update

Tagal ko di nag-blog ah. Haha.

We're officially on vacation. Yahoo! No more compre. Done done done. Yessss.

So what happened? Hmmm..

Watched Manny Pacquiao's fight with Morales last Sunday. Yabang naman ni Morales. Di daw nya na-feel power ni Pacquaio. Hello? The score was 115-113. We're talking about 2 points here, not even 5 points. And Pacquiao was bleeding already at the 5th round. Bakit di man lang nya napabagsak db? Hay nako. El Terible, El hangin.

Mitzi, Dimple and I went to St. Clare's (Church or Cathedral?) in Katipunan. I want to go back there. It's so peaceful...

We went to Gateway in Cubao after that to eat lunch. Ganda ng Gateway. Haha. And it was funny because we were like walking around and we'd see SLCM students everywhere. Hehe. Then we ate at CIBO. Too expensive. Haha. At least na-try. Ang gulo ng menu pramis.

I watched I am David on DVD. I Loved loved loved it!!!! It's now one of my favorite movies. It somehow reminded me of The Alchemist...

Before leaving school, I went to the registrar's office to inquire about the scholarships, since Dr. dela Calzada was not in her office. The guy at the registrar told me that a grade of 86% was required for the Quasha scholarship. Nge. Last year I think only Ciel and Nicky got GWAs higher than 86. And they were our top 1 and 2 students respectively. Sows.

And then Dimple, Nicky and I ate at Chili's for lunch. We were supposed to go with the whole class and celebrate the birthdays of two of our classmates, but since all three of us needed to get home to our respective provinces early, we just had our own lunch. Bleh. I didn't like what I ordered. It was Margarita Grilled Chicken. The chicken was okay, but the whole thing was surrounded with black beans that tasted really eww. I wasn't even able to eat the rice because it was also soaked in the black bean's sour sauce. Hay. I should've gone for the Monterey Chicken. And it's pretty expensive too. But the servings are bigger than CIBO's. I just ordered the wrong food.

Then this afternoon, I got news from my college classmate Eyie that Kim's dad died last Tuesday. So I went to Me-anne's house and we went to the wake and talked to Kim's mom because he went home because he hasn't slept for 2 days straight. May his dad's soul rest in peace..

During the night before the final compre, Dimple and I had fun with pictures. Hehe. Here we are with our hair put up in ponytails- the style that was really popular back then when we were still kids, you know, on the side. Haha. Ayus sa trip...

blogger me turns one

It's my Xanga blog's first anniversary! Weeee! Hehe. Although I'm now with blogspot, I'm celebrating it because it also means I've been a blogger for a year now. Wahaha. I actually kept this thing. It's the longest I've kept a journal. Guess because it's a lot easier since I use a keyboard instead of writing down with a pen, which makes my hand hurt and consequently make me lazy and then just stop writing.

Thanks to those diligent enough to read what I have to say. Wahahha.

Hope I can keep this for another year. :) Okay, for many more years. :)

post it

I'm just itching to post a new entry. I've nothing to do. So here are random nonsensical things.

I saw Edwin McCain on Ch25 last week. For the first time. Hehe. I finally saw the guy behind that I'll Be song. I was expecting him to be a hunky rocker guy, you know, like Brandon Boyd. But he turned out to be a long-haired, chubby guy. Hehe. La lang. Astig talaga nagagawa ng imahinasyon.

I've finally, finally seen Meet the Fockers too. Ha. Love that kid Little Jack. ASSSSS...HOOOOLE. I would love to have that kid with me and have him say that to a few people I know who deserve that title. Hehe. Bad.

I also watched Bcuz of U last Friday night. Heart and Geoff's story was super babaw. But I ended up crying when Hero sold his car to buy the ticket for Sandara. Okay, let me get this straight. I didn't cry because of the story of the movie itself. I cried because of my present situation. It's sad when you see people deeply in love and have things going on very well for them, and you know that you were once like that: happy and in-love. And then you start thinking why there are some relationships that last very long, even for the rest of the couples' lives. And why it didn't work that way for you. I used to believe Love's all we need. (Yeah, like that song in Smart's commercial with Jasmine in it). But now, I guess it's not true..

