Singkong duling.

Tito Jing: Bigyan mo naman ng tip.
Jov: Oo nga, Mama. Mabait naman ee.
Mama Ai: Bingiyan ko. Alam niyo namang malambot puso ko sa mga ganyang nakangiti. Pag sinimangutan mo ko, ni singkong duling wala.
Tito Jing: Bakit ganun, no? "Singkong duling..." May singko bang duling?
Jov: *LOL*
Tito Jing: Di ba pwedeng singkong banlag? Okay na yun, kesa duling. Kawawa naman yung duling ee.
Jov: *ROFL*

Happiness, or success?

• This is a convo I had with one of my closest friends while waiting for our transport home. Hindi siya exact words, of course, but it's basically the essence of the conversation.
• Jov: Nakakamiss si Irish... Kamusta na kaya ang New Zealand?
• Ces: Oo nga ee. I can't believe she's gone.
• Jov: Alam mo Ces, nung nag-babye tayo sa kanya nung Wednesday, naisip ko "What if ako na yung aalis?"
• Ces: Aaaaw. Jov. Wag ka ganyan... Anu na bang nangyare sa papers niyo?
• Jov: IDK. Nalilito nga ako ee. i don't even know what to cheer for. Kung gusto ko bang maprocess na sila, o ayoko.
• Ces: Kasi, nakakatatak na sa utak ng mga Pilipino na kailangan nilang mag-abroad para magkafuture.
• Jov: It's not that Ces. The moment I enrolled as a BS Nursing student, I kind of chose THAT future na din. Nurses don't have much of a future here, you know that. Everyone does.
• Ces: I guess.
• Jov: Ayoko umalis Ces, kasi ang saya ko sa buhay ko ngayon dito. I have amazing friends like you. I go to a good school. I'm happy. I'm contented. Pero I can't deny the fact na kapag yung future naman ang kinonsider ko, hindi yung present, mas maganda din talaga pag nagawa kong mag-abroad as early as now.
• Ces: So, Jov, it looks to me that the big question is, do you choose HAPPINESS, or SUCCESS?
• -----------
• How blunt. Simpleng tanung lang pala nu? Naenlighten ako ni Cesdel...
• I would automatically choose happiness, honestly.
• But it's not just my future at stake here. That makes the situation complicated... Hmm.

Hey Blog. It has been a while :)

I'm sorry I've been out of touch here for a long time. Don't worry, hindi ka pinalitan ng Facebook sa Puso ko, Multiply. Honestly, naeenjoy ko lang kasi masyado ang Tumblr. Haha :)) Number 1 pa din kita syempre.

Kamusta ka na?

Ako? Masaya! Presently, I am having an amazing life.

Bakit?

First of all, it's because I finally learned the secret of moving on... Totoo pala. You can't truly move on and let go of someone you loved unless you find somebody else to care for and realize that the former was never Mr. Right.
His name doesn't echo in my head whenever I hear it anymore. I don't look for him in a crowd, nor does his face ever pop in my head. I don't dream of seeing him again. I feel relieved, more than I can explain to you, for I have already, finally, let go of what used to kill me from the inside.
He will always be special, but he will also be just a memory from now. :)

I am also happy because I am doing okay in school. Well, more than okay actually. I was a little shocked about the grades I received last semester. I know I haven't been doing my best so I didn't expect them to be high, but they were extraordinarily more than I think I earned. Or maybe I just look at myself to poorly? Haha. Whatever. All I know is that COLLEGE IS A BLAST. (I miss high school though. Does that feeling ever go away? I think not.)
So far, the current semester is going great, too. Surprisingly, I am able to keep up with my Physics and Pharmacology subject... I don't want to praise myself too soon though. Baka majinx ako. LOL :))

I've been addicted to a song by Boys Like Girls and Taylor Swift lately. It's called Two Is Better Than One. Perhaps you know it? ... And perhaps, Two is indeed better than one.

Until next blog post then, my friend.
I'm gonna upload pitures now. I missed this. <3 span="">

XOXO.

i've been thinking... :)

There is a certain amount of thrill to think about mutual love. That the person we adore, likes us back. That the one we care about, returns the favor.

Everyone seeks their happily ever after...

But lately, I've been wondering how Fate sided with Cinderella and her Prince Charming, how the circumstances allowed her a happy ending.

Are those only in books and in movies?
'Coz in reality, everywhere i turn, i see an individual ruined by the very thing we all aspire.
Love.

