ciao!

i’m so uber bored with this blog that i’ve decided on moving to blogspot… why?

1. i can’t do any scripts…
2. it’s hard to change the layout (though their designs are so cool).
3. can’t edit my links since its connected with the template..
4. that annoying numbers that i have to enter just to make a tag..

actually, there are a lot more, but i’m so tired of enumerating them 1 by 1… anyhow, here’s the new link if you don’t mind…

thanks!!!

daydreaming…

i want to start a video blog pero la ako webcam… hehe did try it on my vid cam pero hassle siya… gotta save more money…

scrapping my plans of buying a video ipod.. its so damn pricey and i’ve just realized that its hard watching a video on a small screen.. hehe

bought a new bag today… kala ko around 1000 bucks lang jansport, e halos 2000 na yun nabili ko… hehe where have all the classic jansport bags have gone???

nanininbago ako using this laptop… it’s so bright i can’t make the monitor darker… i’m so lazy to read the manual e, so i’ll just buy na lang the tint na kinakabit… hehe

uhm, un lang.. hehe

nursing 101

isang oras na akong nakatunganga dito sa harap ng pc ko thinking about an entry to type. actually, nakalima na ata ako but i kept on erasing them once i’ve reach the end since i don’t feel like posting them just yet. labo ko ano…. hehe

i’ve been thinking of my upcoming duty sa hospital a week from now. i’ve been thinking if i’ll be as good in a hospital setting as i am in a classroom setting. I know, they’re like apples to oranges, but i’ll just be applying what i’ve learn from the school to the hospital, right? ewan!

but i’m glad that in two more years, i’ll be done with it. I’m planning to take a break after that, but thinking about my future, that plan seems to be futile. Kelangan kasi ng at least a years worth of work experience in order for me to apply a job for abroad, unless i do get high grades in the board exams, which i’m hoping that i might. Ang saya nito, walang pahinga til i reach 30. (it’s exaggerated, i know, but with all the paperworks and the 5 years residency requirements abroad, yeah, 30 is quite right… hehe)

I did want to enter a medical school after finishing nursing. Actually, ito yung one of the reasons i took this course, pero my sis is taking up Bio with plans of taking up medicine din. If ever, magsasabay kami mag medicine, which is so freakingly expensive. My mum might kill us both. That’s why i’m giving her the opportunity, total, UP naman siya e. She’ll have higher future in that career than i am.. hehe

hay, buhay nga naman. ito talaga ang napapala ng walang magawa…. e kung umuulan nga naman kasi sa labas, ano pa ba pwede magawa kundi ang mag net nga lang naman…. hehe

later!

ETA:

bakit ayaw ng script ng blog na to… kaasar naman oh..

stop playing matchmaking with me!

why can’t people just mind their own business and just leave me alone. I’m fine being alone, i don’t need anything else. My life is quite complete and it seems to be for a couple more years. I just hate it when you keep on forcing someone to come in into my life when i really don’t need one. I’ve decided quite a few years back that it’s better to be single than in the hands of someone else, and i would stand by that decision. Maybe i’ll be longing for one, but not soon. I’m happy with just me, myself and I.

i’m not closing my thoughts on relationship just now, it’s been close since way back in high school. maybe i should have taken up priesthood back then, but it’s too much of a hassle. I don’t think that i’m commitment-phobic, i’m just not the regular man who wants to always be in the company of a woman. Neither am i afraid of them, i’m always in a company of one, i’m just not ready for any types of relationship until my plan for myself is complete.

the most that i can offer is friendship and nothing else. i can’t move a step further since that would just ruin my plans. i’m happy at where i am now, so please, just bear with it.

i’ve just walked out of lunch just now because of it. i just can’t bear being pressured to sit with someone that they wanted me to court. I’m not saying that she ain’t right, she is in fact nice and all that, but i’ve already explained to them a couple of times that i’m not into relationships, and they still keep on bugging me about it. They’ve just keep on introducing me to different girls, but i really am not going there yet. No offense to the girl, but i am really happy at where i am now. I am more than happy to be friends with her, but that’s just it, nothing more.

so please, stop doing this to me, cause i surely won’t bite. i’m not looking for love right now!

