This article brought me back to that day that I confessed to my guy friend. It wasn't "love" that I confessed but rather my "liking" for him and for being true to myself. Bruh, it wasn't easy. My confession took a lot of time of thinking when to confess, how, where, and if he already knows that I like him or not. It wasn't peer pressure, but letting off some emotional pressure on myself before I embark to a journey towards my dream. I humbly received the rejection and I'm happy that I got my message clear accross.
Looking back, I did regretted a bit and thought of what ifs. But now, I dont regret my choice and the confession I made is considered as my personal badge for being BRAVE. Even if I confessed or not, we will surely grow apart due to time and space (location?) but the friendship and the times spent with each other will always be a valuable part of our lives.
I'm happy that I made a bold move at a young age but mature enough to let that season pass me by. A month to go and it's already been four years since I've done it. Ah, the good times, I guess :)

Going solo
Living independently isn't all about fun and carefree life, this will test you if you're to survive, alone. Yes, starting today, mag-isa na lang ako sa apartment. This is it, ang araw na kinakatakutan ko noong bata pa ako. Honestly, I don't want to live alone dahil isa akong "linta" (based on our psych review, which is "dependent'). Many people couldn't believe that I'll be able to continue life even without Nanay because I really depend my life on her. She does everything for me, like waking up early to prepare my breakfast and so on. Gaya nga ng sabi ko kanina, eto yung araw na kinakatakutan ko, yung araw na iiwan na ako ni Nanay dahil matanda na ko at kelangan ko ng mabuhay mag-isa dahil kelangan ko ng magtrabaho. Well, in my present case, medyo napaaga ata.
It's not the first time na namuhay ako mag-isa sa apartment. Last year, I was left alone here dahil umuwi ng Palawan yung kasama ko dito dati. So, mga 3 weeks akong nag-isa rito. Actually, nag-enjoy ako mag-isa, and dun ko lang nalaman na OC pala ako pag mag-isa sa bahay. Pag may konting kalat, walis agad at kelangan naka-ayos lahat ng bagay :) Medyo di nga lang nakakatuwa na tulog ako sa umaga at gising ako sa gabi bilang paranoid si Lola na baka pasukin ako ng magnanakaw o di kaya atakihin sa puso. As far as what I learned, RHD will not result to heart attack, unless sepsis. Haha. And for the first time, biglaang nag-overnight ang EB 11-12 bilang gabi na sila umalis ng school nun. Haha, inuman agad sa bahay. Then nag-overnight din si Ate Reich after nung Tagaytay trip naming dalawa. :)
Struggles: Di ako marunong magluto. Prito maybe? Hahaha. Sain, prito, laga ng itlog, luto ng noodles lang alam ko. Nagsisi talaga ako na di ako nagpaturo kay Nanay magluto nung bata pa ko dahil confident ako na makakasama ko pa sya ng matagal. Next, mahirap maglaba. Nung bata pa ko, gustung-gusto ko maglaba kasi ginagaya ko si Nanay dati. At bilang sakiting bata ako, konting babad lang sa tubig, sipon na agad. Poor me. Buti na lang may washing machine kami, unluckily sira yung dryer. Then isa pang struggle sakin eh yung pagkakahiwa-hiwalay nung mga damit base sa kulay. Hay jusko! Marunong naman ako sa ibang gawaing-bahay maliban lang sa dalawang yan.
At dahil sa mga nakwento ko, pwede na ring sabihin na buhay prinsesa ako mula pagkabata. Haha. Medyo ganun na nga. Ang kelangan ko lang gawin noon, mag-aral. No choice, nakakapagod kaya maglaro, and take note, di ako pwede sa mga sports eme dahil sakiting bata ako. Pero di naman ako yung bata na kelangang may breakfast in bed at kelangan pa ng seremonyas. No, normal din naman akong bata noon. Since pagsasaing at prito lang ang alam ko, yun yung kadalasang pinapagawa sakin. Tapos ina-assist ko rin si Nanay magluto at si Lola pag nagsasaing (Pag si Lola ang nagsaing, parang pagkain ng maysakit, Lugaw). Ako rin yung taga-tikim sa bahay, haha, pinakamasarap na trabaho ever. Nagwawalis din ako, at required na ako yung maglinis ng kwarto ko kasi ako lang nakakaalam ng mga ganap dun. Ang masasabi kong "dirty job" ko dati, ang magpa-apoy nung uling or kahoy kapag nagsasaing (Buhay probinsya at it's finest). Every summer, ako ang naka-toka sa pagsasaing, pamamalengke, paglilinis ng kusina, paghuhugas ng plato, pagwawalis ng bahay, at pagpapakain sa pitong pets namin (cats, dogs, fishes, love birds). Since around 11am eh ready na yung lunch, as early as 9am eh nagpaparikit (tama ba yung nagpaparikit? haha, di ko alam! basta nagpapaapoy yun!) na ko sa kahoy (swerte kung uling!). Jusko, halos mamaga na mata ko sa kaluluha kasi ang sakit sa mata nung usok at ihip ako ng ihip. At bilang dakilang tamad ako, binubuhusan ko na lang ng gaas. HAHA. Minsan naman pinapaypayan ko nung nigo (Nigo din ba tawag sa tagalog nung ginagamit na pantalop sa bigas?), eh pinagbawalan ako ni Lola kasi *insert pamahiin here*. Halos isang oras ang struggle ko ha! Well, nung una lang yun no! Sa pamamalengke naman, naka-budget na mga bibilhin ko. Madalas ako bumili sa mga suki namin kaya madali na lang yung pamimili. Gusto ko yung humihiwa ako ng bituka ng isda tsaka nung gills. Haha. Kunwari duguan yung daliri ko :P
Present struggle: Ang magising ng maaga at i-budget ang 500 pesos (hangga't di pa dumarating yung next allowance ko). Struggle magising ha, maliban sa stressed ako sa pagrereview til dawn, eh feeling ko ngayon pa lang yung "inupang" days ko ("inupang"-basta yung period na lumalaki ka. Yun! Basta, mahirap i-explain!). Saan aabot ang 500 pesos ko? Actually di ko alam! Maghihigpit na lang ako ng sinturon sa mga susunod na araw.Huhu, eto na ba yung buhay-unemployed? Eh kung pwede lang di mag NLE, malamang may trabaho na ko no? Di naman ako makapamalengke kasi mahal yung bilihin at di ako marunong magluto. Worse, may Galunggong Ban! Di ako makakaprito ng favorite fish ko :( So buhay-karinderya to death ako. No Starbucks, and fastfoods muna. Siomai rice everyday na lang, pantawid gutom. Huhu. This is the reality of life. Uy ha, di porke prinsesa ako eh di ko kaya mag-cope sa ganito? Pano pa't naging taga-probinsya ako? Haha. :)
Okey, bilang wala akong makausap, dito ko na lang binubuhos yung kadaldalan ko. Eh ganun talaga eh. :)) Hello nga pala sa mga fans ko, lol. Miss ko na yung mga fans kong sina Ate Clar, Dairen, Janice, Cindy at sa mga non-Blogger friends ko na binabasa yung blog ko lalo na pag may gusto ako ikwento na na-blog ko na :)

Mild anxiety
Sabi nga ni Mark Dagli (my former classmate), okey lang magka-mild anxiety dahil healthy ito sa panahon ngayon. Well actually, parang gusto ko pa pindutin ang panic button dahil 21 days na lang at NLE na. Honestly, hindi pa ako ganun ka-ready sa NLE. I know my reviewers are all good and I learned a lot from them, but iba pa rin pag ikaw na mismo sa sarili mo. These past few days, my anxiety was pretty relieved when I visited Nanay's grave. It was nice to share my thoughts and feelings to her kahit na nakikita naman nya ako at nababasa nya kung ano naiisip ko.
