It's Been A Long Time

I know it has been a couple of weeks since I last updated and wrote here in my blog. I was really busy with my acads because it is our finals week here in the University. I just hope that I passed all my subjects this semester and have a good academic standing. I hope that all my efforts in studying do pay off. 

There hasn't been anything going for me lately. I am just going with the flow and enjoying my time. I am now graduating in my Pre-Veterinary curriculum and I'll be entering the Veterinary Proper curriculum next semester! I am so excited! 

Wish me all the best and good luck to me. I hope I will survive next semester hahaha 

Happy Being Single

Valentines is just looming around the corner and this is the time for lovers to have the time of their life. It is a special day for them to remember their love for one another and to make sweet talks and gestures that everyone can hear and see. YES! It is the day that the SINGLES population of the country is reminded that indeed we are single. But don't worry. Being single does not make you sad on this day. We can still find sources of happiness and make this day special.

Being single gives you a whole lot of freedom! You are free to do anything and you can even fool around or just have fun in anyway possible. You don't have to consult a partner to ask if you can do this or you don't have someone who will nag at you for doing such things. You don't feel suffocated and you can move around freely. Lack of freedom and some demands of the partner causes some problems in the relationship of couples. 

Being single does not necessarily mean that no one in this world likes you or loves you. You still have your friends. They are always there to help you in times of problems and they are always there to protect you and always be by your side. You don't need a single knight in shining armor or anything of such because you have tons of friends that will take revenge if someone hurts you.

Life is wonderful so there is no need to feel sad on Valentines day. Though, we are constantly reminded that we are indeed single, we can still confidently say that BEING SINGLE DOES NOT MAKE YOU FEEL SAD OR MISERABLE. We just chose to be single because life is an adventure that is best taken alone for you to learn more about it and to help you search for yourself in times of troubles or we just haven't found the person that we are looking for or the person that we are looking for haven't found us yet. S.A.D. (Singles Awareness Day) is definitely not sad. It is our time to have the best time of our lives, to enjoy life while we are still single and with less responsibilities. 

Here is a song that I feel like playing on Valentines Day. It is an original song by Joseph Vincent. The song is entitled "S.A.D. (Single Awareness Day) 

Hindi Ko Maintindihan

Minsan may mga bagay na nagtuturo sa atin ng mga dapat matutunan sa buhay. Minsan nasasaktan tayo para malaman natin na ang mundo ay hindi lang puro saya. Minsan may mga bagay na masaya, nakakaiyak o minsan mapapatawa o kaya naman mapapatulala ka na lang ng hindi mo namamalayan. Ang hindi ko lang maintindihan ay yung mga taong sa isang bagay na kanilang pinagdaanan ay sobrang dami nilang natutunan na para bang kung ano ang kanilang sinasabi ay makatotohanan o kaya naman minsan ang dating ay sobrang expert na nila doon sa bagay na iyon. 

Let us take love for example. 

Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit yung mga taong nagmahal at minsan ng nasaktan kung makapagpayo ay wagas lang talaga! Para bang sila ay isang philosopher na nabuhay na ng matagal na panahon at napakarami ng napagdaanan. Hindi naman sa lahat ng bagay pare-parehas ang nangyayari sa buhay pag-ibig ng isang tao, pero nakakabaliw lang talaga sila kung makapayo na

 "gawin mo 'to", 

"'wag mong gawin yan!",

 "oo tama pag intayin mo sya"

 at marami pang ibang nakakabaliw na mga kasabihan. 

Kung iisipin mong maigi ha,

nasaktan ka lang nung nagmahal ka ang dami mo nang  natutunan bigla? Wow, kung ganun lang din naman ang mga bagay bagay ay nako ako ay kada araw ay maghahanap ng mamahalin at mananakit sa akin para madami na akong matutunan sa buhay. (hahaha joke lang) 

Minsan nagugulat na lang din ako na "talaga? ganun yun? parang hindi naman." ganan yung naiisip ko kapag may mga taong kung makapag quote ng tungkol sa buhay ay para bang ang tatanda na nila, to think na ka-age ko lang sila! TAE ano bang nangyayari sa mundo? Ako na lang ba ang walang natututunan sa buhay? 