and the rains keeps pouring…

while my subjects remains to be boring…

first day of class. boring as hell. stupid CIs. grr…

anyways, nakaenroll na ako at lahat lahat pero kanina ko pa nakuha ang final grades ko for last summer… galing ko talaga, kilala naman ako ng clinical coordinator namin, who is also the one handling the enollment for nursing students, and alam naman nya na wala akong naibabagsak na subjects so she just lets me enroll without even showing her my grades… And besides, nakapagpinning naman ako so that only means na pasado lahat ng sinummer ko…

actually, nakita ko na sila a few weeks ago, pero yung iba kasi nagtataas pa before submitting it dahil nga to accomodate those na me kakayahan magduty pero medyo pumalya sa exams. Okay na ko sa grades ko kahit until now e la pa rin ako grade sa NCM (kasi naman up to now e di pa rin nagpaparamdam yun CI namin). so here’s a rundown of my grades:

NCM100: not yet submitted

RLE: 87

Microbio & Pasitology Lec: 88

Microbio & Parasitology Lab: 90

Nutrition: 86

i’m just hoping na maretain yung 90 na grade ko sa NCM para DL nanaman… hehe (sarap talaga magyabang minsan. lol)

ETA: The title is quite literal, lakas ng ulan dito sa min… basa ako pag-uwi. hehe

when time flies fast… and i mean FAST

haha, i keep on going on and off with this blog.. lol I was busy formatting my new notebook and with some other stuffs as well. I got the Acer one since it’s pretty cheap for a branded notebook, and, it’s the nicest looking one of the bunch even though the specs aren’t that much good as the others are…

Let’s see, .where shall i start… Oh yeah, i went to another root canal ’surgery’ last monday.. It’s the fourth one, i think, that i’ve gone so far… the weird thing is, its the only tooth that seems to be rotten since my other teeth are fine and i always visit my dentist… oh well.

Then i also went to the hospital after the root canal thingy for a hepatitis b screening… Good thing i tested negative for hepatitis which now leaves me with only one screening left, TB, before i can finally start my hospital duty this month, i think.. hehe Speaking of hospital duties, i hope my group would be given the 11-7 shift so that there ain’t that much to be done and that i have my whole morning and afternoon for other stuffs i now rarely do because of classes. nyahaha

Had my pinning ceremony last friday, that’s capping for girls… It wasn’t as solemn as i thought it would be… The practices seems to be, but the ceremony was certainly not.. Well, the CIs can’t regulate us that much in front of our parents, right? But anyways, i’m finally done with that Associate course and i’ll be starting my Bachelor’s study tomorrow.

I did a small part in that pinning ceremony btw. I read the first reading for the mass, and it was a mess as i thought it would be… First, the organizer told me not to move the mic since it was already pre-arranged for the priest, but i am too tall and the priest is so short, so i was left speaking with the mic quite far from my mouth, and the people at the back can hardly hear me. Add in the fact that i’m a fast talker that what i think was slow was still fast for a reader in a mass, that according to my mum, wasn’t solemn enough. The hell with the organizers, why pick a reader for a mass with such a fast-talking guy like me…

 I’ve found this chinese herbal med which my friends keep on telling me that i should take… It’s an appetite enhancing medicine called Ling Zhi so when i passed by a chinese medicine store earlier, i hesistantly bought s bottle just to try it out. I have this problem of gaining weight for quite some time now so i’m really hoping that this works. They say you can feel its effect in a couple of days, let’s see if it indeed is true. hehe

It’s raining hard outside, and the cable’s out, good thing my dsl’s still on but it’s going a bit slow now, hoping it won’t die down now… lol I am still downloading something. nyahaha Oh well, til next time!

shopping for a notebook

okay, yesterday’s thing has yet to get ressolved. maybe tomorrow when i see my CI at school. But i’m quite fine now especially after finding out that most of my grades aren’t that dreadful afterall, especially when more than half of the class has grades below 80. But still, i deserve that grade. hehe

going on to a different topic… I’ll be buying a laptop this friday, and i can’t still decide which one i should get. I have an awfully low budget but it would do since i’m just looking for a cheapo on which i can bring to school during defenses or at the hospital when i have projects. Budget is just around 40k (approx. $350), which is just enough to get me what i need, but i still has to decide on which one should i get.

