end of the enrollment/bianca's 18th birthday

finally, after 3 days of going back to school for enrollment, i managed to finish all steps last october 26, 2007. i woke up early in the morning because we all agreed to go to school at 7am sharp. i arrived at about 7:05am but at least i was still early. i first saw my classmate vj who was the first to arrive. then i was the next and alvin and john paul arrived at the same time. then one by one they started coming. we were pissed off with some of our classmates who came in late. we texted them and asked them where they were but they weren't even replying. they came at 8am and we were like mad at them for not coming on time.
after we were all complete, we went upstairs at gdlsc 3rd floor where the next step is supposed to take place. when we arrived at the 3rd floor there were already few people. we waited in the line for our turn. while outside the room, we were all chatting with each other. the first year student assistant got all our id's so she could look for our enrollment envelope. after which, finally all of us were able to go inside the room. in that step, we are able to determine what section we are supposed to be in. we all planned to finish enrollment at the same time so that we would all be in the same section.
while inside, we all waited for our turn for each enrollment advisers to tend to us. some of us were even having a good time talking with the clinical instructors. after the first one finished, we all waited for the others to finish so that we could proceed to the next step. when we were all done, we went downstairs for encoding and i thought we would finish early but i was wrong. when we were at the encoding step, they told us that are section doesn't have a schedule yet. we were all disappointed so we went to other places while waiting for our turn. me and dana were together all the time. by the time we were both hungry, we ate downstairs.
after we were done eating, we saw our classmate anabelle and she told us that we can proceed to the encoding. we were so happy so we immediately went upstairs. by the time we got there, we had a problem. one of the professors told us that we should have 32 units so all of us went upstairs and explained the commotion downstairs. we all complained so one of the clinical instructors went downstairs to talk to the people in charge of the encoding. after the problem was solved, we went downstairs again to finish with the encoding step. after we were done, me and dana went immediately to the cashier to pay our tuition. when we got there, the line was so long but good thing that dana's aunt reserved us a spot. i was really devastated because of the long line. while waiting for the line to move, i borrowed dana's zen so that i wouldn't get bored. we also chatted so that the boredom will lessen.
i was really worried with the time because i have to go to my friend bianca's debut. we got inside the cashier at about 3pm. we went in line at 1pm and oh can you just imagine the time we spent in the line. after we finished at the casher, we went to the srmd which is the second to the last step. the line wasn't that long and the procedure went fast. after finishing at srmd, we went to the final step which is the final registration. the line was long and it was slow moving. the guard lets in a person one at a time. by the time i got in, it was already 4pm. me and my friends are supposed to meet at sm megamall at 5:30pm but i was till at school. by the time i got to the last step i only had few minutes left. after i finished with all steps, i immediately went out of school and i ran sometimes.
i texted my friend kathleen to know where she is. she told me that she's on her way to megamall. i was really in such a hurry to go home so that i cold change my dress. by the time i got home, it was almost dark. i didn't take a bath coz i would be more late. when i was about to leave, it took some time for me to convince my parents to give me money. i texted my friends to tell them to wait for me at sm megamall. i was really pissed off because there was a traffic going to junction. when i got down from the jeepney, i went to the fx terminal to wait for an fx going to sm megamall. good thing there was an fx and i went in. i was really glad that there weren't that much traffic. when i was near sm megamall, my friends were calling me and asking where i was.
finally, i arrived at sm megamall. i went inside and found my friends waiting for me. when i got in we went outside to wait for a cab. it was really difficult for us to hail a cab so we decided to go to the line of the taxi terminal. we found our other friend there so we joined them in the line. it took us a long time to get a cab in the line so me, kathleen, blaine and andrew went to other side to take cab but there still weren't any. we decided to walk to were we can find jeepneys. we were lucky enough to find a transpo to take us to jade palace.
we were all glad to arrive at jade palace. we waited for our other friends before we went inside. finally, we were all there and bon was the one who took us inside the venue. when we got to the place, our friend bianca was surprised to see us. and the party begins. we prayed first before we ate. there were a lot of foods put in in front of us, not to mention its chinese food. all the foods was so delicious and we were all full. i love the buchi..hehe..^^ while we were eating, the short program began. it was a fun program and it was a fun birthday party. we finished at about 10pm. it was nice to get together with my friends. i got home after a long day.

