Tingled my senses

No class today, I was able to watch Hunter X Hunter. AWHAT? They are still showing that old anime! I was still in high school when got hooked. A little trivia, PACU (one of my ten thousand nicks) came from that show. No, it’s not from a fish. This is how PACU (fish) with humanoid teeth looks like, yay! Looks so scary lah~ give justice to our name!

Back to the show, I made something out of the episode today.

Do you agree?

***********************

I finally completed the required OR and DR cases for the board examination. I don’t have make cotton balls anymore, yay! My new dilemma is the signing of my templates. One problem after another, uhg Infinite problem!


P.S. I met people I befriend with when I had my completion. They didn’t recognize me at first because “I look very different wearing scrub suit, a notorious mischievous kid who just hangs around the corner of the street” to add, how about not even minding to take a bath? Now, I would accept the first lines, but not the last line! Haha! That’s just too MEAN! Kidding aside, I’m really happy to meet them once again, they even approached me first! :)

H1N1?

I’ve been eating a lot of unhealthy foods. A LOT! Chocolates, junk foods, too salty and too sweet lead my overly sensitive tonsils react again. (photo by my friend Mitchy Sun)



Last Saturday, I had difficulty of swallowing, checking my dear tonsils in the mirror, dang! Severely swollen and look so red. Actually, I’m quite blessed enough not to see white coats around it, because that would mean there's PUS. Yay! Super gross! I know!

Sunday morning, I felt so exhausted. Checked my temperature. Oh la la! It’s 38C. I slept and chewing acetaminophen whole day. I had difficulty of sleeping and woke up early morning around 2am. I felt so hot, checked my temperature again. I AM LITERALLY HOT! It was 38.9C! my lips were so dry and I can feel my breath more effective than a heater. My Uni had 11-7 shift, so I'm home alone. I’m really thankful my Mum insisted to stay in our house to take care of me. (we live in a different house but in the same compound though).

Monday morning, we went to hospital for EENT check up. I would recommend you guys to go to physician’s clinic and not just in the Emergency Room because doctor’s who attend in ER are residents, not to belittle their ability but it is always better to consult an EXPERT.

So there I was, sitting at the doctor’s weird clinic. It was like I’m Hogwarts’ astronomy classroom. Yeap! I can see stars all over his clinic.To my surprise, the diagnosis was not just tonsillitis but PHARYNGITIS! Part of my throat behind the soft palate is inflamed. Antibiotics were prescribed for a week. (Expensive, yay!)

The next day, Tuesday, although I still have fever I forced my self to go to class. One, because staying at home makes me feel more ill. Second, we had a very good lecturer in Psychiatric Nursing. It’ll be a big lost on my part to miss his class. Surprised once again, it wasn’t only me who skipped class on Monday in fact, healthy I am. I was able to skip only a day. MORE THAN ¾ in the class were not feeling well. Most of the symptoms that my classmates experienced were fever, cough and colds. H1N1? Okay, here’s the theory. Someone from the class was infected by the virus yet did not consult a physician. Anyway, gradually we are getting better. ALL is WELL that ENDS WELL. Ayt! : )

Here’s a photo of healthy me! (using my friend's handy) The aftermath of my story is that I religiously take my Vitamins. I also do a little stretching and flexing those muscles every morning.



Yep, I was in the elevator in that photo using my friend’s handy. Would you believe I was trapped in the elevator TWICE this morning! How untimely, we had an exam and yes! I was late!


P.S. Finally, I was able to distinguish what’s my target grade for every exam. And for 2 consecutive examinations, I failed to meet my goal! Darn, it is only now that I realize the importance of 4 points! *disappointed*

man in the mirror

I have come to a conclusion that man in the mirror is my all time favorite song.
I just find it weird because I always post the lyrics of the song as my status in Facebook way before Micheal Jackson died. @.@

I badly want to post the video sarah and otep made (with my photos in it) about poverty but dang! multiply won't allow me : l anyway, you can view the video by visiting Sarah Baldonado's multiply site.

Photo taken along the busy street near San Pedro Cathedral. Most street kids that I see have furious eyes but this trio is different.





