Ate would probably kill me if she found out I posted this here I guess I better not tell her hehehe. Just playing with the phone during a study break. It was a clinical day, thus, the candy-striper uniform. Everyone hates the uniform hahaha but after we’re done with this gig I’m using the shirt as pambahay because it’s really comfy.
I was so proud of myself for losing 10 pounds over the summer. Half of said lbs were gained during the first year of nursing school. 11 weeks in the semester, of course, I gained most of them back. Arghh…
Last Thursday we got the result of our second exam. I passed, but barely, and it’s silly but I became depressed for the rest of the day. I talked to a couple of people who would understand but I mostly kept quiet because I didn’t want to offend anybody who had it worse than me. So I sat out the 4-hour lecture, feeling more miserable after every hour, and after, I stayed with the others for a classmate’s baby shower. It was another hour or two of forcing myself to smile and talk at the right moments. I was drained so I bailed on my study partner and went home early and slept for most of the afternoon. So what’s the point of the story? Wala lang hehehe. Wala na akong tagapakinig ng mga detalye ng buhay ko kaya sub muna kayo hehehe.
The next day back to normal, almost, so I made my favorite Knorr Crab and Corn soup to console myself and watched Kiki’s Delivery Service. It’s a Studio Ghibli anime film, the same studio that produced Howl’s Moving Castle, which I’ve seen 5 times already and I’m still not tired of it. KDS is the first DVD in this new collection. A little about the story - it’s a sweet and simple, coming-of-age story of the young Kiki who left her home to find a life/career in a new city. Now for both films, I’m very impressed with the animation; it’s a major reason why I enjoy these films. And the soundtrack…how to describe…nostalgic.

Before the end of the day, I finished two papers, yay. Thursday sucked but Friday was very good, productive and relaxed.
I hate Saturday nights. Bakit? Kasi parang tinetest ang self control ko. Pero ngayong gabi I’m putting my foot down and I’m not doing whatever it is that I’m thinking of doing. Sabi ko sa kanya, “Maging masungit ka na lang kasi sa akin para mas madali.” Syempre, tinawanan lang ako. Aisshhh. Stop stop stop.
Ito po ako at nagba-blog na lang at nagsesenti sa mga opm songs hehehe. Kelangan ko talaga mag-aral kasi may exam ako sa Lunes pero pahinga muna kasi galing lang sa biyahe. Alam ko na talaga dati na…
reading on the bus + empty stomach = hilo
…pero wala pa ring kadala-dala. Maya ulit ako review. Nagkakaroon na nga ako ng left-sided chest pains kakabasa ata tungkol sa heart. Sabi ko kanina sa dinner, “Magkaka-heart attack yata ako.” Tinawanan lang ako ng Papa ko. Parang lahat ng tao ngayon tinatawanan na lang ako. Ewan ko ba.
Simula ng pumasok ako sa nursing school nakaramdam na ako ng -
1. tingling sa paa, frequent urinations - kala ko may diabetes ako at nakakaranas na ako ng neuro- and nephropathy. Guilty ako kasi ang lala ng sweet tooth ko. Pero ngayon bihira na ako kumain ng chocolate. Promise.
2. nahihirapan ako lumunok - feeling ko may esophageal cancer ako, takot ako kasi mabilis daw mamatay.
3. iniisip ko nga kung may fracture ako sa shin kasi sumasakit minsan.
4. shortness of breath and palpitations - for various reasons, depende sa nangyayari, like anxiety, panic, nervousness, stress.
5. naisip ko nga na baka nastretch na masyado ang bituka ko kaya malaki ang tiyan ko (katakawan hehehe) kasi may napanuod ako sa TV about a museum ng weird medical stuff na may lalaki na may ganung condition. I don’t know if the previous sentence even makes sense.
6. Minsan isang gabi akala ko may scabies (aka galis) ako sa kaliwang kilay hehehe. Kasi sabi mas nararamdam siya sa gabi na parang gumagapang sa ilalim ng balat kasi nakaburrow sa ilalim ng balat yung mga scabies tapos sa gabi sila nangitngitlog. Pag kinakamot ko nawawala tapos bumabalik tapos ilang beses ako naghilamos ayaw pa rin umalis. Hanggang nakalimutan ko na lang siguro nawala na din.
Dahil pala sa scabies na yan may nalaman akong mga bagong word etymologies:
Nitpicking - To be concerned with or find fault with insignificant details.
Di ba yung anak ng mga lice ang tawag nits eh di kapag nagtatanggal ka ng mga lisa di ba attention to small details talaga yun hehehe. Thus the word nitpicking. Makes sense. This is according to wikipedia, if I remember correctly.
Cooties - body louse
Webster.com etymology: perhaps modification of Malay kutu (pwede din Tagalog kuto hehehe)
Bago ko po tapusin ang aking post na walang direksiyon, walang totoong topic, at wala sa ayos. Kanta muna tayo ng If You Asked Me To, MYMP version. Love the song. Galing ni Juris.
Gracey, I think na-post mo na to dati. Pagaya na lang
That’s what…almost 2000 calories already. I’m not eating dinner I swear. Well, maybe a piece of bread and coffee when I study later, I need the energy hehehe. I’m trying to watch what I eat. I’m not really dieting in a sense that most people would think I’m “starving” myself; that would be an impossible task. I’m just putting some variety into my diet (more fruits and veggies), more H2O, less sugar (ang hirap), and less processed foods. Plus, I’m trying to be more active. I want to start jogging but until now it’s just a plan. I know this is something I would enjoy, like walking. I want to take care of myself. Before I was just super conscious of my flabby middle now I’m more concerned about my overall health (tinakot ako ng nursing school hahaha).
I’m not so successful today, evidently. Because I felt guilty I walked home from school to offset some of the calories. Today’s activities were:
- Walk half of the way to and from school - 20 mins each way at moderate pace
- Up and down the stairs x 5 - classroom is on the 3rd floor
- Random walking around/pacing/fidgeting/jumping/stretching during studying and lecture/study breaks (I really can’t sit still and study for hours and do it in complete silence, I’d be asleep in 10 mins)
Still doesn’t seem enough after all that food. Oh well. Tomorrow is another day.
