okay. so ayoko munang magpaka-pormal sa aking layunin na iparating sas buong world wide web ang aking mga hinanakit at sama ng loob...

joke...

di nga serious di ba?

eto kc yun

*flashback

nag simula ang araw na ito sa pagkagising kong lumalangoy sa aking sariling pawis. ang init dito sa dorm! parang ang lagkit ng feeling. katatapos ko lang maligo eh pawisan na agad... so mga 5:30 yun. pumunta akong school para makasama sa praktis sa intermission number na gagawin ng block for the symposium later this day...

wala. wala akong naabutan. wait. ectually (with a long e), meron. iilang miyembro ng block 14 na nakaupo sa kani-kanilang mga silya. okay. so wala pa sila...

pag dating ng key people (like JOAN, JOAN, JOAN... go JOAN! ang galeeeeeeng) ay nagsimula agad ang praktis...

do do, do do do do... wait. may mali. ano ba? ang ingay!

mejo ayokong mag comment sa bandang dito kasi may masisira ako. pero kainis talaga!

halata naman siguro ng iba na medyo irritable ako today. pero may reason naman ako at napansin yun ng iba without me pointing it out to them. ang dami kaya!

kasi po, pag feeling natin magaling tayo, panindigan natin at sana in the process, wag tayong manapak/mansapaw ng iba... magpasalamat na lang tayo na nasali pa tayo... ang bait kasi ng mundo...

*fast forward

walang kom! yesssss! walang amante blues!

so papunta na kaming osa para i-showcase ang galing ng aming block when all of a sudden, nawawala si alvin! hmmmmmmm... lagi naman eh, pero hullo! bahagi kaya siya ng class...

ang misteryo ni alvin betoya...

after that, foodtrip sa our... turon and poplolli to the max! oh my, baka masira ngipin ko nito...

ang nice ng start ng symposium... inspiring, esp. yung neonatal ek ek... ano ba. i feel like i sound really dumb right now. but i think it's nice to be a doctor. miracles happen. and you make them! bwavo!!!

dumating na ang debut ng block. eh. nag-flop. sori joan... bongga pa rin tayo!

sa wakas dumating na si paqy!!! yesssss...

my mom visited me today. haha. i miss home. i miss pisay. i miss grass and blue skies... oh no...

gusto ko nang umuwi!!! at di na bumalik pa. no, scratch that... basta...

so my mom and i hung out ( if you can call eating dinner "hanging out")... and news about home and stuff reached me... and more money and food for me! yessssss!

so mainit na ang lap ko sa kakakandong ng laptop ko...

ouch...

I can't friggin' sleep! Aside from the glare from my roommate's lamp, there's this stupid song stuck in my head. I remember Rapunzel from the Offbeats...

Last week, Kara Tula (?) sang to us. It was their idea of a super fun RTR. It didn't make any sense, and now I can't get it out of my system...

"Nanananananana edukasyon...
Nanananana komersalisasyon"

Yup. Those were the only two words I can understand.

I'm super hungry right now. But I don't want to eat because (1) it's late, (2) I don't wanna brush my teeth again, (3) I don't want to get up, and (4) I just don't feel like it...

Hmm...

Yay. Quote for yesterday: "If you have to lie, keep it simple."

Now what do I have to do to appease this stomach of mine? Sleep? I can't!

So...

I know I don't make sense right now. Doi. it's 1:57 in the morning...

Stupid Philo. Why was it invented, anyway? It IS a product of boredom. Ugh. Curses.

Charmed. I miss Charmed. And the most stupid thing is that I haven't seen the last episode... i can still remember parts of the first, though.

"Hear now the words of the witches, the secrets we hid at night. When dark was our destiny's pathway, that now we bring into the light...."

Yes. That's it. I'll cast a spell to make me sleep. Now how to do it... Hmmm... If only I could cast a spell to make a particular omeone shut up during Philo class.

*Yawn.

I'm sleepy... Ooh, I'm seeing Z's...

(Daniel, di ko matiis. Kailangan kong gawin to...)

I'm dead tired. Yes. Tinoxic ko yung Histo quiz. Blame the Insurrectos. Blame Munson and his vaccinators. Blame Freer (go Dean) and his Government Labs. I never should have done that. To punish myself is the worst sin I can do. Well. Not really. But it's one of the many things I don't want to do.

*Flashback...

Wednesday came. Immediately after IPC we went to Calderon Hall to hold a review session for an impending QUIZ SHOW for History 5. "Public Health Under the Military and Commission For of Government"--go to hell.

I was so pressured to study because most of my groupmates already memorized even the most minute details like the old name of Recto (Azcarraga if you want to know). I wanted to do good because the perfomance of the group depended on how we do during the hated quiz. I didn't want to let my groupmates down so I dedicated my night for one subject. I even submitted a very haphazardly done paper for Kom (all of them are anyway).

