surprisingly, i'm still alive
I just hope I'll be able to survive these next 2 weeks. I am so looking forward to sembreak. I desperately need the break. I'm so happy it's Friday today. I can sleep for at least 8 hours. Whoo!
Hayop na ko magbasketball! Naka-8points ata ako kanina! With assists pa yun ha! I was actually surprised with my hidden talent. Haha :) Feeling star player naman ang bruha hahahaha!
I just want the semester to end.
I'm gonna be having my orals next tuesday. Dang, I hope I do good and not mess up. I need to pull up my grade in English. Ooh. I'm super duper nervous already.
Since I became a college student, I was kind of over getting mediocre grades. I pushed myself to my limits, and now, I'm really frustrated with the outcome. I guess I should've just relaxed a bit. I tired myself too much, got grades I didn't deserve, and left no time for myself. Tanga. I just don't want to disappoint my parents. :(
Life goes on..
I miss High School. A lot.

A series of unfortunate events
Been in school non-stop for a week. Had a four-hour duty yesterday and had my NSTP finals this morning. I still have to finish my micro report, NCP, homework on the make-up shift, reflection paper, and study for 2 quizzes on my "favorite" subject, Funda. Grr.
No time for rest. No time to chill.
2 weeks to go before sembreak. I can't wait.

school spirit!
Used up all my 2-week savings in one day. I was overwhelmed with our win that I went shoe shopping in Gateway after. I told Chi I wanted a new pair of slippers, so we went to PRP, then I got a cute pair of white slippers. Then we went to Rustan's 'cause I needed a new pair of black shoes for school and I wanted to buy from Aerosoles. When I was there, Chi saw the Havaianas section, and all the pairs I want were there. So I ignored what I really needed and bought 2 pairs of havaianas which I only want, not need. I also bought the black shoes, after I purchased the Hava slippers. Funny thing is, I don't get to wear the slippers often since I'm always in school. My sister told me nalang that we're going to the beach on sembreak naman eh.
I'm supposed to attend a seminar for NSTP this afternoon, but I had no idea we had a seminar. So I didn't attend, and now I don't know how in the world I'm going to pass NSTP. Why does it have to be online anyway?!?
Quiz day tomorrow. Done with CHN and MCR-PRS Lec. Still have 3 subjects to study for. Good luck to me.
Still loving life. Even if I had conjunctivitis last week (Wed-Fri). Sore eyes. I looked so stupid in school. Imagine, it was raining real hard, and I was wearing big dark glasses. I looked like a weird bug. Bug-eyed is what I call it. People were making fun of me, but it's the trend, accdg to my mom. Although not the eyes, the glasses lang. I hope I could wear my contacts na tomorrow because I'm having a hard time seeing things with my glasses since these don't have the correct grades for my eyes.
Few weeks before sembreak!

Roger won
He won against Agassi. A well-fought match. I like them both.
Roger's still unbeatable. I wonder who can and will beat him.
I hope it's Andy. But Andy's only won 1 game (I think) against him and that was 2 or 3 years ago at Montreal.
Back to studying.

Pacman won
Wala lang, gusto ko lang sabihin na nanalo si Pacquiao. Nakakatuwa eh. Natalo niya si Velazquez. I don't really watch boxing because I think it's a very violent sport. I hate seeing my fellow countrymen in bruises and being hit by other people. I'm terrified of seeing people with blood dripping all over their faces or their bodies - funny since I'm taking up Nursing. I just don't like seeing people get hurt. Period.
Jia came over last night since it was Chi's birthday. Ria and Nina couldn't make it eh, sayang. I miss Trisha so much. My mom misses her too. :(
PICTURES!
with the birthday girl - Chi. Twas her birthday yesterday.

