Ramblings of numb thumbs

Hello all,

I just felt like i need to put something up here so that my blog does not go into idle again! This is going to serve as my therapy session for the past month or so!! dont get me wrong I don see a shrink or anything, i just like to vent once in a while.

So why do you D choose never to clean up where we call our abode, you just choose to ignore it or do you feel it is ur right??

I have so many things on my mind and i still get back and have to deal with that mess,that gbish is not cool, I over look it because of God's word. God is Love and I dont want to make the same mistake twice in my life. God help me.

So why do you Kay, never want to hear anything that is against your thought process, You take it in at that moment and bring it up later as a form of defense mechanism against someone that wants the best for you?? I guess as you have learnt from your past mistakes you will continue to learn by mistakes unless you reconfigure yourself to be open minded and ask God to give you discerning spirit to know what to follow and what not to follow? God gave us two ears and one mouth for obvious reasons. nuff said.

So I wish we had a better relationship while we were on our way to this stage in our various lives but i guess that is something we have to learn to acknowledge and live with for the rest of our lives. Now I wonder if what she has bin telling me is the truth or maybe she i just a liar. I wish you the best and I hope you have a great life ahead. God knows i tried my best.

I know God was trying to teach me something by making me not pass that test, 18 points away and now i have to look for half of 100 dozens to take it again.

What life is all about! one advice I have for you that is reading this is that you should set your mind to having a FOREVER MIND. details in my next post. Peace.

Life as I know it!!

Life as i know it:
I have not been on here for a minute, I have just being very occupied with comepleting my Master's program, Preparing and going through with my sister's wedding and also preparing and taking my NBCOT Occupational therapy board examination. It has been a long 2 months and some weeks I must say.
The end of my School program was a success and I must give all glory to Almighty God for the wisdom, knowledge and understanding he gave me through the two years I was in grad school for, thank you Lord.

My sister's wedding was also a great one, God made it successful, It was not an extravagant wedding but it was Successful. People came from all over the world had fun, the couple had fun, everything went as planned, people were there very late!! If not that what else constitutes a successfull ceremony?? It was great!! I miss her alot tho *sobs*

After the wedding, I started preparing for my board exam, I started getting nervous when i Was not getting very high on my practice exam annd then i talked to some of my class mates and they said they did not all pass the practice exams but they passed the Board itself, that relieved me a little but did not take off the stress. But with prayers and supplications I was not too stressed out towards the end of the prep period and during the exam. I thank God for his wisdom and grace.

Now to the next step, looking for a job, I pray God grants me the job that will not take me away from serving him. Amen.
What is up with other people, hope life is treating Y'all great!!

Talk to you all later.

9th least stressful job in the U. S. A

A Basic Overview
Occupational therapy (OT) is the 9th least stressful job in the U. S. A. According to a recent “U.S. News and World Report.” Occupational therapists work with disabled people to help them be more independent in daily life. Disabilities can be due to stroke or other medical condition, as well as congenital.
Patience and superior interpersonal skills are essential qualities of an occupational therapist. Many times clients will balk at doing therapy exercises at home (or even during therapy). They may become frustrated and angry that recovery is not coming as fast as they had hoped. This is where the OT must listen to and encourage the patient along the road to recovery.
Necessary Education
To work as an OT, an individual must have completed an accredited master’s program including a minimum of 24 hours of field work. After coursework is completed, the national licensing exam must be taken by all OTs wanting to practice. Successfully passing the exam gives the OT the right to add “Occupational Therapist Registered” or OTR after his or her name and signals to future employers and patients that the occupational therapist understands and is able to apply knowledge to the people requiring therapy.
Bachelor’s degrees are usually held in the sciences, liberal arts or social sciences, such as anthropology or psychology. Master’s degree classes include behavioral science, physical and life science, along with learning the application of the skills being learned.
At the present moment, there are no too many occupational therapy programs at the master’s level and even fewer at the doctoral level. The Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) has approved just 150 masters and combined bachelor/master’s degree programs and only four doctoral programs…
The top OT programs in the United States, according to “US News and World Report” are, from one to five: Boston College – Sargent, Washington University – St. Louis, USC University of Illinois – Chicago, Tufts – Boston, University of Kansas Medical Center.
Predicted Job Growth 2008-2018
Ranked in the top 50 best careers of 2010 by “U.S. News and World Report, ” occupational therapy as a field is projected to grow much faster than average.
A significant increase in job growth, 26%, is projected between 2008-2018. Just 105,000 OTs were working in 2008. In 2018, 131,300 OTs are expected to be working.
Average Earnings
The predominant location for occupational therapists to work is in hospitals. Other settings include schools, home health care services, self-employed in private practice, nursing homes and mental health/addiction facilities.
The median salary in 2008 for an OT was $67,780 according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Top paid OTs made over $98,000 and the most poorly paid OTs made less than $42,000 a year.
Home health care services pays therapists well with a median salary of $74,510 every year. Nursing homes pay OTs less well at $72,790. School districts pay occupational therapist even less at $60,020 a year. In the future the occupational therapy jobs will be most abundant and will likely pay the best are jobs working with the elderly.
With the ever-increasing focus on health and medicine, occupational therapy jobs and travel nurse jobs are available around the world for qualified professionals.

