The Fifth Marauder

wala lang maisip na title. hehe 

hay naku. wala lang. tinatamad akong mag aral. there's nothing new with that i know. pero kasi pupunta ako ng US sa sunday. ang original sked ng finals ay dapat this week. eh ang daming bagyo ngayong sem na to, so madaming days na walang pasok. ung mga bwakanangshet na nag aayos ng school calendar, minove ung finals to 17-19. so paano un? nakiusap ako baka pwede mag finals ako ng mas maaga. pinayagan muna ako. un nga lang habang masarap ang buhay ng mga kaklase ko, ako andito nagdudusa mag isa. mas masaya pala pag may karamay. ang tigas kasi ng ulo ko, ayokong i-move ung flight ko. sayang kasi pamasahe hehe.

anyway, grabe talaga ang daming hirap bago sarap. kelangan ko magpasecond shot ng anti-rabies (kasi minsan nagiging ulol ako! haha joke! kelangan for school baka daw mahawa kami sa mga rabies patients) sa 16. eh wala na ko. so nagtapon ako ng 400 pesos kahapon. hindi kasi pipirmahan naman ung clearance ko pag ndi daw ako nagpashot. pag hindi ko na follow up ung 1st shot sa 16, back to zero daw, uulitin ung first shot. shet. buti na lang hindi masyado masakit. sa bulsa lang hehe.

 i love our pedia prof talaga promise! exempted na ko sa finals ng subject niya! so imbes na 3 ang kukunin kong exams sa thursday nang isang upuan lang, 2 na lang! wheee!!!

dapat ay finals ko sa patho-physiology ng 1 pm ngayon, sa clinic ng prof ko sa may cupang. tumawag siya ng 11 am kanina, sabi mga 6:30 na lang daw ako mag finals, sa may hospital sa loob ng school kasi madami daw siyang pasyente. hindi ko alam kanina kung matutuwa ako o maiinis ako. matutuwa kasi hindi pa ko masyado prepared (again, wala nang bago dun haha). maiinis kasi gumising ako ng maaga kaninang umaga kasi gusto kong mag aral. haha.

kaya tuloy may mixed feelings ako towards this vacation. minsan excited ako. sa mga panahon na dapat ay nag aaral ako, iniisip ko ang mga dadalhin kong damit, libro, sapatos, at makeup. pero kahapon naiinis ako kasi ang daming info na kailangan ko isaksak sa utak ko sa mabilis na panahon. ang dami kelangan gawin bago ako umalis. baka din magulo ang schedule ng duty ko next sem dahil sa buwakanang shet na rabies shot na yan. may area kasi na halos lahat ng pasyente ay ung nakagat ng mga hayop may rabies at may mga instances daw na nauulol ung mga yun, tapos pag nakalmot daw kami, lagot, may rabies na rin kami. eh hindi kami ipapagduty dun pag hindi complete ung rabies shot. sana lang late pa ung rotation ko sa area na un, kasi pag balik ko pa ako makakapag pa shot at 1 month pa bago maging effective ung shot. hay naku.

kelangan ko na maligo at magpunta ng school. 6:30 pa exam ko pero kasi kailangan ko pa tapusin ang clearance ko. at feeling ko mas makakapag aral ako sa school kesa dito sa bahay kasi solo ko ang library dun kasi ako lang ang nagffinal exam sa buong school! haha 

as in philippine idol.

i'm a sucker for singing contests. however, ang tagal ko nang hindi nakakapanood ng philippine idol. hindi ko alam kung bakit, pero lagi na lang nagkakaroon ng something every saturday night kaya hindi ako nakakapanood. so sa madaling salita, finally nakapanood ako nitong sabadong ito. hindi ko ulit alam kung bakit, pero gustong-gusto ko pinapanood si amrs cruz. siguro kasi pareho kaming malaki ang pwet at balakang (hahaha) kaya kampi ako sa kanya. basta un. pero wala pa kong super fave na ung tipong shet manok ko to, magsasayang ako ng pera para magtext vote para sa contestant na ito. parang hirap na hirap ako nung pinapanood siya magperform. parang ang sakit sa lalamunan nung ginagawa niya at nakakapagod. may tawag sa ginagawa niya eh, basta ung malalim ung voice na ewan. parang ginagawa din un ni armi millare sa mga kanta nila. basta un. pero gusto ko pa rin siya. masyado lang siya minsan maarte at iyakin.

