<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Late last year, I have just transferred jobs which I
think is a good career decision because my job right now allows me to be
flexible enough to work towards higher education. I am a nursing graduate but I
now work in the pharmaceutical corporate field. Also, I love the people in my
new job! They're professional and friendly at the same time. I'm also a regular
employee now which is great news and gives me a sense of permanency. I feel
though as if I need to advance my career but I have to get at the very least, a
Masters' Degree to be viable for a promotion. I've chosen to go to one
prestigious university in the South. This makes me reminisce about my college
days! The sleepless nights, thesis, strange professors and endless exams but I don’t
regret meeting all the great people I knew in school. Come to think of it, I really miss the life of
a student. But I'd really need some help with all of the assignments and
paperwork since I know I'm a little bit rusty with those things. It's been five
years since I last studied or graduated from college. I saw that an option in making
paperwork could be through <a href="http://www.poweredessays.com/blog/essay-writing-services">reputable essay writing companies</a> though I haven't
met anyone I know who uses these sites yet. But I've seen one website of such
companies and the reviews people made are pretty good. It has been said that
they are reliable, great for research and their essays are affordable. Plus I
see that there's an assurance that the service is legal and a great help to
would-be students like me. I'm pretty curious about their service. You may check this out by following the link.
Anyway, I'm really excited (and scared as well) to enroll in MBA classes soon. Hopefully
early next year when I have saved enough, I can be well on my way to get my
Masters. Wish me luck!</span></div>

June 2012 and time flies by so quickly. I can't even believe it.<br />
<br />
At work I am not so efficient these days. I want to know if there are times you are just there rewarding yourself with time in the internet that you dont deserve cause you spent hours on an email/ report that you can create in 20 minutes. Sometimes I probably am too lazy like that. But I am trying to change and overcome that.<br />
<br />
Anyways, what are your plans this year? i've started planning in January and I think not a lot of that is getting pushed thru because I have written my plans in a place where i could not be reminded of by anyone but myself - my diary.<br />
<br />
So I am quickly going thru what I would like to happen this year and write in a more public platform - my blog:<br />
<br />
<b>1. <span style="background-color: white;">Enroll in Multimedia Arts Classes</span></b><br />
<b>2. Go to Beijing and visit the Great Wall. </b>If that can't happen, maybe next year, or go to any other Asian country instead this year. But I can't not visit the Great Wall within the next 3 years<br />
3. Help redecorate the house<br />
<b>4. Attend Institute</b><br />
<b>5. <span style="background-color: white;">Be a regular at work</span></b><br />
<b>6. <span style="background-color: white;">Learn efficient public speaking at work</span></b><br />
<b>7.Invest via citiseconline.com</b> (Thanks to the Bo Sanchez booklet)<b> </b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: white;">8.Be in an actual relationship <3</span></b><br />
<br />
So many! Hope they all happen!!!kcatwomanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12546676135935094106noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612502033897194923.post-75565539571407097132012-05-22T00:18:00.002-07:002012-05-22T00:18:08.464-07:00A difficult doctor storyThere is a doctor i am handling who was offended and thought that i was not amenable with his work. Let's establish here that he made a petty mistake and since he is a colleague i must tell him what is correct based on policies. But if you read my text, it was assertive but gracious, almost bordering on pleading/submissiveness. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
His last text to me is manipulative, making me feel that if i am not ok with his work, just remove him as my doctor but i truly need him to be part of my roster, as in really need him. Whatever. Seriously Doc, i expected much better from you. i think i deserve a better reply than what you gave. i dont care about your education. Respect matters more to me, to everyone. In the bigger picture, we are all equals, you just studied longer than me but your license does not give you authority to manipulate people nor make me feel bad like this, like im a puny worm begging for your wonderful assistance. Freaking whatever.<br />
<br />Thankfully i just attended comm. training and i still replied to him that i need the corrections done, told him why i need that done because of policy (and sheer, simple logic). I stood my ground. I need to be assertive bec. I dont want to be the one breaking policies. Wanted to call him to clarify but, wait, what do we have here? you just wouldnt pick up would you? How difficult could it be to please a diva.<br />
<br />
Clearly this does not raise my perception of doctors :( im sorry, i know of doctors who are very kind, generous and fair: two of them are my bosses. But there are really doctors i've worked with who have just lowered and scarred my perception of doctors in general. Buti sana kung tama sya. Is it because of the presumed 'higher level of education'? i sincerely would like to try to understand.<br />
<br />
To be fair, I guess, professionals from all fields have their share of rotten tomatoes.<br />

