the white uniform ---i still have to run some errands over this one.
the not white shoes ---okay, it's not entirely white. watt-da.
DTR, waiverSSS, recommendation letter, medical, application form, good moral certificate(why in the world did they issue me this one?! i don't practice morality. and morality is always in cahoots with society, which is by the way stereotypical. together, they violate my philisophy---INDIVIDUALISM. hahaha..) ---DONE.
and the telephone call we've all been waiting for sooo long ---haven't been transmitted yet.
................................................now i'm poker faced.
duty na!!! well, uhmm..almost.
my teacher in Theo 106 didn't show up. okay, another pes0s from our tuition fee went out flying.
for weeks, i've been contemplating when exactly will we start our internship sa botica. my classmates started theirs yesterday afternoon after ma'am Sima made the best out of my batchmates' acting talentSSS. haha..yes, we had dramatization on what to do in case a patient asks for this one, does this, how to deal with them, and how to place a call on the patient's physician. Pharmacy 2 goes star circle quest! and ma'am Sima is a good mentor. pang Gabby-Sharon ang directing skills ni ma'am! hehehe!
i won't make our fairy tale stories with Mercury Drug short because there's no way i could make it. tni may Pluto Drug or di gni Jupiter Drug man bah.
but here's the real score; uhmmm..we just don't know when exactly can we start our internship. all the managers said that our application forms haven't been received yet in the main office there in manila. so all we can do is WAIT and cross our fingers. =)) *all fingers are crossed
i'm happy to see my batchmates wearing their white uniform with matching white shoes! bskan wala ko naka uniform, in a way i saw my self in them. it seems bizarre. surreal even. that white unform means a passage of rite. they were happy, and you can tell it with the smiles and banters they throw at each other. the girls were drop-dead beautiful and sexy. uhmm..u know, the curves. hehehe! the boys were suave. girls and boys were all sophisticated! not to mention debonair. and jumie was the only one who took the time to prep up herself with her make up kit. ma'am Sima said, "girls must only put on a 'mild' make up". and jumie defended herself saying that hers was mild. with all the blinding glitters, yeah it was mild. hahaha! i am honestly dreading what heavy make up means to her. this woman has the fabulosity that one can never have in her entire lifetime. =)
but after a month or so, i know our enthusiasm will eventually fade away. uniforms will be stained. and shoes will no longer look as new and shiny as it used to be.
but hell who cares?!
get excited if u want! we're just living the moment! get that clothes dirrty. kick that shoes and walk with style baby!
and when this internship ends, i know, we'll never be the same again. =))
hooray to batch 2011!

"quote unquote"
i like Grey's Anatomy. no, i ADORE Grey's Anatomy. this is not someone speaking as a fan. this is someone speaking as a devotee. *chuckles..
main character doing voice-overs. that is what i notice about American shows and sitcoms. u know..the murdered lady in Desperate Housewives, the Gossip Girl in GG(xoxo, Gossip Girl), and Meredith Grey of Grey's Anatomy, et al...it's good to have those, coz i still find it hard to fathom what they're trying to say. and i want to share to all of you some of Meredith's voice-overs/realizations/quotes.
here goes:
"At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines... that are way too dangerous to cross. But here's one thing i know; the view from the other side is spectacular."
--**life is messy. true. maybe that's y i keep on blogging coz life is indeed, messy. i wanted something where i can freely scribble the mess of my life. nay lng, du ga layu na ta haw..hehe! anu ang point ko man? du kabudlay i-paraphrase ni! basta, life is full of lines! haha! u know, wrinkles.
"You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true."
--**an author once said that fairy tales don't teach us dragons exist. dragons are already there breathing fires on their mouth and nostrils. what fairy tales teach us is how to kill those dragons. my own fantasy? to infiltrate willy wonka's chocolate factory!!! yum!
"At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. Its like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And its not so important happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you , and once in a while people may even take your breath away."
