new year's resolution

I never thought what will be my New Year's resolution and I am actually writing this, less than an hour before the first day of January 2009. So what will it be?

Resolution. According to Wikipedia, New Year's resolution is a commitment made by an individual - it can be to change one's lifestyle or to reform a certain habit. Reform which is to change. Maybe, change for the better. In my case, let me think. First on my list will be LONGER PATIENCE. Yes, it has been my weakness ever since I was born. But I have noticed lately, for the past months, I have learned to remain silence whenever I can sense my patience already waning. Unlike before, easily get pissed out and becomes hysterical. Talk about being rude too, especially to the person/s who literally irritated me. Special mention: my brother.

Second will be being positive, especially to how I look. I always feel insecure, this is a trait that has always dragged my self-esteem down. I want to feel positive. I want to be POSITIVE. I am an optimistic person but this personality of mine has been a wayward trademark on me.

What should my other resolutions be? I haven't got any for last year though, as far as I can remember. It is still a good thing to have resolutions. They serve as reminders of what you should do or improve for the coming days of your life. Just as long as they live up to their purpose. It will be a sad thing not to put an effort to make those plans come true for you. Life could be way. . .way BETTER.

Good luck to your New Year's resolutions. Keep on living!

MY BROTHER IS A PRINCE

Actually, he is not. Absolutely NOT. If he's a prince, then I should be a princess, but I'm not. He's not blue-blooded either. So, what's with the fancy title? It's because he ACTS LIKE A PRINCE. I don't mean to speak badly of princes but it is a general fact that a prince is served. Yes. A prince doesn't do his laundry, someone else does it for him. He lives in a grand palace and everything's set without him moving a finger. Bath, clothes, meals, dirty dishes. . . and even money is no hassle. He can spend on anything, someone else pays it for him (it can be his family's bank or the king's wealth itself). And that is how it compliments my brother well. He always feel supreme, an egoistic air floats around his character making it worse. I do not mean to be rude to my own brother but he started it. He is the one being RUDE and UNFAIR that it always makes my blood boil.

My brother can be charming and sweet, if he wants to. And that includes those times he needed something from me or from my parents. Like money to buy new clothes or stuff to give away to some "special" friends. He doesn't even focus on his own studies! What the heck?!?! I just . . . I just want him to be CONSCIOUS. To be wary of what he is doing, my mother is having a HARD TIME with him. He never offers help. And if he did help, it's quick as a lightning. He mostly TALKS BACK. I don't think he has the right to talk back when he, in the first place, doesn't act and behave well. I'm not perfect, okay? I'm not judging my brother. I just feel sorry for him. He thinks he KNOWS everything. He acts as if he is SMART ENOUGH to get away with his own mistakes. I know he is smart academically, but he is JUST LAZY to even push an effort to enhance his school performance.

I know my blog should be about me, but I'm talking about how I feel about my brother. I love him so much. I know I've never been the perfect sister, since I could be a BRAT when it comes to him. I care for my parents. I care about him. I just hope, this coming 2009, he will decide to be better. And I for one, will just pray for patience to absolutely stay firm. I do not wish to be back to the way it was before - the two of us constantly bickering. I'm tired to even do that anymore.

So younger brothers out there, be sensitive. Do not make your parents' or sister's lives harder than they were. And older sisters like me. Patience is all I can say.

shopping everyone?

It's a common practice, or should I say, a required routine for people to go shopping, especially during the holiday season - Christmas and New Year. And I admit, this year has been a grand shopping experience for me.

Let's just say that I have been to three-days shopping spree, one before Christmas and two before the celebration of a brand new year. I'm not bragging that I have the MONEY and the TIME to do this kind of thing. I'm just spending what money I've saved for the past months. Yes, money I patiently stashed in my wallet, controlling myself not to spend it otherwise. So what's with shopping? Many people love to do this stuff, and I'm not included. Actually, I do shopping whenever my wallet and schedule permit me to do so! Those will be when I need some stuff, as in NEEEEEEEED them badly that I have to ask my Mom to accompany me to the nearest mall. Beside those circumstances, I do not favor going to the mall regularly. Really. But I still like looking at the dresses and the bags and the shoes and the sandals. Ohhhhkay. I must admit I still like shopping, as long as it won't take me too long to stroll inside the mall.