harp-iness

Awake, in the middle of the night thinking of life and its ups and downs, should i pray? should i go back to sleep, should i call someone and rant, should i go eat icecream??

why are they showing stuff on T.V about "can humans find happiness". Can i find happiness now without being rich? can i find hapiness in my relationships? when I am rich where will i look for more hapiness?
How do we really define hapiness? how do u know u have achived hapiness? What is happiness??

I jjust need to breakdown and cry, express myself to someone, but who will i trust? deep tots.

hello out there!!

How is every one doing? i have been away for a long time because of rotations, it is kinda tough i must say, it is challenging, as well educative. I have learnt a lot from my rotation site, even tho my supervisor and I were having a rough relationship at first. now it has gottten better, now when i look back at what was causing it, I realize that it was 2 people's ego clashing together, hers was that she wanted to boss me around and tell me what to do and not to do (which would have been right if she did not put so much authority into it and made it a learning and correction atmosphere), my ego was just pride, useless pride, in which I am still praying to God to help me subdue. Thank God for his mercies.
Ok, July is looking like an ugly month for me in the sense that i have so many things due in such little time, arrggghh, i know i will feel so much better after the month is over, but for now i will just need to suck it up and face my giants.

I have been struggling a lot and i mean a lot with my christian life, i have been there i know what God can do for me, but now getting back to where i used to be has bin a very veryy tough ride. I struggle with a lot of things, try to fight it but just find my self falling back to where I was before. there are many issues i need to pray about ask God for directions, but sometimes i feel like i am not worthy enough for him to listen to me. God help me.

I have lost touch with keeping up with naija entertainment news, blogs and all things naija, well still up to date with some music, thanks to notjustOk, but for the rest, i just dont have the time. i feel saddened by this, but hey life goes on.

I will try to continue to update but if not, will be back sometime soon. Peace.

Dagrin and my in

ok as we all know, Nigerian music industry was hit on the 22nd of april by the sad news of the death of Dapo Olaitan Olaonipekun, aka Da Grin. He was 23 years old and had survived an accident that occured eight days earlier. he was admitted to the intensive care unit of Lagos university Teaching Hospital while in coma, but gradually came out of it and became vocal. People prayed for him and hoped he would get better but unfortunately he did not survive.

According to people around him his last words were "tell my fans i love them" ..DEEP STUFFS

Anyways people that rescued him from the site of the accident said that alcohol might have been a major factor left out of the story told to the general public. It was believed that Dagrin was drunk and also that the Maxima in which he was the driver had a bottle of alcohol in it when the crash happened. Sad sad.

I was reallly hurt by the story of his death and i was begining to ask God why he let it happen, that why did He let Travis baker survive a plane crash, let curtis Jackson survive 9 gun shots and not let this young man survive...but after i heard of the alcohol side of the story, i am now neutral and remorseful for the questions i have asked. God please forgive me.

I feel there is not enough campaign in Nigeria about the dangers of drunk driving, they need to campaign more about the dangers, spread the word, discourage it and reduce the amount of youth we loose each year to the demon called alcohol.

I know alcohol can be addictive and makes you free from worries, but is only for a while, it impairs ur judgement, makes u do stupid things and detroys your body organs, then if i may ask what is the benefit?? I wont say i have not drank before but i stopped when i was like 17, because of laws and because God gave me the wisdom to know that is is not good.

I think this incident should be an avenue for the alchohol companies in Nigeria to come together as one and agree on something and reduce the amount of youths we loose to alchohol.

Agree with the family, pay an amount use his story as a lesson and help the youths, it will go a long way, my two cents.
