OKTOBEERFEST

In a few days, october na which means:

examination week nanaman sa school--and first semester of nursing school is almost finished...and i thought i wouldn't survive but hey, i did! Hooray for me!

relatives from the US of A are arriving and im excited to see everyone again and to PHARTYYY!!!!

two months na lang, pasko na. it was exciting to see the "parols" along ortigas extension for sale na ulit. feeling ko kakaalis lang ng mga parol, ngayon they are back and im sure in the comming weeks mas dadami na yan.

i have to start thinking of a christmas give away na...something unique but cheap. wala ako budget this year because of all the gastos--i need sideline!!!!

at syempre pa, oktobeerfest na. YUN NA!

UAAP

i watched the games earlier and im happy that arwind santos got the MVP award (i really thought mac cardona was gonna get it) and that FEU won. With FEU's win, mas exciting ang next game....na hindi ko din naman mapapanood kasi may work and iskul.

i remember how much i enjoy watching the pba and how i adore purefood team. avid fan ako ni alvin patrimonio and jerry condinera. lagi ako pikon if san miguel would win over purefoods. if purefood team was not playing, ginebra ang team ko. the team i hate the most is alaska--up to now i still don't like that team. i enjoy PBA the most pag may awayan, ang war freak ko! buti na lang ngayon di na masyado. miss ko na din ang victorias at ang paglalaro namin ng basketball ng mga cousins ko--TWIN TOWER RULES!!! hehehe...may mga tagahanga pa naman kmi na mga kids na neighbor ng cousin ko. habang naglalaro kmi ng agawan buko, este basketball nakiki cheer din sila. memories....

LITTLE BLACK BOOK

i was able to watch 2 movies over the weekend. ok, 1 lang kasi ung Bourne Supremacy eh tinulugan ko lang sabi ni marc. little black book was a dvd i bought kay manong and the movie was nice..cute actually. sabi dun sa movie that as what john lennon said "life happens when one is busy making other plans". This is so true. sometimes, i plan so much that i miss on things that happen around me, it's true that i gotta live and stop planning. and that God has prepared surprises for me in this life. that even before i have asked for something, He knows already what i need and that before all the planning i have been making, God has planned my life already. tama ung song sa movie...nobody does it better.

Great week ahead to all!!!

SARI-SARI

why the title? i just can't think of anything....hehehehehe!

i remember how i gave our dogs their names (may their souls rest in peace). our first dog was named bakit dahil trip ko. he got killed because of cancer, so we had another dog and he was called ewan this was to answer for our first dogs name. but he had leukemia and left us too. our third dog was named ano dahil wala lang. but he had a myocardial infraction and had to leave earth too. if in the future, may mag bigay sa akin ng dog i have a name waiting for it already--PAKIALAM MO!

im super excited for the vacation im having in october. i do hope we get to finalize the trip already--BEACH here i come!!!

my officemate gave birth to a baby boy this afternoon after 30 hours of labor. weebee to SMIGOL!!!

Weekend with Ate V and Veh!

to my cousins from mom's side.....we had loads of fun but we missed you guys!!!!

it was a wonderful time to be able to just relax....have nothing to worry about but the sun. enjoy the nice sound of the water, enjoy each others company, and enjoy the yummy food prepared by yashy and company.

we got to batangas at 4 in the afternoon saturday, travel took so long because of the stops we had to make, stop at mc do to eat and stop at fiesta mall ( a mall in lipa) to buy medicine. but the waiting to get to the beach was all worth it.

we had a "bangka" ride with the kids just before sunset, which was nice because there was no more sun and the wind was cool already.

the night was spent sharing stories, eating, listening to kuya louie sing, walking by the beach, sawayin ang mga batang makukulit ( talaga naman, ang kukulit!), watch the koreans dance in the sand without music (di kaya culto yun?!?!?) syempre pa andyan ang picturan and finally by midnight--SLEEP!

it was so fun, even the travel back to manila was fun. sana sa susunod, lahat ng mga cuz makasama na. will post pictures pag sinipag na ako....kasama pa namin si ate v at si veh!

VACATION MODE

yipeee!!! im off to the beach today with some cousins...i wasn't able to go on vacation the whole summer season so this is my first time to go to the beach this year--talk about boring life!

it would be a good break from work and school....

so for now, bye manila and batangas here i come!

