Can there be a relationship without sex?

   You can probably see how unconditional love can help a sexual relationship in a marriage. In order for sex to be most fulfilling, it should be experienced in an atmosphere of caring and acceptance. Sex, viewed in this manner, becomes not a self-centered performance but a significant expression of mutual love.

There are relationships and there are friendships. You can have a relationship without sex. There is certainly no hurry when it comes to sex. I personally prefer to take my time. As the relationship grows, sex will quiet naturally happen without any pre-planning. In fact, it will be much better if it is not planned. If you rush sex you may keep a relationship from forming.

You fell in love with the person, not his penis or her vagina, and while usage of those organs usually creates a stronger emotional bond between people, they are not absolutely required to keep the chemistry going. Besides, there are some who do not enjoy sex for various reasons, thus sex is not the least important in certain relationships.

Sex can improve a couple's relationship but is not directly essential. You can love someone you can have a relationship. It is possible to keep them going without sex. Sex is just another dimension to a relationship. People do have relationships without sex and it can be a loving, healthy relationship.

A letter to myself.

Dear Kristina,

A life has been given to me by God, and I feel great and happy for the chance I have received. All things that are created by god has its beginning and ending because it is part of god’s plan. I can't even begin to express how happy I am that I have come into this world.

           I will treasure every moments in my life for it will happen only once for life is only one and if I wasted it I cannot turn it back. For life cannot be returned I must learn to live life to the fullest. Do those things I want to do for there is a time that is given for me but I must learn all my limitations.  I am not ready to go to my final destination in life. Death is the event in my life that I am scared of to happen. I just can’t figure out death, it is like very complicated .I want to be with my family, and I want to spend more time with them.  

I want to live longer for there are still a lot of things I want to do in my life. I love those time I have spend in my life just wish there was more of it and that it would lasted longer than it does. But I am thankful for that time. I know it is really hard to understand .I learn that there is nothing I should fear of and I must face it as a challenge in my life. I must be ready for I know that if the time might come it just happened for a certain purpose.

Yours truly,

Kristina

stupid.Love.fOOl.

       Why do they say that love is synonymous to stupidity? Is it because you love even after you were hurt? You love even if that someone doesn't and cant love you back? You love with him not knowing? Or is it because you still love even after the relationship has ended?

 

 

Is it the hearts fault? Maybe it ought to have chosen someone better. Maybe it should have
forewarned you first. Maybe, it shouldn't have loved at all. If we could just choose the one then maybe everything will be perfect. No more sorrows. No more pain. No more broken hearts. 

If I will be given the chance to choose, who do you think will I pick? Guess. Its still you. It seems irrational, almost unbelievable isnt it? Yeah. I always tell that to myself. Why, of all people, why you? I dont know. Reasons seem to be beyond approach. I've been hurt, just like everyone else and still, I am here. Dont tell me to stop, I wont listen. My heart wont listen.

A friend told me that I was just making a fool of myself. I shook my head. You see, I just want you to feel the passion, the fervor, the feeling of having someone that loves and cares for you. Is that wrong? I didnt love for myself. For my part, it isnt beneficial at all. A
demonstrable proof that love is indeed the same as stupidity.

I am stupid. I am a fool. I am in love. 

 

 

A glimpse into my inner world

          No matter how many times people teach us to do better, we usually have to learn our lessons the hard way in order to have them really sink in. Regardless of how many times my parents told me that I should learn the value of being morally, spiritually and socially responsible in all my ways. A reminder that would just passed from one ear to another sometimes too boring as considered monotonous and routine.

When I was in fourth year high school, the only thing which my mother asked me was to be in the honor’s list. She was so frustrated then because I was not able to maintain my grades due to tardiness. I was a late riser. I was always late in going to school which resulted to C- grade and I was suspended every school for tardiness.

