The Fifth Marauder

i woke up with a hoarse-sounding voice and had difficulty of breathing. but i felt happy and relaxed, remembering about yesterday's "pagluwas" at the north side. until i remembered that i had a lot of crap to do for school. hay.

sa uulitin guys! i haven't laughed that hard in weeks! a few hours ko lang kayo nakasama, and yet namaos ako at hininka! haha well i think the mini asthma attack this morning was due to the fact that i have been eating junk all day yesterday. the only real meal i had for the day was when we ate at chef donatello.

anyway, gotta go back to work now. hay sana sunday next week na ngayon para tapos na to lahat

hay pagod na ko mag review. faye just texted me, may gig daw ang urbandub sa al's bar, na madaling puntahan from here. as in kahit wala akong ride, makakauwi ako! early kasi ng psychiatric nursing test tom eh! kainis. so malamang hindi ako makakapunta.

may super laki akong pimple sa chin. as in malaki siya, at nung isang araw ko pa siya pinapatay, pero ayaw! malakas ang resistensiya! haha. nakakainis tuloy tumingin sa salamin ngayon.

ang haba pa ng aaralin ko. mga 1 ako nakauwi dito sa bahay, pero kasi nag nap ako at tumunganga muna eh kaya ayan anong petsa na hindi pa ko nakakapagsimula. sana sunday na ngayon para ibig sabihin tapos na ang midterms.

kailangan ko ng bagong loose/pressed powder at concealer. kikay shopping spree na ito! hahaha 

yay i'm finally done with my midterm exams! didn't celebrate that much though, because girlie cancelled all her birthday plans and moved them to next saturday. we were totally depending on those said plans for our post-exam celebration, but it's ok i don't mind. it's just that it's been a long time since i have had alcohol... i don't really miss it that much, ever since we were forced to go cold turkey from our once a week habit because of exams and requirements and other school crap, but still i wanted to celebrate the end of a horrible week.

i think i totally bombed on all of my exams. it's because of those damn requirements due the same day as the exams. but i would have to admit laziness played a huge part.

but i'm putting all that behind me now. i hope i at least get to catch up on my reading for the meantime. the copy of veronika decides to die i bought months ago has been gathering dust on my bookshelf, along with my other nursing books that i am too lazy to browse through. i bought that book because of tanya's (a batchmate in nursing) recommendation before the semester started. she has read the book herself and she told me that it's a nice intro for psychiatric nursing, which we were about to take up at that time. now i am about 2-3 months away from finishing (and hopefully passing) psych nursing and i haven't even read half of the book's total number of pages. reading it will not be a waste of time though, as i still have the board exams to look forward to. hehe.

we found out before our exam that he was one of the top scorers in our other exam the day before. i was so happy for him that i felt like i got a high score too. it's just that he was whining before that said exam that he was not finished with the requirements yet and that he has no time to study anymore, blah blah. i replied with "kaya mo yan! ikaw pa!" wala lang. he's really one smart kid. he just needs constant reassurance hehe. i think i will be really really sad when he finally gets himself a girl or whatever because that means i don't get to reassure him anymore. haha.

anyway, i gotta go start reading veronika. again. i hope i get to finish the book this time.  

guess who has a new laptop? just don't ask what kind it is. it's brand new, but i bought it on sale. haha. it was kind of an impulsive purchase. i know i know, impulsive purchases can only be acceptable when the said purchases are clothes or shoes, but the laptop looked nice and it was branded too.
anyway, the important thing is i can now retire my old one. if only i could just make the wireless thing work with the router. i'm too lazy to research for it, the same with installing crap in my computer. it's just that it's already late when i get home and i'm usually too tired to do anything else but crash in front of the tv and eventually fall asleep after black hole high on disney.

i have a headache right now. i think it must be because of all the junk i ate today (yakisoba for breakfast, sbarro half ziti with tomato sauce plus half a white pizza for lunch, 2 quek-queks and a huge bottle of c2 lemon for merienda, and spare ribs, ginataang gulay, marshmallows, and kisses for dinner. argh). so after this entry i will just be taking a biogesic and go to bed with chuck palahniuk's lullabye. my cousin just borrowed it from the school library so i can't really take my sweet time in reading it.

i finally did it! after about a week and a half of not researching for it, i was finally able to make my new laptop's wlan with the router! i can now go online wirelessly! i won't be confined inside shari's room (because that's where the router is hehe) whenever i wanted to use the internet! pardon the exclamation points, it's just i have been trying for days and the com sci powers finally kicked in. well sort of. if there's anything i've learned today, it's that all the answer's to life's questions can be found on google.com, you just have to know the right way to ask a certain question. hehe.

we had our last duty for the semester last night at the south super highway medical center. maam rhea promised us that we only have to go through an hour of duty inside the ER and then she's going to send us home. we just came back from our break, and we were still reeking of barbecue smoke (by the way, the barbecue-han near the hospital has one of the best barbecues i've ever tasted, that was all that we ate in the two weeks we were assigned in ssh, so yes it's that good! hehe) when suddenly the ER doors burst open and in came some of the orderlys pushing a woman in labor in a gurney with her child's feet and calves sticking out of her vagina. since it was obviously an emergency situation, i didn't come inside the minor OR. every staff nurse in the ER and the resident doctors on duty were all moving in fast forward and i wouldn't want to be in the way. besides, it was only my 5th day in that hospital so even if they asked me to go get the instruments or whatever they needed for the immediate delivery, i would be asking the staff nurses where i could find those said instruments anyway.

so anyway, the feet shouldn't be sticking out of the mother's vagina anyway. in cases like these, a cesarian section is always recommended. but i think the mother and her husband were either misinformed, too poor to afford a C-section, or were too stubborn because they opted for a normal delivery by a manghihilot (not a licensed OB, not even a midwife) at the comfort of their own home. the baby died. he already turned blue when he was finally delivered. it was so sad. we were usually a noisy bunch, but nobody could talk as we were watching one of our groupmates and a staff nurse clean the blood off the baby. sir matt had to baptize the baby himself, and my groupmate sef and i became ninangs. well we didn't do much, we just made the sign of the cross on the baby's forehead. it was my first time to touch a dead body, and i was scared at first. the baby's skin was already cold, but it wasn't stiff yet.

a nice parting gift for us and maam rhea and sir matt (our clinical instructors) huh?

anyway we have a month's rest from duty. i think i'm going to miss it. not that going to POC or NCMH was such a joyride, but i prefer hospital duties to lectures.

oh well. i gotta go read my psych nursing notes. we have an extra long test tomorrow. blech.  

i think the title best explains it all. hay.

hindi na ko natutuwa sa inaasal ko.

 

ang ngiting may laman. bow. haha. but it was a happy day feeling ko, in the next few days, magiging bad trip ako. laging may may kapalit di ba?
