ayoko na. nababaliw nako. first, he makes me happy, tapos biglang iiwan ako sa ere. tapos bigla namang papasayahin ulit ako.
ano ba talaga?? hindi ko na 'to kaya. mababaliw ako sa kaiisip kung may nasabi ba ako o nagawang mali. hindi ko alam...every time you do that, napa-paranoid ako. maawa ka naman sa akin..
di ako maka concentrate sa pag aaral kase habang nag me-memorize ako, bigla na lang sumasagi ka sa isip ko. promise, naiiyak na ako dahil sa'yo.
WALA KA'Y KLARO. in short. waaa.. ewan ko. i keep on telling myself na tama na, ayoko na, pero tuwing nakikita kita, nakakalimutan ko lahat yun.
pagod nako. pero mas napapagod ako tuwing sinusubukan kong tigilan na ito. paano ko ba 'to titigilan, eh bigla-bigla ka namang nagbabago. you're sweet now, you're a stranger later. ako namang si tanga, hindi alam kung may pagkakamali ba ako that you suddenly don't talk to me..waaa ewan..
ewan. this is making me crazy!! ewan!!! =p

i've never felt this way for a little while, but i couldn't believe someone like him would always keep me hanging once again...
it already happened before and i know i should have learned by now. i shouldn't trust so much on what i feel for him and what he feels for me. we never told each other the truth. we just played it like a game and now i feel like he's been leaving me hanging all this time, hoping for something i know i shouldn't.
should i let myself get hurt again, is already the most stupid mistake i'll do in my life. of all the things i've been through, this is really something that i can't get over with, especially when i get struck by it.
if he wants it, he'll get it. if he'll tell me, then that's better. truth hurts, but lies are more painful. and i don't want to get immersed in lies only he can make me believe.
i don't wanna feel this way, but hes making me....

Although I like Michael Jackson, I’m not really a huge fan of him. I like his songs, but I’m not head over heels for him.
Until I saw his This Is It movie which featured the videos of his latest concert rehearsals before he died.
I’m still not a huge fan of him but I’ve realized how much he touched peoples’ lives not only with his music, but also with his personality.
Michael wasn’t just born to entertain his fans, but he was born to give INSPIRATION to people in every walks of life around the world.
We’ll truly miss your legend, MJ. :)

tomorrow is blood letting day. i do this almost every year, and i’m so happy to be able to help others simply by giving out blood.
it’s not the pain and what you feel after that matters. it’s the emotional feeling of fulfillment knowing that every drop of your blood counts to save another life. :))

hahaha! hindi ko na alam ang pakiramdam ng kinikilig. siguro, i felt this way, ages ago na. paano naman, sa edad kong ‘to, dapat pa ba akong kiligin?
pero ayun, baket kaya kinikilig ako sa tuwing nag me-message siya sa YM ko? bakit kaya kinikilig ako every time he compliments me? bakit kaya kinikilig ako pag natutuwa siya sa jokes ko? bakit kaya kinikilig ako pag pinaparamdam niyang masaya siya at kausap niya ako?
grabe, this is soooo high school. pero i guess, may karapatan din naman akong kiligin, diba? =p

this has been a really great challenge for me. i can't even believe na sa katamaran kong ito, i was able to survive almost 5 months of medical torture!
oh well. i'm just so happy to inform you that i'm back! hahaha!! and i might be moving to a new blog address, but i'll still keep this. i love this blog. this has been my blog for almost 5 years already. :))

Yuppies in Samal!
The San Isidro Labrador Young Professionals had their first ever retreat at the Our Lady of Victory in Sitio Camudmud, Babac, Island Garden City of Samal. :)
weee!! It was very fun, grabe! I never expected it would turn out to be a very fun outing!
Well, as usual, hindi nasunod ang oras talaga kung kailan kame aalis from Davao, at darating sa Samal. We arrived there at around 2pm na, where we had to cook fro lunch.
Pagkatapos naming mag lunch, we went to the Bat Cave. It wasn't really far from our RetreatHouse, pero medyo mahirap ang daan. haha! But then, when we reached the place, we felt it was worth it.
But then, as we went to see the bats, sobrang na shock ako! haha!! Kakaiba yung amoy, grabe! It was one of the worse smells that I've ever smelled! Medyo ok pa nung una, pero nung nag try na kaming umakyat sa taas to see more bats, hindi ko na kinaya. I was already retching like mad at natakot na ako na baka masuka ako dun. LOL!
So some of the girls decided to go down na lang. Sobrang hindi talaga kinaya! Hinintay na lang namin yung iba dun sa may entrance. :)
So after the bat cave, while on our way back to the retreat house, biglang umulan and unexpectedly, nalibing sa putikan ang gulong ng L300 van namen! hahaha!! Ayun, bonggang bonggang tulakan! Sobrang dumi tuloy nila! Hindi ako sumali kase ako ang nag document sa mga pangyayare. Nakakaloka! Pero it was so fun! Dun na lang kame nakapag team building. hahaha!!! =p
Hindi pakame dumiretso sa retreat house. Talagang namasyal pa kame sa Holy Cross na Maritime training center. Kaya ayun, before going back to OLV, we decided to have an outing nanaman soon doon sa Holy Cross.
So anyways, ayun, rest kame pagdating sa OLV. The others took a bath, kase sobrang dumi nila. haha! After that, Father Pepe went home na, kase may mass pa siya on a Sunday while Father Orly stayed behind.
We had a session and some sharing that night. Pagkatapos, yung usual ghost stories! haha!! It was really weird that for the first time, natakot ako while hearing the stories. Grabe! lol! Then ayun, we decided to go to bed na pero kame ng mga teachers and Divine decided to stay up and play cards while we continued the ghost stories.
In the end, alas tres nako nakatulog. hahaha! At gumising po ako ng alas singko! lol! I only had a few hours of sleep. Kase when I woke up, di nako makatulog ulet because of the rain tapos medyo maliwanag na sa labas. So ayun, I had coffee and waited for the others to wake up.
We had breakfast at naligokame sa beach! yay!!! Sobrang saya talaga! Nag session nanaman kame after that, then lunch at games games na! haha! At first naglaro kame ng cards, pero we decided to play the FIND THE KILLER game. One of the best games we've ever had! haha!
And by 3 in the afternoon, kailangan na naming umalis para makapunta pa sa bahay nina Father Orly. When we reached his house, I really told the others na pag ako nakatira dun, mahihinto ako sa pag-aaral. haha! Meron kasi silang tindahan, videoke, conputer at pool table. Tatambay na lang siguro ako dun forever! hahaha!!
Ayun, nung medyo dumidilim na, we went home na.
It was a very nice experience. When I first entered the Young Professionals org in our church, I only had my brother as someone I could always talk to. But through that retreat, I became close to the other members and was able to show them the real me. :)
Pictures can be viewed by clicking here. :) - we should be friends in order to see the photos. :)