I wanna scold myself again for skipping my class earlier. Di ko kinaya magising dahil antok na antok ako sa kaka-self review. Siguro ganun talaga, sa lahat ng ginagawa mo, may mga bagay kang kelangang sina-sacrifice. Even though di ako pumasok, I still made my day a productive one. Yeah, productive dahil nagreview naman ako mag-isa. I reviewed some of my MedSurg concepts and answered some sample questions. Now, I just finished anwering a pre-board preparation exam and unluckily, I failed. I know that disappointments will come my way to tear me down, but no, I won't let it ruin my dream! I still have few more days to go to study and make things "perfect." As far as I observed, di naman ako totally bobey sa ilang questions eh, medyo nagkakamali lang ako dahil sa clinical judgments ko. Yes, we need to stick and follow a certain judgment para maging tama ang sagot namin. Di pwedeng eto-yung-gusto-ko judgment, dapat may clinical basis.
I really envy my classmates who have their study buddies. Iba pa rin kasi yung may kasama ka mag-review kasi may nakaka-share ka ng knowledge and insights. And I pity myself for being a loner dahil nagso-solo ako sa mga bagay na may makakasama naman ako. I admit that Im good when it comes to group review, ewan ko ba, napansin ko lang to nung 1st year college pero hindi ko na nagawa after nun. Any, going solo is really a struggle dahil nung una pa lang, di ko alam kung paano ko sisimulan yung mga bagay bagay. Chaos lang talaga. Last week, I asked my classmate na kung pwede kaming mag-review sa apartment nya since solo lang sya. She agreed pero nung huli, waley na. One reason why I wanted her to be my review buddy because her notes are all complete (and since I skipped a lot of our sessions, I badly need her copies). Hay, feeling ko lang tuloy parusa sakin to dahil andami kong absences. :( Last Wednesday, I asked another classmate of mine to get me some copies of MedSurg since I will be going somewhere and she agreed. Then yesterday, I asker her about those copies and told me that she forgot to get some extra copies for me. I really felt bad, parang wala na ata akong maaasahan. But then again, I blamed myself because it's still my fault anyway. Umasa ako sa isang tao na wala namang pakialam sa classmate nya. Sorry for this pero para sakin naging "selfish" sya in a way na parang wala man lang syang empathy, and kasalanan ko rin kasi iba yung inuna ko. Minsan talaga fail ako pagdating sa decision-making.
Kahit na medyo may struggle ako sa review, there are still a lot of people who makes me feel loved and empowered. Thanks to my Advo family for cheering me up and for reminding me to "top the board exam." I know it's hard to reach and still impossible as of this moment, but who knows, miracle might just happen in June 2-3 :) Thank you to my ate-slash-classmate who scolds me whenever I skip classes, arrive late in our review, and tweet while taking the exams. Thank you ate for making me feel guilty when you scold me, feeling ko tuloy may nanay ako sa review ;) Thank you also to a friend of mine na lagi akong pinagsasabihan na nag-cut ng class pag nahuhuli nya ako sa Twitter. Sorry pows. If you happen to read this, 2 days after mo mag-tweet, absent uli ako. Sorry for breaking my promise again.
Lastly, thank you Blogger for being there for me. Actually medyo nahihiya ako kasi naturingan akong writer pero pansin ko lang sa last post ko, sabog na sabog yung diwa ko. And I don't purely write in English. Pero sabi nga ni Dairen sa post nya dati, mas okey pag Filipino kasi mae-express mo talaga yung nararamdaman mo.
I still have a lot of time to review, no need to stress myself. I'll just enjoy answering those questions and nail the board exam. 21 days to go, at kelangan ko ng patunayan na si Future Nurse Lei, magiging Registered Nurse Lei :)

#ICAPSLOCKMOPARAINTENSE
These past few days, di ko maintindihan sarili ko. Ewan ko ba kung anong nangyayari sakin? Signs of aging na ba to or what?
Earlier, asa duty ako sa QI. I seem so okay naman pero nung dumating ako ng FEU, I don't know what happened. Bigla na lang akong nagbehave na parang wala sa sarili, KJ. 6pm ako dumating sa school tapos mga 6:20 lumabas ako sa EB pav at natulog. Sakto nagising ako eh 7:30 na then bumalik nung andun na si Janice. Asa office nun ang Sports (cindy, rogie, rj), Photos (armen, marione), EB (jerome, etc). Low-pitched pa naman boses ko kanina tapos sabay sabi na "Tara, uwi na tayo (Janice). Mata-traffic pa tayo" sabay labas. So nagmukhang nag-walk out ako, na kung ide-describe ni Jerome ay "storm-out exit." Actually I don't mean to do that "storm-out exit" thing, kaso feeling ko I'm in an awkward situation na di ko maintindihan. Since asa labas na ko, diretso CR na lang ako nun. And napagtanto ko na ang bobey ko for leaving the office like that. Ano na naman ba pumasok sa utak ko? Kumu-quota na ko sa pagiging bobey. Bumalik lang ako ng FEU para may makasamang mag-milk tea sa Moonleaf. Tapos nung inaaya na ako ni Don, ayoko pang sumama. "What's going on, Lhea?" tanong ni Facebook. Nung pauwi na, ganun pa rin ako, walang pagbabago.
pagdating ng apartment, napahiga na lang ako. Super blanko utak ko. Ewan ko ba? Napa-facebook na lang ako sabay nood ng 2012. I even texted Joshua pa pala, telling that I'm not okay (well, as if he really cares, or wala na namang load since single na naman ang lalaki). Si Jerome lang talaga yung naglakas-loob na nagtanong sakin tungkol dun sa ganap ko kanina. Hayy. I even shared some hints in Twitter that Im not okay. Minsan kasi pag nasanay na yung ibang tao na lagi kang okay, di na rin nila namamalayan kung kelan ka hindi. It happens to me all the time. Sometimes I really hate people na nandadamay ng kabadtripan nila sa mga taong walang alam. Well in my case, I'm having this internal struggles that i cant even explain.
Super pili lang ata mga nakausap ko ng medyo matino tonight. Yung iba, one-liner reply lang, yung iba trip ko lang replyan, may mga importante lang talaga, etc. Nagtext si JH dahil dun sa 2012 at resmet nya, na nireplyan ko lang ng isang nursing-related thing, si Ate Chin na iniisip na baka hormonal imbalance lang ang ganap ko, at si tito June Ace na gusto kong makausap kasi andami ko ng utang sa kanya :)))
May mga bagay pa akong ayaw ko pang i-share dito kasi baka matingnang rason kung bakit ako nagkakaganito (which is, di ko alam kung related ba o hindi).
Hayy, sana hormonal imbalance lang to, sana normal lang to. Siguro stress lang o kung ano pa man. hayy.

