the drama on things
Mood: forever wondering
everyone just tries to put some drama even on the most superficial things. but i wouldn't do that. real life itself is far too dramatic.  but i've just been wondering... when can a person say that he loves truly? is it when he gets over his immaturity and tries to understand the other? is it when he gives up his pride to make things easier for the other? is it when he throws away self-centeredness and loves a person more than he loves himself?can't love for others conquer self-love? if it can't, then could it be considered genuine love at all? or maybe the real reason why people suffer so much is none other than Love. when people are loved, they tend to expect a lot more than what the person who loves them can give, even forcing them to sacrifice things for them. it's love's fault. love makes people hope. which could lead to disappointments. which lead to despair. cold tears. sorrow. melancholy. you name it. oh but on the other hand, maybe love isn't the culprit at all. it's probably humans who create their own despair. people blame love when they get stabbed and hurt. it's the first explanation they find to answer their misery instead of reflecting on their own actions and faults. people stereotype it as blind, when in fact they are the ones who can't see beyond the cravings of their own ego. love is indeed a much abused word. why does everyone talk about love so much anyway? yeah, like what i'm exactly doing right now and what dozens of daily forwarded text message quotes obviously imply. people make love, like life, too overrated. what's up with love anyway?! what's the big damn deal about it?! well, personally i know why and what. i'm actually just playing stupid. i know why i talk, think and live with it a lot. but i'm afraid my views do not apply to everyone else. no, it's not universal. whatever the answer to that is so subjective that i'm not even giving myself the right to blab one more sentence about this thing so-called love. you answer that for yourself and i'll shut up and keep further opinions to myself coz this post is getting way too cheesy. ok, now that was dramatic. i guess i just contradicted myself again. why do i always end up contradicting myself?! i'm a huge living contradiction. oh but that's another story. 
note: even if this post is so cliche of me, it doesn't have anything to do with all that blablah about my lovelife this time. it's just about people. though i will not disclose their exact identities, i sure do hope and pray they wake up soon. Labels: making sense perya and peanuts

3 down, 5 more to go
Mood: nerdy
God! i'm so glad that sembreak has finally come. it's now time-out from all the fuss and buzz of nursing. thank heavens.. coz if I were to spend another day with all that pressure i swear i'll break down.  err but it's too early to complain. i'm only on my second year. a WHOLE LOT MORE is in store for me for the next two years or so: more work.. more memorizations.. more sleepless nights.. more midnight oil burned.. more anyway, i'll be missing my friends at BSN II-1.. though i should say they're considerably few (i'm still on my anti-social phase, a thing which has been going on for about a year now). btw, last wednesday was our 19th month. hooray.  and it was also the last day of final exams so after the 200-item anatomy test, thony and i headed over to the mall and watched "no reservations" to enjoy our first few hours of sweet freedom. the movie was indeed sweet.. but a little boring. thony actually wanted to watch "resident evil" but i refused. for now, i don't want more terror in my life just yet. anyway, while i was sitting my ass comfortably at the moviehouse, a classmate texted me saying our anatomy instructor needs me to go back to school..! and i was like now what?! ano nanaman kailangan niyo, walangya.. ayoko muna magbalik dun. it turned out that my instructor has enlisted me to join the Mind Fest 2007, an annual quiz bee type of contest for the Nursing Days celebration of our college. there were 11 teams with one freshman, one sophomore, one junior and one senior student each team. i was the sophomore from team Peplau. the contest was held on the 18th, the day after i was informed that i'm actually a participant. i didn't even bother opening any book to review for anything at all. sawa na kong magreview. bahala na yung ka-team kong 3rd and 4th year. hehe.  team Peplau (ryan, ai, zenji and me) didn't get medals but we got Mac Arthur by Bob Ong (at may kasama pang tag price na nagsasabing P100 lang iyon) as consolation price for landing on the 5th place. i was ok with 5th place. at least we weren't eliminated on any of the earlier rounds at nakarating pa kami hanggang sa difficult round. besides, i wasn't even expecting to win at all. i went there with one eye closed. joining mind fest now makes me a bonafide nerd. after the mind fest, i went around the city (literally) with peachy and joan. foodtrip! sa wakas nakakain na rin ako ng chicken mami after days of craving for it! we also saw this carnival at nepo quad which always appears there at around this time of the year. in high school i used to pass by the place everyday on my way to h.f.a. and now i miss that. oww. i think we're going there tonight to try some of the rides. here's a shot.  the three of us also bought some of my favorite isaw at diamond, beside ayban's house. take-out. i bought ten sticks and didn't know who i will eat them with so i texted thony and we ate them at home. ang saya ng gabing iyon. there was something different with the way he whispered "i love you" while we were sitting at the couch after eating. either it's the isaw he ate or true love. haha. we also hugged a lot.  like we always do.what a beautiful way to end a semester. oo nga pala, lumipat ng bahay sina thony. akala ko naman babalik na sila sa manila. ngayon pala sa kabilang kanto lang. ang layo naman.

