the story of my day

The morning was filled with expectations and excitement for the task to come. We were so ready to take on the challenge of a community assembly which our class organized. Everything from the food, tablecloth, dissemination, freebies, presentations and visual aids was prepared with great care.

Our efforts were not wasted because WE ROCKED!

Our guest instructors told us that the event was a success!

Well of course not everything came perfectly.

There was the teeny-tiny problem of the time for starting.

It was quite annoying since we told the residents that we’d start at 9.30am but they changed the time to 9.00am! So we have to go back and inform them AGAIN! It’s quite tiring, really, really tiring to go climbing up mountains, I didn’t want to go and return sweaty so Evan and me went to the place with the monkey. Surprise, surprise…we found the native twins (Sheilla and Honey) chiilin’ at the top of the hill, in the shaded area of course! And some of our classmates were also hanging out in the store, eating and drinking junk. We joined them, of course, we can’t resist Super Crunch and Ding Dongs.

My only regret was that we couldn’t stay at the videoke place (2 songs for p5.00!!!!) since we’d be heard over at the basketball court.

---program begins here---

There were only three notable things about the program,

First

The “Single Ladies” dance presentation of Mars, Jim and Doms

Second

The “Balot” commercial, it’s classic (since first year!)

Third

Chelle and Charly’s Reflection dance interpretation…very amusing! 

 

Three annoying things that happened

first

lack of seats

second

untimely handing out of snacks, grrr, most of them are

goblins indeed!

third

i only got one sandwich! hmpf!

oh, there’s a fourth one!

My nametag that says, “Hi, I’m Carma…group leader” embarrassing! (*because it means I have to work and pretend to be responsible, heheh*)

It ended quite well, one of my clients received a prize! Yehy! Good for her!

Went home tired and happy and ignorant of what will come in the afternoon…doom-doom-doom…

Hahah, so I came in quite early and Karen and me went out to do our daily ritual of buying food. We met Sheilla the native, Jordell the sleepy, Princess of jellyfish and Aia, who we tried to fool…and we ended up as fools indeed when we came back to the room, bearing halo-halo and iced teas. The door was closed, I opened it and grinned happily at everyone (they were so few..) Suddenly, V told us to “do not enter the room”. She was quite insistent about it, sending some boys to close the unclosable doors but we were okay with it…heheh, we knew there were others coming. They did come and we outnumbered the people inside the room! SO we loitered in the lobby and played pranks on the peopel inside who were trying not to laugh at our antics. We had a photo shoot right there until V lost her temper and told us to stay away from the lobby.

We are obedient children so we loitered in the stairs and continued our photo shoot! (and dissed HER)

We we were so not concerned about missing that! It was more eventful outside, the people inside were just eating egg sandwiches (leftovers from our CA).

In conclusion, It was a GREAT day!

period

So, i finally got over the blues. It’s the stage I have to go through every time i have my period. I wonder why it’s called a period anyway, it implies something different. The term is not enough to describe the discomfort of the whole thing. It is one of the banes of womanhood; aside from pregnancy and boobs (It’s not fair! Boys should get bigger boobs too! *kidding*)

The experience is alike to a phoenix…hah!

Not really, it’s just a pretty horrible time for me. People seeing the sulky, moody, wet blanket side of me. I am myself, still. But not the cheerful, ready for battle, tactless (geesh…) and fun loving Carma. Just the horrible girl who just wants to stay in a corner and brood.

Ah, well.

HAPPY HEARTS Day

Part of the Nursing Days and we had quite a lot of work to do so here we are…being good students…*sigh*

We were part of the Amazing Race committee ( Team B won!)

And also of the backdrops for Pinoy games and Miss nursing, geez…

Actually, I forgot what happened on valentines…I just remembered these pictures were taken the day before valentines day!

The best way to eat fries…

…share it with old pals!

We had such a great time at Jollibee! I know, the place is such a cliché, but who cares?! We had a blast anyway, just chatting and updating ourselves on our lives.

Even if Nikka’s room is just around the corner, we still don’t get to meet and talk like that everyday!

Wish we’d all meet together…the Rebelles!

I miss Alice too!

xoxo

 

rebels na naman... rebelles!!!

Be…


I look along the endless line, squinting in the sunshine. I’m eighteen years old. I can go anywhere. Do anything. Be anyone I like.



breakdown

Friday, at about quarter to three,  I yelled at my friend.

It’s a big deal since I don’t yell.

Except if it’s my sisters, but just a controlled yell.

Yesterday, it was like something snapped and I just had to go say it.

But I felt better afterwards, so it must have been a good thing.

For me, anyway…

BUsay adventure…

 So maybe I wasn’t going to do my health teaching today, but that doesn’t mean I don’t get to enjoy the place as much as I can! So we went hiking, again, towards the tubod…but this time around, we continued going to the road less taken. It was indeed an adventure and no words of mine could describe the experience fully.

 

 

(all my vocab  has been exhausted from doing LFDs which are so dull)
