i was never really sure about being a nurse.

my parents didn't coerce me to take the course.
but they greatly influenced my decision.

yesterday...
was our NSTP.
and honestly,
I IT.

actually nag-over time pa nga ako eh.
voluntarily.
martyr ko diba?
haha.
pero kasi i really enjoy being there.

okay.
so gwapo talaga yung isang intern sa ENT - where i was assigned.
at may kilig moment pa ko with him.
hahaha.
pero kahit pa wala siya,
i'm sure i'll still look forward to my wednesdays from now on.

kawawa yung mga patients dun.
i want to do something for them.

actually, naguiguilty ako dahil mag-aabroad talaga ko.
i realized that i want to help these kind of patients.
i want to help the people of the Republic of the Philippines.
(naks. hahaha.)

i realized that maybe, just maybe -
i will learn to love being a nurse.


note to self: bago ka magiging nurse, mag-aral ka munang mabuti at ipasa mo board exam a!

actually, i have a lot of things to do.

prepare for the individual discussion for philosophy1.
(sa thursday na ako at ndi pa ko nakapagpa-consult)
write our script for our N1 presentation.
compose my NSTP journal entry.
start my autobiography.
and some other school-related slash important stuff.

and yet i find myself blogging in multiply.

NAKAKATAMAD EH.

hahaha.


pero promise, gagawin ko na lahat yan after lunch. :)
i'm just taking a break.
i don't want to start feeling toxic during the 3rd week of classes.
bad omen yun.


ganda ng WANTED, nuod kayo! :)
congrats BLOCK26, LOUDEST BLOCK. haha, yea. x)

back to work.

two weeks.

of adjustments.
of meeting new people.
of going to new places.
of gaining new experiences.

of college.

my first two weeks of college.



COMMUTE.
service nung elementary. hatid sundo nung highschool. commute ngayon.
sobrang wala talaga akong kaalam-alam sa pagcocommute.
first time ko sumakay ng FX mag-isa. mag-LRT at MRT mag-isa.
na-experience ko rin mag-bus at jeep one desperate day.
nakakapagod.
nakakastress.
but actually,
MASAYA.
parang everyday is an adventure.
everyday is new.
new encounters.
new challenges.
new discoveries.
naks, lahat yan ay nakukuha ko sa pagcocommute. :))

sa first two weeks ko ng pagcocommute, i experienced:
hindi makahanap ng FX at halos ma-late na
lumagpas ung mamang FX kaya linakad ko mula PNB hanggang padre faura.
sumakay sa bus na para na akong sardinas
(pero mababait yung mga mama dahil pinapunta nila ako sa gitnang part at yung isang ale na tinawag ako para paupuin nung paalis na siya)
kausapin ng katabi kong mama sa bus.
magka-problema sa mrt card ko dahil lrt card ko ung napang-exit ko.

at marami pang iba.


BLOCK26.
new people.
new great people.

masaya ako kasi marami na akong bagong kaibigan sa block (at sa batch at sa college).
tas ang babait pa nila.
tas masaya rin kasama.
am just happy kasi through this adjustment period, i have people who feel the same way and experience the same things.
miss ko na highschool friends ko.
UPM has been wonderful, pero siyempre,
i still can't help but long for my high school life back.
i know that i will  never forget my highschool life.
and i will never learn how to un-love it.
but i also know that i'll get used to this college life.
and i will learn to love it.
someday soon.


 ACADEMICS.
PE. don't even ask.

Comm1. nice prof, but secretly falls asleep during class.

Philo1. grabe, grabe, grabe.

Nursing1. "baterol", "padiiiikit-diiiiikit"

SocSci1. wala lang.

Math11. nice prof, okay naman ung lectures, pero madugo daw exams.

NSTP. SCARY prof. pero excited na ako sa OPD.

so goodluck naman at naka-dial up ako.
namimiss ko ng tadtarin ng posts ang multiply ko every week. argh.
haha, sorry sa naghihintay ng pics nung avo outing.
promise, i'll upload them once naayos na ang connection namin. :)

driving lessons.
wieeeee. tapos na ang driving lessons ko. :))
enjoy naman at maraming natutunan.
sa una, nakakakaba talaga. feeling ko mapapatay ko lahat ng taong madadaanan namin at mababangga ang lahat ng kotseng makakasalubong namin. :))
pero nawala din naman yung takot slowly.
mas comfortable na ko ngayon.
practice practice na lang para gumaling naman ako. :))
salamat sir warren. :)

haircut.
so okay. another hair disaster. please remind me to NEVER get a haircut before any major event in my life.
so pumunta kami kagabi sa david's at riniquest si mr. ojie (siya na kasi ung regular hairdresser namin dun).
sabi ko, trim lang po at paiksian ng side bangs.
tas sabi nya, uso ngayon ung straight bangs.
tas sabi ko, ah, next time na lang po... ayaw pumayag.
tas mommy ko naman sinuportahan pa siya.
asus, mukha tuloy akong cleopatra ngayon. ahuhu.
but i learned not to care much about it...
hahaba din naman uli ang bangs ko, at after a month, balak ko na bumalik para magpa-side bangs na uli. :))

highschool.
hai, goodbye na talaga.
i can't believe i have to wake up in the morning and not go to quesci.
and not see my classmates.
and not do everything the way i had to do them for 4 years.
wah. COOP! GUARD HOUSE! FLAG CEM! SMB! AVO! QUESCI!

college.
kamusta naman yun at college na pala talaga ako.
i am nervous about the more difficult challenges ahead and the numerous changes i'll undergo.
but at the end of the day, what matters most, is that we do our best and we do everything for God.
kaya ayun, whatever comes, i know everything will turn out fine. :)


first day.
wah, first day of college na bukas.
ano kaya mangyayari? malalate kaya ako? hahaha.
i hope i can make many new friends. wieeeee. hahaha.

summer.
overall, ayos naman summer ko.
parang bitin ng unti dahil andami ko pang books na gusto basahin...
at asianovelas na gusto panuorin. :))
hahaha. ang cute kasi ng stories nila e.
ang cute cute pa ni wu zun at joe cheng. :))
