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! :)
