I'm officially on a sembreak.

Posted by scarlet_hue at 02:34 AM on November 8, 2009.

You know Tabbie, I contemplated on deleting you. I almost clicked the left mouse button with the cursor hovering on the delete option in the control panel. I felt that we are already so disconnected now that I thought it was only appropriate to finally let you rest. But then I remembered the 6 years we've gone through together... you have been with me ever since the day I crossed the threshold of College up until the day I passed the board exams. You were there to bear witness to my pain, frustrations and even the small things that made me happy. But lately, i've been too busy to update you with my life. I was so uninspired to blog these days and that it drove me to the point where I thought I didn't need you anymore. Then I suddenly envisioned life without you and I realized that I couldn't let you go. You're like a friend I can't physically see but always there in the sidelines, cheering for me and eager for the latest news about me. It was very selfish of me to have even thought of erasing you. For that, i'm sorry. I'll make up to you by trying to write more often. I want to reconnect with you again, tabbie.

So now, as a celebration of our reconnection, I present to you... an entry.

Okay, let's get this started.

***

I'm finally on sembreak, whew! 6 months of hard work has finally paid off. I passed all of my subjects outright and I didn't have to worry about taking removal exams nor the promotion boards. I'm so happy! Thank you Bro, I couldn't have done it without your divine assistance. :D

And did I already mention I was exempted to take the Final exam for Biochem? :D

I never expected this to happen because Biochem is like one of the most hard knockin' subjects in the first year curriculum... and never would've I guessed i'd end it with a grade of 1.50. Woohoo! My prayers were answered. Now I know that God really listens to those who want to be heard.

I feel bad for my other classmates though. A lot of them were "weeded" out (as higher years succinctly coin it) and from the original population of 65, section F is down to 38. I blame it on the very rushed environment in FEU. There was really no room for adjustment and they already bombed us with numerous shifting exams since day 1. But I do understand why the academe is doing that, the reason is pretty simple. We're already pursuing a doctorate degree and as aspiring doctors we are expected to handle things with grace and maturity even under the bout of stress. As one of my professors told us, a doctor's life is never stress-free. So as early as now, they're training us to work under pressure because the strain bought about working in a hospital is never a joke. I should know, having worked for more than 5 months inside one. So yeah, i'm gonna have a tough road ahead, but I chose this and i'm standing by it until the end. 

Some people who got affected by the "weeding" are close friends of mine. I'm sad about what happened... as in reeeaally sad. But I am as powerless as they are and I can only dust my knees, get up and move on. I have myself to think about too. I pray that God blesses them on whatever they're planning to do after this.

That's about it regarding my scholastic affairs. Let's talk about the more trivial but fun (?) events that happened to me lately.

***

I just discovered that I'm one of the most googled people in our classroom. Really, I have no idea why. Two people have already admitted on doing so, and i hope i don't get any more confessions soon. The top reason me and my friends could think of is that my classmates are having a hard time believing that I didn't graduate as Cum Laude or with honors at least. Do I look like a liar? Haha! Well, slight lang. Uhm, I feel kinda awkward about it but i'm not mad. If you guys are reading this right now, i just wanna say that i'm more boring than a slice of white loaf bread and I hope you don't find any incriminating stuff about me (though i couldn't think of any). Oh and by the way, I got my premed degree from MCU, not UST.

Speaking of MCU, i went back there last friday and was mildly amused with the structural changes it has undergone since I graduated. However, i'm still as dissatisfied as ever with their administration. That new registrar is really flipping my bitch switch. I kinda missed the old one tuloy.

Oh and I finally got my yearbook. It looks very nice, even with typographical errors and all. Plus the testimony under my picture was really sweet. Thanks Dean, i know you're the one who composed that.

***

About my love life? Hmm.. I don't want to go to details and all I can say is that he's not the guy I thought he was. It was fortunate that I have a good head on my shoulders. My mom certainly didn't raise a fool, for sure! ;D

I feel bad for Girl 2 though (You know her). She was just a victim of a disaster called Jerk. Though sometimes I couldn't help but feel somehow responsible for her heartache. I don't know how to console her, and the only thing I could do for her is to wish her peace of mind and strength to overcome the pain. And as for that guy, i pray that he gets what is due to him. The asshole. D:<

***

I'm worried about my dad's health these days. The signs of aging are showing up and they definitely don't bring good news. First, his gouty arthritis have struck again. He was briefly hospitalized for it because he couldn't walk and it's causing too much pain. Next is his teeth. He just woke up one day with a swollen face and gums so we rushed him to a dentist to have his molars extracted. Poor dad. He couldn't eat any solid food and he still needs to undergo another dental operation to relieve him of the pain. I feel so sad about this. In my eyes, he's the epitome of power in our house and I grew up looking up to him as some kind of superman. But now, seeing him in a frail and crumbled state makes me weak in the knees and sick to my stomach. But this gives me all the more reason to become a doctor as soon as possible. I still want to repay him for the love and support he has given me all my life. He may have been a strict disciplinarian, but he's still my Dad and I love him. 