An so I ask, how could girls, like me, and like you, still dream of love?
Are we all just hopelessly romantic?
Or just doomed to be hurt and broken, unlike those fairy tales we grew up hearing all about?

bakit masayang kachat ang mga XY chromosomes? :))

my Ondoy experience. x_x

unbelievable.

september 26, 2009... probably the worst day of my life.

ewan ko ba bat ang bait bait ko! pumasok pa kasi. ayaw na nga ako papasukin ng tatay ko, nagpumilit pa ko.
ayun tuloy, STRANDED.

mga 10am inannouce na sa piyu na suspended ang classes.
tapos syempre patambay tambay pa... mga 12:30 na talaga kami nagbalak umalis.
kumain pa nga kami sa mcdo morayta ee. (if you call that eating. i mean, coke float lang naman inorder ko. basically tumambay lang kami)
laking gulat ko ng pagbaba namin ng 1st floor ng mcdo, baha na sa lbas. siguro ankle-deep.
ayun.
natawa nga ako ee, may special service ang mcdo.
may motorcycle silang maghahatid sa customers a little way up gang dun sa di na baha.

ee ako, due to one important stroke of intelligence (which is rare, might i add), nagdala ngslippers. lumusong na lang ako.
kaso nung patawid na kami sa morayta, d rin tlg kakayanin. haha.
nagpaa nalang yung mga kasama ko namely steph, kelvin, jhane, and aaron.

nakakatawa pa nung mga oras na yun syempre.
we could not believe we were doing that.
we couldn't believe din na nagbabaha pala ng ganun sa morayta.
kala ko sa espanya lang uso yun. amp.

LRT kami lahat ee. so pakay sana naming dumaan na lang ulit sa school papuntang gate 2.
ee ayun. badtrip ang FEU, ayaw magpadaan ng estudyante. my goodness!
nakalabas na daw kasi, bawal na ulit pumasok. WTF?!
so lame.

ee di pumunta kami sa Ever. bumili sila kelvin ng slippers.
i have pics of that moment BTW. see my album.

anyways,
we parted ways after buying the slippers. LRT 2 kc yung tatlo.
kami ni kelbok LRT 1.
lakas ng hangin!
lakas ng ulan!
GRABE. mapipiga mu na yung palda ko. goodness gracious.

the LRT ride was quite smooth.
kahit na nakakaawa yung mga katabi ko kasi nababasa sila kasi basang basa ndn ako nun.
yugn jeepney ride ang devastating.
amp.
ewan ko ba kung bakit ang tanga tanga ko.
tama bang sumakay sa dulo ng jeep, yung sa may pinto, when one knows fully well na umuulan???!!!!!!
Gawd. Stupid.

so mga 1:30, umalis na yung jeep sa likod ng Northmall.
pagdating sa balintawak... Whoa. Traffic.
super mega hyper traffic.
literal na hindi gumagalaw yung vehicles.
mga 2-3hrs kme dun sa balintawak.

worse nung nsa NLEX na.

what a sight BTW!
daeng naglalakad sa NLEX!
alam mo yung, hinde na sila nagpapayong kc wla nmang point, mababasa din naman sila?!
nakakaawa.
dagdag mo pa yung traffic din. sobra.
same as nung sa balintawak, hinde nanaman gumagalaw!!!

tapos gumagabi ndn kasi, lamig na tuloy. sabay nababasa pa ako ng ulan dhil nga sa katangahan ko.
ayun :((
i endured that for sooooo long.
gusto ko na magwala nun. promise! naiiyak nko.
hinde ko pa macontact yung magulang ko.

i was soo hungry pa.
panu ba nman, nde ako naglunch at breakfast nun tas anung oras na, hinde pdn ako nakakakain! tummy ache ng bonggang bongga.

mga 9pm nko nakadating ng bulacan.
nung time na yung i was shivering na. tapos konting galaw lang kumikirot yung tiyan ko. nanghihina na tlga ko nun... si kelbok lang tlga nag-eempower sken to go on.

sinundo ako ng parents ko sa may simbahan.
natouch nga ako ee. parehas tlga clang andun (if you know the history of my family, alam mo why that is such an amazing sight to me.), looking worried and relieved at the same time.
nakakabigla! wlang ilaw sa buong subdivision. black out tlaga. wla ko halos makita.

sabi nga ng mom ko, kala daw niya hihimatayin nko nung nakita niya ko.
kasi naninigas tlga ko nun tas umiiyak nko.
natakot daw tlga siya.

