recall.....

Its been quite a while since the last time I posted here in my blog. Im doing this stuff at 2:51 am on my time. Thanks to the starbucks brewed coffee I ordered around 3pm and white chocolate mocha which I am drinking right now, the factors why I’m kept awake right this very moment. Anyweiz I intend to stay up late coz I have no classes today.. its Tomas Aquinas feast day.

What am I suppose to write? Lately I have lots of thoughts in my mind. I’ve been thinking of putting these thoughts here in my blog but every time I attempt to open my site, I’m being attacked with laziness. I hope this time, it’ll be for real.

Let me start with… XOXO… you know you love me.. when you open my friendster site, you’ll see this on my shout out.. and probably on others too, like some of my classmates in medicine. There’s this sort of gossip girl craze going on.. haha! We finished up to episode 13 last Thursday at Mina’s place, with slices of pizza for a nice dinner. We went home 11:30 pm na.. hehe..


Well, I would say, for the past week, I had lots of difficulties and enjoyments. I had good and bad experiences. So where should I start?

First stop… my anatomy.. my most feared subject in medicine. Apparently I already got my 3rdbawi thing to do, I failed on the 3rd shift. From 76 last shift to 74 this shift. And to make things worse, my first shifting was like 63!!!! @@#@##@#... what kind of making up for my grades should I do? I tried hard, and there are people who helped me a lot as I think I worked hard on this subject. There’s jj, my primary tutor in anatomy.. and my friends tere, mina, and ema, who also gave the same support.. but why did this happen still?? Huhu.. I know I need to do lots of focusing this shift.. which should I consider as my last chance (though I still have the 5th shift..) shifting grades, and anatomy did not turn out good. Instead of wishing to increase my grades coz I have lots of


Next stop of bad memories.. in a place where I stay right now, I kinda have misunderstanding with my housemate. It’s been like more than 2 weeks since the “cold” war started. I admit it hurt me a lot, being ignored by the person whom I already considered a very good friend of mine. I admit my mistakes, I know it was my fault. But it hurts me so much feeling that what I’ve done is unforgivable despite the apologies with soo much sincerities I’ve done. I kinda have hard time staying here in my place, so as much as I wanted to be out. Being ignored by the person you like hurts, but it hurts more if you experience this with a friend, if the person you treated as someone you can keep for long time does this to you. But as time passed by, I have to convince my self that there’s nothing I can do. It just fears me that I may get used to feeling of being ignored that I may not care anymore, which I think is starting to happen. I already thought of my self that the old relationship my be hard to bring back. Perhaps it might me my choice to be distant, whether or not the cold war would cease. I do not want the feeling of having good memories with the person when we’re ok, but what if this happens again, the same pain would be felt all over again.. i'm afraid of feeling the same feeling i felt for the past 2 weeks.. believe me, it's doesn't feel good at all…just funny coz the week before the horrible night happened, we were all so good together… I suddenly asked that why is it every time I experience euphoria, there’s always a negative counteract??? If this is so always, I would not wish for sooo much happiness anymore..


But the other side of me contradicts such principle. Why not make it the other way around? If there’s a bad thing that happened, there could be a good counteract, right?


Looking at the bright side, there are also good memories for the week that passed. With my grades, well, in nuero, physio, and biochem, I got a grade of 80+ already.. though I already got to improve my grades, but they are still on the border, as reflected by my first shift grades.. (waaahh.. first shift really was a nightmare!) But I want to congratulate my self for improving.. and this inspires me to work harder. If I made it to improve my second shift and improve more on my 3rd shift, I know it’s possible to improve more this 4th shift.. only that I need to focus more.. triple my focus.. or may be 100x more focus!!!!!


But getting good grades isn’t just the effect of all these things.. I might be losing a friend (which I hope not), but I feel there are lots of them around me.. my classmates, my sisses, my old friends, who are there for me, assist me in my academics and at the same time listen to all my dramas and balances my stress by making me smile.. one thing I’m proud of, is that I am always blessed with good friends, which are kept for long terms.. and I know they are real friends, not just in good times.. I know it, coz that’s what my heart told me… ^_

So much for these things… lately I have crying nights, lonely nights, especially when I am alone. I felt so weak and helpless, with all the stress out there.. only when I’m alone that I come to these kind of realizations. I miss my family a lot.. I remember one night last week, I cried while looking at the family picture. I was talking to the picture! Imagine??? Haha.. but good thing I have friends out there whom I can reach via text msg that I felt their presence and calm me down..

This is another week.. as a promise to my self and to my mom and dad as well, I have to lessen my social life..if I can do it, I will temporarily drop my social life.. randell was right, 2 months is just 2 months, just short span of time, and who knows, it may pay off.. so for my friends out there who read this blog, I apologize in advance if I would resist in your invitations.. just until march, pls… I have to prove my self that I should focus, and serious in what I’m doing..


Oh Lord God, please give me enough strength to do the important things need to be done.. physical, emotional, and mental strength. Allow me to resist temptations.. I put all my trust in You.. and may Your will be done on me Lord.. Thank You for all the blessings… AMEN….

til here i guess... and who am i? it's a secret i'm not gonna tell... XOXO.... ^_^

lesson...
If there’s one thing I learned this week, that would be:

Don’t invest negative nor positive emotions toward people who don’t even care. It’s like putting yourself on a trap, hoping that the other party recognizes how you feel deep inside, yet you are just being ignored.

Just move on. Do not invest deep relationship, do not expect a lot. You might wake up one day, having hard time to let go. Instead, go with the flow, live for the moment, so that in case you have to drift apart, you have nothing to hold back and regret for the rest of your life….

minsan....
MINSAN...
by eheads...
a song that's perfect for my mood RIGHT NOW....

minsan sa may kalayaan tayo'y nagkatagpuan
may mga sariling gimik at kaya-kanyang hangad sa buhay
sa ilalim ng iisang bubong
mga sekretong ibinubulong
kahit na anong mangyari
kahit na saan ka man patungo


ngunit ngayon kay bilis maglaho ng kahapon
sana'y huwag kalimutan ang ating mga pinagsamahan
at kung sakaling gipitin ay laging iisipin
na minsan tayo ay naging
tunay na magkaibigan

minsan ay parang wala nang bukas sa buhay natin
inuman sa magdamag na para bang tayo'y mauubusan
sa ilalim ng bilog na buwan
mga tiyan nati'y walang laman
ngunit kahit na walang pera
ang bawat gabi'y anong saya


minsan ay hindi ko na alam ang nangyayari
kahit na anong gawin
lahat ng bagay ay merong hangganan
dahil ngayon tayo ay nilimot ng kahapon
di na mapipilitang buhayin ang ating pinagsamahan
ngunit kung sakaling mapadaan baka
ikaw ay aking tawagan
dahil minsan tayo ay naging
tunay na magkaibigan


in just one night, the laughters and childlike acts vanished due to stupid, childish behaviors.. which i am regretting i did... =( i hope it's not yet too late...
