The Fifth Marauder

i wanted the title of this entry to be actually just ... but i typed in the word dot thrice instead because wala lang i just want to. haha labo.

i seem to have gotten over my need to buy new books faster than i can read them. my cousin and i dropped by two powerbooks outlets earlier this evening and i find myself half-heartedly looking at the shelves, not picking up anything, when a few weeks before a trip to a bookstore whether it is powerbooks or booksale would be the highlight of a mall outing. maybe it's because i don't have that much money right now and i needed new jeans and chucks (because we don't have to wear our white uniforms anymore! whee!) or maybe it's because reading is the last thing i want to do when i get home after the review during weekends, or maybe i am usually too distracted by other things i can do here at home to read. although i am trying to read twilight right now, as i still need something to do when i am not watching tv or staring at the ceiling. hehe.

anyway, the good news is...

actually i have two good news-es (hehehe) one, we are finally done with the exit interview, and two, i am finally brace free after n years of wearing them! yipee!! i still have to wear retainers though, but i don't have them on in these photos because those things gave me speech defects and i can't bear to have a speech impairment while i am on my interview. haha on my first week on retainers i can't pronounce the letter r without people who could hear me mistaking it for the letter l and i have a lisp on the s words. haha. i am getting used to wearing them but my speech is still a bit impaired. oh well.

i made this collage thingie using ms powerpoint because i don't have photoshop on my laptop. i wanted to kill myself at the middle of making this thing because i can't make it look right and the stuff i can do with the pictures is very limited. hahaha.

the exit interview is required for all graduating students, i know even people from other schools have them, but ours must have been the only school that requires their students to answer questions related to some random concept that we ought to have learned in our previous subjects rather than the usual how was your stay in the school and what can you suggest to further improve the quality of education in this said school. or something like that anyway. in fairness to them though, we were given the topics to study about a week before the interview, but still there was too much stuff to remember and maybe if you are really really unlucky you might get asked a question on the concept that you didn't get to study. i had a bit of a blonde moment during my turn but luckily i think i got by with my awesome personality and people skills.or at least i hope so. hehe.

we have enormous amounts of free time as of the moment because we are already done with our hospital duties and lectures, but we do have to be in school on weekends (including sundays!) because that is the time our review is scheduled. our in-house reviewers are effing great, especially the fresh grads. i find them so great that it made me want to be a lecturer instead of working in a hospital. actually i haven't decided yet what kind of nurse i wanted to be. i was asked this question during my interview and i gave them a really flaky answer by saying that i haven't decided between the OR, ER, and ICU. so anyway, i wish i can put this free time into good use, but so far i have done nothing but watch movies, go online, and stare at the ceiling and the wall. hehe

well am off to stare at the wall some more. hahaha

March 5, 2008, Wednesday: The Moon and Mercury combine and this suggests a need for you to balance feelings being kept hidden toward a certain person and a need to make them aware of precisely how you feel, Cancer You have probably had your reasons for keeping quiet or finding the right time and place to make certain thoughts clear. Now you have an ideal time to do exactly that.

started off the holy week by feeling pissed off at the sun, at the CIs, at everything. holy monday althrough wednesday was a blur of hot jeepney rides, walking under the glaring sun while conveniently forgetting to put on sunblock (bad move, i know), early mornings, 3 hospitals, and a nursing school in macapagal. it was the longest three days of my life.

anyway, now that i have a proper weekend to look forward to (haven't had one since the in-house review started,

i give you my "summer" reading list. these are actually the books i own that i haven't read yet, the oldest one being christ the lord, i bought this around the year 2006 in an airport bookstore in chicago because i thought i was going to finish reading the book that was in my plane bag. well actually the zahir belongs to my cousin mariel but i am planning to "arbor" that book from her. the witching hour was an "arbor" as well from my other cousin, while interview with the vampire was bought in a discount bookstore for only 140 pesos. fragile things was an early christmas present from my other cousin, and all the palahniuk  books were purchased during a book shopping spree last christmas.

 i'm currently working on twilight and even if it is classified as a YA, i am having a hard time finishing it. maybe because nowadays, reading makes me sleepy. hehe. i promised myself that i am not going to buy a new book unless i finish about 3 or 4 in that stack.

been LSS-ing on beatles songs for the past two weeks, after watching the movie across the universe on dvd and because of the two-week beatles theme that american idol had.  

i am graduating in about a week and i still haven't got a dress to wear underneath my toga for the academic graduation. it seems too impractical to buy a new one because nobody's going to see it anyway because i will be wearing my toga over it like the whole time, but wala lang, i just want a dress because i don't have one. hehe. i actually found a skirt and top in my closet that i haven't worn to school yet, but i am still going to look for a dress. who knows? i might luck out with one that costs under 500 pesos. yeah right. hehe

good night everyone! happy long weekend! hope you're not dying of boredom like i am right now. hehe

i never made an entry about the wasakan night. wala lang. hehe. posted this pic in my blog even if i looked like crap, in loui's purple shirt that was too tight for me (hehe). loved faye's pose by the way. todo project ah! hehe

well i quoted a line from that urbandub song whose title is first of summer. this party officially kicked off party season. hehe well last year my party season started around this date, hence the once a week habit was formed and it extended until the end of 2007. my party scene has been pretty slow, probably because of the thousand and one errands we all had to run to prepare for the graduation and boards. am not having high hopes that the once a week habit will continue this summer because we are going to be busy busy busy. gosh i hope not. hehe.

anyway, i had fun with the aif guys as usual. i was planning on leaving at 12 because i had to be in the review class at 8 am the next day but i ended up staying until 6 am the next day. i missed the saturday morning session. and then it must be the effect of the red bull but drowsiness seemed to have deserted me saturday night until sunday morning. so i ended up missing  the sunday morning session. haha i know i should have stayed  and missed the saturday review altogether. hehe.

well off to watch stranger than fiction now.
