(Insert Whatever Title You Want Here)

Kanina ko pa to sinulat nung nag-aalab ang damdamin ko. Now, I'm so okay. Haha. =p

It's funny how I can still quite hold this pencil I have amidst my shivering hands. Perhaps it;s not really my hand that shakes. It's my soul, I guess.

It's funny how my throat hurts how I keep my tears from falling, and my whimpers from being heard.

It's funny how I use reverse psychology on myself.

It's funny how I fool myself things are okay. When in fact, they are not.

Shit happens.

Catching Up

Too many things have happened. And I just don't know where to start. Ganito na lang. Para di ako masyado mahirapan, I'll just jot down my random thoughts about stuff that bombarded my life recently (and not so recently, for that matter):

*Natapos na ang duty ko (clinicals and community). Grabe. Sobrang ang saya ng feeling. It's like I've been through hell and back. Ang arte ko naman. Second year pa lang ako pero ang kapal na ng apog kong magreklamo. Oh well. That's really what I feel. Ang toxic. Parang teflon.

*Naging vitamins ko ang Norfloxacin. Por Diyos, sana huwag na maulit.

*Kasabay ng mga duty na nabanggit ko kanina ay ang pagsisingit sa aming (my batchmates) tight skeds ng Nursecissism06 practices. I really can't really describe what kind our presentation is. Halo-halo kasi. A concoction of everything. And for that reason, we decided to call it "art". Bongga. =p Pero kamusta naman yun. Mabibilang lang isang kamay yung mga araw na mayroon kaming matinong mga practice. By matino, I mean may nahihita kami. Good luck. Oops. Yung piece na ginamit para sa "art" namin ay pinamagatang Un Sangre (One Blood) ni Ayeen. It depicts the 7 Endless (inspired by Neil Gaiman) which makes all men man. The 7 Endless are Destiny, Dream, Desire, Despair, Delirium, Destruction and Death. Ako nga pala si Death. Rarrr. =p Sabi-sabi, bagay daw talaga ako sa role ko. Kasi it's like I represent famine. Toink. Haha. =p

*Natapos na ang Nursecissism (O, kitam? Dami ko na talagang di nakwento. Poor soul. =c). From others' feedbacks, mukha namang nagustuhan nila yung performance namin. Kung gusto niyo ng pics, puntahan niyo ang multiply account ng pinakagwapong, pinakamachong, pinakamalakas ang appeal at pinakamabait na hearthrob ever to walk this planet. =p We were the third placer pala. Ayon kay Ayeen (Ui, astig yung phrase na yun wah: alliteration.. =p), may rumors daw na nagustuhan ni Prof K yung pinakita namin. Sana. =p Sir, by any chance na napadaan ka dito sa blog ko (how I wish), patotohanan o pasubalian niyo naman ang rumors na yun. Tenkyuuu. =p *In fairness, nagstart and natapos yung Nursecissism ON TIME. Ang galing. =p Overall, it was one helluva talent showcase. Enjoy talaga. At for the first time, 80% ng program ay nakaupo ako nang maayos sa audi chair kaya nakapanood ako nang mahusay. Last Nursecissism kasi (at Tea Parties) na rin, nagpeperform ako para sa mga orgs ko (Saliwan and Maskara) aside from our batch presentation. Ngayon, hindi na dahil nga sa ka-toxican na dinudulot ng acads. Wait, nagperform din pala ako for Maskara somehow dahil ako yung nag-dub kay Corazon sa aming satire na ang titulo ay Tagas. Gaya nga ng sinabi ko sa end part ng play, abangan niyong lahat ang English version nito: The Leakage. Ehem, ehem.

*My Chi was with me during the Nursecissism night. Salamat sa suporta, Chi. nasabi ko na naman sa'yo yun. =* Siya yung nagrecord ng performance namin na unfortunately ay di ko ma-play from his memory card. Pag ni-oopen ko kasi yung mga video files, yung audio lang nagpe-play. Gets? So may audio ng video pero walang actual video. Gets?

