Shell Robbery / Shoot-out

WHOAH! cool-ness! but too bad I wasn't there to witness the incident as it happened.

It was probably somewhere between 11-1230. I was home then (break namin eh). When I went back to school, someone asked if I had witnessed it (and of course, told me everything about it na as well). I was so envious of those who were there, who got to see it live! may nabaril pa daw! oh man!

I wanted to go to the crime scene but I had a class eh... actually, just as I (with Bea) was about to go down to get to view the scene from the 1st floor window fronting Select, I bumped into the prof for my class at that time. I asked if I could go down to check it out. Thankfully, we bumped into him. At least, we didn't have to go all the way down to the 1st floor, the scene could be viewed from one of the rooms in the 4th floor. DARN! IT WAS SO COOL! You could actually see the blood left on the ground, right in front of the armored van.


Turns out, another one of my classmates (Marc A.) and some others were actually there, right outside Select when it happened. They were on their way back to school but decided to suddenly hide as the shooting began. They hid behind some car. Funny part was that car where they hid was actually the robbers' car! As soon as the robbers left (yep, nakatakas daw ung mga robber eh. daw ha. daw.), with the car, they run back to school na. If I understood right, I think they RAN AMIDST THE BULLETS. I think that's how it went, cos someone (a CI) told him that what they did was dangerous (running in the middle of the shooting festival), they should have just lain flat on the ground.

haha. oh how fun! hope that I could have been there to witness the shooting extravaganza! galore un! haha! SADISTIC?!

ice ice baby

ICE! well, just wanted to "dedicate" some short post of some sort to my beloved friend, tabs! grabe! still quite on a high from last night. cant believe i was that hyper at the "after-party". was I drunk or something? hehe, seriously.

well, love you tabs. thanks for the wonderful food, i think. hehe. napakain kami ni bea eh! we couldn't resist second rounds! then after, feeling so guilty. sorry for the extremely short message i gave you (like one sentence?). I honestly didn't prepare anything. that's my mistake. you know how i don't like elaborating kasi, and i know you know how much WE love you and how glad we are na you're our ka-barkada (NOT! hehe.) see? another thing, i can't really be serious in stuff like that. we were even fooling you right up to the very last minute that we surprised you in the car. of course we would never ditch you in your party. it's only your debut so far that i've accepted the invitation to. I practically FORCED myself to go (hehe. you know that, i was telling you I was getting lazy to go cos of our hectic sked).

Tabs, Ice, Carlann... well, you know we'd always be there for you. we got your back. even if we always make fun of you (misplaced?; look what Bea done??!) hehe. think of it this way, at least you make us laugh, you're the life of the party. hehe. actually, we all are in our own unique ways, 'royt?! hehe. luvshooo!!!!

my Anatomy & Physiology Lab exam

well, nothing, i just had to express my joy in this post... no matter how short it may be.

Got to know my exam result to my ana lab exam taken yesterday.... I got a 96%! wohooo! Too bad though.. just 4 points and I would have aced the exam (just like I did during my midterm exam in Biostat and last year's Algebra exams! ha!! beat that!). aaw.... I should have studied, even a bit (instead of spending the weekends making "paseo", as my goddaughter calls it) then maybe I would have gotten a 100% there as well. But oh, well... 96% without absolutely any form of studying. that's somehow good I guess, for ana..

HIM

HE is but a loser
HE doesn't deserve even a part of me
HE has done nothing but cause me hurt over the time flown,

without even his conscious knowing

yet WHY do I still feel this way

WHY do I still care

WHY am I still being demented

WHY do I still love

WHY do I stil find myself longing for him

WHY do I still keep thinking about what could have been

when what could have been is much better than what couldn't have been at all

WHY do I still keep hoping

HOPING that someday he'd realize

HOPING that someday all my desired would come

*** Wrote this while I was at church, supposedly listening to some boring seminar. Well, at least I got myself pre-occupied for, like, 5 minutes?! It was this 4th Grand Cenacle thing-y and I had to stay there from the 1pm mass all the way till the usual 6pm anticipated mass.

Anxiety

Okay, so I was supposed to be happy for yesterday... WE were all happy that we made it through the CPR (even went as far as congratulating ourselves) but I guess we celebrated too soon...

Received news this morning that A LOT OF US FAILED. yes, bummer. If the passing rate was 75%, about 10-15 people failed... BUT... if the passing was 81 (which is our normal passing rate), HALF THE CLASS FAILED!

oh man...

I mean, technically, I shouldn't be scared. I'm realy one of those people who can be considered as impossible-to-fail. It's impossible for me to fail, literally. Classmates (and CIs as well) were shocked to know that even I myself felt scared for the CPR. They knew I could get by it without any problems. But even so, I can't underestimate the fact that the class got THAT LOW a result. There's still that small possibility. I may be one of those on the borderline. I'm scared. quite scared.

Although, there's nothing much to fear, I know. The CPR is just the first of a four-part screening program. There'll soon be the APSA-ANP to face, as well as the Battery Exam. Apart from those two coming exams, our grades will also be part of those that will help us in getting into the next level. All I need to do right now is bank up on my grades and await the coming exams (not to mention final exams next week as well). And, in a way, I am excited and looking forward to those exams (as I do love having exams...hehe. I know, weird.)

