Holiday Vacation...Not?!

Can yo believe it? Christmas season is coming soon but I couldn't feel it. Unlike before, way back when i was younger, I used to anticipate Christmas and New Year Season. My mom would buy us "torotot" and the likes but now, since we're already old enough, nothing like that is present. As time goes by, I can no longer feel the Christmas and New Year spirit just like what my friends and I shared with some of our talks. Anyways, Christmas and New Year Season is not the main topic of my post.

Well, we all thought that we could have a holiday vacation, requirement free but that is not the case with us, Junior and Senior students of Centro Escolar University College of Nursing. We still have our Enhancement Duty, which, I don't know why the College of Nursing implemented since it is against the University rules and regulations because the last day of classes were last December 19, 2008. One of our Clinical Instructors told us that the University is not responsible for anything that will happen to us students because this Enhancement Duty is not the part of the University-wide rules and regulations but the College of Nursing made it themselves.

Also, we have to make 15 Nursing Care Plans and 15 Drug Study as part of our requirement for our NCM 102 and Pharmacology subject. What a hassle?! I mean, this should be done when we get back of school for the year 2009 but they want us to make all these requirements. I'm not against it or anything because I know it will be part of our grades but, whatever (I don't exactly know how I will put it in words..haha :D). I guess I just have to make them while I still have time.

I just have to spend my holiday vacation with much fun as possible. Wait for my ninongs and ninangs to give me money or gives and indulge myself with eating lots and lots of foods. Nyahaha :D That's what its all about you know, going to different houses of your family friend to eat and talk and have fun. Have a Merry Holiday to all of you!!! Peace out! :D

Miguel Escueta @ 6Underground/Juni's Birthday

Yey! Finally, exam week is over for the Prelim Period. Next is another adventure for us Junior students to work harder for our future. Our exam in Pharmacology was so difficult that I didn't even solve some of the computation problems. I just chose from the choices given. I'm such an idiot when it comes to Math. Haha :) But I'm not stupid okay, only when it comes to numbers and computations.

Yesterday was the celebration for Miguel Escueta's lead guitarist Juni. I still feel like it happened today because I still have a hangover and its 3 o'clock in the morning. My thoughts are not really organized when I'm sleepy. While waiting for my new found friend, me and my classmates stayed at McDonald's Farmers to eat because we were all hungry. The four of us chatted until it was time for me to go. I met my new friend Karen, who is also an avid fan of Miguel Escueta.

We went together at 6Underground. We had an adventure going to SM Megamall to 6Undergorund but good thing we didn't get lost because I've already been there once. I was so shocked that there was entrance fee but since its for the sake of seeing Miguel again, we payed for it. I had to lend Karen money because she was short on budget but it was okay for me. While we were inside, some of the bands that they invited was already performing. Then, one of the workers at 6Undergorund told me that what we were waiting for has already arrived which was Miguel himself.

He was at the bar then he saw me even though the place we were staying at was a bit dark. He still noticed me. Haha :) He approached Karen and I and gave us a high five, which I think is his favorite thing to do whenever I get to see him. He is such a nice guy. He also asks us if we were okay. Then, Kuya Yuri approached us and talked to us. He talked to us and even gave us some beer which was San Mig Light and Red Horse (ngayon na lang ulit ako nakainom ng alak). It was nice watching all the bands performed. I think I liked three of the bands who performed that night. It was sad because Andie and the other listers weren't there but we still managed.

After their set, we decided to go home because it was already morning and we really have to go home. I really enjoyed that night. It was ann unforgettable one because... Haha :) I'm so happy because Miguel is such a nice person that he tries to make sure that everyone in that place was doing okay. He's one of the nicest people I met in the music industry. He's really a good guy. Wahaha :) Naku, Andie's going to read this. Lumalandi na naman ako. Nyahahah :D Anyways, I really had a good time today. Until the next gig again.

TWILIGHT, second time around

December 2, 2008
Twilight
Sta. Lucia East Grand Mall, Cinema 8

Today, when I arrived at school for our morning class, all I could ever talk about with my friends who have watched and read Twilight. I went on babbling about it with my friends. Anyhow, just to share with you, I managed to put some of the pictures from Twilight. I showed them to those who have watched the movie, especially the girls, and they were all so giggly about it. I guess that's how big the effect was to them made by the famous Edward Cullen, of course, played by Robert Pattinson. So, all day long, that was our topic. And for our friends who haven't watched the movie yet, they tried to keep some distance. Haha :)

My very good friend who really wants to watched it today decided to go for it. Since we don't have classes tomorrow, I agreed to accompany her since I thought maybe that if I watch it the second time around, I would appreciate it more. When we were having the film viewing for our NCM subject, me and my other friend kept on talking about Twilight and the other books. I managed to spoil her a little about the things that happened and she was already interested in reading all the books. She was SO addicted to Edward. She still has the Twilight hangover. Maybe I do too. Haha :) We had different topics throughout the conversation but we still end up going back to Twilight. Oh, by the way, we watched "The Bucket List" starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. W have a DVD of it at home but I had no interest in watching it. But, when we watched it today, I found out that it was really good and the movie was touching.

After our NCM class, me and my friend who can;t wait any longer to watch Twilight, made it out of the school. We take the usual route going home which is to ride the LRT. So, we were already in Sta. Lucia East Grand Mall, we looked at the time and we bought ourselves a ticket to the 6:40 pm showing, Premiere, P 130.00. My friend treated me with the P 30.00. We didn't go inside the theater house yet, instead, we bought some food to eat which was Pizza Hut and C2. We waited a few minutes outside and when we finished our first pizza, we decided to go inside. So, the trailers were already showing and I tell you, there were lots of them. I was getting bored already because it was almost 7 pm and they haven't started with the movie yet.

And, finally, the movie started. If I may say so, I really appreciated it this time around. Still, my favorite scene in the movie was the Baseball game. I'm still in love with Jasper, Carlisle and James. Haha :) I also liked Robert Pattinson this time around, but still, he wasn't the Edward I imagined. I was all giggly too. Haha :) I'm still a loser with remembering all the events that happened in the book, they're still a blur to me. I think I'm influenced by all these girls who are so addicted to Rob Pattinson's character. What else? I still hated how they made Jacob Black look so "Indian". He doesn't even have a long hair in the book. WTF?! I still laugh whenever I see him in the movie. Its just so funny, though he's good looking when he has his normal look. The movie is so fast-paced. There were lots of missing parts but I understand since you can't fit all what's written in the book in a 121 minute film. Oh well, as I've said before, the movie is done already. I just hope that when they make "New Moon" it will be better.

on the big screen: TWILIGHT

November 29, 2008

Twilight
Glorietta 4, Cinema 6

November 29, 2008 was the day. I had the chance to watch the most anticipated movie this year. It wasn't supposed to be released until this december but since the date for the showing of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was moved to summer next year, the producers of Twilight grabbed the opportunity to move the time schedule for the premiere of the movie. Twilight, after a few days of its premiere, became such a huge success.

I was supposed to go to the music video shoot of Miguel Escueta's new single "Blue Monday" also in Makati but, sadly, I didn't made it on time because my class ends at 2pm and there was an announcement from our class president about the OR/DR/CDR completion. I was kinda sad but I just said to myself that there is always a next time that I will see Miguel Escueta. Anyways, I tagged along with me my friend Cez. I told her about the music video shoot but unfortunately, as I've said, we didn't made it on time because there was a traffic at Ortigas area.

We ended up watching Twilight instead at Glorietta 4. Me and Cez had an adventure inside the mall because we ended up getting lost and asking every security guards for directions. I thought I knew the mall because I used to go there with my mom and other siblings. I guess it was hard without mom because she knows all the way in the mall. We ate first at McDonald's because we were hungry. We both ordered Cheeseburger Value Meal Go Big Time. That just shows how hungry we both are. I decided to meet up with Andie, the Moderator of Miguel's Escueta's Mailing List. She told us everything that happened during the music video shoot and also showed some of the pictures she took. It was nice seeing her again and talking with her. It was so much fum. My friend liked her and told me that she's wacky. haha :)

After we were done eating, Andie and us separated ways. Andie was going to spend her time window shopping (I hope she bought something). Me and Cez made our way to the theater. Damn! I wasn't surprised how many people were there lining up to buy their tickets to see Twilight. It doesn't matter what age you are as long as you're there to see the movie. Almost all of the cinemas in Glorietta 4 were Twilight. The others were Bolt and Quantum of Solace. So, I bought the tickets and all the lines were long. After buying the ticket, those in the 5:40 pm showing must wait in line. So, we decided to go to the ladies bathroom first and when we got out, we were surprised because the line was so long. I was like "Is this for real? WTF?!" haha :)

While waiting in the line, I was observing everyone who was in the lone to go see the movie. me and my friend were wondering if all of them got the chance to read the book, NOT. of course they haven't. also, it's already hard to find a copy of the Twilight book because Breaking Dawn was on display since it is the latest installment of the Twilight Saga. We talked and talked until the time came they let us in. I was really excited since I received some mixed reviews from the movie. Wow, there were really lots of people inside the movie house. Amazing! Then, trailers started showing. My friend couldn't keep her excitement anymore.