--**uh oh. life isn't about the number of years we take. rather, it's all about the moments that take our breath away. indeed, the expected is what keeps us going...and the unexpected is what changes our lives.
"A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying."
--**i have my own set of fears(spiders!!!). and i know u have yours too. we all have, actually. i think what we all need is the belief that you can overcome them. if you can't overcome them, then undercome them. MJ(michael jordan, not michael jackson) shouldn't have been the best basketball player had he not miss 2000+ shots. paul ehrlich couldn't have discovered Salvarsan if he did not fail for 605 times. salvarsan 606( i guess we all know that). great men and women didn't just come down to history without trying, and consequently failing. u see, self-belief is all that matters. go out. the world is yours to explore. make mistakes. take a few bold moves(MOVES. not MOVIES. okey? haha!). because people who always try are those people you always see winning. self-belief.
"Pain, you just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers, you just breath deep and wait for it to subside. Most of the time pain can be managed but sometimes the pain gets you where you least expect it. Hits way below the belt and doesn't let up. Pain, you just have to fight through, because the truth is you can't outrun it and life always makes more. Look at this. Everybody wants a life without pain. And what does it get you? She needs to be on a poster somewhere to remind people, pain is there for a reason."
--**i think some pain are self-inflicting. if you're in pain, and if u want to cry it out, then cry it out. if u want to break the neck of the one who caused you this, then break it! haha! joke lng. pain. a natural thing. there's no sense on dwelling on things that hurt us. as i said, pain can sometimes be self-inflicting. smile lng bla! nu gd na man..remember; what doesn't kill us makes us a better person. and what makes us happy makes us a better person man japun...HAHAHA! t0inx!
"Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate."
--**yes, being alive is enough reason to be thankful. live. love. laugh. and u'll be more thankful. =))
"At the end of the day, there are some things you just can't help but talk about. Some things we just don't want to hear, and some things we say because we can't be silent any longer. Some things are more than what you say, they're what you do. Some things you say cause there's no other choice. Some things you keep to yourself. And not too often, but every now and then, some things simply speak for themselves."
--**whew! the quote says it all. =)
"Communication. It's the first thing we really learn in life. Funny thing is, once we grow up, learn our words and really start talking the harder it becomes to know what to say. Or how to ask for what we really need."
--**true. some things are just hard to utter. like...ma'am Corpus pwede namun malantaw grades namun(especially sa midterm!!! structural formulas are killing me)? hehe!
"At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing, where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, is usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we've chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. No matter how much we hurt them, the people that are still with you at the end of the day - those are the ones worth keeping. And sure, sometimes close can be too close. But sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need."
--**maybe that's why we have bestfriends. coz we can't do it all on our own. we just can't. we need someone who could lift us up. someone who simply listens to us. someone to tell our failures and dreams to. and someone to drink with. =)main character doing voice-overs. that is what i notice about American shows and sitcoms. u know..the murdered lady in Desperate Housewives, the Gossip Girl in GG(xoxo, Gossip Girl), and Meredith Grey of Grey's Anatomy, et al...it's good to have those, coz i still find it hard to fathom what they're trying to say. and i want to share to all of you some of Meredith's voice-overs/realizations/quotes.

wanna see season 5..
dammit. i miss this.
*Denny came down from heaven to bid his last goodbye to Izzie.
..simply the most poignant moment in Grey's Anatomy.
'..we reach across the gap. and sometimes, against all odds, against all logic. we touch.'

