PAPER BAGS AND MORE

My brother's penchant for collecting paperbags has been very chronic which sometimes brings me to the borderline in terms of patience. He still insists on getting paperbags from the Concierge of a department store even if the line is very long, collecting all the receipts so he could present it to redeem more paperbags, even getting out of a long line waiting for a taxi just to go and get his paperbags.

However, all these made sense to me now. He is collecting these so he could use the paperbags for his yearly outreach activity. Every December, he would ransack his closet and bring out items which he has not used for the year and decides to give these items to people in the streets. He would then place these items inside paperbags and off he would go to the streets to distribute them.

This year, I joined him in his activity, bringing some of the stuffs as we went to Magallanes underpass, Makati, Ortigas, Quezon City, Greenhills in San Juan and even to Baclaran. Along the way, we would hand out the paperbags to those who have less in life. Even if some of the items inside these bags are practically not new, we see to it that the receiver gets the respect and value that they deserve. Bisan dili bag-o ang among gipanghatag, malipayon gihapon silang nidawat, especially since these were placed inside nice paperbags - the paperbags that my brother labourly collected.

The sense of fulfillment is beyond words but more than that, I realized with great pride that the reason for my brother's penchant to collect paperbags was not because he wanted it for himself - he wanted it for others. Indeed, "not only to ourselves are we born."

CNN HERO OF THE YEAR 2009 : EFREN PENAFLORIDA

"Each person has a hidden hero within, you just have to look inside you and search it in your heart, and be the hero to the next one in need.

So to each and every person inside in this theater and for those who are watching at home, the hero in you is waiting to be unleashed.

Serve, serve well, serve others above yourself and be happy to serve.

As I always tell to my co-volunteers … you are the change that you dream as I am the change that I dream and collectively we are the change that this world needs to be.”

SHARING THE BLESSINGS

"Go give to the needy sweet charity's bread.
For giving is living," the angel said.
"And must I be giving again and again?"
My peevish, petulant answer ran.
"Oh, no," said the angel, piercing me through,
"just give till the Master stops giving to you."

With Ma'am Rose Tan and kids, this blogger joined the patrol around the city last December 21 to share the blessings that God has given us. Ma'am Tan prepared chocolate cupcakes and ube cake while this blogger contributed juice drinks. We roamed the city during the night when most of the homeless street kids and their families were about to end their day's search for subsistence. We distributed the juice drinks and the cupcakes to them. Such was a very fulfilling experience ... something that we wish to do again next year. God bless everyone!

PAYAPANG DAIGDIG

DON'T GIVE UP - GROW UP!

“God has a purpose behind every problem. He uses circumstances to develop our character”. Every problem is a character building opportunity and the more difficult it is, the greater the potential for building spiritual muscle and moral fibre. Paul said, "We know that these troubles produce patience. And patience produces character." What happens outwardly in your life is not as important as what happens inside you. Your circumstances are temporary, but character will last forever".

Character building is a slow process. Whenever we try to avoid or escape the difficulties in life, we short-circuit the process, delay our growth, and actually end up with a worse kind of pain - the worthless type that accompanies denial and avoidance. When you grasp the eternal consequences of your character development, you'll pray fewer, "comfort me" prayers ("Help me feel good"), and instead more of "Conform me" prayers ("Use this to make me more like you").

If you are facing trouble right now, don't ask, "Why me?" Instead ask, "What do you want me to learn?" Then trust God and keep on doing what's right. "You need to stick it out, staying with God's plan so you'll be there for the promised completion."

Don't give up - grow up!

THE EVE OF CHRISTMAS

Christmas! The very word brings joy to our hearts. No matter how we may dread the rush, the long Christmas lists for gifts and cards to be bought and given--when Christmas Day comes there is still the same warm feeling, the same warmth that enfolds our hearts, our families, and our homes.

SPINNING FIRE

Are you a poi spinner ready to take it to the next level? Want to learn how to spin FIRE? Well, you can! Just follow these instructions and get ready to light up! These instructions are for people who are already familiar with and skilled at spinning poi. Please do not attempt fire poi if you are not prepared for it.

