I love You Until Futher Notice

2010-02-06T23:29:00.000-08:00

This is not to ruin the idea of the coming Valentine's and all. And let me tell everybody as a sort of a disclaimer that this note has nothing to do with me. (Pauses. Looks to right part of the ceiling.) Well, yeah a little bit about me. And maybe for some years back. Or lifetimes back.

We always view love to be one the greatest things / feelings we ever had. (Here we go again.) Songs, poems, stories, movies... they all talk of that magical feeling we call love. We were drowned with tons of stories of it - of how love lifts us to the highest heaven, and how it conquers everything, and that yeah, at the end of it all, it always winsl, like a happy fairy tale, where maybe we are the prince or the princess.

Applying it to real life, however, paints a different story. When we look at our individual lives, we are so full of those little annoying things that we have kept in the recesses, the dungeons of our hearts that well, did not work out so right. Fancily, and with great arguments - maybe even some quotes from the Bible and all - we convince ourselves that hey, that's not love. That WAS not love. But what is? Is it the one you are now feeling? Is that person you are with today THE ONE? And do you love him/her? Or love the previous one lesser? Some will say "Yeah of course". But then, ten years from this day, the answer will be different. "Well, you know. we was (sic) like children during those years".

But what is love, really? And when do we really know it is there?

Love, says St. Bernard is nothing but GOD himself. Now, before you sign this out as another religious poetry, let me tell you that there is much thought into those words by St. Bernie. You see, Paul before him said that Faith, Hope, and Love remain. And the greatest is Love (I Cor. 13?). They are called theological virtues (I am sorry, this won't take long), and the only thing that remains (says St. Thomas) is love. Because hope turns to completion, and faith turns to knowledge. In heaven, the saints say, all we will do is love. Wow. Strong words.

But let us apply those words from the silvery tower to the hard ground of reality. What do we see? We see people hurting each other. We see broken lives, broken hearts, people crying and killing themselves for love. Love is supposed to be a noble thing. It is supposed to create a magical world. But what is wrong with what we are feeling?

As God cannot be defined - how I wish no one contests this because I will have to turn this into another philosophical debate - I will not also define love. I will only say what it is not. It is called definition by negation. Anyways, here goes nothing.

Love is not about our selves. Love is not about the hurt we had, nor the pain we experienced. Love is not about our tears or our fears. It is not about who is at fault "because it is not ours".

Love is not about the cute smile, or the eyes that shine like diamonds. It is not about the consolation you get nor the gift s/he can bring. Love is not about her sexy legs or shapely body or her smooth skin that is the envy of your whole campus. It is not about that.

There is much crying in love because when you love, you give out your heart and allow the person to hurt you in a masochistic sense. Sadness is prevalent in love because no one is left secure when one is in love. There is something that prevents you from being too happy because you know that nothing is forever. And yes, around the bend, there lies, maybe, one situation or one problem, or one sweeter smile, or one sexier legs, or one fancier car. Thing is, when one's security is founded on something that is not clear or strong, then love is gone in a flick of a hand.

Hence, when you think you are in love, think twice, or thrice maybe. And know that before you march to that great altar of your dreams in those white, fancy suits... be sure that what you are doing is on your head as well. Else, you will always look forward to those bends for some fancier things.

One professor of mine back in college told us that in order not to be untrue to our words, we should not say "I love you", much more add words like "forever" "for eternity" "till the deserts submerged into the sea"... because we cannot be sure about them. Rather, we should say, "I love you....until further notice". That makes it more true. Imagine yourself saying these words, or worse, being told these words. Maybe it will end before it even began.

Love indeed is such a mystery, that when I was holier and younger, I used to say that all that we feel right now are but imitations, tiny sparks of that great love in our hearts. In the end, we will realize that the only love in our soul is that love for God, Who is Love. When our soul becomes free from its body, it will only feel that hunger and thirst for that one who is the love of its essence. And like drops of water, it will end in the great oceans of love in the eternity of God. But, poof! We are not there. Yet (for the religious, I should add this). Hence, we move from day to day, year to year, falling in and out of this emotion.

Therefore, since we know that the odds of finding the one true love the very first moment that you fall in love, is greater than the odds of drawing four of a kind three times in a row (that's cruel!), we have to hold our horses. Hold our feelings, be rational. Because we are not sure. I remember my old friend telling me, when days become weeks, and weeks become months, and then years - 2 1/2 may be fine, I guess. :) , then you will know you are in love. But that is a pity for poetry, ain't it? Because we won't be able to experience the thrill of seeking that which is beyond rationality.

Know this. When you can love a person so much you actually desire that s/he ends up with someone who can take care of him/her even if it is not you, then that is love. Maybe that's a definition. I don't know.

