Third Year Second Semester

looks like this sem is going to be tough but fun and interesting with all the new semestral subjects and new modules. new lecturers. new schedule. etc.. new haircut..haha!!!

I am trying to do something about my study habits and time management but it's so hard..really. I just lack self-control and self-discipline and that's something I am not proud of. I browsed the Internet too often and I watch TV series often too. grey's anatomy, gossip girl, house, the vampire diaries, glee and flash forward. oh my!!! that's too many TV series right? but watching TV series is my way of clearing out my mind from all the stress at school. what I need to do now is try to lessen my time browsing useless things in the Internet. less facebooking. less tumblring. less twittering. less of everything internetty.

btw, the legal med lecturers look so amazing. looks like they have so many interesting stories to tell. I am so looking forward to our lectures. it's sad though that Dr. Ribosa (?) is not our facilitator. I've heard a lot of good stories and endorsements about him. our facilitator, Dr. Jimenez is soo ancient but he looks very wise and powerful..I like it!!! he's really adorable too! :)

today we took a psychiatric evaluation test. we were asked to write a story about a 4 different pictures. it was fun formulating stories about pictures of men and women with different expressions. Me and my friends have different stories to tell..it was weird because we see the same picture but we think differently about that picture. I wonder what'll be the interpretation of what I wrote. I bet it's dark and twisty.

yesterday, something embarrassing happened in my psychiatry class. According to Suzy, there were lots of late students coming in and Dr. Conde, the lecturer is distracted by them. so Dr. Conde  asked the whole class (Section A+B = 200+ students) to clap and cheer when a student enters the class. and of course I am soo late, as usual. I think I was the last to come in. so imagine the look on my face when a class of 200+ students with lots of unknown faces (from Section A) who suddenly clap and cheered the moment I entered the class! I was confused. haha! oh my! it was totally embarrassing! and also it was a large class & it took me a few seconds to look for my friends who fortunately saved a seat for me in the THIRD ROW. good thing, Dr.Conde is a nice man. He smiled and didn't "aggravate" my embarrassment. he then continued on his interesting lecture on mood disorder as soon as I was seated. mark agas is in that class. haha! I wondered if he clapped and cheered too! hahaha!!! joke lang! :P

p.s. I will try not to be late anymore. it's totally getting me in trouble most of the time.

another p.s. my ipod is still broken. I can't seem to find a buyer. who would want to buy a broken ipod anyway? I have a question...please help me decide:  ipod classic 80gb or ipod nano 8gb with video and FM radio? I'll have to save up for this...maybe a semester of less food and no going to the cinema and no shopping and no partying with friends. oh my! that'll kill me. and I might do it after all for an ipod.

Home Sweet Home

I've been looking forward to this break (same with all school breaks) especially if you're studying 500 miles away from home. toxicity at school is sucking out all the happiness in me. it's like being stuck in a room full of dementors. and it's turning me into a zombie. I need this break. we all need it.

14 days at home is not much but it's better than no break at all. this may not have been the best break ever but it will do.

this is like my second to the last break but who knows this might become my last break ever..I might not be able to go home for the Christmas vacation especially since we haven't done anything productive for our thesis which I think will be passed next year.

sometimes it's boring here at home but it's the good type boring coz it's silent and the weather's very nicey cool and windy and there are trees and it's peaceful. I get to spend good times with my siblings, watched lots of movies with them, played poker with them and catch up with each others stories. we're not really good at communicating via emails or cellphones..we prefer to communicate in person that's why I really haven't heard from them when I was away.

as for my parents and my grandparents, they're still the same. they still nag lecture me day and night on how to live my life and how to be a good daughter, good woman, good Muslim, etc... well, they just want me to turn out into a good person. I know all they want is what's best for me. I admit sometimes it can be annoying especially if you're twenty two years old. I have no choice though but to listen to them since they're paying for my overpriced tuition fee at med school and all other stuffs I want need coz I don't earn a single peso on my own. it must have been very hard to raise a child especially if you're raising 6 of them.

sometimes I feel sorry for my parents coz I didn't turn out to be the perfect daughter they want me to be. but good thing about parents and siblings, they still love you whatever you do. they may tell you you look ugly with your multi-colored glittering fashionable get-up and tons of accessories, they may be annoyed with your loud voice and innumerable favors, and they may make fun of you but they're true to you..no sarcasm..no pretense.  just real people who truly love you the way you are.

