A film about dementia. Yes, it is opne of every person's worst nightmares. And yes, it is also one of my worst nightmares. No prevention, no cure. How could you ever forget the most important people in your life? How can you ever forget the people you have been with you in all the days of your life. And the wonder of all of these memory loss problems is that, the most important memories of love and happinness is never forgotten. Sad in one side because you forget a lot of memories, but happy in one side because you only remember what really makes you happy....

One of the client's problem is that he has built tolerance over pain medications and his family members were afraid that he has become addicted so they decided to reduce the dosage of the medication without consulting a physician. They would cut the medication in halves. After sometime, they realize that their father was no longer responsive. He began having shortness of breath, respiration began to slow below normal so as low as 9 cpm. He was rushed to the hospital and was given appropriate care.
Case Number 2:
Client W.B. a 48 year old client was not productive as he was in the past. In the past 6 months, he began to take in some substance to be more effective in his work. He lost one part time job that he has because he could not meet deadlines. He is always nauseated, vomits everywhere after taking in the substance and would experience clouding of the mind especially when he had more than enough of the substance. He became demanding and domineering, wanting to have the substance early in the morning and each and everyday. He would fight with his wife over his substance abuse. Eventually, his wife decided to divorce him. He was worst than ever and continuously took the substance over and over again.

UPDATING TRENDS FOR NURSING TUTORIALS!
Affiliate Nursing Tutorial Opens its doors to a more Comprehensive and Cost effective Tutorial Center
With the success of student nurses taking practice tests, downloading review modules and by receiving personal emailed reports through my website, maritessmanalangquintorn.weebly.com, an affiliate nursing tutorial has decided to tie up with my website to further enhance the knowldege of the students. International Academic Advancement Institute has decided to open its doors to a more comprehensive and cost effective tutorial center.
In my website, I have been conducting FREE online tutorials for nurses and student nurses to further enhance their knowledge and skills in nursing. One on one tutorials through Skype and YM has been a practice every 4:30-5:30pm or 8:30-9:30 pm depending on the number of registered enrolees.
Recently, some students have suggested to lengthen the number of hours per session and to lenghten the number of times a student may download and join the tutorial. The student is only alloted 3 FREE trial only and the rest of the sessions registered if the student still wants to continue with the tutorial is being paid per hour basis. The sessions per hour costs 500php per hour, and packaged as 5000php per ten sessions, which includes 7 modules, test taking strategies, and personalized nursing tutorials in NCP making, case presentations and/or whatever the student needs just like a regular tutorial. Students may pay their tutorial fees according to their option, wherein instructions are regularly sent through email and text messages.
Since the number of students have increased rapidly during the past few months, since the website started in June 2008, International Advancement Institute has decided to decrease the amount of fees and made another option for students. Students may enroll in groups (maximum of 5 students) and share the tutorial fee of 500php per hour. CC International believes that it may also enhance critical thinking in students and promotes good peer group studies and sessions.

Tuesday decides to die
I have been reading a book entitled "Veronika decides to die" and I was quite having a few insights while reading this. I cannot explain the feeling but somehow can realize that people may really never know the meaning of insanity.
Which made me ask my self? Am I insane? I do not know if you have asked that to your self, but then when I was reading the book, the question occurred to me for a couple of times.
These past few days, I have been depressed. Depressed due to reasons I cannot explain. I somehow feel alone, hopeless and has no one to turn to but myself. Quite sad and bitter as it may sound, but that is the truth. I have been trying to fight the depression but then I was acting like this is not me...
Going back to the book I have been reading, Veronika decides to die because she finds no meaning in her life. And I myself can realize, I am living not for myself but for others , which makes me find meaning to my life. But then, living with this kind of reason is not even living at all. Living for another person or being is living because you choose to not because you want to.
I do not know how long will I have this feeling. At least I can realize my emotions and somehow decipher what I plan to do. Oh no, my title does not speak for the plans that I have. My old self will probably die... but not me.