I logged on to Andy's website again just now, and Andy left a message for all his supporters. Here it goes:
Message From Andy
By Andy Roddick 2005-09-08
Hey all!! first and foremost i wanna apologize for my us open. i was more prepared for that tournament than i have ever felt before. unfortunately, that did not translate. i am not going to lie. this loss cut deeper than any one i have ever had. i am normally pretty good about bouncing right back, and having a good outlook on things starting the next day. this one took a little while though. i had to remove myself from everything. it was tough to get away from it, considering it was a pretty hot topic of conversation around the country. i am lucky enough to have great friends who really took time out to hang out. I am ready now though. i am ready to put all of this behind me, and start my preparation for trying to get back to number one next year. as weird as it sounds, losses almost motivate more than success. i cannot wait to play davis cup in a couple of weeks, and am looking forward to a strong fall season.
Even though my loss was upsetting personally, there has been a tragedy in the world in the form of hurricane katrina. i think we all need to realize how lucky we are to be healthy. i truly feel blessed. it makes our day to day problems seem rightfully petty. i also love how our country reacts to adversity, and we all truly become one to help in the fight. i ask that each of u take a second and just realize how lucky we all are.
I am going to end this ramble on a positive note. i cannot express how excited i am for robby ginepri and james blake. they have been friends of mine for a long time, and the whole group was catching flak earlier in the summer for not producing results. people were saying that i was the only American, save andre, capable of making a real run in a slam..... they quieted a lot of doubters, and i can't wait til next year when we are all healthy and playing well. i hope everyone reading this was as lucky as me and got the chance to watch the agassi/blake match last night. it was unreal tennis played by the two best sportsmen in the game. i have never been so conflicted watching a match, but it was an absolute privilege to watch. i am so happy for james to be doing well after the year he had last year. to come back from what he went through even better than before is a real testament to his character.
Lastly, i want to thank all of u for your support. i love u guys and cannot thank u enough
andy
*******************************************************
Yup, didn't edit any word. Straight from andyroddick.com. I hope he does well next season. If only I could watch all of his Davis Cup games.. *sigh*I went to Metrowalk with my family for dinner. I so love Papa! He bought the complete 2nd season of The OC for me! Yey! I will be watching it on sembreak. Few more weeks til Sembreak. I can't wait.

Crazy
Since last Wednesday, I have been driving myself to school, and since I leave at 5.40 a.m., I arrive in school very early. I realized that now I have the time to spend with the Lord. No more excuses. So instead of the rest I desperately want and kind of need, I go to Church and hear mass instead. I thought I'd feel bad about it, but it actually feels good. There's this something in me that makes me think 'hey, anything bad can happen, but God won't let anything bad happen to me.' It’s like as if I know I'm being guarded by someone or this higher Being. Now I'm more confident with things like school and driving - which I used to be so afraid of.
What a day! We had Ana-Physio at 7 and as usual, the prof arrived at 7.45. Duh. Anyway, we weren't supposed to have a quiz in Digestive System. All he said yesterday was that we should read the chapter on digestive system because we might have a graded recitation on the system. I didn't bother to read last night since I was too tired from duty. But some of my classmates were kind of noisy and the prof got pissed at us, so he gave us a 30 point quiz on Digestive System. I so wanted to strangle him for that. I didn't read the chapter. Didn't even open the book. Lakas ng loob ko eh noh?
He dismissed us right after the quiz, which was at around 8.30. We left for ABS-CBN since we had to do an activity for NSTP. We had lunch at Teriyaki Boy in Tomas Morato at around 11 then went back to Abbie's condo to change for PE. PE was a drag. I thought we'd be playing, but thank God we didn't play. We officiated the game and I was part of the 'committee' coz I was the one keeping the scores. I fell asleep an hour 4 quarters later (8 quarters all in all since there were 2 games). I asked my groupmates to wake me up when someone scores and tell me their jersey numbers. =)
I went to the Country club after school, coz that's where I changed clothes prior to going to Shang. I met my sisters in CPK, and had early dinner there. I also bought Chi a gift in Bayo. Lucky girl ha. I have been saving for a week now since I want to buy something really really fancy for myself. Nabawasan na savings ko. That’s okay. I won’t spend nalang next week. I met Ria outside Bayo and she had dinner at Bon Appetit. I had Tiramisu since I already had dinner. I so missed her.
PICTURES!

deep
School sucks haha
No classes daw tomorrow? There's gonna be a rally tomorrow (as reported by ABS-CBN), because of the opposition. They're obviously not happy with the trashed impeachment complaint against PGMA. Ginugulo pa kasi nila mundo natin. I believe in Rule of Law, and it's about time we stop going to the streets whenever we don't get what we want. Most of the congressmen in the opposition are young and they're still not used to the kind of politics we have. They want change, so do I, but ousting the President isn't gonna improve our country's economy. We need a steady government. And who will be put to office in case PGMA is ousted? Noli de Castro?
We are in deep sh*t.

