Random Monday

With Aya and J

Leche! Ang saya lang ng araw na to! :))

Happy birthday Ei!

Thank for the treat, Ei! We love you!

(We call each other Triso not because we were born with chromosomal abberations. We're called Triso because we're weird when we're all together. And that's not a bad thing. This group showed me that being weird is good because it means you're courageous enough to show people how insane you really are deep inside.)

Midterm Week

I really cannot find the words or construct the right sentences that would describe my midterm week. Last week's midterm was probably the toughest out of all the stressful weeks of my life. It was my very first to experience just an hour and a half of sleep for 2 consecutive days (though I know that the only person liable for this is myself due to my inability to manage my time wisely).

I didn't really study that hard though, most of my time was spent making kwento with my brother or eating my midnight snack for more than an hour and dancing in front of the mirror for another hour to get my energy up (but ending up getting tired after) then another 30 minutes thinking if i should just sleep first and study later. So yeah, as you can see I procrastinate...a lot.

It as been my problem since forever, I cannot seem to find my "studying time." I know that my brain is at its maximum at midnight but my body just wants to sleep during that time. So I dont really know how to fix this problem haha. I hate the fact that there's no 24 hours coffee shop in sucat. I can concentrate in coffee stores even if there are a lot of people...i dont know, it's the environment, the ambiance and the fact that no one bothers to disturb you.

Anyways, midterm week is done. Can't believe I survived. haha. I'm very thankful for my friends, like SUPER! as in I wouldn't have survived without them. :) Even though we were stressed, we just kept on laughing during our group study at Starbucks. SATURDAY WAS ONE OF THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE!!!! :> As in john and I were just laughing for 15 minutes non stop and it's been a while since i laughed like that so yeahh...ang saya! :))

On our way to Amici. John was pretending to be a statue.

EATING is the best stress reliever.

John studying for nutrition

Mapagpanggap :>

okay, eya. Ikaw na smart.

A date with Marga

With Midterms just around the corner and left and right submissions of Case studies, Concept maps and Nursing Care plans, It's been really hard for me to meet up with my first year college barkada (because our sections were reshuffled last year). I mean we rarely hang out and sometimes we don't even see each other in school.

So last Tuesday and Wednesday, I finally got to talk to Marga (We haven't talked for the longest time). We were at SB for 3 hours both days we never got bored. Even if we aren't really the type of friends who would sit down somewhere and share stories or talk over the phone every night.

( I missed you Margs! This was like our ultimate bonding experience haha! but seriously! I like sharing kwentos with you. )

I was reviewing for Pharmacology Unit test while Marga was talking about her love life. HAHAHA! We don't talk about the same things but we manage to understand each other :)

Plus, thank you to the Barista (the name's JP, if i'm not mistaken) for giving us free short peppermint mocha! YEY!

Me and Margs!

I had See's with me and Marga had carbonara (no picture though)

I also got to watch our old chem lab videos during first year on Marga's phone and I terribly miss those days! :(

Although I've been stressing on a lot of things these past few days, I realized that there are really lots of things to be happy about everyday! So smile :)

Whaddup 2011?!

After..hmm i'm not entirely sure but i'm guessing Four years? Yeah. After four freeakin years, my dad has finally spent his Christmas and New Year at home. This was my Christmas wish last year (My personal wishes during birthdays and Christmas were/are never material) and I'm super happy about it. If there's one person I would want to see every New Year, It'd be my dad because he's the firework enthusiast and the enthusiasm is immeasurable. Whenever he's home for New Year he makes sure he has the best fireworks display in the neighborhood or the loudest. His fireworks are actually not the bongga ones you see in the sky during midnight because he likes those sinturon ni whatever type of paputoks. I personally don't like it because it's wayyy too loud for my ears to tolerate. As in after that two minute of firework explosion, my hearing stopped working for like 3 seconds. But, oh well, He's happy I'm happy, who cares if I go deaf. hahah!

The down side is that my brother wasn't here to celebrate it with us (although, he'll be in Manila on the 11th [i'm mega excited]) but I got to talk to him on the phone and that was the closest way i could celebrate New Year with him. I miss you, brother.

Anyway, I think that 2011 will be a good year (that's what i actually say every year, but y'know, It's better to hope for the better things rather than the ugly ones so, no... don't blame me) because i'm up for the whole "i'm gonna be a more responsible, healthier, wiser person this year." I really have this feeling that there are lots of wonderful things in store for me this 2011(my fingers are crossed).

So, as we all know New Year means a new beginning, a start, a time for change...And this year I plan to really change (in a better way 'fcourse). I plan to stick by my resolutions (which i will be listing and explaining in this blog entry, if i dont get tamad) and follow them no matter what. This time, i'm gonna be strict on myself. I have to impose these resolutions and read 'em over and over again so that I wouldn't forget. I realized that last year, I was such a hypocrite. I would say things to myself ( to do this, to do that) but end up not following them then at the end of the day I would just regret everything...that i should've done this rather than doing that blah blah. and that really sucks.

(resolutions in a different entry)

Thanks for the Memories because They were Grrrreat!

