Relapse..

I just woke up. Hay. I had a relapse last night. I got so tired and I forgot to take my medicine yesterday morning and forgot to bring for lunch. I went to UST yesterday to accompany my auntie. She was supposed to be admitted yesterday but apparently, all the doctors who needed to sign her clearance (for surgery) were in a meeting. Since we live nearby (yah right..), they sent us home anyway. Oh ja. Vellie nice.

Then I went to SM to accompany my mom. She needed to buy all her requirements for the cosmetology class that she's taking every Saturday. It's like the world's turned upside-down! I assumed the responsible and mature mom while she became my doting, irresponsible and weird daughter. What kind of a student buys all the requirements a night before class? Ohmigod. My mom. Hay. It was unfortunate that SM didn't have all the stuffs in her list. Thank goodness HBC (the one-stop shop for all your kikay needs) in Value Point was still open. But we failed to acquire black polish and exfoliating gloves... Hay. That's 'nuf punsihment to my mom.

Anyway, I ended buying some stuffs for myself as well. I bought "Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind" VCD because it was on sale. I bought it for 99 pesos only. I watched it this morning and I enjoyed it. Wow. After watching that movie, well. I was left wishing that there was a company (such as Lacuna Inc.) that could erase a part of your memory. Well, everybody here knows what part of my memory I'll want to erase. Hahaha.

I got sooo tired yesterday so I got sick.. again. Darn it. But I'm ok now. Just need to take it sloww baby... Haha.. No seriously. I'm not allowed to go outside the house the whole weekend. My gulay. Imma prisonerrrr! Halp! Get me out of here. I don't belong hereeeee!

Hehe.

Post Script:

Shai, hey hey! for some reason I can't place a comment on your site. I really appreciate calling me your "friend" even if i'm this totally complete stranger. And no, I don't think that you're some evil girl. Girls can be crazy sometimes. J/k! Hehe. Anyway, I got your number in my comments box. Don't worry, if i'm not busy within this week, i'll send you a message (like: 'shai, what's your favorite scary movie?' and i'll turn out to be a psycho killer. Hahaha. Just kidding!)). My life isn't perfect. I just chose to live life the best way I can. I shut off all the "bad energies" and horrible moments in my life because they're not worth it! :)

I'm sick

Really. Every part of my body hurts. :(
My eyebags are starting to show.
My eyes are watery and my nose is stuffy.
I'm so sick.. :(

Would anybody like to take care of me?
:(

Minsan sa buhay ng tao...

Nais kong ibahagi sa inyo ang piling mga letratong kinuha ko mula sa aking telepono. Pagpasensyahan niyo po sana dahil mababa lamang ang resolution ng aking camera kaya hindi ito kasing-ganda ng mga letrato na inyong nakikita kadalasan sa pahina (web page) ng ibang tao.

Ang pamagat ng koleksyon ng mga letratong ito ay: Minsan sa buhay ng tao...

"Paa"

Ang paa ay instrumento upang marating ang dapat paroonan.
Gamit na gamit ito sa mga taong hindi mapirmi sa isang lugar.
Iba't iba ang kulay, kapal ng kalyo at haba ng kuko.

"Paghihintay"

Maaga pa lamang ay nakapila na ang mga taong ito.
Buhat pa sa malalayong lugar at iba't ibang estado sa buhay.
Narito sila para sa iisang dahilan.. Ang makamura sa check-up
Susuungin ang ano mang pila at pagod...
Ganyan ang pagtitiyaga ng mga taong ito.
Nakakalungkot mang isipin..
Pati pala buhay mo kelangan mo pang ipila..

"Laro"

Ang mga paslit na ito'y wala pang kamuwang-muwang..
Wala pang alam sa mundong kanilang ginagalawan.
Walang isipin, walang bayarin at walang problema...
Ang tanging bagay lamang na mahalaga ay kanilang paglalaro.

