Orchestra
Noun
1. A large group of musicians whose members play a variety of different instruments
2. Also called: (orchestra pit) the space, in front of or under the stage, reserved for musicians in a theatre [Greek: the space in the theatre for the chorus]
-scopy
Suffix
Viewing; seeing; observation
[Greek -skopiā, from skopein, to see.]
I was trying to think of a blog name that would cover the two opposite genres' of Music and Nursing that is my life. Frighteningly enough, the first name that I thought of was Vital Symphony, a twist on a nursing task that us students could well have a Master's Degree on, Vital Signs or most commonly known as VS.
But after a day, I can't think of the name without cringing so I decided to change it into something less corny and more incomprehensible. I didn't know where to start at first then my mind wandered in to medical terminologies, most specifically Operating Room procedures where terms just sounds cooler no matter what it means. Colostomy, Nephrectomy... Laparoscopy... Endoscopy...
Then the orchestra part came in by the presence of this quote:
Hence, the birth of ORCHESTROSCOPY, a small dot in the gigantic universe of the world wide web that will chronicle this blogger's appetite for writing and posting highly unconnected things including nursing, music, job hunts, poetry, food, piano pieces, opinions, made-up recipes, reviews and random daily experiences.

Wow thank you for the compliment! Vomiting rainbows right now. :D Keep writing and blogging. You're doing the world a favor, believe me. Best of luck!
This is one great blog. I wish you can post more about yourself. =) You give me inspiration to pursue my blogging habit (that's quite ignored for a long time already).

Your comment got actually got me thinking. It is a fact that I don't usually post about myself, where I've been, what I did the day before. But what I do share about is my thoughts and opinions on things and I think that says more about myself than the things I bought the other weekend. :)) I'd like to thank you for the multiple comments you've left. It's heartwarming to know that my works are being read and appreciated. Please do pursue blogging. It's a rewarding experience to share your thoughts and experiences to the world and have them do the same. :) will be dropping by your blog after this post, I'm sure it's awesome! Thanks again!
coming up with a blog name, "orchestroscopy" was creative and genius. music and nursing may just be perfect. i may not be into music and i don't have the vocal cords for it but, i love to read and browse more of your blog. i am a newbie in blogging. i'm browsing around to get more ideas as well. this nursing blog is great. keep it up.

Thank you for those kind words. I've also visited your site, I love the funny drawings. Blogging and nursing (and the health care field in general) do mix really well, in a way, because we are treated to first row seats on human complexity (physical, mental, emotional and all in between) and the twists and turns of life as we know it. The profession can be tiring and stressful, but it sure is never boring. :)
This blog is awesome. It's been a while since Ive been visiting. It's just now that I have managed to leave a comment. For I didn't have a mine yet when I started reading this. XD blog blog blog!
