Waah. Im soo addicted to F.R.I.E.N.D.S. I just can't stop watching! My no-paying-attention to the show back then when I was a kid sure was worth it, i.e. because the jokes are much funnier when you're older (oh yes, I'm so past the denial stage. And I must admit: being an adult sure has its perks). And as you might have guessed (or not), I have a huge crush on Matthew Perry (Chandler Bing). Weeee!!!

However, upon my realization of the fact that I would be having less time for F.R.I.E.N.D.S. and more time for SS (that's "Thesis" for my non-PH friends), I guess I would have to say goodbye to daydreaming and sleeping. Waah. Only a sem to go, then Med school here we come!

Bye for now. Gotta check the cockroach I had Mercy collect for our assignment. Nyahaha. I hope its still good for dissection. :S

Chai, I think that for up to a certain point I'd believe in what Herbert Spencer said. If the commutative law applies to it.

The good could universally be the pleasurable, as "the end of good acts is their being conducive to life in oneself and in others. Life, itself, is good or bad according as it does or does not bring a surplus of agreeable feeling."

A bit inappropriate, but I cant think of anything else. Chai kasi.. hehehe, you stirred the pseudo philosopher in me. Anyway, as I pretend to be logical, I believe that goodness brings pleasure. Or pleasure brings goodness. In simple words, I would just like to share that I experienced pleasure from doing something good.

This morning, Ada and I had the chance to join the 2nd UP Manila GK Build in Baseco, Tondo. Upon entering AS gates and reaching the steps at 7:30 am, we saw NOT A SINGLE GK member. Wahaha. All the while we thought that the others have left us for the site. Naah. All of them just came LATE.

We were actually planning not to go, but I guess there was something that stopped us to.

After waiting for about an hour and 30 min, finally we rode the jeep to Baseco. Although we (Ada and I) were only the ones from CPH and the rest were from the College of Medicine (Well, except for Lady), I would say that we didn't feel out-of-place. Med peeps rock! :D

The best part was, aside from painting our assigned house salmon pink, seeing how Baseco people smile even if you ask them trivial things, like anong pangalan ng anak niyo? pano matatanggal ang pintura sa pantalon ko? anong ginagawa niyo? Pity is an inappropriate term, but that's how I'd best describe what I felt as Ada and I were painting the walls with our cute rollers and talking to those people.

It just made me realize how blessed I am to experience this kind of living. Hay..

Fun part: Picture taken by Nikki



At nakanganga pa ako. hahaha Kahit pa umitim ako at mukha na naman akong nanggaling sa Beach, iba ang feeling! :D



The Paint Magnet

Saya!! :D

Wahaw.

School is driving me crazy. Aside from the indescribable Epidemiology exam I took a while ago, I really had one tiring morning (Perhaps due to that I had only about 4 hours of sleep, and I had to read the experimental study transcription in 30 minutes). The weather was scorching hot and I must admit that I am not so confident with our thesis topics. Waah. Add to that the fact that I have an exam on Monday, on which, as usual, I havent read even a single transcription yet.

Well, thanks to ryan and our short walk through robinsons'. At least, for a time I forgot my problems. Hay. The mall is the GC's best friend.

Despite these, I am soo happy to share to you that I have a new baby sister:



Grace Lodrono :D Although I don't like her name that much, I am very sure that when I see her this Sunday, I would hug her and kiss her and hug her again and kiss her. I want to know how it feels to have a baby in the house :D



I wanna go home na!! :D

After realizing that I have been a total idiot for getting angry with my parents for what they did, I was sure that I have changed a lot. Man, how hard as stone have I been.

Realizations:

1. Your parents cannot give you their full trust. They say it, but they'll never do it.
2. You cannot do anything but follow them because they ARE your parents. They would find it hard to understand something you want (or perhaps need) which they view otherwise.
3. Even if you try to talk calm, you would inevitably talk in a high tone because they dont get your point easily.
4. Disappointing them would mean the "end" of your life. (well for me, at least)

Hay, bakit ganun, wala akong balak magsinungaling. Kung pwde lang sabihin ko na kailangan ko rin namang magpahinga sa skwela. Pero baka isipin nilang nagiging masama na ko.

Hindi naman ako ang "perfect student" kagaya ng iniisip nila. Hindi naman talaga ako magaling. Kung tutuusin, napakatamad ko at nagugulat na lang ako sa kung anong nangyayari sa grades ko (pero masaya din ito). Nagpapasalamat lang talaga ako sa Diyos at hindi niya ko pinabayaan. Sa TOTOO LANG, KUNG PWEDE LANG HINDI MAGING ACHIEVER, ginagawa ko na. Siguro magiging mas masaya ako. Ginagawa ko lang naman to dahil sa gusto ko maging masaya sila at mapantayan ko lahat ng ginawa nila para sa akin. PERO NAHIHIRAPAN NA KO. Bakit hindi ako pwede mka tres o singko? Dahil hindi ko sila pwdeng biguin. Dahil gusto kong nakikita sila n khit ppano ay natutuwa para sa kin. DIBA GANITO NMN GUSTO NG KARAMIHAN?

GRRR! I just found out na hindi pala ko inakbayan ni Gab. Dahil ba wala akong Embrace o Influence o Birth? Kala ko may naramdaman ako sa balikat ko. Bag ko lang pala. hahaha Kawawa naman ako. hehe

Anyway,
(1) I really enjoyed that Friday night. Thanks to Rox and her updated gig sched database. haha Sadly, I havent bought Imago's Blush yet. :( I really like Aia! :)

(2) SS Groupings are already out. I was assigned to the Health Policies Administration Department. Waah Problem tree, here we come! Thank God I have the best groupmates (naks)!

(3) I..I.. hate the HPAd exam I took a few hours ago. It was easy, but the problem was that I was so stu*p*d not to review my answers. :( Sayang, possible 1.0 pa naman yata ang HPAd. hehe

(4) I wish I had been much slimmer. My pants are getting tighter each week.

Yun lang.. Excited na ko for SS :)

Because almost all of my classmates' latest blog entries are about their venipuncture attempts, I would also like to share my thoughts on this 'simple' yet life-threatening procedure (haha).

I have had venipuncture attempts on four people only: my sister Jill, my brother Hope, my dad, and my lab partner Marian. I have drawn blood from three of them, but still the procedure makes me cry everytime. In our Micro class this afternoon, I was tasked to draw blood from Rox. Sadly, I was shaking then (for some unknown reason) and refused to perform the procedure. :(

When I saw Cristal's successful draw, I suddenly realized that I must learn how to do it. I HAVE TO.

Thanks to Marian, the lesson has already begun. I have drawn blood from her for the first time! Si Marian un! Waah! Mahirap hanapin ang veins niya :(

Ay bitin :)