I am so totally gonna miss them/it all!!! :(

Medicine Week 2009

it was FUN! but right now, I'm really too lazy  to write a long entry so ima just post pictures. weeee!!!

Sept 22 Med Week day 1: me and Suzy did enjoyed the circus-inspired booths outside the med building. balloons and banderitas were everywhere..

we were dismissed early that's why we got to hang out at the booths. we got free dirty ice cream and cotton candies.. yay!!!

we also get to pose with Dr. Imelda Dakis, college secretary, plus Keith.

that's Suzy and her light violet nail polish at the photo exhibit

B2 at the photo exhibit with Dr. Bautista and Dr. I-forgot-her-name-but-she's-a-nice-doctor

B2 with Dr. Dakila.. :)

in the afternoon, we went to see the Photo Exhibit at the med building museum. there were lots of nice photos.. the five physician/specialists who were responsible for the photo exhibit are rich enough to afford super duper cool SLR and high end digital cameras..so just imagine super hi-res photos with vivid colors..love it!

Dr. Dakila is one of the featured photogs..didn't expect that though. Dr. Dakila a.k.a. The Great is our surgery small group king facilitator/consultant. and he's like super duper angas cool, he's going to make you lose your panties mind.

But I like more of Dr. Moral's photos. Dr. Moral is a young, creative, fun doctor and I am so liking him this semester. not the like like.  but the like friend doctor.

September 24

Suz, Glenah, Keith, Brian, Tony and Karl, the 5+1 September Celebrants, treated us to a dinner at Dampa, MOA. Me and Marris (dapitan girls) got a ride with Brian.

 

pictures at Dampa will follow later.. suz haven't uploaded it yet. but then all you will see at the pictures are evidences of us just pigging out.. I know it's a shame coz we're medical students and we're supposed to know what healthy diet means and it  definitely doesn't mean binge eating of seafood and carbo.

September 25 THE BIG NIGHT: Interbatch Competition

The 2011 class ( Section A+B+C+D) have been preparing for this night! the 40,000 pesos cash prize is  quite a strong motivation to keep us so excited for this competition. They we have been preparing for this weeks ago. and since they we are so talented and the second years even make hamon us, we totally made sure we are so going to win. and of course we won plus a standing ovation. no doubt about that! haha!!!

I overslept that night and I missed the 4th year's performance and  mark agas fernan's stage appearance with the basketball team. awww. I was almost 2 hours late. if gemma hadn't call me, I wouldn't have woke up. but it's okay coz I get to sit behind the judges which mind you are very good seats. I was still able to scream cheer my heart out during our dance+singing+mission impossible number coz the judges are soooo cool and young at heart so they'd understand.

about the 40,000 cash prize, we donated half of it to the Ondoy victims coz we feel useless guilty sad for the victims.

September 26

I didn't know there's a typhoon. I was stuck at the dorm with no electricity, no water, no food..me and my roommate felt like we're in the survivor reality show. we don't know where to find food and we're so hungry and the only solution we could think of is to sleep and pray that tomorrow will be better than tonight. I totally forgot to take a shot of the flood in front of our dorm which is already above the knee but of course that's nothing compared to the ones I saw on TV. sad. *cries*

September 27

my phone's dead and still no electricity. the generator's still not working. it did work at around 3 PM but overheated after an hour. the electricity came back at past 5 PM already and then we watched the news and we saw unbelievable flood and floating cars and submerged city houses and lots of dead bodies too. sad. *cries* I totally can't believe flood could kill. sad. *cries* I felt the need I should do something coz if I want to, I think I could help even though me myself is also broke. but I'm still too lazy to do something and UST is too slow to organize something.

September 28

suz called me late in the afternoon and asked me if I want to come with them coz we are so totally going to do something to help and ...........

TO BE CONTINUED

I've been in front of the computer for almost 4 hours already. I need to take a bath, eat, read, and do other stuffs. classes are canceled until Wednesday and reading assignments are piling up on me.

long weekend

September 19, 2009 - Saturday

Aunt Nurcia and her cute little kids who are my favorite second cousins are spending their Ramadhan vacation here in Manila. I really really want to see my second cousins, I miss them so bad! So she asked me to meet with them at MOA. yay!!!

since I woke up late, I decided to go to MOA at around 4pm. I took the LRT1 ride. MOA was on a 3-day sale that day. It was crazy!!! there were lots and lots of people everywhere. just seeing them gave me headaches. I'm not really fond of crowded places.

