Haay.

"I'm going away," he said. And I want you to know that I'm coming back. I love you because..."
"Dont say anything," Fatima interrupted. "One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving."
But the boy continued, " I had a dream, and I met with a king. I sold crystal and crossed the desert. And, because the tribes declared war, I went to the well, seeking the alchemist. So, I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you."

I MISSED the fifth day of Misa de Gallo. So much for promising not to miss any. :( This is all Paulo Coelho's fault, I just couldn't put the book down, so I ended up staying awake till past two in the morning. The mass starts at 4 so I had to be up by 3. At exactly 2:57, someone tried to wake me up, but I bargained for three more minutes of snoozing. I finally jumped out of bed at around 5. -_-

All I could catch was the 6am mass. I hope, hope, hoooope God accepts compromises. :P

Mumble

To escape the 10am-10pm scheduled brownout today, we left home not really knowing where to go and without any concrete plans of what to do. Two hours later, we found ourselves seated inside the theater, with candies and burgers and sodas.

Yeah, Happy Feet. :)

Of course, trailers of future pictures were shown at the start. I particularly would want to see Bridge to Terabithia, Spiderman and Harry Potter 5: the first because it looked interesting, the second because Spiderman changed costumes, and the third because Daniel Radcliffe had his hair cut short. :P


Honestly, I found HF boring at first. At first. And to keep myself interested during idle scenes, I was intently listening to Elijah's voice while trying to imagine what his face really looked like while doing the dubbing, hehe. I guess from the moment it started, I was expecting it to be at once entertaining but it wasn't like that really, maybe because it was appraised too highly so I anticipated much, or I'm just not in the mood. But I still say it's a good movie! :) It gets better as the movie progresses. (Serine, siyempre naman.-_-) Nakakatawa, nakakatouch. Nakakaamaze kung paano naintindihan ng mga tao sa huli na nagugutom na ang mga penguin kaya sila nagsasayaw. ^_^ hehe. :D

Although partially shown, the movie isn't about romantic love or filial love - it was more of a kind of love for your fellowmen (or fellow penguin, whatever) and for the community your grew up in. So people! It was really made for politicians, haha. :D And for people who cannot sing like me. :)

Malas lang talaga, I cannot dance too! Alam ko na tuloy kung bakit.. dot, dot, dot. hehe. Maybe in the future they'll make movies about penguins who can't sing and dance. Ayun, abangan ko na solusyon dun! :P :D

*done blabbing.

P.S. And maybe, Santa would want to give me Jane Austen's Mansfield Park this Christmas! In addition to the new 1Gb iPod shuffle he promised. hehe. :) Sorry, epekto ng optimism ni Mumble sa Happy Feet. :P


*done blabbing, really.

Friday the Fifteenth

Happy Birthday Lelai! :D

My hands are still a little dirty from clearing out a whole cabinet of books, photos, papers and scraps from the stock room. Susunod na kasing sisirain yung kwarto na yun. Heck, I enjoyed it! :D I was able to read my elementary essays, the best pala yung 'Ang Pinakadakila kong Pagpaparaya', ay sus, di ako matigil sa kakatawa kahit mag-isa ko. (haha) :D Ang dami, dami, dami ko na palang napagdaanan. Ang dami, dami, dami na rin palang dapat itapon. :P

At ang dami, dami, dami ring homeworks and reading assignments. Today's supposed to be the first day of the almost three-week Christmas 'break'. Quote-unquote, di naman kasi talaga break sa dami ng iniwang gagawin. :( Hell weeks pa nga ata. At wala pang baon!