This was part of a WORK LIFE BALANCE initiative in the office wherein one department sends us weekly geeky/awesome quizzes for a chance of gaining points for your department.<br />
<br />
The question for this photo was : <br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>The flowchart above shows the lyrical flow of Bonnie Tyler's biggest hit which topped the UK singles chart in March of 1983. Complete the flowchart by supplying and enumerating all five (5) missing phrases in the lyrics, denoted by the numbered rectangles in yellow.</strong></div><br />
Omg, I was super laughing out loud when I saw this and I heard people even singing while solving this particular (awesome) question. it's so funny when you get to hear 'em. so I hope if you have time, <u>give me the answer as a comment</u>. ANd as a prize, well.............., you'll be able to jog your memory, less chances of Alzheimers, and well, you'll gain extra bragging rights. hahaha.<br />

i think that there is a huge problem when I don't even have to wait 5 minutes before I get to ride a bus in a disorganized bus stop like in Coastal Road/ Mia Road. However, I wait 30 (freakin) minutes and become late in an extremely, rigidly organized Bus Station like in BGC. Something's just so wrong. You have to fix it.

<br />
(This is being written on March 16, 2012, for the benefit of those commenters who would like to know more about how I got over <a href="http://bestpinayblogever.blogspot.com/2011/01/smiling-on-left-but-still-smiling.html">Bell's Palsy</a>)<br />
<br />
Hello there!<br />
After the previous post was written, it has been more than a year now since Bell's Palsy injured/affected/attacked my facial nerve. All I can say is, I'm one of those people who are so lucky to have recovered so quickly. Within a month from the first time we went to the neurologist, almost all visible symptoms are gone. I am the only person who can recognize the non symmetric parts of my face of course since Im the one most familiar with it. I can smile normally, move my ears, nostrils but my eyes don't close easily. But I guess the smile and the eyes were the last to go back to normal.<br />
<br />
Okay so after the first visit to the neuro, we went for a lab test. Wherein they (inflict) electrical pulses via a prong on your face at varying degrees of (pain!). This is so they can assess the degree of damage on the facial nerve.<br />
<br />
On (probably) day 14, we went to the neuro for a 2nd visit,. Prior to that, my mom and I massaged my face, followed the instructions to avoid salty food and did my best to avoid therapy because we knew that that would be expensive. I also bought eye drops for when the eye becomes dry because it cannot close without assistance. On this visit, the doctor gave me the test result which was quite good but still I needed to go to therapy 6 times (once weekly) and drink the medication she has given and continue with the facial exercises. There are so many if you search in google but i used this because it's very visual and step by step: <a href="http://www.cuh.org.uk/resources/pdf/patient_information_leaflets/PIN1435_exercises_for_facial_weakness.pdf">http://www.cuh.org.uk/resources/pdf/patient_information_leaflets/PIN1435_exercises_for_facial_weakness.pdf</a><br />
<br />
I videotaped myself while doing these exercises each day but they are so embarassing so I cannot post them. But im pretty sure that it would be helpful for those patients who are suffering from bell's palsy to be able to see their progress. <br />
<br />
So I came to the hospital for therapy which consists of infrared heat/light being directed at your face, some facial massages (using fingertips) by the friendly therapist and also they will (inflict) some electric current like pulses via some prongs on the affected side of the face.This is the part I hate so much, because I get easily surprised and it's a little painful. It's like the nerves become tender again. Also, it's so similar to the painful lab test i got earlier, only milder and so again I become reminded of that day.. which I hate. In all fairness, the other aspects of the therapy are like a trip to the spa, hehe. Also, i truly commend University of Perpetual Help Hospital in Las Pinas because they are so advanced that they have both a NeuroScience department and a rehabilitation department. Also bec it felt like going to a spa hahaha. Anyway, they will teach you how to massage your face so you may be able to do this at home.<br />
<br />
After the third therapy session (once weekly basis), i stopped going. My face I felt was as normal as it could be. Also an upside to all this was that there were LESS wrinkles and LESS drooping on the bell's palsy side compared to the unaffected side. Talk about free "botox".<br />
<br />
I continued taking vitamins for a while until i also stopped i think at least 3 weeks prematurely than was recommended. I think everythin in my face is normal now and I am back to my old self... I am whole now.. I can smile!<br />
<br />
Oh another thing, after the first visit to the neuro, I asked our bishop to give me a blessing. Also, <strong>I think this</strong> <strong>miracle of easy recovery wouldn't have happened if not for that and the prayers.</strong><br />
<br />
*****<br />
<br />
This happened in January. On March 2011, a friend came to our house borrowing the infrared light my father bought me. He also had Bell's Palsy, probably from stress because he just came back from a religious mission and I think one of the biggest progenitors was that he cannot find a job, here, now, in the real world... Stress was still the cause. Sad for him, because it took so much longer for him to recover and he lost his confidence in himself because of the disease. <br />
<br />
So i remembered how I felt when i had it. It's true you will lose confidence, you cannot show your face or talk without looking a little weird. It is a serious disease, luckily we can recover from it. The best thing to do is to pray, show a happy disposition, have hope and faith. This will heal. I'm sharing my story for those afflicted to know about this feeling of hope. Also so that we'll know that we should always be watchful and not let our problems, stress and unhealthy sleeping habits get the best of us. We only have one body given to us. We must take care of it.<br />

