Bound by Shooting Stars
Ryusei no Kizuna
I finally got the PERFECT chance to finish watching this drama.
If there's one thing I like the most about this, that'd be the way they plotted the events. The spotlight shifts from one person to another. Every person gets his/her own turn in handling the whole situation; all of them get to be main characters at some point in the story though some of them held this power longer than others.
He froze...What is Koichi saying? He might get caught.
Koichi made up a good story. George relaxes.
There he goes again. Please NO!!!
That's a nice cover up. Arita instead of Ariake.
Koichi says: "You really need to take a break."
The pathetic face..He does it all the time.
Two awesome detectives-they're fraud actually.
And...perfect! Move over Holmes.
"Why did you kill my parents?"
Oopsie..Wrong guy.
~I just ate the chocolate Mira gave me. :)) Thank you!!!

Sharing Screen Caps
"Fake Justin Bieber"
I have never done the video chat in omegle on my own until some friends told me that they actually saw JB,Ashley Tisdale and Ashton Kutcher in there, I decided to try my luck as well. At first the videos on the lower right screen were gross.. Dirty & Gross!
I had to click "Disconnect" a number of times, chat with some "seemingly nice" ones and explain why I'm there then proceed on my quest-look for celebs if ever.
And finally, I saw this guy and it just came out: Fake!
So as for the rest of the conversation I asked him to wave at me (and he didn't) and that's it. He's fake indeed. Too bad, my hopes of seeing a Hollywood celeb even for once failed.
"Of Some Random Guy"
I just think he's cute 'coz he looks like a girl and so I decided to print the screen and save it. LOL! What's the use of PrtScr without the save the image part right?
"Time for Family Feud!"
I was totally hooked with this game in facebook and so I decided to download one in my laptop. I had to print the score since I rarely make such. Don't think of me as vain; just desperate really.
Free-day & What Did I Do?
Last Friday.December 10,2010.
We had our Adopt-a-Ward day where they (CN 2014) sang Christmas carols and gave out simple gifts to ward 4 patients in PGH.
I cannot really say that I did a big deal of help since all I get to do was rip the pages of some old magazines for the skirts (which I think weren't even made).
That day also was my first time to witness an Oblation Run firsthand. Technically I was there but then all I get to see were the upper half part of the guys' bodies. A lot of people were eagerly watching the exhibit (that's what I call it).
I just went inside our Chem 14 classroom where our teacher discusses the reviewer with my block mate. And oh, regarding this Chem 14 teacher of ours: I like it when he turns his back on me (uh, I mean us). He is so cool.. Okay, his back is soo cool since it's broad and muscular...Err, he's got broad shoulders and he is muscular. I can hardly get things right when it comes to him. LOL!

A Skating Anime?!?
Ginban Kaleidoscope
I got this DVD from Stessi. Actually I saw it inside her bag when she opened it and then she let me borrow it. (To kill boredom).
I did not get the chance to watch it just until this Thursday. I spent almost 6 hours watching all 12 episodes.
Well, it was quite boring. He was a ghost living inside her (for 100 days). The plot was "far out" as father would've called it. Uncommon that is.
I just like the ending because they didn't get to be together. I prefer sad endings really. A(n) mL of reality in a liter of fantasy.
There was no deux ex machina a.k.a. a miracle out of nowhere. He vanished on the 23rd of February, the hundredth day; the same day as the winter Olympics in Torino where Tazusa (the girl) will compete in figure skating.
*Most of the Japanese dubbed characters speak in a weird English accent though ^_^
*In the english subs, they spelled it Peet instead of Pete.
A Series of Signatures and All...
I just got my laptop fixed this evening/morning. Yet, something's wrong with the battery...
Since I'm bored, i decided to make lots of signature for my different email accounts.
Too bad my hotmail account got hacked. That was my most favorite account and I've been there since 2007. Whoever that Zach was, he'll have his part soon. And it won't be a good one.
Since I can hardly think of some tag lines to write under my name, I decided to go with "a marine bio hopeful". It's true :)
It's a hopeless line though.
Just this afternoon, (starting yesterday) UP Manila had a two-day educational strike.
Well, what can I say?
We (future) nurses are 95% apathetic..
Don't worry, our heart goes with you anyway.
I feel so sleepy (as always!)
I heart bishies ( I saw one on my way to Gilmore). He sat right across me inside the LRT 2.
And just this afternoon, we went to the JFM library. It was so overwhelming.
I really need to learn Japanese ASAP XD