When awkwardness strikes
Kung kelan matutulog na ko, dun na naman ako nagka-urge mag-blog. Anyway, fast post lang kasi ayokong ma-BV til tomorrow and I still have a lot of work to do.
I hate myself for having this awkward feeling sa taong super dalas ko kasama. Well, he already knows about "it", so since kanina yung 1st time na nagkita kami ngayong pasukan, nagaganap na naman yung peg ko nung November na "walang-pansinan-kasi-wala-naman-akong-sasabihin" or yung "so-ano-naman-kung-andyan-ka?-so-kelangan-may-sasabihin-ako?". Ayan na naman tayo sa pride or pagiging overthinker ko. HAHA, kaya natalo kami sa Advolympics kasi masyado kaming nag-iisip sa isang petty na bagay. Moving on, pinansin ko lang sya dun sa haircut nya (MADAYA!), tapos after nun, puro indirect convo na.
Feeling ko nagiging scripted na galaw ko. Im too conscious of my actions. Hello? may huhuli ba sakin kung tatawa ako ng malakas? Since di ko na rin gusto yung ganap eh kinausap ko na si Don at inaya ko sya sa quad. Isang factor kaya nagiging awkward ako ay dahil sa pang-aasar nung mga kasamahan ko. It's okay na magloko-loko pero wag naman yung andyan yung tao. Tama si Don na kapag over na, kelangan eh kausapin mo na yung taong concerned para matapos na. Im not comfortable anymore. And besides, since he knows about it, baka may maisip sya. Ugh, im overthinking again! Stop it Lhea.
Pwede pang lumala tong awkwardness sa loob ko since I wont be seen in action sa school for almost 5 days. Asa school lang ako every Wed (free day nya) and Thursday (6pm naman labas nya). So wala talaga akong oras to fix this awkwardness. Ayokong mauwi sa impaired friendship to, pero.... Ugh, ang hirap ikwento dito sa blog eh. BASTA!

Go for it
"Go for it" na siguro ang pinaka-overused na sinasabi sakin ng mga friends ko. Well, pagdating sa lovelife ang kaso.
So this blog knows everything when it comes to my love-este-crush life. Yeah, I actually like someone from my org, and you guys already know who he is. We're actually close buds and we share each others' secrets and other stuffs.
Recently, he posted a status in his Facebook "chemical engineering board exam results <3". So, without any malice, I immediately liked it (though he posted it 9 mins ago before I cliked the "like" button, and no one has yet liked it). Then after few minutes, he deleted it. And by that action, I pondered why he erased it. The next day, yun na lang ang iniisip ko. Andami kong naisip, super dami like.... ah basta, akin na lang yun. I even asked my groupmates about his action and they gave me a lot of scenarios. HAY.
Nung hapon, I was shocked na magccover din pala sya ng Track and Field (na iccover ko rin!). Pagdating dun, I had a chance to ask him about that, pero pa-joke naman. Ang hirap kasi ikwento dito. Pero ayun, he just laughed na parang wala lang. Well, gaya nga ng sabi ni Chelsea, "baka dahil sa may pinagsamahan sila". May ugali kasi ako na pag may sasabihin ako, pinapahulaan ko pa sa kanya. Ang gulo diba? Example: May sasabihin ako sayo. Hulaan mo :) Parang ganun. Kasi kilala naman din nya ako eh. Nung mga nakaraan nga eh, halos wala na akong ikkwento kasi alam na nya. Haha, galing!
Seriously, selosa po ako. HAHAHAHA. Di halata. Kung pwede nga lang bakuran sya, gagawin ko na. Lol. Ang hirap pala pag friend mo yung gusto mo. Oh well, mas nauna ko sya maging crush kesa maging friend. Kaso after team building, mas nanaig yung friendship. Ngayon kasi ang gulo ng utak ko. Pag nagka-gf sya, pwede na mag Dec.21 anytime, handa na ako! LOL.
I know na focus muna sya sa studies nya, and Im happy to hear that. Haha, may sinabi pa sya kaso di pwede i-share. Char. Sorry for acting this way, ganito lang siguro yung feeling ng ga-graduate na tapos wala pang ganap sa lovelife mula pumasok ng FEU. Feeling ko parang end of the world na, NBSB pa rin ako. Pressure ba? LOL.
Lately, nagiging conscious na ako sa mga galaw ko, though gusto kong maging natural lang kasi awkward din yun sa parte ko. Una, isa akong napaka-annoying na tao, madaldal na, maingay pa, tapos magulo at makulit din. Sinong hindi maiinis at maiirita sakin. Minsan kasi ayoko ng taong naka-simangot at tahimik. Feeling ko mahahawa ako sa pagiging lowbat nilang tao. Like yesterday, dumating ako sa venue na tahimik sya tapos nakatingin lang sa kawalan. So ayun, kinukulit ko sya. Ganun lang.
Tsaka ramdam ko, there's something wrong with me. Yung mga galaw ko kasi, lakas makapang-friendzone. yung friendzone na ako yung nangfi-friendzone at ako yung nafi-friendzone kasi very tropa ako gumalaw. parang ganun. Di rin kasi ako malambing eh. Kay Nanay at Lola lang ako ganun. Sa iba, hindi na. :D Siguro, yung masasabi kong lambing eh yung akbay, sandal ulo, tsaka pag-aayos ng bangs nya. HAHAHA. ganun lang. Di rin kasi ako cuddly na tao. Di ako mahilig mang-hug tapos di rin ako malambing magsalita, uhh, minsan malambing din. Depende sa sitwasyon. :)
Ang hirap kasi kumempet sa taong di marunong magreciprocate sayo. Sabi ng mga groupmates ko, kemehin (landiin) ko raw. Eh pasensya kayo day, di ako marunong gumanun. HAHA. Well, poor me ba? Lol. Di kaya. Babaeng torpe po ako gaya ng sinasabi ni Donabels (Don Carlo). HAHAHAHA. Eh ito namang lolo nyo, di ata marunong kumempet! Aba, nagsama na kami. Buti pa malalandi, nakakakahanap ng kasing lalandi nila o naaattract sa malalandi. Eh ako naman ayoko sa mga malalandi eh. :D Moving on, di ko alam kung manhid ba sya o hindi. Well, baka yung friendship namin yung mga-hold back sa kanya. Eh tropa nga kasi kami eh.
Yung iba kong friends, iba naman din advice nila, like "I-feel mo lang muna ang mga moment nyo na ganyan", "Di pa nya alam kung ano gusto nya", "baka di nyo pa time ngayon", "Darating din kayo dyan, hintayin mo lang". Ang tanong, kelan pa? pag gumraduate na ako? Wow, do I sound like desperada sa lovelife? Di naman uy! grabe kayo ha. Ganito lang kasi yung feeling ng magkakahiwalay na kayo ng tao, ilang months na lang eh. Mamimiss ko yung mga times na nagccover kami ng magkasama, magdi-dinner ng magkasabay, chismisan sa byahe, magkasamang naglalakad, magme-merienda sa hepalane or tayuman, magpapasama sa bookstore o sa pag-iikot ng campus. hay, ramdam ko na yung feeling ni Dairen dati.
