The True Source of Love

The very over rated Valentine’s Day is finally over. Whew! I survived! My day went fine, I cooked breakfast for my self, Daing and Tuyo, nothing beats Filipino breakfast! the best!! :p I ate alone which is totally fine. :p it was fulfilling. :p I made breakfast for my mom too! She was drunk from her Valentine’s day shindug with tita duday so I opted to bring her breakfast in bed! :p (best daughter award goes to me!)

Moving on, I was late for my MS lecture due to some unperceived events. I was irritated with the thought of it. I spent my morning crying because I was late.  C’mon you’re crazy if you think that I really cried because I was late for class. Who does that? I just cried my heart out, cried till I looked stupid and undeniably pathetic. i just cired my long over due tears, what a release! The late part was just a precursor and I’m sorry again for using you (the person who caused my tardiness) as my outlet. Sa buhay ko un lang ata talaga pakinabang mo. Hehehe! I love you for that. I just didn’t like the yelling part. oh well, napikon ka lang din siguro. Bati na tayo kasi nilibre mo naman ako ng  Valentine’s day lunch! :p

My Definition of Blogging

First of all, Thank you to all those who are giving comments to my blog entries. Its very heartwarming that you guys are taking time to read my entries even though I’m just new in the scene. Honestly, I didn’t expect that people like you would be interested in my thoughts and day to day activities. Your suggestions on how to improve my site (since, I suck with the new trends in blogging) is very much appreciated. Although I still don’t know how to apply most of them. (peace!)

Kayo ang dahilan kung bakit ako nakikipagagawan ng FX pauwi para lang makapagcheck ng site agad agad. Hehehe!

I honestly intended to make a new site sweetestfrustration.blogspot.com because I want to have an outlet from my “world”. I want to share my thoughts to people who don’t know me personally to avoid bias and prejudice.

Another confession, not all my friends know that I blog. Well, I’ve mentioned it but they didn’t seem to be interested. They have this connotation that blogging are for geeks, don’t hate my friends, for a time I thought blogging was for losers..

Well, I say blogging are for people who have a mind that just won’t stop working and an imagination of the abstract. It’s for people who have multitude of thoughts and ideals that can little by little make this world a better place. Bloggers are the people who document their ideas and thoughts possibly for future reference or just for an emotional outlet. They rant when they notice that something is not right, they whine when they feel sad, they do research when they feel a bit intellectual, they scrutinize a lot of absurd issues, they react to social events, they just write whatever it is that comes out from their heads and last but not the least, whatever it is that they’re writing, they never fail to put a little heart into it.

That’s the best part of blogging – every letter you type, every word you decide to use, every sentence you construct, it’s not coming out from nowhere – but from the heart.

My Christmas Lover

It all started last night when my charms didn’t work for my Christmas Lovah. I was making “pa-cute” at him over the phone last night, (cheesy but I can be a little baduy when I miss someone so bad) I thought I made it clear how much I miss him and that I’m starting to hate him for making me miss him this much. (This is all his fault! I so hate him!)

Our conversation pretty much went well; he said he was still at work and that his day wasn’t toxic, blah blah blah, Until he gave a me a what the h*ll answer to a supposedly “lambing” hirit.

“I miss you”

“kakakita lang natin recently ah, nung saturday?”

What the h*ll, right? Hello?! Tuesday na ngayon! You didn’t bother to text me or to wish me luck for my finals nung Sunday or nung Monday. A text would be fine, really. I’m not asking him to make me his top priority; I just wish I pass by his thoughts at least once a day or the most, once a day.

Here’s another winner, After our 3 minute conversation over the phone, I texted him if he would still pass by my place, he didn’t reply. FYI, village namin magkatabi lang.

This is the problem with girls, everything’s already in front of them but they don’t seem to get it. Our thing would not work because he won’t let it. C’mon! If he wanted to, he would make an effort, knowing him, he is that type. He can make you feel SPECIAL if he wanted to. I heard his stories.

Maybe I’m just pushing too much. I want this to work out though but if it’s just a one way street, walana patutunguhan. He’s just not into me. Period. Or maybe he is, but for other reasons.