First one on the list is this ECS TRANSMETA CRUSOE A530 PLUS NOTEBOOK (PhP 29,888.00). It’s so amazingly cheap and it contains almost everything that i wanted in a notebook, except for a Wi-fi connection. Processor’s kind of slow but it would do for its price.

Then, there is this ACER TRAVELMATE 2413NLCI NOTEBOOK (PhP 39,777.00) with a super hot specs… The only problem with this one is i won’t have any money left if i buy this, but its so damn tempting, and it’s Acer….

Last on the list is this MSI MEGABOOK M520-V VALUE CELERON NOTEBOOK (PhP 35,799.00). Though it runs only in Celeron, i’m loving it’s cooling system. I also like the graphics and it’s 15″. I know it’s quite big but i love big monitors…. hehe

still have three more days to contemplate on what to buy, but i’m more incline on picking the MSI one, though it’s not well known, i like it’s specs, but i just hate its external features though, it’s so black… hehe

the end… sort of

haha, it’s been almost three weeks since i’ve last been here… neways, been busy with quite a few things so surely, this entry would be a long one.

technically, my summer vacation should have had officially started today since my summer classes ended last friday, yet, we are required to go to school for our capping and pinning ceremony practice, which, eats out the rest of my planned break..

found out my grades in some of my subjects this afternoon, and frankly, it’s sort of depressing… my nutrition fell down 2 points from 87 to 85, which is fine since i know i flunked the final exam… my Related Learning Exposure went 2 points up though, from 85 to 87, but it has a lesser bearing to my GPA than of the Nutrition subject. And it really sucks since i’m expecting a higher grade from this since my grades especially in my quizzes and skills skyrocketed as compared to my midterm standings.. grrr

But what bothers me the most is my NCM100 grade. I didn’t know how or why my recorded grade in the school for midterm is 90 wherein it should have been 93 in the first place. People who has grades almost same as i gets higher grades, even the people whom i let copy my quizzes and exams has higher grades than i… I’ve been trying to contact that certain professor to settle his mistake though he seem to be unreachable, and because of that, it makes me more anxious to see him more. I’m trying my best to make my grades Dean lister’s worthy, i just can’t settle with a 90 when i know i should have gotten a 93…

with my microbio lec and lab, i think i wouldn’t have problems with those especially with my lab since i’ve got the highest grade in her final exam… my only worry about my lec grade is she always tend to miscalculate my grade. she’s given me a 77 for my midterm grade whereas it should have been 87. i don’t know how she did it, but hell with her if she does it one more time.

i’m so tired today but i’m so mad finding out my grades. my NCM should really be ammended, since i wouldn’t be settled with a simple sorry. I’ve really worked my ass out for that grade, that knowing it just now makes me wanna flame that CI up. I really have a good relationship with that CI that i don’t want it to get ruined but… i should stop ranting!!!

that’s too much for today, maybe i should just finish this one up tomorrow… i’m so uhm, irritated and mad right now!

***ETA: Okay, i was planning on doing a whole lot different entry than this one, but it went on a different flow, somewhere where i didn’t wanted it to go, but whatever, i’ve already uploaded this one, so why do another one… still feeling deprived of a much deserved grade…

a 3-day break

hay salamat, after almost 4 months of dial-up internet, balik na naman akong dsl… hehe bakit ko pa kasi pinacut noong, tuloy, nagalit mom ko dahil di na daw magamit yung phone ng gabi, yun tuloy, siya na nagpakabit… hehe

kamalasan nga lang at sira yung speakers ko, walang lumalabas na sound dun sa left one, kaya ayan, mapipilitan nanaman akong bumili… magkano ba speakers ngayon? alam ko merong mga 150, pero la kwenta yung mga yun, super basag yung sound na lumalabas… hehe

pasukan nanaman pala bukas, e di pa ako tapos magrecharge. super kakapagod pala 10 hrs straight na class, kala ko okay lang siya, di pala.. hay, 3 more freaking weeks.