enough with the bacon
Mood: cross
 waah. ayoko na ng bacon! i've been living on bacon every morning for the past six months just because my bacon-addicted sister won't eat anything for breakfast other than... bacon!  it's all they ever really cook around here for breakfast.the girl's just so in love with pork strips! i used to really like it too.. but even the most sumptuous meal loses its taste when eaten every single day (oh that's with the exception of KFC hot and crispy chicken meal). sometimes i don't even touch my breakfast anymore...  then my sister would see it lying around and she'd ask if she could have my bacon instead. of course i'd generously give it to her because that would save me from being nagged by my mom for skipping breakfast. i'd rather just let my mom think i really was the one who ate it than get scolded.even though i thank God for everyday blessings, i still do hope the menu changes for next semester. i must make an appeal! i kinda miss pancakes. BTW, it's my cousin kuya jay's birthday today. hapee birthday!  Labels: blah 10.09.2007
ang gaga at uto-uto
Mood: smiley
 at 6pm, about an hour after our final exam in c.f.e. today, hinatid ako ni thony sa sakayan ng jeep kasi ako'y uuwi na. oo, ako'y uuwi nang mag-isa.  he has to stay in school a little late because there's this group practice thing which he needs to attend. and so.. after i nagged him about texting me at least once every five minutes and that he should narrate to me every little thing that happens to him on that freakin' group meeting (yes i could be an over-praning pain in the ass girlfriend sometimes, or most times perhaps), we parted ways.true enough, he did text me once every five minutes.. and while i was in the trike (yep i need to ride a tricycle and pay precious 20pesos just to get home) he asked: thony: san ka nah? nsa bahay k n b? ann: dito na co s trike.. xit di co lam kung san aco dinadala ng tricycle driver na 'to!!! thony: ha?! bakit? traffic b kaya kailangan niya mgshortcut? ann: hindi naman traffic eh.. hee.. ntatakot na co.. :( thony: wag ka ngang manakot ng ganyan..!!! totoo ba talaga yan?! i was testing him if he would worry about me and do something even if he's in the middle of a toxic meeting for school. he kept on texting but i didn't reply for several minutes for him to think that something bad really happened. pero pagkatapos ng ilan pang minuto ay nakonsensya na ako. and so, i was about to break it to him and send a message saying "joke lang bliw. haha.. uto-uto!" when suddenly, our home phone rang... ann: hello? thony (while catching his breath): pwede po kay ann???!? ann: hoi! joke lang yun! asan ka? pano ka nakatawag?! thony: walangya ka. kala ko ano nang nangyari! humanap pa ako ng pay phone! ann: hehehe.. i didn't expect him to believe my little prank. it's so not like him. oh well, i guess sometimes people really are uto-uto.  (peace.)anyway, congratulations to thony coz he passed my test. i'll probably give him a 96/100 for that(maybe if he called a little earlier i'd have given him a higher score, hihi). a little while later... ann: ui may nakapasok na magnanakaw sa bahay namin!!! thony: gaga. ann: uto-uto. ciao.

back so soon
Mood: idle
 joke lang pala yung sinabi ko na pagkatapos pa lang ng final exams ako babalik dito, dahil eto nanaman ako. i'm supposed to be reviewing by now already coz it'll be the start of exams tomorrow. but i'm just too lazy to do so. ugh. sloth again. another deadly sin. i really do not have anything sensible to place in here at the moment. i was just dropping by. i'm actually waiting for thony to get home. tagal.  san na kaya siya napadpad?! amfp.btw i'm done with my physical assessment demo. finally! all i had to do was talk for one hour straight, after which my throat felt like there's some kind of drought happening in there. oh well. that's all for now. be back later. gotta get some shut-eye. zzZ.  yet again, i've gone crazy over emoticons.  *poof*Labels: blah one sad story
"Roommates"
Michael invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how beautiful Michael's roommate was. She had long been suspicious of a relationship between Michael and his roommate and this only made her more curious. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Michael and the roommate than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, Michael volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Joanne and I are just roommates." About a week later, Joanne came to Michael and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle," said Joanne. "You don't suppose she took it, do you?". "Well," said Michael, "I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which read: "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Joanne, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with Joanne. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom." ---aw.  touching. story lifted from xoxmariah.com Labels: trip 10.07.2007
emerging from the depths of toxicity
mood: intoxicated
