conversations
this thing called cellphone drew people into texting because its cheaper than calling or meeting up with someone you wanted to greet, catch up with, or have a heart to heart talk with not minding what was lost there. texting makes room for misinterpretation coz it just couldn't convey emotions. maybe that's why they have created those smileys/ emoticons but they're just not enough, are they? almost forgot i have the wonder sun cell wherein calls were free. yeah. so i guess it's my fault for not calling. coz i was misinterpreted. ok. lesson learned.
i just realized that we are slaves of emotion. but not all the time it will succeed as a weapon for manipulating people. i'm hating all these drama. it seems it had created a cloud of hallucination hovering people making everyone react to everything rather than thinking first before reacting. and i hate becoming a part of this. well it's a choice i made and i'm hating my decision now. but how do you cut your ties and just walk away or choose to be indifferent, perhaps? i don't know. maybe it's time to breathe fresh air. that's what everybody needs now and that's exactly what i will do.

here's another one:
I Believe...
That just because two people argue,
It doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue,
It doesn't mean they do love each other.
I Believe...
That we don't have to change friends if
We understand that friends change.
I Believe....
That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I Believe...
That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.
I Believe....
That you can do something in an instant
That will give you heartache for life..
I Believe...
That it's taking me a long time
To become the person I want to be.
I Believe...
That you should always leave loved ones with
Loving words. It may be the last time you see them..
I Believe...
That you can keep going long after you think you can't.
I Believe...
That we are responsible for what
We do, no matter how we feel.
I Believe....
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I Believe...
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
I Believe...
That money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I Believe...
That my best friend and I, can do anything, or nothing and have the best time.
I Believe...
That sometimes the people you expect to kick you When you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up..
I Believe...
That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry,
But that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
I Believe...
That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had
And what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
I Believe...
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I Believe...
That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I Believe...
That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are,
But, we are responsible for who we become.
I Believe...
That you shouldn't be so eager to find
Out a secret. It could change your life Forever.
I Believe...
Two people can look at the exact same
Thing and see something totally different.
I Believe...
That your life can be changed in a matter of
Hours by people who don't even know you.
I Believe....
That even when you think you have no more to give, when
A friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.
I Believe...
That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
I Believe...
That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.
I Believe...
That you should send this to all of the people that you believe in, I just did.

They just make the most of everything.

isang maligayang pasko
na naman ang nagdaan sa buhay ko. simula nung naranasan kong hindi magpasko sa bahay dahil napakaswerte ko na laging duty tuwing pasko at new year, hindi na ko naghahanap pa ng kung ano anong eche bureche. masaya na ako sa simpleng reason na nasa bahay ako kasama ng pamilya ko. wala man boyfriend, mamahaling regalo o kung ano pa man, okay lang.
hinahanap ko dito ang post ko tungkol sa pinakamalungkot na pasko ko. pero hindi ko yun mahanap. ikukwento ko nalang ulit. nung nasa clerkship pa ako, duty ako ng christmas and new year's eve sa pinakamalungkot na bahagi ng hospital, ang CCU- ICU. napakatahimik. kasama ko ang mga pasyenteng half- conscious. hindi nga ata sila aware na pasko na. wala kami nun ma- orderan kase wala nang bukas na fast food chain. buti nalang madaming pinabaon si mami kaya nakakain kaming lahat. habang ang buong hospital ay nag- iingay, nagsasaya, nagbabatian ng merry chistmas, kaming tatlo nila angel at abary ay nagmomonitor ng walang humpay na q15. yun ang unang pagkakataon na hindi ko na napigilang umiyak. hindi ako talaga iyakin pero sa pagkakataon na yon naiyak ako dahil naramdaman ko talaga ang lungkot. kaya ganito nalang ang pagkasaya ko na makasama ang pamilya ko sa araw ng pasko. isa pa, naiisip ko ang daddy ko. tuwing sasapit ang ganitong okasyon, nagpapasalamat ako sa Diyos na nakasama ko pa sya sa araw na yun. happy na ko na alam kong anjan sya kahit pa tulog na sya pagsapit ng 12am. hehe. sana lagi pa rin syang anjan para sa amin.
merry christmas sa inyong lahat! sana nakasama nyo lahat ng mga mahal nyo sa buhay.
sa ibang bagay, matatapos na ang bathroom ni mami. hindi na ko nagpilit pa na- idagdag ang mga iron pieces para sa mediterranean look. pero sinunod pa din naman ang outdoor feel. wish ko matapos na sya before mag new year. ang alikabok kase dito sa bahay.

hang on till tomorrow
ganda ng boses ng batang ito. mala- anghel ang dating.
this is my favorite song right now. so full of hope for the future.
our bathroom in the first floor is currently under renovation. mom and i went to ace hardware earlier to window shop tiles and ceramics. i think mom wants to have an outdoor feel for the new bathroom. gusto nya yung parang bato- bato effect na tiles for the floor. naaliw naman ako sa gusto ni mother. hehe. excited na ko na makita ang outcome. sana maganda. crossing my fingers.

