Sample_04_a_small Sample_03_white_smallSample_01_blueSample_02_blacktwo samples can covers and two posters i made for ayisha of NUJP.

feel free to give constructive and destructive criticisms. :D

Included in the cans and posters is the article below:

A new analysis by the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has found the Philippines as the "Most Murderous Country for Journalists" with Iraq, Colombia, Bangladesh, and Russia rounding out the list.

According to the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines, 26 Filipino journalists have been slain in the last three years, 69 since democracy was restored in 1986. Five journalists were murdered in the first seven months of 2005; four others survived assassination attempts but suffered serious wounds. And yet, we still hear the myth: The Philippines press is one of Asia’s freest.

Most journalists in the Philippines live below poverty line, receiving low pay, with no job security are not enjoying full mandated benefits.

v for vendetta

Categories: Film

V_for_vendetta"remember remember the fifth of november…"

my combination of the two available posters of the highly-anticipated movie, v for vendetta. the movie stars natalie portman of star wars fame and hugo weaving of matrix trilogy fame. cast also includes Stephen Rea (Interview with the Vampire, The Crying Game) starring in the role of Finch, Rupert Graves (The Madness of King George) in the role of Dominic and Stephen Fry (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, The Life and Death of Peter Sellers) in the role of Dietrich.

by the way, the movie is directed by joel silver and produced by the Wachowski brothers. trully, a must-see movie.

here is the synopsis from its site:

Set against the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain, V For Vendetta tells the story of a mild-mannered young woman named Evey (Natalie Portman) who is rescued from a life-and-death situation by a masked vigilante known only as “V.” Incomparably charismatic and ferociously skilled in the art of combat and deception, V ignites a revolution when he detonates two London landmarks and takes over the government-controlled airwaves, urging his fellow citizens to rise up against tyranny and oppression. As Evey uncovers the truth about V’s mysterious background, she also discovers the truth about herself – and emerges as his unlikely ally in the culmination of his plot to bring freedom and justice back to a society fraught with cruelty and corruption.

Bonnie_bailey this is gotta be the uberkewless house song in my playlist to date. it’s like a concoction of infectious beat and seductive vocals by hed kandi’s bonnie bailey.

hail to house music! :D

download the song here.

enjoy!

ever after by bonnie bailey

from hed kandi vol. 1

Three years ago my journey began
Chasing down this cure, no plan in hand
Just your pulse, my racing guide in the dark
Just knowing with conviction from the start

The moment your eyes made an introduction
I felt my second violent breath of life
Flawless to the point of being godly
Yet I fell hard for your imperfections

And now we’re slightly weathered, we’re slightly worn
Our hands grip together eye to eye through the storm yet
I still believe in ever after with you, yeah
Coz life is a pleasure with you by my side
And there ain’t no current in this river we can’t ride
I still believe in ever after with you

Nothing compares to the good times
Feels like we’re floating when the rest have to climb
You made me believe in love and not the perfect kind
A real messy beautiful twisted sunshine
Emotions volcanic eruptions
We both still care so we’re still alive
Tunnel vision, determination
I want you I want to make it right

You are my twisted sunshine
You are my twisted sunshine

Top Nursing College backs info campaign on “Best and Worst Nursing Schools”

By cannedthoughts 0 Comments
Categories: Current Affairs

One of the best nursing schools in the country today with no less than St. Lukes Medical Center as its base hospital, St. Lukes College of Nursing (SLCN) one of the educational units of Trinity College of Quezon City (Trinity College) has expressed full support for the "campaign" to educate students on what schools would best help them be competent nursing graduates in the future.

Trinity College president Josefina Sumaya, PhD, says that accessible information on school rankings and passing averages at the board exams will guide students to choose the right schools wherein to pursue their studies in nursing.

This remark was in response to Catanduanes Representative Joseph Santiagos much publicized list of the 20 best and the 20 worst performing nursing schools nationwide in terms of students passing rate in the licensure test. Santiago announced such list last May in the hope of helping incoming nursing freshmen choose which institution to enroll in.

"Its good to see that our political leaders like Cong. Santiago has taken an active role in advising students to be critical and meticulous in choosing the nursing schools they will enroll in," says Sumaya.

Santiagos list, culled from data from the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), showed that the top 20 nursing schools had as much as a 99 percent passing rate in licensure examinations while the worst ones would have as low as a nine percent passing rate. SLCN ranked ninth in Santiagos list of the best nursing schools with an 87 percent average passing rate in the years 1999-2003. According to SLCN Dean Gisela Luna, with fewer students in its earlier years until 1995, the College would even chalk up 100 percent passing rates in those years.

Meantime, in the June 2005 nursing board exams, SLCN got an 88 percent passing rate, with 108 students passing the test out of its 123 graduates who took the exam; PRCs computed national passing rate across all categories pales in comparison at 49.41 percent, with only 12,843 passing the board out of over 26,000 examinees. Luna says that for the first time, this years SLCN batch of examinees crossed over to the "100 and more examinees" category from the "99 and below examinees" category. In 2004, with fewer nursing graduates (92) taking the board exam, the school was able to chalk up a higher passing rate of 95 percent.

Celebrating its centennial in 2007, SLCN is the product of the partnership between Trinity College and sister institution St. Lukes Medical Center, both owned and organized by the Philippine Episcopal Church in concordat with the Philippine Independent Church. Aside from BS Nursing, SLCN also offers an eight-month Care-Giver course and a two-year course in Health Science Education.

D            A             E                 B
I never understood before, I never knew what love was for,
D                      A                     E
My heart was broke, my head was sore, what a feeling.
D                  A          E                 B
Tied up in ancient history, I didn’t believe in destiny,
  D                       A                  E
I look up you’re standing next to me, what a feeling,

       B       E           G#m        G                 F#
What a feeling in my soul, love burns brighter than sunshine,
A                 E             B          E
Brighter than sunshine, let the rain fall, I don’t care,
G#m           G               F#
I’m yours and suddenly you’re mine,
A                E   Em                            B
Suddenly you’re mine, and it’s brighter than sunshine.

D              A          E                B
I never saw it happening, I’d given up and given in,
D                        A                   E    
I just couldn’t take the hurt again, what a feeling.
D                 A                      E             B             D
I didn’t have the strength to fight, but suddenly you seemed so right,
       A           E
Me and you, what a feeling.

       B       E           G#m        G                 F#
What a feeling in my soul, love burns brighter than sunshine,
     A                 E             B          E
It’s brighter than sunshine, let the rain fall, I don’t care,
G#m           G               F#    A               E
I’m yours and suddenly you’re mine, suddenly you’re mine,
Em       A                 Em       A                 Em
And it’s brighter than the sun, it’s brighter than the sun
    A                 Em    A    B
It’s brighter than the sun, sun, shine.
D                  A            E                    B
Love will remain a mystery, but give me your hand and you will see,
D                     A         E     E   
Your heart is keeping time with me.

       B       E           G#m        G                 F#
What a feeling in my soul, love burns brighter than sunshine,
     A                 E             B          E
It’s brighter than sunshine, let the rain fall, I don’t care,
G#m           G               F#    A               E
I’m yours and suddenly you’re mine, suddenly you’re mine

       B       E           G#m        G                 F#
What a feeling in my soul, love burns brighter than sunshine,
     A                 E             B          E
It’s brighter than sunshine, let the rain fall, I don’t care,
G#m           G               F#    A               E
I’m yours and suddenly you’re mine, suddenly you’re mine,

                           B
And it’s brighter than sunshine.