Basta! Come what may. bahala na si batman! :D

Yung iba kong friends, iba naman din advice nila, like "I-feel mo lang muna ang mga moment nyo na ganyan", "Di pa nya alam kung ano gusto nya", "baka di nyo pa time ngayon", "Darating din kayo dyan, hintayin mo lang". Ang tanong, kelan pa? pag gumraduate na ako? Wow, do I sound like desperada sa lovelife? Di naman uy! grabe kayo ha. Ganito lang kasi yung feeling ng magkakahiwalay na kayo ng tao, ilang months na lang eh. Mamimiss ko yung mga times na nagccover kami ng magkasama, magdi-dinner ng magkasabay, chismisan sa byahe, magkasamang naglalakad, magme-merienda sa hepalane or tayuman, magpapasama sa bookstore o sa pag-iikot ng campus. hay, ramdam ko na yung feeling ni Dairen dati.
Basta! Come what may. bahala na si batman! :D

NBSB talks :)
Last night, I was with Dairen, Beatty and Don. Yeah, the so-called NBSB bonding. I really enjoy the company of my fellow NBSB since they usually share their not-so-good experiences with their keme. And as the one who's next in line (ahem, soon to be alum), they also see themselves in me. HAHA. Mega relate?
When it comes to Beatty and Dairen, they have a contrasting personalities. Beatty: fierce artist. Dairen: soft-spoken writer. Beatty always tell me to do like this and like that. Something different. Nuff said. While Dairen will just give you some advices that is different from Beatty. Basta, ganun yun!
Since I got to bond with Beatty once every week, last night was the time to share some of my "keme stories" with Dairen. She knows who's the person concerned. Ayun, I learned a lot from her past experiences. Of course relate ako kasi nga NBSB kami. But Im happy that I got to listen from their stories. Sabi nga ni Dairen "I dont want you to learn the hard way". :3
Tapos ako naman, andami kong kwento kay Sib Dairen about kay JH. Well, iba naman din kasi talaga kami nina Sib and her keme. Tropang-tropa lang talaga kami ni Ji Hoo. Kaya may malisya kasi gusto ko sya, and madalas kami magkasama (pero pag kami ni Don magkasama, super waley! HAHA). Sabi nga ni Sib "kaya kayo laging magkasama or nagkkwento sya kasi comfortable na sya sayo" (which I think is soo true). Yes, we talk about our past kemes and related stuffs, pero kwentuhang just for fun and entertainment lang. Ako lang kasi talaga may hanash magkwento haluan mo pa ng nursing brutality and jargons ko :)
JH: Hoping ka pa ba?
Me; Noooo. Paki-stab to death nga yung bwisit na yun sa Tuesday!
Another quotable quote from Dairen. "Sabi ko kay June Ace, ieeenjoy ko na lang to kasi graduating na ako. kaso ayun..."
HAHAHA. Since malapit na ako sa finish line, i was thinking kung sasabihin ko ba kay JH na bet ko sya o hindi? Well, sabi nung ibang friends ko, alam na raw nya (feel lang nila). Eh baka kasi mas tumagilid pa pag nagsalita ako. I'll just let destiny do its magic. tsaka ayoko paka-stress, ineenjoy ko na lang tong last sem ko :) Gusto kong gawing memorable to :)
@Sib: Thanks sa pagpapatuloy sakin. Sorry di kita pinatulog sa sobrang daldal mo. Feeling ko talaga eh mababawasan na ang circle natin, marami ng nagmamahal. HAHAHA. Last man standing kaya ako sating lahat? Wag naman! :))

Aside
This evening, nakumpleto ang "Don's Angels", with me, Yon, and Beatty. So usually pag magkakasama kami, puro asaran o lokohan lang. And this time, ako ang puntirya nila lalo na ni Beatty Lyn. HAHAHA
It started nung paalis na kami ng office para mag-merienda sa R. Papa. Sabi ni Beatty, mang-invite pa ako, so nang-invite naman ako ng mga iba pang friends namin. Eh syempre tropa, puro malisya na naman kina Yon and Beatty bilang nasa loob si JH at iniisip nila na sasama samin. Nung paalis na kami, lumabas si JH and nakisabay samin til LB. Magre-research pa raw sya sa library kaya separate yung ways namin.
Pagdating ng Hepalane, edi ako ang bida ng tuksuhan. The last time na nag-usap kami ni Beatty, sa Starbucks P.Noval pa.
Me: Beatty, I learned a lot from you since nung last tayo nagkita.
Beatty: eh ano ginagawa mo?
Me: Ayun, di ko pinapansin pag pumapasok ng office. Tapos di magpapansinan, hintayan kung sino unang magsasalita, then pag nagpasama sya/ako sa labas, dun pa kami magdadaldalan.
Beatty; Ba yan Lhea! Very wrong ka!
Me: 2 weeks ko na ginagawa yan eh.
B: Hello? Eh parang iniiwasan mo na yung tao eh! Di ko sinabing tuluy-tuloy, dapat paminsan-minsan lang. Kinareer mo naman?
M: oo, kinareer ko. Sabi mo kasi eh.
B: Hahaha, Nako Lhea wag ganyan, darating yung araw na di na talaga kayo mag-uusap.
M: Ay ganun ba? Aww, sige. Mali pala ako.
B: hay, nakikita ko talaga sarili ko sayo Lhea.
---Kitams, may coach ako o! :) HAHA. Kailangan sumunod sa nakakatanda :)) Ika nga ni Lola "Eksperyensyado na" :)
So, pagbalik ko ng office, di na ko nang-iisnob. Haha, di naman kasi snob yun, nagtitimpi lang ako na di sya pansinin, or di ako dapat ang maunang pumansin sa kanya. Pati si Beatty eh nakakahalata na di kami nagpapansinan.
Moving on, before uwian nagpicture-an kami sa bagong Pavilion. Yeay! Buti na lang maganda ang ilaw! :) Pansin ko yung mga the moves nina Don, Beatty, Yon. HAHAHA. Kayo talaga gumagawa ng paraan eh.
---
Nung pag-uwi ko, nagka-text kami about long weekend and work. Nakakaloka lang kasi mas busy pa sya sakin! Hay, di ko tuloy alam kung mas toxic ang Fine Arts kesa sa Nursing.
Since thesis mode si JH ngayon, andami nyang dalang libro. Ayun, mga 1:30, nagtext sya na nakita raw nya ang Cuyo sa Phil. Tourism book na hiniram nya and ang ganda raw, sarap daw puntahan. HAHA, Kfine. Edi sama na lang sya pag umuwi ako after graduation nya (which is RN na ako nun in god's will!) tapos with Advo friends din. Naiimagine ko ang kaguluhan sa bahay--eh nagsama-sama mga taga Advo eh (Okey lang, ako lang naman ata magiging tao sa bahay pag-uwi ko ng province).
Okey, i need to sleep na! LONG WEEKEND! :))

Usapang K
K is for keme, kempet, kemps, etc. --Keri na? At yan ang ieeexpect mo sa blog kong ito.
SRSLY, matagal na akong walang kempet. Siguro ang pinakahuling matinong kempet ko eh si Joshua pa, pero that was like ages ago na. HAHA. After him, mga dumaang kempet lang na nagpapalipad hangin. Tapos may isa pa na nagse-seryoso na talaga kaso sorry, di ko sya bet eh, "the girl who cant be moved' pa ang peg ko nun.
Moving on, dalawang kempet lang ang ita-tackle ko dito bilang sila ang pinaka-recent. PAUNAWA: Meron bang attorney o judge dito? Kung wala, okeygopushforit tayo.