HAAAAAAAAAYYY...
ang masasabi ko na lang, it's good to be home.
kahit wlang kuryente pagdating ko, iba pdn yung relief ee.
super kain at ligo ako nun.
kakadiri yung pinagdaanan ko ee.
lalo na yung baha sa morayta, amputek!!!

thank you Lord hinde mo ako pinabayaan.
alam kong siniswerte pdn ako dyan sa pinagdaanan ko na yan.

grabe si bagyong Ketsana (better known as Ondoy dito sa pinas).
have you searched OL kung gaano kalaki ang pinsala na nagawa niya?
nakakagulat.

i hope we all rise from this disaster.
i pray na lahat ng nasalanta ay makarecover.

may mga bagay lang tlga tayong hinde makokontrol, and storms are one of them.

kayo ba? anung Ondoy experience niyo?
SHARE NAMAN. :)

coward.

time doesn't heal wounds.
what heals these are the events that occur during the time elapsed.

after a little more than a year,
i can now truly say that my heart has healed.

And believe it or not,
even without a new love,
i have moved on and let go of the past.

what worries me most is why the hell can't i grab a future...
my future.

it irritates me that i can already glimpse it,
yet i'm not brave enough to walk towards it.

BSN220.

Guys,
I know we're all tired...
And i am aware that we are all sleepy, aching to lie in bed for a really long time.
WE ARE ALL IN THE SAME BOAT.

I doubt that we saw this coming when we decided to take up nursing.
Personally, i hate math.
And one of the minor reasons why i took this up was to rid myself of numbers.
Little did i know that CHN is one of my subjects and that it involves tallying.
My bad. Haha :))

But the fact is, we've already come so far.
Battery exam, freshman year... All done.

I know we can do this.
I know it.

We just have to back each other up.
We need one another...
Even God is with us.
Tingnan niyo, kahit papaano, productive yung wednesday 'til thursday na hindi natin pagtulog. Walang nangyaring masama sa mga umuwi ng gabi/madalign araw.
Pati si Sir Malapit, amazing ang timing. :)
I don't think those are coincidences.

Remember that the so-called "secrets of success" will not work unless we do.

At ano rin ba yung secrets of success na yun?
Si Pam na firm and hard working na Community Leader.
Si Pae na effective and maprinsipyong President.
Ikaw... Na even in your little way, na khit wala kang titulo, ay makakatulong ng malaki.
We, ourselves, are the secret to our success.
So get a move on! Kaya yan! :)

Honestly, I've become attached to this section na.
And as much as I hate CHN, I still thank it for being the challenge that is bonding us more.

Sorry na din if ever may nasigawan ako, at sa mga pagkukulang ako.
I'll do better.

NOT ONE LESS, 220. >:D<
XOXO.


-- TORRES, JLST

mas korni, mas happy. :))

MASTER: KEVIN HERMANO

SCENE 1: Trinoma. Naglalakad kame. Kinikiliti ako ni hermie.
Jov: Walangya! Tama na! Ikaw nga mauna kuya! (I stopped walking.)
Hermano: Ayoko nga!
Jov: Ikaw naaaa. Bilis na.
(Nagpapile up na yung mga tao sa likod namin.)
Hermano: JOV! maglakad ka na kasi! kakasuhan ka na nian ng human trafficking!!!

SCENE 2: Trinoma pa rin. On the way sa sinasakyan ko ng FX. Hinatid ako ni hermie.
Jov: Grabe! ang cool ng GI JOE!
Hermano: Syempre ang cool. Air con sa sinehan ee. Pag walang aircon ang sabihin mo, "ang hot ng GI JOE!"

SCENE 3: Biochem laboratory. Binoballpen ko yung CST ko. Nagpatulong ako sa kanya.
Hermano: Jov, anung english ng apo? Great grandson di ba?
Jov: OO!
Hermano: Ang inet naman nun! GREAT GRAND SUN!
Jov: LOL :))
Hermano: ayy teka. great grandson? parang sobra na yun Jov aa?
(Tsaka lang namen narealize na apo sa tuhod na pala yung sinasabe namen.)

SCENE 4: Biochem lecture room. Nag-uusap kame ni Hermie. Pumasok sa room si Paula. She gave a mocking look kay Hermie.
Hermano: Ang taray mo naman Pau! Buti nga pinapasok ka namen sa room na toh ee. Pasalamat ka hinde ka namen pinapalabas.
Jov: baket?! sayo ba to?
Hermano: sige, sa akin bato. sa kanya scissors. sayo rock.

LMAO. =))
ang korni. pero swear, i laughed so hard sa bawat instance na yan.
Nakakabaliw kasama si Hermie.Haha. Ako kc yung tipo na mas natatawa pag mas korni ee.
Mas korni, mas happy.