Over the last two months I’ve come to realize that for the last 19 years I have had absolutely no clue how to love myself. I thought that sacrificing myself, my desires, my dreams was the way to happiness. I grew up with this strange notion that my voice wasn’t the one that was important. Other people knew better than I did what was good for me, so I went along with whatever “they” said. It’s no wonder I was lonely, depressed, miserable and confused. I hadn’t learned to listen to myself. I am finally learning now that loving isn’t about sacrifice; it’s about giving and tuning into what feels good.

 

          I’m talking about connected, spiritual “feels good.” Healthy, Balance, Open, Compassionate or the highest and best good of service to others.

           When I don’t take care of me by staying up late, keeping my truth to myself, eating crappy food, spending more money than I have, doing activities that I’d rather not do. I turn into a major crap. I become completely useless to the people around me. I thought that I am matured enough to managed my self because I am more independent and more responsible than my siblings. I am scolded whenever I went home late having fun with friends such as malling, shopping, eat out, etc. without asking permission because I often forget to ask permission ahead of time. My weakness is that I have no savings like my brother because I am easily attracted to nice things that I tend to overspend.

This co-dependent thing runs really deep. REALLY deep. I can no longer allow myself to live a truth other than my own. If I don’t want to do something, then I don’t need to do it. If I want to do something, that is what I’ll do. It’s not about living someone else’s life anymore, it’s about living mine.

Every experience I’ve been in has led me back to myself. All along, It is me I have been looking for. Only until now I didn’t realize that. I stand here, in front of you, at 11:40 in the morning, and am so grateful to be where I am. To realize that I AM worth it. It’s who I am. It’s what I do. When I act lovingly toward myself, I am able to act lovingly toward others. It’s all about me. It really is. I am responsible for giving me everything I need. I am responsible for my happiness. I am responsible for my life. I am responsible for my emotions. I am responsible for my experience. I am responsible for my perception. And part of that is incredibly loving into what I think and speak toward myself.

There have been numerous bits of wisdom that I have had to learn the hard way. Some have been more serious. But they have all learned as a result of my moments of ignorance, stupidity, or just plain stubbornness. But as I keep learning how to step back in my life. I am discovering more and more that many lessons are good not to learn through personal experience. As my high school classmate and neighbor got pregnant, I recalled the phrase in one of my favorite book that “a smart person learns from his own mistakes, but a truly wise person can learn from the mistakes of others.”

Reducing Medication Errors and Increasing Patient Safety: Case Studies in Clinical Pharmacology

David M. Benjamin, PhD, FCP

From the Department of Pharmacology & Experimental Therapeutics, Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts.

                Today, reducing medication errors and improving patient safety have become common topics of discussion for the president of the United States, federal and state legislators, the insurance industry, pharmaceutical companies, health care professionals, and patients. But this is not news to clinical pharmacologists. Improving the judicious use of medications and minimizing adverse drug reactions have always been key areas of research and study for those working in clinical pharmacology. However, added to the older terms of adverse drug reactions and rational therapeutics, the new politically correct expression of medication error has emerged. Focusing on the word error has drawn attention to "prevention" and what can be done to minimize mistakes and improve patient safety. Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary has several definitions of error, but the one that seems to be most appropriate in the context of medication errors is "an act that through ignorance, deficiency, or accident departs from or fails to achieve what should be done." What should be done is generally known as "the five rights": the right drug, right dose, right route, right time, and right patient. One can make an error of omission (failure to act correctly) or an error of commission (acted incorrectly).

This article now summarizes what is currently known about medication errors and translates the information into case studies illustrating common scenarios leading to medication errors. Each case is analyzed to provide insight into how the medication error could have been prevented. "System errors" are described, and the application of failure mode effect analysis (FMEA) is presented to determine the part of the "safety net" that failed. Examples of reengineering the system to make it more "error proof" are presented. An error can be prevented. However, the practice of medicine, pharmacy, and nursing in the hospital setting is very complicated, and so many steps occur from "pen to patient" that there is a lot to analyze. Implementing safer practices requires developing safer systems. Many errors occur as a result of poor oral or written communications. Enhanced communication skills and better interactions among members of the health care team and the patient are essential. The informed consent process should be used as a patient safety tool, and the patient should be warned about material and foreseeable serious side effects and be told what signs and symptoms should be immediately reported to the physician before the patient is forced to go to the emergency department for urgent or emergency care.

