Bastardized
I don't hate my grandmother but she can get to my nerves. A few days ago she told me she wished I took up Medicine like my friend from college.
Argh.
And what better time to wave that remark at me than while I was studying for my Hematology assessment test?
It's not like being a doctor is the ONLY noble job in the world! And I wish she'd make up her mind. A few weeks ago she was going on and on about how a friend of a friend of a friend was earning so much in the States as a MedTech. Blahblah.
Ma, there's more to life than money.

Hello World!
There's this little piece of gingiva flapping around behind my upper left molar. The first of my wisdom teeth has finally decided to come out. Hehe. I keep on checking on the others - they're still shy, I guess.
Review class: Two friends and I in a sea of strangers. Just as well. No distractions.
We spent some minutes of our break talking about teeth and counting how many we had. Heh. 28 and a half for me.
Listen to Sade's No Ordinary Love. Genius.
No it's not rock, in case you haven't heard of her. Ain't pop either.
Genius. My gasbalbas.

Bearing Down on Me
A HUGE wave of doubt passed through me while I was taking the removal exam.
If that was how I felt then, what more in the last week of August?
My friend said she wouldn't be surprised if she gets suicidal.
Lord, help us.
...
So anyway, I wanted to feel that I wasn't really stupid. I took this test to make myself feel better. It worked (a little).
I wish the Board were that easy.
Does anyone out there know where I can BUY a really good memory? Aaagh!

Brusque.
A stompbox set-up that amounts to 59k? Please. Who are you out to impress? Me? A caseful of effects will not impress me. Back it with some REAL guitar skills and maybe I'll give you a second glance. That's just a maybe, though.
Being in a band doesn't automatically make you cool. Cuss words do not make you cool.
Saying pislabenrakenrol doesn't make you a rocker. And can't you coin your own phrase? Why do you have to use someone else's words? A well-known someone at that?
Please don't pass yourself as someone you're not.

Hee.
I hadn't been able to give her a bath before the pic so... this does not give justice to her adorableness!
Oh yes, she was the major player in this story.

Revived
I lost myself for a while back there.
"...you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need only of One thing."
And I found myself again.
Faith can mean so much to a person. It's so easy to lose yourself just by plain living. I wonder where people who lack faith turn to for comfort.
(This is not me passing judgment. This is me just wondering.)

Back to Being a Bus Rider
My mom and I were walking towards the mall exit this evening and we chanced upon someone I didn’t recognize at first. When I realized who it was, it was already too late, she had already gone past us. If only I could have ran back and caught up with her!
It was the bus conductress from my Nursery and Kinder years! When she saw us, she looked at my mom, pointed to me and asked, “Jill?” Wow. It’s been SEVENTEEN YEARS since I last saw the woman and she remembers me still! My mom told me that she ran into her one time and she asked how all three of us siblings were! BY NAME! I was touched. I do remember that she was so caring back then. Well, you know how important kindness is when you’re a child. I wish I could have just said hi or a thank you. Aww.

National Blunder?
Yeah, so the nation is apparently rejoicing over its victory – Angelo dela Cruz is home.
I do not share the same sentiment.
Our country didn’t exactly have a great reputation before all this happened. Now it got even worse. GMA pulled back the troops out of Iraq for what? One hostage. I’m not being heartless here but why should the whole country suffer the repercussions of pulling out the troops just for one person? GMA chose to pacify the unrest of some Filipinos, decided to risk the country’s stability, and went ahead and made a bargain with the terrorists. Here’s where she got me confused. She should, by now, be knowledgeable in dealing with terrorists. (in that there is absolutely no dealing with them) She has had enough ‘practice’ with the Abu Sayyaf. Plus, I thought the Philippines was ‘America’s strongest ally’ in Asia. It’s a fact that the US does give us much-needed aid. What made her suddenly decide to endanger the ties with one of the country’s most powerful allies? The decision put to waste much of the work that she did during her past years as President. (Ricciardone, the US Ambassador to the Philippines, has been called to Washington to defend the significance of US projects for our country.)
Angelo dela Cruz, you should be worth all this.
Update.
I just saw the news. The dela Cruz family's reunion was tearful and touching. I could understand how the family felt. It doesn't change my skepticism though.
I wish someone would lay out to us the steps the government took to arrive at their decision. Maybe I'd be less of a skeptic.

Heavy Servings of Laughter
Watched Along Came Polly. It was exactly what my brain needed after eight hours of cramming my head with facts. Watch it if you're in need of a good laugh. Kick back. Throw in a coffee and a donut while you're at it. Yeah.
I'm tired and the words show it.
Phhhffft.

Affiant
That's me.
I've been spelling my last name as de_la Torre since forever. It was only recently that I found out that it's spelled dela Torre in my birth certificate. Now I have to fix how it appears on my transcript so I can apply for the Board Exam.
Shoot.
I hope I can fix everything before August 16. If not, I won't be able to take the exam in September. Hello March Board. Hello Cytogenetics and Pharmacology - newly added subjects that we didn't take in college. Yeah, that's just spiffy.
All this for a space between some letters.

Kiddie Distress
Kindergarten. St. James Child Care Center. Boys and girls in the class.
I was hunched up in my seat, trying to copy what the teacher had written on the board as nicely as I could. She left us with the seat work and asked all of us in the class to please be quiet. My other classmates however, weren’t as interested in the work as some of us were. I noticed that they were getting pretty noisy. I didn’t mind, though. I was too engrossed drawing the lines and shapes with my Mongol pencil.
“Uy wag kayo maingay.”
It was Patrick, the tallest boy in the class. The ‘leader’ because of his height.
No change in the level of noise.
“Wag kayo maingay!”
Still noisy.
“Jill o ang ingay nila!”
Whoa. THAT made me look up.
To this day I still don’t know what made him say that.
John Doe
I like this series. (Although the pace at which the show goes is a bit too fast, skipping some relevant steps so you'd end up asking yourself how'd that happen.) I’ve watched all the episodes they’ve shown so far and I have to say I’m hooked. John Doe is lost, confused, and he’s searching for who he is. Boy, do I know how he feels. I think that's why I follow the show so religiously.
The difference between us is I'm searching for something I haven't the faintest idea of.

Bound and Gagged
I wish I could put myself out there some more. I feel so inhibited, like a chain's around my neck - tight enough to stop me from moving, loose enough for me to forget that it's there. I am held back by things that I cannot even recognize.
Waded into the murky waters,
And drowned in the abyss -
Death.
Smothered by your invisible hands.

Chewing On It
Do you know that feeling when you see someone whom you knew quite well again?
Hmm.
I don't know.
It's good you're in a good way now. I'm in a better place, too. Yeah, it was best that we parted ways.
...
So what am I feeling? Regret? A little of that I guess. It's sad to throw away a friendship that was as good as ours. I wouldn't want to have it again though. Too much work. Too much pain. No, I wouldn't have that again.
...
Do you know that feeling when you want to be more than what you were before so that some people will see just how well you've managed without their help?
Sad. I still get those 'I'll have my revenge' attacks every so often.
...
Do you know that feeling when you wished something just never happened?