Things You'll Need:

•A pair of fire poi.
•A can of white gas
•A metal bucket large enough to soak your wicks in
•A lighter or matches
•A safety blanket or a large, wet towel
•A safety person, who can help you put out the fire when you're finished and who can also make sure you don't catch on fire
•A fire extinguisher, just in case!

Step 1
Place your poi wicks in the empty bucket, making sure the handles are outside of the bucket. Pour the white gas over the wicks, soaking them completely. Let the wicks soak for 1-3 minutes.

Step 2
Carefully remove the poi from the soaking bucket. Walk a safe distance away from the area where you'll be lighting up, and spin the soaked poi using several forceful downward motions to remove any excess fuel. Your spin-out is best done onto a tarp, but if that isn't possible, try sand, dirt, or old concrete. White gas will evaporate quickly on the surface.

Step 3
Walk back to your "stage" area. Hold your poi arm's length in front of you. Have your safety person light the wicks. Start spinning your poi!

Step 4
Spin until the flames go out! If the poi chains are tangled, you can put them out at the same time, but it's easier one at a time.

MANITO-MANITA

Christmas is the season of gift giving. In keeping with the tradition of giving, Filipinos have their own version of exchanging gifts or Kris Kringle, it is called "Manito Manita". This is usually done among groups of friends, classmates or officemates.

The mechanics of exchanging vary, some can be as simple as asking the participants to bring a gift, on an agreed amount which are later on raffled off to the participants, on Christmas Party.

Others starts several weeks ahead of the gift-giving time which is usually the Christmas party. All participant's name are put in a box and each member will draw a name from the box and whoever you got will be your Manito/Manita and you have to buy a Christmas present for him/her. You cannot reveal your Manito/Manita's name- it will be a secret until the revelation day.

The slideshow that preceedes this article presents the revelation of Manitos and Manitas among the faculty members of the College of Nursing of University of Cebu during their Christmas Party in UCLM.

TABANG WALAY SUKOD

by Leo Lastimosa

Talagsaong pasundayag sa paghinatagay ang among nasaksihan sa Maranatha Word Outreach Christian Center sa Barangay San Roque, Dakbayan sa Sugbo. Naglumbay ang kaliboan ka katawhan, mga bata ug mga ginikanan, sa kadalanan palibot sa sentro nga nahimutang sa likoanan sa mga dan Burgos ug V. Gullas.

Matag tuig ning gihimo sa mga boluntaryo sa Marantha sa niaging 11 na ka tuig. Karong tuiga ang kinadak-an. Alas-siyete pa lang sa gabii sa Biyernes nagsugod na og linya ang mga tawo. Nagsugod pagpanghatag og mga hinabang sa alas-4:30 sa kadlawon sa Sabado. Ang among naabtan sa buhi nga pagsibya sa "Halad sa Kapamilya" sa ABS-CBN Cebu mao na lang ang ikog sa 8,500 ka putos sa bugas, sardinas ug noodles.

Ang lagda sa pagpanghatag yano ra. Si bisan kinsa makapahimus sa hinabang. Bisan asa sila gikan. Bisan unsay ilang kahugpongan. Di sila iphon isip usa ka pamilya. Matag usa nila, apil nang mga masuso pa, iphon isip usa ug pulos makadawat og samang putos. Hangtod nga mahurot nang giandam nga mga hinabang.

MARANATHA GIFT-GIVING ACTIVITY

Christmas evokes the goodness in us. Some 8,500 beneficiaries - mostly children while a few of them parents and elderly from depressed areas here in the city - lined up as early as 4 a.m. today to receive gift bags containing packs of noodles, bags of rice, and cans of sardines.

The Simbahang Pambata Ministry of the Maranatha Christian Fellowship sponsored the annual Christmas party inside its headquarters at the Maranatha World Outreach Center in corner P. Burgos and V. Gullas (formerly Manalili) Streets. The three-hour program included snacks, games, and speeches. This is the eleventh year that Ministry head Jesse Saberon and his colleagues have organized the party, which he said is important to show that “whatever we have, we share”.