Finally, the movie began. We both were immersed in watching the movie as well as the others inside. Damn! Almost all of the girls screamed when Carlisle appeared. I was really shocked. And of course, every girl screamed when Edward finally made an appearance. *gawk* I was having such a good laugh during that time. It was much more entertaining to hear and see all the girls giggling for Edward played by Robert Pattinson. I don't really remember that much from what I've read in Twilight. It was all a blur to me since it was a long time ago since I've read the book. I really liked the actors who played Japser and James.

There were some funny moments in the movie. But the part that I really liked was the Baseball Game. I also liked this part in the book. It was unbelievable, you know, all of their strengths with throwing and batting the ball as well as how fast they catch the ball. I was really amazed with how Alice was pitching the ball. Her leg swing were really high. haha :) That was funny. Rosalie is so pretty. The only honest thing I can say about the movie is that I don't like Robert Pattinson. Not that he wasn't good in the movie. I actually liked it that he didn't have an accent and that his voice was so solemn and soft-spoken. When I found out that he was playing Edward I was like "WTF?!" Its just that he wasn't the Edward I imagined from the book. Oh well, the movie is done already so might as well accept it.

I don't know what to say about the movie. It has some good points as well but not at all great as I have expected. I'm so tough to please when it comes to watching movies. But all in all, I think it somehow did justice to the book. Even Stephenie Meyer made a cameo appearance. When the movie was done, the persons at the back didn't like it because for the sole reason that they didn't read the book. Oh well, lets just see what will happen to New Moon.

Breaking Dawn

after almost a year since i've read twilight, new moon and eclipse, i finally had the chance to read breaking dawn. my sister haven't bought herself a copy of the book but good thing my younger sister borrowed from her classmate so i had the chance to read the book and finish ahead of her.

they say that the book received a lot of negative reviews so i kinda hesitated if i still wanted to read the book. maybe that's the reason why my other sister didn't buy a copy of the book.

here are some of those negative reviews:
*Publisher's Weekly stated that the main problem was that "Essentially, everyone gets everything they want, even if their desires necessitate an about-face in characterization or the messy introduction of some back story. Nobody has to renounce anything or suffer more than temporarily--in other words, grandeur is out."

*Entertainment Weekly graded Breaking Dawn with a D, criticizing the birth scene and Bella's "unwavering passion for Edward" and having no other goals.

*reviews courtesy of wikipedia

so here's what i have to say about the book. of course, it is all about bella's perspective. till now, i don't know how to react or what to comment about the book. i guess its quite interesting to know what will happen to bella and edward's love story. i won't give away too much information because some of those who may read this review haven't read breaking dawn yet.

i didn't like some of the chapter titles in the book because it was too long, not interesting at all. also, i didn't like how jacob is still attached to bella after knowing the reality that she and edward is already married and have a child. anyways, towards the end, nothing so bizarre happened when the whole volturi clan paid a visit to the cullen family and their invited witnesses.

what i liked in the book was that of course, bella and edward's love story and the fact that they had a child. also, bella having a gift after turning into a vampire. i kinda liked the idea that their daughter was wonderful just like how the other characters in the book fell in love with her. i hope i'm making sense. haha :) anyways, the book had some good points too. i just can't remember everything i read.

i guess, this is all for the twilight saga. i hope that stephenie meyer would pursue with "midnight sun" which is about edward's perspective.

nurses' day 2008

november 22, 2008
nurses' day celebration 2008
sandwich, sinosikat, merenggue
north quadrangle
centro escolar university, manila

well, the most awaited event for all the nursing students of CEU. the nurses' day celebration, a break from all the stress and sleepless nights. all nursing students didn't have classes but they still had to come to school to sign their attendance. during the morning activities, a thanksgiving mass was held at the librada avelino auditorium and the opening ceremonies were also held there. all the participants were the nursing student council, level officers and class officers.

after the opening ceremonies, they didn't want to let us out of the auditorium but we just had to go out because there were more important thing that we had to do. we forced our friend who was guarding the door to let us out. there were many junior students who were trapped inside but thankfully, our friend let us out and i gave her a kiss on the cheek. haha :) so, we ate our lunch since me and my classmates were starving. we chatted a while on the lanai with our other classmates while waiting for our attendance for our pharmacology class. afterwards, we went to the library to research on our assignment in english.

we have to research on 5 thesis and copy the research title, research problem, specific problems and the references. we had difficulty in looking for different topics because some were incomplete. finally, we settled and copied the informations we needed. it was so cold inside the library and i cannot write legibly anymore because my hand was freezing. after copying all the informations, we immediately went out of the library to get us out of our suffering. it was nice to be outside because the temperature was warmer. after that, i went home so that i could change my clothes.

i didn't have any difficulties in going home because there wasn't any traffic except at sta. lucia mall. when i arrived home, i changed from my clinical uniform to my civilian clothes. i didn't rush since there were still a lot of time and it was still early. when i was already prepared, i left our house to go back to school. i was really annoyed because of the traffic jam going to lrt santolan station and i had an headache. so, when i arrived at mendiola, i waited for my friends so that we could go inside the school. the first two people that i saw were karyl and phaning. we chatted for a while and took some pictures on my new phone.

we met up with our other friends near the police station at mendiola. when we were at the north gate, we went inside. i thought we couldn't go in because we were wearing sandals/slippers. when we were inside, we signed on the registration booth and watched the singing contest. we were at the back because all the seats in front were occupied. me and my friends were excited to see the band "merenggue". haha :) it has been a while since we saw them. phaning, my friend, have two brothers in the band.

we enjoyed the show that was going on. after the singing contest was the dance contest. the juniors had two representatives. we really enjoyed it especially when the seniors showcased their talents. we enjoyed it. but, what we enjoyed the most was the presentation of our friends who were included in the dance contest. we really cheered out loud for them and all of them were really good. next was the battle of the bands. the judges were two of merenggue's band member: daryl and stanley and the other i think was a clinical instructor. then, the rain started pouring. what we did was "pinayungan namin yung tatlong judges kasi wala silang payong" and "nakakaawa naman kong mababasa lang sila don" might as well shield them from the rain with our umbrella.

it was really tiring to do such but it was okay. they had to cut short the battle of the bands because the guest bands should be performing already. the first band was "sinosikat". honestly, i didn't care at all before when i see their music videos on mtv. but when i saw them perform live, i really enjoyed it. kat, the vocalist was really pretty and sexy. she is such a good performer. another thing, their bassist was really cute. haha :) i like him. their songs were good but as i have said. i didn't care much before but i heard their songs on the radio. the next band to perform was "sandwich". that made all the students, nursing or not, stand in the chairs. it was really enjoyable and all the people had fun watching ans singing along to them. they sang: selos, betamax, sugod, zaido and procrastinator. mong alcaraz wasn't there because he had to be with his other band "chicosci".

after sandwich, half of the audience dispersed. haha :) it was really fun and all had a great time. i think my energy during that tome was drained. then, "merenggue" was the next band to perform. two of the members were from CEU. me and my friends went to the front of the stage at least to make up for being at the back of the pack during the performance of sinosikat and sandwich. we were screaming so hard to show support. we were the few people who knows the band and the others might be wondering why we were screaming so loud. haha :) anyways, we enjoyed their performance too. as i've said, i think all of the energy of the audience was drained.

after the performance of merneggue, the battle of the bands resumed. there were 3 participants in the junior level. the next to perform included our good friend and they were really good. the last to perform were our classmates on english and political science. when all of the bands were done performing, they announced the winners of the singing and dance contest and battle of the bands. the freshmen grabbed the victory in the singing contest. we, juniors, grabbed the victory for the dance contest and battle of the bands. we didn't expect our friends to win in the dance contest but at the same time we wanted them to win. anyways, all the excitement had to end.

the pictures will be posted very soon. there are still some things to be done :p

busy, busy, busy

well, it is the start of the second semester for school year 2008-2009. for the start of the first week, we had our RLE class. we had our orientation and lecture for OR. me and my classmates were wondering if we can survive all the sterile techniques that we had to do in the OR. i guess we'll just have to wait.

new semester, new classmates. i guess its okay because it means that i am extending my social networks of friends and not limited to those i know since i started college. i'm glad to meet all my new classmates and wish that i could get close to them. of course, i still have my so-called "inspiration" which all of my friends know of. haha :) everytime i see this person, i go crazy and scream and giggle like a little girl. also, there's a new person we met which made all the girls in our class focus on this person. this person is really good-looking, tall and so nice to us students.

we were given our schedule for the whole prelim period. we have a total of six hospital duty, including the enhancement duty which will take place on december 22 & 23. goodluck to all ceu level 3 bsn students. we can do it! so, we also have our community immersion and i am really looking forward to it. i guess i'll be busy next week and the weeks to follow. good night!