<br />
Hi Blog,<br />
<br />
As much as I don't want to make this into a weight loss diary/ journal, I have now lost around 3 pounds since starting gym 4 weeks ago. I know this is still quite little when I know I could've lost more. But dieting is my real enemy here. There was one time, I ate a whole pack of cookies and Nagaraya when I could never finish those myself before when I didn't go to the gym. Workouts make me more hungry.<br />
<br />
But I've already given up some things. Like soda, and Milo at night. I've trained myself not to crave for soda. When eating out, I ask for water instead of any other drinks offered. I've also become more cautious since even fruit drinks/juices when bought outside are more sugary than healthy.<br />
<br />
And Milo..., I love Milo! But now I drink and savor it in the morning and have stopped drinking at night. It's one thing I probably can never give up.<br />
<br />
My exercise regimen consists of working out at the gym around 2 to 3 times a week. I have started looking forward to it since I see myself becoming stronger in a sense I can do more sit-ups and more numbers of repetitive machine workouts. I also love using Cardio equipment especially the elliptical. Well so there I hope I can lose a lot of weight and hope that you can share with me your miraculous weight loss stories cause I badly need a miracle right now :)<br />
<br />

Talo ko pa ang lumuwas, eh Metro Manila lang naman ang iniikot ko. Hay nako! Simulan nyo na ang the Fort Bus. "Less Stress" daw ang motto nila, pero dapat may statement sa ilalim na, "Less Stress... <i>During non-rush hours... otherwise, megastress!</i>" To think na, pumipila yung mga tao, bumababa lang sa mga designated bus stops, pero mas mahirap! Bakit parang mas madali pang makipagsikuhan sa Coastal bus stop area going to Edsa kung saan walang sistema sa pagpila kaysa sa the Fort Bus Station na disciplinado ang sistema. Wahhh, only in the Philippines! Truly, it defies reason.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Isa pa yang FX station sa Makati. Talaga namang walang mas reasonableng dapat sakyan kung hindi ang mga vans nila na dederetso sa lugar nyo. Pero grabe, kung magmahal, limang piso agad. Akala mo naman may nagimprove, halos maloka pa rin ako sa kakahintay ng FX. Shems, iuwi nyo na kami, please!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Basta talagang grabeng grabe ang traffic dito sa Maynila. Hindi naman ako nag-O.T. pero parang sana nag-OT na lang ako. Kumita pa sana. Alam nyo pag traffic nagiging masungit ang mga nasa paligid ko o kasama sa pila. Nakakunot mga noo, nagtsk-tsk sila, tapos umiikot yung mga mata parang may invisible na kaaway. Hahaha. Ewan, kakaiba ang epekto ng traffic sa mga tao. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Kanina lang sa van, nakatulog ka na't lahat pagkagising mo halfway ka pa lang. Close na nga kami nung mga pasahero e. Sa tagal ng stay namin dun, rinding -rindi na kami dun sa usapan ng driver at ng mga kakosa nya sa walkie-talkie. Masakit na yung pwet at pati mga tuhod stiff na kasi matagal na naka-bend. Inis na inis na rin ako sa magboyfriend na nag pi-PDA sa harap ko. Hay... inis na inis na nga ang beauty ko, iniinggit nyo pa!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Pasok sa eksena ang favorite motto ko -- "Dadaloy din ang ginhawa". Patay na, may digging ang Maynilad! Grabe, patong patong na, halos dalawang lane na lang ang dinadaanan ng mga sasakyan. Dagdag pa sa traffic! Ganito rin ba sa inyo?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">***</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sana may magawa ang MMDA tungkol sa traffic sa Maynila, although kung ako rin ang taga-MMDA, hindi ko rin alam kung pano. Grabe sakit sa ulo yung nata-trap ka everyday sa paghintay na makauwi ka na, sobrang hirap sa pagcommute, nako! Kung araw araw ganito nakakapagod rin. Ano, magiimplement na naman sila ng mga pahirap na rules tulad ng number coding sa public buses? Nako, isip naman kayo ng mga rules na hindi general commuting public ang nahihirapan. Kita mo nga ngayon, matraffic pa rin naman ah.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">O sige na masyadong napahaba na 'tong sinulat ko. Naglalabas lang naman ako actually ng sama ng loob sa naranasan ko today.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Okay good night and good luck.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Baclaran Day tomorrow.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

