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

thanks for reading!!
