My neighbor's dog Christine doesn't fail to keep on barking and yelping into the night for a full hour, between the wee hours of 2-3 a.m. everyday. I had half a mind to knock the sense out of the owner the following morning, you know, but I figured the dog must really have a daily visitor at that unholy hour. She doesn't sound like she's driving away some intruder.
Anyway, at breakfast early today at McDonald's, three guys were happily updating each other with all the news in local basketball. They were like in a zone, a world of their own. Apparently, they watch everything: PBL, PBA, even college basketball-- NCAA and UAAP. Not to mention NBA.
I like wrestling though, WWE mostly. It's hilarious watching Batista (I was told he's Filipino--really?) square it off with obnoxious JBL (he's so large, his fat seems to burst out, he's like a big whale). And poster boy hip-hopping John Cena beating the hell out of Randy Orton.
I'm still having problems with my scales. I need to practice more often. The cadenzas in Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and Liszt's Liebestraum no. 3 still bothers me, along with the coda to Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu.
In the news today: still the controversy surrounding the Nursing board exams. If you ask me, the examinees should just retake the tests that were supposedly leaked out (3 and 5, I believe). I know, preparing for the nursing review is a taxing, expensive undertaking and legitimate passers who didn't benefit from the leakage are understandably upset.
But they should take a long-term view. You see, the PRC should take steps to restore credibility and requiring the examinees to retake the tests is just one way of removing the stain resulting from this lamentable episode. Keep in mind that prospective hospitals and medical facilities abroad are keeping close watch. If nothing is done to correct this, then they might just hire Indian and Chinese nurses who are fast catching up to Filipino nurses and medical professionals.