Saberon said that the budget allocation of 300 sacks of rice, 150 boxes of sardines, and 210 boxes of noodles came from “benevolent people” like businessmen, students, ministry members, and “those who want to remain anonymous”. He said that it is the ministry’s vision to make every Christian happy in little ways they could.

Ruby Salutan, administrator of the said ministry, said that the gift-giving started with “purely” children, but eventually they noticed that some parents and adults came so that they began accommodating them.

“God did not qualify whom to help… mao nga kung puwede tanan matabangan, among tabangan,” she said. CESDEV Nursing provided the needed support by donating canned goods and noodles. Also present during the activity were first year student nurses who expressed interest in joining CESDEV.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOSHUA!

ZIPLINING IN CEBU

A zip-line is an aerial runway consisting of a cable suspended on a pulley system and mounted on an incline. It is designed to enable a user to use gravity to travel from the top to the bottom of an inclined cable through a free-moving pulley. The cable is made of stainless steel, making sure that even those on the heavy side can enjoy the thrill.

Around the Philippines, there are several zip-line courses available to the public, but there are none yet in Cebu City. Most of them are also quite expensive, and can only cater to the higher middle class and up categories. But a group of Cebuanos, involved in the teaching of arnis, wants to change that.

The Doce Pares Organization, led by Grandmaster Dionisio “Diony” Canete, who along with his son, Gerald Canete, have decided to add zip-lining into their training regimen, making it the first zip-line course in Cebu. They specialize in the teaching of Kali Eskrima also known as “arnis” to aspiring students both young and old, Pinoys and foreigners alike and their school in Sto. Nino Village has attracted hundreds of visitors.

To develop their skills in the sport, they decided to incorporate other specializations like kickboxing, grappling, and various rope courses which include zip-line. Wanting to offer something new with Eskrima, as well as to the Cebuanos, they put up a park in Malubog, Busay which is right next to the road leading to Tops Skyline Garden.

The park, which opened to the public last November, is both a training ground for Eskrima students and a getaway haven for adventurers and ordinary people alike. The main attraction is the 180-meter long zipline course—a fun ride to experience—that not only gives users the adrenaline rush but also a picturesque view of Cebu City.

According to Gerald, most of the materials used for the zip line were made right here in Cebu by local folks who were enthusiastic about the course. These were adventurers by heart, and they helped them out by providing the needed materials in building the course.

Some of the materials were acquired in the US, but Gerald said they preferred to get the materials locally if they were available. But they always made sure that safety was always of the utmost importance. They also said that the park will be affordable to people of all ages, because they want the Cebuanos to enjoy it to the fullest. The entrance fee is pegged at P20 per person, while the zip line course is P100 per two rides—much cheaper compared to the other courses available in the Philippines.

LOCATION VISIT

The Community Extension Services and Development (CESDEV) of the College of Nursing wishes to celebrate the achievements and activities that were successfully implemented for the year 2009. Last year, CESDEV Nursing had its celebration in Portofino Beach Resort. This year, CESDEV Nursing will be celebrating in the mountain areas of Barangay Busay, Cebu City. A previous visit to the location was impressive, but it was already nighttime thus this blogger revisited the place along with some friends to validate the terrain, accommodation, and other amenities that the Doce Pares Zipline could extend.

WHAT IS JCI ?

Joint Commission International (JCI) was established in 1997 as a division of Joint Commission Resources, Inc. (JCR), a private, not-for-profit affiliate of The Joint Commission. JCI extends The Joint Commission’s mission worldwide by assisting international health care organizations, public health agencies, health ministries and others to improve the quality and safety of patient care in more than 80 countries.

In September 2007, JCI received accreditation by the International Society for Quality in Health Care (ISQua). A non-profit, independent organization with members in more than 70 countries, ISQua is known as the accreditor of accrediting bodies. Accreditation by ISQua provides assurance that the standards, training and processes used by JCI to survey the performance of health care organizations meet the highest international benchmarks for accreditation entities.

