California, here I coooooome!
9:10p


I've been wanting to blog since I got home from our beach getaway, but yea, since I have no interesting stories to tell (all I did was sleep and eat), I scratched the idea of blogging about it. I've uploaded the photos over at my multiply site, so go and check it out[;

I got my ticket this morning. Actually, I went to pick it up yesterday, but since stupidity kicked in, I forgot to bring my passport with me. Nice move[;


I'm flying alone. Yikes.
I haven't packed my things yet. Double Yikes.


I'll keep this short, my bed's waiting. Must. Sleep. NOW. Haha[; Updates when I get back[;



Oh, oh. Jack Sparrow is love[; Have a safe week, everyone!




5.21.2007

Simple life. Not.
9:49p


Sometimes, I just feel like going back to basics.




I wish life's much easier.




5.17.2007

Usually, the romance pendulum swings back and forth.
8:16p


I can probably show you my sister's dance routine if you'll give me a minute to prep myself. Haha[; I've been hearing their music routine for the past couple of hours, over and over again. Yea, she turned our patio to a dance studio - minus the walls and mirrors, that is.

I'm currently enjoying my stay in 'kilig land' for the past days. Yea, that kind of kilig moments that makes you blush after reading someone's sms. Haha! So high school. Pagbigyan nyo na ko! I haven't been in this state of 'kiligness' for so loooong. I almost forgot how it feels. Exagge. Haha[;

So yea, I've recently rekindled my communication with mr. hotstuff (don't mind the nickname, it just popped in my head), and yes, I'm all over him once again. Haha[; Wait, again? Yea, again. No more details. *wink wink*


And I thought I was too old to be giddy like this all over again.[;

*Boracay this weekend. Woohooo!*




5.16.2007

Summer school's out! *hurrraaaaaah*
8:56p


After our final exam in NCM 103, I went home for a bit to pack my stuff for our class getaway. Went back to school and headed to our destination: Calumpit.

It was humid, and stinky aroma were everywhere. Haha[; But that didn't stop us from having fun. Videoke, dancing, endless laughter, games, and just simply enjoying the freedom from summer school. Saraaaaaaap!

The place was surrounded by fish ponds, awesome view. Stomach's were all full by 2pm. Endless songs were punched in at the videoke machine, running here and there to witness some games. Had a me-moment by the pond, tamang emote. Relaxing e. Haha[; After those few rounds of beers, we played volleyball, just for fun and headed to the nearby pool after. Nothing beats this kind of moments - one thing I'd definitely miss after graduation. Tsk.

aaah, nature

"c'mon guys, flying v!" (mighty ducks)

"bawal sumingit!""palo sebo"

I'll keep this short, I'm sore all over (I swam all night, pervs. haha!)




5.14.2007

1:05p

Let's keep this election clean.
RIGHT.
Nah, this will be a politics-free entry. But yea, no matter how crappy it gets, I still have high hopes that one day it'll all get better. (faith, man, faith)


Duty-free.
I'm done with summer school! Well, not really. tsk. I still have one exam tomorrow then that's it, I'm done.[; Me and my sibs are hitting the beach this weekend. Sabi nga ni chou, 'a well-deserved break'. Another family getaway for us since my parents are there already. You guys know how much I love my fam[;


7am duty on a Sunday.
No, that didn't stop me from getting on the freeway last saturday night.
Left the house around 8p, headed to Eastwood to pick up Mac and Xok, then went to El Pueblo for Malu's birthday/send off party. It was like a mini reunion for ms users (Brea, Row, Aries, Trinsy, Yelle, Mac, Xok, Malu, Hyku and Louie). Haha[; It was a fun night. I felt bad because I couldn't stay any longer. Damn duty. But I had loads of fun just being with them. Gaano nnman kaya katagal bago tayo magkita-kita? At bakit malayo ang south? Tsk tsk. Love you, guys![; Bid our goodbyes around 1am, dropped of Xok (Mac was with Row) at Starbucks Morato, home by 1:30a. I almost got late for my duty. HAha[;


Some photos:

5.12.2007

May talent!
10:13a

I missed home. Seriously.

I think I missed the big bed the most (next to my family, of course). After changing clothes, I went to dreamland around 4pm, and yes, woke up at 10. It was a close fight between getting up and continue sleeping. And guess who won? Next thing I knew, it was already 3am.[;


Spending days at the mental institution definitely changed my perception to those who are mentally challenged. I used to be one of those people who carefully inches her way out of 'harm's way' when faced with such individuals. Fear would get the best of me. I think that goes for everyone, if I may say. There's nothing to be proud of with my reactions, so please do not judge me with what I have just said.

I learned a lot during the interaction phase of our stay. I was amazed on how intellectual they are than other 'normal' people. Their ideas were quite twisted at times but nevertheless, they really earned my respect. I was happy with the result of our interaction, they were all cooperative when it comes to the games and programs that we prepared for them. Although some would throw fits, they were tolerable at times.

I shed some tears on our last day. I know, I know. I'm emotional and that's a no-no if you want to be a psych nurse. Well, I can't help it. They showed their gratitude by participating on our little program. Some of them sang, danced and recited poetry.

