I made this slideshow as a tribute to all my friends especiallyto the PG. First part are my duty days with them. The second part is a dedication to all of them. In no particular order ang apperance hah! Ano nga ba ibig sabihin ng PG? Well, Patay Gutom daw : )Yun kasi ang biruan namin everytime we are eating, panu ba naman“nothing goes to waste”..Pag hindi ko maubos, there’s always the others to the rescue. Kawawa nga ang aso at pusa pag kami ang kasama(wala na kasing lasa ang buto at tinik bago bitawan) ha!ha!

We came from different generations : Amor and me; Ja, Set and May; Arni, Zhel, Eph, Tin , Ron and Elda, but got along very well (minsan….. : > ) PG also stands for Puro Ganda, Puro Gorgeous, Puro Guapo, Puro Great, Pretty Girls, Pure Genius, I can go on and on../../.// Pero for me PG stands for friendship that will stand the test of time,( thanks to technology : } ).

I wanted to thank you all for coming into my life and making me feel “young, wanted and important” : ) I love yahhh all …..

“ I went to my garden, dear friend, best lover—breathedthe sweet fragrance. I ate the fruit and honey. I drankthe nectar and wine…Celebrate with me, friends….To life! To love! “ ( song of Solomon 5 :1 )

“ The good life begins in the fear of God. Do that and you’ll know the blessing of God. His Hallelujah last forever! ( Psalm 111:10)

With our CI sir Sandy.Had wonderful duty days there.Also learned a lot of things not only from our CI but also from our patients…

Most of them bumigay dahil sa problema sa buhay…sad but true : (

All of us have problems in life, its just a matter of how we deal with it…. With the help of friends and family .

Mga nurses po kami dito hindi pasyente!! : )

Last duty day, we did a dance presentation with our patients. Sayang bawal ang picture o video ( patient confidentiality ) sana napapanuod pa natin ang sayaw ni Eph.. : )

Swimming at Bataan beachSayang mga poor kami, we would have gone to Corregidor sanakung may extra cash pa kami..Maybe in the future makapuntakami…. I’ll wait for the day

Of course hindi mawawala ang food sa PG. Kahit medyo tight ang budget naminnabusog naman lahat.

Our duty for this time may OPD na, we got to see how the doctor assesess patients for admission. We got to see din how ECT is done and got to assist.

This was my only picture sa duty na yun, but I’m sure the rest have more pictures.With our CI sir Ronald. Medyo na high bloodSiya sa iba namin kagroup, but all is well that ends well.

2009 Dunkin Donut Morayta

Before umalis si Amor for Singapore,We went to PRC to get our licensecertificate. Parang padespididana din ni lola to” : )

Pag-Ibig B. Uy

We first met sa 5th floor library. Introduced by a common friend na hindi ko na maalala, ha!ha!

Then we ended up group mates nun naging magclassmate kasi nga magkalapit surname namin.

Had our share of “iyakan” and “away” but eventually ended up as good friends.

“ What does’nt breaks us, makes us stronger,so keep on praying my friend, everything will be fine, in His time“

Ma. Laarni Valdez

My anak anakan sa group kasi magka age lang halos kami ng mama niya. We alsoplayed mother and daughter sa HB project.

Ang “construction worker” sa group, grabe kung mag rice, saan kaya nilalagay??

Miss ko na mga kagagahan niya, walang “dull” moment pag kasama ‘tong si Arni.

Favorite niya asarin si Set, Ja and Amor.Minsan pati ako inookray ng loka.

I pray my dear na sana till the end na kayo.. I remember what you said dati. “ Si Juancho na talaga sana” : )

“ Life is what you make it to be. Takecare and God bless you all” : )

Cristine Tingson

Si Tin ang unang nahiwalay sa group.After nun 1st semester na magkaklasekami ,di na yata naulit. But we madesure that we got communication, (lalu na pag may quiz o exam, : ) )

I always knew she would be great insomething. I was right kasi ngayon respected CI na siya. “ Future ChiefNurse”.

Marami na rin akong nakita na luhang pumatak sa kanya. Maramina ding “red horse “ ang nabuksan nila..( coke o juice lang sakin eh! ) But eventually nalalam-pasan din niya.