"Deboto"

Tuwing Miyerkoles, lahat ng mga tao ay dumadagsa sa Baclaran.
Mga panata, deboto.. Ilan sa tawag sa mga taong ito.
Bumibisita sila sa bahay ng Panginoon para sa isang dahilan...
Ito ay ang tumugon sa tawag ng Diyos sa kanila.

"Tulala"

Ilan lamang ang mga taong ito sa mga "deboto."
Marahil ay humihingi sila ng awa o nagpapasalamat sa Poon.
Relihiyoso ~ Matinding paninindigan sa awa ng Diyos na Maykapal.

"Kandila"

Ang kandila ay simbolo ng pag-asa.
Ang mga taong itong nagtitirik ng kandila ay umaasa.
Umaasa sa biyaya ng Diyos.
"Pag-asa for only one peso donation."

"Alitaptap"

Aandap-andap ang mga kandilang nakabalot sa tela.
Wari'y mga alitap-tap na lumilipad sa hangin.
Mahina ang ilaw, subali't pagsama-samahin mo'y malakas.
Parang sa tao,
Ang pagkakaisa'y nakakapagpalakas ng isang samahan.

Bummer

I've recently acquired a pair of white Birkenstock slippers. My mom bought for me this afternoon when she went to Makati (without me). I'm planning to wear it tommorrow with my "a-bum-ination" green capri pants. I called it such (I got the name abumination from Ross' blog) because this capri pants seem to "accentuate" my gift of round ass (there. I said the word ~ asssss!). I don't wear it to school because: 1. I just salvaged the goddamn pants from my fashion grave. and 2. It didn't fit before. So much for the abumination green capri pants... I'm gonna watch The Chronicles of Narnia: Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe tomorrow. I'm getting a lot of bad feedbacks from Harry Potter fanatics. Duh? What do you expect? In terms of fantasy books, the people are always comparing JK Rowling's Harry Potter with CS Lewis' Chronicles. It's not fair because both authors deserve the attention from book lovers. They both came up with such stories of different plot. Well. I'll be the judge tomorrow. Hehe. :) So my day tomorrow is planned. Tomorrow, I'll be going to PLM to submit my med requirements and wait for Jeff (we'll be watching Narnia at 1:20 pm ~ Rob place, Ermita). I heard that they'll be watching The Family Stone afterwards (Christine's treat). I ain't sure if I'm gonna watch Family Stone because as what I've said before... One movie per week (money!! precioussss). Besides, Narnia will probably end at 4:00 pm so I don't think I can watch another one (I'm trying to avoid the "rush hour").

So that's it. :) i'll be posting my review (if I have one.. ;)) tomorrow. I need to finish sewing my DIY purse kit. Wait.... hep. hep.. You heard me right. I'm sewing a DIY purse. It's a tough job. Tsk tsk. :)

Weird neighbors...

Before I sleep, I would like to share to you the magical transcript of my neighbors' conversation last night:
(Not verbatim)

(around 11 pm)

Girl 1: Hello? Hello? Ayan maayos na ba ang reception? Naririnig mo na ba ako?

(I heard giggles)

Girl 2: Oooyyy.... (Teasing)

(WTF? Big deal?)

(Then I went to the family room to use the computer, the next thing I heard was...)

Girl 1: (with Bisayan accent) Ang height ko? 4'11 ako. Mahaba ang buhok ko, gumagamit nga ako ng Rejoice kaya long and selky (????) sha. Mataba? Ay hindi ako mataba. Katamtaman lang... 28 lang ang waistline ko no!

(Oh wow. Next time that i'll be in their street, I'm gonna look for a girl with that description.)

(Then I fell asleep for a coupola minutes then this is what I heard next...)

Some girl: (again with Bisayan accent) Hello? Puwede ba kay Joy?

(Response)

Ahh. Walang joy dyan?

(Response)

Ok... Di mo ba ako kilala?

(Response) (Syempre hindi. Tonta ka day. Tonta! Wala ngang kilalang JOY, ikaw pa ang makilala???!!!)

Ahh... Ok. Puwede bang makipag-phone pal na lang?