Pero excited ako sa Simbang Gabi bukas. I can't quite feel Christmas here at home because of the construction, at least starting tomorrow, I'll have a little taste of it at the start of the day, hanggang 25th. :) I promised to myself I'll complete all 9 days! Promise talaga. ;)

Promises. :P I'm starting to write my list of New Year's Resolutions. (Daig ng maagap ang masipag!) haha. :D I just hope I won't break any. Last week lang ang dami ko ng nabreak na promise, hindi pa tuloy ako nakakapanood ng Happy Feet. -_-

Talo ang med kahapon sa Lantern Parade. :( Okei lang, still enjoyed shouting med-tarat-tarat along Taft. :)

Of Time and Changes



Amazing how time flies. Almost all of us, or at least, Ate, Ate Zen, Tricia and I noticed it a while ago during the baptism of Baby Joaqui, my second nephew in my dad's side. :) My used-to-be playmates Kuya Jay and Kuya Allan are now fathers, and my Kuya Junzen's already abroad to work there. Instances like these make me realize that things are no longer the same, and soon will get more different. Nakakatuwa lang kasi kahit may mga anak na sila, the moment magkita si Kuya Allan and Kuya Jay, ang batian agad, "Nakita mo na yung bagong labas na Superman?" :P

It was a great relief, that some things didn't change, and I guess they never will. :)

Pakiramdam ko minsan mabilis ang panahon, pero madalas parang ang bagal. At minsan, gusto kong may baguhin, pero ayaw ko ring may magbago. -_-

Ward 3 and the Garland Hunt

Even with the tree lit and adorned with wrapped medicine bottles at the entrance, the Ward 3 of PGH didn't feel Christmas-y. At all. What I instantly saw were a couple of rows of bed filled with patients looking very hopeless and weary (or at least, that's how I see them). Whew, so this is where I'll be for the next three hours. Ooo-kei.

At once, Danni and I saw Daniel at the entrance, with Cedes and Bean. The three of us, Danni, Daniel and I were assigned at the Ward 3, while Ced and Bean's set to work at the ICU.

It was actually our second time to be assigned at a department in PGH. :)

I was assigned first with Alvin and Nicole at the Gastrointestinal Clinic, and boy, was it an experience! I remember during our first day at the clinic, Nicole and I were asked to assist Dr. Reyes in performing colonoscopy to a very old patient. She tried to struggle and break free from the very painful, not to mention awkward, procedure and my task was to firmly hold her legs, while I barely could keep mine upright.

After that first procedure, things got a lot more easier. Most of the time all we had to do were watch procedures, transfer patients to the recovery area and sing with WRock's Wednesday love songs, hehe. :D

Things were different with Ward3, charity ward kasi. It was a lot more depressing, facing patients who didn't even have the chance to eat breakfast that day, who didn't have complete treatment supplies, who are losing their sanity due to their illness and who are unconcious, unaware of when they will open their eyes again.

One doesn't even have his left leg anymore, and while Danni was assisting the nurse in dressing the wound, I complained to Kim and Daniel that my knees are feeling wobbly because of what I'm seeing.

Buti nga may tuhod ka pa para manghina was Daniel's counterclaim.

I silently agreed. :D

On the lighter side, it was a fun experience too. :D We had the chance to 'aspirate' distilled water in preparing meds, wear suffocating but very stylish (haha) N95 masks and were even given the chance to inject. :D Feeling doctors konti, hehe. :)

I realized that what I am expecting in being a doctor is all the glamour pala, forgetting the fact that backstage, things will be messy and depressing and can make your knees feel weaker. Starting that moment, I tried to make space for those kind of things in my head. But that never lessened my enthusiasm to take up medicine, on the contrary, the idea that I should be there was reinforced by what I saw. If that is what I'm set to face in the next few years, then so be it. :)

~After that, we had the earliest Christmas Party with the IPC doctors. :D The best ang Pinoy Henyo pag doctors ang nanghuhula! Sobrang scientific, haha. :D

~That pm, I went to the mall with Ate and Ira to buy a gift for Mom and Dad's anniv. And kailangan ni Ivan ng garland sa kanyang parol for Family Day, so ang aking napakabait, as in sooobra, na bestfriend ang naloka sa paghahanap. :) Owe her bigtime for that, hehe. :)

So yun ang reason kung bakit may Garland Hunt ang title. :D hahaha.