PRE-NOTE: For non medical people, please search the capitalized words in google para maka relate kayo! =p
ok, so today was the first day of our prelim exam. we had one subject: Anatomy, with the laboratory moving exam in the morning and lecture written exam in the afternoon.
so this was what happened. dumating ako sa school nang di masyadong prepared. i studied hard, sa SNELL (the author of the textbook we use in anatomy lecture), at hindi sa CLEMENTE (the author of the dissector that we use in the laboratory). eh dapat, mas mag aral ako sa clemente kase lboratory exam siya.
so here goes. my classmates and i reviewed about the muscles, arteries, nerves, veins, origins, insertions, chorvaloo...hehe! we reviewed really hard, kahit na medyo napaka hyper namen mag review. hahaha!!
so dumating si kuya gilbert (isa sa mga assistant sa lab). he was like, "ang hirap ng exam niyo! pag aralan niyo ang mga nerve roots"
eh di nataranta ang lola niyo dahil hindi ko pinag aralan ang nerve roots!! so buti na lang, earl was able to save the day dahil tinuruan niya kame. hahaha!! sabe ku pa, "i have a feeling na walang nerve roots. alam niyo naman si kuya gilbert, may pagka-flip" ahahaha!!
so anyways, ayun the exam started. una ang section namen and it was in alphabetical order. as our surnames were approaching nearer, we became practically random na. the guys started to sing medley songs and i started to rant, "kung alam ko lang ganito kahirap ang med, sana nag law na lang ako" mwahaha!! imagine? ako? nag LAW? hahaha!!
so anyways, to make the long story short, it was our turn already. so i took my paper, wrote my name, the date, etc...so when the bell rang, i went to the first station..
NEYM: hala, ano yan?
kase nakatali sa muscle sa likod ng sternum. pero i wasn't sure if it was a muscle or a fascia...so i answered TRANSVERSUS THORACIS MUSCLE...
then i moved on...gahd!! at nakatali ang ipapaidentify nila sa isang NERVE!! and nerve is my hatest part dahil isa lang talaga ang masasagot ku sa lahat ng nerve...LATERAL THORACIC NERVE! ahahaha!! para sure!! =p
ni hindi ku na ma differentiate kung nerve or artery ba yung nakikita ku. magkamukha kase. mwahaha!!
so anyways, i got into this station where i had to think of the insertion of the muscle na nakatali. eh ang problema, napasarap ang pag iisip ku at naabutan na ako ng time. so nataranta nanaman ang lola niyo! when i moved on to the next station, dun ku na sinulat yung sagot ku sa previous station.
so the tendency was i wasn't able to orient myself with the position of my cadaver dahil nagmamadali na ako para makahabol sa pagsagot dun sa present station ko. when i looked at the A question, i answered PECTORALIS MAJOR MUSCLE. then sa B question naman, medyo napaisip pa ako, pero i answered SUBCLAVIUS MUSCLE...
so i guess it was around a few seconds before the bell rang when i was finally able to look at my cadaver and my gosh!! NAKATALIKOD PALA ANG CADAVER KO! mwahahaha!!
eh yung sagot ko, sa harap yun. ahahaha!! sa sobrang tranta ko, hindi ko napansin na nakatalikod pala yung cadaver. akala ko nakahiga siya. eh the pectoralis major muscle is in front, as well as the subclavius..
eh di taranta part three ako. i erased my first two answers, pero the bell rang na. so my answer became A: TRAPEZIUS MUSCLE at sa B: LEVATOR SCAPULAE MUSCLE...
then we moved on. more nerves, more confusing muscles or fascia and finally, i was finished...
so ayun, balita ako sa classmates ku dun sa nangyare. sabe ku pa, "yung sa trapezius chorva" sabe naman nila, "wala namang trapezius"
and then napaisip uli ako...gahd!! hindi nga pala trapezius yun kase tinanggal na ang trapezius! ahaha!! it was the INFRASPINATUS MUSCLE pala!! tangina!! mali nanaman ako dun! ahahha!!
sobrang werla moment talaga. akalain mong hindi ku man lang napansing NAKATALIKOD pala at hindi NAKATIHAYA yung cadaver na sinasagutan ku. if i was able to orient myself na nakatalikod siya, i was able to analyze the muscle pa and would be able to answer it correctly.
huuuu...i hate moving exams! nakaka pressure!! meron pang devil clock na nadidinig talaga sa speaker yung TICKING sound niya. and every tick would correspond to my heartbeat. hahaha!!!
if it wasn't for the time pressure, i would have answered the muscles well..haaayy..
so anyways, dahil sa sobrang frustrate ku sa nangyare, when i bought my lunch, ang tingin ku sa mga carrots eh nerves at sa mga fish naman eh muscles. hahaha!!! parang they were mocking me, telling me how stupid i was. mwahahaha!! =p
and while i was licking my wound, biglang nag announce na WALANG PASOK dahil may H1N1!! mwahaha!!
so yun, suspended and classes namen hanggang july 30. yay!! more time to date walter boron! ahahaha!!! =p