First: He's a good friend of mine na matagal ko ng crush. Medyo lumamlam nga lang ang ilaw nya sakin nung nagka-kempet ako at after few days eh nagka-kempet na rin sya. Pero aaminin ko, crush ko pa rin sya. :) Come October at waley na akong kempet nun, gusto ko pa rin sya (di ko pa alam na may kempet sya nun).
I admit, mababaw na pagka-crush lang yun nun kasi nga madalas kami magkasama, in and out of school (okaaay, may idea na kung sino!). Di ko rin maalala kung paano kami nagkasundo ng taong to. The last thing I remember eh yung Welcome Freshmen pa na umabsent ako sa 1st day ko sa Rizal then magkasama kaming nag-iikot sa quadrangle.
Last night, nagbabasa ako ng entries ko ng january, and may napansin ako na usapan namin ni older brother about sa kanya.Kasi itong si older brother, may pinapakiusap sakin na medyo di ako sigurado kasi nahihiya ako. Then umabot pa sa tipong pati posts sa FB eh pinag-uusapan namin and kiber lang ako kasi wala kaming communication.
Come May 2012, HORRAY! He's back! At first he was asking me about something na connected sa kanya. I was really hoping na he would come back until nag-tweet etong si crazy friend tungkol sa pagbabalik nya. So balik dating buhay na naman kami, more bondings and more chikahan.
Everything changed nung early September when our older brother left. Parang that prompted him to speak and share his own part or story. That was also the first time I saw him crying. And I was like "uyy! wag kang umiyak! di kita pinapaiyak ha!". I think, anlaking part ng traffic nun na makapag-kwento sya ng super tagal.
I admit na madaldal ako pero I dont ask some sensitive questions right away. I respect their privacy. Pero minsanm di mo inaasahan na yung gusto mong malaman, sila na lang magkkwento sayo. Sa part ko, natutuwa ako na they trust me kasi syempre di madaling magkwento diba?
After few more days and weeks, mas napaparami na ng kwento, mas diverse na ang usapan and minsan sya na rin ang nag-oopen ng topic, tsaka yung mga bagay na bigla nyang maaalala. Honestly, I still act normal around him pero pag wala sya and friends ko lang kasama ko, mukha akong may epilepsy :D
Nitong last week na lang ng October medyo nagka-something. Di naman sya something na may quotations, pero iba lang kasi. Medyo di ko iniisip, not until the "cuddle time" thing came tapos yung sa Batangas pa! HAHA. Recently, sinamahan ko sya sa institute namin para mag-enrol sa isang subject nya. Habang nasa pila, kinwento nya sakin yung hardships nya, makuha lang ang subject na yun. Final na yung IN kasi punuan sa ITHM, kung san pumila sya from AM to PM tapos waley ganap. Nagshare din sya kung paano nya pinaglaban yung subject na yun sa parents nya. Clap clap lang talaga reaction ko. I know na he's doing his best para ma-achieve yung goal nya and alam kong kaya nya yun.
Complete package na sya eh, matalino, mabait, kwela, masipag, dedicated sa ginagawa nya, goal-oriented, talented, and marunong makisama. Isa lang ang medyo di ko bet-- maaga sya matulog. :P 12am tulog nya, ako naman 1am! Pero ayun, I like him as a friend. I really treasure him as one of my closest guy friends na comfortable akong magkwento ng mga ganap and hanash ko sa buhay. :)
Second: isang tao na kapangalan ni former kempet! hahaha, SMALL WORLD. It all started with BBM, and then yung simpleng banat and the rest is... nevermind. Balak ko talaga syang i-basted agad, kaso iniisip ko, sayang tsaka para may makausap din ako paminsan-minsan. Nung una, di talaga ako comfortable kasi bumabaliktad sikmura ko kapag magkausap kami sa bbm. EK! Ganun talaga!
Tapos nung medyo pumo-porma na sya ng "lhea ko", mas di ako naging comfortable. Natutuwa ako sa mga korning bagay, pero meron ding hindi. Sorry, masstereotype ko sya as someone na "player" kaya ayoko ring makipagclose masyado. Though I know he would be a good friend.
Sabi ko nga, imposible namang magka-gusto ako sa kanya kasi may gusto naman akong iba eh. Pero kapag naging something to, baka maungusan pa nya yung isa. HAHA. Which is ayokong mangyari.
Comment: Okey naman sya, keri lang. I cant comment more on him kasi di ko pa sya ganun ka-kilala. and di naman kasi sya nagpapakilala eh. Yung ayoko sa kanya, mabagal magreply, tapos binabasa lang bbm ko ng wlang reply. honestly, ayoko ng lame na kausap (lame sya). HAHA. Ayun!
---YES? May duty pa ako later tapos nagbblog pa ako then ka-BBM ko si Cindy then katext ko naman kanina si Ji Hoo. HAHA. Si Ji Hoo na maaga matulog (cant blame him though, he needs rest).
Good night! Sorry sa isang napaka-walang kwentang entry! Di ko pa masulatan yung diary ko kasi di ko pa tapos yung salaysay ko dun about sa October 12 na ganap ko :)

Backpacking with Ate Reich
Last Saturday, Ate Reich and I went to Tagaytay just to escape the city and to have fun :) We met at Recto Station as early as 8am and rode a bus to Tagaytay in Lawton. We kept on talking and sharing stories until I fell asleep (di ko tuloy nakita yung Imus :P) We arrived in Tagaytay past 10am, the bus dropped off passengers at Olivarez and rode a jeepney to Picnic Grove.
Since I was really hungry that I had headache already, we had our early lunch at a nearby resto. Then went straight to Picnic Grove and took lots of pictures. I missed that place and still reminds me of our roadtrip with Mommy, my cousins and most especially Nanay. We didn't tried zipline yet we walked around and explored the place. After that, we went to People's park in the Sky. Actually I've already been there before that's why I know the place. It was really cold while on the way yet it's cool since you gotta experience the breeze of the wind and made my hair messy. It was the highest part of Tagaytay so we've seen some fogs and enjoyed the cold air in spite of wearing summer attire (knitted sando and shorts), good thing I brought my favorite jacket with me. Going up to the park was a bit tiring and it took us almost 7 minutes to be up there, while going down took us only 4 minutes or less.We had an ample time there to sit down, relax, and continue all the talking. Seeing and feeling (yes! we felt the fogs' coolness with our flesh) the fogs was quite fun. And I was like a 5-year old kid saying "foooooooogs!" :)))) And the place down the PPS was really cool. It will remind you of Forks (Twilight) because of those trees which are similar of that of the film. Since mommy is planning to visit Tagaytay Highlands on June, probably we'll drop by the area, YEAY!
