hopefully..1 more year to go!!
Long time no post! It's been a month! What's been happening?! I guess I was just too lazy to post something because of all of the requirements needed to pass in due time..Pretty much the usual busy mode..And thesis is one of them..yes, the defense! We had our defense last week..I actually thought it was gonna be rejected because of the panelists' silent mode for a few seconds of the final verdict..BUT congratulations to our group for passing the thesis proposal! Congrats to the whole section (N-308) for passing and doing a great job as well! On the other hand, another school year's over and final exam just ended yesterday and I'd say, the exam was pretty tough! I feel like either the exam was really difficult or I didn't review enough..ok, enough with being pessimistic! Better to be optimistic and tell myself that I'll pass no matter what..I know we all will! Anyways, me and some of my friends went swimming here at our estate pool after the exam to relieve some stress and just chill out. It made me not think about school for once again, since we were having so much fun swimming and playing badminton even if we were only 4..it made me think about my aching body though lol..Today starts 1 week of our summer break then off to being busy again..not to mention Mariveles! I'm excited but at the same time nervous..it's the experience that counts right? If only we got no summer classes, I'll be having my vacation back in AUH..the place I miss so damn much! I miss the place and the people I know there, too! :') Aside from that, I've been exercising more and TRYING to eat right since last year's sembreak..really tough to keep it stable when I don't manage the cooking lol..I will..soon! Btw, I have some pics uploaded in my multiply from my last few hospital rotations..not much..but at least..hay..Mariveles here we come lol! Ciao!
moments in our lives..
I was watching the tv show: One Tree Hill awhile ago. When Lucas' words at the end of the episode made me ponder on such moments in our lives - from the choices we make..being tested..
Life..trying to figure out what lies ahead beyond existence, but we never know what really does.
"There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroads. Afraid. Confused. Without a road map. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days.
Of course, when faced with the unknown, most of us would rather turn around and go back.
But once in awhile people push on to something better - something found just beyond the pain of going on it alone and just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in. Or to give someone a second chance.
Something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream.
Because it's only when you're tested that you discover who you truly are. And it's only when you're tested that you discover who you can be.
The person you want to be does exist, somewhere on the other side of hard work, faith and belief, and beyond heartache and fear of what lies ahead."
realization..
A new day of realization.
Realization of the day that one has made to.
Realization of more new problems to be solved.
Yet realizing more things to be happy with..
More goals and targets to work for..
And realizing many more things to thank God for.. :)
..in Manila.
We didn't have any classes/duty today since PGMA was going to attend our school to commemorate the new president of our university. So our group in research spent the time researching in 4 colleges (UP, UST, CEU, SBC) at Manila..just for one day..actually..hours! Our group met up at 5:30-6am but unfortunately someone still came late (Filipino time huh lol)..anyways, we left by 6:30am and took the NLEX for easier and faster transport. From Pampanga to Manila it would usually take 3-4 hours including traffic. But using the NLEX, it only took us 1 and a half hour to reach Manila! What an improvement! We arrived at Manila by 8am and went straight to our first 2 destinations: UST & UP. Then by lunchtime, we went to to the last 2 schools left on our list: CEU & SBC. All we did was research for more sources for our thesis. One thing that also made me happy today - I saw 2 of my H.S.Classmates, Rami & Tin, a while ago, they made time for at least a few minutes since I haven't seen them for like 2 years now. I missed them so much! I can't believe I missed them..and the others! We were talking like back in the days when we were back in AUH! So anyways, they promised me a tour next time I visit Manila cuz I had to go back to Pamp.,and I have people with me..a dozen lol! Sad to say I didn't take a pic of us. Back to researching, we finished by 4:30pm. Since we had school the next day, we didn't have to chance to roam around at least..we went straight back to Pampanga after finishing our task for the day. We arrived here in Pampanga by 6pm..from there, everyone parted ways and went home. Tiring but somewhat fun hehe
This is just in my POV: I would say I never liked to live there in Manila even if the colleges are all high standard. If only THEY can do something to make our country better! THEY keep on repeating the same goal every year..geez! Anyways, my parents were right..it's not a good environment for me and my siblings to be in since we were born and raised in a very well environment. Or maybe it just depends..But this is the way I see it!
Even if majority of my friends are far from me..I know that we'll be seeing each other even if it takes a long time..time will come!
To Rami & Tin: Next time I go to Manila, I'll expect the tour you guys promised! :') miss u guys so much!
Sorry for the wrong grammar! I just wanted to post about this fun & unforgettable experience (I didn't mention all..don't have to) that I had today. I'm sleepy and tired right now from the adventure today haha..*yawns* I'm off to bed! Ciao!

