Second to the Last Semester :)

gradeslip says, "hi world!"

hahaha

I got my gradeslip today, at around 14:21, claimed with an "I-just-got-out-from-the-laundry" test permit (because my mom dumped my bag on the laundry trying to get it cleaned up --which I eventually did), with at least 5 clinical instructors watching me hand it out to the administrator of the grade slips.

Funnier thing during that moment was , my friend has left his test permit again! :p first was during the signing of clearance/issuance of finals stamp.

I was so disappointed with myself, for not fighting for at least some point higher grade... a Full Scholarship requirement is a grade not lower than 1.75 and an average of not lower than 1.50.

To think of it, a "0.08" point difference from that cutoff would cost me about, say, P22,000. Imagine what I could have done with that money. It's enough to pay for a review center in preparation for the Nursing Licensure Exams! o_o

I think I was very productive yesterday :)

Yesterday, council mates JR and I had our own jaunt, if you may, in Manila... the thrill of being granted the chance of going out of town, without spending any money from your own pocket during schooldays! How I loved the concept. ;) Watching planes launching and landing gave me excitement, since I have always wanted to be an in-flight nurse, he wanted to be a pilot. Cooooool! ^^,

We were supposed to claim the pre-ordered plaques for the upcoming CAM (College of Allied Medicine) week, keenly searching for the store with the same address as with the given receipt, our only map.

Much to our surprise, the owner was not there, and he was actually already talking to one of the staff. We inquired about our orders, the phone guy requested for one of us and *wait for it* IT WAS NOT YET READY! After all the dusty, smoky traffic we have gotten ourselves into for an hour and a half, the stalking of a student whose school was supposed to be from across the street, the excitement of taking home the gold from the mine, *poof!* it burst my bubble.

So we had no choice left but to take responsibility of having another task: buying swim wear for the pageant's segment of showing off your body and having confidence on it. Of course, it was never a busy job. We wasted time scouting for shops nearby, and people were just directing us somewhere we were not looking for. Funny how we were instructed to find a certain place when it was actually what we skipped before heading somewhere else. XD

This is me, "trying out" the *gulps* one-piece bathing suit the contestants are about to wear, taking a photo for future reference :p We almost thought this moment would not arrive, since we only found the 90's type of bathing suit in the previous stalls we were in. And wow...how I wished I brought money for the trip. Everything on display was what my eyes were craving for. -.-

We were bargaining this violet suit for a lower price, which took a while, and when we finally decided on a price, that's when we knew that there was only 1 piece of the thing...and what? we needed 8 of the same kind!!!! -.-

.........

anyway, we headed back to school after a quick meal at the jeep, on the bus, after sleeping throughout the distance. 3 hours late! and I was assigned reporter for the day. how pathetic. -.-

I love my teacher for still allowing us to take part in her class that day *which was reportedly similar to a school program which began with our classmates singing The Prayer!!! :))))) funeeeh! XD

Ronald Rosas?

The last post I had had been commented by I think one of my former classmates. Could it really be Ronald Melvin Rosas, who used to be one of the reasons why I enjoyed my third year in high school, was him?

I remember having mistaken someone whom I thought was from my "history" or my class, or somewhere else when it was actually one of the special people on my life long list of friends. ;) It was too much embarrassing because I have thought of people from out of nowhere, even him who would never actually call, especially that it has been long enough for us to talk (again). *We just saw each other recently after almost three years*.

I was acting like funny in a romantic way, when he was actually not on my list which I mentioned. haha, too funny to remember! ;)

What I did then was to tell him to introduce first before talking and all because of that incident. Since then, he was like, "hello, this is *****"...in favor of me. hahaha.

Anyway, whoever you may be, come back please? :)

currently here at school.

We're studying html today, like we did when we were seniors...and yes, there's a desire to stand out by using MS Frontpage for more options and all. Too bad, it was already deleted from my program files since we reformatted our pc... Through chat last night, he was at least making efforts to make it available, for me (and my selfish desires.)

