Like, DAH (Des, Anni, Hersch)

Today I had a vacant time from 10:30 am to 1 pm, so I decided to come along with the triple date with Des and Hersch, two of my dearest friends from sj. Hay. Eh alam niyo naman ako, excited ako sa mga ganitong long-time-no-see meets, so imagine my hyperventilation when we finally met for lunch...

The meeting proper-

Mga 11:20 pa ata lumabas si Hersch ng building niya (as predicted by Des na medyo last siya lalabas)...and after 10 minutes delightful chika with Zsa who happened to be hanging around there sa car park, pumunta kami sa P. Noval para kumain ng lunch. Kahit mainit ang araw (ssssssssss) sige lang, nagpayong pa ang lokang Hersch, hahaha...nakisilong na lang ang dalawang chikas sa magkabilang tabi niya.

Lunch, laugh, lamon-

Since Des had her baon, she just bought a drink. Hersch bought pasta (kasi wala yung paella)and I bought a rice meal which really diappointed me coz it was too tough for my poor braced teeth, and so I had no choice but to finish what I could and forget the fat and the rest of what was set on my plate (it looked deceptively tender yum, so I've been had).

Of course, while the myx music channel was running on tv in front of us (imax ito, sosyal kami, nyahahahaha), chumika kami while eating. Hyper na relaxed naman ang mga noisy lolas (pano kaya yun no), dahil we had about two hours to share.:)

Aside from the weird and unusual feats and performances namin (tulad na lang nung last Tuesday's Moulin Rouge scandal ni Herschel with the tube and cloth-budgeted skirt- I want an explanation!!! >:P) and unusual class experiments (like how Des suffered her bruises just yesterday when she had a (literal) turnaround do-the-catwalk scandal of her own- kumusta naman, mare!;P), I gave them a recap of what happened and anong pinag-usapan nung saturday night out sa MOA with Pau, Bern, and Jrep (recap lang, sorry girls- it's not mine to tell eh, hehe).

At magandang teaser naman ang naibigay ko, kasi balak kong magset ng meeting with the group again when available na tayo. Which might mean around the 2nd wk of October na, since feel ko magiging busy tayong lahat...huhuhu...

2 Phallic Symbols-

Duh, we green intellectuals (owning up to that, imagine...) all should know what this means, but anyway medyo napag-usapan lang namin kasi si Herschel ehh..! (magsumbong ba...wahaha) May ganun daw sa building niya and ayun, it disturbed her a lot when she saw it...kami rin, when she told us of it as a side story to the main incident in her class. Sabi ko sa kanya we'd like to see it sometime, but well, we might just not coz we're not permitted to enter her building (aaawwwww).

Pero yung isa, yung alam naman ni Des (discovered through a classmate daw, hahaha) nakita namin kasi open to public, kailangan lang ng green-tinged eyes to see (harry potter? hahahaha, ya know what I mean). The purpose of seeing that hidden symbol prompted me to suggest walking right where it was- for a...ahem, verification, occular inspection...whatever, hahaha.

So while still chatting on the way with tears of laughter rolling over our cheeks (esp Hersch) and pain our mandibles (tell that to Des), we somehow strolled like daytime drunkards (kasi naman ano, sa katatawa sa kuwento with matching actions eh nagpasuray-suray kami) sa lovers' lane aka Benavides lane, however you wanna call that.

And under the direct and blazing heat of the noontime sun Des casually pointed to the not-so-obvious figure ("Ayan, o.") and we were laughing so hard again, with mostly arts students around us casting the supposedly prim ladies (nursing, pt, accountancy, hello?) a very disturbed look, swear, hahaha, nadegrade ata ang colleges namin at that moment of full-blown eruption of laughter...(Is that supposed to be bad..? Not that we cared, it seemed...nyehehehe)

So we still walked, umupo sa Quadricentennial Park where there was a beautiful functioning fountain (malamig yung air, so magandang tumambay dun). A little more chika and we were off...to the clutches of reality? Of course as usual medyo sad na naman ako, pero I chose to perceive the blessing of such a rare opportunity with them, so the heck with goodbyes- it's more of a see-you-later thing anyway...

