Guys. School. Blogs. Laguna.

Laguna.

We went in Laguna to chill (yeah!) last Saturday… all expense paid trip… (care of tita amy-thanks!!!) swimming, eating, singing, sight seeing, and everything. Cheers! ‘twas all fun. Considering that schools gonna start in a few days time we really made the most out of it.

Blogs.

I really enjoy blog hopping now. Reading thoughts, ideas, and feelings of different people (especially those who I don’t really know) really is also relaxing. Blogs are surely such works of arts. pinaghihirapan ng bloggers ang mga posts nila to share it with the public, hoping that they will get something from the posts. I hope that mine makes sense to you.

School.

Today is Monday so dalawang tulog na lang back to school na. Start na kasi ng summer classes (which is something that I look forward to-bukod sa mga interesting na subjects ay ang mga dati kong kakilala na ngayon ay magiging mga kaklase ko na!)

(the following lines were not the exact words that they said, pero most likely ganyan yun)

Sophie said: friends tayo ah, tabi tayo sa silya!
Ate Pia said: buti naman classmate na kita bhebi shinzzz!!!
KP said: pag alphabetically arranged ang seat plan, magkatabi tayo!!
Catherine said: uy! Classmate!!! See you on Wednesday!

Hehe.. I’m so nervous and excited na rin at the same time!! First impression lasts kasi eh..

Guys.

Guy # 1:
the over reacting “ex-boyfriend na” of a friend
I am someone who forwards text messages to the lists of friends found in my cell phone and in the past few days I have been sending a lot to everyone.


One day, I was shocked when this “ex-boyfriend na” texted me..

Guy#1:
“sobra na ata! Ha?! Nung una di ko lang pinapansin pero parang ngayon sobra na ata!” (he was referring to the forwarded quotes)…
so I texted him back
me:
“wala un ‘noh! Forwarded quotes lang yung mga yun.. send to list, nagkataon lang na nasa list ka kaya nakakatanggap ka…”
Guy#1: (di sya naniniwala)
Me: "
kung ayaw mo maniwala.. di wag… sorry kung natatamaan ka sa mga quotes… masyado ka naman seryoso…"
Guy#1: (wala.. kung ano anong pinagsasabi nya sa text., di talaga sya naniniwala)
Me: (masama loob ko sa kanya!)

My point here is… why would you over react over stupid quotes na ilang beses ng pinag pasapasahan ng iba’t ibang tao. My Gulay!!! For Hell’s sake… O.A. ha!!! I know how he feels when they broke up, alam ko gaano kasakit yun… pero haler?? Patulan ba ang mga quotes??? I swear never to talk to that “ex-boyfriend na” ever ever never again!! It really made me feel bad ‘noh… after all… ano nga lang ba kami sa relationship nila, kundi dakilang-taga-tago-ng-illegal-relationship-nila. Ano ba naman yun dba?? Kahit utang-na-loob wala man lang siya!! Shit sya!!!

Guy#2:
the “sikret-sikretang admirer” yata…

One night..
Me: (super duper forward forward na naman ng quotes,..)
Guy#2: (super duper comment comment sa mga sinesend kong quotes)
Me: (send pa rin quotes)
Guy#2: (he commented on one of the quotes I sent him) "kahit naman may gusto ako, masaya na ako na nakakabiruan ko sya at nakakakulitan, enuf na yun para sa araw araw kong stay sa skul…"
Me: (wondering who he was reffering to)

Ang guys talaga… minsan parang ewan!! Actually di lang pala minsan… madalas… EWAN!)

Guy#3:
“the super genius dati turned tamad na ngayon”

Me: wala lang.. I like him. I think If he likes me then kami na! joke!

Weird ba? Gusto ko lang siya isama sa list ng guys… para cute!!