 

That's about it for now. I feel refreshed. I missed blogging like this.

 

Later!

 

P.S. I can't help but post this. Cobalt and Aurum is the cutest couple ever~!

My Hopeless Wish

By Golda C.

My wish is very simple, it's to have your pure and unwavering love.
To be the only girl for you, despite my imperfections and flaws.
To be that thought that would make you smile when you are sad and lonely.
To have those beautiful eyes that can stare right into your soul.
To be the owner of that voice you so long to hear after a very tiring day.
To have that radiant smile and silver-bell laughter that melts your heart.
To have that wit and humor that makes you laugh.
To be that girl who makes you want to change for the better.
To be that girl you simply can't live without.

My wish is very simple, yet very hard to obtain.
So I pray to the almighty father to take pity on me, his child.
And grant me this wish I have in my heart.
No matter how hopeless this wish might sound.

 

Whoo, drama. Haha. Yup, i'm a hopeless romantic. A very hopeless one indeed. Hehe. 

 

***

 

Hay. Ba't ganun. Been feeling really depressed lately. Maybe due to the weather? I hope that's only the case.

I wonder why despite the love of the people around me, i still feel so cold and lonely?

It feels as if i get emptier inside by the minute.

Even sketching -- my favorite hobby, doesn't seem to alleviate this vaccum within me.

Maybe i'll cry tonight. Even if i don't have a solid reason to. I need a catharsis, and crying seems to do the job.

BLOG #1: FUN-FILLED DAYS

 

I haven't blogged FOR A LOOOONG TIME and I guess my skills in this thing has already diminished. But still, I would like to try posting my very FIRST BLOG here in my Facebook account to keep record of the few highlights this week. (Oh, please forgive if ever there would be grammatical errors in the next paragraphs since My brain's not working properly when I typed them last night and I am not that good when it comes to English. Liek i don;t evne knw som speling dude and i has no abiliti to rite graet blogs.) Anyway.... 

Last Wednesday, July 29, my group had our 2nd reporting in Biochem with (the gorgeous) Dr. Bravo to guide and lecture some points on our class. The powerpoint presentation was a failure, but I guess we were SOMEHOW able to discuss the Collagen Biochemistry properly. Right after the class, which ended a bit late than usual, we were invited by Nikki to have dinner with them for he will be treating us since it was his birthday~ woot! And we had our stomach filled at the nearest resto in our adorable school, Nitz. hehe! THANKS AGAIN, NIKKI~!

