Random Thoughts: Facebook Edition 1

Of course. Everyone has to have one. From the socially established Unit 21 Pharmacist to the sexually-preoccupied radiology porter and the reluctant soda vendor at Hyper One, they all have one unique thing in common: a Facebook account.

Otherwise, you’re a social outcast. Or so they say. Nyahaha.

So, what the heck. In relation to this so-called “social phenomenon,” I decided to collect a number of distinctive, emotional, and stylish shout-outs from my friends that seriously made me think. Hmmm…

Anyways, enjoy them as much as I did!

• Rhea Capuyan is watching ENOUGH!
• Nelson Tiongson oh you know when you yearn for something yet you can’t have today.
• Christine Joy U. Querebillo May link na ba sa Championship game???
• Don Ato “In able to be a good nurse, you should be selfless.” —- too tough to be one..
• Jennifer Calpatura hindi lang pera ang nag papasaya sa tao…
• Nemfa Sarte if i were a boy…
• Rai Ramos: it’s sinking in..
• Mark Prado I feel the air in my head. I’m floating. I need a break.
• John Camu lipat flat today… yey! c:
• Earl Paulo Diaz When you’re lost in love, you never wanna be found.
• Juan Paulo Gultiano “And I know it was me who called it over but I still wish you’d fought me ’till your dying day. Don’t let me get away.” Split Screen Sadness, John Mayer

I’ll try to assemble another army of shout-outs some time soon. I just can’t wait! Yippee!

Coffee, anyone?

A Nurse’s Note discovers…

Yes, this will be one of those travel series that I PLAN to accomplish some time soon. *fingers-crossed*

I’ve always wanted to travel; seeing new places, meeting all sorts of people, and discovering hidden treasures entice the inner kid in me. Haha. Unfortunately, I never had the necessary resources to accomplish this so-called “want.” *sigh*

Now, with my current residence here in Egypt and not-that-big of a paycheck, I can finally help my dying world map! Yipeee! I want to make the most out of the time I have left here in Egypt. And what better way to do that than explore all the nifty sights and sounds as fast and as soon as possible. The clock is ticking, Paulo! Tick. Tick. Tick.

Of course, I’ve been to a couple of places here in Egypt and I, again, PLAN to share my escapades to the world wide web some time soon. Again. Please, patiently wait of my posts, okay?

Coffee, anyone?

I want an AVATAR!

I want one! I want one! I want an avatar! Haha.

“Do you wanna date my avatar? She’s a star.” – Super funny!

Coffee, anyone?

Marshmallow Test

Awww. How nice. I want a marshmallow too! Grrr.

Marshmallow, anyone?

To Whom It May Concern:

Greetings in the name of Saint Thomas Aquinas!

I would like to file a formal complaint to (Name Here), (Position Here), regarding a breech in confidentiality concerning the state of my health.

It has been brought to my attention that the aforementioned name has explicitly revealed the true nature of my health to an individual who has no professional connection to this distinguished institution.

I was expecting that this sensitive matter, my health and its present status, would not leave the bounds of this establishment. Unfortunately, it already did.

I am looking forward to any response from your good office to this unprofessional conduct.

Sincerely,

Juan Paulo G. Gultiano, RN

Staff Nurse, Unit 12

***

In a few days time, I will be passing this letter to the nursing office against an individual I truly admire, in relation to work.

You know who you are. What you did was seriously below the belt. If we were back in the Philippines, I’d file this complaint to the Professional Regulatory Commission, Board of Nursing (PRC-BON) to revoke your license.

Sheesh. What a low life.

This has to end. And, unfortunately, I will be the person who will end it. Just wait and see.

When Love Takes Over – David Guetta feat. Kelly Rowland

It’s complicated, it always is
that’s just the way it goes
Feels like I’ve waited so long for this
I wonder if it shows?
Head under water now I can breath
it never felt so good.
Cause I can feel it coming over me
I wouldn’t stop it if I could

When love takes over, (yeah-ah-eah)
You know you can’t deny
When love takes over, (yeah-ah-eah)
Cause something’s here tonight

Give me a reason, i gotta know
Do you feel it too?
Can’t you see me here on overload
And this time I blame you
Mmmm, Looking out for you to hold my hand
It feels like I could fall
Now love me right, like I know you can
We could loose it all

When love takes over (yeah-ah-eah)
You know you can’t deny
When love takes over (yeah-ah-eah)
‘Cause something’s here tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight,
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight,
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight,
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight,

And i’ll be loving you all the time, it’s true
Cause i’ll wanne make it right, with you

When love takes over (repeat 7x)
Over (repeat 10x)

When love takes over (yeah-ah-eah)
You know you can’t deny
When love takes over (yeah-ah-eah)
‘Cause something’s here tonight

Grrr. I just can’t take this song out of my freaking head! It soooo nice!

Coffee, anyone?

MacBook, anyone?

My first Apple MacBook! Yippee!

Yes, you read the title correctly.

After a year of patience, combined with a million and one prayers, I finally got my very first Apple Macbook! *clap*clap*clap*

I was supposed to buy it after my usual “Thursday Thing”. Unfortunately, my Id was so eager to get rid of my cash that I dashed to Mohandessin, Cairo by wednesday night at around 2230! Yikes! Haha.

