The Importance of Controlling One’s Temper

Here’s one note I found on facebook. It’s a short story about anger and the importance of controlling one’s temper. Verbal wounds really are much painful than physical one. The scar it left will forever remain in our hearts. Jesus even stated in the book of Ephesians 4:26-27, “Be angry but do not sin: do not let your anger last until the end of the day, lest you give the devil a foothold.” Let us learn to control our temper, since anger may lead us to hurting others and committing sin.

Nail In The Fence

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.
The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.
The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same.
When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound is still there.
A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open their hearts to us.

Love For Work

Many successful people says that you should love your work and everything will come out smoothly. If you learn to love your work, you wouldn’t be working like you are obliged to, but instead you work happily and contented. Looking forward for the next day of your work. I’ve seen a lot of people who are passionate in their work. And it shows! Just for example this one man, we were surprised to see our station with a table and office furniture in one vacant room. According to him, aside from being his office, he opened this office for our senior heads to use for their paperworks and for resting. So they may have a comfortable place to work and to rest in. That’s one thoughtful idea of his and I admire him for applying his idea.

Assisting a Gyne Case Procedure

Most gyne cases in the operating room are minor cases and can be done in a matter of less than an hour. Gyne cases as well as OB cases are given the priority to be catered in the operating room. Most of the minor gyne cases doesn’t require a scrub nurse. The procedures can be done by the OB-Gyne and the resident gynecologist together.

I once assisted a minor gyne case in the operating room. It was the excision of a Bartholin’s cyst. While the procedure was going on, the OB-Gyne and the anesthesiologist were discussing about Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) especially chlamydia symptoms. It was an informative discussion.

It is alarming however that STD cases are increasing in our society nowadays. People now are sexually active and don’t even care about the use of condoms. Many didn’t mind the precautions given by health care workers and advertisements not until they themselves get the disease. It’s embarassing for some but it would be wise to see a gynecologist regularly.

A Taste of Italian Cuisine

No doubt I am a food lover. My weight can even justify that (*Laughing out loud). The most I love are chocolates and pasta! Pastas in white sauce, especially carbonara and sicily. And so I concluded that I love Italian cuisine the first time I tasted their food. They’re pizza is a delight as well!

I have some few favorite local Italian restaurants in town. Visited the place often with my friends and we always had a scrumptious time together! I am even looking forward to discovering new food havens in town for great Italian cuisines.

I heard Italian restaurant La Jolla from a friend when she visited her fiance in California. She raves about the comfort foods and comfortable prices this restaurant offers, with an authentic home style Italian food in a Mediterranean setting. I can’t help but imagine another food haven to discover. It’s one thing that gets me excited to visit California sometime soon.

Looking Forward For A Hair Transplant Surgery

Now that I am officially an Operating Room Nurse, one of the surgical procedures that I am looking forward to encounter is the hair transplant procedure. Never had any idea on how the surgery will commence, but it must be one of the exciting procedures to encounter. So far, I haven’t knew any hair transplant experts in town. But I guess, once this procedure will be made in the OR, we’ll know who the experts are. Of course, we need to take into consideration the skill and experience of such surgeon to handle this surgery since we entrust our lives in their hands.

There are a number of people, especially men, who suffer from hair loss. Some are even conscious of it and that is the reason why there are hair transplant surgeons nowadays to cater to their needs. It’s one method to help boost the self-confidence of that individual. As well as the solution to the hair loss problem of some.

I Still Love You But It Hurts

*Photo credited to Redeemer of Light of deviantart.

It’s been a year. And yet memories of you still haunts me. The happy moments we’ve shared were greatly missed. Even the pains that we both went through kept on haunting me. The more I set my mind to forget you, the more I misses you. There wasn’t any day that I don’t think of you. Everywhere I go, I see your face, your smile, and your voice I hear. I wonder, do you feel the same way?

