Take a Whack at Year 2010

2010-12-28T18:35:00.000+08:00

So how should I do this? It would be impossible to write about my 2010 without sounding emotional yet an overanalyzed tirade of "award shows"-like appreciation. It was just a rollercoaster of extreme events that happened one after another.

WINTER (JANUARY - FEBRUARY)

This year started with me flying to Vancouver to have a 10-day review and write the PEBC Evaluating Exam. This time also served as the trial that would have us warm up to each other for our future living situation. After writing the exam, the waitea group decided to ditch the usual shopping in the downtown experience (sorry ate kel) and decided to take our adventure to the next level by exploring the roads, lakes and mountains to see the wonderful Capilano bridge. Later that day, we flew back to Manila to start the grueling waiting period.

SUMMER (FEBRUARY- APRIL)

Finally the results came out and everything suddenly became a blur. A whirlwind of events from acquiring documents to saying goodbye to people who I will surely miss later that year to shopping for a new wardrobe, this months were pretty hectic. It started with 896** being <3 and continued to getting our medical exam and documents done. I went to Tarlac to spend a little quality time with my grandfather and aunt, capture the sweet moments I can have left with them and took them to their doctors. Weeks later, I went back only to vista verde only to find out my mom turned into a whole shopaholic monster when she got too happy swiping her cards buying me TOO MANY STUFF. I ended up leaving half of them. I then got sick because of the weather and had to stay home for a couple of weeks while maximizing my days left serving the media ministry in church. I actually had fun doing presentations for Holy Week events, going to mass everyday and just plain catching up with my faith. Of course kpop was not totally out of the story, Dimples had hooked me up with suju presscon passes and a backstage sneak peak. Lucky for me, the sneak peak happened because i couldn't go due to my grandfather being rushed to the ICU on Good Friday. We spent the night in the hospital going back on Black Saturday and doing the whole Easter Sunday/Salubong run while waiting for my titos and titas to drive my ever so strong lolo back to vista verde. One my highlights this season was my cousin and lolo Cito being flown from Surigao/Cagayan de Oro to bid goodbye to me. Yup first time to ever meet Valdex and considered ourselves tour guides for 2 weeks. Oh did I mention that my dad came to see me too? Yup, after a good 2 and a half weeks we had to send him off to the airport again. Coincidentally, Tita Ruby's flight to the Philippines (had to rush back to Mla just in case my gramps didn't make it) was on the same date. Finally, I had to say goodbye to my other gramps and Valdex and got my departure date a little later that week. And after 3 days I hopped on to a plane to Canada. But before that an impromptu despedida parties separate for the friends who were practically family, college/high school friends, family and catechetical/media ministries.

SPRING (APRIL- JUNE)

And it was time to explore new grounds! Toronto baby!! CPS I started. PJ, mickey and I flew together with the Zellers group (Liezel, Gail, Michella, Mai, Zsa-zsa) to find ourselves cutting it close to the start of classes. Extremely jet lagged, we dragged ourselves to class the next day. A week later, Master J, Sheng and Russ followed and days apart, Raema, Irish and Jaira arrived. And batch 17 was finally complete. So we stroll in on the first day and who do i find? It's ste and joy(!) with their new friend, ken. So for the next few months, we bonded over NI's, ME's and the scarcity of EE's on our role plays, bundles and bundles of slides to read with what became our best friends our TC! oh yes therapeutic choices when did you ever leave our side? =)) Despite the load, we were able to squeeze in a little fun in our lives, discovering our love for the diversity of our palate preference. oh yes, FOOD! Who wouldn't have taken advantage of what seemed to be the melting pot of cultures in Spadina. So korean restaurant after korean restaurant, our hearts fell in love for Ka Chi.

SUMMER AGAIN (JUNE- JULY)

The terror of role playing ended in a breezy, summer day where we (+our new found friend, Jo) played with water and what seemed to be the promise of a good summer run. Then started the full blown, self tour of Ontario. I went from city to city, hopped on every bus, train, boat we could get our paws on, thinned the soles of our sneakers and burned a whole lot of calories strolling around town with my constant walking buddy, ken. Tugging along people who were game at joining the lengthy walks, it started with Wonderland celebrating canada day in harbourfront with jaira, joy, ste and mickey to center island the monday after, then crashed at raema's aunt's couch i proclaimed was my spot to the endless eat all you can's to visiting high park and strawberry picking in Niagara, to unionville the place for the elderly to the sunset in woodbine beach to ontario science center and back to center island to ontario's place, esplanade and the flatiron building in st lawrence market to that impromptu GO train trip to Hamilton, Vaughn mills to the barbeque at ate Glo's house to the Toronto pass tour seeing Royal Ontario Museum to CN tower to Casa Loma to four seasons theatre to watch Ms Saigon to Toronto Zoo and finally to Wonderland again this time with the people who were in hiatus in the states (Joy) or busy packing her things to move (Ste)! Oh yes, if that sounded like fun, you should have been there to experience THE fun.

FALL (JULY- OCTOBER)

It was the start of a new season indeed and new season means new set of emotions. I was starting to miss home as my birthday was nearing but this season started with CPS II that seemed to be going thrice as fast as CPS I went. Role playing became twice as intense as there were already real actors to deal with and a whole new concept of self care. August came and the fear of celebrating my first birthday away from home was creeping toward me. But it was all good as the eve of my birthday was celebrated with my family skyping/dancing/showing me my cake and ended with lighting sparklers, celebrating my love for planes by flying the paper ones and goofing around balloons with raema, mickey, irish, PJ, sheng and Ken at our backyard. The real birthday started with me going to church in one of the most peaceful cathedral's I've ever been to in my whole life (St. Michael's), eating a greek breakfast, running to school to finish my "wrong medication" role plays, ended with blowing the candles of my big mac and having possession of my FIRST EVER HAPPY MEAL. oh what a day which ended with sheng surprising mickey and I with an ice cream cake. As CPS II rolled, I got even more stressed and bored with my life so with my the little extra time I got from my school work, we either walked our feet off with the view of the skyline of toronto or mini-inukshuks or threw our frustrations off with pebbles. Of course exploring new cuisine never left our premises as joy, ste, ken and our new eating buddy, Kasin paraded through the streets looking for new dishes that would entice our taste buds. October meant it was time to say goodbye. As the waitea group was juggling between studying and packing, after a month of stress, we had enough of it and partied at Tita's house for our despedida/Raema's birthday party. It ended in a bittersweet note as we were glad to have had the Zellers people as our friends it was really hard to bid goodbye to them including the people we have met in our CPS class like Liang, Naoya and of course my "dad" in class Yaser. So after 5 hours in a plane with Chi, we were finally in Vancouver.

WINTER AGAIN (OCTOBER-DECEMBER)

After a whole week of adapting to new environment and dealing with the little knowledge we have of interior design. November started which just meant one thing, MCQ's were days away. On the third and fourth of this month we sat through 8 hours for the written part of the "boards exam" of pharmacy in canada. Then we were suddenly free. And the overanalyzing, workaholic little freak that I am who can't deal with the nothingness to do, I got panic attacks. Thanks to the people here in surrey gardens, my family, and the people who have checked in on me through the internet whether it was skyping, yming or twittering (warning: name dropping as token of my appreciation) Thanks to Irish, Sheng, PJ, Clae, Cathe, Dimples, Monik, Kel, Doc Beegee, Anna May, Raema, Mickey and Ken, I survived this whole panic episode until finally good news (for me) came about starting our volunteer work. So Save on Foods Willoughby #992 had no choice but to open their arms to me and feed my clueless brain and train me for i guess what you can call my future full time job. Days before christmas, we received bittersweet news about our results where it was just the most heartbreaking thing to wish for everyone else to have been in the same place as me. Celebrating christmas away from home has proved to be the most unconventional way to spend it. Of course for firsts, Tita Ruby sent me a package all the way from the states just to make sure I get something to open this yuletide season and I sent a package whose shipping was a whole lot more expensive than whatever was in it to the my parents and sister just so they could feel my presence for christmas. It was my first time to spend christmas in bed but for a good reason. After work, I went to the Tagalog Christmas Eve mass which was a total tearjerker especially after singing my favorite song "Ito ang araw". Then, I pulled an all nighter on christmas eve to talk to nacpil-ordona clan. All in all, both ends tried their best to bridge the gap through a skype-christmas party (thank God for technology!) [pwede na ba akong endorser ng skype]

And so this year was a year of ties. Nope not neckties it just proved that friendship can go a long way if you ARE actually a long way from home. So the new found friends, need i still mention them? (Liezel, Gail, Michella, Mai, Zsa-zsa, Jaira, Master J, Russ and Donna, Ate Glo and Ate Jo, Joy and Ste waitea people (paulit ulit!) you guys just enumerate yourselves here haha. oh fine fine Raema, Mickey, Sheng, Irish and PJ; to the friends who have missed me dearly (HAHA.) and to the friends who I have missed dearly too; to the friends who have been miles away from me and yet turned into family Nik, Dimples, Ikai, Bernice, Cathe, Ken and Clae; to my family (extended or immediate) especially to sam who i know misses me because of the lack of patron tequila nights and of course my sister who ALSO keeps missing me and projects it by typing tear-jerking statuses over her facebook account and of course to God, I have all to thank for this blissful yet one heck of a year it was. And here's to 2011 where I hopefully get licensed and finish this calvary of getting pseudo-salaries, to having a way way better year and to more whacked adventures than 2010. cheers!

i want to...

2010-11-08T05:27:00.000+08:00

I want to go home and open those brown gates and be greeted by my cats, ring the doorbell like crazy and sit on the white bench while waiting for someone to greet me at the doorstep.

I want to go home and kick off my shoes near the open door and leave them there knowing that i'd be scolded moments later for not putting it inside the shoe rack.

I want to go home and trod the few stairs that we have, go straight to my green room and plop myself unto my violet sheets, crack an Archie comics open while slowly feeling sleep come upon me, draw my heavy curtains so darkness could be cast into my already naturally dim-lit room. As my eyes slowly close, i want to tug my brown, tickly blanket until i cover my face. Hours later, I want to wake up to the familiar smell of snacks my mom would conjure up for me.

I want to go home and go to down to the kitchen after my afternoon nap and wander around the stove, grab a bowl of soup on the side of whatever my mother cooked for me, go back to the clean kitchen and rummage our refrigerator for a sweet treat to go with my snack, trudge my way upstairs to the masters bedroom and flip through the channels knowing that I'd end up watching my routine shows, Ned Declassified, iCarly then Everybody loves Raymond.

I want to go home and feel sick and tired of watching, go outside only to be greeted by Yuki incessantly rubbing his tiny head on my legs while I'm throwing pinches of hardened pan de sal at Juan, eyeing on Batcat's jealous eyes, and irritating Kyo by trying to touch his glorious and speckless mane.

I want to go home and walk in the garden, insulting my mother's row of blooming plants while in reality I've been marveling myself with them, watch them plant more flowering shrubs while eyeing on my evil cats who are simultaneously re- digging whatever they have dug up. I then want to get tired of playing outside and start demanding that I be fed once again.

I want to go home and place myself on my throne in the breakfast nook, ordering everyone around and then start eating without them, change the channel to disney and start laughing my dinner away. I then want to go back to the refrigerator and look for a sweet treat and a tall glass of cold water, drag my thin mattress to the master's carpet and lay in front of the tv. I want to turn on the laptop and chat with my friends while they tv is still on. I want to watch the reruns of Friends and the succeeding shows depending on what day it is until dawn and finally feel like getting some shut eye.

I want to go home and turn off the tv and bask in total darkness, scaring myself of the silhouettes of what I can make out of the trees outside the window, then deduce into overthinking every single thing I have seen or done that day.

I want to go home and wake up at dawn and start walking to the church which is minutes away from our house, say mass, talk to the elderly and then walk home with my earphones plugged and the music on full blast. I then want to pass by all the houses i usually see and greet the people I know like superlolo or that guy who walks his three dogs every morning or Mrs. Camat who brags about her kids every single day.

I want to go home and smell the aroma of freshly baked pan de sal wafting through the doors of our house, take a bunch and eat them on the table of our secret garden. I then want to go back to the house to watch some early morning tv or go back to sleep.

I want to go home and take out the decorations from the storage room, unload them and start hanging them around the house. I want to take out the miniature belen and find ways onto how we could make the illusion of a Star of Bethlehem pointing at the tiny baby Jesus. I want to hang the lace and lights all around the banisters, balusters and the bar.

yeah, i guess i just want to go home and do this all over again.

The aroma of bacon and eggs woke her up. It jolted her back to reality from the deep slumber she was in just minutes before. The bubble of her fantasy world that she once built in her sleep was immediately burst by the scent that wafted through crevices of her wall.

She stood up and hopped to the kitchen, eyeing on the plate that was filled with what she wanted. She knew what she wanted. "This for me?" she asked. "Uh-hmmm.." says the cook. She wolfed it down with great delight while staring at the back of the cook.

She sank her teeth into the cinnamon toast and a sense of nostalgia rushed through her. She was back at her high school gym. She glanced at her side and saw that there was only one more person left. "Alice!" the boy called out and the girl at her side started walking up front. She saw the team she was walking towards to was frowning at her.

She was then zapped back to reality, in the kitchen and stared down at her breakfast, pushed it away and stared harder. She wanted someone to tell her that it was alright but the cook was busy rummaging through the cabinets.

little girl in a big chair

2010-08-01T02:10:00.000+08:00

Once upon a time in a faraway land, there was a princess who loved decorating her castle. The time came when she had to fill her room with all the majestic fixtures she could ever want and have. She had all the lavish drapes, grand bed, antique study and the extravagant chandeliers money could buy. All was good until she looked around and realized something was missing! She did not have the proper reading chair. One that could be a little nook of her own. One where in she could get away from the world. So she took upon the task of looking for the perfect chair. She looked high and low and travelled great seas just to find this chair. Every single one she tried to sit on had their own characters.

There were the ones made of wood. Refreshing to sight, it reminded her of the times she would lay and play around in the woods. Some were rocking and some were stable. Some were hard and rough but some were smooth. She loved it, but something was not right. She knew it was not for her.

There were the ones made of steel. Cold to touch, it warmed her after sitting on it for awhile. Some were modern and minimalist but some were vintage and chic. She loved it, but something was not right. She knew it was not for her.

There were the ones made of stone. Elegant to taste, it satisfied her quench and passion for fashion. There were the intricately carved marbles and there were the slabs of stone made into benches. She loved it, but something was not right. She knew it was not for her.

Finally, after being miles away from home, she found the perfect chair. Pleasing to sight, touch and satisfying to taste, she wanted this and had to have this particular chair. As she ran her fingers back and forth through the luxurious fabric, she wanted it more. She was completely enamored by the looks of it. She had to try to sit on it and when she did, she was immediately swallowed whole by the chair. She didn't want to leave it or get up from it.

She absolutely loved it, but something was not right. She knew it was not for her. The owner would not sell for he did not need money. But he agreed to exchange it for strenuous physical and mental labour. So yes, it was not for her. Yet.

I don't know how this story ends or how it is supposed to end. Ask me in ten years?

every joint in my body is aching with all the carrying, walking and stressing over the limited foot space and still it isn't the worst thing i am feeling right now. I've always found myself to be self sufficient, and still i had yet to prove that i'm not fully worthy of this adjective. I feel so weak and regretful that I didn't hug my mom as much as I wanted to. And yes I am finally admitting to this because right now I feel like a fool- a fool who is a thousand miles away from her support group. And feel like crying but crying just makes me think I've given up to this hopeless situation I haven't even given a chance yet. I need something familiar, and no, bringing loads of clothes from the Philippines does not even touch the surface of enough. then I realized that it's because they're almost all new. No memories with these, never been worn or been glanced at for more than a minute or two. Clean Slate. Yes, this clean slate I have been given is a challenge I'm still wracking my brain to accept. Because in less than hour, we are going to make the rally of our lives trying to make decisions we will have to live on for the rest of our lives. or at least for the next 6 months. A priest once told me that it is up to a person to find his happiness in a certain place. Maybe it is because we haven't left the apartment yet or because since day one up to the last minute of our arrival here, we have already galloped through enough hoops for a lifetime that is making me feel so much more agitated. so, self sufficient? not yet, but i think i'll get there. give me a couple weeks more.

2010-01-01T07:46:00.001+08:00

this has probably been the most interesting I had yet. in 4 words the "best and worst year".

A lot has happened, changed, abolished and renewed. Last year's post was composed during my humdrum Dec 31 in the hospital moment and this year its all about home.

How did it start? come to think of it, I can't remember what happened in the first quarter of 2009. my sister got her first permanent job in The Medical City.

personally,nothing really significant except for finally quitting my crappy job and finally taking the plunge which my mom has so adamantly demanded. I honestly didn't think I would pass it. but God definitely moves in mysterious ways. and when it's His will, there is absolutely no way for us to defy His plan. so slacking didn't really help me achieve what I wanted. (jan-mar 2009)

The start of the quarter was the start of recognizing the religious me. It was the first time i helped out with the summer catechism due to lack of manpower my mom's team had.