Ayun, so Des and I had classes to return to while poor Hersch could do nothing but go home na since wla na kaming mga faithful escorts niya (hahahaha). For a last do-you-this thing, Des and I offered to accompany her to one of the hospital exits where she planned to ride a jeep home. Umakyat na kami ni Des, and there, the end of the meeting for today.

So, you wanna know kung kumusta na ang dalawa?
  • Des is still bubbly, iskandalosang naipagpalit na ako sa kanyang mga boylets (at girlaloos). Tandaan mo yan bruha ka...T.T Lam niyo ba I always see her with at least two guys on either side while walking, ano siya, donya? Hahahaha.
  • And Miss Hersch is still- *grabs her by the shoulders and shakes her* where did you take Herschel??? What have you done with her?! (in other words, she's fine...(-_-)) Teka, her quotable quote? (no kidding to ah!) Picture this, in public (she replies to my joke):
*She stretches up her arms, with palms facing up and says, "I'm for sale!"*
Yeah baby. Anyway, I hope to meet them again some time. Sana nga...kasi for the record, last time I met Hersch was June, just about five minutes. Si Des, yung typical hi-and-bye namin sa same building, di rin naman counted as a decent meeting out. :) So I thank God for this blessing of a great time with them. Ang tagal na talaga, grabe...

Tekaaa...! Girls!!! We forgot to take pictures!!! Aaaaaaaaaaa!

Ok, signing off...for this entry, I mean. Hehehe. (7pm na! *gasp*)

Patience is a virtue?

I do not like waiting. I admit to being such an impatient person, kaya nga siguro ako nilagay ni God sa nursing, para ako'y magka-'patient', hehehehe...patience through dealing with sticky situations, seriously.

Speaking of which, andito kasi ako sa UST lib, stuck without anyone with me, bored and waiting for my ma to come and fetch me so I can go back to the comforts of my own home and my own spot in front of the pc and type my overdue script. Which might mean I can't sleep until probably 1 in the am (I am really aiming to finish it asap!!!).

Hay. Aw well. When I started asking God to give me patience, I already had in mind that I should be expecting him to give me these situations that require my patience...parang it's like, for example, I wanna be a better writer. A good way is to go to a workshop for writing, where I can actually practice my skills, right? Obviously if I wish to learn to write better and I keep going to a cooking workshop...well, nothing's gonna happen with my set aim, duh.

Parang ganito siguro yung situation ko. I am sincerely praying to God to let me develop my patience towards troublesome cases (like where I am now). I shouldn't be expecting patience to just come like magic, coz that won't be fruitful for the long term- God isn't that shallow to be that way. Siyempre I should learn it. And learning is a constant process in a person's life, so I shouldn't expect it to have it now, like instant coffee when you just add water to it.

And I really have to learn...so I'm trying to keep my fingers busy...I missed this blogging, hehehe.

Tif! This one's for you!

Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday happy birthday....happy birthday to you!

Reparations

Finally! After weeks of having to deal with my ruined blog, my new improved (though less animated) blog has been made out of the rubble. Yey.

Anyway, so kumusta kayong mga friends ko? I sincerely pray that you are all fine. And know well that I love you wherever you are at the moment you read this. :) And I miss you!

Kahapon natuwa naman akong nakita ko ang mga old friends ko from sj- si Repa, Pau, at Bern. Naglagi kami dun sa mall of asia. Ang saya. Chika galore, drink juice and h2o, and then we played sa Timezone. I discovered the pleasure of Guitar freakz and that trivia game, thanks to my delightful company. This is such a fun way to relax after this week's exam struggle that I had to endure. I know I can never find another time such as this.

Ayun lang muna. I guess kahit i-describe ko pa ang mga pangyayari kahapon, hindi ko pa rin talaga mashshare yung joy na nadama ko then, having seen my old friends and having talked with them after a very long time...five months na ata since we last met? Hehehehe.

I can't wait to write more entries again...this is such a fun resurrection. Timely rin for me, dahil naisulat ko ang good news na ito, hehehe.

Peachie must try abstinence

As much as I hate to say it, I think I'm having to much of a good time recently. Too much that I feel unsettled with the imbalance, hehehehe...such condition is not good.