I really don't know how to strat. But maybe I'll start with saying, WTF! How did they all grow up so fast?
Oh well, I'm sort of proud to say that I'm one of those who actually watched them grow from little kids to ladies and gents. hehe.
WARNING: Spoilers ahead. =p
But back to the movie, as usual, it was an awesome movie, however, we who have read the books couldn't help but get a little disappointed with the scenes that weren't included in the movie. Those scenes won't even take up much of the allotted running time for that movie.
For once, a very essential scene wasn't included. The Battle in the Astronomy Tower. Imagine a bunch of Death Eaters invading the castle of Hogwarts, do you think they would just walk around the castle silently without wreaking havoc? Just being realistic, we all know that there should be a battle going on when Harry and Dumbledore returned from their journey in the cave. But there was nothing. There was only silence and confrontations that I think really ruined the movie.
What I like about the movie though was that they sort of showed that Snape really isn't the bad guy, even if it was only subliminal. It was when he gestured to Harry not to make a sound as he climbed up and killed Dumbledore. It was like telling Harry to stay put and follow Dumbledore's orders until the end, as if letting Harry know that he really shouldn't do anything to disobey the Headmaster's orders.
It was good, really. For those who already knew about the Deathly Hallows perhaps would agree with me. For those who don't, sorry for the spoiler.
Another thing that I love in the movie was the scene in the cave. For the first time, I screamed while watching a Harry Potter movie. That Inferius scene when Harry scooped up some water really surprised me. And when Dumbledore conjured the fire to ward of the Inferi, it was indeed beyond what I was imagining. It was more intense and amazing.
No matter how hard I try to complain about the movie, I still couldn't help but love it. Maybe because I've been a fan for already nine years now, and there's really nothing that can make me say no to anything going on with Harry Potter. :)

SATURDAY:
Make-up classes kung meh na miss sa isang linggo. =p
Saan naman kayo nakakita ng isang buong araw na klase para lang sa isang subject? Sa Medical School lang yan! haha!
Sa totoo lang, hindi ko talaga akalaing ganito pala kahirap maging estudyante ng Medisina. Alam kong hindi lamang siya para sa matatalino, pero alam ko ding hindi siya para sa mga tamad. At dahil tamad ako, kailangan ko na talagang magbago.
Medisina lang ang nagpahinto sa akin sa pagne-net araw-araw.
Medisina lang ang nagturo sa aking magpa photocopy ng mga lecture para sa susunod na linggo.
Medisina lang ang naghikayat sa akin na magbasa lagi ng libro.
Medisina lang ang nagkumbinse sa akin na huwag matulog sa klase dahil madaming mami-miss sa lecture.
At higit sa lahat, medisina lang ang may bonggang lecture na tatlo hanggang apat na chapters ng libro sa isang araw. WHOA!!
Kaya kung ako sa inyo, kung gusto niyong maging doktor, pagisipan niyo ng ilang taon, hindi yung ilang segundo, tulad ng ginawa ko. haha! =p
MONDAY:

Medisina lang ang nagpahinto sa akin sa pagne-net araw-araw.
Medisina lang ang nagturo sa aking magpa photocopy ng mga lecture para sa susunod na linggo.
Medisina lang ang naghikayat sa akin na magbasa lagi ng libro.
Medisina lang ang nagkumbinse sa akin na huwag matulog sa klase dahil madaming mami-miss sa lecture.
At higit sa lahat, medisina lang ang may bonggang lecture na tatlo hanggang apat na chapters ng libro sa isang araw. WHOA!!
Kaya kung ako sa inyo, kung gusto niyong maging doktor, pagisipan niyo ng ilang taon, hindi yung ilang segundo, tulad ng ginawa ko. haha! =p