fairy tale come true
i was in taal vista yesterday for my bff's wedding. another bridesmaid role for me there. a few days back i told my sister that it was edward teng who made the gowns of the entourage. this declaration was followed by a question which astonished my sister, who is edward teng? turned out he is one of my sister's favorite designers. sorry di ako sosyal kaya di ko sya kilala. after searching him on the internet, i learned that wedding is his forte. now im glad to have worn one of his creations. click here to view his website.
i love the bead work of my gown. more wedding photos in my flickr.
it was nice going back to tagaytay. it's one place i never get tired of going back to. i considered it as my second home ever since i have stayed there for sometime. having a feel of the cold breeze there especially during this season is something i really enjoyed. it was the first time that i have worn sleeveless there. i stayed outdoors for two hours because the wedding took place in the garden of taal vista overlooking the lake and i really felt that i was inappropriately dressed for the weather. the wind was so cold that i can feel it seeping through my skin down to my bones as if consuming every part of my body and then left me standing there frozen and bare naked. but id rather have that than the scorching heat of summer.
i realized i am giving away two of my bffs this year and within the same month. and how do i feel about that? mixed emotions. it's every girls dream to walk down the aisle. wedding is like a fairy tale come true and so i am happy for them and i am thankful to be a part of their unforgettable moment as they finally get their happy endings and start new beginnings as a wife and (soon-to-be) mother. i am also a little sad that we cannot hang out with each other as much as we wanted to. gone were the days that we can have sleep overs and night outs. their priorities are different now and they have more responsibilities than before. we are really getting old. hay. the realities of life.

funny it seems
how i am able to contain it. how was it possible that a girl like me get through every day when she used to need a distant friend to pour her heart out when situations like this arise? is it wisdom i get in getting old that makes me this strong? is it faith in the almighty that makes me trust the unknown? or is it the hard times that's keeping me preoccupied? whatever it is, what matters is that it is serving it's purpose well. more importantly, there are values re- learned and strengthened. patience is not an easy friend and i am amazed how we get along now.

today's great finds
i just got home from shoe mart. ever since i became an editor, i made it a point to go to the mall early so i can get back by noon for my work. today, i went there to buy blank cds for some of the wedding songs that my bff will use on tuesday (naku lapit na!!!). i also decided to drop by starbuko to buy that frap i've been craving for since yesterday. i was surprised when the cashier gave me a bag of coffee for free. swerte ko naman. i was planning to give it away since i only drink coffee on occasion due to my hyperacidity but dad was attracted to it's rich aroma and wanted to try it so i am obliged to buy him filter paper for his coffee maker hehe.
i also went to national bookstore to buy some sticker paper for the cds' label and bought a copy of this month's issue of reader's digest too. since it's christmas month, i also get to have a free back issue. woohoo! i love freebies and i love reader's digest.
also, i saw pilot selling magic ballpens and magic highlighters. wonder what is magical about them? well, coz the ink is erasable. both have a silver gray tip which serves as an eraser. i guess i have to buy lord zagato a black erasable pen. it's very handy in the exam coz some of the forms they have to fill up on the first day are a bit eye challenging and they only allow examiners to use ink on those. so to my dear lord zagato, in case you read this, you don't have to look for the pen coz im going to buy you one, okay?

ouch!
We all have the ability…we just don't all have the courage to follow our dreams and to follow the signs
this was what paolo coelho told me today in FB. kinabog ako dun. yup, i admit that i am a chicken now. the fearless and taray queen before eh dinadaga na din ngayon.
nalilito kase ako sa mga signs... or possible na hindi lang ako masyadong nagppay attention.
so i made up my mind. im willing to retrace my path in order to see those signs again... and this time ill look at them closer.

between the headlines
- on manny and krista issue. these were the golden rules of men that i heard from sir willy and sir derrick when we visited calatagan.
- the eleventh commandment: wag kang magpapahuli
- and the twelveth: pag nahuli ka, wag kang aamin.
- on maguindanao massacre
- hindi ko talaga mawari ang nasa utak ng taong may kagagawan nun. akalain mo, hindi lang nya inutos ang pagpapapatay. nandun mismo sya nung nangyari yun. nandun sya na sumalubong at nagpahinto sa unang sasakyan. andun sya na may hawak din na baril. madaling mag- utos. madaling magpakawala ng mga salita. madali ding magtago at bawiin ang mga yun pag tinutugis ka na. pero paano mo magagawa yun kung ikaw mismo ang nakita kasama ng mga armadong militar na bumaril sa mga sibilyan? ang lakas ng loob nya na ituro pa sa iba ang krimen na kanyang nagawa gayong mga witness na mismo ang nagpatotoo na nandun sya.
- ang pinaka kinasasama ng loob ko sa pangyayaring yun, ay ang pagsunod ng mga militar sa politiko na yun. di ba nila alam ang tungkulin nila? di ba nila alam na sibilyan ang dapat nilang protektahan? sana hindi sila nagpagamit. sana din, katulad ng amo nila, maparusahan din lahat ng may kagagawan sa pagpaslang, militar man o private security group ng taong yun. lahat sila dapat magdusa.
- at ang kapal naman nya na mag request ng hospital-arrest. wala kang sakit sa katawan. sa utak meron. mabulok ka jan sa kulungan. che!