Missed Gilmore Girls
Back to Karen's debut, everyone looked so beautiful. The Glitterati, self-confessed camera whores, were our usual selves, taking pictures of each other. I missed everyone. Half of our group are in 2-7 already, and we can't do anything about it. What really surprised everyone, especially **y* was EVAN! We didn't expect him to be there! Haha :) It's so sad that he broke up with his girlfriend. I mean, he traded UST to be with his girlfriend in FEU, and well, that's none of my business so I really shouldn't elaborate on it. Anyway, Evan looked handsome! Haha kakatuwa. Reunion talaga.
Since I don't get to watch the US Open every single day, I didn't know that James Blake defeated Rafael Nadal. Cheers for James! I like him. Coz he's Andy's friend and teammate in the Davis Cup :) Also because he's good. Harvard student-turned tennis pro. Nax. Rafael Nadal's good also. James prolly needed the win. I miss Mardy Fish. He's still injured I think, but I'd like to see him on court again. I was able to watch Roger Federer's match with Santoro (don't know the first name). I bet Roger's grab the US Open title this year. I don't like him like him, but he looks like a really nice guy so I can't hate him. I just wish Andy would beat him.
I still have to finish the activity thing for our NSTP.
New pictures uploaded in multiply. Friends, please add me there, my username's dinmontalla. Thanks :)
I missed being with Jaye, Iris and Gra.
I miss being with Inna..
I miss being with Trisha, Jia, Nina, Ria and Aiza..

animo cheers beat ateneo!
Yey!! Wooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooo!!
Ms. School Spirit is so happy again! :)
What's done cannot be undone
No Compromise. with the notebook & pencil in the background eh noh?
may essence pa ni andy. :) We have something or some things in common :) haha
*pagbigyan ang loka. It's true if you try to analyze the whole situation. :)
I'm watching the UST-ADMU on Studio 23 right now. Go USTe! We are on the lead.. Oh Lordy, I hope we win! Galing nga, 2 of the best players of the Tigers are on the bench right now, not playing (Warren's got a sprained ankle) , yet the players are just good. Ayos.
Thank God Prelims are over. I hope I did well. I studied hard for all the subjects, and I hope my hard work will pay off this time. As a treat for my hard work, I went out with my "Sisterhood" friends Inna, Oana and Abbie yesterday. We were joined by Tiffany, Raymund, Rowell, and Paolo (Abbie's friend from her condo). Us girls + Paolo watched the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants which I so loved. We all loved the movie. It's a real chick flick, and I recommend it to all barkadas out there. You should watch it with your closest best friends. As what Inna told me the other day, It was the story of our lives. We find ourselves in the girls' characters. I'm Lena hahaha. I'm very conservative but I could let loose sometimes. I'm a bit misunderstood, and that sucks. I miss Trisha. I wanna watch the movie with her. *sigh* Because of the movie, I am now on a diet. I'm so frustrated with my body. I used to be thin. Well not uber thin, but not this fat/chubby. Hopefully by October I'll still be religiously following my diet.
Since I need to save money for this thing I so want to buy, I will only be spending 200 bucks/week. Yep. Believe it or not, I will be bringing food to school with me, starting Monday. I'll be hitting 2 birds with 1 stone. Diet+the money. Ooh. Because I need money, I had a deal with my Papa this afternoon. If I eat durian, which I loathe (because of the smell), he'll give me 1000 bucks. Ha. I tried eating it and finished what little he gave me. He gave me 500 and I'm making him kulit to give me the other 500 tomorrow :)
I'm gonna party tonight! Ooh, but I'm not at all excited because I'm so tired from this week. It's going to be my Rest Day tomorrow. Sleep all afternoon. *sigh*
NSTP in UST SUCKS! Ugh. We're required to do so many things that we can't understand! As if we have the time to do everything they're asking us to do.
Be happy!