This day is as boring as ever - contrary to what I was expecting last night. I was busy trying to review for our lessons and at least read our handouts for anticipated quizzes as announced by our instructors. I woke up early just to be on time (and I was already panicky knowing that there's only 5 minutes left before 7:30.) As I climb up the plight of stairs to the room at the end of the hallway, I found myself almost alone. I was the third one to land my feet on our class's grounds.

What turned out to happen was:

1. Our first instructor did not attend class. What we did instead was finish errands for our clearances and had our test permits imprinted with the final seal needed. (It was the best time, I must say. Just this afternoon, our corridors were filled with people too many to be accommodated.)
2. We were given a chance to choose: either to make our finals' test I and record it as quiz or we take the quiz without any studying done. We chose the former, but it's like as if we chose the wrong one. There was an imminent response from him, mind you, saying, "Dapat sigurado kayo sa pinili niyo a?"
3. My handout in this third subjectwas already wet for all the times I was handling (and reading) it as we run duties from up and down the stairs.
4. We just had our final class in PE and it was pen-and-paper style - with one simple instruction: list down everything you learned during the sem.

Much for that, I realized, I need to savor every moment... I need to make it last because it would be the last week that this semester would last.

one down, two to go.

Talking about the last straw, I have been seriously having mine early yesterday. I was late for class for the nth time, and so my teacher decided AGAIN not to touch, even just glance, over our research paper which made me, even Arnie, to lack sleeping hours!

I really have been running late in the morning, but what I did choose to do before I leave our village was to get back up to running home because I left something unnecessarily important - my lunch. I was stupid enough to consider heading back home because I failed to see the effort my mom gave in preparing my lunch. So there, I was left out with a bigger consequence. :(

Another problem is with my friends back in UPLB. I have failed to visit them for the nth time, though there were no appointments really, (except for the birthdays I have missed). There's Cathy's, Arian's and now Renz's. I really wanted to go, truly. Unfortunately, my schedule has always been wrapped up. Especially during Tuesdays and Fridays on which their birthdays have fallen upon.

The things I really consider of a problem with these issues are: time, company and money.

First, time because of my schedule and all. During Mondays, I have to be in Batangas from 8-5 pm and of course, there are extra curricular activities waiting to be done. Also, having some kind of an organization would mean tasks to do and things to get started. When do we meet? Every saturday. There's also times when I have to go to Parañaque to stay overnight because of family and church affairs.

Company, pointins directly to my friends over there. Of course, since they are with each other for the rest of their college activities whether academic or not, they have grown close enough to make me feel out of place everytime I visit.

And of course, with our depressing economy, ...nuff said.

Then, there's someone who got mad at me. Lamely because of a certain truth I have emphasized thru text which did not even involve anybody else but a few people in our class. While we reconciled after some time the next day after, a few minutes later, our other close friend remembered about the text and therefore I answered his question. Then again, he laughed about finding out IN FRONT of him, and there he went furious again. It took me 5 days before I got our friendship back with numerous talks involving different people about our situation.

I missed everything we used to share, especially when people were talking about Photoshop and Cadbury Fruit and Nut - which we have been enjoying commonly among ourselves. Then, about a minute before we leave school, there he was smiling at me and then I had my tears bulge up along my outer canthus (?).

Not that I'm crushing on him or anything (as anyone has been thinking), I remain true to our friendship. Besides, I'm enjoying my time spent with .... XD

.....O_O

Cindy, Zaida and Chelcy (who was having her 13th birthday today) went here just this afternoon to spend some time with each other. Unfortunately, my mom and I have been at Crossing to run some errands. Our trip also included having to spree around the city and do some on-the-list shopping with my mom, with the addition of many other things unconsciously bought. XD

Pizza, which they themselves bought at the local pizza parlor, was served together with milkshakes they bought on their own. My mom and I had loathed Cindy since she did not gave us time to prepare for her visitors. Instead, I found my mom cook lunch for us [at around 3pm!]