I'm ALIVE!

Never thought breathing felt this good.

It's our CPR (Comprehensive Panel Revalida) today. I was number 5 (got to know last week, we got to pick numbers from the container). Yeah, sure, I wanted to be either # 5 or 6 (so I was pretty darn lucky!) but I preferred 6 more (as it's my fave number)... unfortunately, Jvix didn't want to switch with me, waaah! so mean! hehe. So, today came... only the first 10 could stay in the 3rd floor, all the rest had to wait in the caf.

Listed here are the top 6 ( like you'd even know them haha!). I usually focus on the person right before and after me but today I tried to take note of all those before me as well, so these are the only ones whose order I'm sure of:

1. Joan C.
2. Rox U.
3. Mira P.
4. Gilbert D.
5. Femi E.
6. Jvix G.

I was scared alright, but you can't really call it nervousness... I was still somehow carefree. But the moment Gilbert went out, OKAY. I started going stiff. literally. and the CIs had to make me wait out (more torture!). By the time was called in, I didn't know how to act... should I wait for some signal or should I just go ahead and start introducing myself already (esp. since one of my panelists wasn't there yet). Luckily, Ms. Sue (my CI and also the other one of my panelists) had entered the room and now told me to introduce myself, so I did. Sir Nathan told me to pick my topic from the rolls of paper in the container, after which, he told me to read it to them. As I unrolled the piece of paper I got, I was relieved. I got topic number 9! That was Assessment of the Skin, Nails, Hair, Ears, Neck; BP by palpation; obtaining BP! Those topics I loved! BP! The hard thing though was that it was so hard to palpate the patient's pulse. It was thready.

I was still pretty nervous inside the NSk but the moment I got out, oh you should have seen me. I was in a state of euphoria. It probably showed on my face since people noticed a big huge grin plastered on my face and they were asking me how it went! Oh, it felt so good to have it over and done with. And luckily as well, the moment I got out, I spotted my best buds there and got to get a hug from Carisse as I released all the tension that built up within me over those few minutes.

happy....yet anxious

To breathe a sigh of relief. Oh, it feels so good. My day went along perfectly.

Ana Lec - got 2 recitation tickets. One was from defining the function of the rugae in the stomach and another for tracing the path of digestion. YAY! so happy, especially for the last one where I was able to trace the flow of food from the oral cavity to the anal canal (and I'm not talking about naming only the major organs). Even my prof seemed amazed cos everyone was just trying to get things together, memorizing it and stuff ... and I was already raising my hand, ready to answer... this was exactly right after discussion. My classmates even asked me to recite it again, slowly, so they could jot it down. Should've asked the teacher for another ticket for me having to enumerate it all over again. DARN! haha!

Ana Lab - had some quizzes on the Respiratory system. Pretty easy despite the fact that I didn't study at all (well, except for memorizing the pulmonary volumes and capacities and also the pathway of air). It was really hard to study cos of Jvix (ha! special mention ha! hehe)! He was (as usual) so talkative and i kept trying to shush him but he just keeps annoying me and telling me all sorts of stories. hmm... but anyway, thanks to him, at least I didn't have to strain my brain studying further when I didn't need any more information. Yes, luckily, aside from those I memorized, all were stuck knowledge (well, for me anyway).

After the quizzes, we had some activities. We decided to segregate our group. Kari, Ritchy, Gilbert, and Rao would do the experiments as Jvix, Mari, Ate Chris and I do the lab exercises. And what happened? haay, ayun. let's just say B.I. sina Jvix at Mari as nahawa ako sa mga kakulitan nila. ayun. haha. pero it was fun naman. At least the exercise is due on Monday pa. haha.


BREAK - the most awaited event. Lunch at Joan's place. Plan was that we would do the cooking. I don't know what happened, we got there and voila! lunch was already prepared. and oh man, sira ang mga diet namin! ang sarap ng food. Joan's mom prepared seafood pasta (so yum-yum) plus there were 2 huge boxes of pizza from Big Apple. Especially loved the seafood pizza. As for dessert, this type of kakanin was served and also, ice cream. BEN AND JERRY'S!!! (umm, tama ba?) super super yummy! there were 2 flavors: banana split... and I forgot the other one but it was banana too with nuts (i think) and DARK CHOCOLATE (my fave)! (halatang un lang kinain ko noh, ung dark chocolate lang. hehe)

PHC - wala lang, quiz lang. but started late eh (started at 4 instead of the usual 330). So as I was waiting for the time, I spotted Bea and Diana in the faculty room, talking with Sir Medina (Ana prof) so I stayed over with them muna. And sir mentioned to them how good I was... awww, sir. thank you! :) hehe. grabe! it was so fun. ang kulit ni sir!!! hehe. and Bea and Di too, they were keeping him for that long. Imagine. I spotted them at about 345? I had to go in at 4, for class, took the quiz, and when I went out, they were still there talking. Since I wasn't about to go home yet, I stayed with them na. We were just there until 530 and Bea still didn't want sir to go... awww. hehe. anyway...

My current anxiety: tomorrow's RLE... medication administration. ID, IM, Subcu. haay, good luck naman sa ret dem. *gulp*