Ate zubie, ate pearly and I walked around the village a while ago before having our dinner. When we usually do this...we become a bit nostalgic. We reminisce about our childhood days.

There were lots of children playing on the street this afternoon and ate Zubie suddenly said that we used to be like them before.

When we were still kids, my cousins would stay here at home for the holidays (and summer or any event with long weekends)...so we would spend most of our time playing outside from 3pm to 12am and our parents were just in the garage drinking and sharing stories. We're a big family and we all know that we have this responsibility of being accountable for one another so there's no problem. Our village isn't big anyways so playing outside til 12am isn't a big deal (plus, the titos and the titas play with us :P). Yeah, we're cool like that! So, we practically played EVERYTHING as in from pantintero to piko to tagu-taguan to habulan to langit-lupa to agawan-base to monkey in the middle to basketball, volleyball, football, dodge ball, bicycle racing, pepsi-seven-up!, to tumbang preso to boxing to bahay-bahayan to barbie dolls, to toy cars to beyblade to snake and ladders and monopoly to pusoy dos, tong its and GOD-KNOWS-WHAT-ELSE. We also fought each other. One time, we were divided into two groups and there was like WAR in the house for a week. But everything was just part of the fun! and you know what was the best? They provided us with midnight snacks!

So yeah, my cousins and I are really close and we've shared great memories no one can ever replace. We've spent so much time with each other that when we start talking about it (during reunions), the stories never end.

Today, well, we're all 'grown up'. Most of my cousins are already abroad and some of them are already working or too busy with college (like me :)). So when we get the chance to see each other, we never fail to make kwento all those fun times and we never get tired of hearing them.

While we were strolling in the village ate Zubie suddenly shared something about winning the lotto. So everyone knows that someone won that 700M grand prize from the lotto and YES WE WERE THE ONES WHO GOT IT.

JOKE langgggggggg mehn! (coz if that happened I would be blogging about me... travelling Spain and Greece and not about this).

Anyway, Ate zubie said that if she got that much money, she would probably give it all away to our relatives and friends. Like she would give me a ticket to the World Cup or a tour in Spain and she would build a hospital because a lot of us are nurses or in the medical field. She would give my brother enough money so he can establish his own company in Australia. She would give one of my cousins (who is taking up HRM) her own restaurant etc etc etc.

You know...It's very pleasing to hear those 'wishes' or 'dreams' especially because they're meant for others. I'm really grateful that even if we've gone our separate ways, we never forget to look back on our pasts. As cousins, we're thankful to have each other's back and I'm amazed and surprised how time and experience have changed and made us better persons. Its really fascinating when the people you grew up with become more worried about you... That they're happier when they get to spend money for your happiness rather than buying something for themselves.

(By the way, I'm very proud to say that i've spent and maximized my childhood days very well. Thank you to my parents who never stopped me from exploring the world and just letting me fly and learn from my mistakes. I was never like those kids who ran with towels on their backs or gets called up by their parents to have their clothes changed. I was never spanked or shouted at for falling off a mountain bike and going home with wounds and blood everywhere. I acted like a boy and I didn't care if I had dirt all over my face. I wasn't spoiled but I had my daily tantrums. I was never forced to get a perfect grade. Everything was just a matter of learning. I passed. I failed. I never got any awards in preschool or in gradeschool. I played A LOT and didn't care. The important thing is that I learned. I learned that when i fall down a bike, i get tons of scars (which are forever gonna be there) so the next time i ride, i would be extra careful.)

random. cheese. sabog. long blog entry.

Spontaneity

We went to highlands last month and i know its late to post this...but I super loved that day and it's gonna be depressing if this year ends without seeing these photos on my blog.

VIVA ESPANA! CAMPEONES DEL MUNDO!

SPAIN WON WORLD CUP 2010 FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY!

VIVA ESPANA!

My sister and i together with our cousins decided to watch the finals at National Sports Grill in GB3....and dude it was awesome! Never knew there were lots of football fans in the Philippines haha. I also loved seeing Spain fans wearing the Liverpool and Barcelona jersey! Never experienced something as awesome as this and the best part was shouting VIVA ESPANA! VIVA ESPANA! inside the car with the windows open, and fans wearing ORANJE were just laughing at us! ahhahah! fun fun fun <3

So now that it's over, i gotta start focusing on my studies which i've totally ignored since WC2010 started hahah. time to pull up my grades. VAMOS SYDNEY? hahha. NOPE NOPE, IT'S STILL VAMOS ESPANA!

I LOVE HOW I SUPPORTED SPAIN FROM THE BEGINNING TIL THE END! <3> CAMPEONES! CAMPEONES! OLE OLE OLE!

Ke Nako

It's time!
My four year wait to the biggest sporting event in the world has come to an end!
I'm going to try to watch all 64 games of the world cup without failing any of my subjects this sem! hahaha! Goodluck!
Watched the first two games last night - RSA v MEX and FRA v URU! Both games were disappointing because the games ended with a draw. 1-1 and 0-0, respectively. The first goal of the world cup came from the host Nation, RSA by the awesomest nameeee ever! siphiwe TSHABALALA! :> However, the stadium was silenced by Marquez's equalizer just few minutes from the first goal. I'm personally not (yet) impressed with the RSA NT's performance last night. If it weren't for Khune (GK) Mexico could've scored twice during the first half.