Yesterday was Nicher's (arnie's nephew from his cousin) first birthday. I was invited, but I did not come since my classes ended at 7 pm already! I would have loved to come lest he fetched me (haha) because my mom also wanted me to come for the food. hahaha, talk about eating! XD

About school, I was so stupid to inform Jam about ____'s plan to leave. Why? Maybe I was so stricken with grief since I found out that ____ would leave in the near future also! XC Like, it's the nth news I heard about leaving school and transferring to other place and continue studying in that place! It's not that I want them to have a hard time to leave, but of course, who would want to be away from your close friends! Those whom you already considered as part of your life( and things of the same context)...

who EVER made such decision?!

Just this morning, I was out of the first group which I was supposed to be in! I hate it when it happened - that my group mates and I be separated from each and every one from the group I used to be with, and from the CI whom I have grown close to.. XC

Much to my surprise was someone's overwhelming reaction to my moving out moment. He even motioned to go on bended knees, which is I think for fun only. O.o Then my critics [?!] have been laughing off because they knew I wanted NOT to move out, all eyes were staring with various emotions wanting me to be more quiet.

This morning, after the grievous announcement, I have tried to compensate for the loneliness by being comfortable with my new CI and my new group mates who are also actually part of my clique. I even tricked Ms. Nucup to admit that she still does bar hopping and all! haha. Stupid me! XD [she actually fell for it..XP]

There's a new dean, and in the process of disseminating facts through all the staff of our school, we had an early dismissal, 2 hours before our official end of classes, and we had to eat lunch, so we had 3 hours spent for extracurricular activities.

What we did was we went to Sheryl's place and ate free, sumptuous meal; played around with each other and with the baby, watched Miss Universe [which did not include our country's bet] and prepared for whatever we had to do before heading out to school...

Before moving up into a jitney, we were startled to have like more than one bus parked beside the market. We asked in which 'school' were they from, and we like fainted for one's answer: "CEU".

Back to Sheryl's house, the dilemma of either cutting classes or going back was raised because it has been so much of an idle time we just wanted to rest and sleep. We went back anyway since we were worried [or am I the only one?] of quizzes usually given at the following subjects about to take place...but everybody knows we did ample discussion and were given assignments for future topics to be reported. How rude.

During our last period, we were missing Ms. Susa that we were comparing the replacement to her. Well, I couldn't argue with that since it's really evident that our former CI is much better. To kick things off, Girlyn and I were passing notes on lyrics about being heartbroken. Boredom rules! hahaha.. and it's a good sign that I am NOT HEARTBROKEN anymore because I have found my joy. [and where did I just get that?!]

Before going home, I just had to have some treats! What I did get for myself was box of 3 of Gonuts Donuts which opened just recently. It's really very delightful, and I had to be grateful for having done so. I enjoyed my night. XD [pg alert!]

Then there's Enzo, whom Girlyn's tears were falling out for...

can't sleep!

would you imagine I actually slept late last night like 11 pm already and have risen at 2am?! It's earlier that I am actually awake because I'm having some discomfort knowing that I haven't studied for our return demo regarding vital signs! hahaha...

After my study from 2-4, I tried to sleep like in one hour so that I could regain my energy and something else I need, but that doesn't help much because I was having like butterflies in my stomach and was cold, so I thought I need to relax a bit, and here I was updating my blog! [Talk about addiction.]

You may ask why, but it was because we bought my own stethoscope in Bambang, where everywhere I look is like a store with medical supplies only and you cannot look at other places without seeing any medical equipment! hahaha...

Good thing we have bought what we should at the right place, I might say, since the store dealer was suggesting us not the expensive one but the best one when it comes to quality. :D It was Baxtel. In the first store that we went, the only suggestion was that the more expensive a set was, it is more durable and all...

Anyway, my mom and I also have bought a pair of white shoes since the one I am using is actually almost torn to pieces right away... o.o

various mishaps! o.o

Tuesday is PE day, however I think we would have to reschedule the course because of some reason out there nobody even knows of, I think. We had badminton class, in which I scored only 94% unlike most of the other students who got 100%! My trio even discarded my existence because they are all so excited in playing and all...

It was such a shame because I can actually hit the shuttle cock, yet it doesn't seem to go right whenever things are graded... o.o We even learned this footwork that I have to study since it doesn't come out from me naturally.