I don't aim to hurt anyone sa post kong ito, pero hindi ko lang talaga mapigilan ang mga bagay na naiisip ko kasi matagal ko ng pinipigil na magsalita pero ngayong nasabi ko na....ok lang hahaha. Sabi nga ng isa kong friend "nasaktan lang, parang naging wise-man na agad". 

Pero hindi ko din naman masisisi ang mga tao kung nagugustuhan nila yung mga payo or sinasabi ng mga ganung tao, kasi nakakarelate sila, siguro iyon yung aking problema, hindi ako makarelate sa kanila kasi malay ko ba dun sa kanilang na-experience na iyon. 

Hay life...makahanap na tlaga na mananakit sa akin ng may matutunan naman ako! HAHAHAHA oh well malay natin maging super wise ako at marami na akong maipapayo na tungkol sa buhay. Teeeheee

at eto na lang ang masasabi ko sa inyo....

you better run, faster than my bullet :) 

Thinking Positive For 2012

2011 is definitely not my year. I could say that because there are so many things that had happened to me this year and some are not really good experiences at all. Some experiences brought tears into my eyes and some are emotionally torturing while others are physically or mentally difficult. 

2011 started for me in a bad note. Second week of January, we were all having fun eating lunch when my bag got snatched. My bag with my psp, wallet, books, notes, workbooks, handouts and everything else that I need for my academics. It was all gone and I felt like there was no hope for me anymore. No one could talk to me and all they did was comfort me. I could not say anything and I was not in the mood to talk either. 

In the year 2011 I also got problems with my acads. It started with my English 2. My teacher was definitely a terror. The class was like a philosophy class and not a writing class. We never discussed anything regarding writing we only talked about social issues, abortion, pornography and others that does not relate to our lectures. I received a grade of 4.0 (conditional failure) for that subject and I only got 15 units credited for that semester...but the problem did not end there. 1st semester of my 2nd year as a Pre-Vet student, I also received my very first 5.0 and it was in Organic Chemistry. It was the most challenging subject for me at that time and with that said I failed the subject an I was really disappointed at myself during that time. 

In the year 2011 I also had so many visit at the hospital. It all started with my accident last summer before the end of May. I dislocated my kneecap and I got admitted at the hospital for a day and was transferred to another hospital the following day for the relocation of my kneecap. After three months and a week of rehabilitation, I got into another accident where I slipped inside the court because it was raining that time and some parts of the court was wet. I was brought again to the hospital an found out that the kneecap has already moved a few centimeters away from its original place and that there are torn muscles and ligaments. It was the most painful thing for me that time. I was wearing a knee immobilizer and it was really difficult for me to go to my classes especially when I have to go up stairs since most of my classes are in the 3rd floor. After 3 months and a few weeks of rehabilitation, just when the knee supporter was removed, I encountered yet another accident. I slipped on the stairs and dislocated my kneecap again and just recently I was yet again admitted to the hospital and was brought into the emergency room and was kept under observation. They had run some tests. They collected my blood and was ultrasound and then they collected my urine. I was in severe stomach pain during that time and the doctor thought that it was appendicitis. After some time running the test, the results were out and I was diagnosed with acute cystitis that led to some blood infection and some blood in my urine. 

In this year I also met new people and made some friends. It was really amazing and great and the experiences were really fun. I had fun meeting new people and discovering new things each day about them. There were also times that I had fought with my friends but reconciled again. There were also moments were  a friend and I did not talked to each other. I also made a really special friend this year, but somewhere I don't know what happened. We now rarely talk or we never talk at all. We used to talk almost everyday even pure nonsense but now, we haven't talked. 

Despite all of the negative things that had happened to me this year, I am quite thankful for those memories. They say that pain is a good things because it only shows that you are still human and that you are still alive. There are also good things that had happened to me this year some I may had noticed while others I may had overlooked. 

I am hoping for a better year next year and I am thinking positive for 2012! 