We usually keep our problems and never want the world to know. Though we try to be stronger..we are weak inside..
rumors..
Let's face it..it makes anyone angry, at the same time hurt inside when people spread rumors especially when you are the talk of it and it isn't true. It's unavoidable. This is by far the most common social weapon. Although some types of gossip may help a persons reputation, the overwhelming majority of the "shock talk" people indulge in is harmful and mean spirited. To add to the sinister nature of this tactic, it is most often done behind the target's back. The scenario is familiar to all of us - Person A spreads a rumor about Person B to everyone who may be interested and by the time it gets back to Person B, the damage is done. Person B then goes to confront Person A who plays innocent or apologizes half-heartedly. But the damage is already done! True or not some of the people who have heard the rumor will believe it, others will wonder what to believe, and those who know it isn't true will sit back and hope it all goes away quickly. It's better to believe what is coming from the person being rumored about than believing in lies being spreadt by people who just claims attention..the thing about rumors is that they are often difficult to prove or disprove. For this reason, once a rumor is set loose, it almost always follows it's target in one way or another. Very true..Rumors are often used as revenge or for blackmail. And now I wonder..what have I done to make them talk about me that way? I can't think of anything. I never did anything to anyone that would hurt them..but who knows right? Maybe they think that..but I don't..
Browsing in the internet, I found some tips on how to handle rumors..here are some of them:
* Remember that no matter what you say or do SOME people are going to believe the rumors. Your goal is to mitigate damages since it is next to impossible to make everyone believe your side of the story.
* Don't confront the person who spread the gossip about you in a public place or with an angry tone in your voice. Causing a scene or going on the offensive will only make them feel they are justified in spreading venom. It is best to avoid this person all together and to say nothing to them. But if you do have to say something, wait until you are calm and the initial shock has passed.
* Rather than freaking out and running around trying to set the record straight, play it cool! When it gets back to you laugh lightly and say something like, "Is THAT what's going around about me? I wonder why somebody would go to so much trouble to spread a lie?" This does two things; it shows others that you have nothing to hide because you are not acting defensively, and it puts the burden of reliability back on the gossip spreader by making others wonder if there is a hidden agenda.
* Spread the gossip yourself, "Have you heard what so-and-so is saying about me? What a joke!" and do it with a smile. Always sound calm and confused, never bitter and resentful.
* If anyone asks if the rumor is true say, "No of course not, but does it really matter what I say? I just wish I knew why so-and-so started this one in the first place." If it is true, omit the "No" and just say, "Does it really matter what I say? I just wish I knew why so-and-so spread this around in the first place!".
* Calm is the key! Always be calm, even baffled, when the rumor is mentioned. If you freak out in protest it looks like you have something to hide. Even if you do have something to hide, playing it cool is always best.
* Don't retaliate with your own gossip. You are better than that!