Earlier, we were supposed to report on Aristotle's concept of the human person. If I were to base my reports in our book, it's actually something not that sensible enough that's why I have to consult other places like the library and the internet for some sources. Our report by the way is delayed for next time, Friday this week.

In my Basic IT class, another shameful thing was done , but I have to confess that it's something none of us should consider doing. T_T Talk about something else but this! T_T

Filipino was the usual, good thing it was THAT entertaining since our topic was about Francisco Balagtas' "Labindalawang Sugat ng Puso". We even made our own rendition of heart-breaking poems, and I have come to talk about Carmichael. Weird.

Maybe it was because Verlie and I have been talking about high school mishaps like having to disregard UP...and JR reminded me of my past almost lover named Car... haha. It was that hard to consider of getting rid of because he's something who has somehow made my life change in small ways. And then there's first things.

I actually don't want to talk about boys.

T_T

Why the tag katakawan? It's because Girlyn treated us (Phi Viet, Princess, Monica, Emmanuel Paolo, Angelico and Mark) to Beanstalk out of nowhere. Only Nica was absent from the company from LSC. I actually ate so much I think I have eaten enough until tomorrows activities, however I am already so tired due to my whole-day schedule. GREAT thing it's already Wednesday tomorrow...

Can I actually mention Mark treated me to Garlic Bread and fares from our school to my house, in addition to him carrying my luggage...good dog! ;) Turns out well that I have made some friend even during last sem.. :D

let me tell you a secret...

well, it's a secret since nobody knows that I have been there except my buddies (until I arrived home). I have been to Lipa Batangas 1 hour ago [based on this moment in which I have been writing this post] and am actually typing the words out of my head as I am standing since I have just had my dinner, which is actually another fast food, and makes me miss home-cooked meals more..T_T not to mention that they are actually more healthy than what I just had for our Lurienda [lunch + merienda~~from either JJ or JR]

about the lunch, it is actually something quite awful especially that JJ pointed out some of the gross facts actually present on the scene. Food court food, those at bargain [which are the only ones I could afford during that time to avail my body what it was yearning for] and there are actually flies on them! T_T I just hoped that God will let me stay healthy through that 'rough times'..XC

Then there's this wet hand game! haha! where JR would always be the victim! XD

it all started when JJ, who's also having problems with inborn gifts of sweaty hands, wiped his palms on my arms, so it all brought to life the wet-hand-game and whenever we are attacked by the sweating of our arms, it would be that I lather mine to my two friends [our trio does that]>>> Rizza taking a photo of herself with some eyeglasses she didn't actually buy [peace, rizza!] and I, smiling glamorously XD, with Lea taking off her fit shades. we were in SM Lipa, which is like 31 KM away...and I had to go home with nobody from my friends...

Reunion :), Laughtrip and actual interactions, XD

What happened this day :)

1. Reunion

It was with Nesty and Jam. the full trio of us, that I have actually been revived by the losing comforts of our friendship and companionship complementing each other. It’s really a great thing that we meet again since it has been like 3 months before we actually see each other again. If only Nesty would have a surname more advanced, alphabetically speaking, then there would be no need for us to be THAT separated. Too bad, it would be an act of striking the moon.

2. Laughtrip

Whenever I recall the things that made me laugh these past few days, I would not simply ignore the song Polly Rose entertained us with. It was the first day of classes in English, and like most usual first day of school events, you would find yourself under the hot seat of introducing yourself and actually telling people you don’t know some basic knowledge about your personal stuff.

Back to my classmate Polly Rose, she actually included singing to be one of her talents which actually led to the inquisitive Mr. Tenorio to actually ask her to sing. Much to our surprise, we heard something not actually appropriate as to what song actually describes my classmates life. Mind you, I am actually listening! haha. “I’m a flirt” was definitely what I heard from how Polly defines her life! hahaha, it really is something I would want to laugh out from! XD

3. Actual interactions with other classmates~

Yes, you read it right. During the past few days of sophomore schooling, I have really found myself actually being isolated from the rest of them. Maybe it would be because I have a really close friend whom I don’t want to leave (unless we go our separate homes anyway). This Monday as a matter of fact, we were very sad because of what our lunch experience gave us. While eating, we were sad not because we only have each other but because other batch mates are not present around. By the time that we actually got out from the place, just through the street, were the many people of BSN 2-3, WITHOUT US!

