As mentioned on my previous entry, my group in duty had an affiliation at the Philippine Orthopedic Center for the last two weeks. It came across my mind, that someday, I might want to work there as one of the staff nurses, caring for patients who experienced vehicle accidents, trauma and near to death experiences, and having their bones drilled then pull it by a medical jargon, called “traction”.  I don’t know, but it tickled my heart a bit. I yearn to know how it feels like to be in a 50-50 possibility of being alive, the feeling of how God gave you a second chance to live your life again.

Having your bone drilled by a metal pin is agonizing, and being confined in a hospital for 6 months or so is hundred percent humdrum. Imagining about this makes me want to be more careful when stepping down the stairs, follow traffic rules and cross in a pedestrian lane, and most importantly, as much as possible not to drive or ride a motorcycle. What they said was true; half of your life is buried in the grounds when you ride a motorcycle. Pondering about these things, I should pray to God more so He could take care of my loved ones wherever they are going.

Wearing a white uniform with an irritable white stockings is an everyday scheme for us future nurses to be. And it will be forever a costume once we’re registered nurses working in a healthcare institution. But you know what? The nuisance of wearing the uniform is worth it.  It’s quite poignant when a patient said a simple “thank you” for taking care of him and the feeling cannot be replaced by the dollars I’ll be earning soon. The look on their faces etched my heart, as if saying I should continue and help more. Weird, but I’m feeling that nursing may perhaps be the right course for me. Empathy is an important trait one nurse has to possess, and I believe I am born with it.

All the people I know have watched Transformers, and being the busy-girl-in-a-cheapskate that I am, I didn’t manage to catch it in the movie house. And when everybody’s talking about how great the movie was, I want to plug something into my ears so I won’t be able to hear the spoiler. Luckily, pirated DVDs will soon be released at Quiapo (or there is one already?) so maybe I’ll be able to watch it anytime soon.

School’s doing just fine except for one professor. I hope he can read this.  

Dear Mr. DGZM,

I know you graduated from a reputable university, and it’s tiring to hear you boast about it every time you begin the lecture. We are paying our tuition fee for you teach us how to make our thesis, not for giving us handouts about a computer statistics program, called SPSS. I do understand that it was your rule not to be late, but haven’t we told you beforehand (before your class started) that we’re just going to print something and you allowed us 30 minutes to do so? Was it reasonable to mark us absent in your class when you know in fact that we are not?  I should have brought a camcorder so I can record all your depraved gay acts on our male classmates. It will make our beloved Dean Castro puke to death. If not for my group mates in thesis, I want to quit your class, not because I hate you but because I know for sure that I cannot learn something substantial from you.

And please don’t speak English, because not only your pronunciation sucks, but also your grammar is worst. Someday I might want to confront you, maybe if you’re not my professor anymore. You’re lucky I do respect you. And this came from a girl sitted on the last row, center aisle. Maybe you have no idea she thinks you’re disgusting.

I wasn’t able to watch Transformers in the movie house, but I was one of the few who were able to watch the premier of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on cinemas last July 11! As a self-confessed avid reader of the book, I’ve always been looking forward for the movie every year. As usual, as all Harry Potter readers would say, I am quite disappointed watching the movie for there are many scenes that are slashed out from the book. Good heavens, Harry and Cho Chang’s kissing scene under the mistletoe was shown. It’s one of the scenes I’ve wanted to see!

One of the characters I loved in the 5^th installment of Harry Potter is Luna Lovegood, played by Evanna Lynch. She has been described in the book as having straggly, waist-length dirty blonde hair and a dazed look on her face. Her eyes are described as "silvery" and "misty,", as well as "protuberant". And what a surprise, all physical descriptions fit her so well. That’s why JK Rowling once said that Evanna is perfect for the role of Luna. I couldn’t agree more.

Harry's first smoochie!

The tension between Dolores Umbridge and the rest of Hogwarts took much of the time. Umbridge’s character is substantial, don’t get me wrong. But I think that it is not meant to carry such a huge chunk of the film. Antics between her and the students are great, I should say.

Sirius Black on the other hand was killed by Bellatrix Lestrange by one of the “unforgivable curses”, Avada Kedavra. The death of Sirius Black in the movie and the sentiment of Harry did not exhibit a heartrending feeling. Instead, it went all the way in fighting He Who Must Not Be Named with sparks-and-fire wafting effects all the way. And I think it deserves more than that.

Sirius black doesn't deserve a tragic death.. So sad..

Overall rating:

PS: I can’t wait to read the last installment, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows! It will be out on local bookstores on July 21, 2007!

.... there comes Human Tetris game, created by non-other than the Japanese people! Objectives of the game is that the player/s should pass through a hole-shaped wall, wherein they have to position their body according to the shape in the wall so they can pass to it successfully. If failed to do so, they will be splashed in the water. Cool game! Crazy, hilarious, twisted and extremely enjoyable! Wish the Filipinos can produce game shows like these one, other than money-winning games like Game KNB or Deal or No Deal.

It's a must-see so watch it: Human Tetris Game

TGIF- Thank God it's Friday! But the heck, I have classes tomorrow morning. I miss drinking beer, actually. Or is it more like, the feeling of getting tipsy with nothing to worry about tomorrow because you can sleep the whole night peacefully, partially drooling , and wake up very late when all of your housemates have ate lunch already. So I'll be just posting a picture of mine kissing a bottle of San Mig Light. And this was like taken months ago?

Tagay mo! Straight! Hahahaha

Is there a medicine that can make you forget about anything?

If there is, I would definitely buy it.

Do somebody know where can I purchase it?

Because I don't want to wait for time to make me forget about YOU.

It will take long. Or maybe even forever...

Text messages from my friends flooded on my cellphone screen when I woke up this morning, and it’s not even my birthday yet! Some are quotes and inspirational messages to start a beautiful Sunday morning, and some are asking me how I am doing lately. Then I stopped and wondered, stared into nothingness and asked myself while hugging my favorite hotdog pillow: how am I?

Instead of replying with the usual ok lang ako or ayos lang, I decided not to set my fingers through the keypad of my cellphone to type in the words. Because really, I think I am not OK now. Problems, I had a few and I am bearing it myself, not telling anybody--even my friends about it. Every night, during these days, I was sleepless. My thoughts are disturbed with the troubles playing on my mind. Some of which pertains to heartaches and frustrations I have had. And these melancholies caused me to be so down in the dumps.

So how am I really? I go to school everyday, six days a week. After school, I go home, take a shower and pack my things, go to Red Corner Gym at Panay Avenue for boxing training, take a shower again, do my homeworks (if there’s any) and study, then sleep. On Sundays, if I am not doing the grocery at Shopwise, I’m in front of my laptop and surfing the net. Those are the routinary things I’m performing every week. I feel so unproductive and unmoving.

On why I am not OK is because I dug myself into a ground called “busy-ness”, when there’s no need to. Nonetheless, I forgot about being happy and overlooked my faith in Him. And my family, especially my friends, I caused them to worry about me. And that’s when I realized that I have to escape from this deep pit I put myself into, get a real life and enjoy it to the best I could. This life is too short to waste on thinking about problems afterall.
