i'm libing ooon a jit plen!
but i do know when i'll be back again.....hehe...jologs.
im here in an internet cafe here at P. Madrigal, adjacent to Lacson St. in UST. around 7:15am, dad decided to bring my sister first in her school, since she was the one who always sacrifices for my sake...she usually gets to school whenever i have to go to UST around 9am. nakakaawa nga sa sister ko kasi baka mapabayaan niy ang tuluyan grades niya. eh i thought naman, the canter doesn't leave for bulacan as early as 7:30am. sure, that would be the assembly time but it leaves after an hour or so pa because we most of the time go with a doctor. my temper has subsided when we came to her school early, so feeling ko mga before 8:30 ako makakrating ng USTe. while dad was figuring out which road to exit (coz we're in Q.C. circle), my co-intern called me on my cel and informed me that we won't be leaving until 12 noon. aaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! my dad just laughed at me and at the same time thanked God kasi we were not in a good mood a bit kasi late kami (durrrr....as always!). All things worked together for good! tumpak!
nainis ako. i told dad i wanted to go home muna kasi wala akong gagawin. pero hindi na raw ako ihahatid kung ganun ulit sa school. yoko nga! bigat-bigat ng bag ko. so ayun...i had my mcdo breakfast. antay ng konti sa med catwalk, at eto...internet na. hehe
sige...alis na daw kami. baboosh!

MUSHY AFTERNOON
i'm here in manila since yesterday. the blessing of the center at Sapang Palay (UST - St. Martin de Porres Community Socio-Medical Center...whew!) was scheduled yesterday and consultation for the out-patient department was closed, so that would mean rehab will also be closed. though my co-interns weren't there with me at sapang, i was with the 4th year OT students because they conducted a seminar to the locals at a certain barangay. we also went home in the afternoon and i'm glad that i gotta free day today. whoopee!!! at least i had the chance again to savor my bed, the comfort of my house & family, and of course....will i ever forget my dear TV and internet?! ;)
my mom woke me up at around 12 noon in a panic mode. she was like so happy to inform me about something interesting. natawa ako when she was excited to tell me that, "Dianne, yung F4 nasa TV! nagbo-bowling sila! dali!!!" haha...gosh...i shouldn't have included this one here. my reputation could have the possibility to get ruined. ohhhh!!!! jyowk!
anyways, as i was surfing the tv channels, i stumbled upon this one particular familiar film. The Mirror has Two Faces. di ba? for me it was a sappy yet interesting story...if it's possible to happen to people. sure, there should be no kissin and other physical stuffs between the couple but duh...after marriage?! and they get to sleep on separate beds because the guy thinks that marrying someone is only for the sake of companionship and nothing else beyond that. shall we call the thought an insanity?! i bet you've seen this already...if not, i suggest you grab your video membership card and rush to the nearest blockbuster store kasi it's a nice movie. i cried in the end, actually. i have seen this before; but then i guess absorbing the lines and all wasn't my thing that moment kaya walang impact sa akin. i must tell you, i get really emotional every valentine's day. but all these things will always come to pass...nagda-drama lang naman ako. and it's normal! back to reality ulit ako pag ganun.
my life has just begun; i've finally found someone...aaahh!
after watching that, i changed the channel to ETC. there i saw a Shark Tank Wedding...very unique and soooo non-traditional kasi there were no entourage. talagang love has its own definition and has different ways to show it to the ones they love. also in TODAY Show, they also featured Everyday Heroes. this one's really touching. a guy had a Spinal Cord Injury, C5 quadriplegia, in this condition, he was a few marks away from his wedding day and his graduation as a medicine student happened months after the injury. i wasn't able to catch the story about the accident but it was touching to know that his fiancee still decided to marry him depsite of the additional burden the circumstances has placed upon them. now, the guy has graduated from medical school and he's currently a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation resident in a hospital at North Carolina. talaga nga namang under that specialization pa siya! a doctor on that particular aspect ang tinataguriang boss ng mga PT, OT, Speech Therapists, etc...mga pang-rehab. he has an assistant nurse kasi he knows in reality he cannot do all the things the doctor normally does..being independent and all. i guess his wife is an OT kasi she was helping out her husband eat a meal in a modifed manner with certain utensil adaptations and she's all dressed up as a therapist. basta...when i saw her, OT nga. hehe. she was talking to the show hosts that though her husband has acquired such disability, there are several adapatations that the two of them can do to be able to satisfy their needs as husband and wife and around their home. at yun ang tinuturo naming mga occupational therapists!
o sige na...madadrama na mga sinusulat ko dito. baboosh!