After People's park, we decided to go to Tierra de Maria Shrine in front Developmental Academy of the Philippines. It's a sacred place where you'll see a 50-feet tall statue of Our Lady of Manaoag. People from different places go there and pray for their adorations or wishes. Some things had changed in the place since I last June 2010. Ate and I bought rings with the crucifix in it. Unluckily, the ring that I was able to buy only fitted in my pinkie finger :)) Since we're hungry again, we went to Starbucks near Silang crossing and a beautiful view welcomed us again. It was a lot better if you want to see the volcano closer. The area was as cold as the PPS. To be able to have a better thermoregulation in our body, we had coffee and some bread to feed us. I had signature hot chocolate and my ever-favorite cinnamon swirl while looking at the beautiful scenic view. How I wish I could go near the volcano's crater. I've been interested in geology since I was young. Well, I cant deny that since I have those set of books bought by my mom when I was only a year old then, kept by Nanay and Lola til 4 and discovered those treasures (I mean books) by myself (pakialamera :P). I spent my time lying on my bed with closed door and silence all over then concentrated with my reading. So when Ate and I talked about those stuff, and our geeky selves were unleashed :))
After we ate, we took some pictures and also roamed the place. Then we sneaked in a nearby family resto just to have those photo opts with the place. HAHA. The place was cool and relaxing and there came the fog again so it's cold again. Then, we waited for a bus at 6pm and we're back in Manila by 9pm. And I was sleeping all throughout the trip and Ate Reich, as always, was vigilant and widely awake :))
That was my first time to have a roadtrip by means of commuting. We really had fun :)
Enjoy!

Hey MARCH!
KUMUSTA naman MARCH?
Grabe, feel na feel ko na ang buwan na to. Kung last month eh emotional ako, ngaayon naman eh NGARAG. Kelangang mag-double time para humabol sa grades. Ganun talaga! :)
So ayun nga, sinimulan ko ang buwan na to sa NOL. Feel kong tagilid ako dito, aminado ako, kaso kelangan kong gumalaw na. Eto yung consequence dun sa katamaran ko eh. Sana kahit matapos ko na lang yung Fundamentals, MCN and Psych Nsg. May time pa naman ako. Wala akong masabi sa session kanina, di ako inantok! :))))
Sa Nursing Research naman, nagkakagulo na kami. Sorry naman, 3 groups na raw kami. HAHA. Mabuhay si Azel! :)) Medyo nakakainis lang yung group leader namin, imba yung pagka-authoritative. Nag-eeffort akong maintindihan siya pero iba lang talaga ugali nun. Di siya madaldal pero iba trip niya sa buhay (pake ko sa trip niya sa buhay), tapos madali maimpluwensiyahan, pero matigas ang ulo, taklesa, akala niya siya lang nag-iisip.Pasensiya naman daw, parang hindi mga GC yung mga ka-grupo niya diba? Then, paagkatapos mong magpakapuyat sa &*%$+@!?^ thesis, sasabihan ka pang di nag-iisip? eh &*%$+@!?^ ka! Siya kaya utusan kong gumawa ng article, tignan natin kung makakagawa siya nun. Wagas lang umasta eh. Tapos isa pa, grabe makapag-reklamo, mapa-member man siya o leader. Ewan ko ba, dinadaan sa TANDA yung pagli-lead ng grupo namin pero kung sino pa yung umaastang MATATANDA, yun pa ang kulang sa MATURITY. Grow up KIDDOS, learn to adjust to your members, BITCHES.
Kung di lang ako busy sa ibang bagay, ako na talaga yung magle-lead ng grupo namin. Kaso, how will you lead a group na maraming nagmamagaling, nagpapaka-leader, na utang na loob pa namin na ginagawa niya lahat. Buong buhay ko, leader na ako sa grupo na kasama ako, pero kasi ni minsan di ako nagmalaki na AKO YUNG GUMAWA NG LAHAT. Kahit ako man gumawa, GROUP EFFORT pa rin paningin ko dun. Kumbaga, wag mong solohin ang lahat, kaya nga group eh. Tapos yung iba nagmamalinis pa, nakakainis diba?
MOVING ON!
Nursing Research lec naman, 2.75 ako dun. From 81.6, naging 76.9 (75 kasi base namin). Kainis diba? isang bagsak na quiz at exam lang, bumaba ng ganun? Tapos sasabihin pa ng group leader na ibabagsak niya kami sa peer eval? Subukan niya!
Yung NCA lec naman, tinulugan ko na naman kanina. Buti lang nung hapon, nag-Moonleaf ako kaya di ako inantok sa NOL. HAHA, gising diwa ko eh :D Sayang lang nung nag-exam kami, 1 na lang at 50 na ako. :|
Kahit gusto ko ng BB, iPad, D&G Light Blue perfume, hindi ko na hiningi kina Mommy, Papa at Lola, PRAYERS lang yung hinihingi ko. Alam ko namang darating din kami sa regaluhan part pero kasi mas importante to, STUDIES to eh. I dont wanna falter kung kelan malapit na ako. Konting kembot na lang eh! Tsaka maraming maaapektuhan pag bumagsak ako eh. Alam mo yung may babalikan akong subject, yung nag-iisang subject na di ka makakagraduate kung di mo maipapasa yun. BASTA! Kelangan kong pumasa, PAPASA AKO! :)
Wala na rin akong problem sa section namin maliban lang dun sa nai-confide ko kay Tito Juneys last time. Yung exam na ite-take ko for the second time yung hot topic ngayon. Buti lang di na kelangan magreview dun ah :DD
Dumako naman tayo sa usapang lovelife. EH? Magkatext na naman kami ni Joshua. EK? Nagsimula to nnung birthday ko, tapos natapilok siya kagabi at tinext ako to seek help. PERSONAL NURSE?? Pasalamat siya mabait ako. Sinabihan ko naman kung ano gagawin niya dun sa sprain niya. Ke malas na tao, kung kelan niya balak makipaglaro sa FEU Gym kinabukasan, dun pa natapilok ang loko. HAHA. Paraan na ni God yun na kami maaksidenteng magkita around Morayta. Aba, awkward yun ah. Pero mass masaya lang talaga pag nakasalubong ko siya na may kasama ako, kahit sino basta boylet. HAHA :D Bitterness aside (BITTERNESS ASIDE???), di naman ako apathetic sa kanya nung nagkakatext kami, siguro mas iniisip ko yung mga itetext ko sa kanya. Mahirap na, baka isipin niya eh pinapatulan ko kalandian niya sa katawan. Pasensya na, di kasi ako malandi eh :">
Tapos, eto yung balitang mainit-init pa. (Para sayo 'to Dairen! :'> ). May nakakagulat na tanong lang kasi si Dairen sakin kahapon, kung crush ko raw ba itong si friend (hulaan kung anong institute to). :D So natawa lang ako kasi wala talaga, siguro dahil lang sa kinukulit ko yun nung nakaraan. Eh mas natawa ako kasi ibinalik niya yung time na tinanong niya ako about JH, eh medyo aminado akong di ko sinabi yung totoo kay Dairen :)))) Kinwento ko sa friends ni friend yung sa tinanong ni Dairen, (ang daldal ko lang diba? sorry naman daw, di ako nahiyang i-share kasi di naman talaga totoo). Yung sinagot nung mga friends niya "Di naman si friend yung gusto mo eh, yung FRIEND nung si friend", HAHA, tapos sabay kain sa Hepalane :)))
Pagkatapos nung exam and revalida, papagupit ako ng bangs (di na full bangs ah!) at magpapa-rebond (kung may extra money) :))))
Si Lord na bahala sakin, magpupursigi ako this finals :)
Grabe, feel na feel ko na ang buwan na to. Kung last month eh emotional ako, ngaayon naman eh NGARAG. Kelangang mag-double time para humabol sa grades. Ganun talaga! :)
So ayun nga, sinimulan ko ang buwan na to sa NOL. Feel kong tagilid ako dito, aminado ako, kaso kelangan kong gumalaw na. Eto yung consequence dun sa katamaran ko eh. Sana kahit matapos ko na lang yung Fundamentals, MCN and Psych Nsg. May time pa naman ako. Wala akong masabi sa session kanina, di ako inantok! :))))
Sa Nursing Research naman, nagkakagulo na kami. Sorry naman, 3 groups na raw kami. HAHA. Mabuhay si Azel! :)) Medyo nakakainis lang yung group leader namin, imba yung pagka-authoritative. Nag-eeffort akong maintindihan siya pero iba lang talaga ugali nun. Di siya madaldal pero iba trip niya sa buhay (pake ko sa trip niya sa buhay), tapos madali maimpluwensiyahan, pero matigas ang ulo, taklesa, akala niya siya lang nag-iisip.Pasensiya naman daw, parang hindi mga GC yung mga ka-grupo niya diba? Then, paagkatapos mong magpakapuyat sa &*%$+@!?^ thesis, sasabihan ka pang di nag-iisip? eh &*%$+@!?^ ka! Siya kaya utusan kong gumawa ng article, tignan natin kung makakagawa siya nun. Wagas lang umasta eh. Tapos isa pa, grabe makapag-reklamo, mapa-member man siya o leader. Ewan ko ba, dinadaan sa TANDA yung pagli-lead ng grupo namin pero kung sino pa yung umaastang MATATANDA, yun pa ang kulang sa MATURITY. Grow up KIDDOS, learn to adjust to your members, BITCHES.