I guess this was around the time I got a very important call, went for the interview, and finally "reviewed" for a series of exams [which by the way, doesn't seem to have an end to it.]

Panic was definitely a theme this quarter because the English proficiency test date was announced two weeks before the actual exam. but then again, blessings nonstop [9-9-7.5-7-8]. Around this time, very odd twist came in the form of a dvd. during one gateway trip before Bernice left for Davao, she handed me the key to what became an addiction. (apr-jun 2009)

The addiction spread like a virus in my brain. BOF turned into BL

turned into LSG turned into 1N2D turned into KHD, EJW, LSuG, KimC and of course my favorite MCM. 1n2d!!!

i would literally have no sleep just to download and watch episodes of this hilarious variety show. up to this date, i can't stop smiling when i think about the classic comedic acts these 6members have done. On a more serious note, the review classes went on full blast when the IELTS task was done. had much much fun with these people! Sunday was definitely something to look forward to.

What was more significant in this quarter, was that right smack in the middle of it, was my turning to a legal for everything age. woot woot. gambling here i come! haha. spent this year's birthday with 1n2d in a very peaceful ambiance and topped it off with a simple gathering with my cousins, Fr Gerry, and the cake I baked [just had to say it].

This quarter ended with yet another major exam that would determine my schedule for the homestretch of the year.

But then, when September was about to end, something devastating happened. Ondoy happened [sep26, 2009]. The wrath of mother nature that has washed up our house has not only left us financially confused but also made us mentally torn, emotionally wounded and physically weak.

bern: may class nmn kmi. di na nila mahalata un
kL Ordoña (9/26/2009 8:42:08 AM): kainis. super baha dito

bern : tlga?

kL Ordoña : as in papasok na sa bahay.as in nasa doorstep

bern : init dito!! wlang ulan

kL Ordoña (9/26/2009 9:03:32 AM): malaro nga to

bern: haha. may bago ka ng game! g2g na. log in ka na sa fb ko. haha

bern : bye! see you tom!

kL Ordoña (9/26/2009 9:07:55 AM): ok cge ako bahala sa barn buddy mo

bern (9/26/2009 9:08:40 AM): kung gsto mo mgtanim ka kpg last harvest na ung natira. thanks

kL Ordoña (9/26/2009 9:11:10 AM): nku di ko nagets..ahhahaha...haharvest ko naalng..

then the turmoil SUDDENLY happened. we all evacuated the house by 9:30am (jul-sep 2009)

It was indeed a moment of many firsts. First time to evacuate our beloved house, first time to deal with the flood alone (alone=no parents), first time to fear for my life, first time to worry about my mom who was miles away from us, first time to be scared of the dark because it felt like the black hole was just eating us up. I couldn't eat right, sleep right, think right.

The catastrophic event just left us speechless, homeless for more than a month [kudos to tita yang and sam for letting us live with them]. Long story short, nothing but our house's foundation was left. but what's worse was the trauma attached to the event. but something peculiar had happened to me. my ice cold heart had just turned into a more stoic rock if it were possible. not only that, my head seems to be floating, wandering into a better place. which probably is the logic behind my monotone blog right now. there are no feelings. no excitement, no nervousness, I don't know what has struck me but it seems that this physique is better than my previous facades. I've never felt so dazed or been in a trance for this long. Two things good that came out of this experience: i've never been so appreciative of hot food and more bonding time with Sammy.

November was a better month. thing is, this flood will never be erased from memories. On a lighter note, this was when I just had a deep appreciation for my friends who were concerned. Kpop was also added to my list around this time. Starking had a whole different effect on me. suju, after school, 2pm, bigbang -- taeyang (yehess monik, favorite!).

there is an 85% chance i'd laugh at this after 10years but what the hell, they're really entertaining people. i know i know it's not me to fangirl or go boycrazy with these people. but heck, all of them seem to be extremely talented.

December came and i felt like the bad episode of clean house (starring our house) has finally ended... but then we still have to take off our blindfolds to open our eyes. (you'll get it if you watch the show.) It is the most un-christmas a christmas could get. no decorations, no lavish dinners, no anything. to top this season off, i actually have church duty [not much of a burden though] and to study on christmas and new year.

what a way to end this year. (oct-dec)

before i end this post, i would like to thank a bunch of people. feeling ko awards show to. but seriously, they made my mundane life a tad exciting. all the new found friends in the church (ICP-VVEV), clutario family for their hospitality, my family and of course my trusted friends: DIMPLES (si manghahawang spoiler and for our everyday conversations about everything and anything), BERNICE (sun-mate! ah yess, you may be in davao but you're still one hell of a friend), MONIK (ym, come back here! or should i go there? january is catching up time. =)), CAEG (loyal tayo sa pagiging loner. and pagiging bangag. and sa paguusap parin sa ym kahit naiwanan na.), TRILLA and GERLIE (thanks sa load nung ondoy, big help un) GRACE (seatmate, we need to see each other!) ATE VYR (for all the tips, and putting up with me and my stupid litany of questions) and of course KATH ZABAT.

and to EVERYone who hooked up (literally like 9 new couples in just 2 weeks, cupid's supply of arrows must be depleted.) may you continue to be in that kilig stage for as long as you live. or at least as long as you want it to be.

if last year was all about new experiences, this year was definitely about finding and learning more about myself. although up to this date, it still feels like I'm still in a hallow, bottomless pit still unaccomplished. but next year, hopefully will be the year of life-changing trips and exams, twists and turns, hoops and loops and hopefully, emotions too.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERY ONE!

how many more bullets are there anyway?�

ohhhhh. God is not only good.. he is sooooooo GREAT.

but seriously. the competitive mini me wants to ask myself why i didn't study more. hmmmp. i guess i'm OC and perfectionist like that. didn't want it to be a pass or fail thing.

i can't really categorize this as hard-earned. probably it'll go to the bad-health-earned group.

don't ask. or go figure. better yet, ask me in person if you're that intrigued.

i would have disclosed the facts, but i don't really want to sound conceited, obnoxious or boastful.

although technically, i can. this is my blog after all. =P

wahahaha! Sht!I love it! Gm"

Finally, I watched Wall-E!

2009-06-22T05:32:00.000+08:00

Wall e is the modern day Soylent Green which tackles the long term effects of mass consumerism. In the movie, it takes a group of dysfunctional robots, led by Eve and Wall-E, to save the Earth from the trash man has piled up.

It starts with Wall-e being the only survivor of his kind, who was invented to clean up the world so the humans can resume their living after 5 years in space. Little did the administration know that this task would take 700 years to complete. So when Eve’s kind, the probe which was created with the directive to search for existence of life as a sign of a once again habitable planet, accepts Wall-e’s plant as a gift, she shuts down and is taken back to the spaceship. Walle then tries to rescue her. He is greeted by the mass who now doesn’t know how to walk due to lethargy and dependence on technology. The captain of the ship then addresses his growing curiosity of what earth is and what people would normally do only to find out that the human race is now being controlled by Axiom’s computers. Just like any other fairy tale, Wall-E ends with a happily ever after.

Two scenes struck me the most. First would be the discovery of a plant by wall-e. It shows that amidst the mess we made is a growing life and that if we don’t act sooner, our planet will end up being inhabitable. In my opinion, we should save and enhance what is left of the real earth for our next generations to cherish just as we do right now. Another would be the part when WallE bumped into Mary, a human being. Prior the encounter, Mary was busy chatting on her video call about the superficiality of her companions while she looked at a billboard stating that red was the new blue. And in an instant, everyone including Mary, purchased the new look. It deals with two other points which are consumerism and technology.

Not only has the consumerism issue manifested on the planet but also with the people who once lived in it. Everyone was obese with processed food that was being advertised over their little hubs. Because they weren’t aware of the existence of natural commodities, they have been sucked up with the world that was as easy as making a milkshake (have to watch the movie in order to understand). And because of their sloth, they have been totally reliant on the most vanguard equipment for the simplest tasks like walking and talking.

All in all, the movie was created to hand a sense of warning in an entertaining way of how our land would soon turn out if we do not make changes. It shows the irony of how a robot can appreciate the quest for life while men would rather sit around. In the end, emphasis on the point that even if WallE initiated the world’s makeover, it takes a whole race to implement that change.

solo flight.

2009-05-22T03:38:00.000+08:00

i can't help but feel lonely today. and I'm blaming it on my fluctuating intra/interpersonal relations. or in lighter words. the hot then cold.

I'd rather have a blanket than a comforter, if you know what i mean.

I guess I never felt this before because I didn't have the need to depend on anyone. well, i still don't feel that way but it would be nice to change the system once and for all. I can survive by myself and want to know if I could survive with everyone else.

I don't know if I'm a people person but I would love to try and be one. No man is an island diba? I guess there is something to be said when I'd rather rant on my blog than to a real human being.

And I know this is so the drama, and is not how I roll but I can't stop thinking about the fact that no one really told me to do this alone. to take the plunge alone. I just thought that it was a given for me and so I never thought of the alternative- to jump in with the herd.

Don't think that I'm complaining because I'm not and frankly I have nothing to complain about. The realization just dawned to me and now the fear has caught up. This is probably a step up from not being able to recognize what kind of feelings i am feeling.

that and I just want the lonely people to know that they are not alone at being alone.

OHMYGADDDDDD

hahaha... God is sooooooooooo good. ahhhh! thank you Lord kahit naging masama akong bata.

eeeeppp! at last may direction na buhay ko...

apparently i looooove confusing myself.

just for kicks i open jobsdb.com everyday and check out non-pharma related jobs and send my resume out.

stupid. stupid. stupid.

i did it for fun.

but when my dream job, in a school i think i'll loooove because it reminds me of my school in Malaysia (Sayfol International School), calls and asks me to do a demo about types of energy for grade 5 students, dammmmmn i'm confused.

bison is the rate-limiting factor. every decision from now on is based on my results of the agency that takes 5 weeks to decide on whether we make it in their program.

so see the dilemma.

i want it to be my fallback but my mom hates the idea. she wants me to "stick to pharma"

rar. the demo's on wednesday and i doubt bison will release their results by then.

btw the school's: http://www.reedleyschool.com/ (i set it to the page I'd love to show you-- with the reedley houses reminding me of the sayfol houses (clover, marigold, shamrock, violet)

what to do? what to do?

apparently i looooove confusing myself.

too lazy to blog

2009-05-01T12:43:00.000+08:00

but im blogging because i did promise sammie a blog about haunting.

so monday, sam and i totally pigged and chilled out. sta lucia lang. it was 2pm,we had nothing to do so her dad drove us to the mall (perks of having ang overprotected cousin -->free rides!). original plan was to watch 17 again only. so we were 30mins early for the next show so we bought our McDonald's, i did miss my double cheeseburger with large fries. then the show started. zac efron was hot! but sterling knight was hotter! sam and i were totally digging knight more than efron.

movie finished, but we weren't ready to go home. she wanted to watch t2, i wanted to watch fast and the furious. we settled for haunting in connecticut. but the show didn't start for a good hour and a half. so we looked for food. and found ice cream! yey! then pizza. then more soda. and finally the haunt begins!

i know rotten tomatoes gave it a "rotten" review but man, by the end of the show, my body hurt because of the fear my cousin and i were bottling up inside. i mean seriously. we were like, "there's more?". the scaring never ended until the last minute. and what's spookier than it being a true story!

just google it/watch it for more info.

****
apparently the government has become more strict with issuing licenses. you have to have a tin number now. and fyi, it is so freakin hard to get one. the process is simple. but i had to go back and forth the marikina branch for like 3 times only to find out that I can't register in marikina. so we had to go to taytay and wait for 3 hours just to find out that we have to go back the next day just for a friggin number. rar.

****
and finally. i'm driving. hah. hmmm..tell you more when i'm not too lazy to think of words.

in the meantime, follow me on twitter.

i'm gonna call it "battle for the terrain"

2009-04-22T16:15:00.000+08:00

before the psp was invented, or nintendo thought of ds lite, or DOTA or any online game, there was Grand Theft Auto, Warcraft: orcs and humans, warcraft II: tides of darkness, and my favorite: Warcraft III:Reign of Chaos. yes, back when computer games were the deal, I was a gamer. I probably still consider myself a gamer, just not so obssesed with it anymore.

but that isn't the story.

i had the coolest dream last night.

it was video game-- and i was in it.

i know i know, i have to work on the title because it sucks. and probably the rest of level 2 and the start of level 3 and 4.

so it starts with two teams. I was the commander of the right side. we had troops of course. I chose my team to have the equal amount of boys and girls, because yes, girls can kick ass too. my opponent chose children..weird huh. but i guess i made up the rule that 1adult=4children. so she had 3x (wasn't all kids) the size of my team.

wait why am i using she? well, we both have captains, but for some reason we (commanders)called the plays. and for another odd reason, we were the ones guarding the base. kung baga sa agawan base, kami yung laging naiiwan dun.

so the usual fight goes on. and i realize i don't know the rules. i just direct them to where they should be, what they should do, what the should do after their direct opponent dies, when i can substitute my men, and of course monitor the health of my captain.

so "round 1" is coming to a close and I finally learn about a rule. my troops pile in because the opponents asked for a time out with 1:25 minutes to spare. then they say, "we have to decide now, whether to take it this round or not."

i'll stop with the narrating and start with the describing. the game has 4 quarters. each quarter consists of 5mins of battle time but the game will end once the captain's dead, but the game will pretty much finish once the commander's out because she's the one manipulating the plays. each camp consists of a sand tower. level one shows the first floor of the tower which consists of a hub where the commander stays to protect herself from the fight (which is weird because you already have the tower for that. but i guess it's for double protection), stairs behind the hub for the waiting troops, sacks and sacks of ammo, clubs swords and guns and a screen that can have multi-panes so you can either focus on one fight or the fight in a whole. the entrance of the tower was regulated by a gate and two doors. the battle ground started 4 feet from the entrance. There was a part which was elevated but the flat ground was the main battleground.

Rule #1: besides the existing 20mins of the game, each team can get use another 5mins on one level they wish to extend. that makes the game have a total of 30mins of playing time

and that was what they were deciding on. my troops were divided, some wanted to use the 5mins now, some wanted to use the 5 mins on level 4.

argument 1: our team was still strong, another 5mins would probably weaken us.

argument 2: we get the 5mins over with because we're the leading team, so that if something went wrong with level 4, it would be quick.

i had to decide. and so to be fair, we voted on it. argument 1 won.

but that wasn't the coolest part. commander from the opponent's team went to the entrance of the base. and she said, "we have to find a fair way to start this game again" and so we agreed on positioning our troops on the field and the "referee" would shout "FIGHT!". i was standing on the entrance, watching the live action, when my attention focused on one of my troops not doing anything in front of 5 children. I shouted "FIGHT! wth are you doing!" she shouted back that she was finished (because the 5 kids were already on our side. so apparently we can do that)

Rule #2: some of the warriors have mental abilities to make the children (only) switch teams.

she also mentioned that she was waiting for further instructions. so i directed her to help someone in the elevated terrain.

THEN.

i realized that the opponent's commander was still standing near our entrance. and i ask "hey can we do that? i mean, can we actually wander or fight with them?"

she answers "no, but we can fight among ourselves" and comes in with her weapon drawn and pointed at me, closes the doors behind her andmoves forward. I realized that i don't have any weapon on me. heck i don't even know if i have one. then i spot something sword-like in my hub. and quickly draw one to reveal that at the end of the handle was something that appeared to be a glass tubing (like the ones we use in our labs). i don't know how to use it.

but for the first time, i see myself (wearing a gold dress just like the egyptians) and say "really, we're allowed to fight?" haha. so i let the end of my glass tubing hit her left arm, and there like a syringe, i drew blood from her." and suddenly a health bar (like the one in street fighters) appears above her head, and is slowly reducing and the green turning to a golden brown. but we are interrupted by a messenger, who makes my attention shift and my catch run away.

darn. i thought i would win.

seconds were left on level 1. but it was a good fight especially now that I know my opponent was weaker than I.

level 2 was starting and an elevator was revealed. and so I checked the new floor, and all i saw was an old man meditating in a very dark room with 3 windows that show a better view of the fight. i don't know how that old man will be beneficial to the fight because I did wake up to the smell of toasted bread.

darn i'm hungry.

i'm gonna call it "battle for the terrain"

hooked on the ted failon case

2009-04-17T05:09:00.001+08:00

i'm hooked because i'm dead bored... but maaan how twisted can it be?

it's like i want to be the csi and the lawyer of this case. i just want to know the intricate (parang fabric lang) details of the case. there are just so many things you just want to ask.

like: what was the "financial problem" that was so intense that she would end up killing herself?

like: how was she not dead on arrival with that kind of shot?

like: if ted's negative with the paraffin test, and trina's negative with the paraffin test, who shot the gun?

like: was there a conspiracy between ted and the members of the household including trina's sister?

like: why are the police treating the in-laws that way? and in national tv? damn that's cruel.

like: is ted innocent? if he is, why was he "arrested"?

like: what are the grounds for the "obstruction of justice" of the househelp and in-laws

like: if it were suicide, why is it such a big deal?

but i guess the biggest mystery for me is:
i don't get twitter at all... what the hell does "@_____" mean... does that mean your writing in reply to that person? or did that person write that in reply to your tweet? hahaha gaaddd. slow

facebook-ing

2009-04-16T03:47:00.000+08:00

answering the quizzes in facebook takes up almost half of my day because i have to admit, they are really really entertaining.

so i stumbled into a different quiz and i know i'm supposed to paste it on a note in my facebook, but i don't do that, so i'll just paste it here:

Instructions:
1. Open this website : http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx
2. Take the Personality Quiz (it's VERY short and easy, really)
3. Copy Paste the result to Facebook.
4. Tag your friends including me

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You have many goals and want to achieve as much as you can. The jobs you enjoy are those that let you burn off your considerable excess energy.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve

get it over with.

it's easier to fix other people's lives than your own.

you just know what to do. or say. you can use all the cliches in the book. you can wrack you brain for more cliches and it would still be easier-- than fixing your life.

i feel like i know everything when someone's unloading their thoughts to me. and i instantly know what to say.

so i tried. i tried to talk to approach my anxiety as though another person was "consulting" me with her problems. and i couldn't come up with the right answer. and it's so confusing. i want to be impulsive. i've never been impulsive with and in my life. it's not like i have that many choices.. right? gaahhhh.. shit.

finally.... a bum!