siya nga pala, exam week na nga rin… super patong patong mga things this week, i still need to organize my block’s practice for the capping ceremonies… kaasar, tinatamad ako i-search yung mga lyrics. hehehe

pero sino ba naman ang di maasar kung ang pinili na mga songs ng mga CI namin e mga songs na di namin kayang kantahin. As in super tataas nila… Sa pagkakaalam ko kasi, ito ung list, Songs for the Parents: “Glowing Inside by Nikki Gil (na super baduy)”, Candle Lighting Song: “The Prayer by Andrea Bocelli feat. Celine Dion (Duh. Tenor siya plus yung boses ni Celine super taas din plus me italian lyrics siya…)”, Capping Song:”A moment like this by Kelly Clarkson (mataas pa rin siya. hehe)”, and Batch Song: “yung song sa Hercules na di ko maalala dahil sobrang baduy”. Super corny kalalabasan nitong capping ceremony na to.. hehe

yun na muna, tinatamad na ring akong mgtype. kanina pa kasi ako nagtytype ng notes ko e… yan kasi, ayaw gumamit notebook, puro photocopy lang… hehe

guys are like turtles and some other things

…uhm, we had a meeting last monday regarding the capping and pinning ceremonies after this sem. How will i put this, uhm, yeah, my classmates suck. For a six hour ceremony, they’ve agreed to feed the people only lasagna and chicken with salad, i think. Uhm, that’s not enough. Oh, and adding insults to that, the CI chose all the songs without even consulting us, sort of! It sucks… Oh, and another thing, I’m heading my class, which difinitely suck too. I don’t have that much time to even bother arranging stuffs for my capping!

…i keep on forcing myself to wake up early nowadays just to reach my first class at 8. I’m so exhausted going home at 6, then doing my assignments after that, then some net and some tv, i don’t have time for relaxation anymore. (Though tv and net seems to be a type of relaxation, it’s still a stressor). Can’t wait for this summer to end.

…hated Microbio lec. I can’t freakingly understand a thing. My prof’s too unorganized that after explaining a virus would go back explain a part of microscopy and back to bacterial parts. We’re all lost during her discussion.

…”guy’s are like turtles, they are so slow.” That is what’s written on Ms. Aubrey’s shirt yesterday, and Mommy Emmie keeps on teasing me that that was really for me. Uhm, i said, “huh?”, and she said, “Ba’t di mo pa kasi ligawan?”. Like i have plans to court someone right now, and especially a CI. And she has just broken up with her boyfriend. The hell, I’m not going to court her, and that’s final.. Lol

on the verge of a nervous breakdown

Everything seems to be in a fast pace in school this past two days that it is killing most of us… Imagine being in school for 10 straight hours with just a fifteen minute break thanks to the courtesy of one of your Clinical Instructors. There’s no way i can eat that fast especially when a third of that time is wasted on your way down the canteen and back to your room.

The lectures are also in a fast state since there are only five weeks slated for summer with one week designated for practice for the capping and pinning ceremony after that. Add the daily quizzes we have in almost all of our subject in that mix, and what will you get? that’s right, a nervous breakdown.

Oh well, at least it’s just four more weeks of hell and its over. What the hell am saying, if only i could get some consolation like higher grades this time around, ut having the clinical instructors that i have, it’s a dimmed dream. I can’t understand a thing at my Microbiology lecture class. She seems like she doesn’t know anything that she is teaching to us, she just say anything that comes out of her mind, and to top that, well be reporting starting next week. The hell with her.

Nutrition is quite alright, except for the daily quizzes. Foundations of nursing, i don’t know what to say. I like the CI alot, except that he’s really hurrying us during our lectures, maybe he just wants us to finish early. Microbio lab, hmm, no problems about that one, i’m really thanking her that she’s back after being gone for a while coz she’s one of the best prof i ever had.

Lastly, Related Learning Experience. They’re aight, though they are really low graders. We had this return demo yesterday about bed bath, and i only got 86. It’s sad since i did had a higher grade when i performed it last sem with another CI. Oh, and if you’re wondering why I’m having this demo again, it’s because my block did finished early last sem that we had advance classes.