seeing the dentist and other topics

i went to the dentist today as recommended by our school dentist. i should have gone to see the dentist long ago but we're short in money. its not that we're the only family who is having financial crisis. anyways, just last week i told my mom that i would go and see our family dentist which is also our family friend for many years now. so, i did it today. i went there this afternoon. they have a small clinic which i remember that when i was way younger, we use to go there often to treat our teeth.

what the dentist did to me was light cure restoration or "pasta". she repaired the cavities that are almost damaged if not treated. i was seated in the chair for so long and my jaw was left hanging for quite some time. it was really hard for me not to swallow because every time that my mouth felt like that it is full of saliva, my gag reflex will be stimulated. so, i just endured the pain and put up a brave front. haha :) it was nice for me to have my teeth treated because it has been a while since i've went to see a dentist. it was actually refreshing. she also recommended that i have braces, just because. so, that was my trip to the dentist.

i miss blogging so much. i haven't been able to post a blog about the things that had happened to me since the start of our semestral break; and now, another semester is about to start. well, let me start when we had our sem break. at first i didn't know what to do at home and i was really bored. we still had to do our community photo album which is recommended for all nursing students in our school, and it was by class. those with the "creative side" were asked to take part on the making of our community photo album.

next is that i watched season 2 of ugly betty and season 4 of grey's anatomy as well as other seasons of various american shows that my sister downloaded. we also had our enrollment for the second semester which only took us half day (for the first time!). it was the easiest enrollment we had and made history in all of our stay in CEU college of nursing. what else did i do? i also watched "it started with a kiss". it was really good and i love the drama. i love joe cheng! haha :) it was really funny and there were as well some irritating scenes. but over all it was really good.

right now, i am busy with watching "they kiss again" which i know is already finished in abs-cbn. i have to finish it before another semester begins. i am really envious of ariel lin whenever she and joe cheng will share a sweet and passionate kiss. damn it! joe cheng is much better looking at "they kiss again". i am so loving this drama right now.

i wonder what's in store for me this coming second semester. i am excited to face pharmacology and medical-surgical nursing in which we would take up for our NCM 102. i better study hard and prepare for it as well. i better watch this new taiwanese drama showing in abs-cbn called "why why love". haha :) well, that's about it. i'm not in the mood to put so much details in my blog today. thanks!

M.E. at robinson's galleria

finally, after 10 years of waiting for the our phone and internet to be fixed, digitel finally took action of our complaint. damn! they were so slow of responding to our needs. anyways, its fixed now. i can finally have time to surf the internet and put up blogs on my site.

today, i went to see miguel escueta perform at robsinson's galleria. but before that, i'll share to you the details of what happened before i even arrived at robinson's galleria. okay, i'll start. i was watching ugly betty because i couldn't do anything at home but to watch all the american shows that my sisters downloaded. so in short, all i did was have a marathon extravaganza of all the shows. anyways, i'm not done watching yet. after finishing episode 15 of ugly betty, i decided to stop for the day. then, i took a bath and put on some clothes. i was waiting for this day to come. i can't take another boring day at home.

then, i rode the tricycle from our street to the gates of our subdivision. then, i rode the jeepney going to junction where i would ride a bus going to robinson's galleria. in the jeepney, i didn't really mind the other passengers because i was too excited and it was the first time for me going to robinson's galleria without anybody. there were 3 guys in the jeepney and they were wearing white uniforms and i'm guessing they're from san beda manila because i saw one of them with a beda bag. i like boys so what, i don't know why. hehe :)

i walked the streets of junction where i found a bus going to robinson's but it was a long time for me to be able to find a bus going to that direction. okay, so i finally got inside the bus and i seated myself where there were available spaces. i seated myself in the three person seat. i was getting really pissed at the old guy seated in front of me because the sun was so bright and it was almost blinding me. i don't know if he can't feel that but i can because i couldn't even look straight. so, i just adjusted the curtains on my part. then, there was this guy who sat next to me but i didn't mind him because he's not handsome. haha :)

before i even seated myself, i saw two boys (they're friends and not gay) who was kinda good looking. so, one of the guys took off first. then, his friend who was better looking sat next to me. i thought he was gonna took off first but he didn't. i was really shocked that he sat next to me. then, i realized that the space between us was getting smaller and smaller and he was brushing his arms onto my arms (what! that was major.) i couldn't even make the tiniest bit of sound because i was having difficulty of breathing. good thing i didn't suffocate. i was enjoying the moment. haha :) i was really hoping that he would ask my name or my number but he didn't. okay, so he was sending all those signs but nothing happened. damn! i was so disappointed. as i've said so, i just enjoyed the moment. he was really handsome, if you could have just seen him. i don't know why he didn't ask anything.

we finally arrived at my destination, robinson's galleria, but nothing happened. he looked at me before i got off the bus. i thought for a second that he wouldn't let me out because he had this huge bag with him and he was occupying all the space. and when i got off the bus. i was ranting to myself because i didn't do anything. but, i was able to breathe normally again. so, i went inside robinson's galleria but i didn't see anyone from the migsters except for jobelle. i knew it was her but i just made sure it was her before approaching her. so, we talked a little because we're not yet that close. then, keshia arrived and we went inside the activity area. we were seated right in front of the speakers. it was so loud. diane, diana and lucky then arrived.

at first they didn't went in but after some songs, they decided to go in with one of their friend. miguel looked at us, the listers. i'll tell you, he's really gotten so handsome. haha :) you might think that i'm addicted but yeah, i think i am but not in a crazy way. haha :) oh my gosh! andie, i know you'll read this. miguel escueta mentioned all of our names, the listers, and i was the first one he mentioned. i was so shocked. haha :) jeng and roy wasn't there because they went with their other band. it was a good show. i had fun though there was this insect that got into my pants but it didn't hurt me. thanks to keshia who helped removing the insect from my pants.

it was autograph time for miguel and his other fans besides us. andie, the mailing list moderator approached us. at first she talked to the ones she knew way back but when i was introduced to her, she remembered me because she is my friend on multiply and she often reads my blog with regards to M.E. we had few talks and she was really nice and pretty too (it's true andie!) i've said it so many times already. thanks for sharing that thing we talked about (you know what that is). we took a photo together.

that's andie on the picture. so, after all the other fans had finished, it was our moment to go up the stage and take some pictures with miguel and juni. i got another high five from miguel. haha :) thanks for that but the essence went away already because i washed my hands when i got home. it was really fun being with the other listers. i also had a picture with juni and it was really nice. they were so nice.

well, that was my day. meeting miguel and juni again as well as andie and the listers. thanks for the good time. i really had fun today. anyways, i still don't believe what the others told me that it would be their last gig to watch. i still have to find out the reason why. rock on!

meeting miguel escueta/grand return demo

i will start first with what happened when i met miguel escueta. it was a saturday, and as usual, i have classes even on weekends. i really wanted to go to robinson's metro east for the sake of seeing miguel escueta and its been a while since the last time i saw him. anyways, i had to hurry to get out of my school just to catch miguel at robinson's. i walked really fast which made me feel really tired. i was panting and grasping for breath.

finally, when i arrived at robinson's, miguel and his band was still there. i was really happy and it almost made me cry. i ran towards the escalator. i was really happy to see him again, i just can't believe what i had to do just to watch him. i bought the repackaged album I am ME: Amplified. i finally get to have a copy since i can't find it in some malls that i've been to. i found myself a seat in the fourth row. i took some pictures and videos since that was what i really wanted.

good thing that their bassist was late that's why i got to see more of miguel and the band. i felt really awkward during that time because i didn't have any company and had to sit alone. on the other side, i knew that those who were noisy were the other listers of the mailing list. then finally, their bassist arrived and started playing real music. they had to play acoustic songs while waiting for the bassist. i didn't get to start the show but it was worth the while. i was really overwhelmed.

after finishing all set of songs, ME had an autograph session and picture taking session with the other fans. as for me, i approached the other listers so that i could introduce myself and be known to them. i'm really happy that they are all very nice and i'm happy to have met all of them. afterwards, i also had my fair share of having my copy of the album autographed. i also took a picture with miguel and i also got to chat with him for a while. i can't explain my happiness during that time. when i was smiling for the camera, my mouth was shaking like crazy.

after the autograph session, i joined in with the group while we waited for miguel to finish his business backstage. i am so glad to have met new friends. we took a group picture with miguel on the stage. wow! what a day for me. i was really happy that i get to watch him again. after some time, their service arrived and had to leave. we, the listers also had to go our separate ways because we need to go home. i was with paw and her friend when we waited for a jeepney.

it was nice meeting all of them especially miguel. its been a while and i hope to see more of him and the listers.

grand return demo. yesterday, september 29, 2008, we had our grand return demo for the first semester, school year 2008-2009. i got the chance to study but i was still nervous and didn't think that i could still remember all the procedures i've studied. when i woke up, while eating my breakfast, i was watching the new season of the amazing grace. i wish someday that i could also got to the different places i want to visit. afterwards, i washed the dishes and proceeded with studying but i still can't get focused.