2009-03-19T03:56:00.000+08:00

yep! i spent my last day in mvmc with unit dosing and charging all the way. well, basically it was all out of guilt that i would be leaving them REALLY REALLY understaffed (sorry maam maan, maam aimee and monster wai!) haha...

and so here i am AGAIN. basking in the unknown just like i first received the news that i just passed the boards.

here's the thing. i want to do something so badly that i can just feel the excitement shoot right through my nerve endings. and i have been practically sleepless for almost 3 days (nights actually) thinking about it.

now i'm starting to realize that i'm wanting it out of my desperate need to do something new... again and again, i have told everyone that pharmacy isn't for me. but yeah, way to prove that right, right? i graduated and passed the board exam and thought, maybe i can stop being a baby about it, suck it up and live through the agony of drug listings. i thought that if i had experienced being the work force, i would say it wasn't so bad after all.

my parents have a VERY different plan for me. and they made it really clear. heck, my dad had to come home from thailand to convince me with what turned out to be a 5minute talk. i said yes. that fast. i didn't want to go through the gory details on how their plan would improve my life. apparently it's not not all about being happy but being happy with the right amount of money. and that is reality. no school would ever teach or prepare you for that.

so this is me, overanalyzing what i want. and what i want is to get out of this drug box. hah. if there's such thing...

so the eternal question is:

is my english good enough?

hahaha... kidding

FIGHT OR FLIGHT?

the oscars and the grouch

2009-02-24T05:11:00.000+08:00

I spend my oscar mornings as the stars do. I wake up early, eat breakfast, rummage through our kitchen's cabinets to stock up on cookies, lie down and wait for the show to start. ok,maybe not even remotely similar.

award shows start pretty much the same way every time. the pre-show shows off the stars' gowns and tux's which the fashion police will later criticize. but what i like about pre-shows are that's where they narrate to you the production process and what you will be seeing.

This year, the floor of the stage was decorated like michaelangelo designed a plaza in Rome. A curtain made out of more than a thousand swarovski crystals, every crystal having a different cut, hung from the ceiling. The orchestra which played a modernized version of classics like moonriver, songs of sing sing sing and a whole lot more, was taken out of the pit and placed in the stage. Beyond these preparations, the academy was obviously cost-cutting.

again like the grammy's, the oscar's showcased the mix of the old and the new generation of actors.

OPENING ACT
WOW! Hugh jackman was sooo good. He basically sang a musicl parody of the best motion picture nominees, slum dog millionaire, milk, benjamin button, the wrestler, frost/nixon. And the coolest part was when he carried "surprised" yet scripted anne hathaway to the stage where jackman was frost and hathaway played nixon. Jackman's hosting was definetly different from the previous hostings, singing and dancing on stage as opposed to doing stand up comedy.

PRESENTATION OF THE NOMINEES
this was done only to the 5 best actress/actor andsupporting actress/actor. A collection of clips of the previous dead or alive winners of their category was shown. Then stars(twinkling stars) explode and the screen breaks to five, like an artwork, the broken screen shows 5 previous alive winners who will present the nominees and winners for the said category. The broken screen is lifted and the presentor walks forward. Each presentor was assigned to give a speech/chat/crack a joke to their assigned nominee and when everyone's through, the actor in the middle announce this year's winner.

And what is a better way to present the best motion picture nominees than having steven spielberg to do it.

MID-SHOW MUSICAL
this was the highlight of the show. hugh jackman singing about how the muscial is back. Consistent with the theme (classic made modern) jackman, with vanessa hudgens, zac efron, amanda seyfried, dominic cooper and beyonce, sang top hat, white tie and tails, big spender, singing in the rain, maria, you're the one I want, all that jazz, lady marmalade, one night only, you can't stop the beat, last chance, at last, don't cry for me argentina, mamma mia, over the rainbow.

video

WINNERS
i never realized penelope cruz had such a thick spanish accent. between kate winslet and cruz, i really thought winslet would faint, she was trembling as she made her acceptance speech. and sean penn, of course the gay film always has an award. It's probably because films under this topic show so much emotion. And I couldn't believe how nervous I was for slumdog millionaire for the best motion picture, but they did win. the stars of slumdog millionaire cheered like kids everytime one of their cast/crew won that when they finally won as a whole, it was just so fun to see. in fact speilberg was lost in the sea of the cast and crew of slumdog during their acceptance speech. wall-e winning of course! heath ledger winning and his family accepting the award in behalf of matilda.

UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS
tina fey and steve martin presenting- it was so natural that even if the didn't intend to make the audience laugh, well they did

jack black and jennifer anniston- how very awkward, not for the both of the them but because the cameras zoomed in on angelina jolie (black's co-star in kung fu panda) and brad pitt (ex-husband)

amanda seyfried and robert pattinson- he still looked like a very pale bloodsucker.

natalie portman and ben stiller- stiller dressed as joaquin phoenix

tribute to jerry louis

the animated film collection video. the one where wall-e chooses a video tape over the academy's trophy and after watching he's surprised to see that panda and the rest of the people in the video collection were watching too. the video ending with the roach winning

seth rogen, janusz kaminski and james franco video with franco stapling rogen

and one of the funniest moments: pattinson was sitting behind mickey rourke when rourke's nomination was announced, and he looked dead bored.

kyo's sick!

i feel like crying...

he's our grumpiest, grouchiest,smartest, most intelligent and most OC cat... so i identify myself with him...

there's a story behind his OC-ness. an ugly duckling story that is. he was the only survivor among KL's (kambing-lambing's) kitties and he's months older than yuki and shigure (that's why he's called kyo, because we had no idea chribrit was pregnant and kyo's the name of the cat in fruits basket). he was so ugly because he was thin and had exopthalmia. we always thought he would die or KL would eat him, but chribrit took him under her wing (or paw for this matter) and he survived. as he grew older, he fattened up and his exopthalmia became less obvious until it was completely "healed". but as he grew more handsome, he became more concious of himself, licking himself everytime someone touches him until it came to the point where he wouldn't let us touch him. but still.. we love him. we love teasing him that we were coming near, attempting to touch him and he would get angry, glare at us and just take out his paw ready to defend his rights.

he's like garfield except he's cleaner and lazier. he looooveeesss good food. he knows when it's expensive and when it's cheap.

even if we seldom touch or play with him (because he won't let us touch his clean and groomed fur), he's still my favorite among our cats.

now, he just lays there. and we know he's sick because he doesn't mind us touching him. and the cat who had a big appetite would stare at his food because he can't eat. we know he's hungry because he attempts to eat, but once food hits his throat he automatically throws up.

you may think this is a useless blog, but you don't know how much respect we have for this cat and the rest of his clan or how attached we are to our pets (including energizer and the rest of the bunnies). he knows when we're just bluffing or when it's real.

sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me---my cats would have to be in trouble to achieve that.

it's just so troubling. now i know how my sister felt when my dad ran over mufasa..

i open people.com and see "the clintons bid farewell to socks the cat" and think, is this a sign? to end this post, i'm putting a picture in the memory of socks the cat and pray that i won't be doing this for kyo soon.

what's wrong with what i said?

2009-02-11T12:22:00.000+08:00

there's this company which is having a calling spree once again with our high school yearbook.

so they called me twice. both times i was sleeping and my mom and helper had to wake me up because they thought it was an important phone call... the second call was an hour ago with me voiceless, weak and really sick

the first call (male) was alright, but the second (female) was pretty interesting. the female caller said the exact same thing as the male caller with a twist:

(all of the lines in CAPS LOCK was the lines the female and male caller said)

caller: HI IS THIS KRIZIA LOUISE ORDONA

me: yes, who's this?

caller: YOU DON'T KNOW ME PERSONALLY BUT I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE AN ALUMNI OF ST SCHO MARIKINA?

me: yes, i am

caller: OK, THIS IS A BUSINESS CALL, IS THIS A GOOD TIME?

me (to the female caller): oh, someone already called me and I'm really not interested

female caller (trying to challenge me): what's the name of the company?

me: i can't remember

female caller (sounding irate): then how can you be sure?

me: you have the same script

female caller: whatever

*toot toot toot toot*

i told my mom the story, and she said "ikaw kasi masyado kang----" she stopped... and so now i'm wondering if I actually said something wrong.

to my defense, i have 2 points:
1. don't these companies have a checklist of whom they've already contacted? i mean come on, no means no.

2. what's so "business"-y with saying "whatever" and putting down the phone with a hint of a tantrum in it? I mean she was the one who said it was a business call, why did she seem irate/ offended that someone from their company had already contacted me? so much for professionalism

don't whatever me. that's my line. whatever.

so was it wrong to say that "they were scripted"? I don't have the best memory but I do remember the lines because both calls woke me from a good sleep. RAR. hahaha

51st grammy awards

2009-02-11T02:53:00.000+08:00

the "the view" girls were right. it was a complete mix of generations. artists from different timelines sang together.

here are a few of the performances/presentations/winnings i enjoyed:

taylor swift-miley cyrus: when i heard the commentator that they would be next, i was like, "oh great, the two divas" but i was really intrigued so i waited and actually enjoyed their duet which showed that swift was the better singer

jonas brothers and stevie wonder: wow! burnin' up and superstition. although i thought one of the jo bros forgot the lyrics.

carrie underwood: underwood doing rock. it was cool although i couldn't understand a word she was singing.

jennifer hudson: tear jerking performance. but of course the knowledge of the recent tragedy made the audience cry

estelle and kanye: american boiiiiiii... the man diva didn't make a scene. rephrase. the 10-time grammy award winner didn't make a scene

jt and t-pain: finally! "dead and gone" that's the title

lil wayne and rob thicke: unexpected tandem

al green: moon river

MIA: ready to pop..yep she was due that day, but heck even i would postpone the birth of my kid to attend the grammy's

katy perry had an interesting performance too... it was well, colorful

coldplay.. i'm not so sure about their neon colored jackets. but what the hell, they won 2 awards

adele winning the best new artist was shocking. i think everyone expected the jonas brothers to win.

whitney houston--- looked toasted, wasted and all the eds in the world that could describe here weird presence which was supposed to be her comeback

kid rock ruled! enough said.

and last but not the least (and my favorite part of the show) was the collaboration of justin timberlake with al green, keith urban and boys II men singing "let's stay together". It was the coolest mix considering it was a last minute (rather, last two hours) addition to the program what with all the chris brown-rihanna drama going on. the story according to the grammy's coordinator was when rihanna called to inform them that she would be a no-show because of an "accident" and minutes later, chris brown called that he couldn't make it, the coordinator went to timberlake's dressing room to ask if he could give green a ring. and lo and behold, he was in the tub. so "rub a dub dub, al in a tub" they had to transport him through a golf cart because of the traffic.

now for the chris brown-rihanna incident that makes me (for some reason) really sad, hmmm.. no comment? not that they need one. but i guess we have to wait for their story before we could judge.

so last Saturday i had my first and last 6am-2pm shift for the whole month of January... add the fact that it was my sister's birthday so I had to go to the mall to do some shopping! at last! but as i punched out, my throat was sore... again! i had to buy strepsils but since we didn't carry that product i decided to buy in the mercury beside the hospital.

I walk in to find myself interrupting a group conversation including the PAs and the pharmacists. they all look up and i wanted to feel embarrassed but the feeling was interrupted when the PA in front of me turned... he was asking me what i wanted but all i could think of was "ang gwapo naman nito"... he was soooooo goodlooking that i was ready to call him oliver even if it weren't his name (yes ikai and nikki, ganun siya kagwapo for me) and for people who actually know me, mahirap akong iplease pagdating sa ganun. so i sheepishly say,
"strepsils?"
"anong flavor?"
"uhhhmmm.."
"may mint, honey lemon--"
"mint."

then i scrammbled to get out of the place.

then yesterday, one of the humdrum-slash-i'm-so-tired moments dawned on me when a group of out-patients suddenly came. and there he suddenly was. i got the privilege to serve me. yes! then the tables were turned
"sir, may i help you?"
"..." (he just stared blankly)
"sir? magkasakasama ba kayo?" (pointing to the other opd's)
"..." (he negated with a nod)
"so?"
"maternity pads?"

I scrambled to make a charge slip then I shut up. my dutymate said:
"alamo ba, PA yun sa mercury"
"oo nga siya yung sobrang gwapo dun"
"oo nga, nakita mo na pala yun"
"kahapon lang, bumili kasi ako ng strepsils. pagtingin ko sabi ko ang gwapo naman nito"
then we started squealing like high school girls crushing on a heartrob.
"bakit kaya dito siya bumibili?"
"oo nga eh, andyan lang naman ang rob sa tabi natin"
"ano ba binili niya sayo?"
"maternity pads"
---stopped-----
me: "yuckkkkkk, may anak na siya!"
"malay mo pinabili lang sa kanya yun... tignan natin kung nakaconfine dito yung patient"

he came back to get the product and exchage charge slips with us. and my dutymate went out to check if he would ride the elevator. and he did!

me: "may anak na siya...huhu"
"hindi yan, malay mo pinabili lang sa kanya ng pamangkin niya"
"in denial?"
"hindi yannn, di siya yung may nanganak.."
"yeah right.. dapat pala tinanong natin yung mga NA kung may gwapong lalaki sa floor nila at kung me asawa nga siya... shit, dapat tinignan mo kung may ring!"

talk about being judgemental...hahaha.... it was fun while it lasted.

wouldn't it be cool to be a first daughter?

with all the craze about obama's inauguration, jenna and barbara bush wrote an open letter to the new first daughters of the US:

PLAYING HOUSE IN THE WHITE HOUSE
by jenna and barbara bush

"Sasha and Malia, we were seven when our beloved grandfather was sworn in as the 41st President of the United States. We stood proudly on the platform, our tiny hands icicles, as we lived history. We listened intently to the words spoken on Inauguration Day service, duty, honor. But being seven, we didn't quite understand the gravity of the position our Grandfather was committing to. We watched as the bands marched by -- the red, white, and blue streamers welcoming us to a new role: the family members of a President.

We also first saw the White House through the innocent, optimistic eyes of children. We stood on the North Lawn gazing with wonder at her grand portico. The White House was alive with devoted and loving people, many of whom had worked in her halls for decades. Three of the White House ushers, Buddy, Ramsey, and "Smiley", greeted us when we stepped into her intimidating hallway. Their laughter and embraces made us feel welcome right away. Sasha and Malia, here is some advice to you from two sisters who have stood where you will stand and who have lived where you will live:

-- Surround yourself with loyal friends. They'll protect and calm you and join in on some of the fun, and appreciate the history.

-- If you're traveling with your parents over Halloween, don't let it stop you from doing what you would normally do. Dress up in some imaginative, elaborate costume (if you are like us a pack of Juicy Fruit and a Vampiress) and trick-or-treat down the plane aisle.

-- If you ever need a hug, go find Ramsey. If you want to talk football, look for Buddy. And, if you just need a smile, look for "Smiley."

-- And, a note on White House puppies--our sweet puppy Spot was nursed on the lawn of the White House. And then of course, there's Barney, who most recently bit a reporter. Cherish your animals because sometimes you'll need the quiet comfort that only animals can provide.

-- Slide down the banister of the solarium, go to T-ball games, have swimming parties, and play Sardines on the White House lawn. Have fun and enjoy your childhood in such a magical place to live and play.

-- When your dad throws out the first pitch for the Yankees, go to the game.

-- In fact, go to anything and everything you possibly can: the Kennedy Center for theater, State Dinners, Christmas parties (the White House staff party is our favorite!), museum openings, arrival ceremonies, and walks around the monuments. Just go. Four years goes by so fast, so absorb it all, enjoy it all!