Anyways, thanks for reading. And good luck on that love and the elusive ever after. Look to the person beside you (or the one you're in a relationship) right now. 99 to 1, s/he will not end up with you forever. It's a mathematical fact :)

When the Last Teardrop Falls - Blaque

2010-01-05T19:32:00.000-08:00

It's so hard to lose the one you love
To finally have to say goodbye
You try to be strong but the pain keeps holdin' on
And all that you can do is cry

Deep within your heart you know it's time to move on
When the fairy tale that you once knew is gone

When the last teardrop falls
I'll still be holdin' on to all of our memories
And all of what used to be
When the last teardrop falls
I will stand tall
And know that you're here with me in my heart
When the last teardrop falls

So now I'm alone and life keeps movin' on
But my destination, still unknown..
Will there be a time when I'll fall in love again?
When I was meant to walk these streets alone
If there was just one wish I could be granted here tonight
It would be to have you right back by my side

Now it's time for me to find my happiness again
And the emptiness from missin' you
Will never ever end.

='(

Love and Letting Go

2010-01-03T21:21:00.000-08:00

Anyone who has gone through the agony of losing someone he/she loves so much will still wish against all odds to have that love back again. But sometimes, a love lost is a love gone forever. No amount of hope can bring back to life a relationship that just died a natural death. Set yourself free, let your heart spreads its wings and fly. Remember, it may rain for 40 days and 40 nights, but still it will not rain forever. One day, the pouring will stop and there will be plenty of branches where you can find rest. One of these is where you will build your nest and start over again. It's never too late.

You may find love and lose it but, WHEN LOVE DIES, YOU NEVER DIE WITH IT. You cannot be a redeemer all your life. The best way to weigh a relationship is through the test of fire. You cannot be a loser with your mistake forever. We all fall and make wrong decisions, but our blunders are not meant to bury us deep in misery, but to teach us the valued lessons of life. Loving is always a learning process... with love we learn how to CARE AND SACRIFICE. We learn to SHARE AND REACH OUT. We learn to be UNSELFISH AND GIVE MORE THAN WE CAN. Then, when everything doesn't end well, we learn how it feels like to fall and get hurt.

But learning doesn't have to end there. After our fall, we strive to get back on our feet and move on. This is where we learn that LIFE DOESN'T END WHERE OUR HEARTACHES BEGIN. THERE'S NO FUTURE FOR A RELATIONSHIP OF LIES AND SELFISHNESS. It's true, there is life in love. But, there can still be life even after losing love. If you leave the past behind and let your heart heal, then you give yourself the chance to find yourself again. The success of a relationship lies not only in the beauty of its beginning, but in its consistency. Make a choice not on impulse but a decision based on a healthy balance of mind and heart.

Let us always remember that...HAPPINESS IS NOT A MATTER OF DESTINY BUT A MATTER OF CHOICE. There comes a time in our lives when we chance upon someone so nice and beautiful and we just find ourselves getting so intensely attracted to that person. This feeling soon becomes a part of our everyday lives and eventually consumes our thoughts and actions.
The sad part of it is when we begin to realize that this person feels nothing more for us than friendship. We start our desperate attempt to get noticed and be closer, but in the end, our efforts are still unrewarded and we end up being sorry for ourselves. YOU DON'T HAVE TO FORGET SOMEONE YOU LOVE. WHAT YOU NEED TO LEARN IS HOW TO ACCEPT THE VERDICT OF REALITY WITHOUT BEING BITTER OR SORRY FOR YOURSELF. YOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF GIVING THAT DEDICATION AND LOVE TO SOMEONE MORE DESERVING.

Don't let your heart run your life. Be sensible and let your mind speak for itself. Listen not only to your feelings but to reason as well. Always remember that if you lose someone today, it means that someone better is coming tomorrow. IF YOU LOSE LOVE, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU HAVE FAILED IN LOVE. CRY IF YOU HAVE TO, BUT MAKE SURE THAT TEARS WASH AWAY THE HURT AND THE BITTERNESS THAT THE PAST LEFT YOU WITH. LET GO OF YESTERDAY AND LOVE WILL FIND ITS WAY BACK TO YOU. And when it does, pray that it may be the love that will stay and last a lifetime. A woman on the rebound could easily fall for sweeping emotions and be made to falsely believe that she finally stumbled upon the right man...when what she just found is only someone to cover up for the love she lost. A man who makes a promise with words and not with actions may never live up to fulfill them.