Happy Anniv, Ma and Daddy! :D

Bluff

Ganito yun. Basta pagalingan lang magsinungaling, mananalo ka na. :)

Tagaytay, Sabado ng gabi. Sa ilalim ng full moon at ng Eucalyptus tree, naisipan naming maglaro ng baraha, wala na kasi kaming magawa. Sayang ang lamig sa labas at ang kumot na nakalatag sa damuhan.

‘Ganito yun,’ sabi ni Kuya Arvin. ‘Basta dapat magaling kang magsinungaling. Pag naglatag ako ng nakabaliktad na baraha, at sinabi kong apat na 10 yun, puwede niyong hulaan kung totoo ba yung sinabi ko. Puwedeng apat na 10 nga yung nilapag ko, o hindi. Kung walang kokontra, ako ulet ang magbababa. Kung meron, at tama kayo, mababalik sa akin yung baraha. Kung may kumontra sa akin at mali siya, sa kanya mapupunta yung baraha.’

‘Dahil may apat na deck, may apat na cards din ang bawat number. Pag sinabi kong tatlong 10 ang nilapag ko, puwede niyong buuin at gawing 4, magdadagdag kayo ng isa pang 10. Siyempre, puwede kayong manloko. Puwedeng hindi pala 10 ang ibaba niyo, mabuo niyo lang yung binaba ko. Kung walang kokontra, ikaw ulet ang magbababa. Kung meron, at tama sila, mapupunta sa iyo pati ang baraha ko. Kung may kumontra sa iyo at mali, sa kanya mapupunta yung baraha.’

‘Kung ikaw ang nagkumpleto ng deck at walang kumontra, ikaw naman ang maglalapag ng maglalapag. Ulit lang. Gets?’

‘Unang maubos ang baraha, panalo.’

Tumango ako. Pero sa totoo lang, hindi ko maintindihan. Nagbalasa. Nagpamigay. Manunuod muna ko, sabi ko sa sarili ko.

Nauna si Kuya Arvin. Tatlong 10 daw yung nilapag niya Walang kumontra. Naglapag ulit siya ng tatlong baraha, tatlong 10 daw ulit yun. ‘Bluff!’ sabi ni Ate Daisy. Pinakita ni Kuya Arvin yung nilapag niya, tatlong 10 nga. Yung unang lapag pala niya ang kasinungalingan. Napunta lahat kay Ate Daisy yung baraha. :)

A, madali lang to, nasabi ko sa sarili ko. Hindi na lang ako magsisinungaling, lahat ng ilalapag ko, yung totoo.

Naglaro. :) Naubos na agad ni Kuya Arvin ang baraha niya, magaling manlinlang. Dumadami na ang cards nina Ate Daisy, Alaina, Ate at Ellise. Pero maya-maya, nauubos din. Basta diskarte lang sa lokohan, sa pagpili ng tiyempo, sa pagsugal ng pagkakataon.

Hindi pa rin ako nagsisinungaling. Naghihintay lang ako na may mabuong deck, tsaka ko kukumpletuhin. Minsan dumadami ang cards nila dahil sa akin, dahil pag sinabi nilang ‘Bluff!’ ako, napupunta sa kanila. E hindi nga ako nagsisinungaling.

Hindi nga ako nagsisinungaling, hindi naman ako nananalo. E sinira ko na nga ang purpose ng laro, para lang hindi madagdagan ang hawak kong baraha. Hindi rin naman umuusad ang pagkaubos ng hawak ko. Walang kwentang kalaro. Walang butong sumugal, walang angas manloko. Wala talagang kwenta.

Talo. Pero masaya kasi nasubukan ko at marami akong natutunan tungkol sa sarili ko.

Tumulala, o tumula.

It’s either I am doing the right thing by waiting for the right time, or I am wasting time by letting it pass by. It’s either I am set to face the perfect moment, or I am currently missing it. Should I stay hanging at the edge of the cliff? Or should I jump? Would I fly?

Anu man ang piliin ko, meron at merong iiyak.