I would usually play this song, "When I Go Down" by Relient K (one of my favorite songs), when I am reminded of such problems in my life or if I have problems that brings me down..this song would make me smile 'cuz I know, even if my family or close friends aren't here to comfort me in times like these, I'd still know that SOMEONE would never leave me alone..
<- press play to listen to song.
I'll tell you flat out
It hurts so much to think of this
So from my thoughts I will exclude
The very thing that
I hate more than everything is
The way I'm powerless
To dictate my own moods
I've thrown away
So many things that could've been much more
And I just pray
My problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works
No that's not the way it works
When I go down
I go down hard
And I take everything I've learned
And teach myself some disregard
When I go down
It hurts to hit the bottom
And of the things that got me there
I think if only I had fought them
If and when I can
Clear myself of this clouded mind
I'll watch myself settle down
Into a place where
Peace can search me out and find
That I'm so ready to be found
I've thrown away
The hope I had in friendships
I've thrown away
So many things that could have been much more
I've thrown away
The secret to find an end to this
And I just pray
My problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works
No that's not the way it works
When I go down
I go down hard
And I take everything I've learned
And teach myself some disregard
When I go down
It hurts to hit the bottom
And of the things that got me there
I think if only I had fought them
Any control I thought I had just slips right through my hands
While my ever-present conscience shakes its head and reprimands me
Reprimands me
Then and there
I confess
I'll blame all this on my selfishness
Yet you love me
And that consumes me
And I'll stand up again
And do so willingly
You give me hope, and hope it gives me life
You touch my heavy heart, and when you do you make it light
As I exhale, I hear your voice
And I answer you, though I hardly make a noise
And from my lips, the words I choose to say
Seem pathetic, but it's fallen man's praise
Because I love you
Oh God, I love you
And life is now worth living
If only because of you
And when they say that I'm dead and gone
It won't be further from the truth
When I go down
I lift my eyes up to you
I won't look very far
’Cause you'll be there
With open arms
To lift me up again
To life me up again

JBLMRH - Surgery..onto the next!
This was a start of a new year when classes resumed from Christmas Break! Anyways, 2 days ago was our last duty at JBLMRH in San Fernando for this sem. Last sem we were assigned to the Medicine Ward, but this time..Surgery Ward. So, Surgery Ward..non-stop vital signs taking, change dressing, administering of meds as ordered. This is the only ward we have this sem and all are special areas. Cool! ^-^ Duty is not really that toxic..it can be toxic if you think it would be..I guess what makes it toxic are some selected factors - one of them to be the patient..because of the drugs they have been prescribed to (ex. the more the drugs, the more toxic..right?)..and that's just 1 patient I'm pertaining to. But I never had a so-called 'toxic' patient yet :S I know..not really toxic now. We are still in training to be efficient and professional in our profession of choice. The instructors would usually grade us with the 3 elements involved I guess Knowledge, Skills, and Attitude. But I still wonder if some CIs are good enough to impart their KS to us willing to learn. And the grades they give us..was it merely a guess?! Now would I compare..forget it! There's no use! If that's the way they want it, then that's it. What more if we were in the real world. We wouldn't be graded by instructors but be evaluated by officials superior than us in profession in the near future, right? Now that's somewhat scary to think that no one's perfect and who knows what's gonna happen next..*sigh* With those thoughts to ponder on still far away, I'd stick to what I have seen/experienced previously and recently. I've learned a lot from this rotation..from every rotation I mean. Thanks to the CIs..and for taking good care of us hehe
Another rotation has yet ended. We'll be starting our duty at AMC, here in A.C. this coming Monday..our group being assigned to the OR/DR. Oh and we are starting our Thesis Proposal..Here we go! :)

the sore throat :(
I woke up today in the morning, feeling something wrong. And what would you know..I have a sore throat! :( Maybe because of the on-off climate here. One minute it's cold, the other minute it's hot. .and just a while ago it showered rain for less than 5mins. if I may estimate. *sigh* As mild as a sore throat is, it pretty much made my day miserable since I had the urgency to cough every time my throat feels something irritating, inflicting my throat with pain, which, is manageable in some way..and unfortunately, or should I say luckily, today was a school day so I only had less time to rest..what more if I landed with the sore throat on a duty day. More work, less time. Your whole being can decrease with one problem. My friends would know something's wrong with me when I start to become quiet. Either it be any problem. What I did today was just less talk. I obviously can't talk much cuz I don't wanna lose my voice just because of a sore throat! It would make me ponder on the role of nurses. Even if you are sick, you still need to work just to make others get better soon. But when it comes to yourself, you need the motivation to figure a plan B. Hopefully, I need to get well soon because by Monday starts duty. And I don't wanna do sign language j/k It's a good thing I have 2 days off before a new week starts. I have no idea why I posted this lol. Ok! I am so not in the mood right now *cough* :( I'm off!
It's 2007!
Ah yes..it's 2007! It's been one heck of a year that 2006! And so begins a new year! A fresh start on everything again! A new chapter added to our lives! And I've got God to thank for everything that's happened and will happen in the future..who knows :) Every year, people would usually make their new year's resolution. This year, I didn't make one 'cuz I still have some resolutions back then w/c haven't been resolved yet. I'll TRY to resolve those first.. :s (just like what I posted from my previous post - read the survey :) ) Christmas break ends today and schools gonna be resuming tomorrow..gonna be pretty much busy again with school..it never ends haha
Anyways, I've uploaded 2 albums in my multiply. The 1st one's after Christmas, and the 2nd one's on New Year's Eve :) I'll try to update my blog once in awhile since school's gonna resume tomorrow. God bless everyone!