anyway, sa panonood ko nung performance night, nagustuhan ko rin si apple (apples? di ko maalala hehe), basta ung girl na kumanta ng you make me feel like a natural woman. at sa opinion ko hindi pa dapat si stef ung natanggal kundi ung babaeng kumanta ng always be my baby. si mariah carey lang in my opinion ang may karapatang kumanta ng sarili niyang kanta at wala nang iba. tsaka si drae. huhuhu hindi pa rin sya dapat matanggal. parang napakabait niya kasi. haha what a reason noh? basta ok naman ung pagkanta niya eh. actually for some reason hindi ako masyado nanonood pag ung mga boys na ung kumakanta. 

ganyan ako. hindi ko alam kung bakit mas gusto kong nakikinig sa mga babaeng bokalista imbes na sa mga lalaki. kahit sa american idol, babae lagi ang manok ko.

gusto ko tong kantang to. ganyan kaya talaga ang boses nila without the enhancements of technology? mukha naman kasi ilang beses nang kumakanta si alyson michalka sa phil of the future and mukhang ok naman boses niya.

shet 2 finals ko bukas at hindi pa ko nagsstart mag aral!!! 

i'm here! just arrived yesterday. and for the nth time, i really really miss my ipod. it was my first time to go on a US trip alone, so there was no one to talk to. i was hella tired before the flight, with the stress of packing at the last minute (exactly the night before my flight), doing the fun run (we were supposed to "run" 5 kilometers for charity but my friends and i just brisk-walked the whole time. haha it's still tiring though), and studying for my finals. i have been running on 3 hours of sleep for the past 3 days prior to my arrival. i wasn't able to sleep on the duration of my flight because i was carrying a lot of cash (it wasn't mine *sniff*) along with my cousin's fiancee's engagement ring. and the seats were so uncomfortable. i reached a point wherein i was repeating the PI word under my breath over and over again because i'm already tired and i couldn't sleep even if i wanted to. i think i also caught something during our stopover in japan because i was sneezing a whole lot. by the way, the weather in japan is fantastic! i wasn't able to get out from the airport, but when i was getting out of the plane, a person in overalls suddenly came in through an door at that tunnel thing that connects the door of the plane to the airport, and a strong gush of cold wind followed him before he closed the door. wow. i can say nakalanghap ako ng hangin sa labas ng airport ng japan. hehe.

anyway, i forgot to mention that my lip balms were confiscated during the bag inspection. i brought 2 with me, the first one was a strawberry lip balm from body shop, and the other was a godiva lico white lip gloss (which looks suspiciously like repackaged petroleum jelly). both items are relatively cheap, but i brought those with me so i won't have chapped lips during the flight. i did have a tube of lipstick with me, but it looks weird on my lips without the gloss. there was a shiseido counter near the waiting area, and the tester for the clear lip gloss looks new (or at least i hope it's new hehe) so i swiped a little on my lips. i wanted to explore the airport but i might forget to be aware of the time because i was a little bangag.

i got here at 9 am, took a nap for like 3 hours. i didn't want to sleep so i could correct my body clock but i was really really tired. i slept again at 10 pm and woke up at 10:30. my tita said i must have been really really tired because i slept through all the ruckus their workmen was making. she was having their living room and kitchen extended and now that i am fully awake, the noise is giving me a headache. 

i'm sleepy again. i wasn't in the mood for lunch but i had to eat anyway because it's nakakahiya not to.

i really miss my ipod. i will be leaving for chicago tomorrow and my mom and dad's pc is ancient, so i don't think will be going online until i go back to manila. will also be lying low on the yosi. yay me.

 

haba ng title! haha

finally, i am able to go online on ym and check my email, update my blogs, read other people's blogs, etc. my parents' apartment does have a pc and internet connection, but it's too damn slow, hence, the quote from gilmore girls. haha. i am not complaining though coz i am having a blast here in chicago even if i do nothing all day but watch tv and eat. yay. haha.

 seriously though, being here makes me feel the urge to go home so it would seem like i'm going to reach the end of my nursing education soon, so i could stay here forever!