One thing’s sure though. The more I think about it, the more I become unsure of what to do, and the more I become unsure of what to do, the more I become sure that this is all worth the trouble. :D

Remake

OMG was all I could say after seeing the empty space in front of our house, where our clinic used to stand, a while ago. Couldn't really blame me, I mean, what's been there since forever is now replaced by just rocks and dust and scraps of metal. And the sink.

Before the last sem ended, I was looking for a big change, and now I think God is mocking me. Ayan ha, kung hindi pa malaki yan, ewan ko na lang. Bilis naman kasi ni Lord, nakakagulat. The news that we're having our place renovated came out just a few days ago, and now it's happening already. No one's used to leaving their house whole and arriving home with half of it gone.

Home, yes. Although what's been demolished so far is just the clinic where my Mom, Dad and Auntie Gil practice, it still feels like our house's already been bruised. The clinic's our home too; I could recall countless experiences in it, as far back as my first few vaccination/crying moments. Seeing the broken pillars and walls made me feel a slight surge of sadness. Bye.

Ugh, cut. Drama queen, drama done.

I'm actually, really, 50% happy and 49% excited that we, after years of waiting, are finally rebuilding our home. :D The last percent's for a little sadness, well, for one, big changes will always make you feel that you should resist it, and secondly, we're not going to be able to put up Christmas decors for this year's Yuletide season, but then, those are just small bubbles in the cake. And what a yummy cake this is all going to be.

The biggest solace would be having your own room. :D Sa mga taong may sariling kwarto, never take that opp for granted, hehe. :D I've been sharing a room with my two sisters for as long as I can remember, and I enjoy being with them: sharing stories, secrets, clothes, sharing everything. But I cannot wear the same jeans forever. Isn't it as soon as you feel you couldn't fit anymore in your old jeans, even with your favorite-est cargo, you have to let it go? You buy new, larger ones. And come to think of it, we can still do those things even if we're in separate rooms. It would superb to finally have your own space, your own bed, your own door. It would be superb to finally be in control, even over just a tiny area.

Pang. Before the whole reconstruction thing, my parents agreed to my staying in a dorm idea, due to my late tue-fri classes and saturday exams. After, down the drain goes the plan. The last thing we need nowadays is another hole in the coin purse. :P

No prob with me. :D

Four months, Serine. Four months. :D

Magpapasko na! hehe. :) Napansin ko kasi kanina sa simbahan, may mga parol na e. :P At nakabukas na ung angels na ilaw na may hawak na trumpet.

E kasi naman, parang hindi ber-month, napakainit. Well, except for the fact na 5:30 pa lang, wala ng araw.. at ang mga National Bookstores, namumuno na naman sa Christmas trees. :)

Better start burning cds of xmas carols. hehe!

Rambling

Simplicity appeals to me more than extravagance.

In the street, I would probably notice more a shirt-jeans-ponytail girl than a fully made up one. Exorbitant clothes would catch my eye, but later I would end up buying a plain shirt. I admire those who do not consider themselves higher than others; those who laugh at small things, those who work invisibly and those who speak succinctly.

With artlessness comes sincerity, with naivety, depth. :)

F1: New Game

Already bored.

It has only been a week since I returned to reality (medyo nawala kasi ako nung sembreak), and I’m bored already! -_- I look at my watch more than anything during classes, commanding it to move a little faster. (excluding Hum 1, which I love. :p )

Pat’s right. We miss Block14. Don’t get me wrong, I love my block. ;) It’s just that, it’s more fun when you’re with the whole class. Yeah, yeah. The more, the noisier, the merrier. :)

Evaluation.

I’ve got a cool Hum prof (Ms. Joson: This class will kick ass! :D), and I think my block would have to agree. I’ve learned a lot already from her. :)

National Bookstore is not, I repeat, not a bookstore. No, no.