For four years, we spent our childhood holidays and vacations in the historic house. We could almost feel the presence of all the great men and women who had lived here before us. When we played house, we sat behind the East sitting room's massive curtains as the light poured in illuminating her yellow walls. Our seven-year-old imaginations soared as we played in the enormous, beautiful rooms; our dreams, our games, as romantic as her surroundings. At night, the house sang us quiet songs through the chimneys as we fell asleep.

In late December, when snow blanketed the front lawn, all of our cousins overtook the White House. Thirteen children between the ages of two and 12 ran throughout her halls, energized by the crispness in the air and the spirit of the season. Every room smelled of pine; the entire house was adorned with thistle; garlands wound around every banister. We sat on her grand staircase and spied on the holiday dancing below. Hours were spent playing hide-and-go-seek. We used a stage in the grand ballroom to produce a play about Santa and his reindeer. We watched as the National Christmas Tree was lit and admired the chef as he put the final icing on the gingerbread house.

When it was time, we left the White House. We said our goodbyes to her and to Washington. We weren't sure if we would spend time among her historical walls again, or ever walk the National Mall, admiring the cherry blossoms that resembled puffs of cotton candy. But we did return. This time we were 18. The White House welcomed us back and there is no doubt that it is a magical place at any age.

As older girls, we were constantly inspired by the amazing people we met, politicians and great philosophers like Vaclav Havel. We dined with royalty, heads of states, authors, and activists. We even met the Queen of England and managed to see the Texas Longhorns after they won the National Championship. We traveled with our parents to foreign lands and were deeply moved by what we saw. Trips to Africa inspired and motivated us to begin working with HIV/AIDS and the rights of women and children all over the world.

Now, the White House ballrooms were filled with energy and music as we danced. The East sitting room became a peaceful place to read and study. We ran on the track in the front lawn, and squared off in sisterly bowling duels down in the basement alley.

This Christmas, with the enchanting smell of the holidays encompassing her halls, we will again be saying our good-byes to the White House. Sasha and Malia, it is your turn now to fill the White House with laughter.

And finally, although it's an honor and full of so many extraordinary opportunities, it isn't always easy being a member of the club you are about to join. Our dad, like yours, is a man of great integrity and love; a man who always put us first. We still see him now as we did when we were seven: as our loving daddy. Our Dad, who read to us nightly, taught us how to score tedious baseball games. He is our father, not the sketch in a paper or part of a skit on TV. Many people will think they know him, but they have no idea how he felt the day you were born, the pride he felt on your first day of school, or how much you both love being his daughters. So here is our most important piece of advice: remember who your dad really is.

Jenna Bush is a writer and educator, the author of the book 'Ana's Story' and the co-author, with her mother Laura Bush, of the picture book 'Read All About It.'

Barbara Bush works for a public health-focused non-profit, Global Health Corps, and previously worked for The Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum."

i don't think bush was a bad president at all, probably unlucky that recession struck the US on his term... i think he didn't have a choice with going to war... well, staying in war he probably had to rethink... but what's done was done... and will one day be history... =)

hahahaha...

yuck, i've had an express cash atm card since i was first year college but opening my own express teller international account made me feel more mature...although blogging about it makes me immature right back again..hahaha..but i don't care... it's a debit card with my hard earned money in it where you can use as an eps (i don't know what it stands for but it basically means that like a credit card, some establishments accept it as a form of payment) hahahaha... and while i was having my card processed, they offered me an instant application for a credit card... too bad their first (and the only requirement i did not pass) requirement was i had to be at least 21 years old... tsk tsk... hahaha.. my age's holding me back..

and to news that makes me so proud to be her friend, bow down to my hs friend cathe for scoring the cover page (tama ba?) of a new magazine that will be launched this month: art in site... mahal nga lang siya kaya hanggang internet lang ako (but i really do want to check out to exhibit, that would be soooo cool!hahaha) ayun check it out nalang sa: artinsitemagazine.com

sneak peak (pde ba to? baka makasuhan ako)quick story.. i remember when we were seatmates in mechtilde for 2 quarters or 3, i asked her to just simply write "health" on my health notebook... and fifteen minutes later (after our health class, oo di kami nakinig kay dugang nun), what i thought would just say: HEALTH said:

she made this amazing cover (with my name looking like a total trash) oh diba, butterflies na talaga siya.. oh well.... cathe, you make me so proud to at least know yah...

xoxo,

if you aren't a graduate of ust- bs pharmacy, you won't get the first half of this blog..

so 10am-10pm duty.. same same only longer hours. when an OPD patient came, and out of habit i checked out the doctor's signature first. looks familiar... check his name, peter quilala, sounds familiar, looked at his s2 number, i know this number! kidding, hahahahah...it ended with seeing pfq's name and there i thought it would be easy. it's a long story so to make it short keywords nalang

morphine 5mg tab-10mg tab
countersign
angry dr. dizon for my wrong dialing
didn't find pfq
found doc mina to have a signature specimen

i feel so numb na... if you know the manhid me before i'm worse this way. i have lost the will to care--about anything and everything.. in fact i'm bothered that i am not bothered at all. it's just blank..everything's blank and a no brainer for me these days. it's hard to tell what i'm feeling because i don't feel a damn thing.. weird yet familiar. i forgot how it's like to feel excited/nostalgic/nervous/mad/irritated. oh well, probably the reason why you haven't seen much of me lately. or know much of me..huh? nonsense. hahaha...probably not totally true because of composing blogs, but technically i'm talking/writing to myself by making one.. again with the nonsense.. ohwell bye! (bye me? bye who?)

dec 31, 2008- jan1, 2009: GO ON GIRL (the new year blog straight from the pharmacy)

2009-01-04T03:10:00.000+08:00

It’s hard to believe that it has been months ago since I have been listening to Go On Girl (Ne-Yo) with Ken sharing the green earphones of my ipaQ while playing poker (or was it tong-its) with Miguel and Lynyrd. Yeah, it has been that long. Now, they’re on the road to prepping themselves to becoming doctors, while I have just recently chosen a totally different path. Things change, people change, and we just have to grow up and adapt.

It has been the quite eventful year. Graduating-becoming a registered pharmacist (technically not true)- my first minimum paying job. Not to mention having one of the most heart-wrenching holidays in so many years. Watching people die (technically not true too) on my watch, seeing the relatives try to get a grip of their emotions on Christmas day/new year’s eve (literally). But then again how many patients had left the walls of this hospital feeling better? And even if we don’t have direct interaction with them, I’d like to think that I have a part in making them better.

Broken’s now playing, and I’m checking for the pyrotechnique effects in the sky- or at least scanning for stars. Stars we can wish upon for a better us this coming year. Stars that can make us move on with our past lives, leaving them to be the better memories and start making new ones. Stars you can count your blessings as well as your tragedies. Stars you can count your friends and the people who have been not so kind to you too… but the sky is spotless.

Now, I’m stuck in this now familiar place listening to RX’s year-end countdown. I’d like to think that just like how that there will be a totally different countdown next year, we will have a new story to write. And to that- cheers!

Bella owns a Mac?

2008-12-14T12:39:00.000+08:00

i know this entry will cost me. Probably twilight fanatics will hunt me down and eat me alive after reading this:

Oh my God! I couldn’t believe I was watching it… after being a total loser who read the book, I waited for 2weeks after the opening night to go to the movie theater and watch it… alone!

It was like watching a CHEAP indie film…no, wait-- it was worse than watching a cheap indie film… the flashbacks were like watching a documentary of a crime scene… heck, discovery channel’s crime shows were better than this movie..

And what is with the nodding? And their (edward and bella's) jaws.. there was a moment in the film where I want to unhinge bella’s jaw and move it myself… and the batting of the eyes… were her eyes supposed to bat that much? I mean seriously… she didn’t even seem to be flirting with Edward whenever she did that…and what is with the flying? And the chase, that was it? Where was the part where Alice had tons of visions? And the mind reading part, they didn’t give much emphasis on that..

If my eyes could bleed at that moment, they probably had a hemorrhage after the first 30 minutes. Rather, I would have enjoyed poking my eyes out so I could stop watching…

And the tandem, wow, it’s so… arrggg… they gave a new meaning to awkward (thank you pao and van) for the right word.. wait-- Individually, they were ok…

It’s probably just the OC me or my impossibly high standards who wants the movie to have nailed the novel down to the most minute detail, but maaan... Even harry potter (the first movie) pleased me, so why couldn’t this film have the same effect? I’m sorry but the movie didn’t give the novel justice… And spidermonkey? really? did edward really say that in the book? i can't remember.. if he did, it sounded better in my head.. no, wait, the whole novel sounded better in my head..

After an hour, it felt like it was the longest film I’ve watched in a long time…well, it’s probably my newest Norbit.

It’s probably half of meyer’s fault for being new in the business and all that-- selling the novel short for a low-budgeted film. Even Bridge of Terabithia had budget for better effects.

But amidst all my hate for it, there is one part that I enjoyed... the baseball game.. that was impressive.. And Michael Welch captured newton's character perfectly.

i want a remake! (preferably under Bruckheimer productions)

or we can just wait and see what damage control the next director will manage to conjure up.

here's a movie to watch: Bolt!!! complete with effects... love love love mittens!=)

bah humbug!

number lang ang nagregister...

i excused myself then answered the call.

girl: sino ka? paano mo nakuha yung number ko?

me(thinking): huh? what the---- she's the one calling me and yet she's asking who i am?

me (out loud): huh? bakit po? sino ka din?

girl: bakit ka nagtext? ( ang tone)

me: tinext kita? baka wrong send?

girl: oo tnxt mo ako... (she started reading what i texted everyone in my phonebook about my sun number)

me: baka nga wrong send... kasi sino ka ba?

girl: eh bakit ka nga nagtext? san mo nakuha number na to?

me: binaba ko yung phone.

ring ring

cancel

ring ring

cancel

ring ring

cancel

arrrggggg

i turned my phone off because it was too noisy and my phone had already hung.

turn on again..i started texting...

me: anong number po yung tnxt ko ng ganun...baka wrong send lang po ako

girl: (gave me my own number) 0922*******

me: i mean san ko po nasend yung msg ko..anong number niyo na sinendan ko ng msg...because i'm sure i didn't do a texting spree...and i'm sure i didn't text anyone with a smart number (wala nang sense sinasabi ko diba? naiinis ako na natatawa na nagppanic na di maintindihan)

girl: dun ka nagtext sa number ng husband ko..at un po ay hindi smart..un po ay sun network...

me:anong number yun? kasi puro mga sun number ng mga kaklase ko lang yung nakasave dito

girl: but how come? nakapagtxt ka sa husband ko! at bakit ganyan na oras ka nagtext sa kanya? where did you get his number?

me: ano nga pong number yun? para matrace ko kung anong name yung nakasave dito..instant kaaway ba ito? i was just informing the people whose numbers have been saved in my phonebook na may bago akong number...tska sino ba husband mo? di ko naman siya kilala eh...eh there are like 3 guy's numbers saved here in my phone..bawal bang mawrong send? and nagtext ako sa mga tao ng 6am, e sa gising ako nun eh...pero promise, if you feel so insecure- trust me, I DON'T KNOW YOUR HUSBAND.

girl: shit! don't explain your side that way..at first you need to say sorry sa kagagahang gnawa mo...0922*******..jan ka nagtxt ng ganyan ka aga..and dats my husbands number! not mine...dats y i was damn surprised sa msg mo...

(i honestly thought i was being pranked...dahil...wow..hahahahahaaha..nakakatawa lahat ng sinasabi niya at pagkasabi niya.. at first? oh tapos ngayon, ano na?)

me: if it will make you feel better about yourself, then sorry even if i don't think i owe you an apology. pero lahat naman ng tinext ko ok lang naman sa kanila na 6:30ish ako nagtext... ok, ria (college classmate) yung nagregister sa phone ko ng number ng "asawa mo"

girl: ah ok..meaning to say..may number ka talaga sa kanya?

me: oo...pero ria nga yung nakasave dito...classmate ko siya nung college..baka binenta niya yung sim or yung phone niya...

girl: di ah.. ako bumili ng sim card na un eh..to set my minds free...taga san ka cnu nagbigay sayo ng number ng asawa ko sau? kasi name ng husband ko RIAN eh..hindi ria...

(ilan ang minds mo? eh bakit paulit ulit lang pinaguusapan natin?)

me: di ko na maalala eh... honestly ngayon ko lang natext yung number na yan..kasi nagsend all lang ako kanina... ang saktong nakasave sa akin 'ria.sun.ust'..taga-cainta ako at taga-bulacan siya.

**** arrived home..checked my phone..saw one missed call..and 2 msgs..never mind the first msg dahil finorward langniya sinabi ko

2nd msg said:

thanks to monikachelle, i read my blog again..di naman niya dinala sa aking attention ung pagkaBABOY ng blog ko... pero i couldn't remember what i blogged about yesterday...at gusto kong pagtawanan

(BOLD ALL CAPS) is the sign to look for

so i treated myself with another sausage mcmuffin because of the 3-night-shifting-streak i had going on...3 nights down, 1 more to go! yeaahhhh.. i will ask them to spare me from any night duties next week... yehey

so i went down mcdo (WENT DOWN MCDO? WHAT THE HECK WALANG SENSE... went down at mcdo)... and started thinking about the things that were going on. again, you may think i'm a fool but mcdo marcos highway does have that effect...

i missed (MISSED? THE FEELING IS/WAS GONE...miss) having the month-long trips to the south (cebu-surigao) or north (pagudpud-vigan) stopping at every town. taking time breathing in the culture. and then i suddenly wondered why everything (all of a sudden) started being about money,(SUDDENLY-ALL OF A SUDDEN?! MAY SUDDENLY NA NGA MAY ALL OF A SUDDEN PA! HAHAHAHAHA...SARAP..REDUNDANT MUCH!) what the "next step" should be. or how to bring in the big-ger bucks! chaching!

ohwell that's life. we do become superficial at this age. hahahahaha

ayun lang naman...di ko naman masyadong binash ung sarili ko no?hahahahha..lesson learned: wag magbblog pag bangag ka na!

sunday. night shift.

monday 6am. home. 12:30pm. back to the hospital. DOH meeting. 4pm. home. 10pm. night shift.

nice. real nice.

so the DOH representative told me bakit naman ang bata mong nagwwork? ayan di ka tuloy pwedeng magduty magisa.

so feeling frustrated, i said. "i'm as competent and as effective as my co-workers. age should not be a reason to hold me back from what i am capable of doing. so what kung 20 lang ako. the philippine law sucks."

the DOH was shocked. and i was immediately fired for disrespecting a government official.

yeah, i wish.

true naman yung sinasabi niya eh. na dapat i should just stay home for a while. take my time. or at least have a plan.

tama rin ang sinabi niya, in her words "saling pusa" lang naman talaga ako dun. nahihilo ako twing tapos na ang duty ko. at ngayonn ko lang nabasa ung contract ko... oh did i mention, ngayon lang ako pumirma ng contract ko. i think it states that i should stay for a minimum of 2 years before i can resign after my probationary period which will end on february next year.

or at least that's what i think it said. i was so out of my mind, that i just stared and the labels while waiting for my contract.

plan. i need one. someone give me one. because right now my only plans are: have my hair curled permanently, watch twilight, and check if i could sell my ipaq and buy a new phone.

it must be the uniform

2008-10-20T15:20:00.000+08:00

what is it with me and random people who love to spill their deepest darkest secrets (more like problems)?

so after a definitely bangag night with the interns (who mind you are older than me), i decided to treat myself with my favorite breakfast meal in mcdo. so i went down a stop earlier from the hospital and started to walk to mcdo marcos highway. i did have a rough night, with the almost progressing anaphylactic reaction and my sleepless 30 hours was slowly passing by... imagine how much i wanted to wrap myself with my brown blanky and just lay my head on a pillow.

so sausage egg mcmuffin there i went. (crap talk). i sat in one of those comfy nooks with dim lights and started to munch on my crispy hash brown. started toying with my psp then finally got tired. my thoughts strayed to how much i wanted to explain to everyone who would stop and stare and find me companyless that i wasn't the only one sitting alone. then it started to trail to how alone was fine blah blah the whole enchalada.

then all of a sudden an old man came to my sight distracting me. my ears were plugged with usher's what's your name when i realized he was talking to me.

man: iha, uupo akong nakatalikod sa'yo ha..
me: cge po (all smiles and started biting again)

man's phone suddenly rang. and because my sense of hearing was blocked by my earphones, it sounded like kapangpangan. when i later realized he was talking in english. the conversation ended. and the old man turned to me

man: nurse ka iha?
me: ay hindi po. pharma po ako.
man: ahhh.maganda magnurse ngayon, mabilis makapunta sa states
me:haha. oo nga po eh.
man: yun ung tumawag kanina, nurse un! mataas sweldo nila dun. $48 dollars per hour. mga pharmacists maganda din magtrabaho dun, un nga lang mas madali makapunta dun kapag nurse ka.
me: oo nga po, mas madali lang talaga pag nurse
man:2 courses na ung anak ko na un eh. nung una computer, kaso masyadong maraming radiation, kaya pinagnursing ko nalang
me: ahhh

man's daughter came

man: (to daughter) lipat tayo.

they sat on the chairs next to me

daughter: kuha lang ako syrup
man: ung pamangkin ko, pharmacist sa ust naggraduate. kaso nakapagasawa ng koreano
me: (starting to get interested) ahhh talaga
man: oo, ayun nasa korea na siya
me: pharmacist po siya dun
man: oo dun siya nagppractice.
me:ahhh ok
man: yun ung anak ko rin yun. sa ibang nanay nga lang. oo sa ibang nanay
me: (not wanting to probe) ahh nurse din po siya?
man: hindi hrm siya.ayaw niya nurse.. oo iba nanay nun. naloko ako nun (--tells story--)
me: uhhhmm talaga?
man: oo police kasi ako dati.
me: sa marikina?
man: hindi sa krame ako dati (--tells story--)
me: (almost tempted to change the subject by asking whether he knew castillejos) ahh, kaya no pong solusyunan ang problema niyo tay. pde niyo pong (--give advice--)
man: salamat

daughter comes back

man: kain!
me: cge po, tapos na ako eh.
man: anak oh, pharmacist siya

gulp down my juice

me: cge tay, alis na ako
man: oo nga malayo pa ata ibbyahe mo. bye
me: smiles

plug earphones
Now I'm speechless, over the edge I'm just breathless, I never thought That I'd catch this love bug again Hopeless, head over heels in the Moment, I never thought that I'd Get hit by this love bug again

I enjoy listening to people's problems. I do. I really do. not that i love to see them in agony because i don't. i just feel a personal satisfaction whenever someone spills. It makes me think I can help someone in need in such a short time. makes no sense huh

night shiftings

2008-09-08T09:49:00.000+08:00

1 hour of sleep+sunday+ graveyard shift+ charging +INVENTORY + hunger

equals

one of my embarassing moments

or not

=P

either way, terrible idea!

dahil gusto ko magblog?