So there, after crying over a completely cheesy movie that's not even touching, I am now officially a tear-jerky. And oh, did you know, I'd spend hours online clicking on people in my Friendster network, and look at pictures, especially those that have couples in it. Haha. Hell. I'm good at making myself miserable.

Okay, I just had to let it all out.

I also finally, finally saw Braveheart. Wahaha. Ang bata pa ni Mel Gibson. Nice movie. Something like, The Last Samurai, Gladiator, and Lord of the Rings combined. Although, it came first than those three movies I mentioned, so I can't say it was unoriginal or something. I should have watched it a long time ago..

Dimple, can I get the shih-tzu earlier? Hehe. I am excited. I've been thinking of names for my coming pup. Some of the choices are Bubbles, Dizzy, Reese, Starr, Snickers and Pawee. Before, I really, really loved the name Oreo. Until ABS-CBN used that name for one of the guys in a previous tv program (I forgot the title, but in it were Angelica Panganiban, Carlo Aquino, Heart Evangelista etc). But, what do I know. Maybe I can still name a pup Oreo. Guess I'll have to wait until I get the puppy, and decide what name to give her based on her personality.

What else? What more nonsensical stuff can I add to this entry?

Oh. I would love to have an Ipod. Beauty. Hayyyy.. Pero syempre hanggang pangarap lang yan. I have many other more important things to save money for.

I want to lose weight. Then maybe some heartbeat abnormalities I've been feeling occasionally would go away. Hehe. I'm scared of going to the doc. Ironic huh?

Vacation. Yahooooooo!!!!!!!!!

bohol tragedy and biochem memories

This entry was originally supposed to start with a YAHOO but I decided to change it. I mean, everyone knows about what happened in Bohol right? I kinda felt guilty, here I am rejoicing, while families of some 30+ kids are grieving.

Cyanide poisoning's the main theory of the doctors, because the kids ate Cassava. But, organophosphate poisoning is another theory. I don't know, but I (as well as some friends) am somehow not convinced that cyanide's the culprit. From what I remember in Biochem last year, the main sign and symptoms of cyanide poisoning are cherry red lips of the patient, difficulty of breathing, and bitter almond odor of the breath. But as Nicky said, some manifestations of the patients in Bohol are not correlated with those of cyanide poisoning. (Am I right Dr. Emer?) Hehe. Nag-mamagaling eh. Ah ewan. Parang yun natatandaan ko.

Hay, whatever the reason maybe, the lesson here is to be careful. Minsan simpleng pagpapabaya, buhay ang nagiging kapalit.

I just remembered one kid's particular story (from Magandang Gabi Bayan). He was really disheartened because that day, he had 2 pesos as baon, so he gave one peso to his brother. And his brother used that 1 peso to buy maruya, which caused his brother's death. :(

Grabe. So many tragedies already... I pray to God di na madagdagan pa.

Anyways, bakasyon ko na. Mapapahinga na ako. :)

Nyt all.

la wenta

Hirap mag-aral ng gutom... dami ko naman kinain nung dinner..

Hay buhay...

Pero yehey. Ilang araw nalang bakasyon na.

Sabi daw ng classmates ko, last will and testament ko daw yung greetings ko sa trans namin. Hehe. Pagbigyan nyo na, minsan lang ako maging sentimental.

Finals na ng Med at PrevMed. Makikita ko na naman si Bocobo bukas. Ay mamaya na pala. Shyet. Bagay sila ni Ong. Hehe. Matching ang kanilang crowning glory db?

O sige. Wala kwenta mga pinagsasasabi ko. Ala lang. Pampagising lang.

"Review" na ulit.

sucker!!!

So I asked my classmates about Lot-Lot de Leon, and it turned out that I was right pala that she's adopted. Sira talaga kapatid ko... hehehe

We had our Pharma final exam just a while ago. All I can say is:

Hate it. Hate it. Hate it.