Review of 2006
This time of year is always a great time to look back and reflect on our life. As 2006 comes to an end and 2007 arrives, I find myself focused on what I've learned about life through daily living. Many of life's factors affect every individual's life - not just on the physical level but even more so on the mental and spiritual levels. When thoughts affect our actions (which is 100% of the time true according to researches), they realized that state of mind and thought processes hold the keys to how our life unfolds and what we are able to achieve in various aspects of our life. And for always, thanking God for every breath of life & blessings that He has given me and my family! I thank God for his guidance and for being so good to us! :) I also am sorry for whoever I've hurt this year (If there are any, w/c I'm sure there always is) For the people who think I'm angry at them, for not talking to them for a long time or for some other reasons..I'm not. Don't worry. I won't get angry unless there's a good reason to be. ;)
In 2007 - I start again! Like a new life for a new year! Well..I can't promise anything but I'll try though. But I won't wait. The earlier the better! Everyone should start by not leaving our fate up to our very impressionable subconscious. We should take control of our subconscious by being more conscious of our thoughts and actions. Draw up plans, achieve goals..so let's get moving! Create our version of 'life' and our entire life benefits.
I have no idea what I have been writing in this post cuz I can't seem to concentrate with a lot of things on my mind :s Anyways, Bare with me here haha I hope you guys can understand what I mean..if not..a summary here in my next post - a survey for my '07. So, Advance Happy New Year and thank you to everyone for reading what I write here..and again..most especially to the people close to my heart - thanks for everything!
Lots of stuff to happen in 2007 - who knows right?! We'll see how the new year goes for me..God bless!

it's an urban word now!
Upon receiving an e-mail yesterday from Urban Dictionary's word for the day (12/16/2006), this word is the actual term that me & my best friends use to call each other! How cool is that!
* besty - a shorter word for "best friend".
* besties - short for "best friends".
I never knew the terms above were recently being used in the urban world..and now I found out that my mom & her best friend also uses 'besty' to call each other, too! Nevertheless, we've been using it for years now so we're ahead of the people who recently posted about it in Urban Dictionary haha XD
A'La Carte XYZ is one of the group of friends that I hang out with back in AUH w/ the Besties..you know who you guys are! :)
I MISS YOU GUYS! :')
* ..on the other hand.. *
Prelim Exams were yesterday. Analysis & interpretation pretty much makes our exams difficult. That's where our critical thinking comes in. I'd say I did well..we'll have to see the results then. In situations like those, I usually tend to feel worried/nervous inside 'cuz I wouldn't know what comes next: whether I passed or not :s They say when you think positive, the results comes out positive and vice versa. Something to do with the mind's mechanism maybe?! That's something to ponder on. I know..not a big deal to some but it kinda is to me 'cuz this is one of my goals..this is my future. Enough said! Congrats to Yeng Constantino! The 1st PDA Grand Star Dreamer! She deserves it! Very young yet talented! :) But still i never liked her with RJ..eeeww :s So anyways, it's Christmas break already wohoo! Let's have some Christmas spirit in us! And a New Year is yet to come! Happy holidays to everyone! God bless!