And now that the season is back, more people are swarming inside the mall just to get their hands on the year-end sale. Too many people are flocking in, their money in tow and a long list of things to buy. Well, you can't blame them. It has been an insistent fact that they must have new stuff, especially circular things when the break of another year comes in. Homes must be sparkly clean and the table is filled with delicious feast. You won't know who's coming over to eat and chat!

As for me, my shopping experience is fun. I bought a lot, much to my expectations - bags, sandals, tops, shorts, dresses. Thanks to my savings, I had pull it all through. Still, I kept in mind to buy a simple gift for my Mom, for her wondrous efforts. She sweetly asked for it, though, I just can't say NO of course!

And yes, even if still there are people who can't shop till they drop, including me, let's not forget the values of sharing and saving. It's never a huge responsibility to give something to someone. And it's a good thing to save, for whatever future's has in you.

So, are you ready to do more shopping? :)

achoo!

I hate having sneezes. Did I use the right term? And having it just couple of days before New Year makes it worse. But my case is not just a simple sneezing, but a repetitive one! Yes, not just once, but even more than 5 in a couple of minutes. It will leave me with an aching throat and weary body, not to mention, my poor nose! My friend, who has the same regular problem told me I have ALLERGY RHINITIS. So, I checked the internet to read something about it, though I'm very familiar with the term already.

ALLERGY RHINITIS is an inflammation of the nasal passages, usually associated with watery nasal discharge and itching of nose and eyes. The characteristic symptoms include repetitive sneezing, as I mentioned a while ago, rhinorrhea, post-nasal drip, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, ears, nose or throat, and generalized fatigue (thanks to this website - http://www.healthscout.com/ency/68/208/main.html). It's my first time to encounter RHINORRHEA, and it means "runny nose". And this badly needs a lot of supply of tissues, I tell you. So that is why I am having a VERY hard time getting out of the bed this morning, my body seemed carrying a pile of cement on the back! I find it hard to speak audibly, my voice is groggy and creepy (yes, it's a mixed muffled and husky voice - if I described it right). This has been a usual predicament for me, repetitive sneezing, runny nose and nasal congestion. The last one makes it difficult for me to SLEEP. I will find myself having a hard time breathing, as if I'm suffocating that I have to breathe using my mouth LITERALLY.

Well, I read more and saw ways to treat this ailment, through antihistamines, decongestants, nasal sprays and even allergy shots, since allergy rhinitis is caused mainly by allergens. I think I'll be needing some medicine. For the past years, when I have such condition, I just drink water or wash my face. And endure it. i guess it won't work that well.

Is this inherited when my father has a record of ASTHMA? Hmm..

....

Ma, do we have Benadryl? (me trying to ask my Mom for an antihistamine drug).

hello 2009

Another year is on the roll and now it is time for the year of the Ox, as based on Chinese calendar to take its toll. I decided to search some basic information about this year and soon enough, predictions for the 2009 are already available on the web. The pinoybusiness.org provided a lengthy discussion on what to expect and what to prevent in the coming year. With my heightening curiosity, I decided to click on the forecast for those born in the year of the snake ( I am born on year 1989). I read about three unlucky stars who will bring about bad news to my life - an elderly getting sick, fluctuations and "emotional rollercoaster", as the article stated in relationships. But since there's no elderly in my family and I'm not in any kind of relationships (boy-girl, of course), can I say it won't be applicable for me? Next stop is the lucky stars, as Chinese astrologers called them, and it was written that there are more shining lucky stars on Snake-borne individuals like me, compared to the past years. Promising marriages, promotion, salary-raise, and improved leadership skills are waiting to be achieved! Is that a VERY good sign? I can say, yes, but only one can be possible for me, and that is IMPROVED LEADERSHIP SKILLS. I'm never that good even though I have been elected officer many times back in high school days. As far as I can see, I'm a mediocre when it comes to leadership.

