"I've been inlove before. It's like a narcotic. At first it brings the euphoria of complete surrender. The next day, you want more. You're not addicted yet, but you like the sensation, and you think you can still control things. You think about the person you love for two minutes, and forget them for three hours. But then you get used to that person, and you begin to be completely dependent on them. Now you think about him for three hours and forget him for two minutes. If he's not there, you feel like an addict who can't get a fix. And just as addicts steal and humiliate themselves to get what they need, you're willing to do anything for love."

6 hours on the phone. I can say that I really missed talking to somebody on the phone for that long.. especially Marikar Monedero. Gosh. Anyway, Mega and I were able to have a conversation last night. Super funny. Christmas na Christmas and kung anu-ano yung mga pinagsasabi namin to each other. *evil grin* =) I really really missed her and our joke sessions. Haay. I'm lookng forward to seeing her and the rest of the jerks on the 7th of January. Hope complete tayo by then! ;) Hmm.. I am so enjoyin the break! Even if I am not busy wit a lot of things, I'm pretty much enjoyin my long hours of sleep.. my too much eating sessions.. and my long hours watching tv. ;) Haha. ;) New year's coming too soon.. One of my new year's resolutions would be if I have nothing nice to say, I'll just keep my mouth shut. Haha. =) And oh, I'd try to listen more than to speak. *wink* 'til then! ;)

Last night, we went to GB3 to celebrate my sister's birthday. here are some of our pictures:

I so love filipino cusine =)

Anyway, while I was walking around the mall, this mini kubo caught my attention. I took this picture in front of J.O. Its really really nice! I love it!

Moving on, we had our last meeting for the shift a while ago. Nag OPD kame. SO funny kse while I was looking for a not-so-toxic case, I ended up wit a patient wit cough and colds (daw) hehe.. Syempre I chose nalang that patient diba instead of the asthmatic patient waiting outside.. thinking I'd be sort of benign. But then, while I was working na on my NCP, I realized that I haven't gathered enough data for it. SO I ended up guessing nalang. Tsk. Bad. Do not imitate! Haha. Nakakatoxic mag imbento ng infos. The funny thing now is that when my CI asked me why my patient has flushed skin and yet she has so fever naman.. I just said, "maam, baka magkakafever palang?!" Haha. SO funny! I was like oh so defending my answer/s. Mega palusot talaga ako. Haha. =) Nakakatuwa. Wala lang.

Just wanna let you guys see our building's xmas tree located at the lobby (st. martin de porres bldg.):

It looks dull without the lights.

So thrilled na sa paskuhan! I wanna see the school wit so much lights!! And of course, I'm looking forward to seeing the fireworks display din. =)

Yesterday, I woke up wit a yellow flower (close to sunflower..but..not) beside me. It was really sweet of him to hand it over to my sister at midnight. I was really surprised. Never thought that he would do such thing. Really kilig. Haha. It's funny how I can still be in this state of kilig even if we're not in the "courting" stage anymore. Thought the "spark" would be gone when I have finally uttered the golden "yes.." but I was wrong. So wrong. Haha. I'm happy that we're finally official. Although there are a lot of villains in our fairytale, we still manage to stand firm.. and go on wit life.. So to those who don't want us to be happy.. go home! Earth is full! haha. Anyway, enough about that. A while ago, we went to the the Daughters of St. DOminic.. it's somewhere in Sta. Mesa, QC. We were there to accomplish one more task in RLE--school nursing. I was the emcee, and grabe, buti nalang I did good naman while I was there. Haha. In our practice at 7am a while ago, I sucked. Haha. Ria and I were laughing and laughing kse eh, that's whay our CI told us that there should only be one emcee.. so Ria and I had to play "bato2x pick" pa.. Haha. So there. Just a little background why I ended up being the emcee. So yun, I really really enjoyed it! I loved the kids! Especially Alexandra. She's a total brat! Haha! Nagkakasundo kme! =) I really enjoyed talking to her. It was really a memorable event for me. I love kids! Well, cute kids! Haha! =) After that, we went back to school na. After paghatid namin sa aming CI, we went on a roadtrip!! Total fun!! As in! Wit the super lakas sounds.. screams inside the car.. etc! LAUGHTRIP. Ang kukulit talaga ng mga taga RLE 3! After the roadtrip.. we went to the pav na, then chem lab. We evaluated the school nursing, and then dismissed na kme! Before going home, we went to Kodak muna para ipadevelop yung mga pictures. Chino, Ria and I were so kulit! Super evil ni Chino because yung total lang naman ng pagdevelop ng pics is P200.. he asked the guy ver there to change it to P400! Haha! Para mei pang McDo kme the following day. Haha! *grin* Then.. It rained.. it rained so hard. Did not bring my umbrella... so I was soaking WET. Good thing.. nagpaka gentleman si Chino.. he let me borrow his jacket. Infairness!! Sometimes.. he can be a super gentleman.. pero sometimes lang! Haha! Kidding! =) So there.. whatta day! We don't have a quiz on DOTS and Drug analysis tom! Yippee!!!!!! that would be all for now. =)

Me, Ria and Katey.. =) thanks for the ride, katey!