Shinare ko lang.
Might give you a good laugh...
Laughter is essential for toxic days such as now. :D

it's our choices that define who we are.

Paano mo ba masasabing MASAYA ka?
Sa baby kasi diba, basta kasama si mommy, kontento na.
Sa isang bata, solved na sila sa simpleng candy.
Ee ikaw? Anung magpapasaya sayo? Anung candy kaya ang trip mo?

May mga nagsasabi na chocolate is the solution to depression, myself included.
I guess scientifically, may point sila. Upper kasi ang chocolate di ba?
But i doubt that chocolate will solve your dilemma. Escape lang yun. Sandaling kasiyahan. When the effects wear off, paano ka na? You can't consume all the choclate in the world. haha.

Sagot ng iba, nais nilang bumalik ang nakaraan.
miss na nila yung times na buo yung pamilya nila. Miss na ang high school. Miss na si ex, miss na si former bestfriend, miss na ang pilipinas, etcetera.
May magsasabi din diyan na good grades ang makapagpapasaya sa kanila.
Gusto nilang mapuri ng magulang.
Gustong makabili ng bagong cell phone, ng kotse, ng kung anu ano.

Oo. Ako din siguro sasaya pag nangyari yung mga yun sa akin.
(Especially yung sa grades! Haha!)

Pero alam niyo ba kung paano talaga sumaya?
Yung walang kaplastikan, hindi joke joke.
Pure BLISS?
Simple.
PILIIN mong sumaya.
Choose to be happy.
Maging kuntento ka sa kung nasaan ka, at kung sino't anu ang meron ka.
Sayang ang bawat segundong dumadaa na nakasimangot ka.

Sige ka...
Papangit ka niyan.

my only trophy is YOU.

recent events made me think how lucky i am.
CHEERS TO THE TWO PEOPLE WHO INSPIRED ME TO WRITE THIS.

my life is pretty ordinary. there are no chart-topping events or award-winning moments. it's weirdly factual, but everything about me seems so monotonous.

so what makes me interesting?
it's YOU.

the person who'd travel through a raging storm because she wants to see me and update me with her life.
the individual who, despite distance, works hard to keep our friendship alive.
the girl i could call the night of her exam day just because i'm upset with my dad or just because i want to gush about a guy.
the person who will love me completely despite all my mistakes and shortcomings.
someone who i can talk nonsense with, show who i really am...
my diary, who knows me more than i know myself.
the bestfriend whom i can utterly trust and who trusts me back.
someone who's more like a sister than just a pal.

you know who you are.
i do not have a gold record or an Oscar to prove my accomplishments in life.
my only trophy is you.
I LOVE YOU.
words will never be enough :)

WANTED: INSPIRATION!!!

i haven't written anything in ages. T_T
nfifeel kong may gusto ako isulat ee... nde ko lang ma-put to words. nde ko maexpress. nde ko ma-i-name kung anu yun. hahahaha :)))

how does one cure writer's block?

HEEEELP!

1, 2, 3, plus. [LOL :))]

[1:50 AM, april 9, 2009.]

you're probably wondering why i'm up so late...?
haha. NAH. you'd most likely be concerned if i wasn't. i know that you know that this is common to me. hahaha :))

i just felt like writing a blog post and update those who want to be updated, on recent events.

well... my grandma, grandma, auntie and two uberly cute cousins are staying with us right now. they visited from the US.
it's been a whirlwind! haha.
i got approximately only 6 hours of sleep in the last 36 hours [trust me, this is a record in my books]. it's a long story, don't ask why.

i hate the fact that i have only 4 days left to enjoy this because of my summer classes.
SIGH :(
it is soooooo unfair!

i'm really not looking forward to it, because i am dead scared.
i only know 1 person in my class... that doesn't help trigger my excitement for being back at school.

i am looking forward to seeing my college friends though... even just a hi or hello across the corridor would be nice.

keep your fingers crossed for me, eh?
pray that everything goes well in my summer class.

anyways,
i want to tell you guys about my new, uum, let's say... inspiration. hahaha :))
CHACE CRAWFORD.
he caugfht my attention because my aunt bought me the season 1 DVD of gossip girl.
i wasn't able to watch it on cable.