2008-09-07T15:08:00.000+08:00

does history really have to repeat itself? i guess this time i don't see it that way. either that or i've gotten really really numb

or. wait.

there is a third option.

maybe i've finally learned from my mistakes.

COOL.

or maybe as cathe just put it-- IT was there all along we just didn't see it.

i guess my advice of taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture is the only logical explanation for that.

but then again, just like history, i found another partner in crime.hah. a new one perhaps. at least it isn't a dark alley we're walking in anymore. well, that was for me, not so sure for her yet.

but yeah, we do miss the "its" that seems to have started crumbling into shit. =)

xoxo,

ps: don't worry this isn't another blog about twilight. although i do prefer the feisty jake in eclipse rather than the whiney one in new moon =)

don't judge the book by it's genre

2008-09-04T03:45:00.000+08:00

told you, it just takes a minute dose for me to be addicted to something.

so i finished twilight in 5 days. started new moon last night ended it this morning. 3 and a half hours later, i finished it. wow. beats my harry potter record

it isn't as bad as i thought it would be. i'm starting to like edward. funny thing is i started liking him the moment he let go of bella. talk about sado-masochism. haha. by now you shouldn't be surprised i love being that way.

it's good i gave this "saga", as monik likes to put it, a chance. and this is exactly the reason why i love reading. it's just the flow, rather the gush of words that pours out to your ear just as if someone were reading it to you. every author has their unique style. and my cousin was right- the way meyer described-sets the ambiance by describing the wakening of bella every morning has got to be the best parts of the book.

and so you see the difference between twilight and new moon. the mark of being a describer immediately wore off and trailed into narrating. and that probably made me miss meyer describing edward's expression in new moon. because bluntly, there was no edward to describe.

backtracking to twilight, the description of the somewhat heavenly face of edward turned from intiguing to just plain annoying. until you realize that (in new moon) that was what you were mostly reading and what you suddenly miss.

of course, my mere irritation of mushy, cheesy lines being thrown by the two characters is enough to know that i'm still not into this love story thing.. but all in all, it is quite different from what i would read. after all, we do have to broaden our perspectives. and for that, i'm giving the saga a thumbs up, after all, he IS a "baduy vampire"

being a far-off genre than what i'd usually read didn't stop me from guessing the twists and turns of the book.

hey, if it weren't 3am, i would be shouting "I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! TWILIGHT PALANG, I ALREADY KNEW IT!" hahaha. so much for surprises. i know i know, i'm such a geek.

***
on a lighter note, i did have a good day with my cats. I thought kyo was sick. he looked particularly lethargic yesterday. but then again, he is the descendant of garfield. what with looking exactly like garfield. thing is he never let's us touch him.. he probably felt particularly lazy yesterday to ward us off...

AAAARRGGGG. DAMN IT. a late post

2008-08-31T21:52:00.000+08:00

august 30,2008

i woke up today unaware of where i was. due to habit, i checked my phone lazily.. saw that waiyan texted me, reminding me that i was replacing maam dianne because she begged for a double off. so instead of going to work at 8am, my shift will start at 10am. shit. i checked the clock. it mocked me by saying it was exactly 6am.again. SHIT.

i tried to go back to sleep. unsuccessful, i wandered around our house. growing tired of the view, seeing that everyone even the help was still asleep, i suddenly realized i'm supposed to finish twilight. so i got the copy from my room, brought it to my mom's bed and started reading.

by 8am,i was starting to feel sleepy again.but this time, i had to get ready because before going to work, my mom and i had to pick up my altered scrub suit from the tailor. by 9am, i was following my mom around, asking her to move in a glacial pace because it was almost 9:30 and i still had to leave for work.

again, i miscalculated the time. it took less than 5mins to travel to the tailor, get my scrubs and change into one. but, I HATE BEING LATE. so i decided to be early, since it was a saturday and staying in the pharmacy wouldn't be such a pain because there aren't a lot of patients during the weekends because most of the doctors were going to Subic.

i couldn't be more wrong in my life. i arrived at the pharmacy by quarter to 10. and started moving. akala ko tinamaan lang ako ng ka-oc-han ko. but NO. from the time i set foot on the pharmacy, hindi lang siya "bakit parang di ako nauubusan ng gagawin." more like "bakit parang dumadami ung dapat kong gawin"

for the first 3 hours, i enjoyed the thrill of having to deliver the meds in a continous pace.. by the time my superior left, 2 nalang kami... and i checked the pile of charge slips..grabe!

by 3pm, my back was killing me because kahong kahon at mga bote ng dextrose ang pinagbubuhat ko for almost 5 hours.then we started the unit dose and by 4pm, i literally wanted to give up and cry... throw a tantrum- but i couldn't. i'm not a kid anymore, we have to act maturely..by 5pm kala ko makakapagcharge na ako, pero baba pa din ng baba ng charge slips to dispense. the sir marcial (the hr head) passed by the pharmacy at gusto kong sabihin "i quit" and leave... kung di lang maiiwan si maam aimee magisa dun. pero kasi even if kept on asking, medyo alam ko naman that somehow, i'm helping... by 5:45, i was able to start charging the mountainSSSS of charge slips in front of us. di pa ako nangalahati sa isang floor, it was already 6pm.. so i bade goodbye to maam aimee and wished her luck. staring at those charge slips, i felt sorry for the next few shifts.. mukhang di mauubos sa 3 shifts ang charging ng mga un...

august 31,2008

sabi na, may mali ako kahapon eh =(

shortlived book-re-worming

2008-08-25T15:25:00.000+08:00

i started reading twilight but it's taking me longer than usual because of my allergies and because of eureka...

i'm actually suprised that i'm enjoying a sci-fi series because i usually brand them as unbelievable or it's not going to happen.. but eureka, it's actually fun to probe around what could happen in the future... oh an i love carter's crib..

i'm also actually surprised that i'm enjoying twilight... oh wait, enjoyed twilight...for the first 2 chapters...

big mistake kasi..i thought sean biggerstaff was the one playing edward cullen... un pala it's robert pattinson (played cedric diggory).. to think i was starting to fall in love with edward cullen imagining biggerstaff do the character's actions in the book... oh well, wrong harry potter character... hahaha... love love love sean biggerstaff, sorry

but still, i'll probably finish the book especially since when i arrive home after work, all i ever do is lie down...or maybe that's all i ever want to do..i'm tired.. oo na, for the people who want to say "i told you so, you should have rested for another month" oo na ok...but there's no backing out to this... i'm no quitter

anyhoooo, it's been so long and i'm lost without you so what am i gonna do said i've been needing you and wanting you-- bwahahaha, again with that song!..but i do miss reading..but right now it's taking a whole lot of my time. the last time i read was my birthday last year..the last book of harry potter.. it took me 5 hours (9pm-2am) to finish that book. i remember feeling distinctly depressed on my birthday because the installment was through...oh well.. let's see where this new set goes..to end, i'm posting a sean biggerstaff picture..hehehe
xoxo,
kLmNo

ps: i remember posting this picture on our corkboard after watching chamber of secrets

sloppy blog

2008-08-24T05:19:00.000+08:00

stuff that i forgot to say yesterday, kasi i was so sleepy..

hmmm

it's the 4th day in a row where i find myself waking up in the thoughts of what's the generic name of this, that, which row is this that, which shelf is this and that.. PARANG BOARD EXAM lang eh no...minus the pressure of passing plus the pressure of turning myself from a liabilty to an asset.. hayyy, mentally disturbed lang

yesterday, the radio in the pharmacy was on... i was groggy, sleepy and cranky, then out of nowhere (or out of the run of commercials) the dj said, "paano kung mahuli ka ng boss mo na natutulog sa oras ng trabaho mo?" wahhh..GUILTY.

but for real, it was a saturday morning where i should be flipping through the channels, and end up watching reruns or cartoons... and at that moment, i wanted to lie down sa mga suero...dextrose..mga kahong parang mga trabahador naming binuhat... sakit sa likod..hehehe

and then

ta-daaa...not only did he go down to give me charge slips but he gave me 5 trays of returns..hahaha..tinoxic niya ako...but at least, conversation wise, it was a "different" day... from that time on, pag bumababa siya with his logbook, tawa lang kami ng tawa..ang kulit kasi, mantoxic ba daw...

hmmm...then, someone texted, and i got even more excited...but how does excitement go to just plain "you make me want to barf" in just an hour...kaya talaga, you should keep me in the black...in mystery... ayun lang..that's the explanation of the last paragraph of the previous blog...

ps: the charge slip nurse and the texting guy are different

so much to say...

2008-08-23T13:12:00.000+08:00

i have too many thoughts to know where to start

san nga ba

hmmm..

ok here are three out of this world thoughts

first, is there such thing as "im not in my element"? because if there is, i haven't been in my element lately...draggggg...

second, my 2nd day to go overtime without overtime pay... hay unit dose, ibaba kasi ng mas maaga...=P

third, ayoko na..i'm not talking about work but here's a clue: i have my limits and i'm not appreciating what you're doing anymore... a normal person would probably not only appreciate it but jump right into it...well, i don't need to be taken care of, because i know how to take care of myself...kaya stop na please... i'm totally grossed out with the words already...sorry, ABNORMAL ako eh

charge slip dilemma

2008-08-21T13:08:00.000+08:00

so i didn't go...

i think you think i'm stupid for passing the opportunity of training in st lukes. sabi nga, baka forever ko isipin ang what if di ako pumunta sa interview...but then again, it goes two ways... baka mag-what if i did go for the interview and trained. hahaha...labo

oh well, my parents were the ones who already decided na wag nalang..

but there was a mix-up with the charge slips..hay toxic kami tuloy...TOXIC...literally...

i'm tired!

help! anong gagawin ko?

2008-08-20T15:00:00.000+08:00

waaahhh..

i'm confused..

and in dire need of clarification (?)

hired na ako sa marikina valley medical center... tas i'm working there as a trainee or in other words, nagttrain na ako for 2 weeks..in another 2 weeks, pro-b na ako...

tas kasi naman itong st luke's bonifacio global city, tumawag kanina... 2:30 daw ang interview ko tom...

here's the deal:

Pros	Cons
JCI accredited ang hospital na to…magandang career move (included here is mas magandang hospital)	Lose my job in mvmc
Rest until October 2009	No possible way to commute (but I might get the car by then)
A more intensive and extensive training	Say bye bye to the chance of medicine next school year

ano baaa...

when they called, Anna said "did you receive our text message".. i was like, uhmm no?

sign ba un ni God... pero sabi nga nothing and everything is a sign..pag gusto mo kasing gawing sign ang isang bagay, ganun mo siya iisipin...

what to do
what to do

ideas anyone?

ideas before midnight would be really helpful

prebirthday eat-out/ celebration much?

2008-08-18T09:53:00.004+08:00

so since i have work on the 19th (coming home from work takes about an hour) and by 7pm, i'll be leaving again for the party with the relatives, parang nonsense na maginvite sa 19 ng mga tao kung after an hour and a half kelangan mo na silang paalisin or iwanan.. that's why my mom decided to invite some people for dinner (5pm) at don henrico's brick road

2 realizations: 1. ganun na pala kabusy ang lahat ng tao no? 2. i never knew someone could feel happy and sad at the same time

out of the 15 persons who i texted, half of them replied, and out of the 8 who replied, 2 lang ang pumunta..bummer, way to make myself feel special diba? bakit kasi 14 pa ung tinext ko?haha... can't say i'm actually happy about that..but ayun... short notice much.. hmm, mom ko kasi nung 5am lang niya sinabi sa akin..at least 3 kami diba?

siguro over the years, i've been wishing for a birthday full of RnR and when i finally invited people,that's when God gave me a birthday of RnR...or better yet, my birthday grinch philosophy finally paid off.

ano ba yan nagdrama pa ako, sanay naman ako maging loner..hahaha...at di pala talaga sa akin bagay ang magdrama..anyhoo, that's how i really felt

but then pagdating sa don hen at nakita ko na si kataroo (na galing oang manaoag, pangasinan) at si boyet (na galing sa lessons niya), i felt better.. and it was the tropang lrt all over again.. and that made me real HAPPY (parang grade 1 ang nagsusulat no?)..them coming was more than enough reason to celebrate by pigging out..

pizza, pasta and buffalo wings...di namin nakain ung cake dahil sobrang busog na kami...so to the 2 most wonderful people in the entire universe(2+1 [naintindihan ko namang kelangan pa magbarko ung isa bago makarating sa manila, pero me cake parin siyang dala..hehe]), thankkk youuuuuuu, love you guys mwah

ps: cathe and kim, asan na ang movie date natin?!hahahaha

biglaan

hahaha..

since medyo marami nang nakakaalam na may "work" na ako, i can blog about it na...

so, i'm pretty happy about my work dahil sobrang no sweat ang pagkapasok ko... i passed the resume online, got a call, interview, exam, interview, then interview ulit... one day observe observe, the next day orientation, at ngayon ako nalang magisang training dun... masaya naman siya... for once di ako tingin ng tingin sa orasan kasi time flies sa hospital na un...

pero like i told everyone who found out i have work, temporary lang to, until i'm sure sure sure SURE and very sure about my future with medicine would be... i'm estimating 6 months that'll be around february and around the time that they would lift my probationary status...hahaa..di ko man lang matitikman ang maging regular...

the thing is,i'm enjoying it...but not to the point that i wouldn't wish to continue studying... so un, med or not, i'll leave that hospital on february... look for better fish (if med is not feasible)

hmmm, ano pa ba?

i'm going to be 20 soon, yuck and wow... bakit di na ako teens but i still look like i'm in high school?hahahaha... what happened to my 19th year? bakit ang bilis? anyhoooo, at least this year di ako magssulk at magppuyat kakabasa ng harry potter dahil may work akong iisipin...

so yun, di ko narin alam nangyayari kay christiu...hahaha..kainis naman ohhh..di na ako nakanood ng game..

di ko din pala alam sweldo ko..oh diba...for a learning experience's sake lang ata talaga to..

oh and ohhhhh..hahahaha... there's something that makes me keep on waking up early and commuting to mvmc everyday.. can anyone guess? hayyyy, where's your charge slip?hahaha... well that reason and the part where i can wear a scrub suit all day feeling like i'm wearing my pj's while walking around the hospital..hahaha...

so here's to dispensing!

all Ggggggrown up

2008-08-08T02:22:00.000+08:00

tinatamad ako magpost pero sige na nga...

since medyo may excitement na ang buhay ko eto na

the entry's title has a whole lot of meanings...

lets start with yesterday,

ikai and i were supposed to pass our resume sa heart center and national kidney institute... when i was aboard the train wearing my corporate attire, Grace texted me na di pde magpass ga't walang NBI clearance...

backtracking, the day before yesterday, pinagusapan namin ni caeg ung bday ni kat...the original plan was i would give her flowers...i had no money to buy load so what more can you expect from me buying flowers... so night came up the land of philippines, i decided pupuntahan ko na nga si kat kasi bday naman niya, ang lapit ko lang.. so i scheduled my resume passing sa heart center the next day so i would have a reason to go out and get extra money... mga 10pm, chasty texted me that they were going to visit kat...wow, dami naming nakaisip na puntahan siya.. and my my, talk about good timing..