The singer Frenchie Dy, is known to have acquired it and everyone thought 'what bad luck that among the hundreds of diseases out there, this rare one actually gets her'. That's what I think everyone felt. It's actually quite an issue with Frenchie since she's a performer and therefore must have a face that always looks good in front of an audience. My sister thought this form of facial paralysis can be had when you overexpose yourself to a fan or airconditioning. She swears that two of her classmates, who always placed a fan on one side of their faces,eventually acquired paralysis on that side. My friend told me that she had a friend once, who, when her boyfriend left her, instantly got Bell's Palsy.</div><br />
So much for all the theories and urban legends surrounding the very mysterious Bell's Palsy.<br />
<br />
Why am I even blogging about it anyway? That's because I have it.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Well today is Day 11 of my recovery from Bell's Palsy. It feels normal actually. I don't feel any fever coming in nor am I suffering from an insurmountable amount of pain. Just that I noticed in the beginning of last week, my eyes were becoming very uncomfortable,a little bit painful and itchy. That's when I realized that my right eyelid does not close properly which is reason for it to feel uncomfortable and compensate by being teary-eyed. I also felt pressure at the front and back of my ear and our house was on full no-direct-contact alert because we all thought this was the highly transmissible Mumps. I am thankful it's not mumps cause that's more painful and scary. I still was able to go to work although my eyes still kept tearing up. Then the middle of the week came and suddenly my entire right face could not move.Only one eye blinks. When I try to close it, the eyelid only closes a little halfway. The right eyebrow does not rise or frown. The right nostril does not flare and that looked kind of funny. What's more obvious is the mouth part. It's really unnerving when I speak or laugh or smile, my mouth moves on one side so I tried hard not to smile during the next few days.</div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<div style="text-align: justify;">I was so lucky to have bosses who were also health care practitioners and easily noticed that a cause of my sudden inability to move my facial muscles could be <i>neural</i> in nature. I was terrified at first because I thought anything connected to nerves is a major issue. Immediately on the day after onset, we went to a neurologist and she explained to us that a virus attacked my system and was '<i>eating</i>' my facial nerve. She confirmed this condition to be Bell's Palsy. I am thankful that my case was mild. She prescribed Prednisone/ or an anti-inflammatory agent to lessen any swelling that may also be affecting the nerve and Vitamin B complex for neural repair (amazing!). She told us that a common cause of Bell's Palsy is stress and <i>puyat</i> (or spending time awake during normal sleeping hours). I have a talent for <i>pagpupuyat</i>. I love it. And now it has now taken a toll on my body which made me realize how I should value my health more.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Our neurologist explained that this was more common that most people think. More of her Bell's Palsy cases happen around the holidays when people are more prone to stress, partying and staying up late. Well, anyway, so much for all these explanations and causes. We've all now proven wrong all the previous urban legends about Bell's.</div><br />

My eyebrows are still worrisome since they still do not frown or rise as willed. But with my family and friends' faith and prayers on my side, I am so much better. Eleven days after and I look so normal barely no one noticed the small imbalances on either side of the face. <a href="http://www.bellspalsy.org.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=meeting;action=display;num=1045765492">Other patients</a> (reference: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1O1Q9PKrdk">youtube</a>) still have the major symptoms for several weeks or months on end. The end goal here is to get all muscles to return to normal at the same pace and avoid therapy. <i>My </i>personal goal is to get my smile back :)</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">I hope that what I've shared with you today would increase your insight about your health. I never would've known how much my chronic <i>pagpupuyat</i> could affect me and so could it affect you. Stress is a major underlying cause in many diseases today so let's all be careful about our health and lessen the abuse we inflict on our bodies.</div><br />
Take care, you.<br />

