DIET ON READER'S DIGEST COVER FOR KIDS


Recognizing his efforts to help poor Filipino children, ABS-CBN contract star Diether Ocampo has graced the cover of the Reader's Digest Asia's 2009 December issue.

Fondly called Diet by his close friends, Ocampo, one of the most bankable actors in show business, is the co-founder of K.I.D.S. Foundation. In the cover story “My Wish for New Year,” the Reader’s Digest Asia has cited his works to alleviate the plight of poor Filipino children. The story also features other inspirational Asians.


“I haven’t forgotten that I come from a poor family. This keeps me grounded and grateful for what I have today,” Ocampo was quoted as saying. Every year, he celebrates his birthday with the less fortunate children.

“[This my way of] sharing my blessings to all these kids. Kasi marami din sigurong hindi nakakaalam, minsan naging bata din ako na nangarap. Galing din ako sa hirap,” Ocampo said in an interview during his 33rd birthday celebration last July.

CESDEV JOINS KIDS

In our continuing effort to establish linkages with other organizations with the same passion for service, the Community Extension Services and Development of the College of Nursing of UC Banilad joined KIDS Foundation.

K.I.D.S. Foundation, Inc., a family of committed volunteers, share a common passion to establish a nurturing environment, helping children from all walks of life enjoy their rights and experience growth and development through God-centered activities that promote fun and enjoyment. We work as catalysts. We bring together socially responsible institutional and individual benefactors to participate in our programs and share the fulfillment of helping children realize their potential, enjoy their youth, and build their dreams.

K.I.D.S. Foundation is a brainchild of Filipino actor, Mr. Diether Ocampo. Realizing a longtime passion to improve the lives of our future leaders, he felt the desire to give back to the society that has been good to him, and to show the world that there are no limitations when it comes to realizing dreams. In this endeavor, Mr. Ocampo is supported by his friends and colleagues who share his vision.

EXAM IS OVER ... THE WAITING STARTS

Given the huge number of examinees who took the PNLE this November, the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) may take a while before it is able to project a release date for the results. Below are some tips in dealing with the stress of waiting for the nursing board exam results:

• Accept the fact that the exam is over, things are out of your control now. You did the best that you could on the exam, and no amount of worry or stress is going to change the results now;

• Avoid going over the test questions and answers with other examinees. While it may seem a good idea so we can get a general picture of our performance in the nursing exams, doing so now causes more stress and makes us second-guess ourselves;

• Go for a walk or jog, go to the gym, or engage in sports as a means to release adrenaline. When we are reviewing for the exams, our body prepares for fight or flight the same way that it does in an emergency. During the actual exam, our body goes into fight mode, but since taking an exam is more of a mental activity, examinees do not get the chance to physically release the adrenaline. Hence, it is important to find a physical activity that will facilitate the release of adrenalin and calm our nerves;

• Get reconnected with friends and family. If you reviewed for the boards like the way this blogger did, then you would have spent the last few months of your waking hours immersed in review classes, reading books, and doing practice tests leading up to the exam virtually alienating you from friends and families. Now is a good time to get in touch with them;

• Do the things that you enjoy doing. It can be anything. If you are into online games, airsoft, blogging, travel, chatting, surfing, biking, mountain climbing, clubbing, or simply hanging out with friends. Now is a good time for it. Anything that will get your mind off the exams is good; and finally

• If you are a spiritual person, pray. They say that prayer is a very powerful tool. Regardless of your religious affiliation, it is always comforting to know that a higher being looks after you in one way or another.

CESDEV NURSING INVADES USC TO SERVE


BY LEO LASTIMOSA

Inanay nang gitak-opan ang nagkalainlaing mga pangalagad sa Grand Halad sa Kapamilya nga gipahigayon sa USC Main campus. Apan wa pa gihapon mohubas ang bagang duot sa katawhan nga nagtapok dinhi aron pagtabang ug pagpahimus sa gitanyag nga mga hinabang.

Mao ni mahitabo nako sa matag Halad: Di lang gihapon ko katuo ug wa lang gihapon ko'y mga pung nga ikahubit sa katahom sa talan-awon kon mag-abot nang mga kapamilya nga may katakos sa pagtabang ug ang mga kapamilya nga labing nagkinahanglan og tabang. Ang bugtong mahimo mao na lang ang pagpasalamat nga sa makausa pa nahimo na sab ming taytayan aron magkaabot ang mga sakop sa makitawhanon ug manggihatagon nga katilingban.

Mapasalamaton kaayo ang mga nangapil sa tibuok adlaw nga Halad. Ang mga nagpakitabang, bisan wa tingali mahatagi sa tanan nilang panginahanglan, natagbaw nang namauli sa ilang mga pinuy-anan. Labaw'ng mapahiyumon ang mga nitanyag sa ilang hinabang.

Bisan sa kadako sa ilang gasto, sa ilang kahimanan, katigayonan, katakos ug panahon. Alang nila duna gyo'y mas gamhanan pa nga puwersa nga nipuno sa ilang kasingkasing ug nipaawas sa ilang diwa.