What God Hath Promised

God hath not promised skies always blue,
Flowers-strewn pathways all our lives through;

God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.

But God hath promised strength for the day.

Rest for the labor,light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,

Unfailing sympathy
Undying love...

i heard this poem at church last sunday and i just want to share it with you--yes you!

first day of the month

when i woke up this morning first thing i thought of was not the usual "office na naman" but "BER na!" how time flies...Christmas is so near!!!!

went to bulacan last sat to attend Dra.Lara's party and it was nice to be with cousins again...didn't take pictures because i was tamad.

our home sweet house is under "construction", meaning ang gulo-gulo and the things in my mom's room and the tv room are all in our bedroom kaya para ako natutulog sa bodega! hehehhee....

my mom told me of a bad news last saturday, manang melo again had a stroke. it was so sad hearing this because i was really praying that she gets well soon and i knew that somehow she was recovering really well from her first stroke. with this news, my mom sent borgy to bacolod to visit his mom. she has been in the icu since saturday and i just pray for God's will. i know that God will not allow anything to happen that it is not in accordance with his plan--pls continue to pray for her and for the rest of the family. i miss manang melo badly and im really looking forward to visiting her on october.

with the midterms finished, im really happy with the midterm grades i got. im starting to enjoy nursing school and have been learning a lot of new things lately. im just tamad because im back to reading and reviewing. i really hope i get to finish nursing school--LONDON here i come!! hehehe...wishful thinking!

i had LASIK in january 2002 and was happy when my vision was back to 20/20...but i guess good things never last kasi may grade na ulit eyes ko. doctor told me that sometimes the eye grade do come back and then stabilizes at a certain grade and sometimes they would just have to do the operation again. she asked me if i wanted a repeat of the operation, my reply---not now. maybe in a year or two if the grade worsens but im not ready and im not willing to undergo LASIK again. wawa naman ang eyes ko!

i have exams tom so i got to stop blabbing and get back to reading....

Funny!Funny!Funny!

sent by a friend--enjoy reading.

Para sa nagbabalak mag resign.....
Think about it...
Sa hirap maghanap ng trabaho sa panahon ngayon,
pati pag se-salesman ng vacumm cleaner ay pinasok ko na.
Minsan, pumunta ako sa isang bahay sa isang
barangay. Kumatok ako sa pinto... Isang malaking
misis ang nagbukas sa akin. Pero bago
nakapagsalita ang babae, inunahan ko sya. mabilis
akong pumasok papunta sa sala nila para di na
makatangi sa presentation ko.
Katulad ng utos ng boss ko, binuksan ko ang isang
plastic bag ng sm at ibinuhos lahat ng lamang tae
ng kalabaw sa carpet. this was a technique taught
to me In selling to get a massive and immediate
attention from the buyer.
Sabi ko sa kanya w/ confidence: "Misis, pag di
nalinis ng vacuum cleaner ko NGAYON ang mga tae sa
carpet niyo, kakainin ko isa-isa yan!", ang
mayabang na sinambit ko.
"Gusto mo ng ketsup para diyan?", tanong ng babae.
Sabi ko, "Bakit po?"
"Eh, kalilipat lang namin. wala pa kaming kuryente."

Wala Lang

only in the philippines...

na ang mga tao, lubog na ang mga bahay sa baha eh, kumakaway pa sa itaas ng bubong ng mga bahay nila at mukhang tuwang-tuwa pa sa mga nangyayari sa kanila.

na ang mga bata eh tuwang-tuwa na nag swimming sa baha...eh bakit kaya wala pa nanalo ng gold medal para sa pilipinas sa swimming event ng olympics? eh galing lumangoy ng mga batang ito sa baha.

na bawal na mag charge ng cellphone sa mga government offices ang mga empleyado para makatipid. sa dami ba naman kasi ng nag chacharge sa opis.

pero, kahit na may hinaharap tayong FISCAL CRISIS---sarap pa din maging PINOY!

speaking of being a filipino, got a message from dixie on friendster that kevin is a finalist for the Brisbane Karaoke Idol! how i wish i'm in australia to cheer and of course vote for him...galing mo talaga bro! kaya pala di ka makapasa sa K the one million videoke challenge kasi pang Brisbane Karaoke Idol ka pala.