This is definitely a memorable first for us since this is the only time that we boarded a plane AS A FAMILY! It was almost New Year back then, and my family just waited for me to come after work in the morning and we boarded the plane ASAP. No time to rest, no time to shower, or even eat a meal... We were all so excited to be headed to Cebu.<br />

Well, this is us, visiting the beautiful <i>Taoist Temple</i> near downtown Cebu City. 'Beautiful' is such an understatement, actually. The temple was so breathtaking in the beauty of its structures, flowers, gardens, and fountains. I also loved the huge gong which reminded me of the big temples I only see in movies in distant China. I felt like a foreigner in my own country. The Philippines is known for it's beautiful natural tourist destinations but this one is man-made which really amazed me. I never would've believed that such a building that can be visited without a fee existed . I'm really just proud of it. I hope this picture gives it justice. I think everyone must have time to visit this temple even if you're a from a different religion or sect. My siblings and I sat there and felt contemplative and peaceful once we were inside. Here's a place where you can do some serious soul-searching. We've visited almost all the tourist spots in Cebu -- the Mactan shrine, Mountainview Top, Magellan's Cross, to name a few, but this wonderful building really has a place in my heart and will always be a place where I found a little bit more of serenity and happiness amidst the bustling city of Cebu.<br />

May isang boy/girl na pumara sakin tapos biglang bati na "hindi naman ako masamang tao". Fine! Defensive sya agad kasi nakitang nakakunot na yung noo ko.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>"Pwede bang humingi ng pamasahe?, kailangan ko lang pauwing Bulacan"</div><div><br />
</div><div>Nagbigay naman ako ng sampungpiso.Parang ayaw nyang tanggapin kasi mukhang kulang pa ang pamasahe papuntang probinsya. Pero sorry, sir/maam nagmamadali ako.</div><div>May isang mag-ina pa ulit na pumara sakin pero talagang late na ko e. </div><div>***</div><div>Isang nagmamadaling Flor ang umuwing bigo galing sa job interview sa mall nung parehas ding araw. Yung mag-ina na pumara sakin nung una, nakita ko sila ulit. At syempre pinara din nila ulit ako. </div><div><br />
</div><div>"Pwede bang humingi ng pamasahe?, kailangan ko lang papuntang Bulacan"</div><div>"Pwede na ba ang sampungpiso?" sabi ko. </div><div><br />
</div><div>pero this time at least, hindi sila parang naiinis na sampungpiso lang ang bigay ko. Nagpasalamat pa talaga. Nung una, inisip ko na joke ba to? Magkababayan lang ba sila nung naunang ma'am/sir na pumara sakin?</div><div>Nung huli ko na lang napagisip isip na ano bang meron sa Bulacan at parang lahat ng pumapara sakin e pupunta dun? </div><div><br />

Anyway, halos 3 years na'ko naka-braces. Pag nakabraces ka, it's either ikakaganda mo or otherwise. Ako..otherwise. . Kaya nung inalis na yung mga brackets, iba yung naramdaman ko. Pakiramdam ko talaga may magbabago sa buhay ko. <br />
<br />
Naalala ko tuloy nung natanggal na yung mga braces ni Ugly Betty. Isang buong episode ang nilaan para lang dun! In the end, gumanda sya, tumuwid ang buhok, napromote sa trabaho, at ..nainlove sa kanya yung boss nya. Gusto ko rin gumanda, gusto ko rin mapromote, pero hindi ko naman yata gustong mainlove yung ... sakin...? ....<br />
<br />
ANYWAY. <br />
<br />
Naalala ko noon, sobrang saya kong nagkwkwento sa isang kaibigan, tapos bigla syang tumigil at sinabing "Wag kang gagalaw, pipicturan ko lang yang orange na nakasabit [sa ipin mo]" -True Friend $@%&! <br />
<br />
Dahil hindi na ko nagaalala na pag nagsmile ako, may nakasabit na kung ano sa bakal,mas nagiging confident na ko magsmile at makipagusap sa tao. Yun, isang pagbabago na yun. Confidence..<br />
<br />
I welcome the change. I can really feel na katumbas ng pagbabago ng shape ng mukha ko, magbabago rin ang mga konting mga bagay bagay sa buhay ko. Diba nga, "True life is lived when tiny changes occur". It might be just a tiny change, but it is change, nonetheless. <br />