I'm Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right . . .

As I, Turn Up The Collar On My
Favourite Winter Coat
This Wind Is Blowin' My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street,
With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See
Their Needs
A Summer's Disregard,
A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man's Soul
They Follow Each Other On
The Wind Ya' Know
'Cause They Got Nowhere
To Go
That's Why I Want You To
Know

I'm Starting With The Man In The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World A Better Place
Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change

I've Been A Victim Of A Selfish
Kind Of Love
It's Time That I Realize
That There Are Some With No
Home, Not A Nickel To Loan
Could It Be Really Me,
Pretending That They're Not
Alone?

A Willow Deeply Scarred,
Somebody's Broken Heart
And A Washed-Out Dream
They Follow The Pattern Of
The Wind, Ya' See
Cause They Got No Place
To Be
That's Why I'm Starting With
Me


..........................................................................................................................
I confess that I haven't tried studying for review class' exam. No, not once! But still i pass. Now, I'm bothered. Will luck still be on my side during the actual board? So, it's too late for me to study for tomorrow's exam, it's late and my eyes are shunting by themselves. Henceforth, studying starts on Monday. Whether I'm depress with my cases or not. I must start studying na!

AMBIVALENT

There are a lot of things i want to say, but the end point is that I loose the energy to write. Few things i remember though...
I found my old jot down notebook yesterday and found something I wrote 3 years ago.

It's tiring to plan,
It's frightening to act,
But if you want to get a life,
STAND UP!

guess the 3 years ago Yuli is poking me lah~

It is getting down and dirty in our review class and just to understand why our reviewer is speaking Greek, I promise to lessen the number of hours I spend with Facebook applications. I think I'm close to dying if that's the case. @_@ Idiot, I know! For goodness sake why do these games have opioid ingredients? Soooo Addictive!!!

I was hooked to Street Racing, Yoville, Vampire Wars, Mafia Wars, Fashion Wars and all the wars. (yeah, corny!) Holla back Ladies and Gents, here are the games that really made me an addict.

1...2...3...ahhhhh! how cute! probably that's your first reaction when you created your pet and saw it for the first time playing her skipping rope or ball. What makes this addictive? I don't know exactly either. Maybe because we can visit our friends house and drop some love or maybe because it's waste/stool/sh*t can turn into golden coins! How can that possibly happen? The man behind pet society is better than Einstein. Out of this world! :X




Another playfish application, Restaurant City People! My friends kept on talking about this game and felt like i'm the only one left not playing. So I tried and before i knew it..wooow, i'm addicted. This game is so fun because you can hire your friends as the chef, waiter or if your sarcastic...the cleaner of you restaurant. Must mention, you can name your our Restau! Mine's The Talon and yeap, it's taken from Smallville lah~.




And tan ta da dannnnn.... lastly which i'm currently so into. FARMTOWN baby. This game teaches you to be patient because you have to wait for 2-4 days (depends on the seed used) for your plants to grow. NoPe, you can't buy fertilizers in the market so there's no fast forward. My ultimate dream is to buy a mansion, but my schedule is getting harsh up until the end of this year so I've gotta shake it of be contented with white farm house. It looks like in smallville anyways, so no problemo amigos.



In relation to farming...here's a very interesting photo my Uni took. It says "pepper or chili". Hmm.. my Uni has pretty good taste.



To enhance my lame attempt to stop FB application addiction. I'm trying to persuade myself to agree with Julian Smith. Ever heard of "25 things I hate about Facebook."? or how 'bout happyslip's "Facebook Fever!"?