i really hope he wins...he deserves it because he really is very talented. if you are reading this entry and you are in australia and would want to vote for kevin, message me for details on how you could help him win.

happy quezon city day!

today was a local holiday...pero di uso sa ibank and local holiday kaya naman open pa din kami to service the clients..syempre naman "we will be the epitome of service excellence in our chosen field, as we seize every challenge to make a difference for you." sa totoo lang--wala naman kami ginawa sa office...kalokohan ang pagpasok!

but since we didn't have school today too, i took advantage of the free time and played badminton with people from the ofc and clients. it was so fun--and it was a great break from all the studying...

i found the following at the grocery....










it's so nice to see magnolia chocolait back in the stores....for chocnut lovers, choco peanut ice cream flavor is a must...i love sunflower strawberry...

ice monster soon to open in banawe--HORRAY!!!!

Let's Celebrate!

i grew up with her...she was like a sister too...i saw how hard she has worked for anything she wanted...she has the determination i sometimes wish i had...i saw her happy and sad...i remember the time someone called her here in the house and said that he was a sikret ad-mi-rer (that is how it is to be pronounced, bisaya ata e)...it made me sad when she moved out of the house already...was uberly happy when she passed the nursing board exams with flying colors...she supported me with anything...she loves my family as if it was her own...and i love her family too...but im happy again with what she has recently achieved.

Today the results for the physician licensure came out and she made it! Congratulations ate issang for i know that you really,really deserve it. i know how hard you have worked for this and that this is what you have really wanted. so proud of you MA. LARISSA M. HALILI, M.D.

bagaberde,u-turn and side A

click on the images for a bigger version








i had FUN! we had FUN! i had a FUN night....i haven't had this fun in a long time. u-turn is one of the best acoustic group i have listened too. and of course ang side A, walang kupas pa din.

dibeedee dibeedee any one? took a picture of amboy wearing the costume we bought at 300.00, priced originally at 350.  

my trip to quiapo

i was planning to study....but i didn't. mama san, wanted to go to quaipo to buy amboy's costume for the linggo ng wika program in school--so to quiapo we went. it was my first time to go to quiapo. when i say go is to really go around. i usually passby quaipo if we have to go to the airport, pier, roxas blvd or intramuros. but today was my first time to walk on the underpass, to see the quiapo church and to go inside the tiangge areas. i had fun!!!

i bought a blouse for only 160.00 (ha! what a bargain, i just hope it wont shrink after it has been washed) and santol bacolod, 3 for 20.00...ang sarap!

the games have began....

new jersey governor admitted to being gay, cheating on his wife and to having an extramarital gay affair.

dino guevarra is given a second chance in his showbiz career...may pang enroll na si ethan!!! sana si migsy din....

dean is comming home in a few months---cousins, party time!

im stressed...harassed....so i had a haircut! =) had fun at the salon with officemates. buti na lang my classes were at 7pm pa....

in one of our unit test in pharmacology, number 11 question was:

All of the following are not included in the nursing interventions of a client who undergone anesthesia

a. monitor the patient's post-op state of sensorium
b. monitor weight of the patient pre and post-op
c. check the client for skin rashes
d. observed the client for withdrawal syndrome.

our teacher forgot the word EXCEPT so she just told us while taking the exam "class, number 11 except ha!"

next meeting our teacher returned the test papers and when she gave the test paper of one of my classmates, she asked "why didn't you answer number 11 of test one?" classmate replied "ma'am sabi mo except!"

buti na lang di sya second courser.....

Thank God for weekends, when not only me but most of us (not all since others have to go to work on weekends) have the chance to rest, recharge the almost drained if not totally drained batteries of our body and to do the things you have wanted to do over the "crazy week" but couldn't since 24 hours a day seem to be so short.

Work is fine...bosses in the office have talked me into extending what was suppose to be a 6 months training to an additional 3 months. I hated the idea since i know i am not a "service " person but a "sales" person, but since an office mate is to give birth anytime i have no choice but to say yes. So i am still doing the service work until the office mate goes back to work from the maternity leave.

I never thought nursing school would be this busy and demanding. So many things to memorize and remember--and to think im only in my first semester. I have been actually thinking if this is really what i want--if im really cut for the nursing profession....