It's Mother's day again and unlike last year, ginawa kong memorable para kay mama kahit papano ang mother's day.<br />
<br />
1. Binigyan ko sya ng Day Spa gift certificates. Maraming nagsasabi na ang gift certificates ay binibigay lang ng walang maisip na iregalo. Unimaginative daw kasi walang preparation na involved.. Pwes, ang mahal kaya no! It's the thought that counts naman. Natuwa sya sa mga massage, facial, etc na nakalagay sa mga certificate. At nakahinga ako ng malalim dahil natuwa rin sya dun sa "Diamond peel" service dun. Akala ko mao-offend sya.<br />
<br />
2. Bumili rin kami ng cake [at ice cream] para sa tatlong espesyal na nanay sa family namin. Yan ay sa kadahilanang alam naman namin na hindi nila ito masyadong kakainin dahil sa hindi na pwede (diabetic, cholesterol, high blood). Ergo, sa amin mapupunta ang malaking bahagi ng cake at ice cream. (evil laugh)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k_JkA8A3vII/S-hRVVK9Y_I/AAAAAAAAAvg/7W5zGa2lUqY/s1600/IMG_3877.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="347" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_k_JkA8A3vII/S-hRVVK9Y_I/AAAAAAAAAvg/7W5zGa2lUqY/s400/IMG_3877.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Nababasa mo ba ang nakasulat sa cake? (base ito sa aktuwal na reaksyon ng mga kumain ng cake)<br />
<br />
a. I O U (i owe you)<br />
b. mukhang stick man<br />
c. hindi kayang mabasa<br />
<br />
3. Alam ko na iisipin nyo na ako ang pinakamasamang anak.. pero .. Sya pa rin ang nagligpit ng pinggan! wah sorry. Nagrereklamo pa naman sya na <i>mabuti pa ang katulong, may day off.</i><br />
<br />
***<br />
Anyway, share ko din yung gift ng kaibigan ko sa mom nya.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Talking about parties, I attended my aunt's recent birthday bash and i partied like there's no tomorrow. My aunt had installed a disco ball in her entertainment room and the ball wasn't rented,.. it's there to stay permanently! And so I started dancing crazily and that probably cancelled any chance of having a lovelife. I think i ticked off any possible suitors. I know, I assume too much (hahaha). They also asked me if i took drugs. "Yes.. Orange Flower" I said just to shut them up. </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Orange flower is the most popular among the ecstasy pills. And yes if you are a nurse like me, you get to retain useless information like that.</span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The biggest reason i say i ticked off any possible beaus is this~ The theme of the party is The Psychedelic Sixties.

<br />
we used to play pranks on others via phone, which proved to be really effective! una, hindi nakikita ng tao yung facial expression mo at kung natatawa ka na. you just have to do great voice impressions.<br />
<br />
we chose a very likely victim from school, someone who wouldnt tell on us. siguro sa popularity pyramid, isa sya sa mga geek guys. but who am i to say? i wasnt that popular either. anywaysss, <br />
<br />
***<br />
<b>The Prank</b><br />
<br />
Phone ringing..<br />
victim: hello?<br />
Me& Sis (in our best american accent): hi, we're the DJs from 93.7FM radio, Britney Spears in having a concert in Manila next week and we're giving away free tickets!!<br />
<br />
victim: really (uninterested)<br />
me& sis: yes! all you have to do is sing a line from the song Hit me Baby one more time..<br />
<br />
victim (proceeds to sing): Oh baby baby how was is supposed to know...That something wasnt right here, oh baby baby i shouldnt have let you go.. i must confess, that my loneliness.. <br />
<br />
sis: okay na! you just won yourself free tickets to her concert. congratulations!!!<br />
<br />
***<br />
Since i couldnt contain my laughter any longer, i told him, "Goodness! hindi mo pa ba kami nakikkilala!!!" Sobrang nakakatawa kasi may effort talagang kumanta. And what's really funny is that he never guessed from the start that we were fakes bec we werent so good in our DJ accents and of course im sure we sounded too young. But the best best part is that i made him sing. to this day i regret the fact that i was unable to record the conversation.. haaay<br />
<br />
anyway, senior year came, and this geek guy victim of ours turned out to become one of our CAT officers. yikes! <br />

