i write
(edited)
I've been sitting here for the past hour with a blank brain. I really wanna write. But what am I to write about?!  I used to be the kid who wrote about everything. Yeah from high school intrams t-shirts which everyone makes a big fuss about... to the very first time I, all scared and anxious, shaved my legs without telling my mom... to the neighbors' dog who made it a point and a daily habit to poo in front of our house instead  . The stacks of notebooks (whose covers were adorned with collages of whatever my attitude or interest is for a certain phase) hidden away in my closet told my story. The story of every era in my not-so-complicated life. The story of different personalities colliding into one. A story which is yet to end and to be completed (if I'm destined for a longer life that is, and I'm well hoping for that!). I used to believe I was born to write. Writing, for me, has always been a refuge during angry days and a loyal pal throughout felicitous moments . If I wasn't taught how to use a pencil in elementary, I'd probably be mentally challenged by now. It's an outlet of emotions not only for me, but I'm sure for millions of others. It's a way of life. Or maybe a passion. It's innate in most human beings. But now I'm just too busy with other things. I guess I've changed. People change. It's one truth about life that could sometimes be sad, but that which is inevitable.  But don't get me wrong. I'm relatively contented with the way things are going for me and I'm grateful for every blessing that God continuously shoves at my path. It's just that sometimes, people need to do certain things that would make them feel more like themselves. It's part of the quest for self-actualization or something else or whatever. You could ask Abraham Maslow about that.
Ok that's a start. And that felt good.  Labels: blah, making sense 3.22.2008
something new
haha. got a new layout.
 i'm still working on it.. and I don't really have much time right now. finals is on Monday and I'm not even halfway through the 48 handouts!  got..to..get..away..from..pc! be back in a few days! err.. or maybe a little later.. ciao.  Labels: blah 3.19.2008
2 years and still running.
Last 03.17.08 was me and thony's 2nd anniversary.
 We thought of doing something new.. something we've never done before.. and so we went shopping in divisoria! weee... 'Twas my first time to go there and I'm glad it was with him. Yay! I felt a little guilty buying so much stuff all in one day so I didn't spend all my money.. But i still can't believe that the 3,000 pesos I consumed went such a long looong way.. damn I'm definitely going back to DV! I even got to buy pasalubong for my dad, mom and Tin.The only thing we hated were the icky  muddy streets we had to walk on.. it rained sometime in the afternoon that's why. I felt like throwing up all throughout the bus ride (as always) coz of the air freshener (which I've hated since the day I was born ), but I nevertheless of course loved the experience. We also got lost a little but found our way afterwards. Oh well, getting lost was kind of fun anyway. lol. On the way home, we watched the orange sun set behind the mountains... and then I was happy. Just like that.  'Twas yet another first for us. And there'll definitely be more in the future. Stay tuned for more of the adventures of Ann and Thony. **** Woke up earlier than usual today. Made a large tumbler of iced coffee.  It's been a while since I had coffee coz my mum won't buy cream. Was about to go back upstairs, watch cable or turn the PC on and go online like I always do but then I had a glimpse of the garden outside and decided to sip my coffee and sit under the large green umbrella there instead. The morning was really cool and quiet.. Gave me a chance to clear my head. And I was like "why the hell don't I do this more often?!".Anyway, I can't believe I'm still not starting to review for final exams. Just the thought of it gives me shivers..  hihihi.. BTW, because it's Holy Week, as is our family tradition, we're going to see the "magdarame" later (or whatever they officially call themselves).. can't wait!That's all for now.. Yipee my emoticons are back!  P.S. You won't ever hear (or read rather) me say anything about the upcoming summer vacation.. err.. coz I'm not one of the lucky people who will be having it. It's the start of our batch's summer classes so byebye to 2-month-long vacations for me.. Screw Nursing! (hehe joke lang ung screwing part.. baka makarma.) ciao.

not another long post

You'll have to refresh the page coz it'd be a little distorted at first.:) **** A really big WHOA! I can't believe I actually got past that week! I'm not sure there are even words to describe what I just went through. 'Twas a myriad of emotions. Ok this is again about the CDX thing. And I assure you that this won't be the last post I'll be doing about it coz there are more CDXs that I'll be doing in my life. We've only just begun. Monday. I can't remember what happened so let's just skip that. Tuesday. Our class (or at least the 20 or so people who actually have an inkling of care about this major project) crashed my house for an overnight work. Now when I say crashed, I really mean crashed. Bond papers, tally sheets, laptops, mongol pencils, USBs, backpacks, tempura, biscuits, whatever kind of snack you could think of, and half empty glasses of Pepsi were all over the place. Even if there were sleeping mattresses spread on many parts of the house, no one actually did have a decent sleep. Oh wait I did sleep.. for 30 minutes! Morning came and we're off to school again. The manuscript was half finished. I so love my parents for all their support, patience and for putting up with all the mess that we've created. Wednesday. Half of the class slept all throughout the morning classes, or at least those classes with instructors who won't send you out for snoozing coz you were one of the unfortunate ones who had to stay up all night panicking. After school we worked at Jan's house. We only stayed there til midnight coz we didn't have the energy anymore to do overnight work again. However, there was not much sleep to get at home either coz we had to review for 3 exams for Thursday anyway. We are now beginning to realize that our chosen course is slowly starting to kill us.
Friday. We couldn't celebrate just yet. We still had exams and mind torture to face for that day. But at 3p.m. we were finally dismissed. Yey freedom! Later at 7:30 p.m. some classmates and I met up at the school again then had dinner, a few drinks and KTV at Whythouse Grill. Thony was there too. It was kind of like a victory party and also an early celebration for mah birthday..!:D
Saturday. 15th of March. Ok well the good news is that it was my birthday (hooray!) .. But the bad news is that I'm 19 now, my last year with a 'teen' on it (no hooray for that). For now I'm not going to write much about my being 19 coz I haven't reflected about it yet. Maybe later. Anyway, the people who were with me yesterday and all those who remembered to greet me completed my day. I was soooo touched by their messages. Awww.. :') This is one of those days when I feel really really loved.. Thony and I spent the afternoon at the mall and ate at Fortune teahouse. Afterwards my family, Thony and I ate again at VFW, a place near Clarkfield which serves American and Aussie stuff. I had a simple yet happy day.:)