(anooooo?! Tangina! ~sori sa mura~ Ano ba un? Kung ako ang kausap mo baka binagsakan na kita ng telepono! Adik! Langya, ano ba yan..!)

And that was it. I was too overwhelmed with what I heard and I decided to just continue answering my laboratory manual. They were talking about Jorross and Roxanne (Star Circle) and it was too much for me to listen. I'm gonna sleep early later so I won't hear any of their "magical conversations." Hello?? Puwede makipag-phonepal? Noooooooooooo!

San ka pa? Sang village ang may mga taong nakikipagphonepal ng hatinggabi? Alam ko yung mga sekyu lang ang ganun. At take note, bored ang mga gwardyang yun at hndi bangag. Oh wow. Grabe. At least "novelty" ang environment ko. Wow. Wooow.

Nababangag na ko... At hindi dahil sa natulog ako ng 1:30 am ah. Tsk tsk.

Masakit ang ulo ko...

Hay. Sobra. As in... Pero ito lang ang masasabi ko. Punyetang mga kapitbahay yan o! Ang galing mambulahaw sa hatinggabiiiiiiii! Sakit ng ulo ko! Buwiset!

Another boring afternoon

I'm here at Alva (computer shop near our school) right now. Obviously, I can't post the pictures from my birthday yet since they have no bluetooth connection here or an ir-port. So i'll just post 'em maybe later if i'm not that busy. Ugh. The keyboard here sucks... What do you expect from a computer shop like this? Especially this one which is also a call-center station by night (yup, it's true..!) Oh well. I'm just plain bored so I'm writing something here. Hay.

Hay. I really wanna watch King Kong. But I'll be watching Narnia this Wednesday, so one movie at a time. Tsk tsk. :(

Gonna wrap this up. I can't write with all this people round me staring at my monitor. Privacy people!!

birthday details

Will be posting details either later or tommo eve. All I know is my stomach's gonna burst with food. Oh God. My little cuzin greeted me at Yellow cab. I was really embarrassed. He screamed out: "Happy Birthday Ate Abi!" And all of the customers there just stared me. Like in any mo they're gonna ask me to buy their food. Good thing the pizza (Take note: I bought NY Classic, 18", pictures will be posted) was already for pick-up. Oh God. My lil cuzin is soo cute.. He kissed me on my cheeks pa. My bestfriend and his beau will be dropping by maybe 7ish to eat what's left of the feast. She promise to bring red wine later. Ugh. I still prefer the sake she made us drink last christmas. Oh well. I'll be leaving in few minutes, Imma gonna watch a movie with mom and prolly drop by at Starbucks to have coffee (wow, so much for being healthy this year). I got what I wished for. Not totally, but I'm living a dream right now. Living the rich lifestyle. Carefree. Ha! Not totally irresponsible, but i'm close. Yup yup! Later senoritos, hasta manana senoritas! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABBBBBBBIIIIIIIIII!
Oh yeah.

Happy birthday..

Happy birthday to me.. Happry birthday abi!

Hay

Hay. So bored. I wish I just went to Jeff's condo. Hay. My blockmates are there prolly having fun. But I can't go cuz even if I have money to buy food, transpo, gimik... My mom would definitely kill me if I go without asking permission. I'm dead meat if she sees that I'm not home. Yeah. She still treats me like i'm 9 or 11 years old. I can't go anywhere without asking permission from her and my dad. I can't party legally. I can't have anything alcoholic put into my mouth because i'm not allowed to be drunk. I can't go home extremely late except when I'm doing thesis. Darn it. Some life i'm living. Tomorrow, i'll be 20 years old and for once, I'd like to do something nasty. I'm Miss-too-goody-shoes to everyone. Responsible, nice, ms. good mood... Ugh. They're nice comments about me, but sometimes I want to be this hip, cool teenager. I ain't gonna be young forever (except if they invent an age-reversal machine in the near future), and my point is, I can't party or enjoy my life when I'm already a med student or a doctor. I'm much more focused at that time. Hay. I wish I could be somebody else just once. Experience how it is to have a real and exciting life, even if it it's just for one night. Yup. That's my birthday wish. But it's not possible. I've been so accustomed with all of this, that I'm afraid to go beyond my established norms. I'm not a rebel. Guess I'll be stuck forever wondering how it's like. Ugh. That's my goal for this year. Try something new and know how to make a compromise to parents. V. good. Ugh. But now, I'm still stuck here. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I'm sick and tired of watching re-runs in cable. ughhh. So bored. bored. bored. bored.

