The Fifth Marauder

I'm bored. Out of my fuh-reakin mind. More than usual anyway. It's nobody's fault really, coz i know that the parents would have helped me get a job if they could. I mean who wouldn't want extra help financially? I know i have like tons of stuff to do here at home. I have lots of unread books (including my Saunders NCLEX Comprehensive Reviewer hehehe), unfinished DS games, neverending new replies on plurk, and weekday reruns of Gilmore Girls. It's the kind of life a burnt (burned? whatever) out working yuppie/a person going through midlife crisis could only dream about (well except for the Gilmore Girls part hehe), but I am getting tired of it. I've been living the bum life since June 3 and it's not as fun as it used to be anymore. Maybe I need a new hobby?

Anyway it's been snowing since yesterday afternoon and i just love how the snow makes everything look so nice and clean. Plus it acts as a reflector so it makes the day feel less Seasonal Affective Disorder-y than usual. Meaning it's not as "makulimlim" during daytime as it has been for the past few weeks. I actually spent like 10 minutes watching snow fall to the ground yesterday. See, I am that bored. Haha. I can't seem to take a good picture of the snowy wonderland outside my window because I only have a regular point and shoot cam and well I suck at taking pictures hehehe. Nope, can't put all the blame on the camera.

So, any anti-boredom ideas?

just when i thought that i was going to spend halloween in front of the tv, eating chocolate fudge pop tarts while watching disney channel shows, my uncle calls and invites me to come help hand out candy to trick or treaters in their neighborhood. whee. i did not have a costume prepared, but i did wear a shirt that has the word "Spooky" printed across my chest. the little kids were so cute! i wish i brought my digicam with me to my uncle's house. i saw a few storm troopers, firemen, disney princesses, power rangers,  grim reapers, batman, robin, mickey and minnie mouse, the hulk (with matching green hair hahaha), one of the transformers (i can't remember who hahaha), a headless person in a suit, beetlejuice, elmo, and a bumblebee with the cutest cheeks ever.

then i realized this was the first halloween since i was like 10 years old that i did something halloween-y. that time i was the one begging for candy, and now 15 years later i am the one handing them out. demmet i feel so old. maybe next year i could go to an actual halloween party?

on other stuff, things are still a bit hazy about my usrn application. but i think we have an appointment with the lawyer in about 2 weeks. i can find out once and for all if i am doing things right with my application and whether i need to go back by january or not.

i love my ds! too bad i've been neglecting my other favorite hobby (which is reading for fun) because of it. i can only choose one or the other because most of the time i am busy plurking (hehehe) and reviewing for the nclex. or trying to anyway. hahahaha. i still don't have my elgibility nor have completed all of the requirements (my TOR is still on its way to the credentialling agency and processing usually takes 15 days) but a little advanced reading never hurt anyone. hahaha. i just wish i could say that i'm rockin my self review but actually i'm not. i can't concentrate long enough to finish a 10 page chapter in under 2 hours. hay. and that is why i enrolled to two review centers to prepare myself for the NLE folks. hahaha.

aww i missed the mAIFia! our first aif halloween with a poster/invitation (courtesy of jay hehehe)  and 6 cars and i was not there

it has been an unproductive two days. i think it's because i haven't been drinking my morning coffee. or maybe it's because of the super cold weather that's making me sleepy like all the time and when i am not sleeping i just wanted to stay under my blanket and watch disney channel shows. or maybe it's the fact that i am studying one of the topics in nursing that i used to suck at. well i still do. i didn't completely understand acid base balances when it was taught to us in class, didn't have a full grasp on it when it was sort of tackled in the nle review and i guess it's no surprise really that i won't understand it now. well there's always tomorrow. hehehe. maybe i do need to enroll myself in a review class again but i didn't want to do that yet because it's expensive and i am still not sure whether i will be taking the nclex in the next two months or not. i have just filed my application form and i think it would take weeks before i will be given an exam permit.

i actually turned down a party invitation from my cousin for tonight. that's how lazy i am. hahahaha.

last night i had a dream that somebody threw a pepsi bottle at me, causing the said bottle to break and tiny shards of glass got stuck in my arm, kinda like the first patient's case in trauma center (hehe) and i was asking cha to remove the glass bits from my arm but she couldn't hear me and the next thing i know i was lying on the floor with corbin bleu on top of me. hahaha. i guess it means that i wanted to watch hsm3 that bad and i miss my ds.

what i wouldn't give for a fast forward button right now. i hate waiting.

hahaha i can't believe it took me almost a month after stepping upon american soil to make a blog entry that is longer than 140 characters. so anyway what is up with me you ask? i love it here. despite the fact that i live in the suburbs so it's a wee bit difficult to go to places without a car. despite the fact that the next time i will experience a party party will be sometime in 2009. despite the fact that the only people i see aside from my parents are my aunt and uncle and my cousins and i do not see them that often. despite the fact that i am stuck with a dial up internet and i won't be given a dsl until november, at the earliest. not to sound ungrateful to the people who have been feeding me and providing a roof over my head for almost all my life, but i love that i have the apartment to myself almost all day when the parents are at work. and i seem to have gotten over my insomnia because i don't have a problem with sleeping anymore. i take afternoon naps now and sometimes i have to force myself to get out of bed so i could do something else with my time.

i just wish i could start working already. or that i would be done with my USRN application before the middle of february so i wouldn't have to go back. don't get me wrong,i love the philippines and my life there. i wouldn't have to do my own laundry or cook and stuff plus i miss my friends and how from a simple text message (or in some cases, a plurk entry hehehe), a lakad would stem from it hours later, but i really really want to stay here for the time being. i want to start earning the thousands of dollars that i was promised when i agreed to take up nursing. hehehe just kidding. seriously though i want to start working so that my parents didn't have to work so hard anymore. really. hehehe.

please do wish me luck guys, i've never prayed so hard for anything in my life. even for the local boards.

hahaha i can't remember the rest of the school hymn anymore. anyway, i was at manresa earlier because i had to have the xerox copy of my hs diploma certified, as it is one of the requirements for applying abroad. i got a little lost because apparently the registrar's and accounting offices are now accessible from the parking lot. and a lot of things has changed inside the school! grabe the 1st floor CR is actually usable and clean and sweet smelling now! and the library is now located on top of bsh, aka our school canteen. basta, asenso na ang manre! and then i ran into mrs faller, ms austria, and mrs midel. apparently miss pat is also still there but i didn't see her. same for miss baclagan.

anyway i tried walking from school to watson's phase 1 and along the way i ran into kyla and her hubby. chatted for a while and can i just say that i was the one who looked more pregnant. hehe.

i am already running low on tinted moisturizer. originally i wanted to buy a tube of skin food bb cream but i don't have the dough for it so i decided to get the nivea tinted moisturizer instead. i seem to have lost my favorite revlon colorstay retractable eyeliner in black brown but again i don't have the money to buy a replacement, and since i have a ton of sample sized eyeshadows (thanks to my titas' continued patronage of lancome and clinique products hehe) and an eyeliner brush, i will use those for the time being. good luck. i can't leave the house anymore without TM, loose powder, and eyeliner on anymore pa naman.

i think it took me more than an hour to construct this blog entry. damn you plurk and your 140 character limit. hahaha