*Nabobother ako kung sino ba ang kumanta ng West Side dahil na-aadik ako sa kanya recently. Yun yung may lyrics na:

To my peoples if you with me - where you at
Throw your dubs in the air - and wave 'em like you just don't care
From LA to the Bay - what you say - all day... everyday... any damn day
Take a look around, we got the whole world locked down
Going on and on, it don't stop...won't stop... can't stop
Either ride or die - that's why i put it down for the westside.
Sabi ng iba, di nila alam kung sino ba kumanta nun. Sabi ng iba, mainit daw ang panahon (in short, wala silang pakialam). Sabi ng iba pa rin at ni Chi, LFO daw. Sabi ni Deane, masyado daw siyang maganda para maging kanta ng LFO. Sabi ni Eian, si Ice Cube daw. Ni-try ko siyang hanapin sa net pero to no avail kasi kung anu-anong West Side yung lumalabas. Please naman. Tulong. Ang makakapagsabi sa'kin ng tamang sagot ay bibigyan ko ng itlog (ng Fasciola. Joke. =p). Na-realize kong kanta pala yun para sa niggers nang naghanap ako ng lyrics niya. At dahil kanta pala yun para sa niggers, na-touch naman ako. Aww. Hehe. (Burbank, sobrang naiintindihan niyo ko, malamang.)

*Kaya ko lang naman nabanggit ang Fasciola ay dahil napurga (Oooh. What a very fitting word. =p) na kami sa kakahanap ng itlog sa shit. Last Friday, we had our stool unknown wherein we were tasked to find parasitic eggs in an enriched (?) fecal sample. By 'enriched', ibig sabihin ay dinagdagan na ng aming Parasitology instructors ang fecal sample ng halos lamat ng uri ng parasitic eggs (para for sure ay may mahanap daw kami). The criteria for that unknown was 40% for effort (Whew. Thanks Sir Belizario!) and 60% for 6 eggs found (So by simple math ay dapat narerealize niyo na 10% ang katumbas ng bawat itlog. =p) Makakuha ka lang ng dalawa, pasado na! Haha. =p Luckily, I found 5 eggs. Swerte talaga ang isa sa fave numbers ko: 29. Nasa Station 29 kasi ako. Hehe. Wee. Congrats to me. =p Si Geyl nga na gumamit ng station ko (2nd batch kasi siya. Ako, 1st), nakahanap ng 7 eggs! Further proof lang na swerte ang 29. Hehe. Ang chuva. =p

*Ayun, tapos na rin pala ang Micro unknown namin. That was last Wednesday. Ang gagawin naman namin dun ay i-determine kung ang two slides na pinili namin ay positive or negative for acid-fast bacilli (AFB). Parang 30% yata ng alloted time ay ni-devote ko sa pagfofocus lang dahil faulty ang first two microscopes na nagamit ko. Ang third na microscope ko was actually Ken's. Pinahiram niya sa'kin after he finished using it. Ang galing niya kaya. Siya unang natapos. =p Thank God nakahanap ako ng AFB sa isang slide ko during the last 3 minutes! Wooh. Ayus. =p


*Nag-download pala ako ng bagong theme para sa cellphone ko. Da Vinci yung name. Naalala ko lang tuloy ang isang teacher ko nung ako'y nasa Masci pa. During our lecture once, she thundered, "Stop laughing, Ortega. You can laugh until you die." Haaa? Di ko na-decipher yun kaya kung di niyo rin na-gets, normal lang yun. =p Ang contradicting kaya nung statement niya. She said because she thought that I was laughing (Yeah right, tumatawa talaga ako nung panahong 'yun.) with how she pronounced Da Vinci. She said it kasi as /da-vinzi/. Pero kasi naman. Di talaga yun yung pinagtatawanan ko. Honest. Yung joke ni Meia na katabi ko nun yung pinagtawanan ko kayaaaa. =p

*May scoliosis ako. Waah. Pray for me. Oh well, si Daddy and Mommy ay mayroon din. I've read that it runs in families. =c

Hai. Yan na muna, dears. =p

Postscriptum: Matutunaw mo ang ice sa ice skating rink. Swear. =*