IT'S TRUE THAT LOVE CAN WAIT FOREVER, BUT IT IS CRAZY TO STUBBORNLY HOPE FOR SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T EVEN CARE OR UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL. Love makes us see the things through rose-colored glasses. Most of the time, we fail to recognize the danger sign that light up along our way. This feeling you have nurtured for so long isn't healthy anymore. You must realize that you have to let go now before it consumes you and your sanity. There is always a time to think and stop. A time to be sensible and not to allow our hearts to rule over our heads. YOU DESERVE TO BE HAPPY NOT IN THE ARMS OF A MAN/WOMAN WHO KEEPS YOU WAITING BUT IN THE ARMS OF SOMEONE WHO WILL TAKE YOU NOW AND LOVE YOU FOREVER. If loving a person who is attached to someone else is a crime, then, maybe, many of us would have been jailed long before we realize what its consequences could have been. Loving someone is never a sin...it's what people do out of love that sometimes makes it all wrong. The selfish desire to want that person is what makes it a sin. DON'T THINK ONLY OF YOUR FEELINGS FOR REAL LOVE DOESN'T HAVE A PLACE FOR SELFISH PEOPLE. When there is love, there is always sacrifice. When we love someone, we never easily give up on that person. Even if we get hurt badly, we always try to find a way to ease the pain and learn to understand and forgive. Loving too much doesn't hurt...it is when we expect this love to be reciprocated that we begin to seek approval and acceptance of the things we have done and when we are taken for granted and rejected, we curse the very same love that we once freely and happily offered. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WAITING FOR SOMEONE WHO NEVER REALLY CARED ABOUT HOW YOU WOULD HAVE FELT. OPEN YOUR HEART AGAIN AND GIVE YOURSELF THE CHANCE TO FIND THE ONE WHO WOULD MAKE LOVING WORTH THE PAIN AND THE SACRIFICE. Just like anything else, our love grows weak and dies, if not taken cared of. It can keep up with pain only to a certain extent. Beyond that, it withers without any hope of recovery and soon dies.

GOD WAKES US IN THE MIDST OF A STORM TO TEACH US A LESSON. HE TAKES AWAY PEOPLE WE LOVE SO WE CAN LEARN TO VALUE LOVE ITSELF. HE MAKES US CRY SO HARD SO WE CAN SEE CLEARLY WHEN WE OPEN OUR EYES. HE MAKES US BITTER SO WE CAN REALIZE THAT THERE IS NO GENUINE HAPPINESS IF WE THINK ONLY OF OUR OWN NEEDS AND NOT OF OTHERS.

It is a resolution we make to ourselves. Acceptance is the key to a new beginning and time is the healer of all wounds. Even if the storm casts its fearful shadow, there will always be light after our darkness and loneliest moments. There is always hope for those who believe. There is always a chance for those who try.

LOSING SOMEONE WE LOVE MAY NOT BE A LOSS AT ALL BUT A BLESSING BECAUSE SOMEONE EVEN MORE DESERVING IS YET TO COME. There is nothing wrong in expressing our feelings to someone we love, but WE MUST ALWAYS BE SENSITIVE TO THE SIGNALS THAT TELL US WHEN TO RATIONALIZE AND BE SENSIBLE. There comes a time in our lives when we would fall for someone who wouldn't be as interested as we are because his/her attention is focused on someone else. There are many times when we love but don't get love in return. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE SIGN AHEAD SAYS STOP BUT WE STILL STUBBORNLY HEAD ON. We would say our love is unconditional...but if it really is, then we should never feel bad. But why do we get frustrated when love turns sour? Because we still subconsciously seek acceptance and assurance from the people we care about.

BEING IN LOVE CAN BE THE MOST WONDERFUL THING WE COULD EXPERIENCE BUT IF THE FEELING BEGINS TO CONSUME OUR WHOLE BEING, THEN WE HAVE TO STOP AND LET OUR MINDS AND NOT OUR HEARTS DICTATE OUR ACTIONS. ONLY WHEN WE LEARN TO ACCEPT OUR FATE AND UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF OUR FAILURES CAN WE TRULY GO ON WITH LIFE. WITHOUT HAVING TO LOOK BACK AND CRY OVER THE THINGS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN BUT WILL NEVER BE...

* Letting go is a tough decision I have to make.. I know it will take time and definitely it would be hard.. I believe God has a purpose in everything that occurs in our life, regardless of whether it is a good one or not. I just have to trust Him. It's about time I think of myself.. my life.. my happiness..

Forbidden Fruit - by Claire Barber

Where am I now my world is lost
And look at just what it has cost
A sleep is offered I fear to take
In knowing that I am to wake
Do not cry at the site of my tears
For it's releasing my pain and healing my fears
And when your back is turned you will not know
That the pain inside is sure to show
I know this feeling I must stop
But if I start to cry I'll never stop
And it must be done to carry on
The past is not to face it is what has gone.
Now I must be the fruit on the tree
He cannot touch but only see
The gate is open it is not closed
I am now free and not opposed
And when one day he tries to pick the fruit upon the tree
It will have died and gone away,
Forever forbidden to thee.