When I'm Bored
+ When I have a FREE whole week ahead of me,I watch random DVDs until late in the morning.Tell you what, I was able to finish two entire season of Heroes for 2 days.I was alsoable to watch three movies starring Lindsay Lohan: Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, Mean Girls & Georgia Rule in one night.
+I'm too bad to use a speaker in the holy hour of 2 am. Too bad to even consider my room mate who was actually tossing and turning just to get some sleep.
+Anyways, I found myself a new crush. He is PETER PETRELLI (Milo Ventimiglia). He is a NURSE. He can FLY, TIME TRAVEL etc. He absorbs other's abilities & he used to LOOK GAY! If there's one good thing that Sylar did, that would be cutting off Peter's bangs. XD
+These pages might not be as genuine as those from the diary of Anne Frank but it's a one-of-a-kind entry. I did it during my entire stay (err,wait) in the airport. Random things like the woman who made me guard her things while she went to the CR, the people passing by carrying boxes of Krispy Kreme, the woman with HUGE boobs etc. Too bad I wasn't able to write an entry while I was inside the plane [I was able to write one inside a bus]. That'll be my next goal.
+I bought a make-your-own-fairy kit for my sister. It ended up that I made everything for her. i had to do the cutting, the gluing, the tying whatever! But it was worth it. That's my sort of, FUN. As what I've posted in FB days ago, "Matsujun & I are soulmates. He's a sadist while I'm a masochist.
~have many pillows when I sleep. XD
~can surf the Net all I want (and it's at some point not my money)
~get to watch TV (though it pisses me off these times).
~I see the sea (my true calling.LOL.)
~My irritating siblings are there.
~I can wear all the clothes I want and not worry about the laundry.
~I NEVER get exempted in anything.
~I have lots of colored pencils & glitter glues around (plus the double-sided).
~I have to wake up at 6 am on Sundays.

Our Professor Named Tius
An excerpt from my diary: October 4,2010
We all got a letter from Sir Tius today and I think it was one of the best deeds a teacher can do for his students...
I am so proud and happy to have teachers like "them" who are more than willing enough to not only teach us but show us what goodness and learning really are.
So...I'll never forget that professor who has lots of piercings and always carries a bottle of tea to class.I'll never forget that professor who gives weird & funny examples, speaks German (and bad words) and allows us to eat & sleep in class.I'll never forget that professor who gives long tests with scores as high as 10,000 and as low as 9.I'll never forget that professor who acts like a student (and is actually one) and looks weird when wearing polos.
WE will never forget our philo professor who taught us that doubting is an integral part of life, that asking questions is as important as getting answers and that letters should be sealed with a smile. :)

UP: A Joke Come True
Every Filipino students dream to enter the universities UP, Ateneo, La Salle, UST etc. they’re the Ivy League schools in the Philippines; the top schools every smart student must be able to enter. And since I am a pure-blooded Filipino myself, I had that dream too.
I remember the night I was standing in front of Robinson’s facing the UPM-OUR building. I was staring right at the name University of the Philippines and in its sparkling and unreachable state I jokingly said, “Dira gid ko maeskwela mag college.Bantayi lang.” (I will go in that school for college. Wait and see.)
And surely, I did pass the UPCAT and was qualified for my first choice even though a lot of bad things literally happened while I was on my way of fulfilling that dream.
During the filling out of our UPCAT forms, our teacher scolded me and my friend for making BS Nursing our first choice. She said that it’s hard to enter in there because it’s a quota course.
During the testing day, I arrived just minutes before the exam started. That was a Sunday afternoon and Bagyong Ondoy was having the time of its life.
UP hopefuls like me were busy taking the exam as strong winds whipped outside. Papers were flying everywhere because the window was left open. Then in the middle of the exam, a brownout occurred. But that didn’t stop us from continuing the test. Good thing I was near the window. Never mind the wind.
I just found out that my name wasn’t posted on the list of passers in the State University just across our school. If I didn’t pass that school, it means I wouldn’t pass UP as well. I felt really terrible.
My teacher just consoled me saying I was meant for UP.
It turned out she was right for when we visited the site that afternoon after minutes of refreshing the webpage, my name was displayed in there-and further on the right BS Nursing Manila.
I made it! I made it! I was all smiles that afternoon.
This was one of the best days of my life.

Hours before the UPCAT results were released, I was already hopeless.

Late Night Haikus
I made these Haikus
Late last night when I can't sleep
and I find it weird.
It's about a boy
I have met and known since then
but long forgotten.
For the Dream from the Dreamer
He was but a dream That I could never reach Gone when I’m awake He was but a star And I am but a gazer Never to hold him He was but a breeze Gently blowing for someone Who was never me He was but my love The first one I’ve fallen for But he never knew He was but a boy Who brought out the girl in me And then shut me out He was my angel A wingless one I daresay Yet he flew away He was just a dream I have known it from the start Yet I still loved him. | For the Dreamer from the Dream
She was a dreamer And I am inside her dream Watching while she sleeps I am but a star Willing to fall from the sky Just to hold her close I was just a breeze Wanting to caress her cheeks But am afraid to do so She was not my first But she will be my last love One I will die with A mere boy I am And she was the greatest girl If only she knew That I was destined To fall in love with her once Then uncertainty I was just a dream And when she wakes up I will- Vanish forever.
|
I told you it's weird
But if you still read this one
I hope you enjoyed.