2012 please be kind to me :) 

My Christmas Wishlist

Christmas is nearing and yet here I am again waiting for something amazing to come into my life. Since it's the season to be jolly and all I want to make a post on the things that I want to have this Christmas, though I know that this is only a wish, I hope that at least one of them can come true. I am not that materialistic but hey I can be sometimes if I want to. So here goes my shot at my illusive wishlist HAHAHAHA

First on my wishlist is to have or receive a book. Any book will do as long as it is a book worth reading and it must be something that I will not waste my time on reading. Sounds vague? I know! I really don't know any good book right now that I want to read, so if by chance you know anything that is worth reading and really enjoyable then don't hesitate to tell me.

Second on my wishlist is to have a Canon DSLR especially the 600D model. I really want to own and have one for myself since I want to have something that has the capacity to take pictures and videos at the same time. Having one can also help me in getting good pictures and in making quality videos.

Third. I want to have a new laptop. My current laptop is not functioning well enough anymore maybe because of the years that had passed through but it can still be used and it is still quite functional hahaha. Since this is just my wishlist, I will go for something that I really want. I want to have a Macbook Air. I know that it is quite expensive but who knows maybe someone with a kind heart will give me what I want. Hihihi.

Fourth. I want to have a car. A Volvo XC60 will suffice since I want to have a car that I can use when I have a lot of things to carry and also for my family when we are going somewhere to travel or just a simple ride for my friends. I want a car for convenience especially when I will be having duties at the clinic a car will be of great help when travelling since the campus is quite far from the vet clinic.

And my last wish is something that is not a gadget or anything that is concerned with being materialistic. I simply want happiness and love for this season. I want to feel the warmth and the oh so joyous feeling.

I hope that everyone will have a blessed Christmas and that each and everyone will be reminded that We are celebrating Christmas not because of Santa or the gifts that we want to receive. We are all celebrating this event because Jesus was born and we should always remember that it is His birthday and let us remember Him and offer a prayer of thanks for him this Christmas.

ADVANCE MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

A Visit at Isdaan

December 4, 2011 I together with my family went to this place called Isdaan to celebrate my mother's birthday. It was our first time to try going to these restaurant because it was just recently that it was opened to the public. The place is quite good and the view is very pleasing as well as the atmosphere there. It was a fine experience and I wish that we could go back again to enjoy and eat. By the way, the food was extremely good and it is not that expensive. There are also many statues of all sorts and there is a pond where there are so many fish and a river that flows all around the place!

Here are some pictures of the place :)

We stayed in this place called "Crocodile Lagoon" and the name was quite obvious HAHAHA

Saw this statue beside a crocodile along the bamboo bridge :) 

My mom enjoying a photo op with the crocodile :)) 

yummy pancit :) 

Ginataang kuhol it was quite good and it was my first time to eat one :) 

Koy pond

The giant Gorilla statue which you can see easily when you are on the road because it's really big! 

Tacsiyapo was a fun experience! breaking glass-wares and  other stuff and throwing them to the wall was really fun! 

The experience was fun and there are a lot of things to see in this place. It was like an amusement park with delicious food and also the staff and the waiters here are all so accommodating and are readily there to help you and serve you :)

WHAT A LIFE

Life is really unfair. Well, I think half of it is also my fault. 

In my previous posts I said that I had encountered an accident during the summer and in that accident I dislocated my left kneecap. After 3 months, I dislocated again my left kneecap and this time it had torn some of my muscles and ligament. And yes after 3 months of rehabilitation, I dislocated my left kneecap again. I think that life is really cruel to me...just when I'm on my way to recovery, here I am again feeling the same pain that I felt 7 months ago. It is painful but not as painful like the first time that I dislocated my kneecap. 

I had known from the beginning that this accident can occur again because my orthopedic doctor told me that my kneecap had moved a few centimeters away from its original place making it more prone to be dislocated again. I had taken care and watched every step I take but maybe what I did was not yet enough. I overstepped on the stairs because I thought that the distance from one step to the other step is the same, but I found out that they are not and I found it the hard way. I felt something snapped in my left knee and I immediately told my friends that I am in pain and they advised me to sit. When I had sat down, I tried to stretch my left leg and poof! My left kneecap moves farther to the left. Imagine your left leg and there is this big bulge at the left side of your knee. That is how my leg looked like. My friend who saw what happened was speechless and did not know what to do. Then I tried to bend my knee and with some push the kneecap went back to it's original position again. I was able to walk and I was still able to attend my last class. When afternoon came, I saw that my left knee became swollen and I immediately went home. My mom called me because I told her that I dislocated my kneecap AGAIN and I am in pain. She told me that I still have some of the medicine that I took when I dislocated my kneecap last time, so I immediately drank the medicine. The medicine was a pain reliever. I felt drowsy and I slept through the pain the whole afternoon. 