The long wait is over. At 9PM, 48 days after the board exam, the result has been released. click here. Out of 77,901 who took the exam, only 32,617 passed. That's roughly 41.87% of the national passing rate. And I'm blessed and thankful to say, I made it! :) *Kung alam nyo lng kung gano ako kabado sa result. My hands were shaking while I'm opening the site. Hindi pa ako nakatulog the night before. haha.*

Though I'm truly overwhelmed for this achievement, I can't taste the sweet nectar of victory, fully. For my cousin and some of my friends didn't made it on the list. -- I still believe in you guys. As I always say, this exam is not the only means to determine how a great nurse you will be. I know that God is constantly working in your lives, you may not notice it right now, but believe that God is arranging things in your favor. Just continue to believe and trust God's plan for you and never loose hope, never! :)

Life After Graduation

2009-07-21T15:50:00.000-07:00

My school life is over.

It has ended days even weeks earlier than my batch mates. Weeks before my graduation, I was busy arranging my cases for the June NLE. I don't attend grad rehearsals, school activities, workshops and the like. I need to have all te signatures needed for those cases before deadline and I was lacking time. Before, I was very hesitant to take the board on June. Most of my batchmates were discouraging me. Some said I will need more time to review and to fill in all those needed signatures, and it will be difficult for me since some of the chief nurses were on leave and the school would not be able to help us kasi konti lang daw kami and it will be time-consuming for them to help us. lol. (half-true, half-false. haha. FYI: The school really doesn't want us to take the June board. They prefer taking it on November. That's the real reason. haha.) Three days before the deadline, hindi pa ako tapos. Kat and I still need to look for a Clinical Instructor for our Lying-In cases, and CMH's chief nurse is still on leave. I was loosing hope. I told myself, "If it is God's will for me to take it on June, He would make it happen". And He did. Suprisingly, Dean Ritchie looked for a CI that will fit in our Lying-In cases' dates. She even asked Ma'am Len to go to Lucena to have our cases signed and the chief nurse of CMH texted us that we can go to Candelaria Quezon that day for her signature. (I didn't expect that our Dean would help us. Sya kasi ang may ayaw ng June) Galing noh. :)

So luckily, eight of us were able to make it on time and We were able to convice the Dean that we can make it. I remember her saying, "Sigurado ka na ba? I trust you anak. 80 and above ha". Hahaha. I just hope I made the right decision.

There's one more. Wala pa akong nahahanap na review center noon. I e-mailed Sultan Review Group (SRG) and they told me that the review in Manila already started. Wala pa silang other branch noon. So, I searched for Carl Balita, RA Gapuz, A1, RCAP and Pentagon on the net to see their scheds. March pa sila nagstart mag review, some eh nung January pa. Kamusta ka naman? My parents told me to decide kung san ako magrereview para makahanap na ng boarding house. Gusto nila sa malapit lang. lol. May malapit ba? Manila kaya lahat yun. O_o Sabi ko bahala na! ahahaha.

God is really good. I checked SRG's site again and luckily, nag open na sila ng bagong branch, and one is at Las Piñas. Jackpot! :) The following day, nag-enroll na agad ako. Oha! The review started on April 7. First day absent ako. (Blame PRC for that!) I was not able to take the diagnostic exam and attend the orientation as well. Buti nalang considerate yung staff ng SRG-LP and they told me to come to their office to just take the diagnostic exam at home once I'm through filing at PRC. (Thanks Ms. Abie!) So, the review goes on everyday with a day-off a week. So far, so good. SRG family became so dear to me. I've been with the outstanding lecturers and I met new friends from different schools. Being around with people sharing sleepless nights, sharing the same hardships and worries, sharing the same goal. It really feels different. It feels like.. "you belong". haha. I miss you SRG peeps.

After the two-month-long review comes the most awaited exam of my life, the Nursing Licensure Exam. To summarize how the exam goes..

Test 1: "Lord, thank you po."
Test 2: "Lord, HHELLLFFF!!!"
Test 3: "Lord, salamat."
Test 4: "Lord, thank you ulit."
Test 5: "Lord, tulong!!! dinudugo akoo!!!!" ahahaha.
--I hope you know what I mean.

I already have plans after the board exam.
PLAN A: to look for a hospital that hired underboard nurses.
-- Somehow impossible because, most of the NAs and volunteers are already RNs. emf!
PLAN B: ask my Lola, para ipasok ako sa CDH.. kahit as volunteer :p
-- Apparently, walang vacant na slot as told by Tito Jimbo, a radiologist at the the said hospital.
PLAN C: to ask my mom's client na ipasok ako sa St. James Hospital at Sta. Rosa.
-- They only accept volunteers. huhu.
PLAN D: to look for a part-time job like call center, medical transcriptionist and the like.
-- May mga companies naman na hiring. Problem is, my parents don't want me to work. Malayo daw kasi. lol. EERRR!
PLAN E: wait for the NLE result.