Last Monday, my friends and I went to AUFMC in between classes to visit Arren's sick mom. The complications of her condition left her in temporary (at least we hope so) dementia (forgetfulness). She couldn't even recognize her own daughter. Arren started crying when she realized this. I, on the other hand, tried to stop myself from breaking down but the tears came out anyway. I believe that me crying was completely inappropriate that's why that experience left me in doubt of my future nursing abilities. I mean, I could take the physical and mental exhaustion and all that.. but I need more work on the emotional side. People in this kind of career have to learn to detach themselves at least a little bit from sick people's situations.. or they'll end up sucking in all the depression. ***** This week was again dominated by CDX. There is not one day during the past week that I went straight home or to the mall or to some other place other than school. The library has become our second home. No time to procrastinate. That's history. Yesterday I, together with a few equally concerned classmates, sacrificed the whole Saturday encoding the data we have gathered. This morning I had the most wonderfully devastating news I've heard all week: that Badong's laptop was stricken by virus and that all the files in it were wiped out. All my yesterday's work are stored in it. No duplicate copies have yet been made. One whole saturday wasted. Submission of the whole CDX manuscript is on Thursday. We're not even half way through. LECHE. ***** Thony and I had wanton noodles yesterday at Chowking. Suddenly I needed some tissue which were located at his side of the table so I asked him to hand over some to me.... Me: uy tissue... Thony: miss you too. whahaha. :D LORL! (laugh out really loud). err. gets niyo? kung hinde xenxa na. gotta get some sleep!!! Labels: blah, showbiz lovelife, skool 3.02.2008
cdx, recognition, french baker and dirt cheap cameras!
This week, CDX (community diagnosis) has taken over everyone's lives.. or well, the lives of sophomore students at our college for that matter.
Our class had its first exposure to the community of San Jose last Wednesday and even though it was definitely not as easy as 1-2-3, I still enjoyed the first experience with my classmates. I'm just a little anxious about the next steps because as the leader in our group, I seem to be one of those whom our instructors depend on to organize the class on this whole thing. I don't want the added responsibility but I can't do anything about it. First day was exhausting and so will be the following days. On to other matters.. It was the college recognition day last Friday and I was one of those recognized. Plus my sister too. Our level coordinator cancelled all the awardees' 2-5pm classes which meant that I didn't have to attend RLE class. I felt that it was completely unnecessary to cancel class since the awarding ceremonies shall not start until 5pm but heck I didn't want to miss that wonderful opportunity to skip community diagnosis for once, so I was happy and contented with the level coordinator's decision! And so since I had 3 hours of nothing-to-do time, I guiltily went home, took a nap, went online, ate a can of Stik-o and pampered meeself while the rest of my classmates marched yet again to the battlefield called San Jose. Hihihi. 5pm came. My parents, grandma, aunt, Thony and Tin's boyfriend Jerome were there to watch. My dad was the one who went up the stage with me since my mom already did last year. Felt great shaking hands with the dean and all that stunt, but the ceremony lasted too long that my empty stomach kept grunting the whole time. Badong and Mike (my other scholarly and equally hungry classmates) kept texting to me their desperations and boredom throughout the progam.  I ate a hearty dinner as soon as we reached home where a bunch of our relatives were waiting. When Thony left, I had no one my age to talk to so I invited my kid cousins over to my room. And I played games with them! They really liked me I must say.: )I like kids. They're devoid of any malicious intent towards their fellow humans. Kids never give fake smiles. They may fight over the littlest things but forget about it after a few minutes. If only adults could follow their example.. then the world shall get rid of all that shit. Oh and I also thanked God for giving me some brains. Saturday came and I'm off to school again for community diagnosis matters. Yung group lang namin ang sumipot sa "class" meeting. And I'm proud of our group for that. hehe. Tallying was crucial and suspenseful. Afterwards, Thony, Red, Khay, Jan, Paul and I hit SM Clark for some real food. We hoarded the "eat all you kan-in" at Tokyo Tokyo. After Jan and Paul left, the four of us remaining felt that we still haven't had our fill yet so we went around looking for merienda and found French Baker inviting. We spent almost two hours sitting at the place wherein we picked on passers-by and innocent-looking foreigners. Red and Khay also filled me and Thony in on all the dirty gossip (I'm stupid when it comes to gossip so someone has to narrate to me the happenings every other time). We laughed 'til the nearby foreigners stared at us and all the food we ate got digested and we felt hungry all over again. Aw I so loove Red, Khay and Thony.:D  My two VIVITAR IC100 cameras have arrived yesterday. I can't believe they only cost fifty pesos each. Yes you read right. Fifty freakin' pesos each. They're practically DIRT CHEAP so I bought two units. The shipping fee even costs higher than the two units combined! Even a roll of film is more expensive! I also can't believe that I haven't even paid for them yet. Shame on me. Argh. (REALLY HUGE apology to Jami, I promise to deposit the payment ASAP.) Can't wait to load my vivi with film and go shooting! I'm giving the other one to Thony.. I'm trying to convert him. Hihihi.:D |
You've reached the end of yet another long post. Ciao!: )