I looked for Aunt Nurcia and the kids and found them falling in line for the Carousel. I was soooo happy to see the kids. they are still so cute as always. I hugged them, kissed them, squeeze them, pinched them and did everything to them until they realized how much I missed them.

JR, King, Rajan are like my brothers. I so love them! Aren't they adorable?

I spent the whole afternoon and evening with them. I badly miss home and my family!!! :'(

September 20, 2009 - Sunday

Happy Eid'l Fitr!!! :) (a.k.a. Feast of the End of Ramadhan)

I prayed at Quirino Grandstand at Luneta. I've always prayed there since I studied here in manila but inshaAllah I'll try other venues next year. :) then I met up with rox who also prayed there with the AMS. I then ate breakfast with them after the prayer.

deymn u eyebags! anyway, the prayer and the breakfast was fun, I love Muslims!! but it would have been more fun if I haven't had problem with my plane ticket. grrr..

September 21, 2009 - Monday

Me, Rox, Candy and Zandra went to the 4th International Ramadhan Fair at QC. it's my first ever IRF and I'm a bit excited because it's all about Moro Culinary and I totally miss home cooked Maranao food!! But then it turned out they changed the program coz we ended up eating McDonald's Food but at least we got it for free. Thanks to the YMPN people who have been very very nice to us.

they even introduced us to Toni Leviste, first Filipina Olympian equestrienne.

Rox is one lucky girl!!! Atom Araullo asked her, the president of the UP Manila-Assoc of Muslim Students, for an interview to be aired at TV Patrol.

We then get to pose with him too! :) sorry girls, he's taken.

We went home early. and then when I got to the dorm I hoped time would just stop coz the long weekend have been so fun and I don't want it to end. if time doesn't stop, I'll then be back to the real world which is lectures, books, exams, et cetera. BUT no matter how much I hope it would, it didn't stop...

and now I'm back to the reality I hate to love.

Gone with the Wind

 

I watched Gone with the Wind, a 1939 film, last week, finish it after 2 days. never really thought it wound be sooo long, I think almost 4 hours. but I really love the film. I love rhett butler and I love the hateable scarlett. I never really thought I'd enjoy watching the movie because I am never into classic movies. this is just the second classic movie I've seen, first was breakfast at tiffany's where I began to like Audrey hepburn.

Gone with the Wind is a 1939 American drama-romance-film adapted from Margaret Mitchell's 1936 novel of the same name and directed by Victor Fleming (Fleming replaced George Cukor). The epic film, set in the American South in and around the time of the Civil War, stars Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, Leslie Howard, and Olivia de Havilland, and tells a story of the Civil War and its aftermath from a white Southern viewpoint.

It received ten Academy Awards, a record that stood for twenty years. In the American Film Institute's inaugural Top 100 American Films of All Time list of 1998, it was ranked number four, although in the 2007 10th Anniversary edition of that list, it was dropped two places, to number six. In June 2008, AFI revealed its 10 top 10 — the best ten films in ten American film genres—after polling over 1,500 persons from the creative community. Gone with the Wind was acknowledged as the fourth best film in the Epic genre. It has sold more tickets in the U.S. than any other film in history, and is considered a prototype of a Hollywood blockbuster. It is also the first film with true to life color. Today, it is considered one of the greatest and most popular films of all time and one of the most enduring symbols of the golden age of Hollywood. When adjusted for inflation, Gone with the Wind is the highest-grossing film of all time. >>wikipedia.

and I think I'll see the movie again next time. :)

Audrey hepburn (Breakfast at tiffany's)

I want a Chanel!

I've been dreaming to have my own chanel bag. It's just so beautiful!

Isn't it just beautiful? I told you! :)

Since as of now I couldn't afford one, I am looking for a chanel inspired bag but I am still not going to buy the imitations because I just don't think it's right. But I am considering buying at thrift shops, that is if I could find an original one. Right now, I am looking for a bag that looks like a chanel and I am okay with that. my ysl bag is so worn out already. I badly need a new bag. can anyone help me? My budget is only 2,000 pesos. or if you want you can give/sell me your own chanel bag you're tired of. thanks thanks! :)

windows live writer

I do have a windows live writer installed in my laptop but I've never used it before and now I decided to try it and it's kinda cool! I also installed a new plugin called Polaroid picture and I'm so excited to use it. hehe!

the cat in our surgery class. he may be small but he's quite strong because he was able to survive the operation. this was last semester, haha! I couldn't think of anything to post..haha! :)

my first fashion shot for a blog. :)

 

this is my first fashion shot for a blog. sorry I couldn't find a nice background so it's kinda messy.