Ayon sa Philippine Nurses' Association, Flu Awareness Month ngayon. And I'm exactly aware of the flu virus dahil nagkaroon ako ng trangkaso nung lunes! haha!
Buti na lang talaga kanselado ang unang araw ng klase nung Lunes dahil pag nagkataon, absent ako sa kauna-unahang araw ng klase ko. Ano na lang sasabihin nina doki? lol!
Anyways, ayun, super sakit ng katawan ko, tapos may sipon at ubo pako na meh sangkatutak na plema. At alam kong hindi ako tinamaan ng A(H1N1) flu virus dahil in the first place, hindi naman ako pumunta ng ibang bansa at hindi din ako nakipag halubilo sa kung sino mang galing abroad. Wala din akong sore throat. hehe.. =p
So ayun, buong araw ako nasa bahay at feeling may sakit. lol! May sakit naman talaga ako nun. Umabot ng 40 degrees centigrade ang temperature ko at sangkatutak na Biogesic na ininom ko, di pa din nawala.
Di tuloy ako nakapunta nun sa birthday ng kaibigan ko. Wala din akong gana kumain nun kasi masama ang panlasa ko dahil sa sipon.
Kaya ito ang mapapayo ko sa inyo. Hindi mo talaga maiiwasan ang flu lalo na dahil sa panahon ngayon na umaaraw tapos lumalamig, umuulan. Pero kapag nagsimula na kayong magkaroon ng sintomas, simulan niyo nang magpahinga, uminom ng maraming tubig at Vitamin C. Sa katunayan, hindi pa kayo nagkakasakit, mag Vitamin C na kayo, dalawang beses sa isang araw, para talagang bonggang-bongga ang immune system niyo.
At nang di kayo matulad sa akin! lol!
Ayos na ako ngayon. Makati lang ang lalamunan ko at medyo barado pa rin ang ilong, pero fights na!
HAPPY BACK TO SCHOOL! :)

Finally, I was able to watch this much awaited movie of the year! I wasn't able to watch it when it was first shown on theaters because I didn't have anyone to watch with me. My friends were so busy that they weren't able to watch either.
So anyway, it was last night when I was able to watch the film. I've heard a lot of comments from my friends who have read the book that it was very disappointing. I've also read the book, but I wasn't much disappointed because the film adaptation was so much better than any other adaptation I've seen. Although they have changed the ending of the movie, I still wasn't disappointed, because I'd rather one of the Preferiti would be saved so he would be the next Holy See; in this case, it was Cardinal Baggia. I still have high respects on Cardinal Mortati though.
And I was surprised to see that Camerlengo Ventresca is Ewan McGregor and he was exactly the kind of guy whom I imagined the Camerlengo would look like.
But I noticed he was addressed as Patrick by Cpt. Rocher, or did I hear wrong? I remembered his name in the book was Carlo.
The only thing that disappointed me was how short the confrontation was between the head of the Swiss Guard and the Camerlengo when Robert and Vittoria saw the video. If you don't ask anyone who has read the book, you won't understand why the Camerlengo murdered the Pope and initiated the fake resurfacing of the Illuminati. At least that essential part must have been very precise since it was the answer to all the questions that any viewer would ask since the beginning of the movie.
It wasn't done for revenge or to tell the Church that Science and Religion could never coincide. It was in fact a move done out of anger and disappointment as well as the fact that priests would never accept Science as an explanation to any Religious phenomena.
Angels and Demons, from what I understand wanted to tell us that Religion (referred to as Angels) and Science (referred to as Demons) could actually exist in Harmony only if one accepts the other peacefully. :)

Yeah, I'm finally talking about my new step to the future. It has been a while since I told a few of you, guys about my plans to take up Medicine this year. It has been a very sudden decision, thinking that I didn't proceed with the course right after I graduated from my Nursing course. Everything just went so fast. I had to run up for my NMAT application, so I would be able to take the exam last April and would not wait for December anymore for the next exam. It was a little hard because I had to do everything, from the mailing, to the payment up to follow ups, all by myself, and without the assistance of the CEM, since I didn't submit my application on time.
But all came out well. I was able to go to Manila for the exam and then the waiting started. It has been over 4 weeks before the result was mailed to me and in those four weeks of waiting, I've had lots of dilemmas on whether I will continue with my plans, or would just back out and start looking for a new job. I already have a profession, anyway.
I asked for signs, different signs on whether I would continue applying for Medicine. Then the first sign came. My friend, Dhawell texted me that his cousin also wanted him to take up Medicine. I told him about my plans to back out but he encouraged me to go on. If he would continue, like me, we would be doctors together in the near future. =p
And then the NMAT result came. Mum went to DMSF to ask if I passed and they said I did. When I heard about it, as if all my doubts and second thoughts disappeared and I became very determined to go on with my plans.
I spent 2 straight weeks to process my application for the school. I never imagined it would be this stressful, because it wasn't like this when I enrolled for first year college in my Nursing course in Ateneo. It was so different but when I was finally enrolled to the school, it was such a fulfillment.
My next adventure will start on June 8th, and I hope that I will be able to blog happily about my new life as a medical student in the next weeks to come. :)

