021112 - Part Two

Before anything else, the title of this post should be “Missing in action” because… I’ve been missing in action! I haven’t blogged anything for five days straight. School has taken up all my time, what with duty from Monday to Wednesday and lectures for Thursdays and Fridays. Not to mention the stress we all had to go through for our oral revalida for Pharmacology. We had to memorize 60 drugs (along with their brand names, indications, contraindications, nursing considerations, etc.) and we were only given a three day head start. It was a good thing that I got to answer, though. Our professor designed it to be a fishbowl type of “game”, and since I’m never lucky with these things, I expected to pick up a drug that I either didn’t get the chance to read or haven’t mastered yet. I was lucky because I got Furosemide (Lasix), a really common drug (and the drug I’ve been hearing ever since I started nursing) So to make the long story short, I survived our orals! I’m really happy to say that the rest of my duty mates got it right too! I’m so proud of you Group 1! (Yce, pahiram ng line mo ha. Haha!)

Anyway, that is not what this post is about, so let’s move on. Haha! Remember this post? Well, this is part two. Let me now take you through what happened in photos! :)

These are my cousins. I told you I would be with little people so I’m really glad I changed into flats (lest they might run away from big old me haha)

It took a long time before the fireworks competition started, so we did what any normal family would do while waiting - eat and take photos! :D

I had my hair down when we arrived but the wind was just too much so I put it in a bun. Naka-bun na nga ako sa school, hanggang dito ba naman! :P

Mama and Papa. Sige na kayo na! :P

Jinger and Tommy. They grow up so fast!

Chelsea and Tommy. I took Tommy’s photo in this angle intentionally to make him look thinner. I showed it to him and the rest of the family afterwards. He’s still gwapo even if he’s big but it’ll be better if he slimmed down a bit. I hope this photo will help him realize it! :P

Haha look at Papa trying to photobomb!

After this, my little sister took over my camera and went on to take photos of her favorite subject - me! Haha!

Chelsea wouldn’t stop taking photos of me (that explains the same poses haha) so I made ugly faces in hope that she would stop. I’m trying to look like a rabbit here, just so you know. Haha!

Sorry ha. Sabi ko sa inyo puro pictures ginawa namin, eh!

Incomplete family picture! My little brother Kevin doesn’t really go out with us a lot, so. :P

I’m going to say sorry in advance for the sucky photos. I didn’t have a tripod and I used my knees and legs to support my camera in hopes that they will stabilize my camera enough for me to take decent photos of the fireworks. Keri naman diba? Haha! Anyway, I did take videos so I might post .gifs of these (after I figure out how to make .gifs out of videos, that is) :D

Hello there! In my last post, I said that I would be blogging about our trip to Batangas if I didn’t pass out. Well I did so here I am making up for yesterday’s supposed to be post! Haha! Anyway, let me take you through what happened yesterday with photos! :)

Someone from my Mama’s side of the family died. I wasn’t really supposed to go because 1. I had AM duty the next day, 2. I still haven’t recovered from the week before (PM duty and Midterms week. How I survived I do not know) and 3. because no matter how hard I try I couldn’t set my body clock back on track and ended up reading a book until I fell asleep. So anyway, the following morning my Papa went in my room to make sure I wasn’t coming with them. For some unfathomable reason I went up, showered and dressed while all the while acting (and looking) like a zombie. Sobrang antok and sabaw ko lang! I was the last one to get ready and they were in a hurry to leave, so I didn’t have the time to put make up on (let alone brush my hair!) Haha!

Fact: I can survive without brushing my hair. I can survive without putting make up on. But I cannot, I repeat, cannot survive a long road trip without bringing any food with me. I do not know how I managed to make coffee and stuff tikoy in ziplock bags in less than a minute, but you know, food does that to you. Haha! Also, I just have to say this. I love Tikoy! It was Chinese New Year yesterday so the house was full of it. I wish I could eat Tikoy all year round! :)

Another fact: I love reading books so much that I read books during the times when I’m supposed to be catching up on sleep. I’m currently rereading American Gods by Neil Gaiman. I have been rereading a lot of books recently. I’ve had these books since I cannot remember when. I think I had them when I was 15 or so. I reread books because I want a newer perspective, now that I am older. I don’t know if I’m making sense right now, but yeah. Haha! :)

So anyway, here are more photos!

Hello, Batangas!

Big Bulalo pots. I love Bulalo! It’s one of my all time favorite ulam!

When I ran out of food and when my eyes started sending “Cha stop reading we beg you!” messages to my brain, I started taking photos of the fields and the sky. This is another random thing I always do during road trips. I do not know why. I’m so weird haha!

I know this post is so full of “facts” but here’s another one: I haven’t seen the ocean in three or so years (if I remember correctly, that is) The place we went to wasn’t really one of those sandy beaches but I couldn’t help but get excited on seeing the ocean once again. My sibs and I would scream “beach!” in very annoying high pitched voices every time we see a glimpse of ocean water behind the trees and houses. Haha! First time in a long time eh. Pagbigyan! :P

Tommy and Andrei.

This was me screaming (though I doubt you can see it in the photo) when I almost got wet by the water. Please do not think I’m maarte or something. I’m really actually a cowgirl at heart and I’m game for anything. It’s just that I wore the first things I saw in my closet that day (Obvious naman diba? Tingnan niyo naman suot ko. Haha!) and I didn’t even think of bringing slippers so getting wet feet wasn’t an option. Haha! :P

By the way, please excuse the quality of the photos. I still do not have my camera with me. I only used mobile phones for these. (Hire me! I’m raising money to get my camera fixed!) :D

Dear readers, meet zombie Cha. Anyway, this was what I wore. Just got out of bed ang peg! Also, very appropriate ang outfit ko diba! Charot!

Took a photo in the street! I’ve always wanted to do this! Wala kasing masyadong dumadaan. Probinsyang probinsya! :D

Then it was time to go home. I had nothing else to do (again) so I’ll leave you with photos of the sky and sunset.

I’ll be going to sleep now! I still need to wake up early tomorrow (AM duty) I hope everyone had a great day! Good night guys! :D
