as a die hard fan.. haha.. i just cant help but share her video to you. i got teary eyed while watching part of her video.. anyway for those who do not know yet.. christine is a fil-am and she shares her feelings upon visiting the land of her mother and father for the first time. for phil-ams i think it is important that they get to visit the phils even once in their lives. anyway ill quickly end it here and just watch her video instead.

As a result, you've probably noticed that you have a greater gift for expressing yourself than most people around you. In fact, you might be known in your circle of friends as something of a wordsmith.
Whether writing or speaking, you're the type to get your point across with both precision and flair. At times, this can make you a very persuasive communicator. By choosing the right words at the right time, you can clearly express your ideas, thoughts, and feelings to others. This can be a crucial skill in both your professional and personal life.

saturday
concocted by Camille tags malling, powerbooks, puzzle, puzzle cube, toys r us, trinoma, world chickenok.. i actually woke up yesterday morning with a text message from my mom... she said that she'll be going to manila.. she brought my niece marielle, along and told me to bring her to trinoma.. i was shocked when i saw marielles hair.. .it was permed! haha..so here are just some photos..
waited for her to read all the books at powerbooks... LOL.. (nahuli pa kami ng guard bawal daw magpicture..)
ate nelia n marielle.. tambays
haha.. ok i really find it funny.. i dont think ill ever be a good food blogger... lage na may bawas before i remember to take a picture of it... takaw kasi!! haha
ok so we ate at the trinoma foodcourt. bought my food from world chicken.. -grilled chicken with 2 side dishes-i chose potato salad n pesto cream.. for the sauce i chose ranch bbq.. yum!
britney needs dr phil..
concocted by Camille tags bipolar mood disorder, britney spears, dr phil, hollywoodall night study-survey says it's not good.
concocted by Camille tags books, research, school, sleeping, studying, surveysa few days back, ive heard from the radio(RX 93.1) about this study/survey...theyve compared the performance of those students who study all night and those who study at night but are still able to have some sleep. they have concluded that according to stats..
those who don't study all night long have higher averages than those who study all night long..
we think ur minds are working at 2am but not really. how can u effectively study if you're sleepy right? they say sleep improves memory.
also, lack of sleep can alter ur performance really bad..! so sleep! and don't forget to eat breakfast.. its the most important meal of day! :P and take ur vitamins!
hm but then again. what doesnt work for someone may really work for someone else.. so still case to case basis. well.. me? i prefer to sleep when im sleepy.. :D
exams week is finally coming to an end.. hm.. but being a med student.. exams are part of our everyday lives. i believe it is important to have study habits but then to each his own. we do whatever works for us.. usually i take breaks from time to time to refresh. do u know that according to studies the maximum time that we can really pay our complete attention to something is average of 2 hours..? so studying or listening to a lecture for longer periods may not be efficient.. it's nice to stretch or grab a bite from time to time. also in my opinion.. (coz it works for me) it is important that im in the mood.:D does that mean im a crammer? hm.. i dunno.. another important thing. u should know how to handle ur time, budget it. being so laid back really has its disadvantages. i still wish that sometimes i can be like my other classmates who are so diligent.. and super responsible.
dont be too grade conscious.. exams don't measure who u really are. what's important is that u learn something and u know how and when to use that acquired knowledge..
just do ur best! and enjoy life coz each moment is a time spent that u can never get back! :D
for YOUR eyes only..
-->
ok, i see.. ur viewn my blog again. want some updates? i was thinking of texting u nlng since i know ur number naman..hm.. dont know how u got the url of dis site.. i didnt even post it in my friendster blog. so im just wondering...ur really doin ur research huh? i left friendster pero nahabol mo parin ako dto?
tryin to see if iv seen ur blog already? want another reaction? if thats the case ur wasting ur time dear.. coz i wont be having any of it na... not my thing. stop bothering me na. un lang... for all i care..u can blog bout anything just stop talking bout me or sep. im just tired of it. u can do whatever u like na. i know what i know. :D
naintindhan ko sguro ur bitter. kung naghiwalay kami siguro i wont be hearing dos things from u. pero tapos na un. just stop na.<--