separated at birth?
New Moon star Taylor Lautner (L) and Phil Younghusband (R), an English- Filipino professional football player.
>>
found it!
discovery for the week
1. i am having insomnia recently. this is so not good coz it's killing my schedule. i dont get enough time in the morning to jog and read coz i am sleeping when i am supposed to be awake. And CONCENTRATING to sleep is freaking me out.
2. confirmed! Oprah's ending her show on it's 25th year (which will be next year). awww... hope she comes up with another one.
3. weddings weddings and many more weddings on the run. it was the goddess's civil wedding yesterday. i just learned the church wedding's gonna follow next month. there's another wedding set for early december which i have to attend to. too many weddings. can't take this anymore. need lots of moolah lest my christmas gift's gonna suffer. anyone need's a reliever?
4. this really shocked me. i just saw photos of an animal in a zoo and i really had a hard time figuring out what kind of animal it is. i was a biologist and sure saw lots of animals (from books and for real) but i can't seem to distinguish the poor thing. kaya naman pala, there's something lacking.
did you guess what it is? it is a photo of a balding bear taken from a zoo in Leipzig (san ba yun?). surprisingly, the females were the only ones getting bald. vets are still baffled by the mysterious condition inflicting those cute and (supposedly) hairy creatures. what really concerns me though is that they should be growing thicker fur by now to protect them from the cold winter. i hope the vets get a heater at least so as not to let those poor animals perish.

oil going gone?
another bad news. news said we will ran out of oil supplies after two weeks. the oil companies are blaming the EO released by the president to regulate the prices of basic commodities after the big flood struck manila in september. i do get the intention of the president but oil prices has gone up in the world market and the oil companies cannot anymore sustain the inflation and so this resulted. its really not good news that this is happening when it is only 44 days left before christmas. i do pray we can get pass this. i do pray that the people will not panic and start hoarding gas because this will only aggravate the situation. i do hope that the government will come up with a better solution to this problem. and i do hope we all get a happy christmas after all.

i hate you, hackers!!!
bad news. my FB account has been hacked. kamusta naman yun. my contacts were receiving wall posts from "me" with a link on an unknown twitter account. heck. i don't even twitter. so what do i do now?
first, i tried to contact FB to settle this issue. i have to commend FB for being so organized. they have ready answers for different case scenarios. all you have to do is to click buttons to get to what you are looking for. the first instruction required me to change my password which i did. and then i have to run an anti-virus- now that is a problem. i do not have an anti-virus in my laptop. do mac already get virused these days? hope not. hay. i just downloaded security update. hope that helps.
so to all my friends who get those crap messages in FB from "me", please ignore them. i really hope that this issue will be resolved in no time.

my early christmas wishlist
malapit na ang pasko! at dahil jan, naisipan ko na maglagay na ng wishlist ko. puro material things lang ang nasa listahan na ito kase gusto ko sana yung mailalagay ko sa ilalim ng christmas tree. syempre wish ko din na magkaroon world peace at sana magkaroon ng masayang pasko ang mga nasalanta ng nagdaang mga bagyo.
sa post na ito, hayaan nyo na muna ang batang paslit na katulad ko na humiling kay santa. dahil kahit ano pa man, naniniwala pa din ako na may santa claus na makakabasa nito:
my wishlist this christmas:
1. panasonic lumix DMC-lx3
- this one should not be on the list because im going to have it soon. yehey!!! it will be considered as an early christmas present.
2. hello kitty cell phone
- oh i want it ruhley bahhd. i saw this from one of my favorite blogs and i admit i stared at it for 5 whole minutes. i love pink. i love hello kitty. and i like this new phone.
3. mac time capsule or an external hard disk drive with 1-2 terrabyte capacity
- this will really really help a lot especially for my memory space needs
4. nikon d90
- ohhhkkkkaaaay, i must admit i am slowly becoming a convert. i think im beginning to like those long nosed dSLR cameras. so for the love of the art, i want this one!
5. a headband from classic sparkles
- classic sparkles creates beautiful accessories and hair pieces made from semi precious stones. their designs are all in free hand so no item sold are identically the same.
6. sun jar from quirks novelties and curiosities in rockwell
- i bet none of my closest friends know this, i don't sleep alone in my room at night without a light on. there's always a lamp or a night light beside my bed. it will be very economical and earth friendly for me to use one of these since my lamp is turned on for 8 to 9 hours depending on the length of my sleep. imagine the energy and money i will be able to conserve for let's say a month of using this! and i learned it also comes in different colors. yay! you don't have to guess what color i wanted hehe.
the light in the sun jar lasts for about five hours.
Santa, sana po matupad ang mga wish ko ngayong pasko.
thanks, bro!