Camp Sabros is located in the highlands of Kapatagan, Digos, Davao del Sur. It is an almost 2-hour ride from Davao City. Getting there requires patience, stamina and a good 4x4 truck.
The place is owned by the Sacdalan Brothers, who are also mountaineers. The name Sabros was derived from Sacdalan Brothers.
On December 25, 2008, the longest zip line in the Philippines - envisioned by Edwin Sacdalan - was launched and it immediately captured the attentions of those who love adventure and those who were merely curious.
Just last April1, 2009, my family and I went upto this cool place. It was a good timing for us since there weren't much tourists visiting the place and the Tourism Secretary Ace Durano was visiting.
The wind was blowing chills on us when we got out of the car. As we walked up the little hill to their restaurant for lunch, excitement was already coursing through me since it would be my first time to try the zip line.
What was supposed to be just a family gathering on a summer season turned out to be an awesome adventure.
My brother, nephew and I tried the shortest zipline available, partnered with a Cable Lift. We didn't want to try the long ones yet since it was our first time.
So we had a go at the 380-foot long zipline which was 180 feet above the ground and provided a good view of the Mt. Apo's peak as well the the top of pine trees.
It was a tandem zipline, which means two people should have a go at the same time. So my brother and nephew went together first leaving me alone on the second trip. As I was waiting for my turn, my heart was already pumping like bullets out of a gun. It was an incredible feeling and yet, I couldn't help but get nervous.
And my turn came. I almost had cold feet at first but I finally decided to have a go. Sliding down the zipline on a Superman position was probably the best experience I ever had in my 24 years of existence. The feeling of being suspended and sliding down on a speed unimaginable is something that is worth keeping in my memory for the rest of my life.
I was screaming out of delight when I reached the middle of the zip line and I couldn't see anything around me but the rows of trees and could only feel the gush of wind. What I didn't know was my screams could be heard on both ends of the zip line. Embarrassing? Totally not! How was I suppose to let out my emotion if I wouldn't scream, right?
Then next came the following fun adventure which was the Cable Lift. My brother said being in the zipline was a whole lot better than being on a Cable Car because in the zip line, you would arrive faster while the Cable Car would run very slow.
But for me, both were great experiences. I thought I would never be able to try such adventures, being in Davao City where some developments seemed to be a little delayed. Turned out, all you need to do is a good research, reccommendations from friends and you'll find yourself having one of the best experiences you'll ever have.
We were still about to try the longer ziplines (450-meters and 820-meters) but we didn't have much time anymore because we arrived there after lunch and the road back to Digos City wasn't much familiar for us so we need the daylight to guide us with it. But then, we're definitely going back there and try the whole package!
Secretary Ace Durano also tried the 380-meter zipline as well as the other ziplines and I was sure he would definitely promote Camp Sabros to tourists because it's not only worth the sight, but worth the adventure as well.

so i was doing my own thing yesterday when my aunt from the states called. i was the one who answered the phone so we talked. she asked me about my recent plans since i dontt have work yet at this time, so i told her that i might try working in a call center for a while, just to save up some money.
then she just suddenly asked, "do you like to proceed to medicine?" and i was like =
of course i do, but i don't. haha!! you know what i mean? i do because it was my lifelong dream to become a doctor. since i was a kid, i so wanted it. but i don't because i think it won't be very easy having to go back to school once again when you've already been a professional once in your life.
so i went to Davao Medical School Foundation (DMSF), to inquire about the course, and i was a little surprised that i had to talk directly to the dean of the college of medicine. i found out why.
it was because i still had to take this NATIONAL MEDICINE ADMISSIONS TEST (NMAT) and pass the it, before i would be able to go and enroll for the course in any medical school.
problem is, for me to be able to start my course this june, i have to take the test in manila on april...and the more problem is...the final registration for the NMAT on april was last february 27th. jeez, i was a little too late.
but the dean told me that i might be able to convince the office for NMAT that i could just follow up on the registration so i would be able to take the test this april. so tomorrow, i'm going to the office, and who knows what miracle might happen.
it is a very sudden decision but after a lot of thinking last night and this morning, i've finally decided that i will give it a try.

So my nephew brought this publication he got from his school over to me. My first question was, "How much is this?" and he answered, "25 pesos"
I laughed telling him that in my school before, publications are given out for free. My friends and I would even ambush a lot of copies to use as seats when we decide to sprawl on the lawn and bask under the sun.
So anyway, that wasn't the issue. I started reading the paper (which only consists of 4 pages) and couldn't help but roll my eyes on the grammar. With my hands itching, I grabbed a pen and laid the paper on the table then I started correcting the mistaken grammars in the articles. Seriously, what were they thinking? It's the OFFICIAL SCHOOL PUBLICATION of my nephew's school and the grammars were very grade school-ish. I know they fucking have an editor-in-chief and English administrators who handle their paper, so why can't they be corrected?
Speaking of which, I also wanted to share the news I've seen about some books given out by the DepEd that have lots of mistakes and grammatical errors. There were spotted samples from some of the books, and I couldn't believe that those books actually slipped from the grip of the editors and went onto the hands of children. What would they learn then, those fucking mistakes that would already be hard to erase from their minds because they've seen it in books?
I know some people would react that it doesn't matter if you're good in English or not as long as you can help the society to progress. I strongly disagree. Philippines is a third wolrd country. I believe that the only thing that helps us stand up is through out extra skills which is speaking in English. The English language won't be taught in schools if it isn't damn important!
I know I'm not really a great English speaker, but I'm proud of my well-developed grammar. There was even once when my brother's patient brought her American husband in the clinic. So while the wife was in the chair, the husband and I were talking. He was also a nurse so we had something in common. Then he just randomly said, "Did you live in the States?" and I said, "No, I didn't." Then he said, "You're really good in speaking English, you know. It's like you've come from the States?"
I was really flattered. Some American saying that is really flattering. So I know I have the right to be confident of my English Speaking skill and my grammar. That's why I know that I have every fucking right to bash those people who plant a lot of false information to our kids nowadays, may it be in English grammar, or other educational concerns.