Rude enough, some are even having their time for themselves and their vices like smoking. o.o

anyway, belated happy birthday to arnie! XD

4 days already?!

I think it's almost more than that! How could I be so tired already when it was only four days since I started my classes, with two of the weekends gone by have already been given to me (unlike last semester which only had Sundays and Wednesdays considered to be day offs!)

Could you actually imagine having your 12 hours out of you just so you would stay at school? It's actually what most of scenarios anyone is most likely to encounter, but it's actually so tiring, making me yawn like forever while having classes!

There are actually teachers who would want perfect little students. The ones who would study in advance and have the perfect definition of whatever the topic is at hand, then, looking out for poor scholars who do not actually know everything, just something. However, I also think it would be best that we do some advance studying yet it would help us better that he announce whatever assignments shall we have.

Then there's this professor who's giving the students some pressure on reporting and the sort - in which the highest of the group grades would be exempted from one of the major exams all the students should have or else they would get a failing grade. XC

I feel like...

left alone. There will always be times like this, maybe because you can actually see people around you not wanting you around that you might just want to leave and be somewhere else other than where you are right now.

weary. Who wouldn't? After having almost 12 hours of having classes, I feel like I just want to sleep and dream throughout the night. Good thing I only have four days every week for classes, lest I be like someone who can not attend to other occasions other than schooling.

guilty. I think I have some guilt in me because of having girl friends this semester just for the sake of having someone with me during the trip from school to our home (well, actually, only until we reach the terminal.) During school hours, it is usually JJ and JR (coincidentally having the same pet names) whom I am with.

sick. I can actually feel some discomfort just below my tummy, especially when I pee. It's as if I have some kind of UTI or something.

idle. Yes, I know, this is really actually me. Yet I feel pressured because every instructor recurrently asks who among the class is a scholar, and since I have been pointed at by another scholar, then the two of us is known to be.

my first sophie day. XD

It all started at 4.30, in which time I woke up and had to sleep again for one hour. The alarm for 4.30 was intended for some test time - I mean, if I will be able to wake up at that time, then I'll be able to wake up at 5.30. You see, it usually takes 1 hour before I could prepare and leave home.I think it's better than other who bathe at 1 hour!

Then I walked through the village's busy streets to my friend, who's currently a freshman that we could go to school together. However, she already left because she had to be early. The thing is-she's TOO EARLY.

Through the journey, I have been with schoolmates whom I don't know actually. The thing is, they are Jam's boarding house-mates. Too bad she was too early to be one of them, now we couldn't be more together. Well at least I met her minutes before classes start.

Then there's someone so familiar I want to make him always stay - but he's actually more attached to his second semester friends. Anyway, at least he was always there to accompany me since he I'm the people whom I am very close to (referring to Jam and Nesty who happen to be in other sections distant from mine.) And I actually miss the times that we do lots of stuff incorporated with the most sincere laughters anyone would ever want.

And I miss the times when there were seven of us. And Lerry would be the quiet one who always had with his ears earplugs for some hardcore music which is actually considerable.. And Jazer who will always be the poet and the keen eyed-whatever who would always comment and debate over small things and would never want even his friends to open his mind. (I actually hate him for that.) And Jopo who will always be the charming and sweet guy who always is a friend when needed, an addiction actually to some of the ladies, but will always be loyal to -_- And JR who's always the comic actor and a great friend, enough said. (I won't like it anyway if I have to talk about someone who used to be....) And Nesty who's always the brainy girl and having always the extra mile towards everything conceivable.. and Jam who will always be my good friend and everything else...

You wouldn't believe this, but I was actually voted as Vice President of our class, just because they knew that I'm a scholar. boohoo.

