rollercoastered
 Crap. Another emo day for me. Dunno why. Something's bothering me. Can't tell exactly what.. Or maybe I can tell, Im just too chicken to let it out and admit it. Well, for one thing I can tell I am not depressed. I'm just not bubbly like I am on other days.Whatever it is, it has taken over my system coz I've been anorexic for the past two days now. The anorexic part is NOT an exaggeration. I only ever ate a banana, a mint candy, a piece of bread which Sarah insisted that I should eat because she thinks she's my mother, and a cup of coffee which my real mother made for me. There. No real breakfasts, lunches nor dinners. And I don't even feel any tinge of hunger! I am so NOT my food-hoarding self lately. I'm afraid my patient on Monday at the OB Ward would look even healthier than I am. Oh about that patient part, yes I actually have REAL patients now. Finally the pseudo-Nursing days are over and I'm now a Junior so that means I get to have duties at the hospital and act like real nurses do. I've only been exposed to the hospital, particularly the OB Ward at the Ospital Ng Angeles, for a total of 6 days now but every bit of the experience has been a rollercoaster ride already. Like rollercoaster rides, there are times of euphoria, adrenaline rush, and even dull and low moments. I wish I have the luxury of time right now to tell the tales but I just don't. There's mountains of schoolwork I have to put my attention to. Oh or maybe the mountains of schoolwork is not really the reason.. Thony and I have a date in a little while.. Hihihi. Schoolwork could wait. We haven't been seeing each other much lately because of our conflicting schedules. Buh-bye for now. I'll try to pull off a more decent post next time.. Ciao!xD Labels: blah, emo-schemo, school 6.12.2008
beetles and june 12
Vintage or Modern?  With the Volkswagen New Beetle, you can have them both! (err, that sounded a little too much like a tv commercial than I originally intended.)  The first time I laid eyes on this man-made wonder was back in high school and since then I've been in love with it. On a darker note though, NO, this post doesn't mean I'm getting the New Beetle anytime soon. But who knows?! Someday you just might catch me on a road trip flaunting one! To describe it merely as CUTE is an understatement. ****** On to other current events.. If you're Filipino you'd probably be aware of two things about this lovely June 12: 1. That today is Independence Day. So yey. Happy Independence Day to you. But there's a more pressing issue than just the mere celebration of the day Filipinos finally broke free of the harsh Spanish colonization 110 years ago. There's still that single question which no doubt lingers every now and then on the average Filipino mind: Are we truly, GENUINELY free?!  lomograph by zoe 2. Today is also the celebrated Filipino action star Rudy Fernandez's interment. Now honestly, I was never really a fan of his, nor any other celebrity of his generation. It's probably simply because it's just not my generation. I would surely fail to give a correct answer if you would ask me to cite a single movie which he starred in (fine, call me stupid). But with all due respect, I am fully aware of his standing in showbiz royalty, the battle that he and his family had gone through, and how good a human being he is. Even if I know very little about him, I can't help but feel a little depressed upon learning of his death. He's an icon, and not just any other icon for that matter. He actually happens to be a good (in the sincerest sense of the word) example, one who is kind-hearted and humble and a lot different from the pretentious and self-absorbed stars now swarming everyday TV (at least that's what I've heard).
Now that's what you call true love. Labels: blah, making sense 6.09.2008
optimism comes in waves
 Behind the barbed wires is a rainbow. Something to lift my spirits up whenever the thought of a new and more complex semester comes to mind. A little inspiration always helps.XD Captured just after a downpour. 05.30.08. Sa bakuran nina Thony. Edited three days later. Labels: blah, making sense, photography 6.06.2008
reckless imprudence
Oh crap, I did it again.
My journal notebook is GONE! Nope, it wasn't stolen by some stalker or again secretly read by my mother. It's just that I have this stupid and careless habit of hiding away things (obviously for others not to see) and later on TOTALLY FORGETTING where on the face of the earth I hid them. Hmf. How smart could I be?! Labels: blah 6.02.2008
Thursday live in Manila
Caution: Long post ahead. Please bear with the oh-so-detailed account of my THURSDAY experience.  May 30 '08. a Friday. I thought it was just another sluggish day... one of those days when I choose to be inefficient by sleeping all morning and all afternoon, waking up occasionally only to get something to eat. Good for me coz little did I know, later that night, I wasn't getting any sleep at all. That afternoon, I awoke from my sweet slumber at 4:00 p.m. and found a couple of messages on my phone, one of which is from my friend Ivan (better pronounced as Ayban) reminding me about that night's big agenda. OMG.  I totally forgot. THURSDAY (for those who might be confused, 'Thursday' IS the band name), one of the bands I happen to worship was visiting Manila and their Makati show was scheduled that night (you'll find a line about this event on my recent post, just scroll down a bit and you'll see it). One reason why the event totally slipped off my mind was that I've already discarded any thought of ever being able to attend it days ago when I asked my mom once if I could go and her immediate and predictable answer was NO. But still, there was this pressing feeling within me which kept on telling me I wasn't supposed to lose hope. Ivan wasn't helping either, he bombarded me with nagging text messages, one of which goes something like:
I panicked.  There I was, a kid whose brain is not functioning well from all that sleep, with less than 5 hours before the show starts, province/s away from the venue and not enough money to even buy a concert ticket and a bus ride home. The idea of even taking a shower and packing my things to go there was absurd and ridiculous.But to make the long story short, 30 minutes later, I was on the road to Thony's house to wake him up (apparently he was having a sluggish day too) and tell him we're going to Manila to watch Thursday, a band which he never even knew existed until then. He was furious at first (biglain ba naman ang bagong gising hehe).  But being the supposed-to-be understanding boyfriend that he is, he had no choice but to come with me. BTW, don't ask how I got away from my mom and got the money. I happen to be brilliant when under pressure. lol.  At around 7:00 pm, Thony, Ivan, Ivan's girl, and I hopped on a bus and our journey began. (Grr. ang dami ko nang nasulat pero nagsisimula pa lang ang journey. Tinatamad na ata ako. hehe.) We reached Makati at 9p.m. We had to do a great deal of walking before a cab finally picked us up from the street (thank u very much!). When we got to the A-Venue Hall (the venue), the show has already started, but only with the first front act which was April Morning Skies, immediately followed by Angulo. The crowd became more excited when Chicosci took the stage. Thony and I had a funny discovery that night: that we both have a crush on Miggy, Chicosci's vocalist. Wahaha.  Kidding aside (or maybe I'm not kidding hehe), I thank Chicosci for playing 'Paris', one of my favorite songs from them. After their set, Typecast followed. I don't remember hearing them play any of my favorite Typecast tracks but I still like them anyhow.  Then of course, after all the front acts and hours of bearing with tired burning feet, the reason why we came all the way from Angeles City to Makati finally showed up (I still cannot believe I did what I did!). Thursday was just amazing. Watching them play their songs live as opposed to just hearing them from the radio felt surreal. They also had such good connection with the crowd, giving off a sense of euphoric madness.  I'm not sure how long their show lasted but I, and I believe the rest of the audience too, wish they played longer. Anyhoo, I'm glad I decided to come on that trip. The ticket was worth every centavo of it (though I would've been happier if it were cheaper!hihi). The bouncers shooed everyone off when it was time to leave. We lingered around A-Venue for a while after the gig, eyeing some VIP's who came and went. We even got a peek of Miggy. Hihi kilig. We had yummy goto at an anonymous carinderia and some taho before we hopped on the bus home and touched hometown just before sunrise at around 4 am, exhausted but fulfilled.
