Nurse uniform

There are family of lawyers, family of accountants, family of teachers and professors and our family belong to those professionals wearing immaculately white uniforms.   Need I say we are family of of doctors,nurses, midwifes, opthalmologist, several Med techs? I practically grew up in the company of relatives looking dignified in their white uniforms and oftentimes it made me think if I too,  will look good in a nurse uniform just like my uncle Efren in the States who works as male ICU nurse.   I deviated from the line of medicine and instead pursued Multi media arts to break the monotomy of  one single profession the family is imposing on us.  The elders took upon themselves to implement a course in our family like if the father is a doctor, the children should also be like them.   But my cousins and I who belong to the new generation are more inclined to arts, web page designing , game development, theater and arts.

We always consider well meaning suggestions of our parents which course to take up in college  but in the end, we follow what our heart’s desire.   So, slowly our family boast of good lawyers, architects, artists and mathematicians-  we are a mixture of different professions now.

Acme thread

School projects oftentimes becomes a nightmare if you don’t have the right resources and materials and tools to have your work done swiftly to be able to beat the deadline of submission or else you will receive incomplete grade.   For a graduating student like me, I can’t afford to get such grade that will compromise my chance to make it to the list of candidates for graduation.

So, even if you really detest costly and hard to do projects, my team mates and I worked hard to assemble a robot out of refrigerator parts and we started by of course, buying an old refrigerator from a junk shop dealer and prepared all necessary tools and materials.   What helped us stitched everything into proper places are working tools like clamps and different sets of acme thread rods.

We can’t be any happier because the project made it in the nick of time and a grade fair enough for me to announce to my parents that they have to prepare for my graduation.

Thank you Acme thread!

Office plants

I’ve been exchanging frequent emails with my overseas worker mom and our conversation tackle almost everything- her everyday life, social life, spiritual life, her work and how she misses us.   Mom told me that her work in the Administrative section of  Cardiovascular department is not easy and working with  Adult, Pediatric, Intensivist, Cardiac surgeons means  having a good stock of patience.  Knowing my mom,who for a fact is no superwoman and has her share of moods too, can deal with the stress.   Medical secretaries like her are  ready to assist physicians on  their leaves, exit reenty requests, meetings and recontracting . According to her, not all days are toxic in their  department… there are light and heavy days…. Heavy days are mostly days when surgeons are up on their toes doing cardiac surgeries for 5-8 hours duration giving them back, neck and leg pains which make them grumpy, temperamental and very moody.  Light days are usually when complicated surgeries are done successfully and celebration definitely ensue.  And physician’s receiving bonuses and step increases after their recontracting lighten up everybody’s day.   Happy pictures of them posted in a social networking site indicates light days.

Office work is dealt with on a day to day basis and flow of work oftentimes depend on what  mood of their physicians are for the day.    But in their  almost a decade serving the department, they are already used to the toxic and non toxic environment.   In fact, you will notice that  office plants surrounds them not only as a decorating tool but thankfully, Lindsay, their office manager knew well that plants perk up and brighten their every working day in the office.   Not only it liven up the workplace, it also bring a relaxing environment and affects their working attitude, efficiency and boost productivity.   I can relate to mom’s complaints of having strained eyes because of long hours spent before the computer and it was good that she had developed the habit of focusing on green  plants in the office to refresh tired eyes and mind.  It also effectively reduces stress even when at the back of their mind that  physicians are soon to come after the morning rounds.

One time, seeing pictures she posted, I can’t help  but to give my comments… their office seemed to be overwhelmed with office plants and looked more of a garden.   Maybe, there is increased toxicity in their workplace thus, they have to turn to green plants to draw positive vibes and effect on their stress level.

I wonder when is Mom and Dad are going home for good?

plants like these will surely brighten one’s day