Letter from Lilian De Vera
I received this message through email and I felt horrible about the events. This message was forwarded to me by a friend, who the same with me, felt that some things should be done appropriately. I have not validated the content of this email, (well i'm not a detective for one) but then, it could serve as a reminder for all of us. Here it goes:
from Lilian de Vera…please read..
Two months ago I considered myself as one of those blessed and happiest
people on earth. Why not? I married a guy who was an epitome of kindness. A
guy who worshipped even the footsteps I made. More importantly, our union
blessed us with a daughter who not only became the main source of our
happiness….more so; she was the center of our lives.
We're simple folks who led a simple life. We felt the happiest even about
mundane things and inconsequential ones that most people would only take
for granted. Our joy mostly revolved on simple pleasures like a sudden trip
to Jollibee or a late night marauding of the fridge for any leftovers. A
perfect family with simple delights, dreams and aspirations………until that
fateful night on December 5, 2008.The day my husband and daughter were
taken away from me in a very violent way. That Friday night on December 5,
2008 marked the beginning of all the terror, anguish and misery in my life.
In keeping with my ritual or "panata" on every first Friday of every month,
I went to Quiapo Church on the above mentioned date to pay homage and
respect to the Almighty One. My husband and daughter were supposed to pick
me up in Pasay City after which we planned on giving our daughter a treat
to Jollibee. While riding the jeep, I tried to call my husband to tell him
that I was on my way to our meeting place. But despite all the calls I
made, my husband remained silent. A very unusual occurrence inasmuch as he
seldom missed my calls. Despite my trepidation and wonder, I took the next
jeep going home and prayed that everything was alright. I even promised to
myself that I would forgive my husband for not answering my calls and for
forgetting to pick me up.
I felt relieved when near our place my phone rung. Such relief was somehow
only momentary….in fact the phone call I got was the bearer of the worst
news in my entire life. My helper called, only to tell me that my husband
and daughter were shot to death by "men in uniform". The same men who were
sworned to protect innocent people from bad guys brutally slew the two most
important persons in my life. They were the same men whose sacred duty was
to preserve the lives of the public against all harm and danger. Yet…….they
were the same men who murdered my love ones in the most cruel, savage and
inhuman way.
My husband's face was unrecognizable because he was shot in the head at
close range while he was kneeling with his head bowed down.. My daughter's
young body was riddled with bullets, one hit her head, blowing her brains
out.., all from too powerful guns and ammunitions fired by the "men in
uniform" on two innocent and defenseless persons.
The "men in uniform" were allegedly on a mission to take some gang of
robbers victimizing people at large. The police shot the crosswind van my
husband and daughter were riding Based on some witnesses' narration, the
police sprayed bullets into the van despite the lack of provocation or
shots coming from the van. In his last effort to save their lives, my
husband grabbed my bloodied daughter and shielded her with his body while
trying to run away from the police and tried to get cover from a parked
jeepney My husband and daughter were so defenseless. How can you mistake a
child for a robber? How can you shot at someone who was already kneeling
with head bowed, an indication of helplessness.
My husband and daughter are gone…….forever. The pain I feel for their lost
is too much too bear. And the only thing that motivates me to go on with
life is the mission to seek justice for their senseless killing. If the
people who are responsible for their death will be punished, if I could
bring them the justice they so richly deserve, my pain would be alleviated.
The misery I will live by will be lessened. My husband and daughter will be
vindicated and I will learn to live the remaining years of my life in
peace..
Thus: I'm asking and begging everyone who will come across this
letter/e-mail to forward the same to all your relatives, friends, and
acquaintances. Help me bring my cause to the eyes of the people capable of
steering the wheel of justice to the right direction. Help me make the
loudest cry worthy of attention by those people in-charge in rendering
justice to those who deserve it.
Strength comes in numbers; it is where the impossible becomes possible. It
is also where the unattainable becomes achievable.
My heartfelt gratitude for everyone who will take a moment in their too
busy lives and forward this letter/e-mail to everyone they know. May God
always protect you and your love ones from all harm.