I wonder what the guys are doing at jeff's? Hmm..

I'm really pissed off. Really.

Birthday girl tomorrow...

Tomorrow's the big day. Hurrah hurrah. (Not.) Actually, I'm not sure if it'll be a happy day tomorrow. Hay. Me and my dad are not in good terms (we're not technically speaking to each other since christmas). Plus, I have this bad incident with justin yesterday (we had a fight.. or ako lang yun) and I decided to stop talking to him. I mean it. It's been like almost 24 hours since I sent him a message and I didn't check his friendster. I don't know but this maybe the start of a whole new thing. Finally, I can move on. As in for keeps. Hay. I just feel bad because I did try to be friends with him. I can't do anything about that anymore. I'm so tired of trying. Maybe this is the sign that I've been asking God for so long. Hay. Another chapter ended. :(

The earlier post was supposed to be posted last Thursday but due to some technical/network error, I wasn't able to publish it. Thank God I'm using wbloggar (thanks JC for recommending this program), because I was able to save my post and publish it at a later date (which is today). Hay.

I can't go out today because:

1. I have no money.
2. My mom's not here. All of a sudden, she decides to take up cosmetology.
3. It's going to rain.
4. I have nowhere to go. All of the malls here suck.
5. My bestbud steph have Saturday classes. So I can't go to her house and watch DVD with her family.
6. I need to finish my laboratory manual in Bio122.
7. I need to finalize "planning" for my birthday. Seriously. I just want to sleep tomorrow.

Hay. I'm penniless and nobody to talk to.

Ulan
Cueshe

Lagi nalang umu-ulan
Parang walang katapusan
Tulad ng paghihirap ko ngayon
Parang walang humpay
Sa kabila ng lahat ng aking pagsisikap
Na limutin ka ay di parin magawa

Hindi naman ako tanga
Alam ko na wala ka na
Pero mahirap lang na tanggapin
Di na kita kapilingIniwan mo ako nag-iisa
Sa gitna ng dilim at basing-basa pa sa ulan

Pero huwag mag-alala
di na kita gagambalain
Alam ko naman ngayon
may kapiling ka nang-iba

Tanging hiling ko sayo
Na tuwing umu-ulan
Maalala mo sanang may
Nagmamahal sayo. Ako.....
Lalalalalalalalala....

Hay... A technical post.

Today, I found myself actually enjoying Ma'am De Vera's toxic toxic class of animal physiology. Although I wasn't really 100% listening to the discussion (I was multi-tasking again: blab,write, laugh, and listen mode.) I learned so many things from her. I have summed up all of these into a list, so you guys enjoy the following fun facts:

1. Technically, you don't "emote" by your heart, instead by your limbic system (composed of olfactory lobe, the "hippocampus", the ever-famous "amygdala" and basal ganglion). This system is responsible for our "primal" emotions. What are these "primal" emotions you may ask....? This includes: fear, sexual drive (I pipped out "lurrrve!" but it wasn't actually a primal emotion), anger, anxiety and others. In addition, I watched "Chemistry of Love" last February 14 (2004 I think) and the narrator told that the amygdala is the one responsible for triggering the "love" sensation that we feel. Sorry for those hopeless romantics because your ever-famous cheesy line: "I love you from the bottom of my heart" is a goddamn misnomer. It's supposed to be like this: "I love you from the cortex of my amygdala." (it's not pleasing to the ear) But seriously, what's the point of telling that to your love one? (unless you're both a science geek) We've associated the heart (which is just a muscle) to love and for me, it would be taboo for people to stop being romantic and just be science freaks. Life will not be great if there's no concept of romance. You stop being happy because you live without purpose. Objectivity vs. Subjectivivty. Hay.