Guy#4: he’s no secret.., its my “father”

Dad: "Pagbutihan mo anak ang pag-aaral mo… mahal na mahal ka namin ni mama mo!"
Me: "ginagawa ko yung best ko para di masayang paghihirap nyo. Mis u and luv u"
Dad:
"Mag-iingat ka anak sa mga lakad mo ha. Mag seryoso ng kilos, mahal na mahal ka namin ni mama mo"
Me:
"Nag-iingat ako palagi. Mahal ko din po kayo"

Text messages really means a lot to people.. specially to me dahil ang dad ko nsa ibang bansa… thru text messaging kasi para ko na rin sya nakakasama…

That’s it for now muna… antok na ako…

Shout out: happy birthday MHCRB, Ate Shella, and Neryl Ann Bugs

Champion ang kombinasyon…

Sipag at tiyaga!!
Phew!!! It’s been five long months… one semester!! One disaster!!!

Its crazy when I look back how did these five months had passed the way it did.
Really freaky… it was like dreaming a nightmare that you just want to wake up…, but upon waking up... You’ll realize that this is not a dream but it is a reality… it will eat you up until you quit. But hey!! There’s one thing I have learned in my High School…, that is when you spell “quit” it would be spelled as N-E-V-E-R as in never!! I have been a nursing student for two years (yes… two rollercoaster years!!! And oh my.., I missed high school) and I promise, quitting this course have always been an option but with so much shame with other people, I simply just can’t do it. I’m ashamed that they would think I’m a failure. I’m afraid they will think I am a loser.
Enough of the drama… October of 2006 was the month my cousins from “Switzerland” came home for vacation.., it was also the month for semestral break. It was all fun. We all did well. But all the good things have come to an end. After semestral break was the time to go back to school. Go back to reality that I am a nursing student.
(This is a breakdown of how it had been these past five months…)

November. All the first.

First Day of 2nd semester
First Day to meet new classmates
First day to be late??? WTF!!! I was late for my PE class, coz I left my registration form at home, so I had to go back… ending I’m late. Okay fine. Forgiven.
First Day to meet my new groupmates in RLE. Some old faces and some are new. It was one fine ocular inspection. Barangay Ligas 2 is our new adopted community. Here is where all the things will start to go round.
Student Nurses’ Week came from this month, and we got the chance to see Bamboo live in concert. It was just an urgent decision. We’re not suppose to watch it but upon hearing all the people scream and all excited to see bamboo, “Enviousness” made us want to buy tickets for the show, good thing there’s still some. And we are lucky enough to get into the front spot. So cool!!! It made me conclude that after all these years, may it be Rivermaya or Bamboo… Francisco Mañalac is still the coolest-hottest-greatest pinoy band vocalist ever!!!!
It was also the month when my friend Kim’s ate Kaye got married. Well, Congrats at least happy endings came true… for some.

December. It’s Christmas time.

Well, we did the interviews in the community. We all did some planning for the future activities in the community also. And Prelim examination was kinda easy with the “E” and “Z” haha… (that’s not funny though… ;p)
Christmas Vacation had never been this bowreeenngg!!! With really nowthiiiingg to do. Well… for me, I gained weight by sleeping, eating, watching tv, sitting in front of the computer for hours, eating, and sleep again. Okay, to be honest, I was a little lazy (maybe not little!! Hehe)
Christmas with the family has never been that lonely. It really made me miss all my filipino-swiss-austrian cousins. With my little sweet cousin lorraine (beshie, as we call each other, she is 8 and a half years old) wrote me a Christmas card saying “Merry Christmas ate Sheennee, Always Remember Me. Keep this in your mind and heart: I love you. Love, Lorraine.” It was indeed such a sweet message. So in return, I wrote her back and said “Merry Christmas! Would you still beshie me in the morning? (Adapted from the movie CLICK)”
It was not all that much for this month. A new year had come and it was the time for…

January. Rush Rush Rush.