Dimple, you are so damn lucky.

something serious, and something funny (or stupid)

Another day has passed, and I didn't open even open my bag to take out my school goodies. Hehe. Whee. At least I got to rest.

I edited the Patho Correlates transcription last night. Since it was my last transcription for the 2nd year, I decided to add some major greetings. I wanted to greet only those people special to me. But since there was still more than enough space, I put in thanks for every single person in my class, making sure nobody's missed. I was worried that I won't be able to think of anything to thank some classmates for. But then I was able to finish it with everybody in it. :)

I just realized no matter how rare it is you get to talk to some person, or how much you hate the guts of one person, you can still find good things in them; that you should still appreciate them because they have affected your life one way or the other. And you know for sure that your life would not have been as fun without them. Be it just about burning CDs, or taking pictures, lending chargers, or just saying "hello" to you, flashing you a smile, giving you a hug, or just hearing their jokes that make you laugh. I mean, even the bad things are something to be thankful for: making mistakes, hurting someone, or just even hearing about your classmates rant about someone else. Why? Because you learn: how to do better, how to avoid hurting someone, how to not make others sick of you.

Appreciation. It makes life easier.

And I realized I have such good friends. To all my friends, thank you. And love you all. :) Check out the Haiku I made for Dimple. It's in the comment section of her last post in her blog. Hehehe. Sentimental mode.

Anyways, my friend Butchik called me up this afternoon. We talked about friendships, issues, and my lovelife, that's apparently non-existent anymore. That girl, she made me cry. Haha. Just by asking, "Kumusta na?" I was surprised myself when I cried. I guess that means I'm still not okay. And so I also guess I should be thankful for the school stuff that's been keeping my mind off that problem for the meantime.

Owkay.. on to less serious things...

I watched MYX Live this afternoon, featuring MYMP. I think though it's just a replay. I want to buy their album. I just found out that "A little bit" (is that correct?) and "Every little thing" are their songs pala. So I want to buy their album. Plus, that girl's got a really good voice. To sing that good, live? Wow.

And my biggest discovery this afternoon:

Si Lot-Lot de Leon pala ay anak ni Nora Aunor at Christopher de Leon?

Hahahahahaha!!! No, I'm 100% serious. I didn't know that. I just knew when I saw some showbiz news about her on tv. I thought she was ampon or something. I don't know where I got that though.

Hehehehe. Eng-eng noh? Go on, hit me. :)

countdown

One more week to go, (and 5 days of final exams at that) and I'm done with 2nd year. :)

Done with PrevMed. Nyahahhaha! I'm soooooo... happy.



I'm listening to the Eraserheads Anthology cd right now, and I swear, my love for this band's coming back. Sabagay, di naman nawala. In college I used to sing Eheads songs with Jojo, kami lang ang Eheads fans, because most of my friends are into the "lovey-dovey" songs. Hay, too bad na-disband na sila. And what's with Ely changing names? I mean, people still refer to him as Ely naman. Hehe. La lang.




I'm gonna have to sleep early tonight. For the past few days I've been feeling like the world's shaking (yup, as in like a mild earthquake), and it was only this morning that I realized that it was actually dizziness. Not good. Considering I've had attacks of vertigo before. I wouldn't want to have an attack again. Hirap. :(

We met up with Dr. dela C after class. Jel and I were really scared when we found out she asked for a meeting with us. I really thought, "Oh no! Had she heard me cursing her after the ClinPath quiz?" We were super relieved when we found out that she was our adviser, hence the meeting.

Ok naman pala sya eh. She's nice, wag lang talaga gagalitin. Oh well. I still think what she did to the class (revenge) was unfair.

Anyways, I'm planning to come up to her sometime next week and ask about any financial support the college can offer to students (a.k.a. scholarships. Just didn't want to say it directly.) and if I have any chance of acquiring that kind of help. I really need it. I really, really need it.

I hope I'll still be able to enroll this coming school year. Pray for me. :)