So what's your favorite FB application or your already sick and tired and wanna holler BOOOO FaceBook? Drop some love lah~ *^^*

Hindi na bata,Hindi pa matanda,Heto,nasa gitna

Pasintabi sa mga Asyanong hindi nakakaintindi ng tagalog. HIndi man ako marunong umintindi ng salitang instik at malaysian, kayang kaya ko naman ang Ingels, Tagalog, Visayan at GAY language. Kaya, TABLA muna tayo ngayon mga kaibigan! Ang inyong mababasa ay batay sa mga kuro kuro nina Pacu at pilosopong Tasyo. Kung hindi ka sumasang-ayon sa iyong mababasa, aba'y sa korte ka maghabla at kapag na patunayan na ako ang hangal...binibigyan kita ng karapatang batukan ako at nang matauhan. *^^*

Mag 20 taong gulang na ako ngayon taon. Noong nasa elementaya pa ako, ang buong akala ko ay ang mga taong nasa edad na 20 pataas ay mga kapitapitagan na, yung tipong nakakaunawa na sa bagay bagay at magaling magadala ng buhay. Napagtanto ko na labis ang aking paghanga sa mga nakakatanda noon. Marmi akong akala na kaya nilang gawin, subalit. . ..

Ambisyoso kaming nasa gitna, dala dala pa kasi nami ang mga pangarap na aming binuo noong musmos pa lamang kami. Yoon kasi ang sa tingin namin ang magbibigay ng tunay na kaligayahan kapag natupad. Subalit, sa mga panahong ganito din kung saan dumarating na sa aming kamalayan na harapin ang totoong mundo. Dati rati ay naiinis ako sa patalastas sa telebisyon, “welcome to the real world graduates”. Ano daw? Ano nga ba ang pinagsasabi ng gumawa ng patalastas na iyon eh iisa lamang naman ang mundong ginagalawan natin. Ngayon, dahan dahan kong naiintindihan...Yung totoong mundo pala na tinutukoy ay hindi yung tulad ng kay Cinderella na kapag naisuot na nya ang mahiwag sapatos ay magiging happily ever after na, hindi rin yung mundo na nakasanayan ko bilang istudyante na kapag natapos na ang case defense at final exams ay pwede mo nang punit punit ang photocopies at gawing confetti. Sa totoong mundo kasi’y maraming kontrabida, kung minsan nga pati ang mga tao na malapit sa puso mo. Iba na ang buhay namin ngayon, kung noon ay nangangarap kami para sa sarili namin, ngayon, sa gusto o hindi, kasama ang maraming tao sa mga desisyon na gagawin. Hindi man nakasulat sa kung saang subpoena na may responsibilidad ang anak sa pamilya, default na iyan kumbaga automatic na na naatasan kami ng dakilang lumikha na paligayahin ang mga taong humubog sa amin. Hindi bilang ganti at utang na loob kundi nabuhay kaming kakambal ang misyong iyan.

Kaya naman, sa panahong ito, hinaharap naming ang problema na kung saan kami patutungo. Kung ano ang gusto naming maging o kung ano ang dapat naming maging. Katulad ng problema ni Clark Kent bago sya naging Superman. Masakit sa ulong humanap ng paraan kung paano maglalakbay sa dalawang daan sa iisang pagkakataon o kung sa bandang dulo ba ay mag-aabot din ang mga daan. Hindi naman kasi simple ang mga bagay bagay ngayon. Maraming tao kaming nakakasalamuha na kailangan makitungo. Tulad ng mga taong nakakataas sa amin na kung minsan ay sa halip na tulungan kaming matuto ay pinapakalandakan pang magaling sila at tinatapak tapakan ang aming bilib sa sarili. Sabagay, may mas alam nga naman sila at kaya nilang gawin kaming katawa tawa. Naisip ko, na kapag ako’y tumanda at lumagay sa posisyon na kung saan sila ngayon, ay hindi ako tutulad sa kanila. Ngunit hindi ako nakaksigurado kung matutupad ko ang pangakong iyan. Nakakawili din naman kasi kung ikaw ang tinitingala, inaalala ko nalang ang tao na dati’y malapit sa akin. Wika pa niya, “…because I have the power” kasabay ang malakas na tawa. Ayokong maging katulad niya na parang halimaw na natutuwa sa konting kapangyarihan na taglay.

Kung hindi ka sumasang-ayon sa iyong mababasa, aba'y sa korte ka maghabla at kapag na patunayan na ako ang hangal...binibigyan kita ng karapatang batukan ako at nang matauhan.

Nabitin ka ba? hanggang sa susunod! ADIOS! *^^*