first day of enrollment

yesterday was the first day of enrollment. me and my groupmates were the first to enroll because we were transferred to another section. i arrived at school at about 12:00 noon. when i went upstairs, the first batch to enroll haven't started yet. they told me that they were on-hold because the clearance isn't out yet. so, what i did was ate my lunch because i was really hungry and i felt so dizzy because of the hot weather. good thing i was with my former classmates rio and danica to accompany me while i eat. after i finished eating, we went upstairs to the gdlsc 2nd floor to check for the progress. when we were there, the line seems to be a lot longer when i arrived. what we did is we endured the long line. ceu's system is really slow. i was in the line at about 1:30pm and the line isn't moving at all. all of the students were noisy and have their own businesses to mind. good thing my classmates are there and i wasn't alone.
we waited hours before its our time to proceed to step 1. i was in the line at 1:30pm and only started progressing at about 3:00pm. the first room was full of people and OMG! the smell wasn't so good. there were some hateful second year students, which are my batchmates. i hate them even before..haha..^^ it was really a long process of enrollment. when we arrived at step 2, we have had to be put on hold because two of our subjects in our clearance doesn't have grades. what we did is we went to the dean's office to settle the problem. it took some time for us to wait for our grades. one of my classmate was annoying me so i got angry at him. he's always like that but sometimes his jokes are offensive. anyways, after they gave our grades we went back to step 2. man! it was really tiring.
after settling all the requirements in step 2, we went upstairs to the 3rd floor. i was glad that we were no longer in section E and was transferred again to our original section S. i was sad though, because some of my groupmates was transferred to another section. we did everything so that our CI would allow them to transfer to our section. i just wish they would be transferred. after wards, we decided to go home for we are all tired. i will resume my enrollment on october 25, 2007.

hell week is over!!!

yay! finally, hell week is over. after our final exams last october 11, 2007, all second year nursing students of first semester, school 2007-2008 got busy finishing our output for our health care requirements. we all thought that we were gonna have a full semester break but we were wrong. all groups of ahse 2S had their meeting on what to do with all the requirements. we were all super busy with typing our output, going to school for the clinical instructors to check and correct them. i was really not in the mood to go to school but then i have to because it's a requirement and i have to pass all of it.
we also had problems with the grouping because my group, 2S was divided among 3 clinical instructors. we had problems because we didn't know if were going to be a part of our adopted group during the book binding. anyways, this whole week has been hell for all sophomore students. for the past few weeks, all i did was type my output, print it, edit it and think about the informations to put in the output. i also had to sleep for less hours and it was very tiresome. some had problems with the format but fortunately it went well.
today, it was the day for all groups to book bind their output. my adopted group was 2S2 and earlier today we met up at jollibee mendiola. oh my gosh! this week has also been about bankruptcy. i have to ask my mom and dad for money and i was really guilty on doing so but i really have to. all my money is gone just for the sake of finishing my output. moving on, me and my groupmates arranged all the outputs in proper order according to the table of contents. it was really tiring and you have t o have money for all the expenses. i was glad that we were able to find a place at recto were the price for book binding was appropriate for our budget. i was really glad that this whole output thing is over.
after our business at school, we went to jowell's apartment to have some fun. i went home early because i felt really asleep and i don't drink alcoholic beverage that much..hehe..^^ all i have to do is worry about my grades. we can see it on october 23. i hope that i'm going to pass because i really don't want to be an irregular student. i don't want to be delayed for a year. anyways, i'm really glad that i can finally have the break i've been waiting for. i wish i would really pass. i hope that ahse 2S would always be ahse 2S. keep the faith guys! hoping to see you next semester. take care you guys. godbless...

dlsu champions!!!

