I.V. Therapy

As a nurse in the Philippines, it is now a requirement by law to be a licensed I.V. therapist. To be one, you need to attend a 3-day I.V. therapy training course. Right now it would cost about P1,500 - P2,500 depending on the location of the seminar and institution behind it.

I've been in attendance in the said seminar here in Saint Gabriel Hospital in Kalibo, Aklan, Philippines. It cost us P2,500 for the seminar with 2 free snacks and lunch. It starts at 8:00 A.M. until 5:00-5:30P.M. depending on the lecturers. We just had our demonstrations by the preceptors just this afternoon and tomorrow we'll be doing the return demonstrations complete with all the enumerations step-by-step.

The institutions responsible for this training program are the Iloilo Misssion Hospital Nursing Service and the Saint Gabriel Hospital Nursing Service. Also there are sponsors for the said seminar including the Saint Gabriel Hospital, Inc., Saint Gabriel College, and GenCare Medical Distribution Inc.

For me, completing the requirements in this seminar is not enough to be able to fully call yourself a licensed I.V. Therapist, EXPERIENCE is still the best teacher. :-?

Ellusionist

Talking about magic, here's a cool site about it. They've got great video demonstrations there and a lot of cool stuff too. So check their website at www.ellusionist.com. ;-?

Just remembered...POOF!

Just remembered another hobby of mine. It was a year ago when I really got into it. It was a childhood ambition of mine to become a MAGICIAN! So last year, while we were reviewing for our board exam in Nursing, I was reviewing my magic tricks. I got some of my classmates to be in awe especially if I acted stupid and they thought I was wrong but in the end I was right. I just remembered it cause I'm gonna start reviewing my tricks in a few days.

New site discovered

I just discovered a new site for tutorials about after effects. It looks great and I'm still going to explore it. Here's the web address: http://ae.tutsplus.com/. :-?

My first major project!

Yeah! I finally made my first major project in after effects. It's my 75th monthsary message for my girlfriend. It's a start for me and that I finally turned the tutorials I learned from a lot of cool sources into a project. I really learned a lot and from these cool sites:

1. Videocopilot.net
2. creativecow.net
3. allbetsareoff.com

They are the coolest sites I've been into and the people there are amazingly creative, artistic and very helpful. I enjoyed watching their tutorials and hope you watch too. Here's the link to my project which I posted in youtube.

Finally

I finally created a project!Yehey for me! I made a project for my lovely girlfriend for our 75th monthsary!I love that girl!She's my only and last one! I'll post it here when it's finished. :-?

Gregory House, M.D.

Another hobby I do is buy a lot of dvd series like House and watch them all day long from the 1st episode till the last episode I can watch. Right now I'm starting to watch Season 5 of House and I'm excited.

Also, on videocopilot, there's a tutorial about making the video in After Effects about House where the cells in our body are magnified just like in House. It's a great tutorial and I love it!Hoping to make one in the near future! :-?

Electrified

I was shocked, well not really cause I was expecting it. Our electric bill is so high for a residential bill- I guess. It's up to 1,800 pesos. That's about $40 now. It's very high. Last month it was about $22. So what went wrong?

Well it was the overnight duty of my laptop because I'm downloading a lot of torrents right now and they are about 3 gigabytes in average size and there are about 7 of them so I really had to turn the laptop on till morning. So it's probably all my fault why. So the solution is to be patient in downloading the files and turn off the laptop when not in use. :-?

Freeze!

I made a project just recently about freezing time in After Effects. It sucks and I know it. I just kind of made it in a hurry because I was running out of patience as I always do cause I'm doing it on a laptop and it's kind of slow. Also, the camera that I used is a digital camera with dimensions of 320x240. I wish I had a better camera. It's not cool but hey, it's a start. I learned this from videocopilot(the best site ever). So here it is...

Who Are You?

Conflict

I'm having a hard time right now between Illustrator and After Effects. I'm always tempted to view tutorials for after effects when I see one. It then diverts my attention back to after effects and lose my focus in Illustrator. So, I'll go with whatever pleases me. hahaha...

I've also started to download symbols from deviantart. It's a great website for digital designs. A lot of pictures, graphics, photoshop brushes, and a lot more about art. So check out the website and there are a lot of free stuff there. :-?