In August 2005, the World Health Organization (WHO) designated The Joint Commission and JCI as the world’s first and only WHO Collaborating Centre dedicated solely to patient safety (http://www.ccforpatientsafety.org/). By working collaboratively with ministries of health, national patient safety organizations and experts, health care professional organizations, and patient/consumer groups, the Collaborating Centre focuses worldwide attention on Patient Safety Solutions, Patient Safety Practices and other issues related to reducing safety risks to patients.

High 5s Project: This project was established in 2007 by the Collaborating Centre to implement innovative, standardized operating protocols for five patient safety solutions over five years. This initiative seeks to leverage the implementation of solutions that would have broad impacts in preventing avoidable catastrophic adverse events — such as death or serious injury — in hospitals.

The following five solution areas have been selected as the focus of the High 5s Project:

Prevention of patient care hand-over errors
Prevention of wrong site/wrong procedure/wrong person surgical errors
Prevention of continuity of medication errors
Prevention of high concentration drug errors
Promotion of effective hand hygiene practices

JCI’s Accreditation Program was launched in 1999. The standards were developed by international experts and set uniform, achievable expectations for structures, processes and outcomes for health care organizations. The requirements for accreditation also include international patient safety goals that highlight problematic areas in health care and describe evidence and expert-based consensus solutions to these problems. The survey process is designed to accommodate specific legal, religious and cultural factors within a country. JCI offers accreditation for hospitals, ambulatory care facilities, clinical laboratories, care continuum services, medical transport organizations and primary care services; and certification in disease- or condition- specific care.

JADECAN'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

A VOLUNTEER IS ...

“A volunteer is a person whose charity is fidelity, who is faithful in an unfaithful world, grateful in an ungrateful world, giving when all about are grasping, listening when others need to tell about their fears and problems.” — from The Beacon

CHONG HUA HOSPITAL IS JCI-ACCREDITED

CHONG Hua Hospital (CHH) in Cebu City has earned accreditation from the Joint Commission International (JCI), putting it at par with the best health-care institutions in the world and allowing it to better position itself as a destination for foreign patients seeking treatment in the country.

“Health-care organizations around the world want to create environments that focus on quality, safety and continuous improvement,” said Karen Timmons, chief executive officer of JCI. “Accreditation meets this demand by stimulating continuous, systematic improvements in an organization’s performance and the outcomes of patient care. The community should be proud that Chong Hua Hospital has made a commitment to quality and safety.”

JCI’s on-site evaluation of CHH, conducted by a team of international health-care experts, including a doctor, nurse and administrator, was conducted in October.

“We sought accreditation because we want to provide the best care possible for outpatients,” said Lim Liu, CEO of CHH. “Earning accreditation from JCI is another step toward excellence.”

JCI is dedicated to improving the quality of health care through voluntary accreditation. JCI’s uniform, high standards for patient care and safety are designed to be adaptable to local needs, thus accommodating legal, religious and cultural factors within a country.

Standards focus on the areas that most directly impact patient care. These include access to care, assessment of patients, infection control, patient and family rights, and education. Standards also address facility management and safety, staff qualifications, quality improvement, organizational leadership and management of information.

THE PNLE

The Philippine Nursing Licensure Exam (PNLE) is a 500-item multiple choice exam to test basic nursing level competency which considers the objectives of the nursing curriculum, the broad areas of nursing and other related disciplines and competencies.

Article IV, Section 12 of the Philippine Republic Act No. 9173 states that all applicants for license to practice nursing shall be required to pass a written examination, which shall be given by the Board of Nursing in such places and dates as may be designated by the Commission, provided that it shall be in accordance with Republic Act No. 8981, otherwise known as the PRC Modernization Act of 2000.

In order to pass the examination, an examinee must obtain a general average of at least seventy five percent (75%) with a rating of not below sixty percent (60%) in any of five test subjects.

THE POWER OF PRAYER

As the graduate nurses hurdled the board examinations, their clinical instructors were one in invoking the aid of the Almighty and summoned the power of prayers.

James 5:16-18 declares, "…The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops."

God most definitely listens to prayers, answers prayers, and moves in response to prayers.

UC GRADS WHO TOOK THE NOVEMBER 2009 PNLE

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

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.