Anyways, this long planned event will now lead to an updated version of this blog *fingers-crossed* discussing some of my nursing experiences here in Egypt. That would be very, very intriguing.

Split Screen Sadness – John Mayer

And I don’t know where you went when you left me but
Says here in the water you must be gone by now
I can tell somehow
One hand on the trigger of a telephone
Wonderin’ when the call comes
Where you say it’s alright
You got your heart right

Maybe I’ll sleep inside my coat and
Wait on your porch ‘till you come back home
Oh, right
I can’t find a flight

We share the sadness
Split screen sadness

Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight
Two wrongs make it all alright tonight

“All you need is love” is a lie ’cause
We had a love but we still said goodbye
Now we’re tired, battered fighters

And it stings when it nobody’s fault cause there’s
Nothing to blame At the drop of your name
It’s only the air you took and the breath you left

So maybe I’ll sleep inside my coat and
Wait on your porch ’til you come back home
Oh, right
I can’t find a flight
So I’ll check the weather wherever you are
Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight
It might be my only right

We share the sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
Split screen sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
We share the sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
Split screen sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)

I called
because
I just
Need to feel you on the line
Don’t hang up this time
And I know it was me who called it over but
I still wish you’d fought me ‘til Your dying day
Don’t let me get away

Cause I can’t wait to figure out what’s wrong with me
So I can say ‘this is the way that I used to be
There’s no substitute for time
Or for the sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
Split screen sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
We share the sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
Split screen sadness
(two wrongs make it all alright tonight)
Oh and the sadness
It’s alright, it’s alright
Oh and the sadness
It’s alright, it’s alright
Oh and the sadness
It’s alright, it’s alright

Back In Time – Kyla feat. Jay-R

[Jay R]
How have you been
The last time I saw you
We graduated high school
I can’t believe it’s been 2 years since then

[Kyla]
I’ve been okay
Nothing much has changed
Still doing the same old thing

[Jay R]
Oh may I take a little bit of your time

[Kyla]
No, I don’t think that would be possible

[Jay R]
Why do you have a boyfriend

[Kyla]
No, I broke it off 2 months ago

[Jay R]
If you don’t mind
I’d like to get your number
And maybe reminisce together
Is that alright

[Kyla]
I don’t mind.
Would love to get together (No doubt)
In fact tonight I’d rather (Yeah)
Go back in time

[Chorus]
I wanna go back into time
Now rewind back in the day
When nothing really mattered
Just let go let me take control
Just follow the signs
Let’s go back in time (Let’s go back in time)
Let’s go back in time (Let’s go back in time)
Let’s go back in time (Let’s go back in time)
Let’s go back in time (Let’s go back in time)

[Jay R]
Now here we are
Tell me everything about you
Where you go the things that you do
The things you like whatever is on your mind

[Kyla]
I just bought a house
Been half way ’round the world
Still not your ordinary girl

[Jay R]
I’ve always have had a little crush on you

[Kyla]
I can’t believe you felt that way too

[Jay R]
And after all this time I still think I do

[Kyla]
Boy for now just take me where

[Chorus]
I wanna go back into time
Now rewind back in the day (Hey)
When nothing really mattered
Just let go let me take control
Just follow the signs
Just follow the signs (Just go back in time)
Let’s go back in time (Let’s go back in time)
Let’s go back in time (Let’s go back in time)

[Jay R]
Girl I’m glad you came tonight

[Kyla]
What made you think I’d decline

[Jay R]
I haven’t seen you in a while
Still love that pretty smile

[Kyla]
I see you still haven’t changed
Still have your flirty ways

[Jay R]
Well, I can’t help it with you
You make me wanna go

[Chorus]
I wanna go back into time
Now rewind back in the day
When nothing really mattered
Just let go let me take control
Just follow the signs
Just go back in time

I wanna go back into time
Now rewind back in the day (Back in the day)
When nothing really mattered
Just let go let me take control
Just follow the signs
Just follow the signs (Let’s go back in time)
Let’s go back in time (Let’s go back in time)
Let’s go back in time (Let’s go back in time)
Let’s go back in time (Let’s go back in time)
Let’s go back in time (I wanna go back go back in time)
Let’s go back in time (Let’s go back go back)
Let’s go back in time

Call me corny, cheesy. or whatever. Seriously, I love this song. This is, in my own opinion, the next best thing to “Dilemna“(Kelly Rowland feat. Nelly) released eons ago! Very, very nice indeed.

Coffe, anyone?

What happened?!

Yes, that’s the same question that I have been asking myself lately. What happened, Juan Paulo G. Gultiano? What happened?!

As you can see, nothing decent or helpful can be read in my blog lately due to the nature of my work. This beloved blog of mine has suddenly become a barren and empty space in the world wide web. A stinking piece of crap that, I think, will soon be evicted in order to give way to new ones. *sigh*

Everything’s a blur, really; I’ve been moving here and there. Changing stuff from this to this. Calling people from the other side of the world. The change in time zones. The alarming heat. Helping those in need. Going to parties. Hearing stuff that I don’t really need to hear. Taking images from all angles. Answering calls from the other side of the building. Blah. Blah. Blah.

The dilemna here is what to do next: Will I succumb to this deadly routine and find myself lost or, most likely, dead in this dumb life of mine? Or will I stand up and be the man I’ve always wanted to be? *sigh*

Everyone.

Everywhere.

Everytime.

Everything.

All at once.