After all the plans I have on mind. Guess what. I ended up, stucked at home, nursing the dogs, doing papers works, house choirs and typing jobs. So it has been 107 days after my Clinical Graduation, 96 days after the Academic Grad., 48 days after the NLE review, 44 days after the Nursing Board Exam and roughly 5 days before the release of NLE results, still.. I AM JOBLESS.

kulitan moments..

Mt. Manabo experience

2008-09-06T21:35:00.000-07:00

Instead of having a written exam on JPR, our prof decided to just have an activity, Tree Planting at Mt. Manabo.

Medyo umulan nung pumunta kami doon. So, what do you expect? Syempre madulas! hahahaha. Kaya sobrang hirap umakyat. It took us almost 2 hours to reach the top. amp. Puro putik na nga ako. Si Borj nga nagpapalpitate na, ako tuhod ko nanginginig na.. Puro kami stop over.. haha. Buti nalang walang nagka fracture samin, and the boys are with us, kaya laging may humihila sa amin pataas. haha. thanks guys!

After reaching the top, kumain kami.. as in todo kain! Piangluto kami ni Borj ng adobo at si azai ang daming dalang pagkain.. yummy! So, after namin kumain, nagtanim na kami at nag picture taking. Nung pababa na, we decided to join the campers.. (hindi kasi namin alam ang daan) gusto namin daanan ang groto. Sobrang daming bloopers ang nangyari. Ilang beses kaming nadulas ni Arte. Ouchh. And everytime na madudulas kami, si Borj tuwang tuwa. haha. It was really an unforgettable experience. kahit sobrang sakit na ng papa at buong katawan ko, na hindi ko akalaing mkakababa pa ako. Oh anyway, It's worth it.

love.

Actually I got pissed when I heard the news na may duty pla kami this week. oh, hell. At nalaman ko lang yun 2 days before mag duty sa BRH. I really have no idea kung saang area kami. At dahil nga wala akong idea.. di ako nagdala ng scrub suit! then nalaman ko nalng from a group mate na OR pala kami.. errr.. Good thing Azai was kind enough to lend me hers. I love you donya!

So there..

We handled 5 cases..
Bloody-messy-shocking major cases and some clean-suture-churva minor ones at minsan observe lang. lol. May kasabay kaming school kaya unahan. Oh well, in summary, "masakit sa paa mag OR nurse!". haha.

Anyway, from that exposure, lalo ko tuloy gustong mag tuloy sa medicine.. surgeon? nah. Well, since birth naman that's my ultimate dream na. Me, a cardiologist? a pediatrician? a neurologist? or an OB? haha. Who knows. =) well frist goal ko is to graduate in nursing, to pass the board exam, then tsaka na ako magdedecide which field ako mag fo-focus. Mag work nalang kaya agad ako? hmm.. haha. Excited! Next week I'll be in Manila na pala ulit. Should I plan a gathering for the clan? or should I spend my time nalang with my honey and paperworks. haha. (Why choose when I can have both! emf. lol.) I'm so bangag na talaga. Time to sleep. Just got home from Batangas eh. Soo tired. gudnytie!~

a day full of CRAP

2008-04-05T17:53:00.000-07:00

This day was like errrr..

It's raining hard and I'm wearing my all-white-uniform. great. amf.

Heavy traffic early in the morning... an hour and a half from our house to my school?!

The panelist were late. We started defending at 3pm, dapat 8am pa noh. kamusta ka naman?

We waited for 7 hours. Then less than 10mins lang kami nagdefend.

We were asked na pakainin ang panelist. or else, rejected lahat ng thesis namin.

I left my payong sa school. wala na akong payong!

Im dead HUNGRY. Nawala ako sa mood mag lunch. pft.

He went to MOA without ME. Kala ko ba di ka pupunta kapag di ako kasama? whatever!

Walang signal ang SunCel. Ang hirap tumawag. darn it.

He keeps on nagging at me. hell.

Now he's mad..
Now he doesn't care..

This is really a f*%#! $#!t day.
I hope these wont happen again.
EVER!