I'm wearing a shirt from happy days "new bilibid prison". they do have cute shirts. :)

the skirt is from Kamiseta. it's my first time to wear a skirt coz I'm not a skirt person.

wedge sandals from Mendrez. I just love high heels! it makes me feel more confident.

 

 

 

 

I am getting excited. :)

I think I'll be posting more pictures and other cool stuffs.

xoxo, bai a labi

werewolf

click play and listen to the song. :)
found this video at http://pigeonwithamonocle.blogspot.com/
and i love the song already.
hope you like it too.

i've been spending too much time browsing fashion blogs.
i just can't help it.
i still haven't bought a bag and a shoes, sorry i kept mentioning it.
i am so busy with school stuff, it's finals you know and i haven't done any shopping this month.
actually i'm also broke cause i used up all my money for my plane ticket back home.
i'm supposed to be saving up for a bag and a good pair of shoes but i just can't say no to my friends everytime they'd invite me to go have fun..they might think i'm a KJ (kill joy type) if i say NO..of course i'm not..i love to have fun! but having fun means spending my money. and i don't want to spend too much money this days cause i told you i am saving it up for something important. ;P

anyway, i watched breakfast at tiffany's tonight. audrey hepburn is just so beautiful and funny. i love her already. :)

i think i'm going to stay up studying tonight, for real now. haha.

good night. it's 2.30 in the morning. :)

eraserheads

i've been listening to eraserheads this month and i so regret not going to their concert last march 7 2009. i think that would be their last concert ever..huhu! actually i didn't know the concert would be on march 7 but it was still my fault coz i didn't even bother asking rox when will be their concert. rox and her sister did go and they said it's one of the best concert ever.. whoah!
Ely is just so cute! :)

anyways, we went to aling tonya's last night. we were planning to go on ice skating coz suzy has this coupin cards that'll avail us of a 50% discount but then since we totally enjoyed eating at aling tonya's, we lost track of time. we then decided to go watch watchmen. we thought the movie will be action-packed but unfortunately, it was a bit boring, the film basically concentrated on the history of watchmen. gemma and glenah even slept during the movie..haha! the girl in the movie heartbreak kid was there and i just find her funny every time i remember the heartbreak kid movie. :D

i must be studying right now coz next week will tougher than this week. finals is just so killing me softly.

i just love eraserheads and i just have to say that over and over again.

last night, i was wearing a two layered outfit, i kinda find it cute and cool and comfortable. glenah was wearing a two layered outfit too and it's cute too. i still haven't found a good bag. i have been looking for a chanel inspired bag but i just couldn't find one. of course i couldn't afford an original chanel bag and i have no plans of buying an imitation too. and there are no good finds at ukay store too. so sad. :(

flight of ideas is me so i am sorry if you find this entry jumping from one topic to another.

i really do need to study. i haven't done anything today. but i wanted to watch house. i need coffee. i want starbucks. caramel cream yum yum. okay i know caramel cream is not coffee-based..haha! :P we might be going to play wii next week..yahoo!

i want dairy queen! :)

that's it for now.
study for the finals! :)

sad entry

i feel sad and i feel like crying already.
i've been so addicted with browsing the internet for fashion styles and because of that i was not able to study earlier for my 1 major + 2 quizzes today. i started studying the night before the test. i was so sleepy, i was not able to read all the topics for neuropsych shifting exam (equivalent to midterm), i fell asleep already. i woke up at around 8 am but i just can't concentrate studying until i already panicked at 10 am because the test is at 12nn. during the test, i just don't know what to answer. yes, i think i am familiar with the questions and the choices but i just don't know the right answer. so i started guessing and i thought i was getting the right answers because i thought it looked right. after i was done with the test, i already thought i might fail but i was shocked that i just did not fail but i sooo sooo fail the test and the worst part of all is all my friends passed the test and i was the only one who so so so fail it. and now i realized i only have myself to blame..if only i have studied earlier..if only i haven't spent to much time browsing ebay and fashion blogs..if only i was able to buy the bag and the shoes and the vest, i was dying to have weeks ago, i wouldn't have spent too much time looking for it online.

so now i decided to shop on saturday morning so i wouldn't have to browse the internet online shops for designs, etc.