We weren't allowed to take pictures inside the institution so my phone and digi cam weren't put to use.

You guys left a mark on me. I thank you all for the wonderful times that we've all shared together. Thank you for participating in our programs and thank you for the warm welcome. God bless you all!


Last duty tomorrow! *yeba* I'll be spending the weekend in Boracay with my family. Yes, bonding moments. Haha[; It's too early to think about the classes, I'm just about to start my vacation!


Malu's leaving soon=( Send off party later at El Pueblo. I'll miss you, kapatid!


By the way, I'm one of the finalists on the category Best Blog Name of Candy Magazine's Blog Awards. Do support. Haha[; Support my friends as well[;

8:31p

I got my title from a message sent to me by Von last night. I didn't know that there are such insividuals who cares about this kind of stuff. But hey, it's a cool fact.[;

I received a surprise call from my sister around 10 this morning saying that they were at the airport already. "Taiwan airport?", I asked. (they have a connecting flight to Manila via Taipei when I last checked their itinerary.)

"NAIA!"

They're here! I was wrong about the May 7 ish. Haha[; My parents are dead sleepy in their room right now. Kuya told me they had a drinking spree with my Tito Joseph earlier. So that explains the wine glasses and the green label hard drink on the table. Tsk. Jetlag + hangover = Good luck!

So yea, tomorrow's going to be our first day at the mental institution. I feel sad and excited at the same time. Sad because my family just got here today and I have to pack my things and stay at the rented house for 5 days. Tugush. Excited because of the new venue and new experiences we'll be encountering. Yikes! Good thing our rented place is just near the big ass mall. Yay![;

My Lola's doing fine now. Thank you, God! This is my sister's shot of her at the hospital. Cool, huh?


I'll keep this one short since I still have to pack my things. And I still have to indulge on my goodie bag that my sister shopped for me.[; Thanks, sis. Love you!
Have a safe week, everyone!




5.04.2007

And suddenly it's May.
2:28p


Gaaaaaah. There's just 4 weeks left before classes starts!

I've been moping around the house for the past couple of days. I can't go out because I'm broke. Practically doing nothing. We have this 5-day break from our summer duty, and yes, it's quite a relief. Well, I've accomplished some things; a) revamped janna's blog site and b) tweaked my page as well.

There are few additions on my site; new header and an additional vertical bar (where I placed some of the add-ons from the other bar). I've been planning to change the whole layout, but yea, I'm too lazy to start one. There are lots of ideas swarming over my head but I couldn't quite figure out on how to execute them. Told you I'm not artistic. Ha!

On a lighter note, my brother celebrated his 24th birthday yesterday. No big celebrations since it's just the two of us here. He just went out with his girlfriend. Celeb might be next week. My family's comin hooome![;

So yea, you won't be reading mushy-filled-with-drama entry here since I'm just going to blab about random stuff.

Speaking of random stuff, our mental institution week-long duty was moved to next week. Nice. We haven't looked for a place to stay yet. We might go out tomorrow to look for one. 7a-7p duty on Sunday plus Earlzon's birthday and a 6am duty on the next day. Good luck on that one.

Blah. Candymag's finalists will be out on the 7th. I think I have an idea on who might get in (2 of my co-bloggers). Wild guess.


I think I'll watch the whole 3 seasons of Grey's again. I'm bored, man.


Mother's day soon[; Hail to thee, Moms[;

I was about to doze off when my sister sent me a message on my mobile telling me to log on on my messenger: "Ate, ym ka may sasabihin ako." Reluctantly, I quickly typed in, "text na lang, antok na ko".

"Nasa hospital si lola."

I felt numb for a moment. And quickly turned on my notebook to know what just happened. I'm sleepy, and was exhanging messages with Japs, and now this. Good grief. Oh boy, I'm scared.

Just when I needed to use the calling features of my messenger, it wasn't working. Talk about timing.

My sister told me that Lola was quite disoriented since last night (8am in their timezone right now) she was blurting out things in a slurred speech and that she couldn't remember anyone but my Pop and Tita Densa. Thinking that it was just the effects of her medicines, they didn't do anything about it. Until this morning (california time) when they were trying to wake her up, she wasn't responding plus, she was drooling. Bad sign. They called up 911. They said that it was hypoglycemia, my Lola's actually diabetic (that, we didn't know). Immediate action was given: sugar. She began talking again, still slurred, "Don't take me to the hospital", was the only sentence that they understood. My sister told me that it could have resulted to stroke if immediate response was delayed.

Tears were practically flowing while I was talking to her. I sent a message to Mum telling her to call me. Still no response though.

She was supposed to go with them tonight. She's supposed to be here on Monday. But with what happened, I think I'll be the one to accompany her on her flight back here.

She's the only remaining grandparent that we have. My maternal grandparents passed away years ago. My paternal gramps passed away when Pop was still young.

My sister kept reassuring me that Lola's doing fine now. And that she could talk, not in a gibberish manner. Huge relief. I'm still waiting for mum's call. I just wanted to make sure. Damn, sucky feeling. Hate it.


Be strong, woman. Be strong. I love you so much.
