Me, giving compressions to adult victim!!

Last February 15 and 16, we took a 2-day course of Basic Life Support Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (BLS-CPR) at Philippines National Red Cross Quezon City Chapter (PNRC QC). It’s a refresher course for us since our license has just expired. You have to renew it every year by taking the 2-day course again.

Eiris, too shy to give mouth-to-mouth with her child victim. Don’t be shy at the actual scene ok!!!! Hehehe.

Our 2-day course costs P600 inclusive of certification, a Bronze Philippine National Red Cross card, and handouts.

Playing dead with victims..

Other PNRC courses

• 6-day course – Standard First Aid (AFA) and Basic Life Support (BLS). P1,200
• 2-day course – Basic Life Support only. P600
• 1-month course – Swimming, Disaster Management Training, Standard First Aid, Basic Life Support, Fire Intervention, etc. I forget what are the others, but sure it is fun. P1,600

They have various programs and other services and trainings, I just forgot what are those. If you are interested, please call 920-36-72 or 433-21-51.

Role playing game, inggiterang nanay…

It’s not required to be a doctor or a nurse. As long as you are interested in saving other people’s lives, you can take the course. If you have questions, you can also drop me a message here.

Note: Comments are disabled in this blog post as a lot of readers think that I’m from Red Cross, in fact, I’m not. Please contact Philippine National Red Cross directly! Please call 920-36-72 or 433-21-51.

Bloggers from Philippines

It has come to my attention that Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards featured a Win an Exclusive to Invites to Uniquely Singapore. Together with my blogpals, we career the Pringles and Uniquely Singapore blog posts and thinking positively, we prepare our passports.

Can someone tell me what exactly are these? It looks like cargo ships. But cargo ships of what. Interesting

Arrival time at Changi Airport is 9:20 in the morning (no time difference from PH). Changi airport is way peaceful than of Manila. No picture taking allowed but I attempted and a lady-like-lesbian airport officer come and told me to delete the photo I took.

At the waiting area, while everyone is lined up in the Money Changer booth, Nuffnang Co-Founder, Ming Shen, welcomes us Filipino bloggers.

Ming Shen with Jehzeel Laurente

This is it. I am wowed. It’s time to go Link Hotel. I still can’t believe that my feet is touching the land of Singapore. The feeling is great and the atmosphere is good. Trees are everywhere. No single piece of trash.

On our way to Link Hotel, I am really awed by the cars as it looks like they are all brand new. I also notice that there is no smoke coming from the vehicles.

Due to curiosity, we asked a Singaporean taxi driver why is it that all vehicles in the country are clean. He told us that it’s part of their Road Rules and Regulations. Have a clean car and wash it at least twice a day. *wowed*

At the Link Hotel, everyone is waiting for 2 o’clock, the time of check in. Link Hotel is one of the prestigious botique-style hotel in Singapore located at Tiong Bahru.

Frances enjoyed looking at the photos while at Link Hotel.

Hot sunny day welcomes us. We headed to the nearest food chain in Tiong Bahru road.

Jehzeel, Mica and Yoshke.

While in PH duck is expensive and served in selected restaurants, in SG, duck is an ordinary food which can be bought anywhere at a cheap price.

Char Siew Mee (Asado) for $2.50

The food satisfies our stomach. We are hyper and energetic, enough to do camwhoring. The place we chose is covered with trees and grass, so much to relax after being full from the char siew.

Clockwise: Maki, Hannah, Yoshke, Jehzeel, Mica, and My Brute live action.

What comes after camwhoring is exhaustion. Finally, the clock hits the target time of checking in. Together with my assigned roomate Mica, we immediately unpack our luggage. The room has a big television but we did not use it; instead, we listen to the relaxing music from iPod and get some rest.

<
Mirror camwhore.

Suddenly, we realize that both of us didn’t bring soap, so we plan to buy soap at the nearest store. And we found about this Cheers mini store (located on 1st floor of Link Hotel). But OMFreakinGGuh how come they don’t sell soap!! What the freakin hell!!

We look idiot looking for soap until someone told us that Singaporeans don’t use bar soap which we are trying to look for because they uses liquid soap!

Time for some rest in preparation for the biggest event ever held by Nuffnang, the Asia-Pacific Blog Awards.

Bloggers from Australia

I’m pretty sure they are bloggers from Malaysia. It’s a back shot while we camwhore at the stage. Joining them at the photo op would be fun, but we didn’t had the chance to sneak in.

Pan Pacific Hotel

Pan Pacific Hotel served their best food starting with nonstop bread and butter, appetizer consist of ham, tomatoes and other veggies, main dish of chicken with mushrooms, veggies, delectable corn, and mashed potato (not sure if it’s potato), and a sweet dessert.

Awards night were also presented by Allan Wu, J C Sum & ‘Magic Babe’ Ning, and indie band Electrico.

Two pinoy made it to the top. Filipino Australian Arnold Aranez (A pinoy in Australia) of Mr Gadget won the Best Geek Blog and Ferdz Decena of Ironwulf won the Best Travel Blog.

Xiaxue bags 3 awards during the night under Most Influential, Best Blog Design, and Region’s Best Blog.

Other winners include Bonito Chico for Best Blog Shop, Kennysia Best for Entertainment Blog, Joanne Peh for Best Celebrity Blog, Childhood101 for Best Parenting Blog, Lady Melbourne for Best Fashion Blog, ieat-ishoot-ipost for Best Food Blog, and The Doodle Blog for Best Hidden Gem. Jayden bags the $5000 for the Best Krrunchy Video.

It’s a long day and I really didn’t feel tired. Probably, I don’t want to end the day and take more photos from the event.

Congratulations to all the winners and Nuffnang for making this big event possible! You can check out other photos from this album: Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards Night Photos.

On June 25, 2009, Zest Airways Flight 863, with 54 passengers and five crew aboard, overshot the runway when it landed at Godofredo P. Ramos Airport, Caticlan. There were no injuries.

I didn’t mind the history of Zest Air. My flight only cost P976 (round trip) since lately, no bad news about Zest Air flights. I trust Bro

It’s raining hard in Manila, fortunately there were no flight problems or long delays. My flight Z2 839 was scheduled at 8:05 AM. Delayed flights is inevitable, good thing it is only 10-minute delay and boarded at 8:15 AM.

Zest Air planes are small, but the interior is refreshing, cool, and new.

There were only few people. I chose not to sit on the designated seat number instead, I pick a random seat near the window!

I was praying the whole time LOL!

We landed safely to Mactan Airport and it’s very sunny. See there were only few passengers LOL.

While in the cab of Mandaue City. Dili ko bai! Marco Polo ta ‘nong!

On my next post, stay tuned as Nyok nyok bloggers conquered Cebu!