happyslip and davidchoi
concocted by Camille tags christine gambito, davidchoi, happyslip, music videook since dak featured happyslip and kevjumba.. ill feature davidchoi instead.. LOL..
actually it intrigues me and i find him funny(davidchoi)..why coulndnt he smile for his fans..? loss of facial muscles for smiling?
here is a video wherein happyslip tries to make him smile.. was she successful? find out for yourself.. he has a good voice.
happyslip is 31 years old already -ive heard..
ive also observed.. is it the common thing in the states wherein people bond according to their race? asians bond with asians.. southeast asians with se asians? caucasians with caucasians? hm.. same as always huh... maybe its just that somehow we can relate more with those races similar to ours... i think there will always be those.. i wouldnt want to call them barriers but maybe.. thats just how things usually go..of course its not always the case. :D
so..? COLOR or CULTURE?
anyways.. back to the topic.. i like these two asians.. i like the video where davidchoi finally was heard laughing while singing.
i had lunch at wok with me with my med classmates yesterday.. dak and i started making kwento bout happyslip.. then we realized that we were the only ones who can relate with what we were trying to talk bout...every1s staring.. haha oh no!! have we become so addicted to the net that we are always updated with these kinds of stuffs??! oh-oh... :p Read More...
haay.. i love this song..(kaya nga tadtad na tong blog ko..haha) ok ok.. ill start reviewing na for our exam tomorrow in med 1..
Read More...IQ- MENSA
concocted by Camille tags high IQ societies, IQ test, Mensa international, Visionary philosopherYour mind's strengths allow you to think ahead of the game — to imagine or anticipate what should come next in just about any situation. Because you're equally skilled in the numerical and verbal universes of the brain, you can draw from multiple sources of information to come up with great ideas. The timelessness of your vision and the balance between your various skills are what make you a Visionary Philosopher.
In addition to your strengths in math and linguistics, you have a knack for matching and anticipating patterns. These skills and your uncanny ability to detect the underlying blueprint of most of life's situations add to your Visionary Philosopher mind.
Two philosophers who share the same combination of skills you possess are Plato and Benedict Spinoza. Spinoza had insight into how things worked in the world. He could envision a future based on the patterns he saw in life, and used mathematical logic as a structure within which to present his philosophical arguments. With that base he was able to use logic to formulate his theories. Borrowing from his linguistic strengths he wrote eloquent texts and, therefore, was able to bring his philosophical ideas and structure to the rest of the world. His story exemplifies the talents that are present in the Visionary Philosopher intellectual type.
Whatever you decide to do in life, you've got a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a wide variety of ways. You can expand your mind to understand a situation. Your strong balance of math and verbal skills will help you explain things to others. For example, if you were on an archaeological dig and discovered an object, you could probably use your deductive powers to figure out not only what the object was but also how it was used. Given your ability to put things together, you are more than capable of inventing a life plan that is in synch with your perspective on how things were, how they are, and how they might be one day.
it isnt that accurate.. bit easy.. but still fun.
hehe.. took this test in the past.. i think my score was higher back then.. from 145 to now 142. i know coz i got older.. supposedly intelligence should increase with age right? IQ is inversely proportional with age but i think only up to 18 years old. hehe.. a lot higher than my actual IQ scores in college.. 123 or 121..
not enough for MENSA International.. LOL..
i remember one of our consultant pathologists in veterans memorial medical center when i was still a medtech intern..
Dr. kalangitan- she's a a member and also an officer of Mensa Philippines.. an organization of people with exceptionally high IQ. i remember one time i asked her for the capital of this never heard country and she knew it! haha.. awesome..! she was even featured in fhm.. not for her body but for her brain.. :D

this new year really entered in a bang.. en grande.. bongang bonga! a lot of people got sick at the start of the year.. my friend hanna got dengue, together with other two classmates... then dak.. was diagnosed to have a systemic viral infection.. he's still recovering right now.. he was discharged last friday but still felt weak to go to class today... so he missed 3 tests already.. we just hope that he gets well soon.
and then our class president got something as well. at first they thought he had measles.. but then the rashes looked different.. and his rashes started at his right lower extremity , started with cramps.. so i also think measles doesnt really fit the diagnosis...other doctors, a derma concluded that it coul be an allergy.. different diagnosis, different medicines were prescribed and so euge wasnt sure which medication to take.. he already came to school today and they said that it might be a severe allergic response due to an insect bite.. oh.. poor euge.. i hope all of them get much better in the next days to come.
again just yesterday.. my bf's sister was admitted to the hospital coz she also had dengue! she's been having high grade fever(meaning fever with temperature of 40 deg C or more) which was on and off four days- biphasic? hm. anyway.. i told my bf last fri that it could be dengue..if accompanied with head, joint and muscle pain(like bone fractures).. i think they observed her first before finally rushing her to the hosp.. they should look out for the platelet count which usually falls after the fever goes down.. so there.. i was surprised that she was worries because she'll miss school.. hm.. manang mana sa kuya.. i hope she gets well sooner too..
according to harrison's the clinical syndrome of dengue includes:
Headache,,musculoskeletal pain
(“breakbone fever”);leukopenia;occasionally biphasic
(“saddleback”) fever
dengue fever is a disease caused by a flavivirus-dengue virus. it is transmitted by mosquitos-Aedes aegypti..
these mosquitos usually thrive in clean stagnant water.. they are also day biting.. the philippines is a tropical country and dengue is just among of those common diseases endemic here.. usually seasonal-during the rainy season..