It’s just ironic how a guy, who is your-friend-but-doesn’t-care-much-for-you, can easily take all your problems and worries in just a snap. As I’ve mentioned in one of my previous entries, because of him, I’ve started to live life again, I never knew life could be this better. Yes, I am and I feel very different when I’m with him. Our Christmas love affair would be remembered and, probably, laughed at. (because of its history and how it all started, haha! I just hope he doesn’t get a chance to access my new site, oh well, who the h*ll would read this?)

I don’t hate him. He’s just being a guy.

Honestly, I’m thankful cause he just proved my theory on men.

I just didn’t expect that he’s the one who’s gonna prove my own theory.

Life goes on, I’ve been through worse.

He made me happy, what more could I ask for?

I Have A Terrible Site

I don’t know how everything works here at blogspot. I don’t know how to make my own template, edit my page; I don’t even know what RSS is! Rubbish!

I’m starting to get frustrated. Well, I am already frustrated.

This is why I hate technology! Everything changes in just a blink of the eye! I used to blog at multiply.com, everything’s simpler there, I gather my thoughts, write them down and I just add colors and to the words or sentences that needs emphasis. Done! My blog is done, that simple.

Due the he advent of modern technology and to growing population of bloggers, a lot has been added to the art of blogging, and sadly, I couldn’t keep up any longer.

Bano talaga ng site ko. Now, I’m starting to feel the “pressure”, the pressure of writing about more sensible stuff because if I don’t, nobody will visit my site!

A bad site layout and non sensible blog entries is not a good combination. Hay nako, if you have both, darling, you’re just polluting the internet. And c’mon, if you’re gonna write, write something enriching, informative, humorous or something that a lot of people can learn from.

Oh well, I know I couldn’t do something about that because anyone can publish anything they want to say, worth reading or not.

Well, it was just a thought. How the internet world would be a better place if everyone would write something intellectual or something that came out from their brains. You know what I’m saying – An internet world with LESS porn. That would be a good one.

Forgive me, I’m just bitter cause I have a terrible site.
PUBLISH ANYTHING YOU WANT!

Nursing For Greener Pastures

They are everywhere! For crying out loud! Nursing students are everywhere! You go to a mall, you see a bunch of them walking, laughing and giggling at every corner! Puhleeze! Aren’t they suppose to be studying? You’re driving on your way home and you suddenly have to hit the brakes because a student wearing a white uniform didn’t see your car coming. Crap Nursing students! You guys are everywhere, polluting the world with white uniforms!

For everyone’s information, I am also a nursing student. I love my course, well not love “love” but I learned to love it over the past years. I never imagined myself taking up nursing and wearing an all white uniform, white blouse, white skirt, white shoes, with cap, WITH WHITE PANTY HOSE STOCKINGS! Who wears that kind of stuff?

I remember my niece Andy, (Tita Joan’s Eldest daughter), 4 years ago, I modeled my first newly sewed nursing uniform fresh from the seamstress in front of my family at dinner time. While I was too busy walking at the cat walk, doing my nursing pose (oh! don’t try to imagine it!) and receiving plastic comments from my parents (they have to do that so that I wouldn’t be discouraged from taking the course) my niece Andy suddenly blurted out, “Ate Camille, you look like a yaya.” With a scrutinizing look on her face, can you imagine how a 5 year old can humiliate you just by being honest? Kids now-a-days.

Thank you Andy, your comment is highly appreciated. Way to go girl!

So, why is everyone studying nursing? Possibly for the same reason as mine.

Dollars, dollars dollars. I’m sorry, but money does make the world go round. I took up Nursing because I realized NAPAKAHIRAP NG BUHAY SA PILIPINAS. So I took the easy way out, let me rephrase it, I took the i-thought-easy-way-out. Jeez, it’s not easy taking up Nursing!

First, I have to forget what course I would really want to take up. So in other words, I have to kill my dream. I have to put it to trash and possibly start a new one. It works though. I don’t know what I wanted 4 years ago. Now, when people ask me, I say with a proud face, I want to become a Doctor, a surgeon to be exact. I’m just taking up Nursing as a pre med. SOSYAL!

Second, I have to endure the frustrated look at other people’s face when they say “akala ko sa Ateneo ka nagaaral, sa FEU pala” OH MY GOD TALAGA! Enough enough. Very nostalgic.

Third, I.have to S-T-U-D-Y! damn, Pharmacology and Microbiology! Those are the two subjects that I struggled to pass! How am I supposed to memorize generic names of medicines and names of microbes if I don’t even know how to pronounce them! Oh and don’t you dare forget how hard it is to spell them!