“ Whoever wants to embrace life and see the day fill up with good, say nothing evil or hurtful ( 1 Peter 3 : 10)”

Ma. Justina G.. Zapanta

Si Ja medyo matagal na din kaming magkasama. We were always groupmate, ( obvious ba?/). Had a lot good and bad days together din. Although 10 years ang agwatnamin ( di lang halata..) she is the one I can always rely on pagdating sa emotional side.Maybe because she has a strong faith and “ malakas siya sa taas”.

The certified “sosi” ng group, pero kumakain ng “street foods” for the love of PG at sumasakay kahit hindi aircon na bus( kasi no choice kesa maiwan!,he!he!)

Goodluck my friend and God Bless You

“Always do right. That will gratify some of the people and astonish the rest” –Mark Twain

Ephraim Domingo

Si pareng Eph ang group “clown”. Riotdin pag kasama siya lalu na nun sa Bataan kasi nakakarelate siya,ha!ha!

He is a good boy naman eh, he is justa bit confused minsan and needs ng mgaate to get him in the right track..

Hopefully now, you know na your prio-rities in life, my friend. Soon to be adad, strive for the future of your family.

“Find a wife and you find a good thing. It shows that the Lord is good to you”(Proverbs 18:22)

Liezel Valdez

This is my ever pretty friend. Kahitsaan kami maduty may nagkakacrushsa kanya, doctor, nurse, pasyente pati mga bantay. : )

One of the “kikay” (the other being Arni and Elda). Hindi nagpapalampasng tiangge pag may nadadaanan.Pag kasama sa divisoria, sasakit ang paasa kakalibot(parang si May : ) )

Kung ang saddest bday niya ay 2006, I’m sure magiging happiest ang 2009!!.( alam na ng PG kung bakit )

I’m happy for both of you. Ingat : )))

““ Train up a child in a way he should go,and when he is old, he will not depart from it “ (bible verse)

Ana Rosa P. Tiopianco

Si Set ang pinaka una kong naging friend sa PG. We go way back Anatomy days pa( 2004 pa yun ah!). Had a lot of days reviewing together sa library. Pag computation ang usapan si Set ang no.1, may calculator ata siya sa utak eh! : )

Very sweet kung friend mo na, pero sabi nga ni Ja “sungit” minsan, ha!ha! Of all the years na magkasama kami, we had one fight that we ended up “crying” pareho, : ( . Ang dahilan, isang patak ng “tubig”, ha!ha!

Kidding aside, itong si Set medyo mahina lang ang loob but I know she would go places someday. Believe in yourself my friend..

“ The greatest thing in this world is not much where we are, but in what direction we are moving “ ( oliver holmes)

Elda Socorro V. Veloso

The bunso of the group. She is very fragile kung titingnan but a “rockista” inside. I admire her perseverance and love for photography. Aakyat sa bundok, building o kahit saan basta makakuha ng magandang “angle” . I know she would have a name in the future. You go miss RN Photographer!

Although minsan inaasar ka ng group, its just our way of “ lambing “ to you. : )

Good luck Miss MS ! You still have a lot of years before you. Continue to be religious, loving and creative. Love yahh!!

“ There are two educations, one should teach us how to make a living and the other how to live” ( John Adams)

Maybelle O Victorio

Si May ang akala mo hindi nagbibiro. Peroingat kami lahat pag nagsalita na, ha!ha!Panu ba naman super galing mag gawa ng kwento nito : ). Minsan nga totoo na , di pa kami naniniwala. Yun nga lang di niya ko magawang “acomplish” kasi madali akong mahuli pag nag li lie.. : )

Ang house niya ang official “ seclusion” ng group. Kung meron may problema tyak nasa “crying chair” sa kanila.( ilan na ba kaming nakaupo dun???..) Dun din kami nag ge get together kasi convenient sa lahat ang area.

“ Worse than a quitter is a person who is afraid to begin” Believe me, Si May hindi siya quitter and hindi siya afraid to begin.

I miss you and I love yahh my friend : )

Ronn Carlo Tortosa

I’ve always been intrigued by Ron. One moment super sweet then thenext nag eemote mag isa. But in fairness to him, he is reliable pag outof town ang duty namin.

Magaling siya lalo na pag skills lab and ako ang nanghihinayang kung hindi siyamagtuloy as a nurse. You can go places,if you put your heart and mind into it.

I pray that you find the right personwho stays with you and that you findthe perfect place ( para hindi na palipat-lipat ng work. : ) )

“ Start the day with a joy in your heart and everything will be fine”

Ingat and God bless you always. : )

“ It is in giving that we reach our highest potential.