Speaking of bed bath, that was such an awkward thing when i was the one being bathed by John, i was laughing so had coz he keeps on tickling me, though not intentional. It’s awkward being bathed wide awake by someone you know. I hate doing that, and to top that, some of my blockmates (girls) keeps on passing by our station even though we’re performing. I hate being seen ‘naked’. Nyahaha

But thinking about it, maybe this is much better than what the other blocks are having. Rochelle told me that in her new block, they haven’t even started their lectures, and in some blocks, the instructors seems worse than ours. Oh well, maybe that’s my consolation. But still, there’s still four more weeks of hell…. Argh!

Food trip

ang sarap talaga ng first day ng classes, walang ginagawa kaya ayun, lamon lang ako ng lamon… hehehe

parang strict na walang alam yung teacher namin sa Microbiology, parang di pa nga siya ready dahil as in kahit man lang intro sa subject, wala man lang siyang nasabi… Nagbigay nga agad ng assignment wala din namang kuwenta. pero okay siya, humingi kami ng break nagbigay naman agad siya, kaya labas kami agad at kumain… Dahil 15 mins lang, sa canteen na ako ng lunch, giniling ata yun at 1 rice at coke, la kasi C2 apple e… dahil nasarapan sa pagkain, nalate tuloy ako, buti na lang at madami akong kasama.

2nd Class, si Sir Tolero nanaman… Ang bait nya pero parang naghahabol siya ng oras ngayon dahil nga daw 5 weeks lang ang summer at NCM100 class nya, kaya ayon, siya lang ang ang may discussion na class ko, pero okay pa rin naman siya. Patawa pa rin ng patawa.

After noon, nagyaya si Mommy Emy na kumain sa labas dahil Bday nya nung bakasyon. Yun, sumama ako, sayang din kasi, pagkain din yun e… Nag KFC kami kasama si Mam Guinto at Mam Catalan. Iba talaga mga prof namin pag asa labas, friends kami pero pag nasa loob ng room, professional relationship daw… hehe

Last class ko si Mam Catalan, Microbio lab. Ayon, as always, la seatwork at daldalan ginawa namin… first day naman e…

Ano pa ba? Ayon, nalaman ko ngayon lang na 52% lang ng third year sa school namin ang nakapasa ng NCM102 nila… Grabe, sobrang hirap ba talaga nun at halos kalahati ng year e bagsak… Humihingi daw sila ng remedial exam pero ayaw sila pagbigyan ng Admi dahil daw against daw yun ng policy ng school. kakaawa nga sila kanina e, iyakan sa quad.

Eto, kadadating ko lang sa bahay, at lamon nanaman ginagawa ko e dinner na rin mamaya… ang takaw ko talaga ngayon, ewan ko ba.. hehe

Bad hair day

Note to Self: Never ever let a female hairdresser do my hair again…

Nursing. Bakit pa kasi kailangang maikli ang buhok ng lalaki. Sa ibang school naman hindi strict e, bakit sa amin, sobrang pinapansin.

Pasukan nanaman bukas at mahaba na ang buhok ko kaya wala akong magagawa kundi ang pagupitan ito. Ilang ulit na nga akong napagsabihan dahil ang tamad kong magpagupit kaya inunahan ko na si Dean at baka makita nya ako uli bukas.

Wala si Jommel, kaya napilitan akong kay Jerry na lang magpagulit. Sabi nung mga nag-aasist sa David’s e mas matino pa daw si Jerry kaya umoo na lang ako kaysa sa bumalik pa ako bukas, ala-sais pa naman uwian ko. Tinanong nya ako kung ano ang gusto to, sabi ko naman ay “i-barber’s ng konti yung likod at konting bawas lang sa gilid”. Umoo naman siya, kala ko’y naintindihan nya ito, pero, tangina, hindi pala.

Binarber’s nya pati yung sa gilid ka kabilin-bilinan ko’y bawasan nya lang. Sarap nyang patayin noong mga panahong iyon pero may hawak siyang gunting at blade, baka ano pa ang magawa niya sa akin. Buti na lang sana kung hindi ganon kataas yung gupit na ginawa niya, bullshit talaga siya.

Aasarin nanaman ako nung mga yun bukas, putsa kasi. Buti na lang at madaling humaba ang buhok ko, pero isang buwan ko ding pagtitiisang pahabain ito. Grr!