So we won anyway. We had Donuts. Can I say that all I've done was for naught? I don't know. Dapat di ko siya tinoxic! The quiz was easy enough. I'm not blaming the first group or anything. I think I'm just bitter. Peace!

My lack of sleep (well, I slept at 4 but it still feels that I haven't slept at all) sat off a chain of events that pissed me off. Greatly so.

I had a runny nose. I had a sore throat. I was generally feeling under the weather. To top things off, we have to do a paper for Kom. It's due tomorrow but I still haven't started. Tas di pa natuloy yung free cut namin sa Kom kanina.

A friend said we had "touch me not" faces when we entered for the next class. Yes, the dreaded Philo 1 by Mr. Lumberto Mendoza. But in my mind I had a general picture of our proceedings for the day. As was expected, one group kept blabbing about whatsits and I didn't give a damn. I wasn't feeling well, remember?

Anyway, I think some were really feeling left out of the discussion (duh) so one asked for the SPEAKERS to speak lodly for evryone to hear. That was fixed up.

But then when their discussion beacme really heated, one of the SPEAKERS SHUSHED the rest of the class. That really hit a nerve and it wasn't just mine. Some were pissed off. I meant, the nerve of that person to shush us up when he was the one speaking at the top of his lungs. I think he ran out of things to say that's why he had to blame the public for that. He was already that insensitive to monopolize the dicussion, tas manggagalit pa siya! Argh!

Sana naman maramdaman niya na nakakainis na siya. Akala niya, por que okay siya sa maraming tao okay siya sa lahat. Hullo! Di kaya... Andami niya nang tinatapakan.

Kaulugot na gid siya. Kanami na sa iya hambalon sang tanan niya nga law-ay nga gina-ubra sa iban. Tas pito kami ka tuig nga mag updanay. Matyag ko pila ka adlaw makaaway ko gid siya.

Wow. I just blabbed in three languages. I hope he really does adjust, for everyone's sakes. If not, a confrontaton might be in store for the near future...

I have got to finish my Kom paper....

Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Arthropoda

Class: Insecta

Order: Hemiptera

Suborder: Homoptera

Superfamily: Aphidoidea


Aphids, also known as greenfly/blackfly or plant lice, are minute plant-feeding insects in the superfamily Aphidoidea in the homopterous division of the order Hemiptera.

About 4,000 species of aphids are known, classified in 10 families; of these, around 250 species are serious pests for agriculture and forestry as well as an annoyance for gardeners. They vary in size from 1-10 mm long.

Important natural enemies include the predatory ladybugs (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), hoverfly larvae (Diptera: Syrphidae), and lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae), and entomopathogenic fungi like Lecanicillium lecanii and the Entomophthorales.

Aphids are distributed world-wide, but they are most common in temperate zones. It is possible for aphids to migrate great distances depending on the weather patterns (mainly passive dispersal riding on winds); for example, the lettuce aphid spreading from New Zealand to Tasmania. They have also been spread by humans transporting infested plant material.

Ho hum. I just finished eating lunch. Yes. A very late lunch. Because I woke up late! Why?

*shimmer

Okay. I think many of us will blog about Lady Med but I'm going to do it anyway.

It's was a very fun Friday night. Finally, a break from listening to the beats of Malate (from my dorm, not actually on the streets) and the dull life of staying in the dorm doing nada. I was hungry, I was tired but the wait was worth it. Not to mention all the practice sessions.

Just imagine a roomful of screaming doctors...

Sadly, we didn't bag any awards. But I know we gave it our best. I will miss Cy's condo... The view, the singing, the laughing, the dancing, the elevators.

Anyway, after Lady Med we decided to have dinner at Go Nuts. Yes. My dinner was composed of a chocolate frost donut and iced tea. How filling.

Moving on...

During the trip home one of us had to go to the Taft portion of Pedro Gil. Anne, my partner, lives way over there at PJ Mansion. Nobody went with her because we all lived at the "CLUB" side of Malate. After seing her swallowed by the darkness of the BSLR shadows, I was feeling a bit guilty because I let her go alone. How rude of me. After arriving at the dorm I received a message from her, saying that she was already safe. *Sigh.

Not to be bitter about it, but I really wish that the podium at BSLR-E could be moved. It restricted my and my partner's movements. Anyway... After the awarding, we (joanne and I) tried to squeeze out of the room but it was way hard because everybody kept congratulating evrybody else and everyone kept crowding around his/her own Lady Med. It was a relief when we finally breathed the relatively fresh outside air.

I don't think I'm gonna miss this particular Lady Med. Why? It's not tbeacuase it happens every year. It's because I'm with the people I'm always with a.k.a. my classmates. All the things we went through for the past weeks have helped me know more about them. I'm sure that we will have more oppotunities to pull off great stunts together and that's what keeps me hoping that Med life won't be as dull as I thought it would be. Awwwwwwwwwwwwww...

