Me, MySeLF AnD I...

My post after a long time of absence

I've been focusing on my career these past few years.  No time to chat, to  moderate my sites, to do everything that I usually do when free time. Stress from work, from heavy traffic, and pressures in life.

Now I'm bringing it in. Making ways not to be different from the past. I have to enjoy life and not to be suppressed. Why should I be suppressed huh?

This is me and I am me!

So what about work? You work because you need it? Because you need to earn money? Work like a rat? No way!

Work as like a hobby, something that interests you. Not being like prisoner...

Just for an update, I'm trying to know more about a girl. This girl is tall and has great personality. A perfect package, a perfect girl. How I wish that I can be with her...

NURSING BOARD...Who's gonna PAY?

I'm also a professional particularly a licensed ECE. I just wonder about the recent nursing board. It's a burden for them, burden for other registered nurses, problems on employment either local or abroad, and also an alarm for other professionals.

The time I've taken the board, while having the exam I came to think about what kind of professional regulation do we have. It's a professional regulation but they themselves doesn't have the quality and regualtion for the exam.

On my experience (ECE License Board), they gave a bonus for a question which they thought the given data where incomplete. But actually there is a certain principle behind it and can be answered even the data is incomplete. So many questions with misspelled words, wrong item asked, wrong units, typographical errors, etc. Damn! It's a professional regulation!

On the results, my scores were lower than I expected. Specially math! I aimed to be a topnotcher that time and until now I can't accept the result. I studied hard, which almost made me frustrated and sacrificed everything. Every minute was crucial, I even study while on a bus. I read several books, e-books, surf the net, magazines, etc...which might have at least relevance to the possible questions in the exam.

To think of the hardships of the nursing students who took the board last June, they gave all their best! Taking again the said board is unnecessary! Admit it guys, fellow professionals, once the board is over, the things that we had acquired and read were all gone though some retains. It would be hard for them to prepare for it again if that happens.

What will happen for retaking the exam? A student who fails then retaking it and passed? A student who passed then retaking it and failed? What the heck!!!

Being strict for the employment of this batch of nurses? What the hell! It's unfair! The PRC should be reformed!

How did the leakage happened? Why there were leakages? Pointing out the culprits is one major step but it must not end there! They should be more strict and be more professional and have some quality exams! I'm a QC Engineer and what always on my mind is being ahead of time. Answering the problem is not just pointing out the cause but also preventing it to happen again and being ahead before a posssible problem would occur.

Career in the Philippines

Tell me what's your profession? Is that your career you're working on? What can you say about your work? Your salary? Your working environment? Your boss? Your company? The industry?

Have you thought of this, "Am I enjoying my career here in the Philippines? Will I stay on this career forever? In this company? In this indsutry?

How's your salary? Your promotion? Your boss? Your company? The industry?

Why so many professionals have no work but instead engaged in an industry different from their career? Professionals but working 180' different from their profession? Professional work has lower salary than a non pro work? Why? Why do doctors rather want to be a nurse? Why do doctors, engineers, architects, etc. end in a call center industry? For worst, end to nothing!?

Individuals from call centers have higher salary than the one who designed the products they provide for?

Do you know that jeepney drivers or any non pro occupation tends to have higher income than professionals? Example: bus, jeepney, taxi, drivers, balot vendor, taho vendor. They dont pay tax!

Figure this: A bus driver normally gets P1000 in one day (8hrs). Don't react on this but its true! I had a feasibility study about e-fare system on aircon buses so I'd also studied this. P1K a day and no tax to pay! (I'm saying tax over their income just what professionals have...on their salary)

Many professionals rather work abroad than to rot here on its own land. Why? What are the professional development we can have here? Work as a professional and develop yourself a mm higher or even microns higher. Damn your slower than a snail or a turtle! Damn it! (Coz of crab mentality, work environment, lack of interest on work, not the chosen career, etc.!)

CAREER HERE IS DEAD!!! Just to stay alive and kickin' you need to be wise, disregard professionalism and the career you want, and pray for luck!

The best line I can describe a career here: "I would rather be a seller than to be the inventor or designer of what I sell." "If ever Einstein, Watts, Maxwell, Edison, Faraday live during this time, they will be regarded as rats and pests." "From what we have now, following their footsteps would mean craziness...so sad."