omg! this day is the most awaited day for all the uaap season 70 fans of the senior's men's basketball. i thought i wasn't able to start because i was doing something. when i turned on the television it was still the awarding ceremonies. chris tiu's brother is really good looking. i was surprised that he was there and the reason behind that is chris tiu wasn't present to receive his award as a part of the mythical five.
then, the game started. it was a really good game which made me nervous. i really wanted la salle to win the championships because i think it's their year despite of their suspension last year. i was really nervous when ue was leading the game but i was glad that la salle was able to overcome ue's lead. at the 4th quarter, i was screaming and i cannot control myself from doing so. while watching the game, i was doing my community output but i can't really concentrate because i would really like to watch the action. i was so loud downstairs watching the game. it was so intense and i thought they wouldn't survive. then, it happened.. the de la salle university green archers beat the ue red warriors. they were named the uaap season 70 senior's men's basketball champions. i was really glad that they won and i was really happy. i was so happy for them. i realy love oliver cua..hehe..^^
good thing that la salle won because i really didn't like the attitude of ue. they thought that because they were able to sweep the whole elimination round doesn't mean that no one could beat them. i think la salle had the passion and determination to win. they really played well and was able to execute a good game. i really love it! animo la salle!!!

community immersion

last october 3-4, 2007 was our last community immersion for this semester at balakilong, batangas. well, i actually don't want to go because the after work is crazy. i think my chosen course, nursing, is a hell lot of a course. its hard but at the same time fun. i woke up early in the morning of october 3 because i didn't want to be late. my classmate angel picked me up at home using their car. her dad dropped us off at the lrt station in santolan. when there, we waited for our other classmates to arrive. when we were completed we rode the train going to legarda station. when we arrived at legarda station, we immediately hailed a cab to take us to park and ride at lawton because it is our meeting place. while waiting for our clinical instructors, some of us bought foods in the stalls at lawton. i also bought donuts at mister donut because the donuts displayed in dunkin donuts is not of my liking..hehe..^^
ma'am laccopia, the clinical instructor from team b asked us to form a line by group because we are going to ride the bus. i was really nervous at that time because i violated a rule (i won't say what rule that is) and i thought that she's going to inspect our bags. then came sir castelo (oh! i miss him so much!). he was our health care lecture professor during the midterms. finally, we boarded the bus. same place as before during our first community immersion. there were a lot of my classmates who arrived late but thank goodness they were still allowed to join the immersion. there were also other students from other sections who join us. we started our trip with a prayer to ask for guidance and blessing from the Lord. then, the conductor of the bus put in a dvd for us to watch during the trip. it was evan almighty and i was glad because i haven't watched that movie yet.
i wasn't able to pay attention to the movie at first because the volume was low and at the same time i had a slight headache. but then i tried watching it and it was a lot of fun. the movie was funny and i loved it. after the movie, all of us went back to normal. chatting with each other, sleeping and eating inside the bus. we were really surprised because we arrived at the sto. tomas market earlier than we expected. when there, we bought all the necessary food provisions that we have to buy. me and my buddies bought a lot of food provisions for our satisfaction..hehe..^^ after buying, we went back to the bus. there were still only few of us so what we did was to take pictures inside the bus. i am actually the official photographer of our section. we took a lot of pictures and most of them are really hilarious. after we were tired taking pictures, we sat down and relaxed and waited for our other classmates. after being completed, we now set off to balakilong.
it was still a long trip from sto. tomas to balaiklong. i took the chance to take a sleep even though some of my classmates were very noisy. when we finally got to balakilong, we were all happy. we went to the barangay hall where our clinical instructors will give us further reminders and instructions. after that, we all went to our respected foster parents home. when we arrived at our foster parents home, our foster parents weren't there as well as their children, the first thing that we did was to put our things in the room assigned to us. after which we went to the kitchen to cook our lunch. we cooked pork chop for our lunch because it is much easier to cook. after we were done cooking, it's time for us to eat. i ate a lot because i was really hungry. when we were done eating, we washed the dishes and went back to our room. we rested for a while before going back to the barangay hall for a meeting with the clinical instructors.