Okay, forget about my leadership skills and back to the main gist - year 2009. I am not the kind of person too inclined on forecasts or superstitions, not to mention astrological beliefs. Even in my own country's "pamahiin", I do not personally obliged myself to apply them in my life. Just a few, maybe, and mostly influenced by my mother. Yet, I respect those people who firmly believed on such, to the point they depend their lives on these superstitial stuff. If it applies to them, why not?

The bottomline is, you make your own future. Yes, another year will come, again and again, it is up to an individual to work it all out. Even if I've read on predictions that I, who was born in the year of the Snake will have it good this year, I can even make it better. Life has many surprises waiting to be unfold, and I won't doubt 2009 has more to deliver. May it be inspired by the stars or good luck, year 2009 will depend on where you are, what you are and how you are doing it. If you want change, then CHANGE. If you want to be the same, stay the same.

As for me, I'm willing to do BOTH. Change for a better person, which I badly needed to do (learn patience!) and stay the same as the simple and family-oriented girl, born in the year 1989.

A BLESSED HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!

a love that never began in the first place

why is it hard to let go of something you never even own in the first place?

why is it that someone makes your heart confused in one second,

and gets it broken the second after?

why is it that someone lets you fall in love with him,

with just being himself?

why must everything start from an accidental glance?

and ends with a realization everything will not last..

knowing it never even start right.


sighs.

champions in its truest sense

recently, palacasan 2008 ended with a blast.

palacasan 2008 is a semestral sportsfest among CAS organizations. CAS stands for college of arts and science in the university of the philippines, los banos.

the list of games/sports included basketball, volleyball, table tennis, swimming, track and field, chess and ball games, such as 2ball, 3point shootout and buzzer beater competitions..

anyways, the main gist here is that our organization emerged victorious, being the overall champion. that's overwhelming, but we know best that we deserve it.

we were also champions in the women's basketball, second runner-up in men's basketball, second runner-up in table tennis doubles, first-runner up in women's table tennis... and the list goes on.

it's really fun.you get to enhance your skills in every sport you play, and gain friends in the process. also, gain memories you'll ever cherish.

that's what made my first sem, busy as a bee, aside from the pile of academics on my shoulder..

yet, i am very happy.
philobioscientia is truly a champion, the best-est org ever.
and i'm grateful i became part of this family. :D

mini-reunion of my hs batch 05

i'm so happy.

it has been ages ago since we had gathered together like this.

although, i was late, i'm thankful i've come.

and good thing, i wasn't that much super late for the event.

we ate together, watched movie together, and chatted with one another.

even if too much distractions caused misunderstanding, the mere presence of being close to your high school bacthmates is an overwhelming feeling.

i missed them so much.

i remember, denver said, "you were silent the last time we had a gathering like this."

i said "maybe, now, it's overwhelming to see you all again. i just can't stop myself."

yes. all this past years, i was waiting for someone to be there. to jusy hang out without any pretentions. to just relax and open up. and last night, they were there..

years had passed, but just by looking at them..

it's timeless.

the moments we shared.

i thank God.

a person like me, to have friends like them.

p.s.

lie - take care going back to cebu
kaye - every bit of your advice is truly appreciated. (i need em!)
shane - seeing you again is nice. considering we haven't seen much of each other in lb.
shan - keep it safe. thanks!
denver - i never did expect you could be so emotional. listening to you gives me the overpowering surge of emotions!
adrian - hope everything with her moves on positively.
aj - i know, we were immature before, but still now, we still can't help but be immature sometimes.
kyra - as always, you're pretty.. are you really imported from germany? hehe.
sonny - i miss your draing (anime). i never did learn though. sighs
arthur - i'm so happy i saw you again. so happy. as in!
syrold - you're back. good luck in your nursing career.
nico - you're confidence is inspiring..nice to chat with you last mini-reunion!
rem - fine.i'm always wrong.but am i'm right if i say "you just missed me?" haha. peace.
vin - haven't changed? you still stand out.
junbelle - o well, you still play unfair.(bleh!)