Tell Me What's Your Costume
I was right there inside Booksale looking for something random. Something cheap.A book not costing more than 5o pesos. So, right there in front of all those hardbound books ranging from 50 to 100 (or so I think), I found Carol Shield's book: Dressing Up for the Carnival.
Okay. Don't get me wrong. But who wouldn't be scandalized by the cover. A headless woman and a colorful title. I checked the price. The tag says "Booksale 35.00". Now, this is a sign. I then started reading the whole front cover. [I can't remember the complete words but it goes like this] "From the Pulitzer winner for her Stone Diaries" [see illustration for true & complete details]
This is the real sign. I took the book without really having second thoughts, lined up, paid for it (and my sister's Winx mag) then carried it all the way home. I had no sling bag during that time.
It was a collection of witty, allegoric stories concerning the sarcastic human life. Now who wants that huh? [Shields might disagree to my description of her book].
Anyways, I never regretted buying that book. If I were Booksale's manager, I would've sold it for 5oo pesos. [I'm working with lights off. Low voltage dude!] I have been wondering, "How come the book went unnoticed? Do they not know who Carol Shields was?" [LOL. I don't even know who she was before reading that book.]
Windows was my favorite story because it tells about how life would be without light. I mean "natural light." The main characters were two artists. They were married. No kids. Period.
Now, they were living during the time when they had to pay taxes for every square inch of windows they build.
Their marriage was in complete dryness. [They lack paints.LOL.] Well, I think mainly because they were of different philosophical ideas and styles not only in art but also in real life. They hardly speak to each other during that period. [Wife's POV]
One day, the wife discovered a piece of wood nailed to the wall. [Something like that; I'm not good in comprehension nor in memorization.] She decided to paint a glass window to create an illusion of light. She thought to herself, "How is it possible to make light dance on a flat surface, and how does anyone bring transparency to what is rigid and unyielding?". [Like I said earlier: Life without light is difficult.But isn't it more difficult to make a piece of wood look like a glass?] And everyday after that, she dedicated her life perfecting her masterpiece. Her husband then helped her finish it. And everything has been restored back to life because of that painting. (Clap!Clap!)
Now my favorite quotation...['tis gave me a new way of looking at a glass ] "Glass is green like water or blue like the sky or a rectangle of beaten gold when the setting sun strikes it or else a midnight black broken by starlight or the cold courteous reflection of the moon."
Ciao! Gonna dress down for now... [There was a story in there with this title. You wouldn't want to know what is it about.]

Just a Pause
I'll never give up on my dream.
It's just that the circumstances decided to pick on me so I wasn't able to pursue what I really wanted. Well, it's not that I hate what I'm about to take up now. I should bear in my mind that I'll be spending FOUR years of my life studying it; then the rest of my LIFETIME doing it.Most of the people I talked with would say "You'll learn to love it anyway." So, who wants to trade places with me..? Just kidding.
Someday, I really want to see myself wearing that wet suit & diving under the seas of Palawan or maybe the Caribbeans.
But before that, I should try to survive & prove myself worth to be called an Iskolar ng Bayan. My first step on being closer with the dolphins begins with BSN. (eventhough BSMB should be the right abbreviation attached to my name)
:D

Waking Up to a New Day
I am very much afraid to fail.
I am afraid of letting my parents' expectations of me fall down.
I am living for others' measurements and not for God's.
I can still remember the times when the computer at home would break down because of viruses, of low voltage, of the rain etc.I would cry in front of our PC because it would mean another failing grade in Research. My thesis was the most important thing that mattered to me when I was in high school. Once, my flash disk got lost & it was my worst nightmare-come-to-life. Just days before, I dreamed that a snake bit me on the hip and it went right through my flesh. I hated a lot ofteachers, backbite them. I made fun of my "friends" (well, some of them) and other people.
All that mattered to me during those times was having even just a bit of my schoolmates' attention by stepping on others.I used to take my studies seriously. Well, until 4th year. The last year of my high school.I was tired of everything.
So why am I telling these things?
Because there's one thing I realized after all those countless bittersweet memories I had as a high school student.God never failed me even if I failed Him many times [purple is the color of royalty]. He promised to..."never leave us nor forsake us."
Honestly, a lot of circumstances came wherein I questioned God...I would question His plans for me. But in the end, His (plans) were indeed for my own good.
There's also this line from a song that I would like to share: "..God is too wise to be mistaken, God is too good to be unkind. So when you don't understand, when you don't see His plan, when you can't trace His hand trust His heart..." --> I sing this to myself to remind me of His plans.
I pray that may His plans be mine too & not the other way around.
Now I just graduated from high school [with God's favor I graduated with honors & made it to
one of the best universities in the country]...
"He still never fails to reveal Himself to me in different ways"