2. So much for emotions... Do you wonder why alcoholic beverages have a quick effect on our motor responses (i.e. movement) compared to nicotine in cigarettes? It's because alcohol readily diffuses (passes) to the Blood-Brain Barrier (epithelial lining which prevents the blood to come in contact with our brain). In contrast with cigarettes, the nicotine in our bloodstream cannot pass through this so-called barrier. So there. Kahit mag-yosi ka pa ng isang sako, hindi ka mababangag, mamamatay ka lang sa emphysema.

3. Another popular belief: "When you sniff Rugby (contact cement), it would destroy your brain." was also disproven in our class. The chemical gas which Rugby emits cannot penetrate the BBB (Blood brain barrier), so it has no direct effect on your brain. But I'm not saying that Rugby is allll goood... Addiction to sniffing Rugby is bad because it sort-of have a bad additive effect on your body. I don't know exactly what Rugby can do to your mind or body, but I think (theory) that it has a hallucinatory effect (like LSD and other popular "dangerous drugs") and it whacks your head (heaven...!) (sabi kasi nila, pag naka-Rugby ka daw, feeling mo busog ka.. But recently, the Rugby company (Rugby is a brand, contact cement is its generic name, mind you.) told the masses that they had already removed the "addictive" chemical substance in their product. I don't know what chemical substance, but when I took a sniff (uh-oh abi, Rugby girl) of the so-called "reformulated" Rugby, it smelled the same from the original. Well. I don't know. Maybe they were secretly putting magic dust (shabu) on their product before as some sort-of mind controlling device (just kidding! I don't want to get a law suit from Rugby!).

Oh well. I'm really tired of typing, so I'll be posting the rest tomorrow (I don't have classes on Friday). Enjoy! :)

==============================
Post-script:

Last Tuesday, animal physiology laboratory:

Ma'am De Vera: Oh syempre pag nasira na yung CNS (Central Nervous System), mawawalan na ang isang hayop ng sense of....
Class: (in chorus)...balance!
Abi (disturbed): ...direction. (serious tone pa un a)
LeeAnn: Tumawa.
Dianne: Tumawa.
Jian: Tumawa.
Abi (disturbed pa din): Bakit?

(Note: We were discussing balance. Ewan ko ba kung bakit nasama yung direction? Patawa. Para akong bangag.)

Deboto

Hay. Kakauwi ko lang galing sa Baclaran. Sobrang pagod kaya sorry walang matinong post. Bukas na lang po!


Shai: I'll link you too! Thanks for calling me "a friend." :)

Fruits of sleeplessness

Prose on MMFF:

1.
If gore is what you seek,
Then 'Kutob' is your pick.
Marvin's a psycho,
Kills everyone but the ho.

2.
The rat race is on indeed
And Enteng's on the lead
MMFF awards night will be a funfare,
But nobody will really care.

Haha. :) I'll submit this to Jessica Zafra's blog site

I should be a math major?

You scored as Mathematics. You should be a Math major! Like Pythagoras, you are analytical, rational, and when are always ready to tackle the problem head-on!

What is your Perfect Major?

Comments: Grabe. Highschool pa lang ako sinasabihan na akong mag-actuarial math (yung sa insurance) or mag-accounting ng mga teacher ko. Pero mas gusto ko pa din ang bio. Wehehehe. :)

Hay.

I feel so bad right now.

Thanks jeff for the good write-up.

Nakakabagot.

Ewan ko ba. Bakit ako ganito. Wala lang talaga siguro ako sa mood.