Last, reducing medication errors is an ongoing process of quality improvement. Faulty systems must be redesigned, and seamless, computerized integrated medication delivery must be instituted by health care professionals adequately trained to use such technological advances. Sloppy handwritten prescriptions should be replaced by computerized physician order entry, a very effective technique for reducing prescribing/ordering errors, but another far less expensive yet effective change would involve writing all drug orders in plain English, rather than continuing to use the elitists' arcane Latin words and shorthand abbreviations that are subject to misinterpretation. After all, effective communication is best accomplished when it is clear and simple.

SELF REFLECTION

 

In this article they are recommending that the sloppy handwritten prescription should be replaced with a CPOE or writing all drug orders in just plain English, rather than using the Latin words and shorthand abbreviations. Doctors are famous for sloppy handwritten prescriptions which lead to thousands of medication errors each year. Illegible handwriting and transcription errors are responsible for as much as 61 percent of medication errors in hospitals. A simple mistake such as putting the decimal point in the wrong place can have serious consequences because a patient's dosage could be 10 times the recommended amount.

For me, it is a great idea since not all Filipinos can understand Latin words and shorthand abbreviations. Some are having a hard time understanding it because the words are either difficult to read due to sloppy handwriting or because it is new to them. Perhaps prescriptions are written this way because it carries on a tradition that organizes information in a standard way that pharmacist and other health care professionals will understand. But there are so many ways for it to go wrong that the case could be made to require plain language instead of abbreviated Latin on medication orders.

According to them, using computer system upon typing "ii po qid", the prescription reads "2 by mouth 4 times daily." I'm amazed not only by how helpful a computerized prescription-entry system is but how unnecessary my struggles in my class were. The advantages to a computer-assisted prescription system go well beyond making the writing legible.

Still, while technology is not a perfect solution for the problem of medication errors, I do believe that technology, if appropriately and aggressively used, holds great promise for researching, identifying, reporting, and reducing medication errors. In particular, I believe that electronic prescribing, with proper systems design, implementation, and maintenance, can contribute significantly to the prevention of medication errors.

The Face Behind The BLOG BLOG!

Ola! I'm Kristina Ma Orilla. A 4th year student of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy at San Pedro College. And hopefully, would graduate and walk down the aisle this coming March 30, 2010. And would pass the board exam on January 2010. (hahahahaha!)

   
 

I want to let you know I have a very interesting life so far....
 
Last last year, I've received a puppy as a gift. I named her Misha. Misha is incredibly spoiled, she gets whatever she wants. She kills kittens. She already killed five of them. Poor Kittens. :( I know right? She wasn't raised well but we still looove her dearly.

We have a lot of cats. In our backyard you can find Mother miming, Pinky, Cookie, Tiger, Blackie and Puti. Neither me, nor my family love cats but they wouldn't leave our house that is why we were forced to adopt them.

I eat a LOT! Anything with cheese makes me oh lala! I think I'm getting bigger and bigger each day. But what can I do, I love food with a passion. (hahahaha!)

I laugh a LOT! I am a jolly person who finds joy in every little things. (char! hahahaha!!!) Every time I hear something funny. Every time I get what I want. Every time I received a heartwarming text message. Every time I make someone happy. All of these makes my day!

I am a person who is positive about every aspect of life. My goal is always and in everything to be better today than I was yesterday. I’m an ordinary person dealing with what I like to believe are ordinary issues, but in all the ordinary days, I want to live an extraordinary life.

I am hopeful. I look at things hoping that tomorrow they will be okay, if not better.

I am simple and complicated and I believe there is no better way to say this.

That's All! (hahhahaahah!)

Remember that Nike campaign, "Just Do It"? As simple as it was, I always find it to be so inspiring.(:
