(un)eventful events

a lot has happened the past weeks that i cannot seem to keep up. I went to Cebu for the Sinulog with my bro and cuz. I partied with Eric and some of his friends. We had fun really, though those plans were all last minute ones. nonetheless, it was SInulog fun.

A couple of days after, ive finally decided to have my hair cut. at the last minute. hehe It was a nerve-racking enough experience for me. Im not the type who lets just anybody cut my hair. Well. I was that in haiskul but i never cared before. For two years now ive been sporting a short 'do. Maybe a few months from now, I'd finally decide to grow it. maybe.

After a week in Cebu, I went home with Fritz and Nanay to attend a funeral. And I've been home a week when I went back to Cevou with my parents to go to Simala with Fr. Soon. he invited us. Almost all the priests in the Archdiocese of Palo were in the city that week for their annual formation. They stayed in Talavera House of prayer. It was beautiful and serene there. No wonder.
We went home that same night. If it weren't for my new Havs, I'd be pissed big time.

Now let's see, what else happened...

Oh yeah, we went night swimming again at Yoyek's Lola's pool last sunday. It was good fun.

And finally, we had our fishing boat blessed last monday. It was heartwarming.

UNFORGETTABLE WEEKEND

The past couple of days had been nerve-racking for me. Okay, only Saturday. The first day of the board exams. I couldn't sleep the night before. I started to cram. But hours before I was walking and making "suroy" around the city. But when I arrived home, ta-da! Gisugat ko sa kakulba! I couldn't remember the drugs, the interventions, etc. I slept so late that when my alarm got off, it made me jump and too nervous to function. Plus my dear father called a few minutes after I woke up and wished me good luck and gave me the most motivating speech that I've ever heard in my entire life. "Paniguru-a na makapasar ka para matabangan nimo imo mga ig-agaw." My initial reaction was scared to death that I might not make it. I was praying and asking for guidance while I was taking a shower, changing into my borrowed uniform (mine don't fit anymore) and going to UC-Main and as I waited outside the classroom. I was sweating profusely. Really! I felt my heart pounding in my chest! I wanted the exam to be over.

Nursing Practice I was okay. It's all basic. Made me wish I listened to all those boring lectures and RLE reporting back in college. It made me kinda calm. But still I had 4 more exams to go. We had a 1-hour break and I spent it in the bathroom replyng to all my friends and family who wished me luck. I also ate my homemade sandwich without cheese *boh-ring* and drank my Starbucks frap. Our proctor talked to me about Twilight. His fault!! I couldn't stop myself from gushing over it. Nursing Practice II. Goodluck! I love Copar. I started to leak CSF from my nose then it later progressed to my ear. Rhinorrhea and otorrhea, anyone? Man, was it difficult? But what made it all the more nerve-wracking was when a lot of us finished way ahead of time. It was supposed to be difficult!! And we were done 30 minutes before the time! Shucks!

Gayle and I spent our lunchtime together in my assigned room. We were just talking and she ate her lunch. It has been a long while since we last talked. I mean really talk. We have been too caught up in our own drama. It felt good to talk to her again. After a long time. I missed her.

Nursing Practice III was by far the most confusing and difficult exam for me. I wasn't only CSF leaking but nosebleeding as well. Hemorrhaging, actually. My neck was in full flexion the 2/3 of the time. I thought I might need a neck brace. Then finally, the first day was over. My DMC friends and Cdu friends from our review met up at the canteen. We shared the same sentiments. II and III are lisud!

Second day. Okay lang. Lisud gud ghapon ang IV. makatulala. And V? Bahala na ui! basta nahuman na jhud ang board. The rest is all up to the BIG GUY above. dba?!?

Of course, the day wouldn't be complete without celebrating the end of the exams dba?

LAAG everybody! One Mango was filled with board examinees last night! We also had our house party at Kit's house.Sir Ricafort gave us money man. Fun Fun Fun.

This the part that I hate the most.

The agonizing wait! (sakto bah?)

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Butterflies in the pit of my gut!!!!!!

