Subic '10

The Nightingale company invited my family as a special guest to their Subic getaway! This Subic trip was different because we went trekking instead of the usual banana boat ride/night party/zoobic etc. I actually didn't know that we were going to trek so i was wearing slippers the whole time which made the whole thing harder and more challenging. I slipped a lot of times and almost fell on the ground. It was more of a time-with-nature kind of trip, which i actually liked. Gotta love the environment and the trees were just really REALLY big. Our tour guide for the trekking was an aeta and she was already 52 years old. She told us the different uses of the trees found in that forest or whatever you call that place. She actually also told us stories about the trees (e.g balete)...but i dont know if she just made that up or what haha. Then she made us straws and cup out of bamboo. The way she made em was fascinating like it only took her a minute to make a cup. After the trekking we had lunch and we used banana leaves as plates. It was a very educational trip and I got to exercise.

boo school, hello summer!

finally, finally finally! finals are done, first year of college is done. torture is done (for now)...Gosh! im just freakishly-happy-to-the-max-like-shoot-man-i-wanna-scream-to-death!

Life is good! :> God is love! Summer is awesome!

I honestly don't even remember what happened during my finals, it all seemed so fast and slow at the same time. I don't know how to explain it but really..the agony was worth it. Happiness is truly best achieved when you know you worked hard for it! I didn't fail anything. I'm not an irregular student and although I'm not on the dean's list this sem it's still super okay! College is fun when you don't just give a care! :> (yeah yeah i said that!)

The RLE finals was ok, Thank God The CI who graded me was nice :> heehee, or else..

So! it's officially HELLO SUMMER! (even if it's only for two weeks) Gotta spend it wisely (whuuts?!!!) I hope i get allowed for our ACTION PACKED adventures :>

I can't believe im free! hahaha. and i'm going to Subic tom! Just the right way to start this summer!

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM RIGHT NOW! :>

I'm better off when i hit the bottom

Problems are like **** you find on the road and the worst part is when you accidentally step on em. We're all susceptible. They're inevitable. Sometimes they come in the most unexpected time and become our worst enemy. We try to solve our problems everyday, we push ourselves to the limit just to make things okay again. We deprive ourselves of happiness and learn to suffer in silence. This is probably because we don't want others to be involved. We don't want our loved ones to suffer the same pain so we isolate ourselves and let go. When problems pile up, it become hard for us to stay on track, we get lost on our way and fall off. We give our best to figure out how to solve the problems but they just won't go away. But you know what the funny thing is that no matter how enormous the problems we face everyday, we never fall down on our knees. We try and try to get things right. It's like when gravity pulls you down, even if it's so strong, you still have this thing to hang on to, to prevent the fall. Sometimes, we hold on to faith, to love, to hope, to people's kindness, to pride... we hold on to basically anything we can find just to firmly stand on both feet. But why can't we just have ourselves beaten up by the problems we have? Why can't we just surrender? I know we all have different answers for that but the reason why i don't want to give up is because I know that eventually it will pass as long as faith is there. We believe and so it happens. Nothing is quite impossible. When we choose to be positive, everything changes, when we live our lives chances are, the negative aura disappears and everything brightens up. just as long as we believe, as long as we choose to stand, to love, to embrace change, to live reality and believe in dreams.. we will never fall. In fact we'll learn to grow and we change for the better. No matter how many problems we have everyday, we still remember that giving up means you're a loser and standing tall would mean and feel greater than that of winning for with problems solved...a new and better life emerges in your horizon

I found this in my Starbucks planner last year. Honestly, i don't quite remember when and why i wrote this but it was written at the first page of November. I know it sound weird and most of what i said are redundant.. but i like it hahaha :)) Product of emo-ness but seriously i dont remember why i wrote such things :))

Before I study for Ana

The last two weeks of school is going to be one HELL of a roller coaster ride and right now I'm not on the vertical loop so i get the chance to blog. YAHOO!

My sister is right, I think I'm being too hard on myself. Like how i was so annoyed at the thesis defense because it wasn't as hard as i though it'd be. I mean, If I'm like an ordinary student I'd be happy about that, right? But I'm not. Well for one...I really worked hard on that thesis (oh my gosh, those two sleepless-ish nights) and i needed something to challenge it. but the defense was useless so no..no challenge.

But seriously, I'm not all that TENSE AND WORRIED ABOUT STUFF. I just simply CARE about things. AMP! that didn't make sense! haha

I don't know what to blog about anymore but the gist is that I'M MISSING OUT ON LIFE AND I JUST WANT TO GO OUT OF TOWN AND FORGET ABOUT NURSING. I know i took the word nursing lightly when i was in high school BUT man! everytime i hear that word i just wanna scream. The stress of the course can kill me anytime.

So i just hope i can survive this week and next week. I don't know what's gonna happen to my finals. Just thinking about the RLE return demo gives me the goosebumps, It's like my worst nightmare the only difference is that I know it's gonna happen.

I'm starting to really DISCERN if i should still pursue medicine.

So, It's all about God bless, goodlucks, brain, coffee and food for next week.

WE ARE...PARAMORE!
