I don't know how to start it all,,I just want to remember Manang Lita,, she was so kind, lively, down to earth, low profile old lady side walk vendor in the street of San Pedro beside Mercury Drug Store. She was vending since 1974, I could always see here smiling at me whenever she sees me in my white nurse uniform.. she always utter "pusturawo kaayo ka sa imong uniform oi " Pusturawo means good posture in wearing uniform.I could always remember her as a lady who loves to ask how are you doing? and even where you came from?she used to eat beside her small sidewalk store having only rice and a piece of fry fish for lunch and she has to left something for her dinner. She covers her face with small face towel when the sunlight will point on her direction in the afternoon. Manang Lita don't show any hardships she had in the sidewalks for 36 years,, her smiles and jolly style of talking to persons close to her..sometimes there were Sundays I sit with her chatting she usually offers me her small wooden chair,,some students of mine happens to witness me when thet pass by after attending mass at San Pedro Cathedral. I rememeber I bought Manang Lita 2 doughnuts from Dunkin accross and she was smiling and said " tam-is kaayo na sya no?".That taste so sweet.. and I said its okay just take it., I can recall I bought her a medium can of biscuits I can't recall what brand..she was very appreciative at all times..She mentioned how small her house in Sto.nino in Matina although I havem't seen it but I am pretty sure it is true,,she never failed to asked me how am I doing with my work?..How's life for me then? //One time she showed me her "last two" ticket bet,,I know she needs more funds as she is maintaining her medications for hypertension,,,She never uttered asking for to buy medicine..Manag Lita is a person who I could imagine selling on the sidewalk for 3 decades wtihout any complaints from her face the word " contented " fits everything for he.. She is happy along the sidewalk on all weather,,she said that every december her sales went up a little,,she likes Christmas that much..WhenI was writing this article I was praying that I can find someone who can help me lead to her, I try linking this article in my facebook account when a student of mine Greg Gruyal commented that Manang Lita was his neighbor,,I told him that I will talk to him in school,,God answers prayer to my question..I drived one Sunday morningpassing by the same old place and I was able to talk to a vendor who is also a friend of Manang, she told me that days before she noticed a happy and smiling Manang Lita yet there were no signs or gestures of manifesting a forever departure, I told her that i will be back someday for more stories she could share for it is my mission of sharing to the whole world how sorry I am and how denials still play around in me ..I have just talk to Chery Ann a neigboring vendor with Manang Lita last Sunday.. Lastly, thank you to batangyagit for giving me the chance to relate this and to Jehzlau for sponsoring the prize.

HOSTAGE CRISIS IN THE PHILPPINES A WASTE
I had a chance to view the Television set by 6:30pm when I came home from work. The very first thing that comes into my mind is that this crisis will just end up peacefully since the hostage taker was a well decorated Policeman on the force, recipient of several awards and definitely an Idolized cop.Not until almost 8pm when I saw how this policemen arrested several members of the family of the hostage taker. First question that pop up on my mind is that why this people have been arrested? and yet they are not merely inside the bus where the actual site of the hostages. Who ordered the arrest of these individuals? I am just an ordinary civilian who has no knowledge on the given scenario but on that moment when I saw the video during the arrest of these persons, what came into my mind is that if I were the hostage taker it will irritate me and I might start firing one or two hostages in retaliation for arresting my brother or other members my family like a pig. I really was stunned when I saw this policemen in uniform pursuing the arrest. I laugh and I said to my self what a waste?.

SIDEWALK
The actual spot where Manang Lita used to put her small stall along San Pedro Street beside the Mercury Drug Store in Davao City, I took this picture myself the following morning after I started writing this article.This is where I used to see Manang Lita ever since I know her. It was now all empty theres a small signage says " NO VENDORS ALLOWED HERE" bacause as far as I can realized she is the only one who occupy this space and now its all history

Components of nursing knowledge; exploration of the nature of Theory of Development
Ernesto Tupas a friend of mine says that.. Applied theories in Nursing, as with other dynamic fields, constantly adapt to the ever-changing breakthroughs in science and technologies. This is why protocols and guidelines are, just like the Nursing Process, constantly evaluated and updated to reflect the availability and utilization of current technologies and techniques. This streamlines ... See Morethe delivery of care, ultimately improving communication flow within the interdisciplinary healthcare team, minimizing patient overall trauma, as well as LOS(length of stay) in the acute hospital setting. Saves everyone $$$$, too.

HONESTY IS SUCH A LOVELY WORD
The book of books said it takes a small as a seed of faith to move a mountain from the other. Sometimes I am just human enough to accept that I find it hard to believe. Even in the midst of everything you still has the bulk of doubts in you. everyone has been in this situation. Trust comes in the middle of faith but its too hard to core the trust and faith, whoever is in the inner and the outer of the circle. If you have just made a markings in one's life to beat the trust, its so hard to erase it from the very start,,you can never blame a situation where lies,lies, all lies has been cluster into. Trust play a major role in all settings, even in time of Jesus Christ where one of the disciples Judas betrayed Jesus..But it has been asked for several times even in times where you can be with the saviour still dishonesty exist.. Now in the our era it is always a disease that has no cure at all. Sometimes you can't blame that some are opted to do dishonesty because it creates a more meaningful and advantage over the honest to goodness. Even great Philosophers still has the "WAR" on either dishonesty still has an impact on the positive side rather that dishonesty. Some loved and prosper with dishonesty but some end their lives due to dishonesty.Still the bottom line is as long as were here in this world, we are bound to do honesty as far as the book said. Anyway the truth will set us free. (article made on one Sunday lazy afternoon ).

IF I WERE
If I were given a chance to go back in time I would probably change your attitude towards me. I would tell you if ever in the future you will get to know someone (me) be nice to him and he will be your caretaker for the rest of your life, he will be sharing all his care and love to you but please take care of him too, he will be yout provider, your look out, your knight and shinning armor.,he deserved to be treated as your significant person in your life, please don't hurt him internally for it will be the hardest and the most difficult would to be treated in any manner, what he is doing is not for him, its for you future and to be who you are,, show some respect to the person, i hope you delete some old things which is not goood for you. Finally, don't cursed him.