Fourth, ANG GASTOS MAGNURSING. Ang mahal ng tuition fee, books, uniforms (mind you, my lecture uniform, duty uniform, scrub suit, and sa ibang schools pagdating ng fourth year magpapalit kayo ng uniform, may P.E uniform pa pala.), mga fee ng kung ano ano, capping, seminars, COPAR, plus a whole lot more. MIND YOU may fee pa ang board exams. At hindi lang isa ang test na kailangan mong i-take

Fifth, BOARD EXAMSSSSS, Local Boards, NCLEX, CGFNS, IELTS, sige lang, tell me if you can handle the pressure.

If you think nursing is your key to greener pastures, Think again! It may just make your life miserable! Nursing is not the easy way to become rich. It requires hardwork, dedication and a heart. If you don’t take it seriously, nagtatapon ka lang ng pera. You have to take it seriously for you to pass the board EXAMSSSS. If you don’t pass it, sayang lang ang pagaaral mo ng apat na taon dahil diploma lang ang hawak mo – Wala kang lisensya. Grabe, if only I can put into words the pressure that I am feeling right now. It’s unexplainable. It’s nerve wrecking. No wonder why not all graduates of my course didn’t end up as a successful registered nurse.

You have to want it so bad for you to become successful. You don’t have to waste time on nonsense things, like hanging out at the mall or spending the whole day at a computer shop playing Dota. You have to read, read and read. You have to stay up all night for a report. You have to study weeks before an exam just for you to get a passing mark. You have to spend hours inside the library for research. Oh! and the clinical rotations! Deadly. (There would be definitely a new blog for that; right now I’m talking about the theoretical hardships of Nursing.)

I hope after writing this, mababawasan na ang mga nakaputing nakatambay sa mga mall. Let’s help produce quality nurses. We may JUST be nurses in the eyes of other people but they don’t know how hard and vital our work is. We care, we nurture and we touch lives.

Student Nurses, let’s take our course seriously. We handle lives – enough said.

Sometimes I just Want To Run Away

I hate it that he makes me happy. He puts me into a state of euphoria wherein I get weak and I get lost. I get weak in his arms and I get lost in a world I never knew existed, a world where it’s only the two of us.

Every moment spent with him is just pure bliss. It’s incomparable. What we have is just simple, we don’t dine at a fancy restaurant or something close to that, we spend quality time together just by talking to each other. *sigh* It’s just priceless. Time flies when I’m with him. Napakahirap pag kailangan ko ng bumaba ng kotse after spending the night with him.

“Kung pwede lang kita iuwi inuwi na kita….” ihihirit nya.

Hoy, pwede wag kang magbiro ng ganyan kasi sasama talaga ako sayo! wahahahaha! Alam nyo ung ganong feeling? Ang hirap magpart ways.

Everyone knows how happy I am, but I can’t help it but to feel guilty. He makes me happy but I’m not sure if I make him happy the way he makes me happy. I feel guilty cause I’m gonna be the “bad guy” – I’m gonna leave the country very soon, I’m gonna leave him soon. I couldn’t help it but to ask God why he sent someone like him at this time of my life. What is he trying to point out? He allows me to experience this feeling yet, in no time, I know that it’s gonna end. What is He trying to teach me? That happiness is just temporary? That I have no right to be truly happy? What is He trying to say to me?

I just want to make him happy and I don’t know if I’m doing a job at it. I know he’s setting his limits because he doesn’t want to get hurt in the end. i dont want to hurt him, that’s the last thing that i want to do. I don’t want to be that person. He doesn’t deserve it.

Should I just run away and leave him alone? Or should I just grab this chance to be happy?

Sometimes I just want to run away…

Can I just see you every morning when I open my eyes
Can I just feel your heart beating beside me Every night
Can we just feel this way together Till the end of all time
Can I just spend my life with you

Who Would Have Thought?

It’s crazy how a single person can change your ideals in just a snap. When you thought things are already mapped out in your life, someone comes along and changes everything. When you thought that there’s nothing better than living a single life, here he comes, making you realize that life is better when you have a person to go home to, a hand to hold while riding a jeepney, a person to kiss after along day of work and a person to love all the days of your life.

Forgive me, when I’m in love, I say words that I never thought existed.