The Fifth Mountain tells the story of the Biblical Prophet Elijah and his struggles as he tried to find his purpose and God's plans in his life.
Unlike in the Bible, the Fifth Mountain is written in a novel complete with descriptions and conversations of the whole story. It is more descriptive than what is in the bible. Paulo Coelho made out something interesting on a book that half of the population on earth wouldn't care to read.
For everyone who knows about the story of Elijah, you would of course be familiar with the King of Israel in his time, King Ahab marrying the Princess of Tyre, Jezebel who didn't believe in the one God but instead, forced her people to worship Baal, the Phoenician god.
Elijah was forced to leave his home and find another sanctuary in order to live and continue to carry out God's work. However just like some Prophets of his time, he was brought into a test that would falter his belief in the One God.
This story tells us on how God works in our lives. Not everyone who has been fortunate enough to hear God's voice would also be fortunate in his living. God gives each of us tests that we need to overcome and learn lessons from.
Because through these trials and hardships would we be able to understand our purpose in life and His existence. These trials would help us grow into a more intelligent and emotionally mature person by learning the lessons in our lives.
God indeed didn't abandon us when we all feel like He did. Instead of blaming Him, ourselves or others, let's just try to stand up again and rebuild the lost Faith we had and we wouldn't even realize that He has come back into our lives.

SYNOPSIS:
Liv and Emma are best friends who since childhood have planned every detail of their respective weddings. At the top of their bridal "must have" list: a ceremony at New York's ultimate bridal destination, the Plaza Hotel. Now, at age 26, they're both about to get married; they're about to realize their dreams; and they're about to live happily ever after. Or maybe not. When a clerical error causes a clash in wedding dates--they're now to be married on the same date!--Liv, Emma and their lifelong friendship are put to the ultimate test. Liv, a successful lawyer who is used to getting what she wants, including the perfect job and the perfect man, won't settle for anything less than the perfect wedding she has dreamed of for years. Emma, a schoolteacher who has always been good at taking care of others, but not so much in looking after herself, discovers her inner Bridezilla and comes out swinging when her own dream wedding is imperiled. Now, the two best friends who'd do anything for each other find themselves in a no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners struggle that threatens to erupt into all-out war.
REVIEW:
Alright, it's a good movie, but it's so typical. I mean not the plot, but the story. It's some sort of a story that I can see in most romantic-comedy movies. Emma's ending was just a little unexpected.
The movie contains all the parts of a story. haha! I think the funniest was the conflict part, where Emma and Liv would attempt to destroy each other's coming wedding ceremony. However, the stream of the story during the conflict part was usually seen in other movies. It doesn't have any unique touch in it.
However, the movie is good, I cried in the resolution part. And as I've said, I didn't expect it would end that way with Emma. lol! =]

SYNOPSIS:
The story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. Intrigued by Jamal's story, the jaded Police Inspector begins to wonder what a young man with no apparent desire for riches is really doing on this game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out...
REVIEW:
So actually, I really didn't know anything about this movie. I've only heard about it in the Critic's Choice Awards and Golden Globe awards. This low-budgeted almost Indie film became a blockbuster movie after receiving a lot of nominations from the said Awards.
So I got curious and watched the movie. I haven't read the synopsis or anything about it, I just trusted the reviews I've been hearing on TV and reading on the net.
And they were right. Slumdog Millionaire is one movie that really deserved to be acclaimed in the international film industry. It is simply made yet you can see the intelligence hidden behind the ordinary twist of the movie.
It showed the life of the poor people in India which I can greatly compare to the Philippine poverty. While the scenes showed the slums of Mumbai, I could imagine the squatters area in Manila. There really was no difference, except maybe for the fact that the movie shows India.
The great coincidence of the questions in the game show and Jamal's life was also very intelligently made. They had to think of questions worthy of the prize money, but of which Jamal was supposed to have answered because he encountered it as a child.
It is a story of love and survival. How hard someone would work for the love of his family, friends and a special someone.
I highly recommend you to watch this movie, you won't regret it.

SYNOPSIS:
"I was born under unusual circumstances." And so begins "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man's life can be.
REVIEW
So I watched this movie yesterday and they were right, this movie is awesome! It tells an extraordinary story about a not so ordinary man who was born old and aged backwards.
I also loved the way the story went, leaving prints of history in a very normal way. Even though Benjamin was unusual when he was born, he grew up, experiencing the normal life. There were no extraordinary events in his life, it's just like watching someone's life story with a different twist.
Unbelievable as Benjamin's case may be, the way he handled life despite his difference was very inspiring. He grew up like any normal person would. He played with toys when he was a kid, fell in love when he got older, went on his way and became independent and started building his own family.
However, the catch was as he grew old, his features become younger until he became a little kid who wasn't able to remember anything from his past anymore.
I love the slogan that I usually see in the poster:
"We're meeting in the middle...we finally caught up with each other"
Even though Benjamin grew up unusually, there came a time when his looks matched the age of the girl he loved since he was a child. It was supposed to be a very happy decade for Benjamin but then, he knew that he couldn't stop the time and the unavoidable will occur. Another decade, and he would be as good as his daughter's playmate.
I cried so hard in the end of the movie. It was just so sad, having to know that the one you love had to leave you because it was necessary. And seeing the one you love die in your arms is just the most painful feeling that you'll ever have.
Benjamin Button inspired us to live our lives fully, because there is only going to be one lifetime for each of us, and there would always be no room for regrets.