when i arrived at school, i still studied but just doesn't seem to get focused with what i'm studying. i was really nervous until the time we were outside the lah nal 2nd. while waiting, we picked our number so that we would know where we would perform the ret dem. i also saw the person that i really love seeing. maybe, he inspired me to not be nervous and to do good. i was so happy to see him.

then, it was the moment of truth. it was time for us to perform the grand ret dem. i proceeded to the cubicle # that i picked. when i was about to go up, i knew already who was going to be my clinical instructor. i almost cried because of shock that the clinical instructor assigned to the cubicle was our adviser. then, we picked the procedure we were about to perform. i picked the adult physical assessment and adding medication by intravenous piggyback. i chatted with my clinical instructor for a while, then we heard the second buzz signaling the start of the ret dem proper.

i first started with the physical assessment since i've done it before. i was really confident while performing the procedure but there were times that i forgot some steps. after finishing with the physical assessment, i proceeded with the intravenous piggyback. i warned my clinical instructor that i didn't study the procedure but she told me that i can do it. when i was done, i did the aftercare. i also signed the checklist where my grade was. i was really surprised with my grade especially with the intravenous piggyback.

adult physical assessment = 1.0
intravenous piggyback =1.25
average = 1.0

i was really happy about my grade since the clinical instructor was so nice. she knows me because she handled us during our finals hospital duty, adult physical assessment and since i'm the secretary of the class that i have to make the minutes of the homeroom meeting. she was like an angel that came down from heaven. when i was done, we did some chatting and waited for the time to finish.

over all, i had a wonderful day. san beda won the NCAA championship (haha :), what's the connection?!). they were really noisy outside of mendiola and they had to close mendiola for san beda. congratulations! that was my day!

walang kwentang post

after the passing of the community case study requirements, hindi muna ako masyado nakapag internet dahil ang drama ko ay busy busyhan. ayon, busy sa school kaya hindi makalabas ng bahay. nung sunday, pumunta kami sa robinson's galleria para maglibot at bumili ng mga unexpected na bagay. buti na lang nakauwi kami ng maaga at napanood ko pa yung final four games sa uaap.
i'm so happy na la salle at ateneo ang maglalaban sa finals. haha :) ano kaya ang mangyayari? good na lang sa both teams. then, this week, we had our hospital duty at perpetual succor, espana, manila. 6am-2pm yung shift namin. ang saya ko dahil nakita for 2 days yung taong inaasam-asam kong makita. alam na ng mga kagrupo ko sa RLE kung sino yun. haha :) napakasaya ko talaga at hindi naman obvious ang kasiyahan ko nung mga panahon na yun.
nakakapagod din pala ang nakaupo lang. pano naman kasi wala masyadong patient kaya nagkwentuhan lang kami. kung meron mang kami ginawa, yun ay ang walang kamatayang vital signs, interview, kumain at oral cnp. masaya naman yung duty kasi ang bait ng C.I. namin. on the second day, nag pictorial pa kami. haha :) grabe, napakainit na ng panahon. lalo pa't nakapink gown kami nung nag duty.
ayon, gawaan na naman ng cnp. pahirapan na naman sa pag-iisip at pasakitan ng kamay sa pagsusulat. ay, oo nga pala. nahihilig na ulit ako ngayon manood ng mga shows sa abs-cbn lalo na yung sa primetime bida. simula i love betty la fea hanggang 3 dads with 1 mommy. ang gwapo ni john lloyd sa i love betty la fea. haha :) mas matimbang na siya ngayon kesa kay dennis trillo. dun naman sa iisa pa lamang, wala lang, naiintriga ako. tapos yung kahit isang saglit, ewan ko, na amaze lang ako. syempre, yung last, yung koreanovela. ang gwapo kasi nung mga lalaki eh. haha :) whatever!
anyways, hindi ko na kaya dahil inaantok na ulit ako kahit napakahaba ng tulog ko kanina. pag uwi ko galing duty, nagpalit lang ako ng damit, tulog na ko. ang sarap matulog lalo na't 2 hours lang yung tulog mo the other day. sige, bye :)

activties for the day

well, today, i started my day by waking up late in the morning. eating 2 pieces of gardenia bread with cheese wiz as my palaman. i also ate, cadburry caramel chocolate. i also surfed the net for nothing unusual. the usual site where i go to are: friendster, multiply, justjared, blogger, live journal and crunchyroll. just checking if there's something new.
just today, i learned that it was the day for the 2008 samsung cheerdance competition. so, i watched it on studio 23. just before that, i watched the latter end of the garfield 2 movie. the cat was so cute :) then, the cheerdance started. i wasn't that bored at all but i didn't watch the NU pep squad perform because i was watching "apocalypto" on star movies. i think that all the teams are getting better and better each year.
damn! late na ko sa balita. pano ba naman kasi ang dami kong ginagawa. hindi na rin ako masyado nakakanood ng UAAP men's basketball. wala na din ako alam sa mga players this season. usually kasi, ang dami kong nalalaman tungkol sa kanila lalo na yung sa mga gwapo. haha :) ayon, obvoius naman na UP ulet mananalo kasi simula pa lang maganda na. kaso nga lang ang una kong napansin sa kanila is mukhang mga lalaki yung mga cheerleader na girls kasi ang ikli ng mga hair nila.
after the cheerdance, i continued on watching apocalypto. i remembered how much i love watching that movie. ang galing kasi eh. how one man battled all his enemies by himself. tapos ilang araw pa siyang tumakbo para lang maligtas yung buhay niya at nang kanyang pamilya. ayon, super na amaze talaga ko sa movie na yun. nanood din ako ng "borat" kaso nga lang nawalan ako ng gana kasi hindi ko naman nasimulan. 3rd movie i watched for the day is "the gravedancers". ayon, okay naman yung movie. natakot ako don sa ibang scenes, napasigaw pa nga ako eh. haha :)
for our dinner, we once again had the kare-kare leftover from our lucnh. ang dami pa kasing natira dun sa niluto ni mama kaya hindi na siya nagluto for dinner. okay lang naman mag-ulit ng ulam as long as masarap. ayon, puro gulay kinain ko. 4th movie that i watched was "camp rock" on disney channel. napanood ko na siya befor kasi yung kapatid ko atat panoorin kaya nagdownload siya sa internet. grabe, mahal ko na ang jonas brothers. haha :) maganda naman yung movie and also the soundtrack. watch out nga pala sa video ng "this is me" by julianne and miguel escueta. parang sila yung filipino version ni nikki gil sa high school musical. actually, the song can now be heard on local radio stations.
so, for this day, all i did was watch movies to satisy my viewing pleasure and for me to have something to do. nakakaboring kasi kapag wala kang ginagawa eh. until then, i'll return after a few days because it will once again be our community immersion on tuesday and wednesday. take care everyone! :)

hindi ko napanood si miguel escueta sa sm marikina

grabe! nalulungkot talaga ako. hindi ko napanood si miguel escueta sa opening ng SM marikina ngayon. pano ba naman kasi?! akala ko nung thursday din yung exam namin sa english tapos biglang naging friday. e di sana half day lang kami ngayon kahit hindi ako pumasok ng pol. sci. kasi nagbigay lang naman ng grades for midterms yung prof namin.
ang tagal tagal ko nang hindi siya nakikita magperform. kasi naman ang mga venues ng gigs niya is pangsosyal. hindi ko mareach ang level niya. meron nga malapit kaso nga lang hindi talaga nakikisama yung schedule ng class ko e. ayan tuloy, sobrang lungkot ko. kanina ngang break, kinakanta ko na lang yung mga kanta niya eh. kawawa naman ako. hanggang message lang ako sa kanya sa yahoo groups.
anyways, sabi ko nga sa sarili ko, hindi pa naman yun ang huli eh. madami pa siyang gigs na pwede kong mapantuhan. hay... nakakainis talaga. pero siguro buti na rin at hindi ako tumuloy sa SM kasi super dami ng tao. leche! muntikan na naman kami walang masakyan na jeep nung friend ko. sa LRT kitang-kita mo yung dami ng tao sa over pass pa lang. tapos super traffic pa. next time na lang kami pupunta don kapag medyo matagal-tagal na. hindi pa rin ako nakaka-get over sa hindi ko napanood si miguel escueta.