All the love in the world
I woke up at 10.45 this morning, because I stayed up late last night, reviewing for Micropara Lab (which I finished last night) and for Micropara Lec (only 1 more chapter to go, thank God).. After watching Homeboy, forgive me for being so jologs, nagpapakatotoo lang. ;) I started reviewing Chapt 16 (MP Lec), then my Papa came in, asking if he could use the computer.
Then lunch with my family.
The topic on Chi's upcoming birthday party came up, and my mom asked who I'd be inviting, since I was the only one quiet in the table. Papa said right away,"Si Gino." I remained quiet, I hate being teased by my dad. I get scared kasi. Then Chi blurted out, "Di ah Pa! Break na sila ni Gino!" My dad was shocked and was in full-blast teasing mode.
"Kung ayaw na sayo ni Gino, o kahit sino pa, sabihin mo isauli ka saken."
I so wanted to cry. I never heard my Papa say those words to me ever. He's just the best. I love him. Haaay. Funny nga coz last night he saw me still studying at 12am (studying lang. not talking to gino), then he told me enough na daw, to sleep na coz I still have Monday and Tuesday to study. Hay..
Gino said I've been studying too much. I don't think so. I just really have to pull up my grades that's why I've been working so hard.
Right now, I feel so stupid. But that's silly, no one's stupid.

Misery loves company, but company does not reciprocate.
I thought that last week was the worst week of my college life. I was wrong. This week - WORST WEEK EVER. I am so hating myself right now. I'm quite optimistic when it comes to my life, but luck isn't on my side this time.
It's those days when you reflect on what's been happening in your life recently, and you just want to puke because the life you're living isn't the one you've always envisioned yourself in. Back in High School, when I think of what college would be like, I envision myself studying in THAT school, taking up an AB course, no relation to science whatsoever, having fun, being with my boyfriend, and more. What do I get? None of the above. I'm enjoying Nursing, but I can't seem to take the pressure. Maybe I'm like this because I don't get the grades I'm used to having. Back to mediocre grades. But I'm so over mediocrity. I admit, sometimes I'm content with average grades - only when I know I didn't study. Ugh. Everyone seems to be getting high grades, everyone except me. I'm so pissed with myself because though I exert too much effort studying, to the point of getting sick, nothing happens. I still get low grades. I know I could graduate with the grades I'm having, even pass the boards, but I feel bad because I wasn't able to be the best for my parents. That's the problem with me. I think of what I can do for others rather than think of what I can do for myself first, and for others next.
Stop being too sentimental, din. Life's beautiful. :)
Micro-Para is killing me right now. I still couldn't get over the quiz I took this morning in that subject. I was sort of confident that I could answer half of the questions confidently (forgive me for being so redundant. Nalusaw na utak ko). Wala akong masagot kanina. Sobrang tinititigan ko yung papel. Nasaan lahat ng inaral ko?! Nawala lahat. Grr!! Naaalala ko na naman! Move on, din..
I need all the help I could get to have decent grades in Ana-Physio, Funda, and CHN. My funda prof is so unfair. I got high grades in all of my quizzes last grading period, and yet I got a low average. Ugh. Di tama yun eh! I so wanna cuss right now, but I know it's not right. I'm trying to change. Enough of the cussing. I'm thinking of other words I could substitute with the bad words I often use. Think Din.
Prelims next week. I'm so gonna study for it. Have to have high grades.
I so miss High school. *sigh*
One thing to look forward to next week: no duty :)
another thing to look forward to: I'm gonna be driving to school everyday.. I know it's hassle, but what the heck?! At least I don't get impatient while waiting for the driver if I get out earlier than I'm supposed to.

sh*ttiest week ever
I'm now licensed to drive :) haha That's one of the FEW nice things that happened to me this week. Count your blessings diba?
Andy won against Juan Carlos Ferrero yesterday. Another thing to be happy about :) I hope he wins the US Open. . He hasn't won a grand slam in 2 years. As if naman diba, US Open pa lang nga napapanalunang grand slam ni Andy. But I believe in him. :)
I'm chatting with Tito Francis right now. Hay. I miss them..
PE later in the afternoon. Hope we win :)