Hay ulit.

kakatapos ko lang tapusin yung pahabol ko para sa report sa animal physio bukas. hay may gulay.. sana makapag-paacetate pa ako tomorrow morning! achoo.. hay. sisipunin ata ako. hay. oh well. :p bukas na lang ulit pag-uwi ko. sniff sniff. maggagawa pa ako ng reporter's notes para sa physio. karir kasi ang gagawin ko para sa procedures eh. dapat with matching demo pa. kaya dapat maaga akong makatulog para mahiram ko yung achoo! sorry ulit. yung kymograph sa stockroom.. hehe! make your group mates proud abi! hehe. till tomorrow. babushka!

Holiday withdrawal syndrome

Hay. Kahit ano pang gawin at isipin ko... Wala na akong magagawa dahil simula ngayon may pasok na kami. Hay. Feeling ko, ito na ata ang pinakamaiksi kong christmas break sa buong buhay ko. Pramis! Ngayon ko lang naranasan na pumasok agad after New Year. Nakakatamad nga eh. Dati kasi, sa haba ng bakasyon, bumabalik na yung drive ko at naatat na akong pumasok, kaso ngayon sobrang bitin. Nag-dalawang isip nga ako kaninang umaga na huwag munang pumasok ng isang linggo! Manonood ako ng sine the whole week at walang gagawin hanggang mainip. Hay. Kaso hindi naman puwede yun dahil mapapagalitan ako ng nanay ko. Ayaw na ayaw pa naman niya na umaabsent ako dahil tinatamad ako. Hay... Nakakatamad talaga.

Ayun. Sorry kung tungkol sa katamaran ang post ko. Tinatamad talaga ako ngayong araw eh. Ngayon lang to. Susme.

Narinig niyo na ba ang pamahiin na: "kung ano yung ginawa or inasal mo noong January 1, magiging ganun ka sa buong taon."??? Nakakatawa kasi kahapon ito ang ginawa ko:

1. Natulog
2. Natulog
3. Natulog
4. Kumain
5. Natulog
6. Natulog

Ibig sabihin ba noon, isang taon akong magiging antukin? Hay. Pero kahit tulog ako kahapon, sinikap kong maging masaya. Syempre. Malay mo totoo pala yung pamahiin na yun. Ayoko namang maging miserable sa buong taon di ba!? :)

Maiba ako ulit. Noong Sabado, napanood ko yung re-run ng Scrubs. Napaisip lang ako dun sa narration nung bidang lalaki dun tungkol sa mga sakripisyo ng mga med student para maging duktor. Hay. Yung babae kasi dun (si Elliot) iniwan yung boyfriend niya dahil kelangan niyang maging focused sa pag-aaral niya. Hay. Napaisip ako tuloy.. Kaya ko kayang i-give up yung ganitong lifestyle para maabot ko ang pangarap ko na maging doktor. Hay. Pero nakuha ko na yung calling ko eh. Kasi napanaginipan ko noon na hindi raw ako Bio tas hindi rin ako puwedeng mag-med. Ewan ko, pero paggising ko, ang sama sama ng pakiramdam ko. Yung parang ang sama ng loob mo, yung feeling na may problema kahit wala, iyon... Yun yung naramdaman ko. Naisip ko na, sa med lang ako magiging masaya talaga. Yun yung paraan ko para makatulong.. at syempre, (pansariling dahilan) para yumaman.

Hay. Ewan ko ba. Ayoko ng palang maging Forensics expert. I don't have enough guts to deal with corpses everyday eh. Gusto ko ng magigng parang si Dr. House o maging part ng NIH. Haha. Sorry kung naiimpluwensyahan ako ng mga palabas sa TV.. pero ito lang ang sigurado ako ngayon. GUSTO KONG MAGING DOKTOR! Ang sarap kaya ng feeling pag tinawag na akong: Dok Abi. Lintek. Nag-ambisyon na naman ako. Dok Abi. Dok Abi. Dok Abi.... Sarap pakinggan. Hehe. Dra. Abigail Ruidera M.D.

Ang Taray!

In State of Denial

No. We don't have classes yet.

'Nuf said.