exams, exams, exams

grabe! ayoko na mag-isip at mag-aral pa para sa exams. hayaan na ang stock knowledge kung meron pa. ilang araw na akong nagsasagot ng exams. last day na bukas at yun ay english. kamusta naman diba? sana pasado lahat ng exmas ko para masaya. buong week ata ang schedule ng exam namin eh. syempre sa mga major subjects nag-aral ako (aral ba o basa lang?!). nakakatamad na kasi mag-aral eh. buti na lang at nauso ang rationalization. kung wala yun, wala na siguro ako masasagot sa mga exams namin. at ganon na nga ang nangyari sa akin nung exams. buti na lang tanda ko pala lahat ng rationalization.
medyo madali naman yung exam dun sa iba naming major subjects pero yung iba nose bleed pa din. kailan kaya matatapos ang paghihirap ko? makapanood na nga lang ng kung anu-ano. ano naman kaya ang papanoorin ko? hindi ko rin alam. soundtrip na lang muna ako ng eraserheads anthology. ilang araw na akong puro eraserheads lang ang pinakikinggan pero hindi pa rin ako nagsasawa. ganon talaga ang epekto kapag maganda yung naririnig mo. naalala ko tuloy yung grade school days ko nung sila yung sikat na banda nung mga 80s and 90s. astig kasi sila eh.
anyways, last na exam na bukas kaya pagtiisan na lang. sana pumasa ako ngayong midterms. ayoko nga makatanggap ng letter. siningit ko lang 'tong blog na 'to kaya kahit papano masaya na ko. yun lang. good night! :)

zettai kareshi

zettai kareshi or absolute boyfriend is a japanese manga created by watase yu. fuji tv released a live action which stars mokomichi hayami as tenjo night, a robot lover which was controlled by the program installed inside him but then eventually took a mind of its own. aibu saki as izawa riko, an aspiring pastry chef who bought tenjo night as her ideal lover but eventually falls for him. mizushima hiro as asamoto soushi, riko's boss who fell in love with her but cannot win her heart because of tenjo night.
eventually, this drama is a love triangle between night, riko and soushi. i so love this drama. i watched it on crunchy roll because there is a problem with our dvd player in the computer. anyways, i didn't really had the mood to watch this drama but since there's nothing good to watch, i tired watching it. i fell in love easily with this drama because it is a comedy-romance drama.

SPOILER AHEAD!

there were some really funny scenes in the drama but there were also those really sad that you will definitely cry because i did :'( you'll now more if you watch the drama for those japenese drama lovers. anyways, towards the last episode i did cry really hard because it was just so sad. i mean, why does night have to shut down when he and riko were in the midst of their loving relationship? well, i guess it can't be helped when you're a robot and you have to cease functioning eventually.
i felt bad for soushi though. riko can't love him back because she chose night. what's really sad is that night wrote a letter to soushi saying that he should take care of riko for night. also, what i remember is that when night said that he will look over riko from above though he's a robot (wah! the tears are welling up in my eyes again!!!) i also love mr. namikiri, night's savior who always repair him and believed in riko and night's love for one another.

in short, I SO LOVE THIS DRAMA. too much spoiler. hehe :)

classes suspended

today, all classes in manila was cancelled due to the rain and some parts in manila were already flooded. during the morning, the rain was pouring hard but i still arrive at school in time for the quiz to start. we had 2 quizzes, one for community and the other was for the skills. we had the rationalization of the quiz for community and thank goodness i passed. we had our oral revalida orientation with our clinical coordinator. after that, we had our break and during that span of time, all classes were suspended. except for us because we still have to finish the grand return demo orientation.
after the break, we went back to lah nal 2nd and had our grand return demo orientation. there are lots of things to prepare and we really have to study because we don't know what procedures we are to perform. God, help all the level 3 nursing students. guide us during that day and we'll do our very best to pass. good luck to all Level 3 BSN students.

a very special love

Category:	Movies
Genre:	Romantic Comedy

omg! another filipino movie i've watched. its so funny because i don't just watch any random tagalog movies. piling-pili lang yung mga pinapanood kong tagalog movie. kahit sabihin pa ng mga kaibigan ko na maganada yung movie.
anyway, this time, me and my friend decided to watch a tagalog movie just for us to unwind..hehe :) so, we watched a ver special love starring john lloyd cruz and sarah geronimo. grabe, one thing i could say is john lloyd cruz is so hot! ang gwapo niya!!! ang galing pang umarte..haha :) anyways, magaling din si sarah dun sa movie.
i find the movie really nice. the story is nice, acting was good and it was good. there were some touching scenes in the movie and the NG scenes made me so kilig dahil ang gwapo ni john lloyd. yun lang :)

return demo part 2

august 12, 2008. return demo part 2. lah nal 2. i didn't arrive early as i would have expected but i arrived at school when it was about time for me to perform the return demo. i immediately went to lah nal 2 and went inside. i went to the c.r. because i need to pee for our heat and acetic acid test, benedict's test and urine collection. anyways, i filled all of the bottle. after that, i went back inside the nal and went to the cubicle where out group was assigned.
it was time for me to perform the return demo. i didn't feel nervous at all because i was able to study. but during the actual return demo, the clinical instructor slowed me down a little bit. anyways, i didn't have any problem with the clinical instructor. she was nice to me and that was a good thing. after that, i saw my grades and went out of the nal. she told me to come back again after the last student because i will perform the leopold's maneuver which i wasn't able to finish yesterday. so, i waited for my time to come. when it was about time, i went up the nal and waited for the time.
i was so glad that she allowed me to perform the leopold's maneuver but i was only given 3 minutes but that's okay. i was able to finish steps 1-3 and my grade was good. it was also a good thing that she allowed me to perform the leopold's maneuver because, somehow, it raised my total average for the return demo. ret dem is over! yeah! grand return demo is next. good luck to all of us.

day 1 of return demo

august 11, 2008. day 1, return demo. it was the first day of our return demo for the midterms. for our group Q2, we have to do set a which includes the leopold's maneuver, administering an enema, breastfeeding technique and care of the breast. our clinical instructor was ma'am pantaleon.
i had already experienced performing return demo to her because during our summer, she also handled our group. anyways, good thing i arrived early at school before it was my time to perform. i really didn't study at all. i studied on the morning i woke up. i don't know why but my mind just can't process what i was reading last night. i didn't have the urge to study at all.
anyways, it was time for me to perform the return demo. i wasn't nervous at all because i know our clinical instructor is kind during return demo. anyways, during the time i was performing the clinical instructor asked me a lot of questions that i wasn't able to proceed with the next procedure. i finished okay and my grades were okay. i just need to study for our quizzes. haha :) i still have to perform set b tomorrow so i need to study.

publico @ blue whale

august 9, 2008. eto na naman kami ni dana. i was supposed to go to join the club lister's night at eastwood city, libis but then i don't have anyone to go with me. then, dana told me that publico has a gig at tiendesitas care of ate teta. actually, i already saw their gig sched at their yahoo groups but i forgot.
so, nung sinabi sakin ni dana natuwa naman ako. hindi pa kasi ako masyado nakaka-get over dun sa previous gig nila. nahiya nga ako dun sa classmate ko na gustong sumama sa eastwood kasi nandon yung sponge cola. si dana pupunta din dapat dun sa birthday nung isa naming classmate kaso hindi siya pumunta dahil... sikreto.. hehe :) so, sumabay na kame sa mga classmates namin na lumabas ng ceu. medyo nahirapan kami ni dana maghanap ng masasakyan na fx kaya pumunta kami dun sa gilid ng ceu na may terminal ng fx.
nagtanong kami kung dadaan yung fx sa may tiendesitas, sabi hindi daw kaya naghanap kami ng ibang masasakyan. e wala talagang fx na dumadaan so we decided na mag bus na lang kami. buti na lang may g-liner na nakatigil a tapat namin na papuntang cainta. sabi ko kay dana pwede yun kasi dumadaan talaga siya ng tiendesitas. so, during our travel, si dana naninibago sa kanyang mga nakikita. grabe, nakakhilo talagang sumakay sa bus, ang dami pang tao. nung malapit na kami sa tiendesitas, lumapit na kami ni dana sa harap para hindi masyadong hassle sa ibang tao. grabe, pahirapan kami ni dana lumabas dun sa bus. super sikip nung daanan sa gitna.
after namin makababa, nakahinga din kami ng maluwag. at yun na nga, naglakad na kami papuntang blue whale. mas nauna kami dumating kaya nagliwaliw muna kami ni dana. natuwa kami masyado dun sa mga rides sa labas ng blue whale. after non, pumasok na kami kasi nandun na pala sila nakaup lang. hindi ko sila nakita nung una sumilip ako kasi akala ko hindi sila yung nakita. then, nakiupo kami sa kanila. kwentuhan at nakinig lang kmai ni dana sa kanyang zen habang hinihintay na magperform and publico.
finally, na start na din sila tumugtog. lumapit kami ni dana sa harap para mas malapit ang view. ako din pala ang naging photographer at videographer nila nung gabing yun. sabi kasi ni ate teta videohan ko sila kaya ginawa ko. syempre, kasiyahan ko din na gawin yun noh. it was my pleasure! medyo dumami ng konti yung tao nung sila na yung tumugtog. ang ganda ng tunog nila kahit acoustic. astig! ayun, after nilang tumugtog, umuwi na kami. dapat babalik pa kami ni dana sa robisnson's galeria para sumakay ng bus pero nagulat kami pinasakay nila kami sa car ni dane. thanks nga pala!
habang nasa kotse, pinatugtog nila yung mga songs ng kanilang banda. super laugh trip! ang kulit nila. natutuwa naman ako at hinatid nila kami sa sakayan. dane! haha..^^ nahuli mo ko. bakit ba?! gusto ko pumalakpak din eh.. haha..^^ anyways, salamat sa paghatid sakin sa gateway. medyo malayo pa yung nilakad ko pero ok lang. buti na lang bukas pa yung terminal ng jeep. nakauwi naman ako ng safe.
salamat ulit sa inyo. ate teta, lui, badong, farley, dane at agnet. sa uulitin! :)