way of cooling down.
I'm in no mood to be posting but I felt like posting anyways. Have you ever felt pissed and just want to let it all out for the world to know?! Well, today is our last day of classes, tomorrow is our prelim exam, then Christmas break after that. I was in the mood the whole day, when we got dismissed from school, I went straight home since something came up - I kinda got pissed off with a so called friend of mine! I don't want to mention the person's name to be free from rumors (another thing I hate but don't mind). I kinda got a lil pissed in a part of the text message wherein it said something about my ability to do something/personality! With my pride and guts, I replied back..trying to be calm with a sense of being pissed inside. That person never replied back! You said you'll never repeat what you did the previous time..but look! As simple as a small thing, you just have to do it again didn't you! There's a saying when you get angry, count to 10..tried it! Not much of an effect on me. I guess my way of cooling down is either just keeping quiet, being alone, listening to music, thinking what just happened..than cool off as simple as that. What I just posted now is my 2nd option - letting it out or just telling it a close friend(s)/family member maybe. That's my way of cooling down. What's yours?
I won't take back what I said. It wasn't my fault but it was my fault according to you anyways. Whatever you say or do won't affect me since I know what's true and I'll spend my Christmas break like I have nothing to do with what just happened haha No worries for me since I know that Someone's watching up above. *inhales then exhales deeply* I feel much better than a while ago! It's a great feeling to have Him in my life. I'm so thankful! Unlike before I can't keep my cool. I would usually lose my temper and break loose & eventually hurt people's feelings. What's done is done. I can't do anything about what just happened. To be the good person that I am, I'll forgive you for what you did. But I'm not one to forget that easily! Just act like nothing happened then things will be okay between us again instead of me forming more wrinkles on my face haha. Oh and not that I'm sensitive or serious, or anything - I'm not. This is a typical problem that people usually encounter.
Another one of the many obstacles in my life - SOLVED! Since I let whatever I want to say or feel release out of me, onto focusing on reviewing for our prelim exams tomorrow :s another one of those never-ending obstacles in my life! I'm not sure if it's me who's blogging o.O Yeah it's ME! Time to review! God bless to everyone tomorrow! :)

pics from the past.
All Catholic schools had no school today 'cuz of a holiday called'Immaculate Concepcion' (I'm not sure if I got that right :s). Out of my boredom, I felt like cleaning my room. While cleaning my room, I saw some photo albums of my memories back in AUH, pictures given to me, high school, and some summer vacation pics taken from last year. I've posted some of the pics in my multiply. If I have enough time, I might as well create one for YouTube LoL. It's a good feeling to reminisce on old times, good and bad. Whenever I'm alone or see people hanging out and having fun with their friends, it reminds me of my friends back in AUH. I've blogged about my AUH memories in my previous post (June 2006 I think?!) Hopefully there'll be a reunion soon. I miss them so much! :')
It's already the last month of the year and soon to be a new year again! Sorry for repeating myself but really..time flies so fast! It just feels like I was just starting college one day and here I am..hopefully..soon to graduate after 2 more years! Whoa huh! So anyways, it's already December. I don't know why, but I still can't feel the Christmas spirit in me. Usually, I would feel it by now..it will soon be felt. Maybe it's because I'm pretty much preoccupied with a lot of school work these past few days..and more to come. If I would have some free time available, I'd either try to forget about school, try to occupy myself with things to do..but then, somehow I'd go back to doing school work by the end of the day. Some people think I have no time for fun since my replies pertain to being 'pretty much busy with school.' I try to have fun once in a while, we all would. Life would suck when everyone's too dead serious.
Aside from school, my parents & sister arrived here 3 days ago. Of course me & bro were excited to see them..not to forget the souvenirs they bring us! Yay! Peace! ^-^ These past few days I've wanted to blog about stuff but then my tiredness overcomes my eagerness to blog. In the end I'd blog about nothing. I'm lucky enough to post today haha.