 i'm sorry for the hibernation. i've just been confined in the depths of toxicity for the past week. all my reports, demonstrations, chapter-long tests (which happen on a daily basis anyway) and final reqs were jammed on a single week. now i'm itching to update this freakin' blog of mine. ugh. i missed blogging. so.. quick recap.. sept 22: it was rhej's debut bash at partyland.. rain, peachy, joan, me, and thony (?!) had the makeover session thingy at my room. none of us were pros at putting make-up on but i guess we did well. a little too well actually.. we were like two hours late! shame on us vain people. after the party, we stayed at partyplace for a while.. and had some long beach iced tea. yum.   on our way home, i got my hands on thony's fone and.. (surprise! surprise!) ..found some text messages which should not be there. naku. huling-huli. of course we fought. i forgave him after two days. i hope the dyspnea doesn't have anything to do with the fact that he's back at smoking again.. and he only told me about it after like three days! smoking is okay as long as he doesn't keep it from me and doesn't overdo it. i was supposed to get mad at him but i didn't want to ruin the day further. after the cbc, we met up with my parents and sister. we had to go to candaba coz it's my lola's 81st birthday. i saw samy there. i missed that kid! i also have this other cousin who, before that day, i've never spoken more than a single sentence to.. my whole life... and if not for the fact that he was drunk that day, we would never have had such a long conversation. unbelievably, he was in the mood to talk about his love life. i also attended jen's debut later that night which also happened in candaba. i was included in the 18 treasures part. i gave her a cute pink wristwatch and came up with a pretty good explanation why. here's a snapshot of me at jen's party. the other one's me and a sick chubby guy named thony (peace pare hehe) at mcdonald's  . love the shades. they're actually mine.  by the way, from these pictures, you'll actually see the two zits i've been talking about on my previous post. one's on my forehead and the other's near my left eye. they were so damn ugly. i popped them because i got annoyed. thank goodness they're gone now. Oct 1: for the first time this school year, i was absent. i deliberately absented myself because i fell asleep the night before while i was reviewing for a 17-page-long handout for the physical assessment demo. when i woke up at 5:30 that morning, i was panicking. my class is at 7am and i know nothing of the 17-page handout! and so i decided to skip class with the infamous "dysmenorrhea excuse" (did i spell that right?), even though my period was not in another three weeks. hehe. my instructors bought it anyway. to anyone who goes to the same university as i do, please don't tell anyone.. especially the authorities. this really isn't the typical grade conscious me. oct 4: i attended this talk in school wherein angeles city mayor blueboy nepomuceno was the guest speaker and his honorable presence made me wonder about one thing: why do angeles city mayors look like santa claus? i had to get home early that day coz i had loads of school work to finish. i should've listened when they told me that entering nursing is equivalent to subjecting yourself to a toxic lifestyle. on our way home, thony and i came across this weird "blind" guy with dark shades on and a cane in the jeepney. it was obvious that he was only pretending to be blind. lakas talaga ng trip ng mga tao ngayon. i usually get entertained by people na nakatrip. but i was annoyed by this one. good thing he stayed on board for a few minutes only, pretending he hopped on the wrong jeepney being "blind". oct 5: it was demo speech day in english. we had to choose any topic and show to the class, for five minutes, how it's done. my topic was about dealing with dry hair. i could've chosen something else more interesting but i didn't have much time to think coz i have loads of other things to think about. anyway, my hair model was none other than tin, my sister. i am so surprised and grateful that she agreed to do it even though i had to put fresh eggs and stinky mayonnaise all over her hair in front of a crowd of sophomore students. i got a 95 over a hundred for it. thank God for a sister who doesn't mind mayonnaise on her hair! of course she shampooed frantically afterwards.  i also attended the honors' society meeting later that afternoon. bakit ngayon ko lang nalaman na may "honors' society" at member pala ako nito?! mind you, sosyal 'tong org na 'to coz almost all our advisers were cum laudes, board topnotchers and TOS awardees. anyway, they told us we're getting honsoc t-shirts. nice. something to brag about eh?! but that's not what interested me most. one small cute fat adviser of the said organization mentioned that there's going to be this press conference thing for nursing students.. i'd like to join.  i miss writing.my mom bought some i had a terrible dream last night. i was holding one of our pet fishes with my bare hands! it was alive. and it's uncooked! i eat fish when they're cooked but i hate them when they're still moving and out of the water. they look creepy and slimy. anyway, i threw it onto the floor in disgust... and suddenly.. more angry fish appeared on the floor.. and they were creeping towards me! they were attacking me! and then i woke up. i was going to type in more things here but i just can't remember what else happened to me. besides, i've got mooore scheduled school work for today. i'll probably be blogging again after our final exams which will end wednesday next, next week. gotta go. i think my dad's making lasagna again coz it's the weekend. he's been cooking a lot ever since our maid never came back from her vacation. my dad's really good at it, i swear. if you want some you can come by the house some time.. he makes the best lasagna, tacos and steak! makes me want to stay home more often.  ow. another lazy sunday. ciao.