those who i send my GMs to [and read them], know him already.
he plays nathaniel archibald in gossip girl.
anyone who disagrees that he is drop dead gorgeous probably fell off the crib&bumped his head on the floor when she was an infant. her taste is wayyy off. hahaha.
he has amazing eyes.
and the eyelashes!!! i love them. i am such a sucker for guys with naturally curled lashes. [shout outs to mikel garchi, achilles arabani, and frietz hinahon. ^_^]

ooooh! and by the way, i think dakota fanning would make a great jane in the twilight saga movies.
i don't like vanessa hudgens being leah clearwater though. i am strongly apposed.
i just don't see her as appropriate for the role of depressed werewolf girl.

last news?
my mom's working visa was recently granted by the US embassy.
translation: my family&i will be leaving the philippines soon, to live abroad.
i am both sad&relieved about this.
PM me if you wanna talk about why, and some other things... :D

my eyelids are becoming heavier by the minute...
going to bed now.
hope insomnia doesn't kick in again.
hope that no ghosts will haunt me too. [stupid stories! hmp.]

gonna be in the province for 3 days or so...

good night y'all.

XOXO.

tagged by yen! ^^,

A. People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blog and replace any question they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves. Tag eight people. Those who are tagged cannot refuse.

B. These eight people must state who they were tagged by. You cannot tag the person who tagged you. Continue this game by sending this to eight other people.



1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?

- i would be really hurt... and really, really, angry. i'd cry... A LOT. then break-up with the guy.



2. What will you do if you do not share the same feelings as the person who likes you?

- admit it to him gently. and i;d most likely stay away from him from that point on... i'd avoid him.



3. What if question number two was the other way around?

- just keep our friendship tight, i guess. i could never tell him how i feel first... i'm too chicken that i'd be rejected.



4. Would you rather be dumped by your bf or see your bf cheating on you?

- is their really no other alternative? hahaha :))
hmm.i think i'd rather have him break-up withe me... i can imagine it harder if i see him cheating with my own eyes. at least, if he broke up with me, he was honest with me.


5. What`s your ideal lover like?

- i know this will sound like i'm such a teenager, but he is my ideal lover. sweet. romantic. faithful. understanding. i guess i like even the handsome part [this is optional, of course. i'm not looking for no God. haha.] -- my own EDWARD CULLEN.



6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?

- being loved by someone :)


7. Who will you choose the person who loves you or the one you truly love.

- before, when i was still uber innocent, i replied the 1st of the two choices.
now though, i don't really know... it depends, i think.




8. If the person you like is already attached, what would you do?

- move on while it isn't too late. i don't want to ruin a relationship.



9. what will you do if you are unhappy?

- call my buds. have a good laugh. some food, maybe. then read a good book while listening to some tunes.
i'd be in happy place after that :)



10. What do you want most in your life?

- i'm not sure yet.


11. Is being tagged fun?

- yeah. haha. this is fascinating. plus the fact that the person who tagged you picked you out of many... it feels nice! :)
[THANK YOU YEN!]



12. If you find out that your best friend is going out with your bf, how would you react?

- i'd prolly be speechless. :P



13. Who is currently the most important person/s to you?

- do i have to pick only one? 'coz i can't. so many of them... where do i start? haha! :P



14. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?

- strong and independent. she is smart... and she is going to be the next bill gates, TRUST ME :)



15. Would you rather be single & rich or married & poor?

- married and poor! :) money can't buy love.



16. If the person you secretly like cannot recognize you, what would you do or how would you react?

- how humiliating...
hmmm, remind him who i am, i guess. haha.



17. Would you give your all in a relationship?

- if it's really the one, i think you should. but when you're my age, i disapprove of all that"giving your all" thing... we're young. and there's still so much of the world left to see. don't assume that whatever you have now is already forever.



18. If you fall in love with two persons simultaneously, who would you pick?

- is that possible?! i don't think it is.



19. If you played a prank on someone, and he or she fell for the trick, what would you do?

- if it's something minor, you know... nothing life threatening or hurtful, then i'd laugh :)) haha.
otherwise, i'd apologize.



20. Which superpower would you like to have: Ability to Fly or Invisibility?

- flying is so much cooler. haha. and besides, it'll save me from the horrors of expensive transportation pay! duh. haha.



21. If you can have ANYONE in the world as a bestfriend and boyfriend who would it be, and why.

- boyfriend? no one in particular. just someone who loves me and who i love back would practically be as great as having edward cullen as a boyfriend :)

- bestfriend? it would be cool to be best friends with paris hilton, or someone like her. haha. but it is wayyy better to have my mom for a bestfriend. she kind'a already is :)) haha.