Kom 3’s, well, kinda like Koms 1 and 2. Enough said.
My Chem prof speaks like Sir Ed, my ____ (insert any form of performance) coach.
Bio Lab. I almost lost the ocular eyepiece of the microscope. CJ’s a good lab partner. :)
Bio Lec. H**bie reincarnation. But at least he’s the one who wrote the module. :P (delikado tong mga sinusulat ko)
Math. I’m back with the ‘eager’ group. hehe. :) My prof started well, but I think a good start is all we’ll ever have. (delikado na talaga to!)
Soc Sci prof will have a hard time in making the class believe in her propositions. :P
PE. Skirt and heels. Ugh.

All of them left a great deal of work for next week. Kamusta naman yun.

ALREADY BORED. :

Back and ahead

While I was taking care of my enrollment a while ago, I couldn't help but think of how I first enrolled for college.

Just a sem ago, during my first enrollment, my dad dropped me off at UP, and after a little while, he returned and accompanied me till I finished enrolling. But today I went there alone and took matters into my hands. I was like, hey, i grew an inch within half a year. :P

In sense of maturity, that is. And tomorrow I'll be another year older and things aren't getting any simpler. Next sem, I'll be taking more units and will be going home a little later than before. Very soon, I'll be in my med proper, and then in residency, and then..

I really don't know yet. All I know is that it's time to start taking things more seriously.

*Kanina, Joanne, Bean, Lorraine, Daniel and I ate at KFC (because of Daniel's craving for orange chicken, hehe). Joanne (or was it Bean?) Basta, someone asked if they should bring home the bucket that goes with the meal.
Bean: Bigay na lang natin kay Sir Edan, lalagyan ng rock collection niya.
Lorraine: No, we can use that as tabo, pag walang shower..
Daniel: No, pwedeng shower yan, butasan mo yung ilalim,
lagyan mo ng hose, tapos balik mo yung takip na may butas, shower na!

I laughed and thought, just a little lang pala. :)

No to decaf!

Coffee Overdose's flyers contain this message:

You Know You're Drinking Too Much Coffee When:
You answer the door before people knock. You get a speeding ticket even when you're parked. You speed walk in your sleep. You haven't blinked since the last lunar eclipse. You have a bumper sticker that says: "Coffee drinkers are good in the sack." You grind your coffee beans in your mouth. You sleep with your eyes open. You have to watch videos in fast forward. The only time you're standing still is during an earthquake. You lick your coffeepot clean. You spend every vacation visiting "Maxwell House". You've worn out your third pair of tennis shoes this week. Your eyes stay open when you sneeze. You chew on other people's fingernails. The nurse needs a scientific calculator to take your pulse. Your t-shirt says, "Decaffeinated coffee is the devil's blend." You're so jittery that people use your hands to blend their margaritas.


I love coffee, but FYI, no, I haven't done any of these.

Yet. hehe.

I think maybe I'm beginning to enter the 'too much' range because it's 2am and I am blogging! :P

I just got home from the 'Tigtigan Terakan' event at the parking lot of SM City Clark . The festivity, whose title literally means tugtugan at sayawan, is held every year in Pampanga. San Miguel Beer is the main sponsor of the event so it was kinda like the Pampangeños' version of Oktoberfest.

Beer is available free of charge in every corner. Newfound friends Santy, Gershon and Karen enjoyed every glass. :) Instead of beer, my sisters, Dad and I ended up drinking coffee at the Coffee Overdose booth. And instead of singing and dancing with the bands and the rest of the crowd, we merely chatted the night away.

ANG KJ! hehe.

We're just not really exposed to that 'gimik' (as how Gershon called it). When asked what is my sort of 'night gimik', I admitted that I really don't have one, I never really go out late, and it was actually my first time to go on such event. (batang-bata pa! haha.)

Oh, but I had fun there. The setting's pretty romantic at the end: drinking coffee under the rain while watching a fireworks display. Who would have thought you could have that from 'rakrakan'? :P

Coffee, anyone? :)

Thirteen More to Go

Although the first sem's a big new 'thing' for me, adjusting to it was easy, and getting tired of it came faster than I anticipated. I get up early, go to school, go home, study, and then go to school again. It's so, uhm, routine-y. (pardon, ugh.) And to think i'll be doing that for the next couple of years.