Separation Anxiety

Four days to go before the NLE(Nursing Licensure Exam). I still don't know where I will be taking it. They said the list will be posted two days before the 29th. I am anxious more than ever. I think I'm having moderate anxiety because I seem to have my perspective narrowing. I also seem to forget what I just learned.
A few days more and all these will be over. Again, I have to say goodbye to those wonderful people I met and knew in our review. But as I've learned before, goodbye doesn't really mean the end of our friendship, does it? Although I am fully aware of the fact that we will be seeing each other again, I still can't help but feel a little separation anxiety. My new friends and I have been together almost everyday for a couple of months now. Within those months, I relearned that it doesn't really matter where you came from. Or what school I studied in. Or how filthy rich some of our co-reviewees are. Or even how smart someone is. It's how you treat people that matters.
Among the team of the SLRC reviewers, I rank Mr. John Gil Ricafort as my number 1favorite, Mr. Darius Candelario as my no. 2 and Mr. John Teodoro as 3rd favorite. I love Mr. Ricafort!!! I really am going to miss him so much! Their faces are forever imprinted in my memory. And I will never hesitate to approach them whenever I see them in any part of this world. I am really grateful with all our reviewers. I learned a lot from them. They made those difficult, brain cell depleting and mindboggling Med-surg and Psychiatric lessons easy. I understood ECG interpretation and those other diseases only in our review. Really, I'm not kidding. Those Clinical teachers should exert more effort in teaching their students. Instead of making our lives and the future students' lives a living hell. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if their graduates didn't really learn anything from their teachers but rather on self study and reportings? Yes, I do understand that it's modular but not all students will learn every important fact from studying alone. ECG and those complicated topics should be explained thoroughly.
Anyway, I'm going to miss my co-reviewees. They're not just that. They have become my friends, too. I'm going to miss the days that we have spent together, the laughter and all the things that made us laugh and cry. ohhhh!(Puppy face amd tears)
I am grateful to God that He made our paths cross. And for giving us such, SUCH WONDERFUL and FUNNY teachers. And most especially, for the guidance and blessing He will bestow upon us come saturday and sunday.
God Bless us all! First timers and retakers. I hope this would be the last time for us to take the NLE.

KARMA BITCH!

what goes around comes around
Sometimes ppl get tired of other ppl abusing them
IT DOESN'T HURT TO ASK. PIECE OF ADVICE (dear friends): ASK!
be careful of the things you say to your friends, it might be perceived differently and in a bad light. Or worse, it could start a fight.
IT HELPS TO BE SENSITIVE AND CONSIDERATE.
Never waste your time by spending it with people who made a habit of saying bad things about your friends or family. who knows,they also talk about u behind your back. they're no good. especially if the things they're saying about you are the things they do or happened to them.. KARMA BITCH!!! deal with it!
USE REACTION FORMATION when around these people. i repeat, THEY'RE NO GOOD!
just let go of the things they said about you. A of all, they don't know and they didnt take the time to ask you or to know u, B of all, they're not perfect with worse skin than mine and C of all, there's no known cure for FUCKIN INSECURITY.
AND BEFORE you say bad things about a certain HUMAN BEING, look at yourself in the ga-damn mirror first. maybe, just maybe MAS LIMPYO PA KO NIMO.
IT DOESN'T MEAN because you do it with those people I DO IT TOO. My values are still intact.
I dont want to tell the whole whole world aboUt the previous but hearing those things just irritates my senses. and seeing your large ass too. you're a big pain in the butt and you make my eyes sore, brain hurt and makawala ka ug buot! (mo! MO! MAKAWALA MO UG BUOT!)
and please stopp messing with my family. you dont know who you're dealin with.
yeah you're fuckin rich, so wat?! your massive wealth coudnt buy you good skin and a sexy body. all it has given you was a nasty attitude and a freakin insecurity problem and superiority complex na wala sa lugar.
and I've said this before and i'm saying this again, WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND! its KARMA, bitch!!
try to be good, okei?!
XOXO

First Friday of February

This day is by far the nicest weather Cebu ever had. It was sunny and it felt summery. IT was a good day to just walk around the city and enjoy the February sun. Icon and I decided to go to Natio and buy school shits. And we opted to walk there to enjoy the day.. On our way there, a foreigner almost jumped the fence to run after us. He scared the living hell out of me.