*** YEN tagged me BTW.
*** and i'm tagging CHA, DAZEL, YNNA, BIANX, DAPHNE, ATE REA, CHERYL, and WEN.

"The most beautiful discovery that true friends can make is that they can grow separately without growing apart." -- elizabeth fowley

so here's the thing, i was feeling sad about something since last night. however, i was able to keep it together.
tonight though, 2 situations totally triggered by lacrimal ducts into action.

situation number 1: aaron PMed me on YM.

aaron lazo (3/19/2002 5:17:50 AM): Hi Torres!
aaron lazo (3/19/2002 5:18:05 AM): currently viewing your FS
Jovlyn Louise Torres (3/19/2002 5:18:13 AM): hi aaron
Jovlyn Louise Torres (3/19/2002 5:18:23 AM): y nmn? hehe. comment! jeje.
aaron lazo (3/19/2002 5:18:31 AM): ok basta ikaw.
aaron lazo (3/19/2002 5:18:37 AM): mamimiss kita torres

situation number 2: i posted a new album, outing@villa alfredo's resort. [pampanga], here on multiply. kelvin commented.

kelvin gerald wrote today at 11:40 AM

katawa mga pics. hehe.
mamimiss q mga dudes na to. haaaay!

at first, i didn't actually get what they're saying....
and then i remembered the grave news that was posted on the bulletin boards of the nursing building last tuesday.

1st of all, that tuesday marked the release of the "report cards" of the students. already a frustrating thought, don't you think?
also, there is a list on the 7th floor bulletin board of the students who are allowed to be promoted to the sophomore year.

*FACT: approximately 1600 students were allowed to take the Nursing Aptitude Test (more popularly known as the battery exam.), be interviewed, and be evaluated [other criterion are the entrance examination score and the general weighted average]...
approximately only 1000 students survived.

lastly, at around 3 PM that very same day, a surprise surfaced...
the sectioning procedure changed. we are no longer arranged by the people we enroll with [which basically is our choice] but parted alphabetically. our sections are, therefore, pre-determined by the administration depending on our surnames.
consider the fact that we have NO emotional preparation for this particualr surprise right here.

i guess, i should be thankful because i passed.
i'm just really depressed that i now have no choice but to be parted from the friends i made in the last 10 months, both because of the cut-off and the sectioning.

sigh...

i will definitely miss j14 and j10... ESPECIALLY MS.

but i guess there's no way around that fact that we're going to fall apart now.

for my peace of heart, i'll keep in mind the words that elizabeth fowley [see above quote] uttered once.
for my peace of mind, i promise to keep the pieces of the hearts of these people in a special place in mine.

if you are one of them, remember to keep up with technology.
there's something called the cellphone and the Internet [friendster, multiply, facebook, tagged, myspace, youtube, imeem , etcetera].
oh. and don't forget something called "meeting up during our free time or eating lunch together."

^_^
iLYah guys.
good luck on whatever decision you make from now on.
see you around!


P.S.

--> send niyo sa akin yung schedules niyo ha? :)

--> pampalubag loob sa ibang mga nadedepress din jan... malakas na ang tendency powers ng leakages. ROFL =))

things to say when you're trying to be rude.

[i found this file in my mom's laptop... dunno where she got it. but it's totally funny. try reading it. i've made my favorites bigger in font size.]

I can see your point, but I still think you're full of it.

I don't know what your problem is, but I bet it's hard to pronounce.

How about never? Is never good for you?

I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.

I'm really easy to get along with once you see it my way.

I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.

It sounds like English but I can't understand a word you're saying.

I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid.

I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.

The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.

Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.

I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.

This isn't an office. This is hell with fluorescent lighting.

I started out with nothing...and I still have most of it left.

If I throw a stick, will you leave?

Errors have been made. Others will be blamed.

Whatever kind of look you were going for, you missed.

Too many freaks, not enough circuses.

Chaos, panic, and disorder - my work here is done!

You don’t like me? Whatever. It’s not as if I like you.

SILENCE.

Not knowing is far worse than knowing something undesirable. It may hurt to know a fact, but one must regard some pains as inevitable. Not all secrets stay unknown forever. Sometimes, the secrets can even be expressed without words, and without the conscious decision of the keeper to divulge it.

Actions, even the act of keeping silent, may speak louder than words.

how lucky did i get?

okay... so most of my exams are done with by now. i only have two left, my NCM and HA comprehnsive exam, which is scheduled to be taken tomorrow.

well, anyway, i had the sudden urge to write a blog post because i wanted to share my hell week experiences. so far.