I don't want to be a killjoy or return to my solitude lifestyle, but I just think that I should exercise some self-control on my part. I know myself too well to understand that I am going beyond the capacity of my human self (weirdo). I cannot go 'blaming the environment' for being too conducive for some good-old self-gratification.

My closest friends should know: like most of us in the circle, peach is an adventurer at heart. And to state it simply, I think I'm committing 'overindulgence.' My next step to this now is to resolve to take advantage of what capacity I can humanly manage and do what I should with this fault of mine...

How, you may ask? Well I've been trying to avoid pinpointing the GCF (nyahahaha greatest common factor, yeah right, peach and math? eeeeeeew).

I just think I should stop seeing someone for a while. Yun lang. Kasi frankly the fault is all mine. It's my issue to address. I should keep my head (and myself, come on) on the course I am in. Do my duties. Keep me sane. Keep me busy and interested with med-surg, etc.

And above all, put myself together and go back to my routine of daily spiritual nourishment, which kind of slipped off since I started this addicting habit of going away, hehehehe. As I had proclaimed to myself one bright weekend morning, I just can't- and don't- want to be without God- ever!!! I will be empty again if so.

And as I have committed myself into a personal relationship with Him (na sana noon ko pa hinangad) dapat di ba in-uupdate ko yung sarili ko, as in make contact every beautiful day He gives? Ayun...and I don't like the idea na mas pinipili ko pang habaan ang oras ko with some others when I lack so much time for the Lord who deserves all the glory, duh.

Ayan tuloy, I'm getting more stressed more often...and I feel that I am losing my focus on the race of life...

So I'm trying my best to veer myself away from my overindulgence. Abstinence kung baga. Just to reshift my focus back to the Big Boss, si Itay.

The big question is, how long can I hold up to this? Aaaaaa Lord!!!!

Bumming it out big time

OK fine, so doing the laundry and fixing up my pamphlets for the next duty isn't something that one would call 'fun activity.' But since it does not involve opening my books, I consider it bummin' out. Probably one of my favorite hobbies these days,hmm...*shrug*


Anyway I'm being bitten by the mosquitoes...grr these little pests...


I'm just done with my pamphlets for the health center teachings to be done throughout the shift in Posadas. I just talked with Therese, had a small chitty chat with Bern yesterday...I miss my one and only Bech...hahahaha. Something tells me I should spend some good time with them after the upcoming exams this last week of August (yeah, long wait that is...). Maybe I should ask Rep to plan a bit of a go-out for all of us...


Speaking of which, natatawa na lang ako sa batang iyan...he can fume me ever so dearly but never once had he given me A LOT to think of...until one afternoon, when he texted me some sad episode he's got to deal with. Of course I'm not entitled to spill that but all I can say is that, besides of course that he's just darned feminine (64% to be exact, nyehehehe fine, I'm half-kidding), it astounds me still to realize how people give me much to wonder about, regardless of whoever they are to me.

I don't want to cry, but...

Just today I got to get home at around 8 pm. Yey...*TOJ* (tears of joy)

Yes, you might laugh at this like I do now, but it gives me a warm fuzzy feel somehow to see this through my stressors now. I am loaded with workworkwork, but nevertheless I still got time to appreciate the gifts, the blessings I enjoy around this hostile and cruel world of ours, yeah! Amen to that...

I have a lot of stories to tell after being off this bloghabit for so long...last was my feud trip with therese, hahahaha. And now I just have to pull myself away from this sanctuario of mine before I put pics in and tell you guys of my batcave visits in Bulacan...literally!!!

At yun nga palang mga tagpo namin ng aking pinakamalupit- ah, I mean- pinakamalapit na friendshippers na kagagaling lang ng Bangkok last tuesday...grabe, I just have to say thank you again for that wonderful elephant stuff you smuggled- ah, I mean, brought in, hehehehe. Seriously I appreciated the gift (not the thought? whahahaha). Thank you. And the first time trip was cool, and the dinner...

Ay, why am I even telling now...come on Peachie, don't get started when you're supposed to be doing your Pharma, Socio, Pedia, Med-surg...

BTW! I plan to try the tet for wanna-be MDs. Yeah!!! Hmmm...
