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