:(

fashion is love

i admit i have been too busy at school i haven't updated my closet for like months and i know it's a crime not to but what can i do i haven't been to the mall for weeks. blame it on med school. arrrrgghhh.. oh well, i still want to be a doctor..
so finally, my 6-day exam week is so over and i have no classes this tuesday. i got up super late. watched a movie. browsed the internet. looking on good earphones online coz i am planning to buy a new one coz i broke my ipod stock earphones i bought last july (stock ipod earphones are so not-so-high-quality). kept in touch with cousins and friends via text messages and emails. until my mom's 28 years old cousin asked me out at robinson ermita. woohoo! finally! someone asked me out coz i am so freakin' bored at the dorm. so i took a bath, dressed up and head to rob ermita. while i was waiting for my tita, i checked the different earphones on the different electronic store and there was sure a lot to choose from. i am into music but not into earphones. i was even shocked to find out that some earphones worth so much like 5k or more. i still prefer the speaker but i have to buy an earphone coz i have a roommate now and i don't want to disturb her while i am listening to music and she's studying. after asking for different brands and prices, i decided not to buy yet coz i think i still have a very few choices, i wanted to try and see if i could find something at trinoma especially at the power mac center (which i am planning to go to maybe during the weekends). you see, i think this earphones are investments. i can use it on my ipod and on my laptop. so i wanted to buy a branded-good to high quality affordable earphones. so i needed more choices to choose from and reliable store to buy from.

anyway, i met up with my tita at starbucks. ordered my usual green tea frap (i just love it). we talked and talked and talked until i realized that when girls turned like 20-ish, they all have the same problem, boys and getting married. i am not really the type who would want to talk about boys if i still have an option not to but it's okay with me if you want to talk about them too. well anyway, we also talked about life and other stuffs too until she mentioned that kamiseta was on a 70% sale NOW, of course i was shocked! i mean it's not everyday kamiseta would go on a 70% sale, like hello!!! it's 70% off! and it's kamiseta! i am not really a kamiseta fanatic but i like some of their designs coz it's so basic and conservative and colorful too. and i've always wanted a ankle-length skirt. so we went to kamiseta and i found myself so excited until she told me that they have been sale for like since january first so it only means that the good and cheap ones are already sold out..i so cannot believe it :'( *sniff* but good thing the ankle-length skirts are still available..i tried on a black and a blue printed one. both look good but i decided to buy the black one for a start (it's my first time to wear a skirt coz i'm not a skirt person, more like of a pants person). it's original price was P1,999 and i bought it for like P599, beat that! woohoo! :D and now i think i am coming back for the blue printed one. coz i think i might dream on it on my sleep too. haha! oh crap! i just realized my parents haven't sent me my allowance yet, not until the first of feb and i am already using up all my remaining money on clothes on sale. i mean i am doing the right thing, right? clothes on sale are something that only come like once in 6 months i think or once in a year so grab the chance and buy anything you like and will last for a long time, it's an investment guys!

dang i'm sleepy already.
it's 1:40 am, jan 21, 2009.

i still have to read something about prev med.
and do my patho homework.
too good to be true.

xoxo..

P.S. downloading Gossip Girl season 2 episode 16.

<33

i am glad there is still fashion and gossip girl that makes life so interesting and exciting.

second entry

i've been doing a lot of thinking and studying when classes started last january 5 so now i decided not to even think about this blog entry's title.

it's a new year.
the christmas break was short but i definitely enjoyed my vacation at my hometown.
first day of class was on january 5 and we already have a long exam in pedia. not-so-cool!
and then on the second day, which is today, we had one pharma 50-point quiz and clinical pathology practical exam. there are a lot more exams coming up for the next weeks. it just won't stop coming at all...

sometimes i think am i happy with my life right now? school and more school stuff + a very few parties. i am convincing my self that i am happy although i get sad sometimes too and i assumed that's normal for me since i am a hundred percent human being.

i so want to go to fall out boy's feb 13 concert at araneta..wonder wheere i could get cheaper tickets..hmmm..

oh well, that's it for now. got to eat.

eat cockroach

why eat cockroach?
i just can't think of anything to name my blog.
it definitely doesn't mean i like cockroach.
in fact, i don't like cockroach at all.

good night.
Peace people.

xoxo..
