chillin for the first time

For the first time since school started, I am actually enjoying my weekend, not worrying about what will happen on Monday, or Tuesday. I am still hoping that we don't have classes tomorrow (Benavides day diba?!) but I am actually happy that we don't have school today.. Long weekend.. What a way to end our Monthly Exams, which was hell by the way. I am so frustrated with myself, especially last Thursday night, because I lost all the enthusiasm that I had when school started. I was too lazy to study for Micro-Para lec and lab. What happened? I think I failed my Lab exam. But what the heck, it's only 1 unit! Ugh, then I remember Ana-Physio. Ang hirap sobra. Can I die now? But I promised myself I won't think of the possible results.. I have to enjoy the weekend. I deserve it :)

I can now say that I can drive. I was able to drive myself to school for 3 days. I live in Marikina and my school's in Espana. Amazing? haha I was so proud of myself. I was able to endure the traffic in Espana and was able to survive in QC Circle. Was able to make gitgitan with jeepney drivers and fx drivers - which is bad, next time I should just let them go first. Hay. I am getting older. But I actually feel younger. :)

I watched the FEU-UST game yesterday with my 2 sisters, and can I just say, nakakahiya talaga. We lost AGAIN. We haven't won a match since God knows when.

I missed the post-test in Mod4 yesterday. F*ck that NSTP thing. Why does it have to be online?! I went online last Saturday, but there were no available quizzes online naman!!! Ugh. I know I have to love my school, but how can you love it,when every time you go to school (after leaving the house an hour earlier to beat the traffic) the traffic is worse in the campus, when you try to park (at 6.45am),there's no more free parking left, you'll have to park in the Pay Parking Lot, where you'll have to pay 30 bucks for the first 3 hours and additional 10 bucks for every exceeding hour, when you go to the bathroom, it stinks to the point that you couldn't breathe, when you get to the cubicle, there's no flush, when you try to wash your hands, there's no water, when you go out to have lunch in Dapitan, the guards are so careless and the street stinks! I'm telling you my list is really long. nakakainis. I love my life in the college though. Isipin ko nalang na lahat ng hirap at bagay na kinabwibwisitan ko will make me a better person. :)

exam week

Hassle. Exam week today.

Got no time to blog. I just went online to email my homework to someone.

I am so not eating at KFC anymore. Got food poisoned ba naman. Tsk. Lost 5 lbs over the weekend because of what happened. At least may benefits din diba.

dead tired

Had my duty in the OPD this afternoon. I was surprised that we would be actually interacting with "clients" today, as today's supposed to be Orientation day, since it's our first meeting with our new CI.

We're going to pay 2 courtesy calls to the Manila Health Dept - District 1 Health Center and Dagupan Health Center tomorrow. Good luck to us. :)

I'm so tired. And stressed. Have to finish the powerpoint presentation for my group's report tomorrow in Ana-Physio. I don't want to report, so instead, I volunteered to do the presentation since no one wants to do the dirty work.

Thank God it's almost friday.

Miss you Trisha.

I'm listening to Gino's cd right now. Their band's really good. Kuya Louie's a really good singer. I guess it runs in the blood :) Hope they make it big.

bye bye trisha

Trisha left for Canada this afternoon.. She'll always be my best friend..

Uwi na dito Trish! Nyak, wala pa ata siya dun, pinauuwi ko na eh noh?

Jia, Ria, Nina, Aiza, my sisters, my parents, yaya, Gino, and I miss you na!

Love you Trishie pie.

HAPPY STORY NAMAN.

We finally have our name plates, which makes us certified student nurses. I believe in all other Nursing schools or in most schools that is, they get their name plates freshman year of college. In UST-Nursing, we have to work hard to earn that. Having a name plate is like being assured that you're going to make it, you're going to be a certified registered nurse one day. :) Thank God we won't be mistaken as 1st year students anymore. Though 1st year was fun, I'd rather be a soph thank you very much. :)

I still miss Trisha. I talked to her this morning before entering Comp class. When I entered the room, I was crying na. Then Abbie told me that Oana's crying, eh I can't show myself to others coz I was crying also. People found us weird nga coz mga kaibigang nagiiyakan. They thought that I was crying coz Oana was crying. Haha. Turns out, Oana cried coz Ade kept teasing her and she just burst. Haha. Pikon pala si Oana.

Yikes, I'm going to Tondo tomorrow. RLE ko sa Manila Health Dept - Dagupan, Tondo. I can do this :)

Monthly exams next week. Hay. Kakayanin.

doom day tomorrow

Doom day tomorrow. Trisha's leaving na nga.

I never thought that that day would actually come and that it's actually really happening so soon. Us being apart from each other. I thought we'd part ways after graduation since I'd be working in the States and she'd still be here. Yet, it's not our destiny. She was destined to live in Canada. I'll miss being with her, calling her from school just because I'm bored and I need her, calling her and asking her to come over to just hang out. I wish I could turn back time and be in High School again. Back then, our problems seem petty and we were just enjoying life. College seemed different at first because I don't have her or my barkada with me in school. I accepted the fact that we won't be going to the same University na nga, but I still can't accept the fact that she's leaving. For good. But I have to. It still doesn't seem real. Like what Trish said, it'll only sink in when she's in Canada na. I'm so sad. I couldn't let go of her nga last Saturday when her parents picked her up from my place eh. Kept crying till I went to sleep.