Sad to say, I am still in pain and I am afraid to go and see my doctor again. I am afraid that he might schedule me for surgery and I cannot afford to do that at this time especially when I still have my school. Having to do surgery may force me to have a leave of absence this semester and I do not want to do that because a semester delay in our curriculum is also equivalent to a year delay because subjects in the college of veterinary medicine is seasonal and it is either offered during the first semester or the second semester. I hope that my situation is not that serious and I hope that I do not have to go under surgery yet, but if the doctor says so....then I don't know what to do.  

Reminiscing

I could still remember it clearly like it was just like yesterday. It was still clear and I can still recall all the details that had happened. In the past years when I came across that thought, I got annoyed, mad or irritable. It was really a pain for me when I try to remember all those that had happened. As years went by little by little, when I remember that certain event in my life the pain got less and less. It was just this week that I realized that I was not upset anymore and I was happy. I was happy to the point that when I try to think of that event I find myself smiling and thinking again and reminiscing all that had happened. 

Sabi nga, you have truly moved on kapag naisip mo ung tao at ung mga ginagawa nyo dati at hindi ka na naiinis sa tuwing naiisip nyo ang mga bagay na ginawa ninyo. It was like that for me. Ngayon, sa tuwing naiisip ko yung dati, hindi na ako naiinis o kaya nagagalit o kaya naiirita. Kapag naaalala ko hindi ko maiwasang mapangiti na lang kasi parang sa loob loob mo ang sarap din pala nung ganung feeling, yung walang galit para sa isang tao o kaya hindi ka nagtatanim ng kung ano man dahil nasaktan ka o kung ano man. Para sa akin sapat na yung nakilala mo siya at kahit papaano naging parte siya ng buhay mo. Kasi kahit papaano minahal mo pa din ung taong yun at kahit anong sabihin mo meron padin kahit konting pagmamahal para sa kanya na naiwan dyan sa puso mo. Dati nung nangyari ung day na nagpaalam na kami sa isa't isa parang wala lang. Parang isang kaibigan lang na nagpaalam tapos magkikita lang kayo ulit bukas. Pero hindi pala ganun. After ilang days, doon lang dumating ung feeling na masakit din pala. Yung feeling na parang sinasaksak ka kasi nawalan ka ng isang kaibigan na sobrang napamahal na sayo. 

Nagkaron pa din naman kami ng chance para makapag usap. Nagcelebrate ng birthday ung isang friend namin, at parehas kaming nandun. Nag usap kami at ayun parang iyon na din yung last time namin na nagkasama. Naglaro lang kami ng cards hanggang umaga at kumanta sa videoke :)) tapos nag poker din kami. Oha san ka pa ang saya lang! Pero yun na din ung last chance ko na makasama sya pala. Kasi after nun wala na di na kami nagkita or nakapag usap. 3 years ago nung nangyari ito. Medyo matagal na din pero ngaun ko lang narealize yung mga kalokohan namin noon. Masaya din naman kahit papaano. Nakita ko nga pala siya a year ago, ayun nagkatinginan lang kami at nagngitian pero hindi kami nag usap. Sapat na siguro yun at least nagpapansinan :)). 

I made this post because it made me realize that in your life, every person that you come across with will always be a part of the person that you are today, and that they had influenced your life in one way or another. It made me feel better that I had shared that thought and that finally it was out of my system. Also because someone told me that to be free from all worries, let go of the things that hold you back. So from now on, no more worries for me. I will live my life the way I want it to be. To my friend who told me to let go of all my worries, thank you very much for making me realize the things that I had been missing. And to my friend from 3 years ago, you will still be my friend no matter what. I love you and always take care and thank you for the memories.