2008-04-04T16:22:00.000-07:00

so updates muna.. tayo.. :)

TODAY

Ive been busy the past few weeks.. or should I say months? Why? Sori naman.. uber busy ang lola nyo.. kina-career ang pagiging nurse plus busy sa love life. (oh yeah, may ganung factor!) =p.. Nursing really is not a easy-go-lucky-come-what-may course. Bunch of paper works, case studies, case presentations, ret-dems, drug studies, NCPs, major exams, thesis, outlines at syempre lots of CASH. I must say, junior ako eh (Manil Affiliation pa lang + dorm). Ano pa kayang senior na ko after summer. OMG.. as in gollyness.. haha. And oh, going back to the paper works, ide-defend namin ang thesis proposal namin tomorrow. Question. What for? May grades na kaya ako sa Research.. nakapag-enroll na nga ko for summer. hahaha. patawa talaga ang school.. Naghahabol tuloy kami. Bwiset! Bakasyon ko dapat noh. hays.. Bakit ba ako nagrereklamo. wala naman akong magagawa. churva naman! *sigh*

DADI slash HONEY slash Matthew

I love him so much. Kahit lagi kaming nag-aaway. haha. And good thing my mom loves him too. Kaya wala kami masyadong problema. He regularly visits me every Saturday. oha-oha! Sweet and touchy.

Nakakaguilty tuloy :( (okay lang yun dadi, madami ka namang kiss and hug from your baby di bah? =p) hahaha. i love you dadi.. I soo do. Kahit ginagawa mo akong patabaing baboy! lol. =x

LOTUS CLAN slash Perfect World slash Online games

Super inactive na ako sa game (no wonder why Ecchi kicked me. haha). Madami nang new members at madami na din ang umalis. And I must say, di na talaga ako updated about the clan. Hindi na rin ako nkakakapunta sa mga EBs. Di ko masakyan mga jokes nila, (even the green ones) Di ko na rin masakyan when they call names. I dont even know the reason why some of my friends left. Minsan pag nagoonline ako, napaka tahimik ng clan. No one to answer your questions, no one to help you around. Ang sad noh?! Tapos si chong lumipat pa *slaps Myk*. Maybe Im really not into PW anymore. Even Matt, tinatamad na din daw siya. We were thinking to play another MMORPG game. Yun nga lang. what game? haha. Wala kaming makita. Kung meron man, di pa available sa Pilipinas. hehe. Siguro pahinga muna kami. Busy sya sa work at busy din ako sa duty. No time for the virtual world. Oo nga pala, may event tomorrow sa Mall of Asia, Dynasty war churva. haha. Unfortunately, I can't come. Sorry mates. Next time nalang. I mishuu guys. :(

For those who wanna come...
VENUE: Mall of Asia, gaming grounds churva. (I dunno the exact place. ask Drew nalang. haha.)
WHEN: 5 April 2008, 10am onwards

T_T Oh well, at 11am, were only five then!! kamusta nman yun.. and Myke aka Syuveil was really hungry, so we went off to KFC and take note, nilibre nya ko =) ahihihi.. (thanks chong!!) Anyway, one of the early birds is nicole, i really thought he was a girl.. haha.. he was really quiet but sensible kausap. He left drew with a key chain with a note on it. Na-inggit si Syuveil hahahaha!!!

Moving on, we, the girls in pink (Myomi, Kanne and I), went to Mister D to have some doughnuts.. (anung petsa na kasi at wala pa ang iba!! rawrr). Wala lang nangulit nang nangulit lang kami dun.. haha.. Ngayon ko lang nalaman.. na pagdating sa "boys" Kanne and Marj are experts.. do the move marj!! hahaha. peace girls..

What’s this I’m feeling?!
Something unexplainable…
My heart keeps on stomping,
But still indescribable.

Every time I see your face,
Your smile lingers on my mind.
What is this kind of phase?
That I’m trying to find…

I want to be your damsel,
That will love you in this endless story…
Cause your voice seems to be an angel,
Who sings in this silent sanctuary.

I love you and I know it’s true,
Do you love me, the way I do?!
But friendship keeps on holding on…
And dreams slowly turned into unknown.

I’m just a friend of yours,
And in my teary eyes, you let it show.
How I wish I can end this sorrow,
And emphasize these emotions that in my heart flows.

my new baby ^_^

The institute also trains medical and health workers in order to be further educated in their fields in relation to the management of tropical infectious diseases. Formulation of plans and research projects involving biological products proposed and currently utilized by the Philippine Department of Health are also covered by the functions of the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine, including the manufacture of biologic products and vaccines.

Lotus CLan

haaysss.. mula nung nagkagulo.. naghiwalay na talaga ang clan.. good thing we still count them as friends.. and not enemies.. although may konting conflict sa ibang members.. well atleast nandun pa din ang samahan.. Damn.. i miss the old Lotus.. :(

It doesn't mean that I dont like the Lotus Clan today.. its just different, so different..

I really cant understand some members in the clan.. honestly, sometimes.. nakikisama nalang tlaga ako.. i must accept the fact na iba-iba talaga ang mga tao.. but then.. mahirap din mag-adjust noh.. especially if it's beyond your limits already..