i wanna be naked too! =)
i have a problem.
i am dripping with sweat.
and i dunno what's the remedy.
men sweat twice more than women do.
but your blogger is sweating thousandfolds!
it's okay, i'm not so-human anyway.
maybe God didn't intend me to live in a tropical country. it gives me enough reason to bec0me a Swiss. =)
halo-halo. mais con yelo ni Nang Teri(ang neybor namun). Boracay! dirrrty ice cream. the beach(and bitches flaunting their body in the beach..ooops! hehe!). henna tattoes. salbabida. Paraw Regatta! sago't gulaman. Baguio! trunks and bikinis. havaianas and ipanemas. family outing. buko juice. fruit salad. pineapple juice! sunblocks. shades. beach volleyball. frisbee. the sun. the President surfing in Siargao(the surfing board is bigger than her!). the President playing golf in Baguio with the oligarchs of the society. the President going to Europe with all the members of her clan, not to mention the yayas. SHE'S NOT CORRUPT. yes, that was another understatement from the Arroyo administration.
a corrupt President ruling an ailing land. it makes my summer more unbearable than ever! ugh.
gimme that buko juice please.*sips..
welcome to summer in the Philippines.
(*type ko gd bla tirahon si Gloria. duno y..hihihi! )
i feel so hott. my summer memories just keep on flowing back at me. whew..n0w i'm getting nostalgic. hello childhood...my most vivid memory of summer was when my mother got furious with me. me and my 2nd cousins went out in the middle of the day in the scorching heat of the sun. i was out there swimming. swimming in the lake. nothing wrong actually. until m0m later found out that i nearly got drowned. bam! kastigo militar and bartolina for two days!!! it was the moment that gave me the meaning of electricution. kay hambal namun manguha lng kmi bulak kay ma Flores kmi. ang ending naghagaday kmi ya nga mag parentehanay maglangoy. per0 nag enjoy man ko langoy!. hehe! and speaking of bartolina, i would usually join the company of my nephews, nieces, and cousins flying the burador(kite) after days of being imprisoned in your own house. what fun! actually, i'm just the one who settles for a burador. gusto nila ya tanan pinaka(the bigger and more artistic version of a kite). then my father would help me when he sees i have difficulty flying it. a kite is easy to maintain than it's counterpart. easy to make. all you need is glue, bamboo sticks, and a roll of hilo. alas! now you have one. we would usually let it fly the whole day by tying the string up to a tree. teh swerte kung ara pa ya imu pagka aga eh. kis-a dan sa subra ka hangin gaka utod ang nylon o hilo. summer is also the time to heal broken wounds, literally. we would get bruises and wounds due to non-stop snowboarding, only this time there are no snows. haha! we live in the vicinity of a golf course(and contrary to popular belief, it isn't mine..hahaha! oh i'm dreaming again!), so there are lots of hills and miniature bukid. upod ko ya mga ka edad ko mag slide. my relatives are afraid of this coz their 'skin' might get 'bruised'. pe0ple, that's what you call 'overacting'. there's this piece of wood(ang lawanit na bla) that we sit on..and wo0osh! we were roaring like maniacs! sometimes a single piece of wood would contain ten people on it. baw ah. du Titanic eh n0h? bruises. broken b0nes. scars. name it. it's like a box of chocolate y'know..you never know what you'll get. haha..fun. fun. fun. and of course summer won't be complete without Flores de Mayo(wh0 said only good children can go to that? hehe..). dunn0 what happened but i seldom see kids doin' it these days. when the clock ticks 3 o'clock in the afternoon, it only means one thing...ma Flores de Mayo na ta kay may arr0z caldo! hehe..that caldo made my summer a bit hotter. and have i mentioned our trips to Boracay? damn! too bad Talipapa was engulfed by fire. i get such a high feeling when i'm travelling a long distance y'know. the white sand. the restobars. the ambience. and what's Boracay without naked people(well..sort of.)huh?! hehe! next year we'll all be spending our summer in Manila. Manufacturing Pharmacy, baby. set aside MOA, heck, we'll go to Baguio! hahaha..
these are the fun times i remember about my summer. or at least some of the things i remember about my summer. i guess there are just some things that you could only do in summer. moreover, the summer of your childhood life.
and gimme some buko juice again please..*swallows the buko juice...with the buko shell!*
P.S. i've been typing this entry for exactly 2 days. it's kinda late. and this is a valuable tip for everybody; procrastinating makes your entry a crappy 0ne!
summer only comes once a year, so u better enjoi the sun! now! =)