Did I hear it right? The road intended for less travel is currently under construction? And that just means I HAVE TO LEAVE HOME EARLIER so that I would reach my school in time! No offense but you see, it would cost me more time, more walks, more waiting in line and more money! x(

Talk about new school year. I think I have to get used to it. Good thing I have new classmates and old friends to accompany me through the whole semester - or maybe even TILL I GRADUATE!

yes, we are now under Block Sections. The worse part is, we are sectioned accordingly - and to be specific, alphabetically according to our school surnames! :(

talk about addiction!

Just last night, I have finally decided to be an active member of myLot, a forum Nesty has introduced to me.

By the way, this night would be Nesty's competition at their Barangay! :) Go Nesty! I'll cheer for you even if I'm not there physically :)

Well, back to the topic, I had 27 or so posts in myLot last night before I have started posting so much, and you could just imagine how I posted so much because I have spent 4 hours gluing my eyes on the computer LCD even if I have my neck and back muscles drooping already. :( There were discussions I couldn't relate to and there were even un-reply-able, but at least I had the guts to still continue. :}

From $0.54, my earnings now had $.49 added! Cool! It's almost equal to what I have earned during the past weeks. :] Yet, I would never want to do this for the rest of my life! When school days come in, there would be less, even NO time for these things. I just hope I could earn more.T_T For those of you wondering, it's a forum site in which you could earn through different activities. Would you want to join? :)

vacation countdown...

After almost two months of not being able to see nor feel the likes of my College school, I have been in it again just this early morning to enroll for my Second Year classes. There were many people already so I think there would be long lines for payments and registrations and all --- and I was right.

Anyway, early birds included Jam (whom I really miss), Marie (whom I really look upon to! She got 1.28 for her average last semester..-_-), Dahreen (a friend who earns a lot this summer), Evon (a seatmate during Filipino class), Sheryl and Lea (my group mates for our NSTP class) and many others.

I think that I actually missed them. haha. who wouldn't? I miss the times that we were united by a passion not to attend a class of a boring teacher and to do a project hastily. -_- The coming year would not be the same for us because we will be all separated by the alphabetical listing of sections.. *sigh*

Well at least, the latecomer, JR who's one of my close friends during my early times in our school is again one of my future classmates and I hope that we can share a bond that is for us, just like the old times. Nesty, Jopo and Jam, our other close friends will never again be our classmates again. T_T

what happens when you put salt in a mango shake?

you read it right, and it was my mom who did it. She accidentally put salt in our smoothie because she was in a haste. -_- anyway, it was last Thursday when I was with my friends [since high school] to celebrate my classmates' niece's Christening. :) it was also when we ate food for lunch and siesta together again, sang in the videoke prepared for the event and took pictures for vanity purposes. XD though we're not complete, I can still see and feel that time is not wasted with my friends, ü

Feanne obsession [?]

It all started last week when I saw Angeli Sobrepeña making art beads from Polymer Clay, that I decided to do some browsing on her works. I checked her out through my multiply and saw even those online businesses that are already become my contact [though I still haven't bought anything from them yet.] My Little Dress was one of them, and I browsed for their products and one thing caught my attention: their photographer, Valerie Chua. From Valerie's profiles and all, there I saw [finally] Feanne Mauricio who is really someone not ordinary. I really think that she's someone cool, especially that she is an artist with so many artworks that she can be proud of, and everything else.

I can't help myself not to mingle with her online sentiments, with pretty artworks and kitten-related things - and not to mention violet get-ups! [I especially love her new year look x]] anyway, I don't think I am suitable enough to describe her, that my vocabulary is way much less than hers. -_-

I'm just saying that she's my new icon, if that's to be permitted. --,

Let me defend myself.

So, it was my fault that I didn't join in the fun last April z because you already said that the celebration will be on April y, so I have decided to join you in the latter event BUT it wasn't my fault that the other celebrant invited me the other day, April x, to be with her because it would be her celebration day.

The point is, why make me go with you on that day when you know that I am in a deal of distance from where you are, and that I have to be wise on when to go to your place and why. If I have to go there for without reason and without my mom's support, why would I go there?

April x was her celebration and April y was HeR's. Isn't that reasonable enough? why do you have to be so mad at me! and use the reason that I am with her just because she treats me of things...

honestly,why are you so immature?
