I'm Back

I'm back after a short break from blogging. First off, I would like to congratulate my students. Today is your day! Just remember what a great professor once said: "Rain rain will go away! exams will be on another day! Stress is essential and so are midterms".

It has been a while since my last post. I apologize for neglecting my blogging duties, but please stay tuned to this channel for further updates. Nothing's new here except for the increased anxiety levels. The exam results will be released by the end of August, probably August 27, because it's Monday this is according to the BON. Please help us Lord! Oh my, thats a day after my birthday.

It's my party, I can cry if I want to, cry if I want to.
You'll do that too if it happened to you, tentententen-ten...

Celebrate Life!

I got new career! and I'm becoming vegetarian. Just sad that I'm losing weight because of teaching and I don't have much time for myself. Well, It's called " A brand new life!" I'm proud to say that I'm now a full-time college instructor. I'm teaching Nutrition and Dietetics, Home Management & Meal Preparation, and Emergency Nursing. I'm having a hard time adjusting for my new life. But I love my job more than ever. MY CHARM HELPS ME A LOT!

And I'm receiving instant celebrity treatment from my students just the way I like it. Hahaha

Last Wed, I taught them how to make salads (low salt, low fat). The truth of the matter is that you can make salads out of whatever your little heart desires. I am going to give a few basics to remember in the making of salad dressings, and in future posts will give you several different salad dressings, if you have a favorite, drop me a line and I will post a recipe for you

The best way to season a salad is basically with the addition of a little oil and vinegar or citrus juice directly into your greens and seasoned with a little salt and fresh ground pepper. With seasoning salads I have found that usually the simpler it is dressed, the better it is.

I love my job!

Sorry guys I haven't been able to spend as much time blogging as I'd like of late, mostly due to a fairly intense weeks at work. Currently, I'm teaching Nutrition to HRM and Nursing students. I'm so lucky to get my dream job at a very early age.I'm making a history, I'm the youngest college instructor ever employed in the school.Everyone is just smiling at me and I feel like a little boy waiting for his school bus. Thank God I didn't have to be a call center agent while waiting for the results of the board exam.

The nice thing about teaching nutrition is that you get the chance to eat a variety of nutritious foods like salads prepared by your student for free and specially made for you.

I'm soo nutritious!

Boards Results

The results of the June 2007 nursing licensure examinations will be released in August, or a month later than the results of past tests have been, a member of the Board of Nursing (BoN) said Friday.

“The release of the June 2007 nursing li censure examination results will be out by August 15 or 17 up to 31 at the Professional Regulation Commission office in Manila,” Marco Sto. Tomas of the BoN, which prepares and oversees the entire exam process, said.

-PDI

The delay must be due to the volume of examinees this year. Tomorrow is another knife.