Amihan
im a self confessed lover of windy days. hanging Amihan is here already and i love the feel of it's cool breeze on my skin. it's days like this that makes me want to go out for a long walk even in midday. it also reminds me of tagaytay and christmas.
more on hanging amihan, according to wikipedia,
Amihan refers to the season dominated by the trade winds, which are experienced in the Philippines as a cool northeast wind. It is characterized by moderate temperatures, little or no rainfall, and a prevailing wind from the east.
Amihan is a bird in the Philippine mythology. According to the Tagalog folklore, Amihan is the first creature to inhabit the universe, along with the gods called Bathala and Aman Sinaya. In the legend, Amihan is described as a bird who saves the first human beings, Malakas and Maganda from a bamboo plant. ------>>;">aha! sya pala yun.

ginto
my sis and i went to the mall this morning to buy my uber cute pamangkin a new pair of shoes. i was really surprised when i look at the tags. had prices really gone that high? we are buying shoes for a two year- old kid and we didn't find anything lower than 500Php. kamusta naman yun.
i can still remember when we were kids, mom used to buy us Mighty Kid rubber shoes that were sold in stalls along the high way near the market. i bet those shoes didn't even reach 200Php back then. wala pa nga atang 100Php un. may mighty kid pa ba ngayon? wala na ata.
and so my sis was forced to buy a pair of rubber shoes (dora the explorer pa ata yun. pero hindi si dora ang nasa rubbershoes huh. otherwise mukhang pang girl di ba?). we got it for 650+Php. so mahal for a kiddo who's feet keeps on expanding. sayang ang pera. but seeing my pamangkin's eyes get bigger as he opened the box and hearing him exclaimed "WOW" ... priceless.

do you know how it feels?
it feels like my heart just somersaulted. and the reason for that? i do not know... but like the old times, it seems, someone close to me feels the same. it's more like i feel that person... i can feel what he/she is going through. and this is true 99 percent of the time.
so how do you feel?

first bloom
my orchid had its first bloom today! ever since i got the plant, it never get to have flowers not until now. hmmm. another milestone.
this orchid also has a sentimental value. an old love (old=past=nonexistent already) gave it to me as a gift. if my memory serves me right, this has been in my garden for three years now. that's how long i have waited to see the beauty of its flowers. nice!

the wanderlust princess left a set of footprints in Calatagan
this is not good. i have fever today and a terrible headache. plus my chest hurts too.
i've been to calatagan last weekend. it was a blast! i have met some of the rich and famous people in their own respective fields and i was floored having a glimpse of their simplicity. truly, calatagan is the "hamptons" of the philippines coz a lot of the upscale and famous people owns a property there.
the best thing about the trip is that i was able to see the "hidden treasures" of calatagan such as the Faro de Punta Santiago lighthouse which is currently not open to the public due to some legal issues concerning its ownership (a bad, influential yet famous person put it in his name and tried to put up a resort there. grrrrrr. that really made me so mad. what a total a*hole!) and there's no road that leads to it since the neighboring lands are all privately owned. this is really sad because the lighthouse is the oldest structure in calatagan. i am truly blessed to have known kuya derrick who starting an advocacy to restore the heritage sites in calatagan incuding the lighthouse. i instantly became a member of the organization.
i was just sad that i was not able to take any pictures because i failed to bring the memory card of my camera. arrrggghhh! i am also forced to buy lumix soon so i can bring it on our next calatagan adventure and other series of trips for the advocacy.
anyways, these are some of the pictures taken by oompa woompa girl (OWG).
with neil. sunset was stunning! this was taken on top of the lighthouse.

quote for the day
this is the best quote i read today in fb. i got this from kat's post:
>>
when there's something you really want, fight for it, don't give up no matter how hopeless it seems. And when you've lost hope, ask yourself if 10 years from now, you're gonna wish you gave it just one more shot