OH WELL, there are 3 games to look forward to tonight! :> :> :> so stoked to see Messi play later! and ENGLAND OHHMAHHGASHH! Hope the English team will sink USA later. heehee!

RSA NT celebrates after scoring the opening goal!

Dos santos and Marquez of Mexico

I can't believe i actually went!!1 I LOVED THE WHOLE NIGHT! although something happened BUT SHOOT! WHO CARES! I GOT TO SEE THEM AND I HEARD THEM! I JUMPED AND SHOUTED! every minute was worth the freakin' wait! I LOVE YOU GUYSSSS!!! thanks to hayley for the tweets! haha! Too bad josh wasnt there but its good to see the york brothers and of course, zac and jeremy! I'M STILL ON A HANGOVER AND I BET THIS IS GONNA LAST TIL THE JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE CONCERT! That was such an incredible and unbelievable night, one i'll never ever evereverever forget!!!!! PARAMORE, I SWEAR TO GOD, YOU ARE WOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! <3

The moron test

Thank you, Cea's itouch app! Thank you for calling me intelligent! HAHA.

(I was outside bernice's house for like 30 minutes because they couldn't hear me knock on the door and they were so into playing THE MORON test they forgot to check their phones [i was calling them]....they only found out i was outside coz i called nicole and asked her to tell cea i was already outside. fml :)) =))

Cea and I slept over at Bernice's house last night. twas fun..but we really missed nicole and alex :( Bernice freaked out when we watched The Orphan ( i super love that movie!) and cea's too smart...she guessed the whole story after watching like 15 minutes of the movie. I met Bernice's frog..UNSKINNED frog, Ted. After dinner we drove around the village. I can drive a bit...now ( though still not ready for some express way action, hihi). Then..we got so hungry after watching Orphan we ordered mcdo..but i was actually craving for jollibee. ehh?

tas, we watched pa pala..this movie about kidneys...so after watching half of it (we got bored so..) bernice kept on calling me KIDNEY SYDNEY *tickle tickle*. kaasar HAHAHAHHA.

People should be complete next time!!! please? It's not as fun if we're incomplete.

Christmas 09

The only thing i really want for Christmas is celebrating it with my whole family like..5 years ago? I'm not exactly sure but that's the last Christmas i celebrated it with a complete family. You see, my dad's a mariner and he's tied with the contract so he can't always go home for Christmas. It's really sad. But at least my brother's here. I really hope that next year we can celebrate it with my dad. I really miss him and Holidays without him isn't really fun. It's like when you were still a kid and you would hang your socks near your bed or on your staircase hoping to receive gifts from Santa Claus and you wake up early the next day realizing that the socks are still empty. yeah, It's pretty much like that *sigh*. However, there were still a lot of things that i was happy about this Chritsmas like Nolan coming home from Afghanistan. He's a marine and he goes to all these dangerous places and yeah you know, war..so I'm really happy that we got to see him. He's so batak! haha. And of course, like everyone who goes abroad, the first thing they miss about the Philippines is Jollibee. I remembered my brother who ordered 3 jolly Spaghetti when he came back from Australia and kuya yuya who got a 2 piece chicken meal and one Spag. when he arrived here from Japan. Nolan, on the other hand, got a BUCKET of chicken and he ate all of 'em. and for the record, he wasn't satisfied...he wanted more! :)) Another thing that i was so excited about is my cousins whom i didn't get to see last Christmas, had their Christmas vacation here at our house. Tita Lita came home as well from Japan. I'm hella glad to see these people and with all of 'em present, the house became a Home again. Yeap! with the tong-its, 123 pass, lucky 9 and pusoy dos sessions! Eating sardines for lunch and our all nighters! Going to MOA for no reason, DVD marathons and walang katapusan na kainan. Merry Christmas! :)

"I am like a hair God"

This totally made my day today :)) I was reading http://kickette.com/ and I found this!!! I'll never get tired of reading this. Kickette, you are awesome, the captions are just hilarious!

Fernando Torres: Oh, for the love of… Don’t give me the bitch face again, Martin. It’s not my fault I have highlights of gold.

Martin Škrtel: Highlights of gold? More like highlights of heavy-handed and non-natural. I will bitchface you. I will bitchface you without even respecting you enough to make eye contact.

Fernando Torres: At least I can grow my hair. I have styling options with my new doo.

Martin Škrtel: I disrespectfully disagree. Your new look is offensive to myself, my people and small animals with weak constitutions.

Fernando Torres: Kickette likes it. That’s gotta count for something. Plus, look at how authoritatively my new hair blows in the wind and rain. I am like a hair god, reigning my mastery down upon you, the hairless.

Martin Škrtel: It looks bouffy and over styled. Are you a man or a pageant girl? I will call you Nandrina. And your hair doesn’t so much blow casually in the breeze, it stands up awkwardly at attention in the wind. My hair is the hair of a man who has no fear of the breeze nor the wind. But enough talk. It’s distracting me from my bitchface. I’m outtie.