Kung di lang ako busy sa ibang bagay, ako na talaga yung magle-lead ng grupo namin. Kaso, how will you lead a group na maraming nagmamagaling, nagpapaka-leader, na utang na loob pa namin na ginagawa niya lahat. Buong buhay ko, leader na ako sa grupo na kasama ako, pero kasi ni minsan di ako nagmalaki na AKO YUNG GUMAWA NG LAHAT. Kahit ako man gumawa, GROUP EFFORT pa rin paningin ko dun. Kumbaga, wag mong solohin ang lahat, kaya nga group eh. Tapos yung iba nagmamalinis pa, nakakainis diba?
MOVING ON!
Nursing Research lec naman, 2.75 ako dun. From 81.6, naging 76.9 (75 kasi base namin). Kainis diba? isang bagsak na quiz at exam lang, bumaba ng ganun? Tapos sasabihin pa ng group leader na ibabagsak niya kami sa peer eval? Subukan niya!
Yung NCA lec naman, tinulugan ko na naman kanina. Buti lang nung hapon, nag-Moonleaf ako kaya di ako inantok sa NOL. HAHA, gising diwa ko eh :D Sayang lang nung nag-exam kami, 1 na lang at 50 na ako. :|
Kahit gusto ko ng BB, iPad, D&G Light Blue perfume, hindi ko na hiningi kina Mommy, Papa at Lola, PRAYERS lang yung hinihingi ko. Alam ko namang darating din kami sa regaluhan part pero kasi mas importante to, STUDIES to eh. I dont wanna falter kung kelan malapit na ako. Konting kembot na lang eh! Tsaka maraming maaapektuhan pag bumagsak ako eh. Alam mo yung may babalikan akong subject, yung nag-iisang subject na di ka makakagraduate kung di mo maipapasa yun. BASTA! Kelangan kong pumasa, PAPASA AKO! :)
Wala na rin akong problem sa section namin maliban lang dun sa nai-confide ko kay Tito Juneys last time. Yung exam na ite-take ko for the second time yung hot topic ngayon. Buti lang di na kelangan magreview dun ah :DD

Press Play 2012
I think, this week was totally a blast. IAS and IN week plus Press Play! :)
This year's Press Play was in La Salle in celebration of their Media Week. This was the tie up of Ateneo's The Guidon and DLSU's The La Sallian. It was an advance seminar for students who are in line with Journalism. Some student publications present was UPHSD, Veritas, Mapua, Letran and FEU.
I definitely learned a lot from this seminar--especially dun sa Investigative Reporting/Journalism in relation with the New Media. Our resource speaker was Mr Ed Lingao of PCIJ and he was also a print and television personality since he wrote for Manila Times before and then a reporter in The Correspondents. Though he only had a short time to discuss everything to us, but he left us with a mark. He gave us tips, motivational messages and also POV's. During the Q&A, I asked him a lot of questions since Im interested with his topic and I see journalism and broadcasting as my last resort since Nursing is kinda...umm, declining. First I asked him if media (broadcasting companies, publications) would accept someone who didn't even finished a Comm course and it's only experience is working in the student publication. So Sir Lingao asked me back if why did I became so interested with journ or broadcasting and I answered him. I wont forget some of the things that he said like "Bago ka pumasok sa broadcasting, dapat unang-una marunong ka magsulat" and "It doesn't matter what you are (nursing student), but it is on how you do it (journalism)". He cited some examples and his own experiences. A producer won't choose you just because you are beautiful, has a fair complexion and white underarms (yeah, he said that), but he will first let you write and then it is the time that he will judge you. Then on field reporting, I also asked him his if he already had a contact on his assigned place, how does he formulate questions..etc. He let us watch some videos from early 2000's especially from ABC5 and ABS-CBN. We saw a lot of familiar faces including Zaldy Ampatuan ( yeah, I was able to recognize him since the setting was in Datu Aguak in Maguindanao. And he was so young then, you won't think that he'll gonna be the mastermind of maguindanao massacre after 9 years!).
Aside from that, he also tackled the rise of new media and the rapid decline of newspapers in the US. It's quite alarming and we teenagers forgot to read newspapers and totally rely on Yahoo which aggregates some top news in mainstream media like NY Times and the likes. According to a website, they predicted the death of newspapers after 5 years. They also made a study on the internet usage of the Filipinos. We are now tagged as the World's Largest Internet Users with 93.3%. Every Filipinos use the internet for 7 hours in a month but in reality, especially here in Manila, 7 hours is just a small number. We can stay up to 12 hours or more during weekends. Actually, we dont fully utilize the internet properly. Some people from the province go to internet shops just to update their statuses and play games but little did they know, they can get a lot of informations. INFORMATIONS in the internet are somewhat viral, even pictures and videos. Well, I cant elaborate more about that cause it seems like Im already lecturing. haha.
Going back, being in media is an adventure. Some may say that news is boring, but hey, you can do a lot of things with news. Others complain that their audiences (students) are very passive in the news that they are publishing, they dont even care on school issues, etc. An editor from a university shared that their newspaper are bring checked first by the admin of their school. The admin wants to make sure that the paper wont give any bad image with their school, but it seems like they (admin) are controlling the press freedom. I dont really know the whole story but it seems to be somewhat like that. Good thing in FEU, we have freedom to publish news which aims to inform the students with the current happenings and issues and the admin doesn't check our galley before we send it to the publishing house. I wonder if we are in the same situation with that editor. hmm. Hey! Where am I heading to? I thought this blog was about my adventures today?