so yun back to--- i decided not to go home, go straight to ust to just wander around... ended up meeting with the med guys who di naman ako kinausap dahil they had this test sa biochem.. and gracia, who will be having her defense of their first chapter later that day...

an hour later, ikai arrived ust... oo, kahit alam niyang wlaa kaming mapapala, we probably had the same idea na ayaw na muna namin sa bahay... so yun nagwendy's kami... and talked for about 3-4 hours..tagal diba?!hahaha.. then malapit na mag-3, lynyrd followed (cut his biochem lecture) and nakipagdaldalan ng unti... then it was time to go to the dela cruz's residence...

oh but i had extra money to buy a PETITE cake...sorry kat, yan ang tawag sa poor..hahahaha

lrt ride-anonas- p tuazon

p tuazon-- andun na sila gladys, jessa, triccia, chasty and celso.. turns out lahat din kami bum with a capital BBBBBB...hahaha... maaannn, and may i just be brave enough to mention, it's been awhile since i've been with their company and honestly i was fidgeting while i was still aboard the lrt...but as soon as i entered kat's house, the fidgeting stopped because i guess there was still a LOOOOT of catching up to do... and heck everything was normal and FUN just like it was 2007 again and that is probably a good thing...

by 5pm, i was declaring to leave...but as usual, kahit ako unang nagssabing uuwi, i was the last to leave... because i had to wait for boyet who was soooo late..kasi me SWELDO na siya..hahaha... oh and oh, nilibre niya ako ng taxi ride pauwi... ohhh sarap ng libre..hahaha... too bad he has to leave soon for mindanao...he won't probably even be here on my birthday... which is all good, kasi WALANG HANDA...ayan haaa...we have balikbayans so, the feasting will either be done in the province or with relatives..

oh and as usual, masarap na naman ang food kela kat... hahaha.... never changed..nung nagiintern palang kami sa qmmc, they always cooked us scrumptous meals..too bad i was still full with wendy's

so anyway, baeba was constantly texting me while i was at kat's house and we agreed that we would meet today sa quiapo church...first time ko pa naman magcommute all by myself sa quiapo..hahaha...so we filed our NBI clearance, and it was not at all disappointing...because unlike PRC, it was systematic... and in less than an hour, me certificate na ako..yey!!!

i just learned that PRC was supposed to move to a new building but they refused to because "masisira ung system nila"... baeba and i were like, what system?!

anyhooo...this day was really productive because besides filing for an nbi clearance, i got my barangay clearance and another cedula. to add more to the already productive day, i finally enrolled for driving lessons..yes, i'm 19 and still don't know how to drive..i'm not completely knowledge-less, but still need expert coaching to get a license..hehe

so that's 2 g-turned-c girls i've been with in this week... and still looking forward to seeing lea soon but God knows where she is..hahaha...because i certainly don't... pero buti pa si lea, she remembered my birthday, and what's cooler is she even reminded me!hahaha... but yeah, boyet totally forget thattt..hahaha..kaya kami tawa ng tawa kahapon

ayunnn...tomorrow, Gracia's going to accompany me to kidney institute after i have my diploma photocopied...

i have this goal na dapat before aug 15, i already have a job... then toni Grande texted me if i was interested in tutoring her students.. and I AM...really, my dad just thinks its a bad idea kasi it's not pharma related..devil's advocate talaga parents ko no?Hahaha.. howellll... still priority ko pa din ang pharmacist..i think..hahhaha

so to end this entry, i got pictures from kat's multiply...
katrina ruth bernas dela cruz,
happy birthday kataroo...loveyahhh

wrong move

2008-07-17T03:46:00.000+08:00

wrong move talaga!

maling maling maliiiiiii

wrong move talaga na di ako nagjob fair last time, e di sana may napasa na akong mga resume...arrgggg

mali talaga... i was asking for a divine intervention in terms of helping me figure out what to do with my life when i didn't even make a move to help..

but oh well, now i'm open to all my options

cinontact ko ung mga taong alam kong may knowledge about this... so sa mga tinanongan ko, thank you

after a whole lot of thinking, i narrowed my options to these:

heart center (my opening daw dito)
try medical city (since si ate mukhang dun na din, we can bring the car pag pasok)
try ust (jenaaaaa, help!)
try med express (bernice ang nagintroduce sa akin sa idea, at mukha naman siyang maganda..it'll also be a nice trying for the us setup
masters (pde to gawin kahit nagttrabaho, of course most probably sa ust, but next sem pa to pdeng simulan..but as they said, mas magandang magmasters after a couple of years of experience)
ust med- syempre aapply pa din ako, i think
asmph med (how redundant.. kaya ateneo school of medicine and public health.. kung iisipin, even if the tuition fee's higher, it'll cost me a lil less because it's just around the corner..ok maybe it isn't but since si ate medical city, pde kaming sabay ulit)
abroad- although this may take years of preparation, i also narrowed it down to: canada, UK and malaysia..

i already eliminated states because, di naman talga nila cinecredit ang 4 year curriculum namin and it'll be way harder than canada.australia naman, it has 5 stages + oral + practical which will amount to about P500k minimum excluding travel fee and accomodations

Canada- priority ko siguro itong country na to.. because besides the fact that it accredits our 4 year curriculum, may way talaga makapunta dito ng wala masyadong hirap, it'll take years but it will take years in any other country to establish yourself in (walang sense).

UK- The Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain.. wow that sounds so... grand..haha... i've lived in a british colony for more than 8 years, and i loved it... so more or less, acclimatized na ako sa culture nila.besides that, easier makapasok dito compared to the states, kung bakit naman kasi napakahigpit sa states... oh and i'll earn in pounds.. big wow.. 1 quid= P90.16 as of july 16, 2008

Malaysia- the ever eternal malaysia... even before i took the board exams, i already looked on the jobs they can actually offer to my profession (again no sense).. i still love this place, but it requires at least a year experience..madali lang yun gawin dito

Med- syempre di ko parin tinaggal ito sa mga options ko.. there's stil this 1/1000000 chance na pumayag sila... but di ko na din dapat to gawing priority... because, someday i'll learn how to deal with it maturely..but as for this issue:
ASMPH- i'm leaning towards this because new environment, lower student: teacher ratio and cheaper for me. i figured even if it were a new school, i don't think ateneo would dare venture their reputable name if they would put incompetent professors, right? and i think if i were in their administration, for me to be a competent school, i would definitely invest on good teachers/doctors... and what's good with this school (i think/ observed) they don't leave their students hanging without a job.
UST- no need for acclimitization again, my friends who i think can help me are there and the old dorm can again help me, maraming med students dun eh, so I can ask for their advice, borrow stuff, blah blah.. what else? tried and tested? although medyo malaki ang student:teacher ratio

still want want want want med.. oh and this time, mom ko ang nagsuggest to think about ASMPH

Medexpress- sounds like they have a good offer according to how bernice briefed me the other day. as i said, american set-up so i can practice myself to that...downside is, di pa sanay ang mga pinoy sa ganun, so i guess less costumerS?

UST Hospital-although feeling ko walang opening, i'd like to put this in my choices, kasi i had my major internship there, medyo memorize ko pa ung space and again, just a train away. pinapatanong ko lang kay jena sa mom niya kung me opening, she'll give the go signal

Medical City- sana pwede pa, kung hindi:

Heart Center- yeahhhh, i'm pretty sure dito meron! oh and what's good with this hospital is specialized government siya...good for my resume

Masters- sabi nga ni ching, it'll cost less, and advantage for the canadian visa.. what's wrong with this is it'll take me more or less 2 years before i'll be confident to enroll in a class.

so there, choices. i've decided to not be selfish and share the pros and cons i came up with so i could help those who are also as confused on the future as i am..

i came from a family of planners, and my grandfather would seriously scold me if i'd come to him:

without foresight- this includes thinking about not only next month, but for the next 5-10 years.. di ka nga naman mabubuhay kung ang iisipin mo lang ay next month diba? well, i won't. i just want to be secure that by the time i'm 25 (without med) or 28 (with med), i'll be earning, self-sufficient, self-supporting and out of this house. AND
i'm still this thin..maaannnnnn, what do i have to do to have a little fat in me??? kain tulog na nga lang ginagwa ko eh... i eat 5 times a day, kanin un haaa

see, who said i was slugging around like a little leach... probably one of the reasons why i don't go online anymore, i want to think on my own for a while, catch news from those who've already joined the workforce. so there.. draw lots nalang siguro..or toss coin..hahahaha

now i just have to decide kung draw lots or toss coin =P

ngayon. Siguro marami pa kayong
naiisip na iba. Lahat tayo ang may
iba’t ibang karanasan sa Santa
Eskolastika, may iba’t ibang
tinambayan, may kanya-kanyang
pamamaraan ng pagkopya sa exam, mga
kaibigan na akala mo hindi mo
makakasundo pero kayo rin pala ang
magiging matalik na kaibigan, ang mga
barkada mong lagi mong kasama, mga
pagkain na kihahiligan tuwing lunch at
mga teacher na napagtripan. Kung
iisipin halos 10 taon tayong nag-aaral
para lang may matutunan. 10 taon
tayong pinagpapakahirapan ng ating mga
magulang para makatapos. 10 taon na
ang naging pangalawang tahanan natin
ay ang Santa Eskolastika.
Sana wag tayong makalimot sa mga gawi
na itinuro ng institusyon.

Ito HALOS lahat ang mga pinagdaanan ng
batch naming mula Prep hanggang HS.
Kami nga pala ang PINAKAHULING batch
ng nakaranas ng TRADISYONAL na Gawain
sa SSAM. After ng graduation namin iba
na ang namuno kaya nag-iba narin ang
pamamalakad. Kami ang huling batch na
may pinakamahigpit na namumuno at kami
naman ang pinakadisiplinado at
mapagkumbabang estudyante. Pero lahat
naman ng pagbabago ay may magandang
naidudulot. Mas naging kilala ang
SSAM. Mas naging mapaglikha o creative
ang mga estudyante ng SSAM. At gumanda
rin ang kapaligiran ng institusyon.
At sana ay maging active din tayong
lahat na SCHOLASTICANS sa pagiging
ALUMNI ng St. Scholastica’s Academy of
Marikina.

5) chocolate mousse, chocolate beehive - may isang concessionaire na ito ang binebenta; napakahaba ng pila dito noon nung una silang nagbukas

scratch

2008-07-09T13:31:00.000+08:00

ok scratch that

di pala ako masaya...

hahahahaha

hay

want to cry all day...

waahhhh

cry baby =(

lethally lethargic

2008-07-09T09:30:00.000+08:00

yeah yeah...that title doesn't make any sense

but i'm boring not only my eyes but my brains out

once again (everybody, say it with me) SCATTERED BRAIN

scattered brain, booyah!

i talked to my high school friend na akala ko bum siya..turns out, may trabaho na siya 3 weeks ago... i miss pao..and the rest of st scho people...gaahhh, pag kami naguusap, naku walang tigil at walang kwenta, but all the same, nakakamiss siya sobra... so pao, since your birthday's coming soon, LIBRE...all together-- LIBRE!!hahaha

i'm ok na, thanks for not asking, bwahahaha...but i just needed an explosion to occur to you know let go of the ugly ugly feeling

when i was in grade 3, when a full tank of an Accord only cost P450, when we had money and gas to burn, my sister and i stayed at my gramps place... for the whole summer, then my parents would just visit us every week... to-- come to think of it, the didn't have an actual purpose of visiting us... i'm thinking of having that kind of haitus again, after i've finished with my oath taking and PPhA lakads. well here are a couple reasons why:

i can't really think here. well not with my mom constantly asking me what do i want to do. sabi ko nga kay pao, the more you think about it, the less thinking you get done, we were talking about her designs then, but same principle applies here
i don't really like going online anymore, or at least, i'm trying not to because of --- b,c,d help me out with a reason?--- let's just put it in "unexplainable reasons"..but come to think baka magpakabit si lolo ng net just because i'm going to stay there.. nooooo, exactly the reason why i'm leaving. but my gramps has this thing of providing everything you WANT... not necessarily need. and how do you say no to your adorable lolo diba?
hermit hermit hermit... i've always said na magpapakahermit ako after ng boards... something about being a hermit makes me find peace within myself... cheesy yet satisfyingly true
see, right now, the "gag order" my mom's violating it..arrggg... i hate it. i hate it.

bye

turns out

2008-07-07T14:37:00.000+08:00

turns out

i won't be a registered pharmacist just yet.. turns out i have to be 21 to register... but still my mom wants me to work right away... well, magpamigay na raw ako ng resume ko, doesn't matter daw na di pa ako registered, i'll just have to show the newspaper with my name on it

but i don't want to work... yet...

i'm still hoping for a miracle.. a divine intervention.. just yet... i don't think they think i want med as much as my sister does.

my tita from the states told my mom that we have to be practical, don't study here, study there nalang... paano naman kasi ang idea ng mom ko is to do my residency there... if ever... a big fat IF EVER...

hay, yeah yeah be practical...their idea of being practical is take nursing...naman ahhh... hay, another attempt to make me sniff for the states... another attempt failed. the idea of studying nursing isn't exactly enticing. if the idea didn't attract me 4 years ago, it won't now.

what to do.. of course in the end it's not my say.

we had this deal of not talking about the future for one month... we actually called it "gag order"... OPERATION GAG ORDER... but they can't stop thinking about it...

next stop: mail order bride

2008-07-06T13:01:00.000+08:00

so what's next now that we've passed the boards....

basta ako, mail order bride...hahaha... the only way to go to the states is to become a mail order bride! yey

hahaha..kidding... of course i'm not going to sign myself up in some bogus deal...or maybe i am

wahahahaha

i'm so bored... and bangag, and have this problem that trumps anything... nakakainis, ang SLOW ng progress ng problem na to... it trumped finishing third year, it trumped finishing our thesis, it trumped graduation, it also trumped finding out i'm a registered pharmacist...yes, un na nga siguro ung nangyari nung gabing yun... and it's been so long...arrrggghhh... i tried to fix it and then it became more complicated than i thought it was originally..making any sense? well it wont make much sense unless your first name starts with either a b,c or d. hehehe...

it started with the thrill i felt with it, stopped when the thrill was gone, but that didn't last that long, because the thrill returned, and i started taking long shots again... tanga lang.

oh well, now i'm trying to pull myself out but it's just sucking me right back in...

hahaha... di halata or at least di bagay, kaya tama na nga...

i'm just so bored

bet the newly registered pharmacists are as bored as me...hehehe

so next stop, mail order bride, yey!

me: hello goodmorning who is on the line please?
caller: who's this? sherihan?
me: nope, kL, RPh

kathryn: hello?
me: hoy kathryn!
kathryn: sino to?
me: kL,RPh
kathryn: andaya mo!
me: antagal kasi ng results niyo eh
kathryn: oo na! yabang!

i'm not exactly jumping up and down... di din ako naiyak...hay, di rin ako masyadong masaya...

i just probably didn't want to fail...

why? what's preventing me from being happy about these results?

gaaahhhh

bakit?!?

i just want to shake this feeling off..

gusto ko lang maramdaman ang naramdaman ng iba, na, masaya...na maiyak

sadyang emotionless lang ba ako?

room 509 seat no. 9

2008-07-02T09:21:00.000+08:00

waaahhhh.. i thought after the exam, i could finally sleep... but no!!!!! gaaaahhhhhh, i tried to put myself to sleep at about 9pm... but it was already one and my eyes were still wide open... the tv probably got tired of me turning it on, turning it off then turning it on again then turning it off again... waahhhhh... i feel more restless than ever... i feel scared, nervous, relaxed and nauseous at the same time...

so here's what happened,

1st day, early, saw ken and miguel when i went in...then went to my room... room509 seat no. 9... buti nalang roomie ko si grace... someone's waiting for someone after every test... basta ang naging cycle ay exam, get out wait for monik, take very long breaks then exam then blah blah then lunch, go home...

2nd day, practically the same thing happened except for the part wherein we go to the mall after we when to san sebastian for the last act of total kindness... gateway, food court, a lot of WHO YOU's and laughter, but we took turns in having our moments of weaknesses..miguel kasi! siya ang nagsimula ng pagmumunimuni namin! tsk tsk... again---- told you it was contagious... the thinking thing?

i want to pass
i need to pass
i think i'll pass
and hopefully i will

i mean who doesn't right?

bottomline is, i kinda of answered the test smoothly...but then andami kong katangahan... as in... so fingers crossed still... ung mga basics pa ung katangahan ko...arrgggg... i can't do this anymore.. i can't think about it anymore... but then i can't stop my brain from choosing to think about it...

anyway, probably by tomorrow we'll know the results...

till then,

last entry: freak out!

