(Almost) Two Years

Before I start this post, I would like to thank the world and the interest it has showed to generate 13,500+ blog views over the past few months, despite my inactivity for almost two years. I am honored and extremely grateful.

     So here's the thing. I have been gone for almost two years now in writing this blog. Is it a surprise? Perhaps not at all. I've been in touch with my nursing profession for the last (almost) two years now, and it allowed me to physically and mentally progress into this competent nurse that I have arguably become. Yes, I've been in places, and I've gained these valuable experiences on the way. But what about boxing? I've been boxing still. I may not be physically into boxing for some time, but I know... deep inside the scrub suits and nursing uniforms, lie a great fighter that is waiting to be unleashed out of its shell.

     I still would like to thank, the Department of Health for giving me this opportunity to showcase my now defined nursing skill sets, which helped my personal principles and advocacy come into fruition.. and that is.. to help and serve the poor and those who are in need. It has been the foundation of my calling since I set foot into the halls of my Nursing School. My post "Nurse: Saving and Preserving Life" tells of a valuable nursing experience of mine as a student, which defined my nursing career until this very day. I am thankful to God for all the struggles he masterfully placed into my life, for without them, I wouldn't have been successful.

     It's been almost two years now, so forgive me if I may have lost my touch in blogging. For all those who think I stopped because the Pacman got KO is clearly misguided. I just had to work a year in a tertiary hospital and now enjoying the present, as a community nurse and caring for those in need. I must admit that I am loving my work. But I know, despite the air of contentment, there is a gaping wound in my heart that wishes to fill its void.. and for me to come back and continue writing this blog is a symbolism of that notion. Perhaps it is time to step up as promised. No reasons or excuses. It is now or never. Let the next era begin.

8000th views and its Statistics

Happy 8000th! As this blog reaches the 8000th mark. I have to thank all the people who supported this blog, internet people who have one way or another miraculously stumble here, and I want to thank God for giving me the inspiration each day in making a difference to the world even in small steps like this blog. It's been a long time since I talked about statistics in my blog, and the United States of America was the top readers of this blog a few years back. Although, something has changed over the past couple of years and the Philippines(my native country) was marching steadily up into the spot on where it belongs today.

Here is my top 10 blog viewers.

Page Views by Country:
1. Philippines
2. United States of America
3. United Kingdom
4. Italy
5. Canada
6. Russia
7. Australia
8. Germany
9. France
10. India

     In the past, I had to just include the Top five, but since my number five and the rest of the numbers downward holds so close in each others views that I had to include the entire list. By Browser, people who read my blog used the Internet Explorer more, followed by Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and etc. Through the means via operating systems, Windows is the clear winner by a landslide in this category, followed  by Macintosh, Linux, Android, iPhone, and etc.

     First and foremost, I want to stress out that this blog isn't about blog views and statistics. This blog is created to help inspire the human framework and encourage its readers to believe that anything is possible. Helping people have that extra amount of faith rippled into their work ethics. Just as Muhammad Ali would put it, "They have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger." It is through one's determination.. this trait alone that will carry anyone, despite obstacles, failures, and limitations, into becoming something more.. of a Champion. Have a nice day!

Brokenhearted

How ironic that this blog has reached its 8000th mark, and still I feel ambivalent whether I would be happy or under the blues. I do want to thank my readers and to some internet people who have miraculously stumbled upon my blog. It is a pleasure to be heard and that this blog will continue to serve its purpose to inspire people to achieve great things. Things have come up in my life that I know a lot of us can relate to, such as the feeling of being brokenhearted. You wouldn't know what to expect at the end of the line whether it would be a happily ever after or another vicious cycle of heart aches that only true love can cure. I have never been the type to give up on something, especially when I am inspired with it. Love, like any other complex feelings a man can feel is a beautiful yet painful feeling. Although, when one gives up despite the totality that one gives his entirety to another, it becomes pointless. Like all things great, there is a limit, and it cannot last forever. As boxing can put it, just as a fighter reaches the 30's, retirement is an imminent process that needs to be seriously considered. All these great fighters that we see and be privileged to watch in our time holds the same historic cycle that since the beginning has taught us that human mortality is fact. Even as happily married couples ages off, their love comes to a halt in death. The only thing that goes on in this world is inspiration. It never dies out in existence and it aims to affect people positively into becoming the best they can become, just like the way this blog was intended. Great tales last more than a lifetime. Human mortality might daunt us, but it is in when we cherish life and not take it for granted, that we see, that there is a purpose for all of our struggles. A purpose to make one stronger. No matter how many obstacles one may encounter in his lifetime, one must continue to persevere under God's grace. For it is God who brings about our purpose, and when we miss out on it, then we are taking our lives for granted.

Reached its 3000 views

It's been long since I posted here, and I found it tiresome to some extent, to write anything in these past few days. I had a lot of things going, and I guess this blog has missed out on some of the important details, that I have encountered. Experiences that develop me, as a Champion. First of all, I want to thank everyone, who has stumbled upon this blog. This blog has currently reached the 3000 plus mark two weeks ago, in the event of the first week of the new year. It has been a blessing, that the blog has increased in views from time around. Views, are one way or another indicators, of how much I have reached the world. It is important to know this, for I wish to inspire the world. I want to thank you all, for showing some support in this blog, through views, and recognition of some of my posts. This blog will keep going forever, to inspire.. A diary of a warrior, who dreams, and the difficult road, in which a Champion has to take.. this is what this blog is all about.. Believe in your dreams, with God, nothing is impossible.