eyes so tired
my new raket requires me to stare at the computer for long hours as a result, my eyes get really tired afterwards. just want to cover them up for a moment from time to time , to sort of give them a break. i started working as an editor of a medical transcription firm since monday and i guess i've been doing pretty well adjusting.
last monday, i met up with my BFF ate mads who handed me the pictures that i am supposed to include in the video for their wedding. which reminds me that i should have downloaded the final cut pro at this time and studied it. well, i have done the downloading part just now. been really busy with other stuffs lately, like putting up a website for my new online store (got my first stock of bags from abbie) , upload some pics to ebay, etcetera. i just purchased 6 bags and i was so happy to sell all of them in three days. yay! at may humabol pa! i was intending to keep the 6th bag for my own but then an ebayer won my auction just after it ended (i did have a buyer in ebay before him) i decided to just sell the last piece and get another one from abbie. hehe. extra money is always welcome. which reminds me, i have to ship it by tomorrow already! so busy schedule. but loving it. i think i like having this everyday schedule than going on duty once a week which really gives me a separation anxiety.
on the other side, another BFF is asking me for schedule availability for a church hunting for her wedding. hay. so many weddings to be done! hehe. kelan kaya ako magiging abala for my own wedding? echos!
lastly, my mom is already making kulit about my application for residency. she wanted me to go with her in her meetings with our congressman (who is her kinakapatid) whom she learned is very close to the medical director of the hospital that i have recently applied to. well, i feel reluctant about it because i haven't read the book yet, and i don't think i wanted to enter unprepared.
it's 2 more days before i go to calatagan. can't wait to be a beach bum once more.

confession of a shoesaholic
what does a princess do when she wanted to make an ordinary day less ordinary or wanted to feel comforted after a long and tiring day is over? hmmm i will tell you my secret. i get my favorite shoes from my cabinet or the latest pair of footwear that i have purchased, slip it on my feet and suddenly everything becomes beautiful again (ala confessions of a shopaholic. hehe). magic!
just wanted to celebrate my latest purchase and my first ever super flats sandals which the sole i think is only half an inch high (never liked flats before. i just buy some for duties). i recently bought a Charcoal Leather leisure flatties which is made in Argentina. according to the label, the sandals is named Fertini Negro. i plan to use it in my calatagan getaway this weekend. nice!

huh!? ano daw??? anlabo!
ayokong magsulat. hindi ko din naman alam kung ano ang sasabihin ko. hindi ko din alam kung ano talaga ang nararamdaman ko. isa lamang akong batang paslit na naglalakad sa kawalan. at malamang ay naliligaw na rin ng landas...
walang salita na kayang bigkasin ang mga bagay na nararamdaman ko ngayon. siguro dahil pabago- bago sila. katulad ng magulo kong isip. magulo. walang ayos. wala din sigurong patutunguhan.
hindi ko alam kung bakit sinusulat ko ito. siguro sa isang banda, gusto kong isipin na may isang taong nakikinig. isang taong maaring nadarama din kung ano ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. isang taong magsasabi, "keri lang yan." kahit alam kong hindi.
pustahan tayo hindi mo ako naiintindihan. pero huwag kang mag- alala. maiintindihan ko kung bakit. ang mahalaga nakinig ka.

reconnected
hay salamat. after more than a week of suffering no internet connection, they have finally fixed the problem. the typhoon ondoy made really a big mess and a lot of people got affected. im just thankful that i only get to suffer this much. to my friends who got affected by the flood, i will continue to pray for you. bangon, Pilipinas!
last sunday, i went to the bar offs to cheer kuya jerwin (my BFF's fiance). after, we headed to their couturier to have my measurements. they are having their wedding this december! yay! i was surprised when ate madel told me i have to make them a presentation for their wedding. as in ako??? nagbibiro ka ba 'te? haha. after coughing out, i realized the two were both serious in giving me that assignment so i dont really have much of a choice. hehe. i can only promise to do my very best to make it presentable.
i also get to visit amici in tomas morato when they decided to hang out in a coffee bean and tea leaf which is on the same building. what really made my day was learning cara mia is already in amici! love it!
gourmet gelato by cara mia. tempting.

coffee break
im in love with nescafe's hazelnut coffee with ice. mmm... and i love drinking it in my tall frosted glass with a large pink P. hehe.
my friends know that i seldom drink hot coffee coz anything "hot" makes me feel sleepy hehe.
i took this photo while talking on the fone. hehe

comfort zone
ewan ko ba kung ano nangyayari sa kin. there's something in my gut wanting to be heard. siguro rin i kept on fighting the urge to do it kaya ganito. well what do you think i am talking about? i'm gonna tell you what it is. i want something extraordinary. i want to get out of my comfort zone. i want to feel the action, the thrill, and the adventure of being alive! living a life of comfort sometimes makes me feel lost in realizing the purpose of my existence, the mere meaning of why i am here. i am free but at times i do not feel free. there' s something there waiting for me. i knew it. i can feel it. waiting...

q and a with cuz
late last night, i asked him this:
what do you do when you feel lifeless, worthless and uninspired?
he answered me,
set a new goal and this time, hit it hard
bingo.
>>
a prayer
Lord, please lend your shoulder when it seems i have no one
please lend me your ears when no one seems to listen
please be at my side when no one seems to care
remind me O Lord how blessed i am when i feel worthless
remind me that there's something to look forward to when i get hopeless
and remind me that i am not alone when i feel helpless.