Friday, July 31, we got a long break after our 1st class since F1 doesn't have SGD meeting. (We had our SGD3, Thursday, and we met Golda's and Michelle's crush, the brilliant Dr. Cruz. Yiheee!) Luckily, Kei and Jasmine decided to give us a treat and Pizza Hut was their choice. They actually invited all the good-looking members of Group 1 but only me and Golda were present (the most good-looking, I suppose NYAHAHAH). Unfortunately, it was too early to enjoy Pizza Hut's pizzas (redundancy haha) coz they were still closed and would open by 10am, but would be ready to serve by 11am. >: So, we, the empty-stomach-drooling-for-pizza-girls decided to give up this pizza craving and just eat some breakfast meal from McDo. Oh, and by the time we were about to go to McDo, Jas took her car first and picked up Cesar and Rob. (yeah these guys were like pick-up girls HARHAR) When we were about to park at the McDonald's, they changed their mind coz they then want to go to SM Fairview. Wish granted. And there, we were able to ea t pizza at Sbarro courtesy of our amazing.me dicine.students.slash.NLEX.passers.slash.wonder.girls, Kei and Jas. I LOVE YOU BOTH. AND THANKS A LOT FOR THE CHEESECAKE! I LIKED IT~ Wait, there's something i should not forget on this day too. I DONT LIKE IT. PUCHA. ACHO. ROB'S-ID-WHEREIN-HE-LOOKS-LIKE-HE-GOT-HIGH-FROM-FORMALIN. GOLDAxROB. SUZUKI SWIFT.
And my day was a very long one, Kei and Golda did some shopping in SM North Edsa, right after our Micro lab class. Haha! Yeah, coz its SALE! XDD In fact, Kei has a lot of things listed on a piece of paper to remind her what she should buy when we get to the mall. hehe!
That blog above is actually taken from my classmate/groupmate Karen's Facebook. When I read this, i couldn't help but roll on the floor from laughing. It's pretty fun to see your experiences recounted from the POV of another person. Vain much? Lol.
Yeah, this week was better from all the other hell-submerged weeks we've been having lately. Let me take a stab on my own POV on this heaven-sent week. 
Monday, July 27: Classes were suspended because of the SONA. Good news for the others, bad news for us. Not only do we have to compensate for the lost time (we had to study the topics ourselves! Grr), our Shiftings had to double so that we could catch up. I hate you even more now GMA, lol. :D
Wednesday, July 29: We had our report on Biochem about Collagen. I really prepared for my part in the report but when I got up in front, i lost everything I learned. I literally bombed there. As in a nuclear bomb with the mushroom cloud and everything. Good thing our conference proctor that time was the beautiful (lol) Dr. Dennis Bravo and he wasn't as monstrous as the other Doctors we had before. So in the end, we were able to get through with the reporting. But i'm kinda disappointed with some of my groupmates though, it was their fault that we messed up in the reporting because of their uncooperativeness. (sp?) Oh well. Let's not cry about spilt milk now. At least it's over and done with.
After the Conference though, our class president Nikki Busto (OBAMA, lol) treated us to dinner to celebrate his 26th Birthday. The food's nice (coz it's free, hehe) and it tasted even better because I was eating it with my groupmates and other classmates. And lol, I was suddenly teased as Michelle Obama/First Lady because my nosy groupmates (peace guys) observed that me and Nikki have this great chemistry together. WTH guys?! :D
Thursday, July 30: In our Physio SGD (SGD3) about Nerves and Muscles, we met the debonair and brilliant Dr. Cruz. From the moment he opened his mouth to discuss with us the cases we have to tackle, my panties slid off my legs. LOL. Really! He was so hooooot i was so inspired to do great in that SGD. Hence, I was able to nab that elusive 100% grade. Hahahaha! >:D Ganyan talaga pag inspired. LOL.
Friday, July 31: Since F1 doesn't have an SGD every fridays, we got a very long vacant time to loll off. So using this opportunity, the newly certified nurses in our group Kei and Jas took us to lunch at SM fairview. We used Jas' car which is this really cute Suzuki Swift. It kinda reminds me of my Honda Jazz with it's size but it's actually much spacier inside because it was able to accomodate me and this two really big guys Cesar and Robert. We decided to eat at Sbarro's (SA-barros according to Rob). While on route to Sbarro's though, we passed this Rexona Men Deo launch with a really cool-looking Porsche parked in between the racks of spray-ons. We stopped to admire that soon-to-be-ours Porsche (lol) when this Rexona girl who was scantily-clad and reminiscent of Car Exhibit girls approached Robert the New York kid with a flirty smile and said "Want to test our product sir?". Robert, being the Deither Ocampo of the group, took the chance to show off his manliness (gag, retch, cough.) and agreed. So this girl sprayed some of it on Rob's arm and when he smelled it, Rob said "I don't like it". LOL! We were so shocked with Rob's tactlessness that we decided to back off while screaming "he's not with us!". LOL. Seriously, that girl was offended and embarrased so much that we wanted to apologize in behalf of Rob. We decided not to though, she might kill us with her deadly sprays LOL. In fairness to Rob, those spray-ons really kills our noses. :D
We ate baked Zitti, Spaghetti, Garlic Bread and a whole Pizza (which was gigantic, i tell you) and it was really great. Everybody was laughing and having a great time. We were really noisy inside Sbarro's but good thing we were the only customers there since it was only 10am when we arrived there. 
I also realized while eating with my groupmates that the more fun you're having, the stupider you get. LOL. Here are the gems of our conversation there:
Cesar: Hey guys you want some straws for your Iced Teas?
Me: Yeah. We can ask the straws to come to us so that we'd have some.
Cesar and Karen: LOL!
Me: What?
Cesar: Come here straws. We badly need you. Hahaha
Me: Oh, LOL. 
----
Robert: You know Gold, the Action Potential of the muscles are the same as having sex, there's a time that you can't stimulate it anymore even if you give it a very high stimulus. 
Me: Wait. Muscles have sex?
Robert: *facepalm*
----
Karen: Can you please pass the Hotsauce guys?
Kei: Which one? The non-hot one or the hot one?
All: LOL!
----
And then Robert showed us his NY ID which made us laugh so hard because he looked so drugged in the photo, lol. He said he was drunk the night before and his mom woke him up as early as 6am to have his photo taken. Hooray for his mom, lol! :D
---
While going back to FEU to catch our 1pm class, Jas asked us this question: "What is the mortal enemy of a PUCHA?" So we were all like, "Gago?", "Hayop?", "Tangna?". And then she asked Robert the same question. Being the foreigner that he is, of course he was befuddled. And after begging Jasmine for the correct answer, she finally said, "easy. it's ACHO" LOL. What a corny joke! But what's even funnier is that Rob really believed that PUCHA is the tagalog word for a cat. And he's like "Here little PUCHA" or "What a cute little PUCHA". Grabe, we were laughing so hard inside the car that it was shaking so much. What a fun ride.
Robert, don't forget that PUCHA you promised me okay? XD
---
After our MicroHSB lecture and Laboratory, me, Kei and Karen went to SM North this time to buy some stuff. It was so tiring because of the hordes of people swarming the mall because of the Sale. When we got everything we needed, we went on our separate ways.
What a great day that was. I loved that Friday. Sana maulit uli. :D
***
Okay, now back to regular programming. It's hell week again next week. The double Shiftings are coming to bite us in our asses. Sigh