Seven years, to be exact.

No, Im not giving up on med nor on studying. I don't know, I guess I'm just looking for a change. A big one. (And no, I don't want to dye my hair green.)

This sembreak ceased the pattern. :)


Two days before I can finally say 'one-sem-down', I was paired off with my Ate at the Denenes All-Women Badminton Tournament. Aside from the fact that it would be a good way to start the break, we are also eyeing the nine thousand peso first prize money. But after being placed at the Junior's age group - an open level -, oh, we are nothing but a hopeless pair. (Bye, 9000!) :( There could be varsity players, players from the training pool, etc. We didn't really know who will we be up against. What the heck, we said. Laban na lang, hehe. :)

There were 24 pairs in the level, and we were divided into 6 groups. Fate was on our side, I guess. Kinaya ng powers ang mga kagroup, and we made it to the quarter finals. :) The strong pairs kasi were all grouped together, leaving us with just a pair of people smashing like crazy to compete with. (hi joy and bernice. :P )


Four pairs left. We faced Joy and Bernice in the semi finals round. Nagkadapadapa na ko e, relaxed na relaxed lang sila. hehe. :) They were amazing. :) Didn't make it to the finals. :P

For the 3rd place title, we still have a last fight against a pair with a very supportive barkada. -_- It wasn't just a racket fight, it was a 'cheering competition' against my team and theirs. It was really affecting my game because what their group was blurting out isn't exactly nice. Insults at errors belittled our efforts. We won the first set, lost at the second. We started a third deciding set, and after a smash in the middle of a rally, I felt something on my right leg.

No, not cramps, not now.

Hindi naman ako nagccramps e. Noon pa talaga, very lucky. :P Of course, my cameraman slash driver slash stage father came rushing in the court, trying to calm her crying daughter. :P And the barkada? Insults at errors aren't enough, there just had to be laughters at injuries. :) E andun ang tatay at ang ate kong matapang, napagalitan sila, haha! :) Other people came rushing in too, Kuya Michael, Tita Phen and Tita Kate with a Gato jug in hand. AJ of the match control even helped. :) Ate Lit gave me her leg support. :) They were asking me to surrender the game. After a dozen sets, an earful of insults and a bucket of sweat and tears? No way. The show must go on, haha. :P

We continued the final set. Good thing most of the time I was the server, so I just had to stay in front while my ate does all the work. :) Their momentum was lost in the delay, maybe. We won the final set, 14-21. :)
That was the sweetest of all sweet victories. :)

Just the thought of having your dad and good friends around to support you is more than enough to console my hurt leg. But then again, it was my first time to step up on the 3-1-2 stand (anong tawag don! hehe.) and we weren’t really expecting to come home with awards in hand, so I was very, very thankful we won. :) It was definitely worth the cramps! :D

The following night, Sunday, I tried to compress a semester of lessons in my head. Walang tulugan! hehe. :) Monday was my Math finals. Last day of the sem, first of the break. I remember Monday so well, I had exams, went to Rob, then to Diliman, and then to SM to pick out a corporate attire for my sister. It was a very tiring day. I was tired from the sleepless night before that day, from all the walking, from choosing clothes, from trying hard to think of something to say, and from trying hard not to say what I was really thinking. :)

Come Tuesday, I had a small reunion with my highschool barkada, Ira, Eunice and Les. :) Kwentuhan, kantahan, iyakan? hehe. :) (almost). Sobrang namiss ko pala sila. :) Ended the day with a nice meal of lugaw and crispy tokwa at Bernas, yeah. :)

More reunions with badminton barkada naman that week: in qeueings and dual meet and bingo's. :P Most memorable part of those was the dancing in the parking lot! haha. :) More to come I bet. :)

First week. So far, so good. :) Ayoko ng pumasok!! haha. :P