I'm planning to resign as major of the clan.. Most of the time I feel useless.. How can I help the clan if I cant help myself.. *sigh* I just hope everything will be fine na.. we need cooperation badly.. for the incomming TW.. crap. :(

Syuveil, get well soon.. we miss you already..

Never Be Replaced

Baby I love you and I'll never let you go
But if I have to boy I think that you should know
All the love we made can never be erased
And I promise you that you will never be replaced

I love you, yes I do
I'll be with you as long as you want me to
Until the end of time

From the day I met you I knew we'd be together
And now I know I wanna be with you forever
I wanna marry you, and I wanna have your kids
It can never compare to the feeling of your kisses

I can say I'm truly happy to this day
You make me thank God that I live my life everyday
There's never been a doubt, in my mind
That I regret ever having you by my side

But if the day comes that I have to let you go
I think there's something I should probably let you know
Enjoyed everyday, that I spend with you
And I wont miss you cause I'm happy that I have you at all

Baby I love you and I'll never let you go
But if I have to boy I think that you should know
All the love we made can never be erased
And I promise you that you will never be replaced

I love you, yes I do
I'll be with you as long as you want me to
Until the end of time

=x

Hey, lady, how’s life been movin’ on?
I can’t deny it, now you are gone
This is the first time
Can I make it through?
Without you now, do the things I used to do

It’s getting harder to ease the pain
The feeling changes, love still remains
I don’t know how if I can get this right
Maybe given time
I’ll make the most of what I’ve got

Is this the price we pay
With all the victories we shared
Faithfully, we’ve got a reason to go on
I know it’s good to be true
Just spend the nights with you
Let me tell you that our love can make it through

Hold on, lady hold on
We’ve got to go on now
This feeling so strong
Hold on, lady hold on
It’s a burning desire
Comin’ right down the wire

Sweet talking it’s all in the line
There’s no turning back
Unless you make up your mind
The expectations after all of these years
Risin’ to the moment let’s forget all our fears

Is this the love we have
With all the glories we shared
Faithfully, we’ve got a reason to go on
I know it’s good to be true
Just spend the nights with you
Let me tell you that our love can make it through

Hold on, lady hold on
We’ve got to go on now
This feeling so strong
Hold on, lady hold on
It’s a burning desire
Comin’ right down the wire

And when the night is over
Well, no one can deny it
You got to believe in
We couldn’t ask for more
Than to hold each other tight
It’s just we’ll never take things for granted

enrollment ek-ek!

what my name means.

2007-04-14T15:07:00.000-07:00

You entered: Joanna Michell Faustino Alcasid

There are 28 letters in your name.
Those 28 letters total to 109.
There are 12 vowels and 16 consonants in your name.

What your first name means:

Latin : God is gracious. Feminine form of John (from the Latin Johanna).
Hebrew : Gift from God.
French : God's gift.
English : Variant of Joan. Feminine of John.
Biblical : Grace or gift of the Lord

Your number is: 1
The characteristics of #1 are:
Initiating action, pioneering, leading, independent, attaining, individual.

The expression or destiny for #1:
A number 1 Expression denotes the skilled executive with keen administrative capabilities. You must develop the capacity to be a fine leader, sales executive, or promoter. You have the tools to become an original person with a creative approach to problem solving, and a penchant for initiating action. Someone may have to follow behind you to handle the details, but you know how to get things going and make things happen. You have a good mind and the ability to use it for your advancement. Because of these factors, you have much potential for achievement and financial rewards. Frequently, this expression belongs to one running a business or striving to achieve a level of accomplishment on ones talents and efforts. You have little need for much supervision, preferring to act on your own with little restraint. You are both ambitious and determined. Self-confident and self-reliant must be yours, as you develop a strong unyielding will and the courage of your convictions.

Although you fear loneliness, you want to be left alone. You fear routine and being in a rut. You often jump the gun because you are afraid of being left behind.

The negative attributes of the 1 Expression are egotism and a self-centered approach to life. This is an aggressive number and if it is over-emphasized it is very hard to live with. You do not have to be overly aggressive to fulfill your destiny. The 1 has a natural instinct to dominate and to be the boss; adhering to the concept of being number One. Again, you do not have to dominate and destroy in order to lead and manage.

Your Soul Urge number is: 7
A Soul Urge number of 7 means:
With a number 7 Soul Urge you are very fond of reading, and retreating to periods of being alone and away from the disruptions of the outer world. You like to dream and develop you idealistic understandings, to study and analyze, to gain knowledge and wisdom. You may be too laid back and withdrawn to really succeed in the business world, and you will be much more comfortable in circumstances that are tolerant of your reserve, your analytical approach, and your desire to use your mind rather than your physical being.