Okay. I was at a counter at Natio today. I was the one the cashier was supposed to attend to but suddenly this guy shows up claiming that he has been given the wrong change. Mali raw kasi yung naka-punch sa resibo di sa kanya.

What pissed me off (and I was already pissed off) was that the cashier was slow about it. She wanted to open the package! Sensing the b****'s incapacity to think well, I insisted that my items be punched first. She sharged me for ne item when I bought two! How dumb is that. So I told her so. That I had two items, not about her being dumb. Ugh. Some people just need a good slap in the face.

Nothing really extraordinary happened today, except about R*****. He went with us for dance practices! Oh no. The he was exposing his ugly chest for the world to see! It was ugly.

Then I saw him with his head being stood upon for the Lady Med pose. Harhar.

I have to get away from him. I'm becoming more evil...

Tuesday nights are supposed so be free nights! It's when we can do almost anything (?) without fear of repercussions (parang ang wild)! We should not be studying anything, but the hellishly freakish NSTP lecturer wanted us to study a seventeen-page piece of hell. How iditoic. UGH!

My goodness. I still haven't studied for the second Math Departmental Exams. MDE. Second. Oh no.

I don't want to study; it's sacrilege! That's why I'm posting this. I'm stalling. But the inevitable must be faced. Sleep!

Sigh. After 10 years, here I am again.

To recap...

Last week was hell. I can't remember most of it, but it's still hell.

Never in my life have I been shouted at before. Yes, I do all the shouting, but never had anyone had the guts to actually SHOUT at me. *Scoff....

We were practicing (for the nth time) this super cheesy (mmmmm) scene in front of the class(most of them, anyway). As usual, there was this very bubbly and ever joyful me making light of all the things happening (no to burn out!). Then things HAD to get serious. Someone actually had to yell at me twice to shut me up. I mean, why does anyone have to yell one's voice to convey the garvity of the situation. Fine, I'm overreacting, but still! I'm not that dumb, and I think I could understand a subtle signal or so... And to cause me embarrassment is such a big deal! So I had to walk out of the practice because of my involunatry quivering lip. So I rushed outside not knowing where to go. Downstairs? No. Too far away. Yes. To the ever faithful and loving CR.

Reality check... I had a lot of things to think about. I suddenly missed home. I missed highschool. I missed my friends. I miss eerything that was. Uh huh. All this in the span of 5 minutes I was inside a stinking cubicle. Think think think...

So that was pretty much it for last week. Oh. We had dance pratices tooooooo! Fun fun fun!!!

Okay I just remembered something...

After a session 7 of us (iMed pipz) just sat down, talking. I started to sing this song that's been bugging me for quite a while... "I never had a dream come true, til the day that I found you..." Rings a bell? Anyway... This started off a chain of super "emo" songs. Each one had to reminisce on his/her own because we didn't really have that much for us all to remininsce together. Okay, I don't make sense... Basta... S Club... 2!

Oooooh. Today was a day of adeventures, but I think I can type about one adventure only.

We (kulto ni Amante) needed a clear plastic folder for us to put our essays in. I panicked so I went with a group of Pisay (not my own campus) people in search for folders. We tried the shops along Faura but we really didn't find any store that sells folders (it was only 8 or so in the morning and most shops were closed). DO NOT TRY TO BUY SCHOOL SUPPLIES AT GOODWILL BOOKSTORE. They only sell BOOKS. Duh.

So we were tired and we decided to go back to school when I saw this little passage. I thought there were stores at the end of that passage so I urged the gang to explore. Alas! What greeted our sight was a gruop of gangsta-looking people. So trash that place.

We evaluated uor options. I suggested (me and my suggestions) to go to National Bookstore. If it happens to be closed, then we should wait for it to open then run like hell towards GAB. Thankfully, it was open. So we hoarded. Hail Natio!!!

Back at the GAB, a friend was offering me a plastic folder. Argh! So much for that adventure.

Philo class: I was so detached. I didn't listen to the class's rantings and ravings about language and meaning and all that jazz. I decided to doodle. Thankfully, a seatmate had a headful of weird ideas so talk was the next option. I was so absorbed with the conversation I didn't realize that the whole class just made "fun" of him. Boo hoo...

Okay. What was in my notebook?

"Be kind to public antagonists."

I should really stop making fun of these people. I'm not perfect. Nobody is. So why should they be any different from me? Uhm... I could point out a lot of things but the point is that I'm not supposed to! Why is it so hard to be good?

So to close, what is this foreign movie in HBO? It's about a doctor who has prisoners for patients. Then they all tell their stories... Yada yada yada.
