i hate to see you go
the reason why i don't know
it's been months since you left me
but hey, i'm still the same girl you called baby

i don't have any plans of being a song writer but, yes. while i was taking a bath some words popped into my mind. and there, it became a verse. i came up with a tune too! a song dedicated for no one.

oh poetic me. i hate it.

the sili challenge

minsan talaga, wala kaming magawa sa buhay. kaya eto... nag-sili challenge kami.
ang weird namin noh? wala namang prize... ano kaya yun.
hahaha! panoorin nyo na lang.

i will save a life

i always want change. i am the kind of person who cares a lot. as a student nurse, we are having duties on hospitals like PGH. we all know that it is the largest public hospital in all 7, 107 islands of the Philippines. i have been there several times already for duties and outreach programs and i have seen, for several times also, the struggles of the patients staying there. could you believe that some patients stay at the corridors? no doubt, it employs the best, most efficient doctors of our nation... but still!

i can never change that fact- that the main public hospital of our country is like that. but i just told myself 'whatever it takes, i'll make change and i'll have contribution to PGH.'

it was our nursing day last wednesday and the Red Cross Youth Council, our school's chapter, organized a blood donation drive. the moment i saw the poster, i didn't think twice. i came in the room and inquired if i can donate blood. i was afraid, of course! the humungous needle freaked me out. nevertheless, this is the change i seek. i cannot do big things so i figured out that that was it.

one bag of my blood can save one life in PGH. i am proud of what i did :)

that's 450 cc of my blood :)

i love the rain as much as i love the sun. when i think of rain, the first thing that comes into my mind is my childhood days. i was a lucky kid because my parents allowed me to get wet and have fun in the rain back then. it had been the talk of the week since it was very rainy and we rarely saw the sun.

i've learned through our wala-pang-prof kwentuhan sessions that my other classmates never experienced the fun under the rain.

TERE: na-experience mo na ba maligo sa ulan?
ME: oo naman! hindi ka pa?
TERE: hindi pa... shit, ang loser ko!
ME: sinabi mo pa! tara, ligo tayo. hahaha!
TERE: promise, gusto ko talaga. ang lalaking sumama sa kin an maligo sa ulan pakakasalan ko.

so there, i never imagined that staying under the rain is such a big deal. nevertheless, i realized that those who never experienced it during their childhood thinks it is a great, great, great thing to do. well, actually, it is nothing of great importance BUT IT IS MORE THAN FUN. i felt freedom back then when we just ran to the door and stayed outside the gate of our house and danced and splashed and did all the childish things children do when it is raining. oohhh... memories.

that was what excites me during my early years- "ULAAAAN! LARO TAYO SA LABAS!"
but now? "UMUULAN! SUSPENDED NA!"

the talk of the town.

i am a book lover. i started reading pocketbooks when i was still in primary school. i started with archie comics, then to sabrine the teenage witch, then to harry potter, then to dan brown and to more "matured" books. there was even a time that i finished a 700-page book in just two days. i was more than addicted. when i entered college, i barely have time to read anymore. all became so busy.

now i'm reading a 500-page book. i started 3 weeks ago and i'm still not finished! yes, your guess is right. it is the hottest, talk of the town TWILIGHT. girls, boys or whoever- all's just so addicted. i know it's weird, i really like the story and all but, besides i don't have the time, i don't want to finish the story. IT IS TOTALLY INSANE! i was never like that. when i like a story, i would try not to sleep just to finish the book but now, it's different.

i fell in love with edward cullen. the oh-so-perfect vampire in the book. well, i guess i don't have to explain. every person i meet everyday never fails to mention bella and edward, every page i visit has a blog of him and her, every magazine and newspaper i read has a critique of the book or author, everyone i see in the canteen, classroom or corridor is reading the book or the sequel of it. and now, i am officially making myself one of those oh-i-love-him-i-would-die-for-edwardcullen fans club.

and this morning, i decided that i would finish the book tonight. I MUST. all my classmates are reading it's last book already and i'm the only left stuck in the happy part. i have to be what i used to be again!

i am in love with a vampire who is not even real. I AM CRACKED.