exag. pero really, i think i'm enjoying my vacation. akala ko kasi nung una hindi. sobrang na-stress ako bago ng flight ko, syempre ung outlook ko nun sa buhay medyo masama. tsaka ang saya mag shopping dito! sa pilipinas kasi ang papayat ng mga tao kaya nahihirapan ako mag shopping. ayoko nga lang masyado mamili though, kasi nililigawan ko pa ung ipod video ko sa target. 250$ less 10% kasi may pinsan akong nagttrabaho dun, gagamitin ko ung discount card niya. actually ok na ko eh, nakabili na ko ng wallet, bag, 3 shirts, and 1 pair of jeans. basta ba makumpleto ko na ung mga kulang sa makeup kit ko, eh pwede na ko hindi mag shopping hanggang sa pagbalik ko sa manila. talagang ndi pwede kalimutan ang makeup eh noh. haha.

hay naku ayun lang. shet pag naiisip ko na 2 weeks na lang ako dito.. kasi pag uwi ko ibig sabihin, may pasok na naman. mainit na naman. magduduty na naman.

 

wala lang gusto ko lang mag update. there's nothing else to do here eh, but i'm not complaining! well actually gusto ko lang mag reklamo about one of the things i didn't like about this place the last time that i was here, when i thought i was gonna stay here for a really long time, and 2 years later my attitude towards it haven't changed. the fact that i have to ask somebody to drive me around. i commute all the time in the philippines, and i don't really mind the heat, dust, pollution (both noise and air), snatchers, holduppers, and various kinds of j people (hahaha ang sama ko). it's way better than being bored at home. so anyway, ang point ng entry na ito ay, i cannot shop alone. ako ay isang babae. it's in my nature to take a long time when shopping for something. eh sa lahat ng ayoko ay yung hinihintay ako, tapos susundan ako pag tumitingin tingin ako. argh nakakainis. pag nangyayari yun, syempre nahihiya na ko sa kasama ko kaya magmamadali ako, so ung mabibili ko ay ung hindi ko gusto. dati nung nagsisimula pa ang ako maglandi, nagpasama ako sa mga kaibigan ko bumili ng makeup sa watson's sa sm jologs, ayun nainip lang sila sa kin hanggat sinabi nung isa kong friend "oi siguraduhin mo lang na bibili ka ha, tagal tagal natin dito...". syempre nahiya naman ako. matagal talaga ako mag shopping lalo na pag make up ang bibilhin ko. kasi, syempre kailangan ko mag compare ng prices, shades, at brands. plus, i just love looking at makeup. minsan pag naiinis ako or bored, paglalaruan ko lang ung makeup kit ko, or pupunta sa website ng m.a.c., ok na ko pagkatapos. member nga ako ng m.a.c. lj community eh, even if i don't own a single mac thing. mahal eh, saka na pag nagttrabaho na ko. so anyway, kung saan saan na ko nadala ng mga tao, pero ndi pa rin ako nakakabili nung mga kulang ko sa makeup kit ko. ang mga tao kasi dito parang lagi nagmamadali. o baka feeling ko lang yun kasi sanay talaga ako mag shopping mag isa. oh well. sabi sa kin sa tuesday daw promise makakapamili ako ng makeup na kailangan ko... sa drugstore. para mura. haha lagot sila sa kin. waaaah ipod. sablay pa rin ang panlilligaw ko. di bale may 2 weeks pa ko dito.

it's gonna be a lonely, lonely, lonely day. for the past two weeks since i got here, i've been busy with the daiiy reruns of boy meets world, gilmore girls (the first season wherein rory had long straight hair, wears little makeup, and dean was still her boyfriend), full house, csi, and a few episodes of disney channel shows like phil of the future, hannah montana, suite life of zack and cody, and that's so raven. i love it! especially full house and boy meets world. we never get those reruns back home! ah, the irony. i have recieved quite a few invites through text (yay for roaming) for parties and get togethers. where were those when i was bored during saturday nights when i wasn't here having tv show marathons almost everyday? is it because everyone who's not from dlsu and csb are having their sembreak as well? oh i dunno coz almost everyone i know are already finished with college. oh that reminds me, a year and a half to go before i fuckin graduate. actually, 3 semesters and a summer session to go before i fuckin graduate. no, actually, 3 semesters, a summer session, 6 months of review, and a friggin licensure exam to go before i can truly say i have fuckin graduated. yes, i'm in a bad mood. i haven't spoken in full coherent sentences since i woke up this morning. it's either pms or the fact that i haven't eaten breakfast yet because i don't feel like it. i want to just stay i bed all day. oh, i can actually do that!!! hahahaha
