cycle of life, circle of life, paying back, paying off and the randomness of thoughts

yesterday, i wrote a real long post... it got erased coz my internet connection sucked..

today, my internet connection still sucks...

i kinda missed my pc so instead of using the laptop... i'm frying myself in the summer heat to get this post published....coz for me, the following things happens only once in a lifetime.... i might forget..

****

two mondays ago, i tested my stamina.... haha... we did our thesis... correction... we re-did our thesis... turned out what we worked on the saturday before that monday was total crap... as in basura.... at binasura talaga namin... we started our thesis all over again...

started at 8am.... dinaig ni shoti si tumalad kasi saktong 8 siya dumating... si tumalad, nasa tabi lang 9 na nakarating... dianne and jc followed... akala namin hindi dadating si dianne, but we figured since she left her phone in my room the saturday before, she'd be pressured to come. anyway, all of us started retallying our data... everything was cool... till after noon came.... after tallying, shoti and I grilled our brain cells to think of what to put in our discussion... the rest... well the just started goofing and singing around... we thought we'd finish the thesis by 6pm so they don't need to sleepover... then when we tested it in the chi square which gave us a result we didn't want to project... so we manipulated... till we got the digits right... then by 11pm we started doing our discussion.... we ended at 4 am... by 2:30 am we told the three that they could sleep... grabe, at natulog nga sila... so we ended at 4am...i slept at 5am...

and was awaken by tumalad's loud voice at 6:30am... palibhasa nakatulog siya...imagine kung gaano kasakit ng ulo ko nun... anyway... we realized some more errors on our thesis, so we edited it again...by 8am, jc and tumalad left the house to ready... and dianne, shoti, and I started readying up too... we dragged ourselves to ust by 11:30... buti nalang nagpalate kami.... coz the defense started at 1pm... imagine how long the others waited... haha... at oo, kahit tapos na ang finals, submitan ng grades at last day na ng encoding, oo meron parin kaming defense...

and our pagpupuyat paid off coz our thesis was clear... crystal clear... as in, gulat nga ako, naintindihan nila tumalad... haha...so pinahardbound na namin ung amin, pero pati sa paghhard binding, pahirapan.... so we left ust 6pm.... i reached santolan at 7:30... and of all the days that santolan could accumulate traffic, ung gabi na un pa... hay, buhay nga naman...
****

if you thought i got sleep after our thesis, well, wrong! the next day was my sis' graduation... and her call time? 7:00 am.. in PICC, so we had to wake up at 4:00 am...

it went well, except that dianne texted me "me kulang sa thesis natin"...so i had to call up some people to make sure that our thesis be passed... oo, naubos ang cellphone load ko dahil dun... that and the ceremony was bo-ring...so i texted lots of people to un-bore myself... including my sister... imagine, 350 students be called twice.... aaarrrrgggg.... bat di nalang pinagsabay...

in the afternoon, we had pizza and pasta... the day, well, it ended with us preparing for our departure for the hospital the next day... sam asked me to edit her friendster layout,i couldn't... ayaw ko nang tumingin sa computer... after the thesis and everything...
****

the first night in the hospital was still cool, coz it was still preop... my mom was still ok... but friday was different... her pain was unbearable for her... anyway, we didn't want to add her pain relievers coz the dose was already high....

the next day, madaldal parin si mum... kahit bawal siyang magsalita... di niya mapigilan... hehe... but we stayed up all night... oh, correction, i stayed up... since i'm the lightest sleeper among the four of us, i wake up every 20 minutes of an hour in different circumstances, for example checking if the iv is almost empty... haha.... and i wake up alternately my sis (who just literally knocked out) and dad... other than that, my mom's awake, so no scares... the next few days, my mum's real dependent... until now, i sleep for every 10 minutes of an hour to give her meds... take note.... yan lang ang sleep ko..haha... hay, magsshift na akong nursing... joke... but a good thing, i brought back the habit of listening to the radio at night (with the help of some newfound informatio about someone... haha... for me to know, and you to... well, find out)

****
amazing....

seventeen and three-fourth years ago, my mom would stay up late to make sure i'm ok..
seventeen and three-fourth years later, it's my turn to stay up late for her...

seventeen and three-fourth years ago, my mom would would feed me..
seventeen and three-fourth years later, it's my turn to feed her...

seventeen and three-fourth years ago, my mom would help her as she walks her way around..
seventeen and three-fourth years later, it's my turn to walk her (pero nandadaya ako, natutulog ako sa beach chairs namin)...

seventeen and three-fourth years ago, my mom would say "hiphiphooray" after I finish my milo..
seventeen and three-fourth years later, it's my turn to say "hiphiphooray" after she finishes her food...

seventeen and three-fourth years ago, my mom would sing lullabyes to me..
seventeen and three-fourth years later, it's my turn to sing the modern version of rockabye baby...

that's the circle, cycle of life.... as my mom said, it's payback time.... and as say, "ang aga naman, masyado pa akong bata... haha.."
****

i've decided not to get my clearance on monday... big deal no? as i told gra, first, i'd waste three hours, one hundred pesos and effort to get a piece of paper that is not essential to my life... second, i'm not that comfortable leaving my mom alone... third, i have really bad allergies... and when i say bad, i mean bad... fourth, i know my grades :(...last, I feel lazy... sabi ni jessa un un e... truthfully, ayoko munang bumalik ng uste... not in awhile..

yuck, laugh trip...haha...
****

my cats were so cute awhile ago... matched by their color, pair by pair they slept at our front door.. then naconcious ung isa coz i was taking photos, he licked himself and then slept again... hay, gusto ko magbuhay pusa...
****

at last, mapupublish na ito...haha....