Ayon, la tuloy siyang tip. hehehe

Isang malaking kalokohan

Alam ko na ngang walang pasok ngayon, ang aga ko pang gumising. Kasi naman, tatanga tangang nakalimutang baguhin yung setting ng alarm clock ayan tuloy ang napala.

Isang malaking kaaksayahan nanaman ang araw na ito. Wala na lang akong inatupag kundi manood ng mga nakaimbak na DVD ng kapatid ko at matulog. Bakit pa kasi inurong ang araw ng pasukan.

Matino pala ang ‘Prime’, yung movie ni Meryl Streep at Uma Thurman. Kala ko walang kuwentang girl flick siya pero actually, dami akong natutunan. Ewan ko ba kung bakit sobrang relate ako dun sa guy sa movie di naman ako artistically incline. Siguro, dahil medyo may pagkakahawig ang relation natin towards our mothers. Kung ano man yun, panoorin nyo na lang. Ganda nga ng reaction ni Meryl Streep nung sinabi ng character ni Uma na nakipag-sex na yung anak nya two times before her e… Classic!

Tapos ano pa ba? Ayon, sobrang ayos ng ‘Saw II’. Nakakabilib yung twist, akala ko alam ko na ang ending, di pala. Can’t wait for ‘Saw III’ this November, sana nga lang mas maaga ipalabas dito sa ‘Pinas. hehe

Naalala ko pala, saktong isang buwan na lang pala at ‘The Da Vinci Code’ na. Halos isang taon ko na rin hinhintay na maipalabas ito dahil bago pa man sumikat ang librong ito dito ay nabasa ko na ito. Ang dami ko na ngang kausap na manonood nito e, magmula sa kapatid ko hanggang sa mga CIs ko. Sana nga lang ay may pera ako.

Ito talaga ang nagagawa kapag wala kang magawa. Pati pag-iisip mo, medyo wala ring gana. Hanep talaga.

another more day…

Kahapon pa ako kinukulit ni John kung sa monday na nga ba talaga ang umpisa ng pasukan. Ako naman, oo na lang ng oo dahil yun ang sabi noong nagpaenrol ako at yun din kasi ang nakasulat sa website ng school, pero bakit daw sabi ng iba e sa April 19 pa daw. Ewan ko ba, nainis ata yung gago at naniwala din sa akin.

Pero kaninang umaga e nagtext si din si Ate Rosie at nagtatanong kung sa 19 pa daw ba ang klase. ‘Ang kukulit talaga ng mga tao,’ yan na lang ang napaisip ko. Sinagot ko siya na bukas na ang pasok pero susubukan kong itext ang mga CI namin baka talagang naurong ang umpisa ng pasukan sa Miyerkules.

Siyempre, ako naman, bigla ng tinext si Mam Izobel dahil nagtataka na rin ako’t dalawa na ang nagsasabing postponed ang summer ng dalawang araw. Sumagot naman siya na naurong nga daw talaga para mabigyan oras daw ang mga estudyanteng umuwi sa kani-kanilang probinsya na makabalik sa lungsod.

Iyon, napahiya tuloy ako kay John at kay Ate Rosie. Ipinaalam ko na rin sa iba naming ka-block na naurong nga ang pasukan. Hirap talaga ng trabaho ng class president, ako na lang lagi takbuhan ng mga tao. hehe

Sayang, gusto ko na sanang pumasok dahil paubos na ang disposable na pera ko at wala na talaga akong magawa dito sa bahay. Kungsabagay, dalawang araw na nga lang naman. Sana, miyerkules na…

A new beginning

It’s easter, and a new life is created.

I always am looking for a blog server that can cater to my needs and Blogdrive seems to have that, except that i was looking for something like Tabulas with a gallery feature yet easier to manage. I was also looking for something that i can create layouts as fast as i can (unlike in blogdrive where i can’t find a link to download one so it takes me days to do a blog layout from scratch). I’ve found all of that here in i.ph so i’m hoping this wouldn’t dismay me.

I’m just moving actually, since i still use the same blog name and the with the same stuffs from the old blog. I don’t know why i move so fast that the other blog hasn’t even reach a month yet. Oh well.

patience please

[jabber.i.ph] hasn’t put this blog together yet.

Come back soon to see a great i.ph blog, and some cool pictures. Better yet, go to www.i.ph and get one for yourself.