Going back again, we had our lunch at their canteen. It has the same ambiance with EB canteen and the also have big fans like those on Pav 2. While roaming around, I somewhat felt that "college vibe/ambiance". I dunno why but I like La Salle's vibe, it's kinda different (well, maybe because it was a big university and it is in a different location. hmm, pwede). People there loves to wear statement shirts of DLSU and are very simple. The La Sallian's staffers are very hospitable especially their (very cute, ahem) ME and the funny girl (whose actions are very Maskom, like she called scissors as "jonting". COOL!) Someone from the staff looks like Enchong Dee (the slimmer version), and I thought that guy was a celebrity. haha.
On our second session, we agreed on Photojourn since majority of us went to IR and Jude was separated since he joined the Visual Arts seminar. To our surprise, the speaker, who was a La Sallian and Manila Bulletin photographer was an acquaintance of Jude! They knew each other during UAAP Men's basketball tournament last semester, and! he's an RR Garcia fan (can you believe that?! definitely cool!). He gave us basic knowledge on photojournalism and important points. I may not be a photographer but Im really interested on pictures (maybe because I easily remember pictures than words.. something like that.) He also shared his NINJA stories (Jude, alam mo yan!), which are quite risky and adventurous! "Photographers go to places that other people fears to go" (parang ganun ata).
After the seminar, I asked Kuya Andrew about Joel (my acquaintance from ITH) but they know him as Tim (his nickname) and I told them that we know each other months ago, and kinakamusta ko siya (we had a nice talk during ITH). And then, all of them said "Ayieee", and I just laughed. Their ME invited us for a snack and then attend also their party. I was thrilled since it's gonna be my first time to attend their party but unluckily, my advo mates wants to go home early. So we just roamed around the La Salle campus, seached for Bro Andrew Gonzales Bldg, had a mini picnic in front of Yuchengco Hall, explained about architecture kemps, then picture taking before going home. Buts and Marra made me laugh hard because of their conyo way of speaking, but contrary to what they are expecting, we all conversed in Filipino and they are not conyo. :) I also bought a lanyard with NERDY printed in it. I should've chose the SPORTY one since Im from sports section. hihi :)))
Thanks to Jude for taking the photos, Buts and Marra for making me laugh, Nikky, Glesa, Jan (with his fab hair. SUPER LIKE!), and Bambi (Happy Birthday!) :))) Hope to spend more time with you and more seminars to come!

Let's PUSH this! :)
Stressful day. Parang namatayan ata ako ng neurons nitong hapon, but anyway another learning experience for me. I admit na matagal ako magsulat, pero kapag na-time pressure ako just like what happened last sem na torn ako between articles and nursing-related paperworks plus pressuring groupmates and their rants, napapabilis ko yung ginagawa ko, yet not sure sa quality ng ginawa ko, pero binuhos ko naman yung makakaya ko dun.
Kaming tatlo nina Ace and Cindy yung medyo pagod yung braaaaains but still we remained calm and pakanta-kanta pa. I think, that's what I love Sports, kalmado despite of some things. We can adapt to stress and divert problems/pressure to other things. Sa kaka-edit, inabot kami ng 9pm sa school. Kami-kami na lang magkakasama nina Juju, Janice, Rits, Don and Ace. Pagdating ng kanto ng Morayta, nag-aya si Don na mag-Starbucks samantalang umuwi na si Juju. Eventually, tumuloy kami ng P. Noval pero nag-withdraw na muna dahil sa mapapagastos kami for sure. Habang naglalakad, iniisip ko yung stickers ko for planner na balak kong ibigay sa best friend Faye ko and i-libre na rin si June Ace na na-stress ko masyado at medyo sinisinat pa.
As we arrived sa Starbucks-P. Noval, pumila na rin ako para bumili. At dahil sa di ako nagsasawa sa chocolate chip cream plus cinnamon swirl na super favorite ko, yun na yung binili ko and dinner na rin, plus yung caramel macchiato ni Tito Juneys. Nung bumili naman si Don, pinagamit ko sa kanya yung planner ko. Buti na lang at mabait yung cashier at nilagay niya sa featured beverage side yung sticker and pati na rin yung kay Rits. Yehey! I'm 4 stickers away for another planner!
Nga pala, nandun din yung SC family ni Pareng Cee ni Dairen including a former Advo staffer and some familiar faces. Di naman naging awkward na andun kami (well, if you know what happened last August, and sa opinions nung Aug ish din, eh mage-gets mo na), pero parang feeling ko lang eh may 2 different forces na andun malapit sa kuta ng mga tigre :))) Any, nung kumpleto na kami, na-HOT SEAT ako bigla bilang pauso ni June Ace. Akala ko naman eh love-life related yung magiging topic (alam naman nating so bad ako sa area na yun). Org-related actually yung usapan and tanungan and kung ano yung nafo-foresee sa mga susunod na months. Medyo chill lang ako sumagot and come what may na lang ---kung ano yung darating eh yun na lang (tinagalog ko lang eh no). Tapos may mga chikahan din kami and tawanan. Parang bitin nga yung pagse-stay namin. Sana napaaga kami ng punta para napahaba yung kwentuhan namin. Though napagastos ako dahil sa katakawan ko sa Starbucks, eh okey lang naman. Nabusog naman ako and masaya kaming nandun. Looking forward for more bonding moments kahit saan man yan. :">
Sabay kami pauwi ni Janice, 1st time lang daw niya umuwi ng ganung oras. Pagdating namin sa kanto ng P. Noval and Dapitan, nakita ko sa may Mamang Taho si Kuya Gryann (maisingit lang) then sumakay na kami ng jeep. Mga 11 na rin ako nakauwi sa bahay :) Pagdating ko, napansin ko na nawawala yung coin purse ko. Sayang yung 80 pesos ko dun ah :| Pero kung kailangan talaga ng tao yung pera, sana binalik na lang niya yung wallet ko, matagal ko ng kasama sa buhay yun eh :( Parang pareho lang din kami ng drama ni JH bilang nakuha ata yung ID niya pero binalik naman. Parang gusto lang ata malaman nung tao yung name ni JH eh. HAHA. :D para-paraan din para malaman yung name eh no, dinadaaan sa pagnanakaw ng ID. Eh sorry naman daw, hopeless. LOL :D Imba pa reply sa message ko na, di na raw siya magpapakulay ng hair, kung magpapakulay man sya, it would be black (plus smiley). HAHA. (okey, ambabaw ko).
So magka-Tweet kami nina Dairen and Cindy. Then binasa ko na rin yung blog nilang dalawa.
Hear my Heart Beat: Ano ba naman yan, parang nauulit lang sayo yung ginagawa ko kay nanay dati na kunwari chill lang ako and everythign will be fine pero yung totoo eh nag-aalala ako. Wag ka munang umalis pwede? Pwedeng sabay na tayo sa April 2013? Mahirap pa sa mga panahong 'to. Alam mo naman na tatatlo na lang tayong gumagalaw and di pa natin maaasahan masyado yung mga pinsan natin. 2 months na lang and makakalasap na rin tayo ng bakasyon (maliban sakin na buong summer na magdu-duty). Hold on, kaya natin to :)
Make Believe/Mixed Signals: Kung san ka masaya, dun din ako :) IDK kung what team ako eh. :P And sa acads and other problems mo, kaya mo yan. Keep smiling and feeling ko naman, napapasaya ka ni Polar Bear at nakakalimutan mo yung problems mo. Push lang ng push! :)))
Time check: 3:23am! Pupunta pa ako ng Novaliches later! :))) Bayie!