i'm back from our community immersion

hello everyone! i'm back after a long absence. i've been to our community immersion for three days at poblacion 4, laurel, batangas. at first i thought that our immersion wouldn't be able to push through because of the bad weather. anyways, it still pushed through and we still went to batangas for our 3-day community immersion.
august 4, 2008. good thing i wasn't late for our assembly time at park and ride. i arrived early and there were still others who weren't there yet.anyways, we had our usual inspection of chn bags and the usual. after doing so, we rode the bus. when we were completed, it was time for us to go. we first had our prayer then it was time for us to enjoy the long ride. we watched the movie "when love begins" starring aga muhlach and anne curtis. i actually don't watch tagalog movies but since it was being shown in the bus, i can't help but watch the movie. anne curtis is really pretty and i like her better now than before. she is very liberated in the movie.
we had our market time at sto. tomas market because a lot of students weren't satisfied with the meat and goods that is being sold at laurel market. after the marketing time, we continued to watch the movie. for me, the movie was okay. it is the typical filipino movie which is very predictable at the end. after the movie has finished, i decided that i wanted to sleep. good thing the bus driver didn't drive so fast. though it wasn't comfortable sleeping in the bus, i still had a good sleep.
finally, we arrived at laurel, batangas. we first dropped off those who were assigned to poblacion 2 those were the group Q and Q1. after they were dropped off, it was time for us to get off the bus. our clinical instructors gave their instructions and then we headed towards our foster parents home. our foster parents still remembered us and they once again welcomed us into their home. we arranged our things in the room given to us and we set our food provisions in their kitchen. we cooked our lunch because we were very much hungry. we had a lot of time left before we meet again at the barangay hall.
after eating our lunch, we took a rest and had a good silent time. when it was almost 2pm, we went to the barangay hall for our assembly time. after that, we went to look for prenatal and postpartal patients in which we should assess. each pair of students were given their respective patients to assess. ours was a postpartal patient meaning she already gave birth. good thing because we didn't have a lot to do. after the assessment, we went back to get the fliers and distribute it to the people living in the community to go to our program implementation.
while giving out the fliers, the rain poured down and it was really hard and the wind was so strong. one of the homeowners at the place allowed us to stay in their house after the rain has eventually stopped. after it has stopped at some time, we went back to our house to cook our dinner. the usual, we ate our dinner, joanna and i watched the television and we had a chat before we went to sleep.
august 5, 2008. it was the second day of our community immersion. it was raining so hard during the early hour in the morning. we all thought that it wouldn't stop but good thing it did. we had our dry run in the morning for our program implementation. we did what we had to do including setting the arrangements, putting up the posters, practiced our role play and dance number and presented our health teaching. it finished at about 11:30am so, we went back to our respective houses t cook our lunch and prepare for the program implementation.
we changed to our chn uniform and went back to the barangay hall. our group was tasked to call the people to already go to the barangay hall for our program implementation. by the time we got back, there weren't any people yet and after the time has passed, people started pouring in. our visitors were already there and a lot of people cam including the elderly, children and the men. then, we started our program implementation. though it was hot in the venue, it still pushed through. i just hope that we had a successful program this time.
after the implementation, we became part people and took pictures at the behind the beautiful scenery. we danced to the music of the ipod. when our clinical instructors came back, we had our quiz. after arranging all the things, we went back to our house. we cooked dinner for our foster parents and we prepared some things for our little party at the barangay hall courtesy of our clinical instructors. at 8pm, we went back to the barangay hall and there were spaghetti, softdrinks, bread and ice cream ready for us to eat.
there, we enjoyed the night, the food and the music. also, our clinical instructors shared to us their experiences and we learned something from them. we also had a scary ghost stories which made my arrector pilli active. after the small party, one by one we were dropped off to our foster parents house. back to our house, before we went so sleep, we finished our learning feedback diary and the peer evaluation so we wouldn't have to cram the next day because there wasn't time for cramming. then, we had a good night sleep.
august 6, 2008. it was time for us to go home. w woke up early because we didn't want to be late and we didn't want to be left alone at batangas. we said goodbye to our foster parents and went to the usual spot where we were dropped off. we were reunited with our other classmates. inside the bus, we watched the movie "my big love" starring toni gonzaga, sam milby and kristine hermosa. i wasn't able to pay much attention to the movie because i felt really dizzy during the whole travel. but i still know what was happening eventhough i fell asleep for a while.
i was able to finish the movie and it was really cute. i liked the movie and got some lesson out of it. :) anyways, we finally arrived at manila. i headed back to school because i had to process my readmission slip for my absence. after that, me and my friends ate at mcdo and went home. when i got back home, i fell asleep for a really long time. i was really tired.
this is all for now. good night everyone! :)

publico's gig

yesterday, august 2, 2008, we had our regular saturday classes. it was so nice waking up in the morning with a very cold weather because of the rain. then, i prepared myself to go to school. it was still raining when i got to lrt santolan station and both my pants and shoes were wet with water.
i thought i was going to be late for our first subject. goo thing, when i arrived in our room, our professor wasn't still there. me and my classmates found out that the faculty has a deliberation of our grades. so, what we did was we ate at mcdonald's because we were hungry. at mcdonald's, me and my friends were having a laugh trip. it was so much fun hanging out with them. afterwards, we went back inside the school just to sit and stare at one another. just kidding! at 2:30pm, we headed to our next class. inside the room, everyone was minding their own business.
our professor finally arrived and she started the discussion for our next lesson. we have such a long time for our subject. she then gave us a 10-point quiz which i hope i passed. after the quiz, we were then dismissed. then, my friend, dana, told me that ate teta invited us to the gig of publico. i was so surprised that i screamed in the hallway of the building we were in. of course, it's publico so i had to go whatever it takes.
i first went to my classmate's house because we practiced for our intermission number in our upcoming community immersion this monday. so, we started to practice at about 6:00 pm and ended 8:30 pm because the lrt was already going to close. good thing that we were able to accomplish something. dana and joanna went to our other classmate's house to just chill and hang out. at about 9:00 pm, we went to pureza station as to which it was our meeting place. i saw once again our classmate louie whom i haven't seen for a while. after saying goodbye to him, we hailed a cab.
good thing there was no traffic and the cab driver drove fast but not that fast that he has to fly the car. we arrived on time at the designated place at timog, lunar escape. publico hasn't started their set so it was a good thing. the first two bands who performed was good especially the second one. i love the voice of the vocalist. they're an all girl band (i don't know because they have one male friend, maybe a substitute). after the two bands, it was publico's turn to shine. i really miss them since i haven't been out and about to other places because of school work. i also met the band plastic balloo (not sure of the spelling). they were really good, i had a good timelistening to their songs and it was really fun. dana, joanna and i had a good time.
then, they told us that publico as another gig at malate so we decided to join them. we went there through badong's car. there in the car were badong, farley, dana, joanna and i. farley was busy listening to dana's zen so the rest of us were having fun chit-chatting. we finally arrived at our destination. we went inside and listened to the bands who performed and we had a god time listening and observing the people there. the people were very nice and they were very accommodating.
after plastic balloo's performance, we decided to leave the place because it was already early in the morning. the band and ate teta decided to drop us off at cubao in which we can ride a transpo that could take us to our home. farley and ate teta accompanied dana and joanna to edsa. then, badong and farley took me in front of araneta center in which i have to ride a jeppney going to cainta.


tagalog na ito! maraming maraming salamat sa bandang publico (farley, badong, lui at dane) at kay ate teta for inviting us to the gig. ang tagal ko na rin hndi sila nakikita kaya pumayag talaga ako sumama nung sinabi ni dana na may gig sila. thanks ate teta for treating us with the entrance fee dun sa gig ng publico sa malate (siguro nilibre mo kami). salamat sa kakulitan ni lui. nag-enjoy ako at kami.. haha..^^ thank you to badong and farley na naghatid sa akin sa sakayan ng jeep. thank you for giving us such a good time kahit na sinabi ni farley na wala daw silang energy non. super i love this band. ang bait niyong lahat. thank you talaga sobra for your concerns. nakauwi naman ako ng safe. nakakainis lang yung manong dun sa jeep feeling naman niya gwapo siya. farley, safe po yung tricycle dito sa subdivision namin kasi halos lahat sila kilala na ako. anyways, hindi ko makakalimutan ang araw na ito. sana marami pang gig ang mapuntahan ko. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

congratulations to all the passers of the june 2008 nursing licensure exam!!!