Just remembered, tomorrow will be the 2nd LovaPalooza at baywalk, 6:30pm....
hmmm....
it's officially saturday...and im still awake. i cannot say that im happy, i cannot also say that im depressed..
maybe it's the valentine's day that's coming up...yuck, nag-drama nanaman ako. kaya i refuse myself from listening to love songs, my emotions get stirred up. naiiba nanaman focus ko. i know it's natural for me to have this kind of feeling sometimes---being gloomy and all that. but concentrating more on my studies and on eternal things should be our priority. love can wait. it just pisses me off whenever i tend to rush things and eventually would end up in disaster. true love waits nga. a TV ad caught my attention, can't remember which product it is but the background song is "What the World needs now." the scene is in a subway, and there are so many couples inside being snuggly and sweet...then there's this one person who has no partner. well, of course in the end when there were no people left inside the train/car except for that guy, there's this girl who appeared as the sliding door opened..then the rest is history...siyempre. happy ending.
close-up ata yun. wala lang, the symbolism is cute...
tomorrow, i'll be posting my entries while i was in sapang. i have a great testimony for you guys!
later.

IT'S LOVE MONTH...can you feel it? Ako kasi hindi...wahahaha!
All the characteristics I placed below as my answer are based on what my future husband should be like. Of course these are my personal standards but not sure if this is in tune with what God wants for me to have. Honestly, I'm soo excited to know who I'm gonna be with for the rest of my life. Yesterday in church, our Youth ministry handled a seminar entitled "True Love Waits." As for those who haven't heard of that, it's about a Christian way of tackling things regarding love and how to handle it under the Lord’s qualifications and guidance based on His Word. We did not only discuss about falling in love with a person but also to whom we should distribute the gift of love that the Lord Jesus has given us. On our first day of seminar (it has a continuation on next Saturday), we have learned that there are specific persons who will be needing our sincere love; and it's represented by the 5 fingers of our hand:
Thumb - God
Index finger - you
Middle finger - family and friends
Ring finger - future mate (future husband in my case)
Little finger - future children
I do not need elaborating these 5 things…ang haba kasi eh! Haha. Pero I do hope that you'll get to encounter this seminar or anything like it under Christian context kasi it also gives emphasis on sexual purity. People nowadays wouldn't care if they would give in to their sexual or physical desires-they say it's just a matter of knowing their true feeling for that person and if they thought they're serious with the person they're with, they can engage into something that sooner or later, they'll regret it for the rest of their lives. They did not realize that they're giving away a huge part of them that should be allotted for their husband. Di ba? you enter relationships and end up being heart-broken because you did not pray for it or you did things that are not under the context of the Bible.
Sexual purity is a big deal. It must be!
Teka teka…hahaba nanaman to. I have to research pa for my Special Topic Report tomorrow. I'll be presenting it in front of the 4th year students who will be visiting Sapang Palay kaya feeling ako bukas. Haha! Gosh, I wasn’t able to write here my entries when I was in bulacan. Dapat kasi ganun ang gagawin ko but…I enjoyed being in church for the whole day yesterday and kanina, after church I chatted for a little while then went home na rin. To maximize my time in….WATCHING TV!!! I don't get to do that kasi pag nasa bulacan ako. I missed my family, friends, tv, internet, my comfy bed, everything about home and manila. When we were on our way to UST last Friday, by the time that we saw the "modern civilization", that is, seeing the busy streets and tall, concrete buildings of the metro, sobrang abot hanggang external occipital protuberance (yung bony prominence sa likod ng ulo natin..kapain niyo..hindi yung batok ha) ang smiles namin.
I thank our Heavenly Father for helping me survive my first week there. I was able to establish rapport with my 2 co-interns (buti na lang girls sila pareho) though medyo nahihiya pa rin ako and that I miss my friends back in school. 2 of us know how to cook meals kaya we got no problem as to what and how we're gonna survive our stay there and maintain being healthy. Kain, tulog, aral lang kami actually dun. 8-12am are the clinical hours, fieldwork (which starts this week) in the afternoon tapos come what may na sa gabi. We have advocated a 4-hour policy in the evening, which means we have to study for 4 hours every night so we can maximize our stay there. Para sa Grands and Orals na rin namin. Kokonti lang ang may ganung opportunity. Kaya siguro ok lang na walang tv or anything that would distract me para I would at least concentrate more on my studies...para naman makatapos na ako ngayong year!!! One more thing, walang spooky akong na-feel. PRAISE GOD! The angels of heaven are always there even before I arrive there to cleanse and guard every corner of the place that I'm gonna stay in. Whenever I do things alone like being in my room or going to the comfort room, I always think that the Lord's angels are with me and protecting me from any evil spirit that could scare me. I thank the Lord for the precious blood that He has covered upon me.
Okay, after a long wait...ito na yung survey na nakuha ko from Friendster.