crossing my fingers
my week consists of studying andrew's then thinking, re- evaluating, and planning my next step. pedia or derma? hmmm. i still want to try on both. and freaking out to get the cash i need to meet the uber expensive application gimmicks of derma. i'm shelling out thousands of cash from my own pocket for those exams. ouch!
im dying to get into residency. i never planned to stay long in moonlighting. it's not that i don't enjoy earning money but time is more of my concern. time is precious for me. also, i wanted the perks that goes with residency like living in the metro (sorry mom) and hopefully hopefully getting a car (crossing my fingers). i like the idea of living alone. nobody knows how proud i feel whenever i go to the grocery alone buying stuffs for my apartment. hay. i really love being independent.
i was hoping to post a picture of ponds' latest facial foam with salysilic acid. i saw its advertisement while watching my favorite soap (tayong dalawa). i made a mental note to buy one when i pass by watson's but had second thoughts when i remembered i recently bought the new nivea deep pore cleanser which i haven't used yet.
i added links here to the blogs that i am addicted to. i don't know personally the owners of those blogs but sure know them since almost all of them are celebrities and one is a sister of my colleague. the common interests we share made me a follower. the things they post from architecture, clothes, accessories, food, landscapes, places and other beautiful things plus the inspiring thoughts they write makes me dream more, hope more, aspire more and yes, sometimes drool. someday someday i will land in one of those lifestyle shows and they will feature my house, farm, business establishment, or luxury vacation house. hehe
there's this song from boyz II men that was playing in my head since yesterday. sort of last song syndrome. im pretty lucky i got the song in my iTunes. the title is water runs dry. i really love it. arrangement was nice. although the lyrics is a little sad and i can't relate to it as of pres time. i guess it's the voice quality and harmony that makes it really sounds good. the voice of boyz II men is timeless! i also love the new buble's song haven't met you yet. can't help but replay it 10x before i move on to the next track. hehe.
this camera i like. hmmm kelan kaya ako magkakroon ng ganito?

break free
a few weeks back, i made an important decision. i scrapped off the rule i made about friendship and love. no more rules. i'm a free girl now.
this is what maturity can do. hay. but i feel happy with it. learning and re- learning things. trying something new. living life to the fullest.
well i guess, i can say this now- i will be happy to end up with a friend... but if it doesn't happen then at least i gave it a chance.

miss independent
yezzz. panalo ang title ng entry na ito. naalala ko since nung bata pa ako, pag tinatanong ako kung ano gusto ko maging, ang sinasagot ko ay 'to become independent.' somehow ngayon nangyayari na yun. hindi man 'totally' independent pero at least sa maraming bagay ako na mismo nagdedesisyon para sa sarili ko.
kanina, pumunta ako ng mall. kahapon ko pa balak pumunta dun. gusto ko sana lumabas at mag- enjoy bago ako magmongha ulit. kailangan na kase mag aral para sa exam.
and so kanina andun ako sa mall mag- isa. nanood ng G.I. Joe at nag window shopping. naghahanap ng makakainan. wala naman akong nakitang resto na may 'acquired taste' akong ma- eexperince. kaya ending e sa bahay kumain.
habang naglalakad sa mall, naisip ko pa din yung mga realization ko kagabi tungkol sa madaming bagay sa buhay ko. lalo na ang love life kong hindi na ulit nag- bloom ng bonggang bongga simula nung nagbreak kami ni 'artagnan' happy ako at nangyari ang realization na yun. at least ngayon hindi na ko magtataka/ magtatanong kung bakit hanggang ngayon mag-isa pa din ako. anyway, kaya nga ako andun sa mall kanina para ilabas ang sarili ko at gumawa ng mga bagay- bagay na ako lang. i was amused to look at the expression of people i come across with. nakakatuwang isipin na wala sa kanilang nakakakilala sa akin. gusto ko ipaalala sa sarili ko na may advantage din ang pag- iisa. na may sense of fulfillment din naman kahit mag- isa.
i wanted to celebrate my freedom while i can. i just want to live for this moment and not to think what tomorrow may bring.
well, i got what i want today coz i had fun.

one true love
konti na lang at maniniwala na ako na ang para sa akin ay hindi ko matatagpuan sa lugar na ito.
or... hindi NYA ako matatagpuan dito.
hay...
- buntong hininga ng isang bigo ngunit umaasa pa din na isang araw ay matatagpuan din ang batang paslit na ito.
flashback....
HELMET
akala ko sya na pero pag lingon ko, bigla akong nauntog. nasira ang helmet na nakasuot na pala sa ulo ko. akala ko matibay. magpapasalamat ba ako sa isang panaginip na hindi pa man nakapagsisimula ay natapos na agad?
oo.
mas maganda na ito kaysa magising kung kailan nasa kalagitnaan na ng isang magandang panaginip. paniguradong mas masakit 'yon.
hindi na siguro mabubuo ulit ang helmet...
tapos na ang kabanatang ito.
tomorrow, it's time to move on.

