Juno

I think I woke up naked that super early morning of June 22, 2006 as I always do after a long and tiring day, once done taking a shower I sleep clotheless with just one pillow sandwiched between my thighs. After unplugging my cellphone that I left charging overnight and checking the early "greeters", I went back to sleep coz my class is 8am and t'was only 4 in the morning? 4 more hours to exploit! I finally woke up at around 6am? I took a spoonful of extra VCO (extra virgin coconut oil: as a food supplement), did 300 sit-ups, ate 4 slices of "Gardenia: Reg. Loaf" with "Lady's choice: Ham sandwich spread" and the other pair with "Lady's choice: Peanut butter creamy & sweet." (too much with the endorsements!) took a bath and performed my daily ritials of beautification. As far as I'm concerned it's just a regular day for me, its just that I am older now and supposed to be celebrating it!? I came to school this time alone, no friends in sight, and it was almost 8. The moment I entered the room Tetel started chanting a mysterious spell called the "Happy birthday" song. And everybody started greeting me and all warm towards me. And the day passed just like that. I am happy just the same. Actually on that same day, we had this what we call "Ret. Dem." short for return demonstration where we will apply what our profs have discussed on dummies and in time to real patients. On that day, we had Cord care and Neonatal care, you know, stuff you do to a newborn. I missed having a perfect score, I'm not perfect i guess... ;p And yada, yada, yada...
And now to the highlight of the story...
After class, we went to our respective dormitories, said our bye's and see you later's...
So I went up to my dorm alone and put plastic cover on my books, fixed my bag for tomorrow and finished school biz: my simple way of keeping it feel better. what d h?
All of a sudden, after a day of no text msg. coming from her, Fritzie sent me a text msg, saying:
"sbay b tau magdidiner? diner na tau, aga aq m22log eh..."
we normally eat dinner together...
so I replied with:
(I forgot what I said precisely, but I'm sure I agreed.)
So I took a brief shower, put some cologne, and locked my nice necklace around me necky...and I came over to Fritzie's.
So i knocked...
She said:
"teka lang, magbibihis lang ako!"
And I said:
"sige dito lang ako sa labas..."
after I few sec.s I have realized that there is something fishy goin inside that room... they might have prepared a surprise party for me and imagined that a crowd was waiting to jump out to grab the birthday boy!...
So I patiently knocked...
the door slowly opened...
and...
the room was empty...
zero!
no party...
no surprise...
no one, no thing!...
so I stepped inside and, one, two, step...
Fuck!
a row of candles sticking on a cake literally meddled with my vision!
They set me up!
Fritzie, Renzy, Miggy, Celia and Maricel...my dorm buddies/friends/X-classm8s... fulfilled their dark plans to brighten up my special day! :)
O I love that chocolate cake, the mini pizzas and the pancit! It was simple but to me it's a feast!
I was touched and for a few seconds I came in and out of Fritzie's dorm asking: "what the... is this real?"...
Awww....
what a birthday to remember...
We had a blast...
and now I have to blast outta here...
til next time...
:)

P.S.: thanks to those who greeted me, esp. Ate Lica! :)

2nd and 19th

Wow! Tomorrow would be my nineteenth year of celebrating my existence: my birthday! And on the other day, would be the 2nd year anniversary of "Welcome to Santa Cruz". I don't know what to expect or shall I expect anything? I am kinda sad when I am suppose to be glad and jolly. Why am I not happy? First, come to think of it 19 the last chance of putting the "teen-th" on the end of your age... but now I do not make a huge fuss out of it... tsk... it's just a figure! Second, I am broke I don't know how the hell I can possibly throw a party with my pocket full of air! :p I asked my parents for some cash but they declined... wait! there's a reason...

Reason #1: for this week, wrong timing it is, we 3rd yr Nursing students have to buy PLENTY of paraphernalia that we'll be using in our hospital duty which doesn't come cheap...
Reason #2: my father might be leaving the country within this month therefore he'll need money for his travel...
Reason #3: Our household is full of expenses...
Sigh... The heck! You know what? Again, the heck! I won't waste my time thinking over how tomorrow will be looking! no, no, no! I have to enjoy! Got million of things to be thankful for...
like my "new" cellphone... Nokia 6800... from my mom, we switched units...
and my fab family and friends...
my fantastic life!
and even my empty lovelife, still... ty!
I'm adding up numbers to my age, but do I also add wisdom as well? On that I am doubtful! :)
til next time...
Oh I just miss blogging and the net...
I am sooo F*&%$^ loaded with school biz!
Ciao! Smooch!

Butiki sa ulo?

Have you guys read my previous posts? Tragedy!
Why o why?
Where's my spunk?
"Pa-lala na ng palala ang pag-ba-blog ko!"... "Lala!"
Do you know the sound a lizard(butiki) makes? The irritating sound?
That's what I can hear in my head whenever I want to post! I mean I have sensible ideas but no not this time...
I'll be back to my normal self... You fellow bloggers inspire me to write better!
I can't wait for school!
I'll be in my white nurse's uniform and I'm a junior now! Thrill!
Maybe if only I can make another cool lay-out for my site maybe just maybe I'll be excited everytime I write?!???