A question for guys (and girls too)

Posted by scarlet_hue at 05:01 PM on July 20, 2009.

Be honest, okay? I just want your opinion on this. If you can draw an answer from a previous experience, it'd be much better. Experience is definitely > theory, but your unbiased opinion matters too.

 

The scenario is this:

You are a cool guy who's got good looks, a deep pocket, and a charming smile. You are a medical student and an athlete as well. Basically, you've got it going on for you. At school, you meet two nice girls who both likes you. You have the liberty to choose between the two, but you can only choose one.

 

To help you with choosing, may I present to you Exhibit A:

Girl 1:

An average-looking girl who's got brains. She's tall, plumper than most girls (but not fat), and a little bit of a tomboy with a great sense of humor. She's someone you can approach when you wanna have a decent conversation with somebody, and you can trust her to laugh with you even if your joke's cornier than a corn field. Overall, she's not exactly the coolest girl to hang out with, but a good companion nonetheless. 

Girl 2:

A very pretty girl with a petite physique and a girly charm to die for. She's very lady-like (she hailed from an all-girls school somewhere near katipunan) and approachable. She's always quipped with a radiant smile and a friendly aura. If you're thinking she might be just another bimbo, think again. She may not be the most sharpest tool in the shed but she works hard to make up for it. She's probably the perfect girlfriend material.

 

We move now to Exhibit B:

Girl 1:

She likes you a lot and there's this smouldering chemistry between the two of you. She thinks you make her life more interesting.

Girl 2:

She thinks you're gorgeous and the two of you look great together. 

 

 

Last is Exhibit C:

Girl 1:

Can be compared to Angel Locsin; An All-Filipina girl with a Morena complexion and a nice smile. Angel looks like someone who could be a classmate or a neighbor, right? I think there are women are prettier than her in terms of facial features but she got her goddess status through her pleasant and down-to-earth attitude. She's an overt reminder of how women can be beautiful when they're comfortable in their own skins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Girl 2:

 

Can be somewhat similar to Anne Curtis but only in physical appearance... people say Anne can be such a bitch and Girl 2 is a very sweet girl. Girl 2 is a kikay with chinita eyes and plump red lips. Can be compared to a delicate flower that needs to be taken care of. If you put Kim Chiu's bubbly personality in Anne's body, you have Girl 2. Very delicious, hmm?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, with that all that said...

  

Who among the two would you choose?

 

Think carefully and try your best to put yourself in the shoes of the guy in the scenario.

 

Your answers will be very much appreciated.

I fell.

Posted by scarlet_hue at 05:33 PM on July 14, 2009.

This is what i'm afraid of, and now it really happened. I fell for him. I fell for him hard. I don't like that. I don't want to ruin our friendship. But it's too late now. I am starting to ache for him. This. is. bad. 

This is your fault. You always made me feel so special. You always made me feel that in a sea of girls, you'd only see me. You always give me that sweet sweet smile whenever we come across each other. You would always be a gentleman when it comes to me. I hate that soul-piercing stare of yours. I hate that panty-creaming wink you do when you're being naughty. I hate your sexy voice. I hate everything you possess!

 

I hate them because i know they'd never be mine. 

 

Please stop doing these things to me. You're starting to hurt me. 

 

Grah. I'm starting to hate myself. I feel despicable.