<br />
Would just like to share with you my good luck at present. I still cross my fingers each day bec. I dont want this blessing to be lifted from me. I know I always yak about my hardship at work and how hard it is to deal with <a href="http://bestpinayblogever.blogspot.com/2010/01/hello-there-its-been-ages.html">bosses</a>.<br />
<br />
right now, we're just dealing with paper work and filing so we're basically benign. im just under contract that's why there i no certainty of how long they'll let me stay. i was thinking that by the end of feb, i need to be looking for another job. that's the thing with research, it's not permanent but it somehow worked for me. anyway, my immediate superior just told me that they're letting me stay until April.<br />
<br />
PERK: i get to do almost next to nothing and get 2 full months' salary.<br />
<br />
wow. i cant believe my luck. i guess i can say that this is the payment for the tears and disappointments i had over the past month. it was really stressful. but i know i should still be ready to know what to do next with my life. ( and i am so utterly clueless)<br />
<br />
Plus i started going to drawing class again. They've been teaching me about face proportions and expressions.<br />

But if they are men, they tend to misinterpret and think that maybe i am being nice to them so we could date.<br /><br />There was one time. I chose this guy to be my partner in a beadmaking activity. (You have to choose one from the opposite sex). He made us wear <em>those</em> bracelets at church together. And i was so stupid not to notice that he was actually doing something that was supposed to be romantic. i never knew his intentions until he gave me that teddy bear with a heart and red candle. i kept the candle, though.<br /><br />and then there was this other guy, who i gave my attention to because he was extremely nice. i spoke with him and joked and laughed. but that was it. he was like an older kuya so i treat/humored him like one. then while i was having lunch that day, i saw him in some hidden position taking a video of me while i eat! grabe.. stalker!.. he really ticked me off. but i was trying to be so nice that i just got his camera and deleted my video which really looked disgusting. i mean who really wants to see a woman masticating food?<br /><br />that night, during the dance socials, sadly, i got to dance with almost no one because he placed his chair like a bakuran beside me. i didnt enjoy. lucky for me, my sister got me out of the situation by telling me to sit at her table. she's so good at that.<br /><br />there is still no good ending between these 2 guys. sometimes people think im mean when im trying to avoid converstaions wih them. in fairness to me, i think ive never done anything to consciously to mislead them. but no matter what i do im still end up being the bad guy.<br /><br />what is the lesson to be learned here people?kcatwomanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12546676135935094106noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612502033897194923.post-89950056986289352322010-01-21T08:03:00.000-08:002010-01-21T08:47:55.099-08:00BossesHello there, it's been ages!.<br /><br />I missed blogging a lot but one thing that hinders me from coming back here in this particular site, is the fact that it doesnt even have a <em>pagerank</em> so it's like i lost some interest in it. It became zero well within last year for a reason i have yet to discover but i hope that if anyone has an idea, could you please enlighten me?<br /><br />Anyway, even if i , the author, have lost interest in this blog, i hope you can spark some interest in it. go to the must-reads section on the left part. i have assumed that they are my better posts. thank you<br /><br />Updates:<br />I am so scared to write about my current job right now, because of my boss, who has never failed to terrify me every single time we meet. But because of him, i have become very, very successful in my job/goal/task. I cannot tell you the nature of my work bec im too terrified that he might find this blog or read about my murmurings..<br />Walls have eyes and ears.<br /><br />He is different from other bosses because you'd actually remember his face. I actually dreamt about his eyes (huge ones) after he got angry with me. Napanaginipan ko talaga.<br /><br />When his anger is on a rampage, it'sbest that you just shut up. But in all fairness to him, he doesnt get angry for no reason. But it's still best that you shut up.<br /><br />Have you had bosses that youre uncomfortable with?

"research". well im really into this field and im using my organizing and medical know how skills. i find it awesome that what im doing is something important (it's an international study). i was really overwhelmed with the enormrous amount of responsibility but now im getting the hang of it, thanks to answered prayers. my faith really increased.<br /><br />Anyway, i really hope i could push thru with my dreams in the drawing field. i really really hope..<br />maybe in the next few months i can post a few of the drawings.<br /><br />have a great day,<br />florkcatwomanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12546676135935094106noreply@blogger.com6