^they were the ones i've been with in the mini-reunion...

to my other batchmates, i miss you too!!!!

proud pinay

i'm so happy i became part of this "angelo aquino's proud filipino project".

well, i'm really proud to be a filipina, despite everything that my own country has been put into.

being pinay is so overwhelming.

even if i'm not a fair-skinned damsel,

nor a blue-eyed lady..

i'm contented with my "kayumangging balat" and brown eyes..

i thought before, i have black eyes. haha. until now, it is confusing me.

nevertheless, i dream to go around the globe, but i'll stay here in my country.

what can i say?

i'm noahdel hallel francisco.

PROUD FILIPINA.

summer classes!

after almost a week of break from studies, here i am again, going back to the university to be a student once more.

next week, summer classes will be starting and i don't know if i may be able to go home all throughout summer since my schedule doesn't give me much time to travel back home and stay for a while.

well, i will just have to make way for it.

btu hopefully, my grades last semester are okay. really.i do hope so.

frankly, i'm in not much good shape but i did my hardest best.lol.is my grammar right?

on the other hand, my short break was filled with playing online rpg games.especially flyff.yep, my brother and i were addicted.but,it ends for me, since classes will resume.

so sad.but that's the way it is.

^_-

Sunday, March 30, 2008

pissed.sad.hurt.

damn.

i just physically assaulted my brother.

he can be so irritating to the point of being unnervingly hostile.

sighs.

why must i endure the bad judgment later on then?

isn't it me always being reprimanded here?

i was never properly appreciated - even just in small account, that would be very nice.

sometimes, i wish i could fly away and find my secret haven where i can feel secured and safe.

sometimes, i wanted to forget everything, to have amnesia or to sleep unnerved by everyone else.

i'm always in pain.always lost.always hurt.but do they notice it? no,even if i'm seen as transparent as a clear plastic.

maybe if i'll doze this off, i can let it go eventually.

yeah, maybe, eventually.

LOADED..no time for rest

i hardly slept soundly last night since i stayed up late, reviewing for my examination tomorrow, which until now, i'm not yet done.

and there's still a pile of school works to do..
my head's getting heavier each second that counts..

i can't even breathe a little to relax..

sighs..

online registration for summer classes 2008

wow. it's near end of another semester and the beginning of summer classes for the year 2008..
it's a continuous struggle of a student to carry on with his/her obligations.. even if it means letting go of your summer plans in a faraway island or travel across countries...
yep, you can't lose the opportunity to take subjects which can help you lessen your load for the next semesters and give you hope of not being delayed. \

well, Godbless, since subjects are limited for the summer..

and that's where my problem lies..

tsk.

Saturday, March 8, 2008

few weeks to go

it's nearing the end of another semester..

lots of pressure..

school works..

tons of requirements..

tsk..

i wish i could pass all my subjects for this sem..

goodbye to a canine friend..

[same blog written in multiply account]

one of our dogs passed away last wednesday, almost five in the evening..

i just learned of it a while ago, and that prompted me to write something.

i will miss him - non-breed dog, but known for his flexibility in getting himself inside narrow spaced railings and for being panicky whenever fireworks could be heard.

i will miss his bouncing brown and white fluffy body coming to meet me as i stepped off the tricycle, announcing that i have arrived home.

i will be always reminded of the many sabbath days that he is present, attending church with the whole family.

once a baby, grew up in our custody and now left us already..

but memories of him will still be burning alive deep within our hearts.

rest well clipper.rest well.

is it left or right?




You Are 25% Left Brained, 75% Right Brained



The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning.

Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others.

If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic.

Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.



The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility.

Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way.

If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art.

Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.

anatomy exam again and again..

well, that's how a zoology student life started..

begin with anatomy.

then be fit for the next subjects in the coming semesters.

but for now, i just have to dwell with two exams, both lecture and laboratory.

good thing to say, i haven't flunked any exam so i just got to be consistent.

Godbless me. :)