MONDAY.
REVALIDA.
see, this is like my RLE final return demonstration. it counts for 20% of my final grade in RLE.
it works like this:
on your revalida day, one picks out a piece of paper from a container which will indicate what one will demonstrate to a clinical instructor.
the paper may contain any of the return demonstations one has already performed during the semester.
it's a review, i guess.
it would mean that you have to study all those return demonstrations you've performed before because it is uncertain which one you will draw out from the container.
nuggets?

in my case, the paper would either indicate HANDWASHING, BED BATH. BED MAKING, BED SHAMPOO, or VITAL SIGNS.
guess what the paper i picked out said...
HANDWASHING!
hahaha :))
that's probably the luckiest draw i ever made in my entire life :))
love it! it's the easiest among the 5 procedures.
my luck stretched out to the clinical instructor i was assigned to... i got the nicest of the 4: ma'am llano. woot!

i went to mcdo with mai and jeff afterwards...
we just talked.
it was fun :)

TUESDAY.
i faced an hour and a half of make-up class for the NCM 100 subject.
and then it was quiz day for my RLE subject.
10 items for bed bath, and 10 items for bed making.
it was honestly better than good. sir jannoe didn't give us a hard time.
i think i got most of the questions right. i hope. haha :)

after the quiz, we were dismissed immediately.
everybody went on to working with their TFN projects...
since i was itching to go home pronto (dunno why. i just DO.), i told my group i'd finish it myself at home. haha.
i was aboard the first trip to meycauayan at the FX station.
now there's something you don't get to see everyday (me going home early). LOL :))

of course, i didn't study thoroughly for tomorrow's exams at home.
i finished doing the TFN project at around 10PM, and was waaayyy too tired to go on.
then i catched up on my ZzzzZzZz's.
very studious, huh? :))

WEDNESDAY.
i reviewed my TFN notes and browsed my TFN book (technically, it's dazel's book. i borrowed it from her since she didn't need it this semester.) while making my way to school.
i finished it, surprisingly.
at 9, i took my TFN concept exam & TFN departmental exam all in 1 hour and a half.
it was okay. pretty smooth.
10:30 marked the start of my Anatomy&Physiology departmental exam... an exam that i DID NOT study for (no time left!). i purely relied on stock knowledge (which isn't exactly well-stocked. T_T).
i was hyperventilating before the exam began. dead nervous of the result...
i hope i pass. T_T
i encountered a bit of bad luck then. my bubble sheet was torn at one side.
i approached the prof and asked if it was ok.
she said it probably will be...
i texted her today, inquiring if the scantron machine was able to read my answer sheet. she replied, "ok lang. but i'm not finished with your grades yet."
does that mean the machine was able to read it???

anyways, after that, my class joined another class under sir requidan (philosophy prof) for a review until around 2:30 PM.
and then, i went home!
yeah. i know. miracles happened often nowadays. haha.

THURSDAY.
i woke up at around 4AM to review my NCM handouts...
i guess i got a bit carried away because i didn't notice the time and was eventually LATE for my exam.
good thing my professor was kind enough to move the concept exam on nursing care management 100 (lecture) from 9:30 to 10.
i made it in the nick of time! voila! another stroke of good luck :D
and the help of kelvin, of course. he talked to ma'am for me.

my english exam was kind'a weird... it was already familiar because ALL the questions were similar to the diagnostic test that our professor gave us when the semester started.
i took the test before...
and although i still am not sure of the answers, i believe i did quite well
... thank God for my english professor. i LOOOOVE her... and not just because of the exam thing.
she's just absolutely amazing. very fluent, very competent, very graceful.
i want to be like her someday. :D
maybe even the english professor part. haha.

my health assessment concept exam was next.
it was ok. i think. i'm not exactly sure...

FRIDAY.
i woke up very early because my section was to go to the clinic that day for a physical assessment/ check-up.
it was definitely an experience. haha.
we were examined... NAKED.
yep, you read that right.
they said it was for our swimming class next SY, to check if we had allergies or whatever.

my philosophy exam was conducted afterwards.
i hated the professor that served as our proctor.
she was uber strict and so not nice. hmpf.
the exam was tough. very tough.
we didn't take up most of the questions posed so, well, my guessing skills were actively doing it's thing around that time.
argh. THAT there is the problem with departmental exams.
some lessons are not taken up by some classes because of the professors.

but another miracle occured afterwards:
i studied at home! haha. i studied for my filipino exam until the wee hours of the night because i just needed to feel secure for tomorrow.
see, i didn't get to take a quiz on that subject because i was late. 0%.
my grade in filipino is on the rocks. ampf.
i reviewed for my heart to be at peace, at least.