of love and friendship
since the beginning i have always chosen friendship over love. i didn't have regrets in doing it coz i believe i make the right choice every time. i believe, in friendship i can have that someone forever. in friendship no hearts could be hurt.
and now, those beliefs are challenged again. i am bothered coz this is one of those few times i ask my self, is it now time to reconsider? is it now the time to choose love over friendship?
confusion sets in.
how much time do i have left to think this over? how long will it take before you arrive?
for the longest time i have been the keeper of friendship. of peace. i have stood still. my heart was kept strong with the years of many challenges it faced and conquered. i have always won.
if i choose love over friendship, will it mean failure on my part?
how strong is my heart? how deep is your love?
if i choose you, can you promise forever? will you not make me realize tomorrow that i made the wrong decision of choosing love over friendship?
think. ponder. reflect.
a choice has to be made sooner or later.
love or friendship?

on this first day of august
the first news i got this morning is the death of the first woman president of the republic. and so i said a little prayer for her soul and thanked God for using her as an instrument to restore this country's democracy.
thank you madam ex- president.
i just got home an hour ago from a 24- hr duty in the hospital and as i check my blog, i was surprised that an old friend of mine left me a note although she didn't know who i was because i am using a pseudo. (devilish grin)
since she wrote to me on this blogger, its certain that she also keep an account here and had been writing here. just checked her page a while ago and i've felt something inside of me. i guess it was the distance... the nostalgia. for a moment i had a flashback and saw the long hallways of our old school... the friendships... the adventures... the ceremonies... the goodbyes... as we went on with our own lives we lost track of each other and after ten years we were able to find each other again through the death of a friend.
(i am happy too that i can catch up with them through reading their posts. i have an additional of 2 blogs to read. yey! i missed reading since my friend que stopped posting. i swear i've read everything he wrote there. im a self confessed fan of his blog. miss you, friend!)
i was reading my own post about the death of my friend and i was ashamed that two of my friends have written her long passages while i have written only 'goodbye' and 'thank you'. i am not being cold there. but yes, i did feel ashamed because we've been so close before. when i visited her on the first day of her wake, i talked to her as i looked at her in the 'box'. in my mind, i told her everything i wanted to tell her. tears didn't come out but there was this lingering pain in my chest seeing her like that (pain is much like having angina pectoris). i have been thinking of her weeks before her death. it broke my heart that we didn't get a chance to see each other again.
(to my two dear friends, i added you in my blogosphere for my convenience)
i hate you ex- girlfriend!
i do not know why this is happening to me again. is there a lesson that i have to learn here?
THE case scenario:
a guy likes me and is starting to show it
this guy has an ex girlfriend. its been a hundred years since they broke up
the ex- girlfriend knew her ex-boyfriend is eyeing on me
ex- girlfriend got jealous, realized she still love her ex- boyfriend
ex- girlfriend displays emotion again for her ex- boyfriend who is currently giving me sweet nothings
guy looks around and poof!
ex- boyfriend and ex- girlfriend aren't on 'EX'- status anymore
they are back in each other's arms again
and me? all i said is 'what the f...?' kaloka!
i mean, is heaven using me to make couples realize that they are for each other (oh dear Lord, why me????) i don't really like the guy as in 'REALLY' like him and that he's the one for me. well, he MIGHT be. but how will we know that if we didn't get the chance to go further?
hmmm... well maybe im beginning to like the guy. and maybe hoping he can be someone significant. he made me laugh sometimes. and it's supposed to be 'something' when someone makes you laugh. but i cannot win with past love affair. they already have that common ground we don't have yet.
now that this happened to me for the second time around, will i let this pass again and just think that he's not the one and someone else will come along? or stay in the battlefield and fight the tug of war? hmmm... im getting really irritated. hohummm for sure after a good meal at that greek resto i've been eyeing for weeks now and after a good night's sleep, i'll return to the carefree me again and choose the former. good bye lover boy. hope you and your then ex-girlfriend will be happy for a very long time.
food finds
i am beginning to fall in love again with food. D, my good friend and colleague gave me the addy of his sister's blogpage. she's been writing about the restos she's been to and rated them. i must say, she's giving me good advices where my palate will indulge. like her, i also wanted to try polish, portuguese, russian food, etc. my, my, my those pictures in her blog keeps me dreaming of FOOD!

time
when you are a doctor, time is always a problem.
there were holidays that you cannot attend to, birthdays you failed to remember. monthsaries, anniversaries, get together parties... countless events that you failed to attend because you have to be in the hospital to save lives.
however, time in the hospital has always been fast. 7 days in a week is shorten down to 3- pre-duty, duty, and from duty. a cycle that is never meant to be broken. coz once you did, you will be in the hospital forever- serving perpetual duty.
the sad part of it is, no one who is not in the realm of the medical practice understood the cycle. and this misunderstanding has caused a lot of fights and bickering between couples or even friends.
unfair. yes it is. coz in our part, we were also robbed off that precious time we want to spend on sleeping, eating more, shopping, traveling, spend time with family and friends or someone special. im wondering, has anyone, especially those who left us or fought with us thought about that?
and now, ive had a break going through the cycle. its been 8 months since i left.
looking back, i had a lot of plans on how to spend all these time that i have now. i have waited for this. and yet i cant do what i have planned.
coz i may have all the time now... but i have no one to spend it with.