2008-06-29T08:25:00.000+08:00

this morning, di pa ako nagffreak out...because i was still studying... but now, all i can feel is flip flop-ing on my gut... and all i can think about is that flip flop- when the drugs absorption is slower than the elimination... nung una akala ko dose dumping un...but no! and now, grabe...mass pa lang ng 7:30 am, my hands are freakishly cold...wrong...freezing... my hands are freezingi can't comprehend anything anymore... i can't even talk in straight sentences. arrrgggg.... this entry is already taking me almost half an hour to complete.. my heart is racing (racing ba? or raising? siguro heart rate is raising but heart is racing. ewan...) gaaaaaaaahhhhhhh.... nervous wreck... bye.

wish me luck

entry 18: stakes are high

2008-06-28T03:34:00.000+08:00

sweepstakes? steaks... t-bone? baby back ribs... yummmm...hahahahaha...

i'm loaded...

with a lot of anxiety and a whole lot of uncomforting thoughts... you think by now i'd be relaxed... well yeah, i stopped studying or at least be used to be thinking about the nerve-wracking moment to be, but.... awful awful... i'll start studying again later to displace the thoughts of what are supposed not to be my thoughts right now

confusing?

talk about confused

and now, i'm confused with my blog too...

"nakkahiya pag bumagsak ako kasi nagaral ako" words of "wise" (notice wala nang the, kasi same person din naman yun, inverbatim nga lang yan ngayon) again... and again and again... arrgggggg... that's what i get from loving to screw with his mind when he has his moments...karma ko to... and what's worse is, when i screw with his, it's deliberate, intentional and so takes a lot of time and effort... and him, without even trying, can turn an absolutely quiet evening to a stomach churning sleepless night. and that made comforting other friends who are in doubt of passing real hard. hahahaha

and i totally realized that this morning when the priest made me an example in his homily... na pumasa bumagsak, dapat strong ang faith ko... and then the pray-over... was totally enlightening, then he said something like "sana di itanong ang mga di niya inaral, dahil Lord, kapag tinanong ang mga iyon, alam namin na babagsak siya"... i wanted to squeal and squirm in the silence, but opted not to...hahaha...

because what he said was true, so now, i just hope i studied enough to make the cut.

so, 1 whole day and a couple of hours to go.... 1 whole freaking day to think about it... then SHOOT.

entry 17: holy holy (di ba ako nagsulat kahapon?)

2008-06-27T21:47:00.000+08:00

di ba ako nagsulat kahapon? or kahapon ko sinulat ung frustrated na yan?

can't remember...

but oh well, a while ago, bumalik kaming ust...for the blessing of the board examinees... first i saw ken, inantay niya ako sa lrt legarda... nakauniform siya ng med. respetado. then i saw lynyrd and miguel... nakauniform din ng med. mga mukhang respetado din. un lang.

so anyway, the priest said na kapag boards, maraming nagagawang kabanalan... which i just proved true a while ago. may napa-misa ng 3 beses (ust 6am, ust 8am, quiapo 11am), may napa-communion ng wala sa oras, may napaconfess ng wala din sa oras...sabi ko kasi magcconfess ako, to be in the state of grace before answering the test. he probably thought it was a good idea for him to confess too. nagiging banal ang mga hindi nagsisimba dati, and that according to father, is the real reward... pero syempre, passing the boards will be so cool because, again, di ko na kayang gawin to ulit.

quiapo. so after almost 10 years, bumalik ako sa quiapo... dun mo makikita ang mga tunay at dakilang devotees... i mean, in the middle of the church sumisigaw ng intentions, nakaluhod buong misa, nakaluhod na nag"lalakad" habang nagrrosary... iba... IBA... trust me iba talaga. dun, matyaga makinig ng confessions ang mga pari, ang mga tambay ay kumakanta ng kantang banal at ang mga pulubi ay nagigisingan kapag malapit na ang katapusan ng previous mass para sa next mass, makaabot sila at makakuha ng mgandang pwesto.. dun kahit maubos na ang dugo mo sa hypoventilation or anoxic ka na, di mo paring magawang maisip ang masama... dahil nakikita mo ang mga taong tulad mo anoxic na din, pero go, kanta pa din, go pabless pa din, go nakapila parin papunta sa relics or kung ano man. iba talaga. dun mo mapapatunayan na banal nga ang mga pinoy.

after quiapo, i went to the mall. (pag quiapo ang pinaguusapan, kelangan tagalog..hahahaha... kahit di ko naiintindihan or wrong grammar ang tagalog ko) i was just supposed to be the refill for my ballpen... but i ended up treating myself with a big mac.. passed or failed, at least nakapagbig mac ako...hahahaha... i missed doing that... staying somewhere, alone, doing nothing, thinking about nothing... dun ko namimiss ang ust, kasi when i was still staying in my dorm, maraming alone time, to reflect, gather yourself, then plunging into the stressful life again. that's the luxury i can't afford here... every corner in my house, has either my reviewers, books... everything is scattered...just like my brain, scattered. i'll fix it after the exam, but arrgggg, the OC me wants to do it right now..itching to get everything organized. but, i don't have the time. when i was still studying pharma, home ang iniisip kong place na no studying allowed. but right now, i just miss the fields and stream of trees of ust. miss the benches. and the people. anyway back to being alone, there, there are 3 rooms in our house and 5 people in it. so really no alone time. and now, i'm tired. so i'm going to rest so i can study after an hour again. in short, i miss functioning normally.

2008-06-26T03:25:00.000+08:00

ilang days nalang ba? tinatamad na ako tignan kung ilang days nalang... but naffrustrate na ako...FRUSTRATED. for real... i was supposed to finish modules 3 and 4 yesterday... but as it turned out, wala ako natapos kahit isa... my brain is lagging (for the lack of a better word)...

i said that i would start i 9...i started at ten fell asleep at 12...and the funny thing is, nakaharap naman ako sa mga reviewers... NAGMAMADALING MATAPOS...and still, di ko sila natapos... understatement pala un... di ko natapos ung module 3 at di ko nasimulan ang 4...

saan napunta ung oras? precious precious time i need to pass the board exams. di ko naman sinasayang?

and i ended up being really grouchy with everyone here and just plain frustrated.

cue creepy music... or lets eat banana cue..hahaha... talk about being so bangag! i finished real late last night... due to unnecessary thinking yesterday morning... and today will probably be the most gruelling day of my entire review... because i'm doing module 3 and 4 today... and that comprises almost half of the pacop...

homestretch na to... and just like any other day, when i say i'll start at 8 i start at around 9...hahaha... talk about slacking.

what is there to tell? ubos na ata ung mga words na pwedeng magimply kung gaano na ako kaexcited at kabado at the same time. and nothing real is happening right now... hahaha... hmmm... except na mag sst.clare kami tomorrow. friday, sa ust naman. then sa saturday quiapo. sunday pabless ako kay father dito, and monday DUMDUMDUMDUM... talk about divine intervention... because everything has been done, wala na sa mga kamay namin kung papasa kami...

so till tomorrow

entry 13: running out of titles

2008-06-24T16:44:00.000+08:00

"it's just a piece of paper with a score in it"... words of the uhhmmm sige na nga, "wise"... actually those words aren't in verbatim... nakalimutan ko lang sinabi niya...

i dwelt on those words, at nagsayang ng oras... past lunchtime, i realized even though its just a piece of paper with a score in it, it'll mean so much to me if the the scores passed the standard.

and even though it's not life or death...wala, e di it's not life or death nga..hahaha.. i just don't want to go through the agony of having to study all of these all over again... [sacrificing time that should have been allotted for the essentials of living... like sleeping at least 8 hours a day, eating at least 5 times a day, watching tv, praying and playing (hahahaha... mga essential sa buhay ko)... or just the mere idea of eating without vomiting or feeling nauseous...] and i will not. we will not...swear... papasa tayo, i can already feel it.

i usually do good with stress and pressure... in fact those are the factors that bring out the best in me... but damn, di lang ako pagod, burnt out na ako...

and so, 5 days 11 hours 10 mins and 15 secs left! and we're free! yey

there is literally one week more to endure before... before death strikes me... na-bradycardia ako kanina... meaning it is not because of me being nervous again...

natapos ko na new pacop... at gaaahhhh, i realized my weakness na.. it's the color reactions... what color is the precipitate of what when you add what to what... grabe, i can't remember anything about those...ultimong alkaloidal rgts, kahit may pananda na ako, wala pa din...sablay pa din...hahahaha... so now i'm praying na sana, SANA sana walang itanong about that...

so what else can i say but, i'm so tired, sleepy and confused na... i want to get this over with...

haaayyyy, boyet came here this morning unannounced... and saw me at literally my worst... just woke up, bleeding highlighters, hair a mess, unbrushed teeth, dark circles around my eyes... pero ok lang, kasi mukha din siyang bagong gising...hahaha... no offense, pero pareparehas na ata kami ng mga itsura... itsura ng pagod! haggard... like we just finished not only a marathon but a triathlon...

pero malapit na... last lap na, crunch time, inches away the finish line...

entry no. 8: dinosaur friends

2008-06-18T04:53:00.000+08:00

11 days 27 hours 7 mins and 59 seconds to go! hahaha...just like christmas...only equipped with the wrong feeling

i'll make this quick... unfortunately for you,reader, quick for me is making a novel...

remember when you were a kid when you had this hard bound book of dinosaurs with 3D glasses... well, i remember my first book of dinosaurs...

it had a fun feeling to it and you just turned 3 and started with Rex... then T-rex... then Tyran-ousous rex... Then finally Tyrannosaurus rex... then you would boast it to all your friends in kindergarten, and try to inject the word to your every sentence...

lunchtime: hey, that dinosaur in your lunchbox is called a TYRANNOSAURUS REX. were you able to watch Jurassic Park and see the TYRANNOSAURUS REX?

playtime: run and hide or i'll eat you! I'm a TYRANNOSAURUS REX. (bully!)

music: (old mcdonald song) i don't want to be a chicken, i want to be a TYRANNOSAURUS REX! (tantrums)

math: the number 7 looks like a TYRANNOSAURUS REX!

sewing: my bear looks like a TYRANNOSAURUS REX.

new word eh.

now, i just gloat at the tons of genus and species you have to memorize. Erysipelothrix *panic attack. Wurcheria bancrofti *vomit. DIphyllobothrium latum*tv. Francisella tularensis *ipaq

lesson: in the future, do not teach your kid how to say stuff like TYRANNOSAURUS REX. or else

----

or else the will end up being a bully who has to memorize a hundred species of not only microorganisms but also plants as their karma

karma's a bitch.

entry no. 7: st therese edition

2008-06-17T07:17:00.000+08:00

12 days 20 hours 38 mins 56secs nalang sabi ng clock...

we went to st therese chapel this morning for the mass and the novena. And i got freaked out a bit...

before the story, i would just like to say na cool ung novena ng st. therese... in the middle of the 9 days, you will know if your intentions will come true or not... by a sign that comes from magical and unexpected places: A WHITE ROSE...

my tita said the novena, i can't remember when but a kid from the market came up to her and gave her a white rose saying extra nalang daw ung rose na yun. my mom said the same novena for our US visa years ago, in the middle of nowhere an old vendor gave her a rose while she was still in our village's church.

kaso medyo dinaya ko yung akin, because after the novena, theygive away roses, red, white, yellow, pink... so parang sign pa din na dapat white. well, sa row namin 2 lang ung white rose, and i grabbed the white one immediately.

so anyway un, amidst that, kabado pa din ako...because...I DIDN'T FINISH MY PHARMACOLOGY... or i finished it but when i reread it, i couldn't remember a thing... talk about giving up on pcol.... oh well, try ko ulit next week...

oh then baeba txted me na ang lapit lapit na, marami pa siyang di alam..ako din! gaaahhhhhhhh ... talk about freaking out...

so sa iba, sana di kayo kasing freaked out ko...

entry no. 6: chocolate soup for the chicken soul

2008-06-16T09:35:00.000+08:00

i'm guessing it's 13 days left before the exams... i'm on the pc so no laptop countdown picture today... boo

what they say about doing pretty stupid stuff when the exam gets nearer is definitely true... but, something rather someone odd did something freaky...

it was about 10am and my stock of kisses were depleted already... i started craving for chocolate scones and chocolate muffins from french baker... knowing my mom would be going to the mall, i asked her to buy me a week's supply of chocolate scones and muffins...

finding it hard for me to describe what they looked like, she just asked me to accompany her. So off we went to french baker, which was also waiting for their stock to arrive... at 11:30... of course me and PACOP just waited for the chocolate muffins and scones to arrive.. but my mom got bored...

so we went chocolate muffin hunting... first stop was crouer... confectionery sprinkled sugar choco muffins were available but limited... so we bought 2, proceeded to our next stop... red ribbon.. no muffins. dulcinea. no muffins. goldilocks. no muffins. dunkin donuts. no muffins-at that branch (we had to go upstairs to buy muffins at the other branch).

the donut stall was near the grocery. so my mom decided that while waiting for 11:30, we would go chocolate shopping. if you haven't shopped at sta lucia's grocery yet, there's a whole island of chocolates... after getting a few pieces, which i thought was enough, my mom wouldn't stop...cadbury, hersheys, kitkat, curly tops, almonets, goya, hersheys again, choco mucho, snickers, van fruit. cadbury again, choco mucho again.then again. hello dino candy chocolate eggs, goya again, goya again, choco mucho again, van hazel nut, van roast almond, m&m's crispy, kitkat bites, toblerone, hersheys, mary queen. again and again and again...i was the one begging her to stop. our bill ended up being more expensive than our father's day dinner yesterday.

i'm going to develop diabetes after this exam. but my mom still not satisfied, bought chocolate pancake mix, nesquick chocolate with marshmallows and swiss miss..

thats not over... we went back to french baker, where the choco muffins were already displayed.. embarrassed, i asked for 3... when we arrived home, i realized she bought all of the displayed muffins...

i just wanted choco muffins and scones. but there were no scones.

haha.

countdown says: 14 days 14 hours 51 mins and 40 secs

still studying pharmacology... but there was a brief interruption... because my mom just arrived from thailand! yey! pasalubongs...

according to her: she didn't enjoy bangkok that much... more on saraburi (where my dad's company is at)... so she brought stuff for us..mga tshirts lang and pants, then scarves... and of course sampaloc...

of course, matagal ang kwentuhan... i told her about my classmates' stay here at our house... then she told me that everyone who reviews here passed the board exam... that makes our house either lucky or more pressure for us...

i'm lagging at my pharmacology.. i stopped reading my notes, and started answering the questions... i think i learn faster when something is being asked to me...

of course there were talks about medicine... blah blah... i kind of dodged the topic because the last thing i want to think about is medicine..because it's just depressing...

but here's a quote for all the reviewees like me:
"work without prayer is slavery. prayer without work is begging."

and now, i have to go, because we're going to eat in causeway AGAIN...hahaha... because of father's day... so happy father's day to all the popsicle sticks out there

Desktop countdown says: 16 days 1 hour 12 mins and 24 secs

Rise and shine! It's a saturday morning... an unusual saturday morning... it is way too early to get out of bed, look for something to eat and start studying for pharmacology...

But i had to because finishing at least 3/4 of the notes yesterday was pretty unsuccessful... It is taking longer than i estimated.

I'm not even halfway through... So today I have to make up for the times i literally slacked yesterday.

funny thing happened, the moment i woke up, i thought--- what was the Tx for excessive hyperthermia--- dantrolene... what was the drug that caused hyperthermia--- stared at the ceiling

after a few minutes, i gave up, looked at my notes and deduced that i my study yesterday was not enough.... so today, i'll probably isolate myself from the temptations and stay in another room...

arrrgggg... its just so hard to concentrate when your mind isn't taking in the information anymore...i just end up getting frustrated.

yes, but tomorrow will be the real test...the post it on our pc says: arrival 5:45 am... my mom basically bought scarves and jackets when it is so freaking hot here in the philippines... hahahaha.... she's way too excited for my sister's work...

that's all for now...btw, it's succinylcholine

entry no.3: bad dreams

2008-06-13T08:02:00.000+08:00

my desktop countdown says: 16 days, 19 hours 59 mins and 43 seconds till the pharmacy board exam

so bad dreams... i don't know why i'm having bad dreams lately...

since i started reviewing seriously (which was like 3 days ago) i had this rule that i have to sleep on or before 10pm... but that didn't work too well, so i just made this deadline that by 10 pm, i have to stop working and start putting myself to sleep, so i would get at least 8 hours of rest.

that isn't working too well either... i slept at about 10pm last night, finishing of real early... but then around 2am i had this bad dream, i can't really remember what it was, but when i woke up it was as if it still happening...

i fell asleep again and around 4am, i had this bad dream again. I was on an island with my family and friends. we settled in the hotel, then I decided to stroll around.. I saw this huge lake with a hanging bridge on it. I crossed the bridge saw mountain and decided to climb it... Then i saw my friend (i can't remember who he was) who was sitting on the ground looking at a huge house that popped out out of nowhere. I sat beside him, and was pretty sure the words he said were "it was hard, but i came through, and now i'm enjoying it.." and i can remember asking him what was it he enjoyed... And then he started telling a story about the house... it was a creepy story that even though i was asleep, i could feel my alpha-2 receptors activating (layman's terms: goosebumps)... i walked some more until it was really dark.. then someone called my name..but i realized i was lost in the woods... and the mountain started to crack, and the tip of a volcano was showing up...

i ran until i saw the hanging bridge which was now over a very very large pool... i could feel the earth moving... there was an earthquake! and the chances of the bridge falling apart were really high... so crossing the bridge, i dashed to safe ground. when i arrived a jacuzzi popped out. but i ran straight to the hotel. and the people who welcomed me back were smiling...actually they were smirking... and started chanting "you survived... you survived"

i barely caught my breath when someone asked me, "where's your mom and sister?" puzzled, i looked back at the pool and saw them crossing the bridge which is about to collapse... and, it did collapse...while they were in it... but the pool was cracking into half... and the bridge WAS in the middle...do the math, they were heading straight to the big gap...

shocked, i went near the pool...when my sister and mom emerged and said, "why's your face like that? you like tired, where have you been?"

arrrrgggghhhh....

hate hate hate bad dreams... i ended up having less sleep than i originally planned...

well, that's all for now

my desktop countdown says: 17 days 20 hours 6 mins and 44 secs....

and i'm itching to watch another episode of criminal minds... but no... i can't...

i already overslept this morning, i can't afford to waste another hour on watching....haha

i think i already figured out when i get these anxiety attacks... it's when i'm not holding either my notes or my pacop... i can feel that i'm wasting my time, but sometimes my brain reaches saturation point and starts rejecting information... and that's when i result to singing cheesy songs like: a whole new world or picture of you by boyzone (mr bean's movie's theme song)

gaaahhhhh

today biochem... tomorrow pharmacology... that will go on until monday... i am actually excited to study pharmacology because now i'm actually ready to take in the information...

but before my pharmacology streak ends, my mom's arriving from thailand... and that only means one thing! actually 2 things... it's the day of pasalubongs (i wish i wish i wish...hahaha) and.....*cue the drumroll... the day the memory stick of the camera/psp is coming... my sister decided to limit the memory to that until my boards are over...hahahahaha... alam mo naman ako, walang control pag dating sa mga bagay na ineenjoy ko...hahhahaha...

ok enough...

i still have to study 1 and a half pacop..

so til tomorrow...

ciao

i thank you *bow

let the countdown begin!