congratulations to all the passers of the june 2008 nursing licensure exam!!! i'm so proud of all of you. since i'm only in my junior year in college as a nursing student, i hope someday that i would also pass the nursing licensure exam. anyways, everybody in the ceu community especially the college of nursing is so proud of two of the students of ceu who grabbed the 6th and 10th place respectively. i saw the person who was the 10th placer. he visited the school and greeted our dean while we the bsn level 3 were having their dialogue with the dean.
one more thing, i'm so glad that my crush who took the board exam passed. yahoo!!! congrats to him. i immediately visited the inquirer site and searched for his name in hoping that he also passed. and there it was! i saw his name. i was screaming my lungs out at home because i was very happy. haha..^^ that's all for now.

ang buhay nga naman!!

bakit ganon?! napakahirap mabuhay pero kelangan pa din na magpatuloy ang takbo ng buhay. grabe, gusto ko na talaga sumuko minsan lalo na sa course kong nursing pero naiisip ko yung mga taong gustong maging successful ako sa future. hay. ngayon pa lang, simula ng thrid year, gusto ko na sumuko dahil sa napakadami ng kelangan gawin. andyan ang paggawa ng CNP, endless quiz kay dr. valino sa pedia, paggawa ng requirements para sa community immersion, at siyempre, makita ang best friend kong C.I. na nanigaw sa akin.
grabe na talaga. sa susunod hindi ko na pipiliin maging leader kahit anong pilit ang gawin nila sa kin. bakit ba may mga taong ayaw mag-take ng responsibility pero minsan ikaw pa yung sisisihin nila kapag may mali kang nagawa? e di sana sila na lang yung nag volunteer na maging leader sila. okay din naman maging leader kasi may priveleges kang natatanggap pero pag sobrang lagi na lang umaasa sayo yun mga kagrupo mo, abuso na yon. buti na lang hindi ganon yung mga kagrupo ko ngayon except na lang siguro sa isa. minsan pa naman, pag iritable ako, iritable talaga ko. nagiging masungit ako, naninigaw, nagagalit kasi nararamdam ko yung pressure. being a leader is not an easy job. may mga times na hindi mo alam pinag-uusapan ka na ng mga members mo tungkol sa mga hindi nila gusto sayo as their leader.
kanina, habang ginagawa ko yung leaflets namin, naiiyak na ko kasi hindi ko na alam yung gagawin ko. nagkaroon pa ng aksidente sa isa kong kagrupo kaya nag-alala talaga ako. hindi ko man gustuhin na bigyan sila ng madaming trabaho, kelangan pa din kasi kokonti lang kami tapos yung iba hindi pa cooperative. mabait naman ako kung tutuusin e. ako pa nga yung nahihiya mag ask ng favor sa mga kagrupo ko kasi baka isipin nila bakit hindi ko kayang gawin yung pinapagawa ko sa kanila. there's one thing i've learned from being a leader, hindi susunod sayo yung mga kagrupo mo kung hindi ka efficient at hindi ka gagawa ng appropriate actions kung hindi mo pa sila pagsasabihan. you need to give your members constant reminders para hindi sila mawala or maligaw ng landas. magkakaroon din ng conflicts among your group members kasi hindi naman lahat sa kanila pare-pareho ng opinion eh.
bakit ba hanggang ngayon ay gising pa ako? naghihintay na lang ako ng oras na inalarm ko sa cellphone ko. i still need to print the leaflets that i did kaso nga lang its a big disturbance to my mom and my sister kasi maingay yung printer namin. sana matapos na ang prelims para matapos na ang paghihirap ko as a leader. hindi ko naman sinasabi na hindi ako efficient na leader pero alam mo yun, there are still times that you just really wnat to give up kasi you have a lot of things in mind na hindi mo alam kung alin ang uunahin sa kanila.
anyways, hanggang dito na lang ako. sana maintindihan niyo yung post k. masyado akong nainspire mag blog siguro dahil na rin sa nararamdaman ko ngayon. animo la salle pa din kahit natalo sila sa ateneo. hehe..^^ goodmornight!!!

bsn level 3

yahoo! finally, i'm on my 3rd year of college. i have been promoted to bsn level 3 which is such a fulfilling and rewarding thing for me. after so much hardships, misunderstandings, crying and happy times, we, the bs nursing batch 2010 had our capping and pinning ceremony last june 19, 2008 at the philippine international convention center.
the event was such a huge thing for all of us. despite the unfinished name plates and some of the caps were ugly, we still had a successful capping and pinning ceremony. it was such an achievement for all of us because we went through a lot during our second year and summer classes. it was so fun and we were all happy that we were able to be included in the capping and pinning.
now, this is the most crucial level for all of the bsn level 3. with the lecture demo, return demo, hospital duty and community immersion, we must dedicate ourselves to our work and each and everyone must cooperate. so far, we have all been busy because of a lot of things. this is the time to be serious but still, there should be fun and excitement with our lives. you shouldn't just focus too much on studying, you still have to go out and have fun and discover the world..hehe..^^
anyways, i wish i could make it through this first semester and continue up until level 4. i should work harder to achieve my goals. also, i am so happy because i have a lot of inspirations this year. haha..^^ that is why i should be able to do my best.

CONGRATULATIONS TO BS NURSING BATCH 2010 FOR FINALLY BEING PROMOTED TO LEVEL 3 AND FOR THE CAPPING AND PINNING.

fuck this day!!!

I SUPER SUPER HATE THIS DAY! FUCK THIS DAY!!!

tama ba namang sigawan ako ng clinical instructor namin?! kahit kailan, in the history of being a nursing student have i been shouted at by a clinical instructor. ang kapal ng mukha niya para sigawan ako. kahit nga mama ko hindi pa ko sinisigawan ng ganon eh. akala ba niya hindi ako marunong lumaban? pwes, humanda na lang siya pag pumunta ng CEU ang mama ko. subukan lang niya itanggi yung ginawa niya sakin kapag nakaharap na niya si dean. ang dami dami kong witness noh. ang FEELING NIYA!!! nagmamaganda kala naman niya maganda siya. ito ang scenario na nangyari kanina:

clinical instructor: sino secretary ng section Q? (sumisigaw dahil walang nakikinig sa kanya)
students (background): nagtatawanan dahil walang naririnig na sumisigaw?
clinical instructor: sino sabi secretary ng section Q? (sumisigaw pa rin dahil mainit na ang ulo niya at walang nakikinig sa kanya)
students (nagsalita na rin sa wakas): si adelaide po
clinical instructor: sino yun?
adelaide: lumalapit papunta sa clinical instructor. pero bago tuluyang makalapit sa clinical instructor, may nakita siyang ginawa ng C.I. ang C.I ay nag-mouth ng words na PARANG TANGA. akala siguro ng C.I. e hindi nakita ni adelaide pati ng iba nitong mga kaklase.
clinical instructor (to adelaide): bingi ka ba? hindi mo ba ako naririnig? kanina pa ko sigaw ng sigaw dito bakit hindi ka lumalapit?
adelaide: hindi po.
clinical instructor: o nasan na yung minutes of the meeting?
adelaide: wala po eh. pero yung isa po nabigay ko na kay sir________
clinical instructor: hay naku. bahala ka mag explain kay ma'am_______ kung bakit wala yun. pinapainit mo ulo ko.
adelaide: opo. at umalis na papunta sa kanyang upuan para ayusin ang gamit niya.

habang papabalik si adelaide sa kanyang upuan, nag-model model modelan ang nasabing C.I. at nagmouthing of words na naman na akala niya ulit siguro ay hindi nakita ng mga kaklase ni adelaide.

so, wala talagang karapatan ung C.I na yun na sigawan ako. hindi ko pati kasalanan na uminit ang ulo niya bago pa siya magalit sakin. ok lang sana kung ang nanigaw sakin e yung mga kilala kong ganon ang ginagawa kapag mali yung estudyante pero mabait naman sila. hay.. sabi nga ng iba wag ko na daw pansinin yun pero syempre nasaktan ako kaya hindi ko yun palalampasin. hangga't hindi ako nabibigyan ng hustisya, hindi ako titigil. gago pala siya eh. ayun, bahala na si lord sa kanya.

ate's journey to riyadh

today, my oldest sister, went to riyadh, saudi arabia to work as a nurse. it was finally her wish come true to have a job related to the course she took up. she first worked at a call center company then did reviews and trainings. finally, she's now off to a foreign land to give service to others as a nurse.
the whole family went to the airport for support. my mom won't stop crying especially the day before my sister left up until the moment we got back home. we waited until she and her other companions checked-in in the airlines. while waiting, we ate at kfc at the naia international airport. there, we got to chat with each other.
its sad to have one member leave but of course, that day will definitely come since the economy in the philippines is not so good especially when it comes to the salary of workers. my sister was so glad that she was able to find a job. i think she will come back after two years. my mom was the most depressed when ate left. ate's twin was sad but of course she know that she will follow ate because she also wants to work abroad. three of us in the family took up nursing. two are already nurses. and as for me, i still have a long way to go.
who wouldn't miss ate? out of the four siblings, she is the most responsible. of course, i'm gonna miss her but that's just part of life. i hope she stays well and take care of herself while she's away from us. i wish her well with her job. au revoir!!!

