something sinister this way comes
This photo I took of a cemetery months ago gave me goosebumps the first time I saw it. Creepy. I guess a lot could happen when you're using expired film (no edits here of course!). I know it's probably just light leaks but it still is freaky.!

It reminds me of how I imagined the setting on one of my favorite book series. Well, speaking of that particular book series.. I mentioned in my previous post something about "my latest obsession".. ok so here it is..

Drumroll please....

It's the Twilight series..! I don't expect you to be surprised, it's gone really popular these days.. what with the movie adaptation coming and all.. not to mention the overly hot lead actor chosen to play Edward Cullen --- Robert Pattinson (please remind me to stop drooling).

My sister and I bought the first book, Twilight, months ago. But it was only a week ago that I had the time to start reading it. I was so absorbed that I put it down only to eat, shower and sleep for 3 hours. Upon finishing it a day and a half later, I knew I just fell in love again. To whom, I'm not really sure. The story is your typical teenage love story, but with an edge that is... mainly because the girl (Bella) is an ordinary seventeen-year-old mortal who fell in love with a guy (Edward) who is not only a 90-year-old (if I'm not mistaken) vampire but also is hot, perfect and immortal.(!!)

The story is painfully heart-wrenching and nostalgically inspiring so I highly recommend it to all bookworms and hopeless romantics out there..:)

I've got ebooks of New Moon and Eclipse but I feel bad about stealing from Stephenie Meyer (who by the way is probably filthy rich already) and I'm not very fond of reading off the pc for hours at a time so I'm eventually going to get original copies of them for myself anyway. Maybe tonight I'll check out other bookstores in town *evil grin*.

I have to get my hands on those two asap or I'll end up skipping them and going straight to Breaking Dawn which I already have a copy of. Ugh the temptation.!

************

This never gets old. I miss him. I miss us.


Oh no we didn't break up or anything close to that. We just don't see each other too often anymore. Yeah you guessed right, it's because of school business again.! Sunday is our day though. We're going to Church then have coffee in a while. So buh-bye! XD

I notice I've been using the word 'sinister' a lot lately.

******

[EDIT] Soo I just got back from that date with him. I'm actually grinning right now.:) Plus I also was able to grab a copy of Eclipse already. Too bad they didn't have a copy of New Moon which isn't hard-bound (hard-bounds are more expensive, making me a little too guilty too buy one). Three down, one more to go!

BTW, I also bought my fisheye camera a lace. I feel I owe it some kind of compensation or apology after irresponsibly losing its lens cap months ago. XD

Shock of the day: I just spotted my sister's stolen phone FOR SALE at the mall today!

you know, they weren't always cute.
Contrary to what it may seem like, no, this blog has not been abandoned. Ok so i'm back. What the hell, I don't even know where and how to start my babbling.
So what have I been up to anyway? Well for one, I've been delivering babies. Yep. Real live human babies. Honestly, never have I thought that one day I'd be saying something like that.. mainly because I've never really pictured myself taking this line of career back then. But that's another story. Right now I wanna talk about the human babies...

So it's true. Their heads really do get molded.. bent into ovoid shapes as they make their way out of their mother's you-know-what. For one second there, I pitied that very 1st baby coz I thought she had some kind of cranial abnormality because the top of her head was severely malformed. But realizing Anatomy and Physiology, I quickly remembered that "molding" was nothing but a normal mechanism which every baby undergoes to get out more easily. Their heads assume normal shapes later on. Yeah stupid me.

And also, I've been told on lectures that they shall look "blue" (or cyanotic) for the first few minutes of their lives in the outside world. And indeed they are.. literally blue that is. They don't look human at all.. they're rather more like how I imagined the mandrakes in the Harry Potter books. Or maybe like small aliens from some kind of obscure planet where people are blue. Not earthlings at all.

But then you bathe them, suction them, keep them warm and wrap them into small delicate bundles under the drop light and within 5 minutes they transform into fragile wonderful creatures. Not blue, but with the color of life, almost pinkish. Indeed, gifts from God Himself. Then a proud smile creeps across your face for being the one to help such a beautiful creation be brought to earthly life.

The mother on labor has another story though. She has the face of pain and sacrifice all throughout the process. When I was decked for the very first time, the blood drained from my face when the attending physician performed the episiotomy. He injected anesthesia and cut her perineal area so grossly like it was some kind of meat, like it was something he does each day. But then I had to get over that real fast and had to avoid fainting because there was some baby-catching to be done. Later, I delivered the placenta. The placenta! I delivered it! Then even later on I assisted with stitching her up. Surreal. What with all the blood all over the place. I definitely appreciate mothers more now.

My experience in the Delivery Room rotation was a memorable one. I feel so comfortable now with "Katorse", my RLE group (BSN III-4 grp. 14). We laugh most of the time, especially on those days when D.R. would be a drag and no one would give birth at all.


Anyway, on to other matters.. There are actually more things I would like to put in here such as my sister's 18th birthday party last July (yeah I know it's August already. very late post.), my reunion with my ex-bestfriends, and my latest obsession. But maybe I'll talk about those later on. Long stories.

Ciao.! Be back soon. At least I hope so.