2008-06-11T16:06:00.000+08:00

who can't feel the pressure yet?

it's 18 days before the 2 days that would determine how much we have learned in pharmacy...

and so i decided that i will be blogging for 18 days until the exam is over, because this is how i will break the stress...or else i'd either go on a anaphylactic rxn (allergic sa stress eh) or bore myself to death...

and yet, i'm still not ready... i will be, but right now i'm not.. just give me a couple of weeks (tamang tama kasi 3 weeks nalang talaga)

and the worst feeling yet, is my anxiety attacks... i can just feel my veins dilating, my heart palpitating, blood rushing to my brain, and i get all red in the face... i have to learn how to control these attacks or yet, my best (worst) antagonist would be myself...

and in line with that, i'll have to perfect yoga breathing...

i just finished my PHARMACOGNOSY...one subject down, i don't know how many more to go.. i'm aiming for the top kasi parang un lang ung safe place sa boards...hahaha... feeler... akala niyo...mamememorize ko rin yang pacop na yan...tulad ng 500++ na pharma students na magbboards...

one entry down, 17 more to go...

i thank you, *bow

hell on earth

ep espada: the mall tour

2008-05-23T16:52:00.000+08:00

yada yada yada... you can call it cutting class but i call it therapy... it started last tuesday, the lrt broke down (parang tao lang no) and we (ken and i) had to ask miguel to help us get home... when we finally arrived at qmmc, i was exhausted (not that i was the one driving) and in a really bad trip... an hour later, i was on the other end of a heated discussion...

which resulted to: me being in another depressing trip which made me stupidly lethargic that day... of course no one will ever understand what i felt that day... you may think it was shallow or inappropriate but i couldn't stand staying in one place feeling that way...

so we called lynyrd (who was asleep, sorry dude) and left manor to relax...

let's do this lrt style:

next station: gateway paparating na sa gateway
nabore kami...kasi naman kakagateway lang namin ni ken the sunday before that wednesday so.....

next station: megamall paparating na sa megamall

dun kami nagkita nila lynyrd, gusto nila magice skating but only one of us was wearing socks... so diba hassle...next time nalang... food court, ikot, starbucks, aral pacop.. syempre di mwawala ang pacop sa aming ritual tas ikot ulit sa cyberzone... tas uwi dahil sinasabihin na ako ni ken na umuwi na kami... parang tatay lang...hahahaha.. at si miguel pa pala nagsimba (woah diba)....

before we parted ways, may usapan or rather chismis na magmmall kami the next day

seeing that i wasn't ready to face another pharma review day, at nagaaya sila magmall, e di go

next station: trinoma paparating na sa trinoma

eto na ata ang pinakawalang kwentang mall trip...hahaha... miguel and i arrived at 1:30 from manor while ken and lynyrd 1:30ish din from feu...nagenroll kasi si lynyrd sa feu kaya... we found an empty couch sa foodexpress and spent hours and hours studying,watching from an iphone and eating... when we turned the tables on miguel's trip, he wanted to go home so bad, naguilty kami ni lynyrd sa ginawa namin or sa hindi namin ginawa...sorry talga

nung pauwi na kami sabi ko kay ken, sayang dapat nanood nalang kami ng indiana jones kasi gusto ko talaga mapanood un...

nagbreak si dr imasan, we went to jollibee, and won a free one-piece chickenjoy... 20 minutes after eating (me already inside the classroom), may tumawag sa akin galing sa labas.... so labas naman ako...kala ko kung ano nangyari kay ken...pagkalabas ko, sabi niya, movie tara...

the only time the mall is my friend is when i'm depressed or at least sad... and i have this thing of not quitting the habit of malling until i have coped/have the feeling gone (fade was the term i used with kath) away....

next station: trinoma paparating na sa trinoma

oo trinoma ulit... this time medyo fruitful ang lakad... dahil wala ang mahilig magaral sa amin, ayun, nagmovie nalang kami, indiana jones...classic... un lang masasabi ko...watch it to actually understand what that means... then ikot, DQ! (last treat before their med school opening) and of course ikot ulit... then home sweet home for them... syempre ako pumunta pa ako ng Sta. Lucia because my sister was sick and was having her checked up in their medical ctr....

un ang summary ng mall tour namin...hehehe..parang artista lang.. deadline ko na na dapat after sunday, i will be totally focused on studying for the board exam...wish me luck!

oh and note: the first picture was taken at SM Mall of Asia on mother's day...we cut the drills because there wasn't a rationale part...so what's the use? that day was, lunch at el pollo loco, ikot, coffee bean, ikot, national bookstore where a whole lot of talking shit happened... then nainggit kami sa mga batang may krispy kreme hats...hayun.... syempre mother's day maraming gimmick ang mga establishments... then home again...

explanation of second picture...we went "through" digital walker(wla kasing walls e) and saw the new mac desktop computer and played with the camera... since 3 lang kami at wala namang may gustong kumuha ng tig-2, that was probably the perfect solution... then we test the bluetooth of the pc by sending it to our phones...ayun, instant memory...hahhaha

as fun as it sounds in this blog, it was definitely a break from our becoming-monotonous-life...

so till next time medical nerds and manor geeks (sama kayo next time...pag ayaw niyo nang makinig)

xoxo,
KLmNO

boards na boards na daw

2008-05-17T04:33:00.000+08:00

i thought yesterday was a total waste of time.... kasi naman, pagsiksikan ba daw ang pagcheck ng drills ng 3 modules kahapon...

it was hardly 10am when i already felt crappy... i wanted to go home... wala pa kasi akong tulog nun... 2 oras palang actually tulog ko nun... and... and... i was admittedly high...HIGH... oo high sa gamot... kasi naka-4 akong magkakaibang gamot.. and that my friends is what you call POLYPHARMACY

lunch time na, naging 3 nalang kaming naiwan (6 kami nung una)... so mas nakakatamad diba...

pero, grabe, mga 1:30, tinamaan na kami ng pagkabangag, kaming 3 nila lea at caeg, tawa nalang tuloy kami ng tawa tas ang lakas na ng mga boses namin... nairita nga ata ung nasa harap namin eh... pati ung mga lalaking nagppsp sa likuran namin, hayun, nagsilabasan na...hahaha...oh well... we didn't care, gusto na namin umuwi eh...haha... tapos nung una sabi namin 3pm kami uuwi... pero dahil nakakatamad, di nalang namin tinuloy hanggang sa 5pm na, tinatamad na kaming tumayo,..... personally, gusto ko lang sanang humiga sa floor at magpagulong gulong nung time na un...kung di lang ako nakadress...

to prove that we were really "bangag" di na kami magkaintindihan ni ikai sa text at natext ko si lynyrd ng "uy lynyrd, asan na ako?" o diba... meron pang mas babangag dyan... para iexplain ang kabangagan tnxt ko ulit siya ng parang di naman masyadong obvious na bangag ako "asan ka na pala? i mean, asa batangas ka ba?" basta mas bangag pa dyan ung tnxt ko.... at nagccrap talk na ako

delaying tactics...ayaw magaral...

nakakatamad kasi, seryoso na to, masarap magpagulong gulong sa unmade bed and tangled sheets... hahaha

naginuman sila kagabi sa tagaytay, at obvious naman siguro na gusto ko sana sumama dun diba? but no, ngayong board exam season, kelangan ng mga sacrifices... in other and better words, di naman ako papayagan magovernight... at wala na din ako lakas makipagaway sa mga magulang ko ngayon... haha... pagoodshot muna ulit...bakit? secret...hahaha.. migraine na yan? bakit pde ko namang dalhin ung mga pampa"high" ko sa kung nasan man ako ahhh.....

explanation:ung mga pampahigh ko, mga prescription drugs naman sila... so don't worry, i'm not doing anything illegal... high, bangag at crappy lang talga ako lately....

handwriting

2008-04-27T17:52:00.000+08:00

handwriting analysis

Welcome Krizia Ordona, here is your handwriting analysis.

Krizia is moderately outgoing. Her emotions are stirred by sympathy and heart rendering stories. In fact, she can be kind, friendly, affectionate and considerate of others. She has the ability to put herself into the other person's shoes.

Krizia will be somewhat moody, with highs and lows. Sometimes she will be happy, the next day she might be sad. She has the unique ability to get along equally well with what psychology calls introverts and extroverts. This is because she is in between. Psychology calls Krizia an ambivert. She understands the needs of both types. Although they get along, she will not tolerate anyone that is too "far out." She doesn't sway too far one way or the other.

When convincing her to buy a product or an idea, a heart rendering story could mean a great deal to her. She puts herself in the same situation as the person in the story, yet she will not buy anything that seems overly impractical or illogical. Krizia is an expressive person. She outwardly shows her emotions. She may even show traces of tears when hearing a sad story.

Krizia is a "middle-of-the-roader," politically as well as logically. She weighs both sides of an issue, sits on the fence, and then will decide when she finally has to. She basically doesn't relate to any far out ideas and usually won't go to the extreme on any issue.

People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Krizia doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.

Krizia will demand respect and will expect others to treat her with honor and dignity. Krizia believes in her ideas and will expect other people to also respect them. She has a lot of pride.

Krizia is secretive. She has secrets which she does not wish to share with others. She intentionally conceals things about herself. She has a private side that she intends to keep that way, especially concerning certain events in her past.

Krizia has a desire for attention. People around Krizia will notice this need. She may fulfill this need by a variety of ways depending on her own character.

Diplomacy is one of Krizia's best attributes. She has the ability to say what others want to hear. She can have tact with others. She has the ability to state things in such a way as to not offend someone else. Krizia can disagree without being disagreeable.

In reference to Krizia's mental abilities, she has a very investigating and creating mind. She investigates projects rapidly because she is curious about many things. She gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but she soon must slow down and look at all the angles. She probably gets too many things going at once. When Krizia slows down, then she becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, she must slow down to do it. She then decides what projects she has time to finish. Thus she finishes at a slower pace than when she started the project.

She has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. Her mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. She can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Krizia can then switch into her low gear. When she is in the slower mode, she can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. She is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.

Krizia is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth. This is typical of people with normal healthy self-esteem. She needs to visualize the end of a project before she starts. she finds joy in anticipation and planning. Notice that I said she plans everything she is going to do, that doesn't necessarily mean things go as planned. Krizia basically feels good about herself. She has a positive self-esteem which contributes to her success. She feels she has the ability to achieve anything she sets her mind to. However, she sets her goals using practicality-- not too "out of reach". She has enough self-confidence to leave a bad situation, yet, she will not take great risks, as they relate to her goals. A good esteem is one key to a happy life. Although there is room for improvement in the confidence catagery, her self-perception is better than average.

Krizia is sarcastic. This is a defense mechanism designed to protect her ego when she feels hurt. She pokes people harder than she gets poked. These sarcastic remarks can be very funny. They can also be harsh, bitter, and caustic at the same time.

Krizia has a tendency to put things off, Krizia procrastinates. She sometimes pretends to be busy, so she will not have to do whatever she is putting off. She is often late to appointments or deadlines. This usually leads to a great amount of effort at the last minute to meet the deadline. Procrastination is an important factor as it relates to her output on the job or at school. Remember, Krizia will put it off until later. Procrastination is easily overcome through a simple stroke adjustment in the handwriting.

Krizia is selective when picking friends. She does not trust everyone. She has a select group of people that are truly close to her, usually two or three. She is careful when choosing her inner circle of friends.

Krizia has a healthy imagination and displays a fair amount of trust. She lets new people into her circle of friends. She uses her imagination to understand new ideas, things, and people.

For a graphologist, the spacing on the page reflects the writer's attitude toward their own world and relationship to things in his or her own space. If the inputted data was correct Krizia has left some white space on the left side of the paper. Krizia fills up the rest of the page in a normal fashion moving the entire writing rightward as she moves down the page. If this is true, then Krizia has a healthy relationship to the past and is ready to move on. The right side of the page represents the future and Krizia is ready and willing to get started living now and planning for the future. Krizia is leaving the past behind and moving on to what she perceives as an exciting and enticing future.

the thing is...

2008-04-26T15:50:00.000+08:00

the thing is...

this weekend was pretty interesting... i got to watch the episodes of 8 simple rules of dating my teenage daughter that was produced in the memory of john ritter who died in the middle of the series (when i say died, i mean died in real life not just kill the character)... it was a good show and continued to run without the character of paul henessey in it.

in the part 2 of goodbye, cate's father said:
we are always disappointed with the things we have because we live by the impression that life is supposed to be about what we deserve.

something like that i paraphrased, can't remember the real deal... but the same banana...

but yeah, he is correct... i lived by the idea that i deserved to be in med school and got disappointed because.... because you know why... of course the quote doesn't make it any easier to accept the fact that that plan, isn't going to happen... but.... but... i don't know.... for the first time in my life i do not know... for the first time, i don't have a plan... and that doesn't mean being sidetracked but it means... it means, i just don't have a damn plan....

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

the thing is... there is a next quote which is:
"Okay, readers, today we're going to have a little pop quiz. It's multiple choice, so sharpen your #2 pencils and put on your thinking caps. Ready? Here's a quote. 'Dad, you're an idiot.' Now, contestants, this was said to me because of which of the following transgressions:
A. Coming to the breakfast table wearing pajamas and black socks;
B. Asking my oldest daughter if that guy I saw her talking to at school yesterday was her boyfriend;
C. Referring to rapper 50 Cent as 'Fifty Cents';
Or D. Entering the room?
Ok, pencils down. Actually, it was a trick question. The answer is all of the above. Now do you know how many times I called my father an idiot? Zero. Why? Because I feared him. Back then we didn't share our deep personal feelings. Our deepest conversations usually involved the tigers' bull pen. But my kids? I can't get them to shut up. There's not a feeling that my kids are afraid to express, over and over and over. And my wife reassures me this is a good thing, over and over and over. And she's always right. So do I wish that my kids feared me? Well, my house would be quieter and I'd spend a lot less time in the bathroom, but no. Because I know that whenever they insult me, whether it's a "You're an idiot," "What a geek," or an "I hate you," an "I love you" isn't far behind. And it's the knowledge that my kids love me that makes it safe for me to wear pajamas and black socks to the breakfast table."

that was... touching... really... if you watched the show and have watched it ever since, you can just feel the sadness.... i just felt like it was a good quote to add to this blog... especially since lately i have been having problems about----- i can't say what it is... but for the people who know, well, shhhhh...

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

the thing is...

erase erase erase...

the good thing about having friends with relationships is you can't help but learn from them...

the good thing about having friends who are single is that they can give you their undivided attention when you feel like a total wreck

the thing about having friends with relationships is they are your friends and no matter how wrong their move was you can't help but prove/persuade them that they have done the right thing. it's check--- and mate....

the thing about having friends who are single is that they are idealistic yet honest and so no matter what mishap you have concurred to at the moment, they have the untainted version of what it is supposed to be...

i think..

so in general: hang in there, guys... look at the big picture and focus on the silver lining... hahaha and i guess all the "wise" and crappy words i want to say to you, i have already said to you personally...

--FIN--