it was really nice to have a sleep even just for while. i wake my buddies before 2 o'clock so that we can prepare. after we were done, we went to the barangay hall. there, the ci's told us what we have to do for our output. after the meeting, we each went back to accomplish our jobs. some went to look for other families to interview including me but i decided to stick with the family in our house. while waiting for them, me and paula slept because we were really tired. i woke up when our foster parents have arrived. i was writing my learning feedback diary when our ci's visited us at home. tatay told us that they were there so i went out of the house. they just wanted to know our names and the name of our foster mother. after they left, i went back t our room to continue what i was doing. i wasn't able to interview my foster family early because they had visitors and i though it would be rude to do so.
finally, when the family was available, i grabbed the opportunity and asked them if i could interview them. after they agreed, i gathered all my things and started the interview. after my interview with the family, i went back to our room, and continued writing my lfd. when paula, got back from her interview, we went to the kitchen to cook dinner. we had a long chit chatting while we were eating and it was so fun and we enjoyed every stories we shared. after finishing, we went back to our room, did our rituals before going to bed. i continued with my lfd before i slept. it was a very long and tiring day. finally, the first day of our second community immersion is finished.
next day. i woke up at 6:45 in the morning. i did my morning rituals and woke my buddies so that we can freshen ourselves before the healthy lifestyle. when it's almost 7:00am, we went to the barangay hall for our healthy lifestyle. when the ci's arrived, we started the exercise. we had a lot of fun during the exercise because the leaders were doing funny things. after the exercise, group s and s1 were the first one to take the quiz because there weren't much space inside the barangay hall. after our group was done taking the quiz, we accompanied dana and anne to buy spaghetti sauce. while doing so, we were taking pictures to have remembrance. it was so much fun taking pictures. after which, we went to their foster house to eat spaghetti and the tiramisu dana and anne made. when there, we continued with our lfd and after they were done cooking, we ate. the spaghetti and tiramisu was so delicious. i really loved it. after finishing the food, we chatted about certain things and we enjoyed every bit of it. when we were done, we decided to go back home to our respected family house.
back at our room, we chatted more and i decided to take a bath first. it was so nice to take a bath because you feel refreshed. when i was done, my other buddy took her bath. i went out of the house to ask nanay if she have the evaluation form for the parents, she said that our ci's took it already so i went abck to our room. when all of us were done bathing, we arranged our things, prepared ourselves to leave balakilong. we went to the place where the bus dropped us off when we got to balakilong. finally, our bus arrived and we boarded it. before going to the bus, we were taking pictures in the highway..hehe..^^ then off we go to manila. the conductor once again let us watch another movie which is music and lyrics. i love that movie. the story was nice and i fell in love with hugh grant. it was a really nice movie and i would love to watch it again once i have the time, but not right now.
it was a long trip from batangas to manila. i was so excited to go back home because i thgouht i was going to be able to watch the uaap finals game 1 between dlsu and ue. unfortunately, the television on our bus doesn't have studio 23. i was really pissed off because there was huge traffic in manila. what i did was i texted some people i know who are also watching. i was so happy that they replied to my texts and updated me with the scores. finally, we arrived at lawton, manila. we are back in manila. we all went our separate ways to go back home. me and my companions rode the taxi. when we were at the taxi stand, we saw a television which was on studio 23. my classmates were joking me and told me that they would leave me there so i can watch the game. finally, its our turn to ride the taxi. we told the taxi to drop us off at legarda station. the traffic was really heavy and that was what made me more pissed off.
at legarda station, we rode the train going to santolan station. there, we rode the fx so that we could go home much earlier. i was really happy with the results because la salle was leading the game. sometimes, i get so worried because i thought they were gonna lose. finally, i arrived at my destination, makro. at the tricycle, i was still in contact with those who are watching the uaap game. i was so happy when my friend told me that la salle won with a one-point lead. i was really glad because the people from ue are so "mayabang" because they thought no one could beat them. i wish la salle will win this championship this year for the uaap men's basketball. that's it for now. i'm going to finish what has to be done.