DEPRESSED
Trisha, don't know how, but Margaux knows you (from our pictures). She saw a picture of us a while ago (wallpaper ng phone ko - sweet noh?) then she said, "didin! tish!" She called you Tish. :)
My back hurts. Because of stress. I am so stressed with everything. 2 more months til Sembreak. I am so looking forward to sembreak. I NEED A BREAK. I'm like a freshman in college, I can't quite adapt to my classes. It's already the 2nd grading period, and I still feel harassed by all the subjects. Then my parents are nagging me about getting my license so I can drive myself to school. They want me to have a license by next week. I'm not looking forward to driving to school because once that happens, I have to leave the house at 5am every single morning - for the parking. Grabe. I don't wanna think about it.
I still love my life though.
Watched If only with Chi and Ate Mae this afternoon as I didn't have PE this afternoon. It was so nice. *sigh* I cried the whole time.. Crybaby, I know.
Gusto ko na bumalik sa High School. Haaay.. Buhay nga talaga.

missing trisha
I woke up at around 10am, took a bath, watched Something's gotta give, had lunch, then at 12.30 left the house for UST. I don't really leave the house 30 mins before my class starts, it's just that I figured that since it's noon,there won't be any traffic. Right? Wrong. It was so traffic. I had a flat tire. And I was so late for my PE class.I know it's just PE, but I like my PE class. It's the only part of the week when I get to really exercise my bodyand really run and do athletic stuff. When I was like 10 minutes from school (and 30mins late), Abbie textedme and told me to go back home, because they were dismissed na. So aside from being marked ABSENT, andnot being able to exercise, I was so pissed. Really pissed. Hay. That's life.
I had my return demo for the Intradermal Injection yesterday and I survived! The only thing that's kindof keeping me sad is the part where I have to have make-up duty because I had long nails DAW - may puti lang nails ko LONG na siya?! Badtrip coz last Wed night, I was contemplating on whether I would cut my nails or not,then I decided against it, coz my nails weren't long naman. Ugh. For the first time in my college life, I didn't become segurista and it backfired. I wanted to get mad at myself, but then I said, it's gonna make me a better person. I'm trying to erase the fact that next saturday morning won't be a fun morning because I have to wake up at 6am for my duty. I have to. :)
My parents are finally coming home on Sunday and I so can't wait! I'm not looking forward to pasalubongs, because I didn't ask for anything except and iPod. I just miss them. Plus, my most awaited Andy Roddick wristbands. :) I asked my uncle to buy 1 for me, and he bought 5 :) haha can you imagine me wearing a baller id? Neither can I. But it's something that links me to Andy. So, I like it. :) He has one. I have one. It's all good. :)

harrassed
My parents are finally coming home on Sunday. Goody! I miss them so much.. :(
So many things to do, so little time. That's been my favorite line since school started. Prolly because that's how things are for me right now. Ugh.
Can you imagine me playing basketball? Aba, starting 5 ata ito noh. Haha no joke :) Our prof wanted 3 girls and 2 boys in the starting 5. There are only 4 girls in my team, 1 is absent. So Abbie, Ruffa Mae and I had to play. For 3 consecutive quarters. Minus the time-outs and the halftime. I kept yelling, "SUB!!" coz I couldn't breathe and move properly anymore. Our prof didn't want the boys to play yet, coz the team we were playing only had 4 boys. Ugh, badtrip noh? Anyway, naawa din naman ung propesor namin nung matapos ang 3rd quarter. Duh. Sugurin kaya nila ko sa Health Service noh. Kung di ako tumigil maglaro malamang asa stretcher na ko nung gitna ng 4th quarter. May puso din pala prof namin. I had tachycardia. 115+ ppm. Hala na. :)
I still have to finish my NCPs. Ugh. Our CHN prof taught us to administer intradermal and intramuscular medications this afternoon. Thank God I didn't faint. I almost did. I don't think I could do it. I'm still not yet sure if the Return Demo for the ID will be on Thursday or next week. Hopefully next week, so I have more time to prepare (AND PRAY) haha
I just read Trisha's email for me. I'm so glad she's doing okay there. I really really miss her. I'll reply to your email soon trisha.. On Thursday, PROMISE.. I have so many kwentos to tell you so expect my email to be a really looooooooong one.. It's Papa's birthday on Friday, the party's on Sunday. I was about to text you ba naman this morning, inviting you to the party. Then I remember.. Trisha's in Canada na pala. Same thing happened to me last Sunday, when Abbie and I watched the UST-NU game. Abbie told me to text all my friends to watch the game, baka daw makita kami sa TV. I almost sent a message to Trish. hay. Miss you Sweetie.. LOVE YOU!

chillin for the first time
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. :)