the end of summer class

last may 27 marked the end of our summer class. yet, we had to go back to school last may 29 for our evaluation in our rle subject. i was so happy because i got to see my crush yet again. hehe..^^ i'm so glad that summer class is over and we only have to wait for the results for us to know if we will be included in the capping and pinning ceremony which we all can't wait for. i hope that everybody will pass especially the irregulars in our batch. i just can't wait for the capping and pinning because we all worked hard to reach that one goal which is very hard to achieve once you enter ceu.
well, i must say i had fun during our summer class though before it ended, one stupid girl made a mistake of messing with me. hindi niya alam kung sinong kinakalaban niya. anyways, i'll just have to let that pass because she's going to canada. i'm glad that she's leaving and for sure a lot of people will be happy that she's going away to some foreign land. i had a really good summer though i didn't get to spend a lot of time at home. i also enjoyed my summer though we did a lot of things especially with the requirements. we had no sleep just by doing our requirements.
all of our professors during the summer were really nice. they were the nicest people i had known during my stay in ceu. i am so happy that summer has ended. we have to learn yet again new things this coming school year which we will be in our junior year. i just can't wait. only one more year to go.
congratulations to all! hope we all pass..^^

love lost but not found

i'll be on emo mode for now. i'm not usually an emo person but a certain event made me post this blog. i miss posting and because of my busy schedule, the time doesn't permit to do so.

love lost but not found.

i've been looking for that person that will make me feel that i am loved. the one person that i could truly feel the love that i've been looking for. i've already let go of that someone and now i can't seem to bring it back. i should have tried before but i felt that i'm not ready yet. love is a wonderful feeling though there are times that love can hurt. being in love doesn't mean that a guy/girl would have to be with you to satisfy you. there are other people who can do that for you.

perhaps your family, friends, classmates, and relatives can make you feel loved. right now, i feel so contented that eventhough i don't have that special someone, i feel love and experience love in different ways. my family, friends and classmates love me for who i am. i realized that they can satisfy my needs of being loved despite of not having that one person that i wanted. i am so blessed to have those people in my life that i know will never leave me especially in my darkest hour. though i don't get to spend some time with my barkada and friends, i know they still think of me and they still love me despite of my absence.

love lost but not found. i won't say that i am insecure with those who are in a relationship. i know that God has other plans for me. i remember one text message from my friend, it says that God will not give you that person if you're not ready yet. but if you are, he will give it in the right time. i believe that "true love waits" as what one of the motto's of yfc says. be patient. don't hurry in engaging in a relationship if you know you are not ready yet. make sure that if you are in a relationship, you will not be afraid to show who you really are to that person you love.

i'm not so good with love but as what i have heard and observe from others, love is a great feeling. to share with someone your joy, happiness, sadness, anger and even the little things is rewarding. to be able to open up to someone that understands you best is such a wonderful feeling. i am so in love with my life right now. hope i made sense :)

will i pass this summer class?

now is the time for me to wonder if i would be able to pass our summer class for me to be able to join in the capping and pinning ceremony this coming june. well, there are still lots of things to be done this may. more toxic time due to ret dem, hospital duty and other academic subject requirements. i really hope i would pass.. damn! if i fail, all my efforts will be wasted.
anyways, i already know my combined grade in nutrition lec and lab and i passed. i still don't know my grade for ncm 100 combined. i really hope i will pass ncm. just thinking about the ret dem makes me wonder.. hehe..^^ there are a lot of issues right now that determines if i will pass ncm 100. i won't tell what are those issues but most of my classmates know why. especially those who have experienced what we are yet to experience.
there's still approximately 3 weeks left before the end of the summer class. there's still lots of things to be done. i'm just glad that our professors in ncm 100 lecture and nutrition are nice people. they'll help boost up the grades of the students. oh well, a BIG GOOD LUCK to me.. that's all for now. just dropping by..

busy, busy, busy

whew! its been a while since i've posted on my blog. i've been so busy for the past few weeks because of our summer class. though i have time to spare to visit the site that i usually visit, i'm still not able to update my blog. its so frustrating but i have to first prioritize my studies so that i would become an effective nurse in the future.
i miss blogging. but what can i do?! time is so restricted to my studies. i have a lot to say but i just can't post it on my blog. well, i hope that when summer ends, i would be able to post something new. that's all for now..

the days that have passed

okay, so, i've missed a lot of days from posting in my blog. its just that i've been busy because of our summer classes. after i received the news that i passed, i was really happy and spent my day just being a bummer at home. watching dramas, sleeping, eating [i gained weight..awww :c] and surfing the net.
first week of april. i just watched the korean drama "lovers" which is great, by the way. i really loved it and i enjoyed watching the drama. though there were some boring scenes i still loved it. especially the lead characters in the drama as well as some of the supporting cast. the drama, by the way, is being broadcasted at abs-cbn for the filipino viewers. as usual, some of my friends said "nauna ka na naman sa iba". of course, i want to be updated with korean and japaneses dramas as much as possible.
second week of april. i spent my days going to school because all incoming 3rd year students who will have the summer must undergo the pregnancy test and urine analysis. it was a really tiring day for all of us. especially those who came from far places like me. the payment system was not so effective and it was bothersome to go back and forth in school especially because of the hot weather. also, we spent the week for the enrollment for summer. one day is not enough to finish enrollment at ceu except if there are only few who are enrolling. it was really tiresome and disappointing because our section, was disseminated among other sections. with new classmates, we know that it will be hard for us to adjust.
third week of april. start of the summer class. the schedule of our ncm 100 rle is from monday to wednesday. on monday, we had our orientation and they introduced the different clinical instructors that will guide us for the summer semester. i was not in such a good mood that day because i was late. i'm not the kind of person who is not used to being late. because of my moody personality, i will easily get irritated to the person who became the source of me, being late. anyways, we spent just few hours at school and it was dismissal already. the next day, tuesday, we didn't have our rle but i still went to school so that i could have the pregnancy test and urine analysis. when i first entered the clinical laboratory, my bladder was not yet distended and it became my problem. only few of my urine went out and it didn't even reached 1/2 of the bottle.
then, i decided to go see my other classmates who underwent the same process. we ate first our lunch so we would be able to let out our urine for the testing. after eating, we went back inside the school and to the clinical laboratory. we spent few minutes outside then we decided that we felt our bladder were distended. one by one, we went inside the comfort room to pee and put some in the bottle. we were happy during that time because of certain reason. after finishing with the urine sample, we went to C&E bookshop because my other companions bought the books required for us to buy. it was such a hot, scorching day for all of us. we also befriended the nursing student who already graduated from ceu. he was a guy by the way. we then went back to school to get the result but we still waited for a few hours. after getting the result, i went home.
wednesday. traumatizing day ever in my life. the clinical instructors inspected all of us because some students were seen using cellphones. cellphones are strictly prohibited during rle days. we were all nervous because we thought it wouldn't really happen. during the morning session, we had our ncm 100 orientation and the things that we are supposed to do. my gosh, "super dami talaga ng gagawin". hope we survive!
lecture days. we start our lecture days from thursday-saturday. well, our subjects are okay because there's only two. ncm 100 and nutrition. i really appreciate our professors in ncm and nutrition. i do understand the things that they are teaching us. man, the only problem is that i always feel sleepy during our nutrition laboratory.
i am looking forward for our hospital duty orientation but not the return demo..hehe :) anyways, i need to sleep for now. godbless!

emil's despedida

yesterday, april 4, 2008, emil had his despedida because he's going to the states because his father wants him to live there with him. me and josyl went together since were from the same village. we went first to sm taytay because josyl had to look for something which is school-related. we stayed there for quite some time before proceeding to emil's house. we strolled through the mall and paved our way thorugh the many people who were shopping because it was a sale. we decided to eat at mcdonald's becasue we were both hungry. the american and korean boys who were ordering was so annoying. they were naughty and saying bad words all over the place. they didn't even had the decency to say sorry when one of them spilled the coke on the floor.
anyways, while eating, we were telling stories about each other. informing one another of the things that has happened to us. after we ate, we went to golden city and we just walked because it was just a distance away. we saw a lot of former sienans at sm taytay and we didn't even bother to smile or say hi to them. haha..^^ we went to emil's house by tricycle and when we arrived there, our friends hasn't arrived yet. we talked for a while outside. we were kinda surprised because emil and his mother didn't know that there were few people who were coming. when khiara arrived, we went inside the house and chit chat with each other. then, one by one, they started arriving. the food started to flow as well as the drinks.
after some time, there were already numerous people at emil's house. then, we went into the garage to enjoy the moment. we, our berkada, started to have some fun. you know, the usual stuff teenagers do when they know about lots of things. after we felt that we've had enough, we went to emil's room to have a chat. we enjoyed hearing information about our friends whom we didn't get to spend a lot of time before because of the busy schedule. i didn't go home yet because me and josyl were scared. we evacuated and went to khiara's house were we watched good luck chuck. it was a funny movie. after watching, me and josyl went home.
it was so nice to sleep in your own house. i slept at about 6am because i had to wait for someone to open the room because it was locked. anyways, that was my day.