January 26th, 2009 @ approximately 4pm. I'm not sure if it'll hit the northern part of the Philippines. From what I've read, it could hit Mindanao though. I hope so. And I also hope it won't rain or there won't be any overcast thing. haha! =p
I just learned about this a moment ago when my sister told me. And I was like, "Jeez, you know what, I dreamed of an eclipse last night!"
But it was a very, very weird lunar eclipse. haha! You see. The sun covered up the moon and turned night into day. See how weird it was?
Isn't it weird? My dream went like this. I was from a Chinese New Year celebration. I watched the fireworks, but it rained. And then, the rain turned into salt that looked like snow on the ground.
Then afterward, I decided to go home, because my best friend was waiting. I took a bus and met a guy while on the way. It was close to midnight and I fell asleep. When I woke up, I saw a little light from the sky. I looked at my watch and it read 2:05 am. Then confused, I checked into my cellphone and it read the same time. Then, I asked the guy beside me and he said it was past 2 in the morning.
I looked at the sky again then muttered, "Lunar eclipse" haha! How can a lunar eclipse become like that? How weird.
Then I asked the driver to stop. I went out of the bus and people were also peering out from windows, looking at the sun. Yes, at 2 in the morning, it looked like the sun was already about to rise.
Then I realized I had to go home because my best friend would act very weird when there's a lunar eclipse. I took a cab and the guy I met went with me. My best friend was already freaking out and I had to strap her onto a chair to prevent her from hurting herself and hurting us.
Well, my dream ended there and I woke up. Hours after dreaming it, my sister told me about the eclipse. Was it just a coincidence or did it mean something? I'm not sure. I'm not a dream interpreter. hehe...
But nonetheless, I'm excited to see it tomorrow. I just wish, wish, wish, fucking wish that it won't rain tomorrow, and that the sky would be crystal clear! =]
Oh, another thing. It will be an Annular Eclipse...another coincidence? I'm getting very addicted to the Heroes series which has an Annular eclipse in their logo. =p

Grabe, I stayed up really late talaga kaninang madaling araw just to be able to watch the swearing-in of President Barack Obama.
One reason why I wanted to wach the Inauguration was to be able to hear his speech, and the second was to be able to see Mrs. Obama's fashion statement for the occasion. In truth, it is one of the highlights of the swearing-in: Michelle Obama's dress.
It took really long, but I really appreciate how the Americans abide to the time. Unlike Filipinos when we were always an hour late of the scheduled time.
It was a really different feeling, seeing an African American being sworn-in as the President of the United States. And he was still very young.
It was really a great achievement for the minority, especially to the immigrants of the United States whose rights weren't much attended by the previous Presidents. In Obama's reign, there was a greater hope for their needs to be acknowledged because we all know that Barack Obama represents the minority of America.
When the first-family went out into the open, everyone was stunned by what Michelle, Malia and Sasha wore for that occasion. Positive feedbacks about their fashion get-up flooded the internet and my favorite comment was, "Michelle Obama is showing promise for a brighter and more fashionable White House." (Sydney Wasserman, fashion editor, Interview magazine) Indeed, she is, and so as her daughters.
So it was already time for the oath-taking. Chief Justice Jonh Roberts was the one who had sworn Obama in the Presidency. But then, there was a little flaw during the oath-taking, because of course, both Chief Justice Roberts and President Obama were first-timers.
No one could actually blame them for being nervous during the oath-taking.
First, Obama jumped in before the "do solemnly swear". I even commented that he was probably too excited. And then on the second line, probably Roberts got a little off course after Obama's jumping in, that he said the second line straight, "that I will execute the office of President to the United States faithfully."
And Obama, after saying, "that I will execute..." he paused, looking intently at Roberts, as if prompting him to repeat the next line. And Roberts was like, "The off ... faithfully the pres ... the office of President of the United States."
Talk about stutters. I was sure a lot have noticed that flaw, but no one commented badly on it, understanding that it was Chief Justice Robert's first time to swear someone in the office. He, being the youngest Chief Justice of the High Court still had a lot to learn in the next 25 years of his office.
There were a lot of people during the inauguration. It actually beat Lyndon B. Johnson's record during his inauguration in 1963. Clearly, it stated that Barack Obama's presidency had been agreed by more than half the population of the United States.
His speech was very short yet very precise. Although he didn't include direct actions to the crisis in his speech, he encouraged the Americans to finally stand up and work together in remaking America, in putting the country back in the line of the most powerful and at the same time, to work together with the monority.
Outgoing President George W. Bush left a lot of problems for Obama to work with. Let this be his challenge to prove that the people of the United States didn't make a mistake in choosing the first African-American to lead their country.