Yet, I still feel hurt. Hurt with the way you are right now. You became the type of guy I hated most. But why is it that I still love you? Don’t want to totally entertain the thought of what you are right now. So disappointing…so discouraging. I don’t want to be regretful of choosing you and I don’t want to wait for the time where I’ll lost my respect and love in you. This is why I needed to keep my distance. To safeguard myself from more pains. And to safeguard my love for you. Hope you’ll understand my choice and won’t take it against me.

Loving Still Despite the Pain

Is loving always equals to pain? How can such an individual still capable of loving someone even he/she knows that there wouldn’t be any chance at all. That even by loving him/her still will result to more pain. Pain that resulted to hearing things that he/she is moving on, meeting and seeing other people. While you on the other hand, is still stuck loving him/her.

Is it just psychological? Or is it because you truly love the person?

It’s really painful loving someone you can’t have even though you knew it’s already over, isn’t it?

Just a thought…

Is Looking at Others a Form of Adultery?


*Photo credited to ValentinaKallias of deviantart.

A discussion between two married man and a single man took place while they were on duty. They were discussing and asking whether looking at another woman is already a sin in the bible. Isn’t it wrong to admire and just to look at other woman when you are married? I began to think and remembered what I read in the bible about adultery. Jesus said in Matthew 5:28, “Anyone who looks at a woman with the intentions of possessing her has in fact already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Therefore I conclude that fantasizing is in fact a form of adultery but just merely looking at other woman without any intentions of possessing nor fantasizing is just fine. Fantasizing can lead to increase dissatisfaction to your wife which may lead to harming your marriage.

No More Neverland…

Here’s one inspiring story from a friend of mine, Yassy Uy. It’s one short story about her realization that there is no contentment in life and that there could never be a beautiful and magnificent place that could last for an eternity except HEAVEN. In Heaven where there is no gnashing of teeth, no fire…only happiness, contentment and smiles.

There was this little girl who was very fond of watching this tagalized cartoon series entitled Peter Pan. She was so amazed by the whole story, the characters and most especially, the place where the whole story evolved, Neverland. This little girl was so fascinated with the place and she pictured it out as a real paradise filled with pine trees, different flowers, streams and rivers and a gazillion hectares of green fields. Funny how she’d always climb up into their rooftop and just stare at the blue sky, imagining that she could fly to the land of the unknown.

While she was growing up, the thought of the place still lingered in her thoughts and it was very evident in her art works, poetry and song-writing. Seeing nature such as pine trees makes her feel at ease. Shallow? Yes maybe but not for her. The ultimate dream for her was to live in that kind of place. America she thought. Korea, Australia and New Zealand were also great options. But despite of all these day-dreaming stuff she had been doing, she was suddenly struck by this one statement. “There is no contentment in this lifetime.” The girl realized that no matter where her feet brought her, her heart will still have a vast room for unending desires, thirsty for a much greener pasture. And so I contemplated. Oh, did I just say “I”? By the way, the girl I’ve been talking about is me. Yes I reflected.

Just before my whole world was almost buried six feet below the ground, I found the answer. The place I have been dying to go to my entire life is not of this world. Not America, not Australia or not even the Caribbean. It is far beyond my wildest imagination or any man’s description. It is unfathomably beautiful, and its splendor has not even entered the minds of men. It is called heaven. Finally, I now know why they named that Peter pan place Never Land. Because there will NEVER be a place in this world that is meant to last for all eternity.

Blogging and Compensation

It’s been years that I am into blogging. Blogging has become my passion, my comfort zone and my sanctuary. For me it is where I vent out my inner thoughts and ideas. Share my emotions and inform people about some informations. Indeed, it’s one media that help spread the word. It’s a good medium though when used properly. For most, it has become a hobby but this hobby somehow becomes compensated. Yes, blogging can be compensated. There are several pay to blog sites available online that caters to these compensation thingy. It is usually called, paid reviews. And the earnings you get from these may not be that much to replace your current job, but it can help you with your savings plan and other additional income needs.