D5 NSS or D5 0.3NaCL?
grabe. ibang iba pala ang buhay moonlighter. para kang jack of all trades. you treat every kind disease that knocks at your door. nakakatakot na nakaka taranta. most of the times i would just stare at my patients or the nurses. lost moments kung baga.
yung mga seniors ko eh for sure naloloka sa kin. hehe. naloloka din ako sa kanila. iba ang mga diagnosis na alam nila sa alam ko. may mga management na iba sa natutunan ko (like the IV fluids na tinuro sa min sa PCMC. sabi ng mga pedia fellows eh wag daw gagamit ng D5 0.3% pag nagreresuscitate).
everytime im in duty, it made me realize how much more i need to learn and master. coz when the ER door opened i should be snappy making my assessment and giving orders to the nurses. the weight of being the captain of the ship is surely heavy but challenging too. we don't know what cases we will be expecting when we enter the hospital coz every duty day is a different story.

the beginning of a new life
yehey! naayos na din ang internet namin. after 1 month of waiting, nakakapag internet na ko. namiss ko talaga to.
1 month na din nakalipas simula nung nakapasa ako ng boards. 2 weeks din akong naging bum and then after 1 day pagkatapos ng oathtaking, voila! may trabaho na ko.
naalala ko tuloy yung theme song ng sikat na movie...
"you changed my life in a moment and i'll never be the same again..."
passing the board exams really changed my life. now, i make my own money. now, people treat me differently. now, i am somebody.
now, hatid-sundo pa din ako ni kuya alex. ang aking dakilang driver.
salamat kuya. hehe
next month di mo na ko masusundo sa pupuntahan ko. hihihi ;)

my hopes, dreams, and wishes for 2009
its 20-0-9. time is really fast. this year is an important year for me. im gonna take the board exam this year and whatever the result is, it will gonna make a big impact on my life. well a lot of things depend on it. so my first wish for this year is that i may be able to pass the boards.
and the rest will follow.
what i'm gonna leave behind
a prosperous new year to everyone!
----------addendum
i had a chat with a good friend of mine just before the year end and the topic was Big. i told him i'm dropping my hopes for him. he's not my Big anymore and i dont like to be carrie bradshaw na. hahahaha now this is getting silly. but after what happened after our common friend's son's christening, i realized i cannot force myself to redevelop my affection for him. my friend was arguing that i shouldn't totally shrug him off coz he seems to be a good catch. that leaves me into thinking, hey, didnt they tell me I AM the good catch. my point is, if im going to enter a relationship, the only reason for that is because we love each other and not because i can get something from him. love should be the only reason. and so as an inclusion to the above list, im putting Big to 'what i will leave behind' list.
and the rest will follow.
what i'm gonna leave behind
- heartaches. ok this time i've got to be honest. i feel i'm still not really as in super over it. meron pa ring natitirang heartache. i guess it has something to do with the crying thing. i feel that i haven't cried enough. after the break up, i just had a day for the crying, the thinking, and the picking up the pieces. it happened on a pretty bad timing. life was so busy then. so after the exam, i promised to give myself time to heal and kick it out of my system.
- home. ok this is all about the growing up thing. i just feel that im too old to live with my 'rents. i wanna try to live on my own without receiving financial support from them. ayoko naman dumating yung panahon na kukunin nalang ako ng mapapangasawa ko sa bahay. gusto ko naman maranasan maging independent muna.
- i so badly wanted change (as in physical change ito) so to really get it all started, i have to earn for myself. and of course to be able to do that, i have to accomplish my number one goal for this year. do you need to guess what it is? hmm.. it's really my key to everything. the make or break thing huh
- strengthen my relationship with God. during those rocky times with my ex, my relationship with God was also in a bad shape. i remember avoiding going inside the chapel. and at times, i dont anymore ask for His help and guidance. i became proud and hard headed. maybe because at the back of my mind i knew that if i kneel there in front of Him, i will feel all the hurt and i didn't want that. as time goes by, my absences on sunday masses became frequent and praying became less. and now i feel im too far away. two weeks ago, i found a book from the pink sisters in tagaytay entitled, healing presence of God. i plan to read and contemplate on it after the boards.
- work and live on my own.
- plan where my life is headed. like choosing a residency training program and choose where to settle.
- and definitely have a time to stop and smell the flowers. i really deserve that. don't you think?
a prosperous new year to everyone!