I didn't know her.
I don't know her.
And I don't intend to know her.
Wait, I think I know her...Oh, yeah, she's the little girl with the big voice who was discovered in Youtube. She's guested on Oprah's show, Ellen Degeneres' show and even that English show with the guy I forgot.
Aside from that, I don't know anything about Charice anymore.
She took a step to fame, but I still didn't intend to know her. Why?
Because I'm not among those who took her fame to an advantage. What, becoming an instant fan just because she sailed across the globe and was seen with famous international stars? Oh please! And where were you before she was even known? I bet you don't even know some Charice Pempenco existed.
I really wonder why some people have this "balimbing" manner. The sort of behavior wherein you stick for a particular thing just because it's in the limelight. Don't you think it's one way of showing you're not being true to yourself?
I make my mom as an example. She didn't know who Charice was, until my sister showed a video of her on Youtube, and Ellen Degeneres asking her to come visit her in her show. And my mom, in that instant was like, "Wow! She's really great! Oh look at her! She's so awesome!"
And after the Ellen show was aired, mom became an instant Charice fan. I couldn't help but roll my eyes. What's with this instant fandom thing? Just because she's become popular? Jeez, wake up! Do you even know anything about her aside from her name?
And them mom would start looking for Charice anywhere on TV. Indeed, starting her rise to fame, she had been guesting in a lot of TV shows already. But that didn't move me.
Sure, I admit, she's had a really great voice, but other than that, I don't find anything special about Charice.
My friend Dhawell even asked me this question before: "Do you like Sarah?" and I was like, "I looove Sarah." Then he asked again, "How about Charice" I looked at him, shook my head and said, "No."
Then he raised his eyebrows. "Why? She's becoming famous." And I answered. "So? That doesn't mean I'll be an instant fan, or whatever. I wasn't a fan of Charice, and no matter what she achieves, I'll never become her fan."
It's really not that I didn't like her. But I also can't find reasons to like her either. You got me? Charice is great, but that doesn't mean she was able to convince everyone to become her fan.
I still look up Sarah Geronimo, and no matter where Charice's fame may bring her, I'd never falter. Because why would I settle for someone whose name I only knew after she had been well-known?
And another thing. I think this whole Charice Pempengco being an international star thing would make her head grow bigger in the future. I don't need a fortune-teller saying that to believe it would happen. The huge international industry is just too much for her young age to handle.
It's really not an execution of crab mentality or something. In fact, I'm quite proud that another Filipino has imprinted a name over Hollywood. But then, I don't think Charice would be able to keep her feet on the ground with all this stardom happening to her.
I just hope it won't be a reason for her downfall in the future.
UPDATE: JANUARY 19
I saw in Ang Pinaka yesterday that Charice is Number 7 in the Most Searched Local Celebreties on the Internet.
Hmmmm...I don't actually count myself as one of those who searched for her in the internet. I think the only time I searched for Charice Pempengco on the net was when I looked for a picture to post in this blog. haha! =p

A cheerleader who's indestructible; a nurse who can absorb any abilities near him; a politician who can fly; a cop who can hear thoughts; an office worker who can bend space and time; a mother who has an alter-ego; and a junkie who can paint the future.
All of them were in danger from a man named Sylar who kills people with abilities and steals their power. All of them must work together to save the world and defeat the villain.
I think Heroes was aired in 2006 or 2007, I'm not really sure. I've actually only seen some parts of the series on Studio 23 before but I wasn't able to watch all the chapters in season one.
This is the only time that i was able to watch all 23 chapters.
I say these people who have extraordinary abilities all have their own destiny in saving the world, and saving others like them from Sylar.
I was amazed that in all 23 chapters, there was no boring episode ever. Each chapter was exciting and would really make you anticipate for the ending.
But I was sort of disappointed by the ending. I know in Season 2, Sylar was still alive, but how could they actually believe that Hiro was able to kill Sylar just by stabbing him with Takezo Kensei's sword? They should have at least ripped his head open, too and removed his brain. haha! =p
Anyways, the ending was good, but I just didn't like how they ended it for Sylar. It was a very stupid act to stab someone who's got more than what their abilities had. It was out of the question. They'd risked their lives and other special people's lives to stop Sylar and they were satisfied just after he was stabbed.
Wow! No wonder Sylar lived. Because he was waaayy smarter than any of them.

As far as my dementia could take me, I will try my best to remember every significant happening in my 2008.
JANUARY:
I had my first Korean tutorial job. Jeon Yong Wook. A nine-year old Korean kid whom I had to teach basic English. It was fun and exhausting at the same time. It was all worth it anyway.

Trip to Zamboanga. I met Apple (Hannah Jane Torres) there and it was really nice. It was my first Mindanao trip that I took the bus and traveled for a whole 22 hours. It was also a great SUN month with Nicca.
Neym and Apple
MARCH:
My super duper late graduation. It was like going back to college again, with all the practicing and stuff. Then, I also had my braces! The most bothering thing ever attached to my body! I was also able to see Kring after a long-long time. And Donna, too!
Neym, Donna and Kring
Braces Attack!
Super Duper Late Graduation
APRIL:
Family Isla Reta moments. My family doesn't often go on outing together because of different schedules, so this was very memorable.
Rap-Rap, me, mom and kuya. Isla Reta
MAY:

JUNE:
Bonding with my friends during Kidd's birthday. They were awesome. Imagine them paying everything for me because I was so broke during the time. It was fun and a little sad, too because Great's dad passed away.
Matet, Karen, JC, Neym

Dhawell went home from Manila. I went to his hometown in Kidapawan with him. It was fun there although I was alone and was sort of just randomly joining his family. I felt like some long lost cousin to the Miñozas! =p
Daryl, Ron, Neym, Arriz, Dhawell
OCTOBER:

NOVEMBER:
Twilight! Bonding with my girlfriends! Last bonding before Madel went to Kuwait and Karen flew to Brisbane, Australia.