We all got back to school on the 3rd of January. Planned for future activities in the community during the 4th and had some catching up with friends the whole first week of the year. We had a new professor in PE (volleyball) she is an award wining SEA Games lawn tennis medalist Ms. Belen Dante.
We met up with Barangay Ligas 2’s Barangay Officials *well, not all officials* to talk about the welfare of their community during the 11th. Then we settled to make a community health assembly a week after.
January 15th was my good high school friend Kryzzle’s Eighteenth Birthday. I went to their house that day ‘coz I would not be able to attend her so-called party on the 21st. Good thing she had two celebrations. At least I’m part of the other one. So sorry I missed one of the most important parts of your life.
January 18th came and everything went fine. The assembly was a bit disappointing at first but it ended well so it made each group members really exhausted.
January 21st was the NAT-CEM or the should-I-say battery examination, a qualifying exam before entering the college of nursing proper. It was kind of a entrance examination for the upcoming Third year students. That day was also the birthday of my super-kaduper-ever-dearest crushness Richard Gutierrez and his twin brother Raymond.
January 31st was Jonna’s debut. Wow!! (Updates for Jonna… well may boyfriend na sya. Dalaga na eh!!!) She treated us pizzas and pizzas and pizzas *with drinks of course*.
Everythings in a rush academically. School projects and paper works filled up. So… gosh!!!

February. It’s the love month… and a week with my dad. :(

On the 4th was Sophia’s birthday.
During the 7th was Hazel’s birthday.
And by the time 11th came, who else could have been as excited as me and mom.
11th was the day when my dada comes back home after a year of doing odd work in China (my father works in china as a factory worker for almost a year.)
He is just spending a week here. So we made the most out of it. Mama left work for a week to spend time with dad since he only had a short stay here. It was also the University Week / Intramurals and others so basically I also got a time off. I also did spent time with dad. It was all fun. He cleaned the whole house, from sweeping even the tiniest dust to the point of moving each household furniture to make the whole house look a little bigger. The house was basically a home with dad around. We are all cracking jokes, having all smiles, eating together, attending mass together and were simply a happy family. The house was full of noise coming from a 40-year old man’s voice making kwento about his life way back where he came from.
His short stay here made me realize how-the-hell I miss him so much. Spending most of my life with him working abroad for our family’s finances made me grew up without that certain father figure. Blaming myself for being the reason why he had to leave.
I really hate to see mama so sad that day he had to leave again. The loudness in the house was replaced by the silence made by his absence. For few days, mama and I didn’t talk, It took some time to go back to a regular routine.
It was indeed a mixed feeling without him.
But all sad things come with a happy ending. By the end of the month, my group mates and I went in Batangas to do some group study and to do a little refreshment also. We hurried up and finished the group study until midnight so that we all could have fun the day after it. We finished almost 2 am, slept for a few hours. Woked up at 7 am, had a little walk, ate breakfast and went to the ilog to swim and have fun. We all left Batangas 3pm that afternoon and then I reached home 5pm. Went to church 6pm. I’m so ashamed to catch myself sleeping during the mass, my head dropping in so much tiredness Haha…
Love month is not all for couples…, Happiness is a choice. Being single is my choice, I may not know how long will I take this as an option, but for now all I know is that being single is happy, it is my choice.

March. Defense! Defense! Defense!

March 1st was the day we had to defend the community case study we’d been up to the past month. This defense thing was also the reason why we have to make an overnight group study in Batangas. The Day was fine, I am freaking nervous but I had to show everyone I’m not. Trying to be confident presenting our work, I started to stutter and stumble words that is not familiar to both me and the panel, I made my report fast so that they won’t have any chance to ask,.. haha… then came the question and answer which I won’t elaborate much to avoid the weird feeling recalling that moment.

March is still in the process… Final Exams had just finished. 2nd year second semester has also ended, and it all left me with a smile on my face being able to know that I passed the NAT-CEM examination, I had a thousand of pesos given by my tita as a reward for being good academically, realizing I will be a regular student since I didn’t had any grade lower than the required grade, and knowing that I will come forward to the next level of this course. It will surely be hard but I always look forward to all the challenges to come.
Sorry for the long post. My… I missed blogging!!!!!!!! I wish to blog more regularly this time.