Pacman wins!
The Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao-Erik "El Terrible" Morales Finale was scheduled last November 18 at the Thomas and
You know what sucks? While me and my bro were watching the match on TV w/c was already at the 2nd round..since it was a commercial break, he was looking for his cell, once he found it, he saw that he had 1 msg received. The msg was from our aunt and it said that our aunt from US texted her and told her that Pacman won on the 3rd round by a a knock out! Then the msg went through me! Somehow I got disappointed! It made watching not that much of a thrill anymore since we knew what to expect at the next round! I wish he hadn't told me! We had to watch the next replay in another channel just to feel the fight LoL. *sigh* It wasn't an easy(?) fight but it ended too fast. I still didn't feel the adrenaline in the fight. Nevertheless, another victory for the Filipinos! Congrats Pacman! It was the talk of the town..soon to be talking about Pacman who might be running for vice-mayor?! Just don't brag too much! :s [Note: I’m just pointing out my view!]

scammers!
Scammers, commonly known as 'Spammers', are on advertisements, e-mails, bulletins..almost all over the internet! Don't be fooled by what you see most of the time. Be careful! The comic explains it!
here we go!
Orientation Week! The first week of a new semester has ended so fast. Anyways, here's a re-cap:
11/7 - First day of a new semester for us. I could see some students got transferred to our section since, sad to say, a number of students didn't make it. They had to! To make all sections balanced. So I can see some new faces. We had our orientation in NCM102 this day. New instructor! :) We'll be learning the continuation of our MS, then onto Psychiatry! Hoping to learn a lot more! That's surely to be expected w/ the rest of its sub-branches :P
11/8 - Another orientation that we was about RLE duties. As usual, they orient/remind us over and over again about the policies since some other students still do not follow. Aside from that, we'll be exposed to special areas this whole semester. Unlike last sem, we were only exposed in the DR (except for our group - we had the advantage of being exposed to the OR earlier ^-^). We also have our hospital rotation schedules posted already at the bulletin for the whole semester. We also met our new CI for our 1st rotation, w/c we will be at Porac (OR).
11/9 - One orientation after another to attend, but this time we were given a brief introduction about special areas, specifically about OR. We were also oriented on the different OR techniques, principles, etc.
11/10 - So this is today...yesterday since it's already AM. We had our orientation on another subject. This time it's about our subject Research. This subject as oriented was going to help us in our research, thesis, grammar...and so on! Afternoon came and on our 2nd subject, we already started a new lesson already. Chapter I mean! In 4 hours we got to finish 1 Whole Chapter! And by next meeting we'll be having our 1st quiz! Talk about racing against time lol
* * *
The special areas & the defense will surely help me improve my self-confidence. I actually have improved! If you knew me for a very long time, you'd notice that I was a shy type of person. Now..well..I'd say I've improved. Even in my tagalog &...kapampangan (NOT really hehe).?! I guess I'll let you guys be the judge of the mentioned. :) Hay..freaky! Because some doctors who love joking around (for example, hiding instruments or os to check if you're present) can make u nervous & lose focus. Unless you have the presence of mind. For DR..the baby and mother of course! Either way, BOTH can be freaky sometimes!
Next week will be the start of regular classes for us college students. Like I said in my previous entry, I'm not expecting anything 'cuz a student already knows what to expect..over and over again it's being expected. 2nd sem. Back to being BUSY. Let the adventure begin! Here we go! God bless! ^-^

another sem.
Sembreak has gone by so fast! It just felt like I had 1 week of vacation lol. At least I got time to relax! You know how it is! So..another sem has passed. 2nd sem starts tomorrow & I can already feel the pressure of school in me. I guess it's normal for students to feel that way since our knowledge increases per level, having major requirements in due time again too are already to be expected. It feels like the more you learn, the less you know. Take for example an instruction manual, you need to read it before using something new. But nowadays, people rarely read them unless they really have a problem. People just seem to find how it works out by trying stuff. True right? Lots of things I still don't know. Not only in school..anywhere! Life in general I may say. It's pretty hard to predict what's gonna happen next. Everyone pretty much heard this quote a billion times, "Try & try until you succeed." It's pretty much self-explanatory. I must strive harder! Have faith & guidance in Him and not be downed by my pessimistic side. People think I study all the time and have zero fun..Love life too? C'mon! The hell with rumors! If you guys only knew me! Anyways, I still have my goals to reach. And one of them is to finish college. I know I can if I can just focus! Just exert a little more..and I'm almost there.
Let this hopefully be another one of those fun & experiencial semesters of my college years!