You are very timid around people that you don't know very well, so much so at times that casual conversation and social situations can be strained. You tend to repress your emotions to the extend that some people have a good bit of difficult understanding you. You tend to be very selective with friends and you don't easily adapt to new environments or to new people very quickly.

The negative traits of the 7 include becoming too much the introvert and isolated from others.

Your Inner Dream number is: 3
An Inner Dream number of 3 means:
You dream of artistic expression; writing, painting, music. You would seek to more freely express your inner feeling and obtain more enjoyment from life. You also dream of being more popular, likable, and appreciated.

26. hiding your relationship from someone else >> crap. two-timer?! shocks!
27. controlling your feelings to avoid hurting a friend
28. choosing between two persons whom you really love
29. finding out that you can never have the person you just let go of
30. seeing the person you love with someone else... >> it depends =Þ

it started with a dream. a woman crying, sad and alone. never thought that ill be dreaming of her.. but im glad i did. i reached out.. and talked to her.. without thinking what she might say. she may get mad or get irritated, but i dont care. i just want her to know that im still here.. willing to listen.. willing to give company.. and at last.. mejo settled na at naaus na ang gap between me and ate anne. almost 5 months din kaming di nag-usap. gosh. i so so miss her na. she didnt change a bit. uber kulit pa rin nya.. well.. atleast.. oki na kami kahit papaano.. and i know reyds will be hapi pag naging ok na kami tlga.. i just hope and pray that she'll be strong enough to handle whatever quandaries she has right now..

its the 30th of March nga pla..

"Memory is the mother of all wisdom.. " - aeschylus

2007-03-14T16:43:00.001-07:00

* hehe. eto speech ko. pagpasenxahan nyo na XD *

IMPROVING MEMORY

Test success often relies on a good memory. Success in college courses requires that you master the material of the course and that you remember what you have learned when you take exams. Many students feel that their academic problems stem not from a failure to learn the course material but rather from a failure to retain it. You have probably had the experience of knowing something "cold" the night before an important exam, then having your mind go blank during the test. But your memory can be improved.

If you review research on memory and learning, you will find that there exists a vast amount of information on the subject. But in learning to become more personally and academically effective, you are probably most interested in seeing how this knowledge can be put into practice. In other words, how can it help you improve your memory? Thus, we focus on memory techniques and strategies.

First is the imagination. It is what you use to create and strengthen the associations needed to create effective mnemonics. Make a picture in your mind's eye. The more strongly you imagine and visualize a situation, the more effectively it will stick in your mind for later recall. The imagery you use in your mnemonics can be as violent, vivid, or sensual as you like, as long as it helps you to remember.

Second is association. This is the method by which you link a thing to be remembered to a way of remembering it. You can create associations by linking them using the same color, smell, shape, feeling or sound. (pag nag ttake down notes kami ni kevs.. nagddrawing kami! may mga bahay-bahay.. hahahaha )

Third is recitation and repetition. Use it before you lose it. To remember something, access it a lot: read it, write it, speak it, listen to it, and apply it. Find ways to make contact with the material regularly. Study groups are especially effective because they allow you to teach the material. Explaining it to other students helps you focus your attention.

Fourth is the use of acronyms. This is a well-loved way for memorizing lists. The mind's eye recalls short blocks of capital. Like the use of ROY G. BIV for the seven colors of the rainbow. :)

Fifth is writing it down. Our muscles have better memories than our heads. Note-taking is a muscle activity. That is why the act of taking notes -- even if you never look at them again -- will get you higher marks on a test than just listening. (gawain ko toh! kya ayan. ubus mga papel. =Þ )

Sixth is singing. Make up a tune for the information, or sing the words you need to remember to music you know and love. Creating a jingle or a tune of what you'll memorize is an example. If it rhymes, better. (di ba mas madali nating nasasaulo mga commercials.. lalo na pag kinakanta. haha :D )

Finally, be aware of attitudes. If you believe a subject is difficult or boring, it probably will be. We often only remember what we find interesting. Put in mind that everything is related to everything else. Look for connections.

Eating foods that are rich in fiber and nutrients can also help. Psychologically, red foods memory like strawberries and watermelon ease depression, promoting a positive attitude, which aids memory. Good oils, such as olive and flax, also appear to buffer our brain. This includes nuts and chocolates. (yey! i love sweets! <3 ) Remember, you never forget. Adopt an attitude that says, "I never forget anything, although I may have difficulty recalling something from my memory. All I have to do is find where I stored it." Positive thinking works! (geh! go lang nang go! haha.) Good memory is made, not born. Memory works like a bank. What you deposit is what you withdraw, and only you have the power to deposit what you want in your memory.