Have you ever been with someone who literally knocks you off your feet? A person who takes your breath away? A person who makes you head over heels crazy? A person who had you at hello? A person who completes you? And those other chic flick lines which I find stupid, cliché, shallow and plain pathetic. (Now I so hate Jerry Maguire)

Guys, those feelings are R-E-A-L! If only I could find the right words to explain what I am feeling right now. It feels like I’ve started to live life again. Suddenly, I felt an urge to live life for myself and not just for my family. I never knew life could be this better. When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with a person, you want the rest of your life to start NOW. The feeling is so overwhelming that you wake up every morning asking your self what you did to deserve someone special. Someone you never thought you’d ever have and someone who makes your life beautiful. *sigh* If having him would feel like this, I shouldn’t have let him in. The happiness he brings is just too much. It’s over flowing and I couldn’t contain it that sometimes, I just want to cry.

    I know everything’s not going to be easy, we really have to work for this everyday but for the first time, I want to take the risk without having qualms.

I believe and I know that whatever God has planned for us and for whatever the future may bring, everything’s going to be worth it.

He’s worth it. I’m keeping him. I love him and i can love him over and over again.

Love is what we all live for.
It may take time for others to find it but when you do find it,
you start to wonder, how you ever lived without it.

Four Years Ago I Didn’t Pass My UPCAT – look at me now

When I was in 4th year high school, I had a big dilemma. It was the worst nightmare of any graduating high school student. *sigh* I didn’t pass my UPCAT (University of the Philippines College Addmission Test) and ACET (Ateneo College Entrance Test). Those were just the two Universities that I applied for. Yabang noh? Grabe, pahiyang pahiya ako sa pamilya ko noon.

I was thinking, “Shet, ano ng mangyayari sakin nyan? Most of my batchmates passed UP and Ateneo…” Nakakahiya. It was very depressing and degrading.

By the way, to understand my frustration and disappointment more, for everyone’s information, I graduated from an exclusive Catholic school for girls – now you know how much shame I got into. In addition to that, all my relatives are graduates of UP, ATENEO and DLSU. You feel the pressure? You have no idea! Pa-support support pa ako sa UAAP nung highschool, hindi ko rin naman pala ma-fefeel maging full pledged Atenean, maging Archer or maging iskolar ng bayan.

It was a family and social disaster.

“Anak, ano na bang plano mo? International Studies na nga lang sa Ateneo hindi mo pa napasa. Anong nangyari?”

“DADDY!!! Ilakad mo ako, gamitan mo na ng connections.”

“Anak, kung hindi ka nakapasa ibig sabihin hindi ka para don. Malalakad kita sa malalakad pero kaya ba ng pride mo yon? “Atenista” ka nga, pero dahil sakin, hindi dahil sa utak mo. Mag-nursing ka nalang sa FEU-NRMF dun sa fairview, magaling Science courses ng FEU-NRMF, kala mo!”

I almost died. To be honest, up to now, I can still feel the horror of hearing those words from my own dad. I was so helpless during that time. I had no one to blame but myself – and that was the worst part.

Well, I guess I had no choice. I had to accept my fate.

I took a special entrance exam at FEU-NRMF, sa awa ng Dyos nakapasa naman ako. (nakakadepress din yang part na yan, kasi sa FEU wala namang atang bumabagsak sa entrance exam)

Right now, I’m studying Nursing a.k.a “Ang Kurso ng Bayan”. I’m wearing my all white uniform and I help save lives now. Wow, that was soothing to hear. One more. One more. “I help save lives now.” True enough. I serve and I touch lives of people from all walks of life.

Yes, I admit that if I have passed my ACET or UPCAT I may have had a very different life now. I would have had a better training, definitely, my English would be perfect; I may have been a very good debater, read more books, met lots of friends, partied more and even dressed more fashionably.

Looking deeply, it wasn’t a big loss for me. It would be a big loss for me, if I lose myself in the process of wanting it too much.

Sometimes, you just have to make the most out of what you have. Accept it and just live life the way God has planned it.

Y    ou will never see me cheer for the FEU basketball team at any UAAP game but you’ll see me living the life of a typical nursing student.

Simple

True

Real

&

Heart melting

The type of life that I never expected to have, yet, the life that I’ll chose to live over and over again.

Truly, as cliché as it is, God has reasons.