Saturday was the best. Last bonding moment with Trish before she leaves, and period. :(

Trisha, ikaw parin best friend ko, kahit nasa Canada ka na. Mahal na mahal kita. :'( I'm crying right now, as I type.

life of a stressful being

I'm so stressed with everything that's been happening lately.. So many things to do for school, yet I don't think I have enough time to do everything. I always have back pains due to stress, and unlike last week where 11pm is too late for me (in sleeping), it seems like I'm back to living the life of someone whose slumber starts at 11pm and ends at 5am SHARP. My life seems so boring, but actually it isn't.

Before I go on and be all emotional and stuff, let me just say that I am so frustrated right now. I studied hard last night - I read the whole chapter on Nervous System worth 40+ pages! Yet we weren't able to have the "short" quiz today. Instead, we'll be having the short and long quiz on Nervous System tomorrow.. Not only that, we have another quiz on Endocrine System, which I still have to read tonight. Ugh!!! This is the reason why my uncle, after graduating from UST BSN didn't work right away, even with all his honors such as being a cum laude and #9 in the boards. Now I know why. I hope I have the energy to work right after I graduate. Know what, even if I'm so tired studying and staying in school late for classes and duty, I feel so happy and so excited. For the first time in my life, I am actually excited to be studying and learning new things. And I am quite happy about that actually. I don't need to be in the Dean's list. As long as I know I'm doing my best in every quiz, every exam, every "assignment", I'm happy. Although being in the Dean's List would be a plus.

I am feeling quite low today because Trisha's leaving on Tuesday. To all my friends from SPCP, Ana Patricia Gonzaga aka Trisha or Anapat is leaving on July 12th for good. Text her na or something. I'm so sad. She has made my life "a whole lot nicer and so much happier and funner" and it's gonna be different not having her around. I know she's from La Salle and I'm from UST, but we still find time to talk to each other, tell each other how we're doing, that kinda thing, and I always call her when I'm bored with school or when I need a friend. Now all that's gonna change. :( It's so sad. She promised naman that she'll be coming back when she's saved enough money na naman eh. Take care Trishie Pie.

Gotta study pa. Yes, I'm a changed woman. :)

so many things to do, so little time

So many things to do, so little time. I really have to manage my time wisely. I spend my whole weekend studying and sleeping. Thank God I managed to have a pedicure (my toenails were in dire need of a pedicure - it's been months na!)

Anyway, I learned a lot of things today. I know it's such a cliche, but we really shouldn't judge anyone. We don't have the right to judge anyone, simply because we're not God. I wish I could take back all the anger and hatred that has been built in my heart. I'm slowly letting go of all the bad feelings I have for anyone. Like what my mom said, no matter how hard I study, no matter how hard I work, if there's hatred in my heart, it wouldn't get me anywhere.

Enough of that drama.

I woke up from my late siesta last night (around 6pm) because my dear Oana texted me and told me to watch Punk'd simply because andy was the one being punk'd. When I turned on the TV, tada! It was Andy! He was so handsome. I am so right in wanting him! He was so cute. And he's just perfect.. So anyway, that same night I watched him in his semis match with Tommy Johansson.. Thank God Andy won. I was like on the edge of my seat the whole time and was so into the game because it was such a close fight! I am so happy that Andy made it to the finals.. I am so going to watch his match tonight. Yes, I'm so happy! =) Back to Andy, I hope he wins.. He deserves this..

Good luck Andy dear!

**I hope our Micro-Para quiz is moved to Wed. I wasn't able to give that much attention to the subject because of Andy's match. And because I spent most of my afternoon sleeping..

thank God for weekends

I am super tired from the whole week. Had our RLE in the hospital ward last wed and thursday. SInce we were in the Pay Hospital, we weren't doing any vital signs, (of course the patients were paying, they deserve the best nursing care from professional nurses, not from student nurses). Those days really got me toxic. I salute the nurses who've been working for years. Can't believe I'd be doing those things i saw the nurses who I shadowed, for the rest of my life. Hopefully, I retire early ahahaha. But seriously, being a nurse is no joke. YOu'd think that it's just following doctor's orders and making sure your patients are okay, but man, if those are the only things you know that nurses do, don't take up nursing. Nurses do everything. And there are only 2-3 nurses per ward. Imagine that. 8 hours non-stop and you have to attend to 25 patients. I just hope I finish college in UST. Though the job's toxic, I still want to be a nurse. I can't wait to be one. Have to finish this course to achieve my long-term goal. hahaha

have to study for about 6 long quizzes this week.

Good luck to me.

Andy's in the semis. too bad his match with johansson got suspended last night (yesterday afternoon in london). I was waiting for it pa naman. I hope he wins the finals. if he reaches the finals, that is. Well, I hope he wins his match with Johansson and wins over Roger. He's been my inspiration these past few days. This past few weeks, I felt like I couldn't study and concentrate anymore. To the point that I'm already thinking of giving up. Then I think of Andy. He proved that he's more than a big serve and more than just a pretty handsome face. He's working his (sorry for the term) ass off, and succeeds in whatever he wants to do. He works hard for what he wants, and I have to be like that. I have to be more determinated and more focused. Love. :)