Mango during daytime. Looks different huh?!?!



I dragged Icon to the hospital to do some bitching/bitchery. But look who we bumped into, her EX, Giovanni. hehe peace out girly..



I dont even know these people's name. I just saw them in the hospital's waiting area. I like the kid's features. His sexy in a childish way. hehe and His grandpa is pa-cute.




Ang dahon!! I just thought this was cute.




Fuente. This is really beautiful. I love the FOuntain in the Basilica.



I love balloons!!



We, the CAMWHORES, heared mass and took lotsa pictures.



After church, our tummies were churning like crazy, yelling I'M EMPTY. FEED ME!



After dinner, we were so full that we decided to take a walk. Around the city. and took pictures with almost every sign we see. I personally love the NO LEFT TURN sign. It reminds me of everyone who doesnt believe that Ive gotten over him.





Icon: so confused as to what napkin to buy..ahahah



Ukay-ukay people



walkin to jollibee..a quick stop to take pix..



so hungry after the walk.. yum pie!!!




these two people are the craziest!!!


From Jollibee, I walked home and found April and Amanda studying Spanish. I chikad with them, took crazy pictures. And then, the toilet outside flushed. OMG! Then we shared our experiences here. We scared ourselves and decided to go up and sleep.
















who's gonna turn off the lights guyz?!?! good luck!!

proud of myself

I'm proud of myself yesterday. I managed to attend review and sign language. The latter was okay, made me feel stupid. Baga kaau xa ug face. Chris sat beside me and he came with him. He sat in front and faced us. He asked where I was assigned.
told him Talamban. He thought community duty. stupid. ha-ha. naa ba gu'y community na night?!?

Vhire ride was fun! Paulo was there and I was nervous.
All through the ride, G and Jem and I laughed the hell out. When we arrived in the hospital, I ran.
When I reached home, I received a text from him: "Dagan jud. hahahaha."
It was funny! Coz I really did run!

Duty time...
Maryanne's brother was with us last night. He had himself reassigned because of his co-headnurses who are soooo.... mean
We talked about his love life.. haha
He was actually buotan. We ride the jeep together and iya ko gipasakay ug 14D.

Anyway. I'm so tired na jud.
of everything!!!! Im hating school right now!! I hate the freakin' pressure!! i ahve a lot of requirements to pass tomorrow!! ICU-ER-SPA!! and I haven't started yet!! Hell!! I dont even have a notebook!!!!

Fcuk!!!!

almost away from my comfort zone CDUH...

My first night in North General Hospital was pretty boring. On my way there, I almost missed the bus. Fortunately, I saw Mario (a former classmate) and i asked him to share his seat. We had a history.. hehe I used to like him Sophie year. When i arrived there, it was still to early.. 9:00 pm, way too early. Blake and Jaja were watching HBO in the Xray area, i joined them after signing my absence slip..hehe we stayed there for an hour maybe. I stayed longer because Kat hasnt arrived yet.
A few minutes after, still she hasnt arrived so I decided to just go to our station. Endorsement already started but instead of joining them, I ate my frooties and skyflakes. I wasnt hungry, but I was bored like crazy hell!!!
After almost an hour, Kat arrived. it was really boring!! but i was getting by. Thanks to my co-headnurse.
We took our supposed to be 15 minute break down at the lobby, with Blake and Jaja. There, we sipped our 3-in-1 coffees and too sweet Milo, ate our frooties and Fita, shared ghost stories, love stories and gossips.
Blake pulled a prank on two staff nurses, he pushed the up button on the elevator in the lobby, ran off to the 2nd floor and pushed open and scared the hell out of them.. we heard their shouts!!! it was oh-so funny!!!
but duty calls. but i didnt think the staff missed us.
but we still came back.
Kat shared her love stories. It felt good to know that Im not the only stupid girl when it comes to love in this world. I dont know which is stupider, being fooled twice by the same guy or being fooled thrice by different guys?!? But either way, we never learned the first time.
When it was my turn to make chika i learned that they were assigned together in Greenfields with their group. And yes, they thought sila.