SATURDAY.
bad luck struck.
remember the fact that i studied last night?
well, guess what, i still didn't find the test tolerable.
my filipino departmental exam, which started at 9:30, was a complete waste of time!
only around 10 of the 50 question on the exam can be found on our book. SWEAR.
i didn't have any idea how i was going to answer the test. "mini-mini-my-ni-mo" was very popular among the students whether they're from my section or not.
trust me, i interviewed them. haha.
so annoying!!!
whay is it that when i review thoroughly for an exam, it still goes downhill???
UNFAIR.
i should've just slept instead of reviewing. grrrr!

so, supposedly, i had another exam for the day, my health assessment departmental exam.
however, i was scheduled at 4:30PM.
so i had a break for almost 6 hours...
and you know what happened?
the clinical instructors cancelled the exams and announced it a 4PM.
HUH! so nice of them... NOT!
it was frustrating to think that you've waited for nothing.
i should've just gone home immediately at 10AM if i knew this was gonna happen... and SLEPT. argh.

jhane, kelvin and i stayed at school until around 6:15PM...
we sat at the pavillion, just talking...
we even witnessed a scene... some girl and a basketball player is fighting apparently.
the girl was apologizing and even asked us, among others, to give the guy a white rose as he passed by.
we didn't get to see what happened though, whether they made up or not.
i wanted to go home na kasi. LOL :))


there.
that's my week.
a whirlwind!

today, a sunday, i checked out my grades OL.
so far, only my PE grade is posted.
1.25
higher than what i exxpected.
thank God!

sigh...
second semester is almost over.
phew!
i am so going to sleep this vacation. haha.
i only have 3 weeks of vacation though.
i have summer classes, being a nursing student and all.


i'll keep you posted.
it should be interesting... LOL.

thanks for reading.
keep your fingers crossed for me, will ya?
i hope i did OK.

*hug*

my march 8, 2009...

big day.
INTERVIEW.
-- i need to pass this to become a sophomore nursing student at FEU :))

i think it went well? LOL :))
my interviewer was totally nice. he was smiling a lot and he was definitely not intimidating.
i felt like i was talking to a friend (except for the fact that i was using english as the medium.)
i got lucky.
he was really cute&charming. haha.

i was challenged a bit when he asked what my writing skills can contribute to my being a nurse...
i honestly wasn't prepared for that question. HAHA.
but i was able to answer. THANK GOD! :P

didn't know his name though. hehe. he's a friend of one of my resident C.I.'s...
hopefully he'll visit sir pope soon :))

his parting words we're:
"ok. thanks. it was nice chatting with you. i had fun. so, jov, just sign here, anmd you may go."
eeeek! super nice.

after my interview,
i went upstairs to my other friends to ask how they were doing...
i played a game with bea, jhane, and raffy while waiting for their turn. LOL.
i had fun!
raffy lost. woot.


ewan ko ba?
nainsipre lang ako magblog ngayon :P

haaaai RLE... nakakawindang! haha.

i got a crush on you... i hope you feel the way that i do. ♥

"You know everything I'm afraid of
You do everything I wish I did
Everybody wants you, everybody loves you
I know I should tell you how I feel
And I wish everyone would disappear
Everytime you call me, I'm too scared to be me
And I'm too shy to say

Chorus:
Ooh, I got a crush on you
I hope you feel the way that I do
I get a rush when I'm with you
Ooh, I've got a crush on you (crush on you)

You know I'm the one you can talk to
And sometimes you tell me things that I don't want to know
I just want to hold you
And you say exactly how you feel about her
And I wonder, could you ever think of me that way

Chorus

Ooh, I wish I could tell somebody
But there's no one to talk to
Nobody knows I've got a crush on you
A crush on you, I got a crush
You say everything that no one says
But I feel everything you're afraid to feel
I will always want you, I will always love you

Ooh, I got a crush on you
I hope you feel the way that I do
I get a rush when I'm with you
Ooh, I've got a crush on you."

---> sang YOU a song. heed!

beware of iDB.

POSSIBLE EFFECTS:

- sleep deprivation (anung bago sa nursing? haha. XD)

- back ache. need a masseuse! T_T

- too much radiation exposure (lague kasing nakaharap at nagtatype sa PC/CP)

- irritability. consequence of lack of sleep yan, i guess.

- insufficient food intake. wala ng time kumaen!

- holes in your pocket. figuratively.

GOD BLESS US ALL. ^_^
