there comes a time in one's life that you'll realize that you're not getting any younger. i mean, there are times that i feel as if i can take as much time as i want, to do what i want to do and not caring about anything. But something happens and it dawns on you that so much time has passed and you hadnt noticed a thing while going at your own pace.

When i started out as a college student a couple of years back, the day of graduation seemed so far away and out of reach. I wasnt even sure i'd finish with the major i had started with. To my surprise, i finished my college years last Tuesday, the 7th day of April, 2009. The graduation ceremony was held in the auditorium of one the school's campuses at 7:30 AM. Along with the first half of the 675 students that were graduating that day, i transferred the tassel of my toga from left to right and received my diploma onstage from the dean.

Two days before that, on the 5th of April, 2009, i had my clinical graduation. My grandma's student, who's a chief nurse at one of the hospitals in Cebu, was the one who pinned me, signifying that i had completed the required number of hours of clinical exposure.

I could really say that those two events marked that i'm starting to become an adult and it's time for me to join the workforce!
I'm glad that i graduated, but i feel as if reality is chasing me and i cant catch my breath enough to continue on.
but i'll not think about it and i'll just the best that i can to survive the real world.
so when the real world calls, i'll be ready.
 

I went to class this morning and  attended my 7:30AM class. After that, i went straight home and started working on installing the East Asian Language pack for TOP. I had been at it for 3 straight hours coz some the applications i burned didnt work so i had to find other ways to install it. I had to switch from the stuff i saved in the hard disk to the language pack cd just to finish everything. I even had to search the internet for the solutions to my current language-pack-installing problems, but most of them were posted three to four years ago and all of their download links were dead. But, I never gave up!! A hundred webpages and several attempts later, I was finally able to install the East Asian Language Pack for TOP!!!! YEAAAHH!! I'm GOOD!! I'm GOOD!!! Now, TOP can read Korean, Japanese, Chinese texts. No more horrid boxes that confuse me!!! I couldnt have done this without

anyway, i just learned something shocking from Shige's wikipage. In the trivia part, i read that he is RUMORED to be DATING Takahashi Ai from Morning Musume. wow! the girl's older than him. wow shige. hahahhaha maybe he prefers older and mature women??? hahaah  LOL gaaaaaaaa shige, way to kill the hopes and dreams of your crazy fangirls (which includes me, btw). hahaha BUT, i still get a chance with UPshige, right? I DONT KNOW!!! he's terrified of me!! gaaaaaaa!! T____T I HAVE NO MORE HOPE!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

i think i'm overreacting, but who cares. hahahaha

GAWD!!! i just realized that i'm too old for my favorite member of SHINee. he's 16 and i'm turning 20 this year. if we have this intimate relationship with each other, then we would be shunned by society!!! it says here in the half-your-age-plus-seven rule. GAAAAAAAAAAA!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! but i wanna be with Minho!! 

"what about shige?" you say. hahaha i'll still be loyal to him. he knows that "he's my one and only". hahahah 

"you said that about chang min before!!" 

"oh really? i cant recall..."

i've been driving for almost two years, but i just realized just now that i didnt know how to freakin' change a tire. i noticed this because me,

oh yeah! oh yeah! *does crazy dance* my immersion is finally over!! wahaha i came back from Sogod last Monday and i'm soooooo relieved that my immersion is finally over. but i would miss those hospitable and kind people living there. after everything, i realized that immersion wasnt so bad if you were with people that you liked. i made new friends and i noticed that the bonds between our classmates that werent so strong before have become stronger now. the last week of immersion wasnt so bad. it wasnt as hot as the first two weeks and most of the time we were indoors. on the last night of our immersion, one of our classmates had her birthday celebration and bought us heaps of food. she had a super duper huge roasted pig, rice noodles, pork steak, menudo, and dinuguan. our clinical instructors bought us cases of softdrinks and a  big bowl of buko pandan. after that, we had a mini disco inside the house coz one of our classmates brought a mini discoball then we played house music, r&b, and OPM songs. we had sooooo much fun. 

my schedule after immersion is duty time in the home for the dying and the destitute. i'll have 8 days of duty and after that, i'm done with summer classes! wahooo!! i've got 7 more days left and i'm free!! hopefully i'll get through this activity too. 

besides being happy that immersion is over, i'm in high spirits coz my dad and mom gave me really awsome presents as a reward for being able to survive for 3 weeks. i'm really grateful for having them as my parents. XD i missed them lots when i was away and i'm glad that i'm back with them. weeeeeeeeeeee!!

7 more days til my SUMMER TIME!!! hahahahahahha

i came back April 26, 2008 from my first week of immersion. when i got home, i couldnt understand how i was feeling. i felt relief and dread at the same time; relieved that i was already home, and dread because i'm going back to the immersion place after 2 days. i lazed around for a bit and went to the mall to meet my friends. i missed them soooo much!! together with

yesterday evening, we spent our time at doublesharp's house with

captcudd1es, [info]anirok ,[info]derschatzi,[info]cesika,  and [info]xcrearex. we ate cake, played with zip, dance low and tell me. we stayed there til 11:30 PM.  we were then brought to [info]captcudd1es  house for a sleep over. we watched coat west and the first part of dreamboys with  kat-tun and kanjani8. after, we went to bed. the next day, we went to ayala to spend time with my friends before i leave for immersion. i wont see you guys for 10 days. take care of yourselves!! i'm going to sleep now. hahahahha  

today, i have some good news and some bad news. 

the good news is...our immersion has been postponed for a day!!! bwahahahahahahah i can still go to Ayala on Saturday if ever anyone wants to go "laag" on that day. i can spend the whole day of saturday for j-cracking before i leave.

the bad news is...MY HEADPHONES ARE ALREADY OUT OF ORDER!!! it's been like 2-3 months since i bought it. what the heck is wrong with me?!?!!?!? why do my headphones die sooooo easily?!?!?! i'm the queen of wrecking headphones. in my lifetime, i think i've been able to wreck 15 headphones already. considering that i've been existing for almost 2 decades now, that isnt a lot of heaphones, right?? hahahahhaahah i already told my dad that my headphones are already destroyed and i'm hoping he'll buy me new ones. but, when i really think about it, i didnt have those headphones for a long span of time, it's really a waste!! my dad tells me that headphones are disposable, that's why they produce heaps of those. grrrrrrrrrrr!! stupid business men and their money making schemes.

anyway. if anybody cares to know my schedule for this summer, i'll post it here:

april 20 - start of immersion. trip to the community
         26 - first time we are able to go home to get new set of clothes
         29 - going back to the community         
may 5   -  second time we go home
         7   -  trip back to the community
        12 -  END OF IMMERSION!!!
        13-21 first batch for duty in the home for the dying and  the destitute     
         22-30 second batch
         31- june 7 third batch

after immersion, i still have to go on duty in the home for the dying and the destitute. i heard that our class is going to be the second batch for this rotation though i'm not quite sure. for those dates that we arent asigned for duty in HDD, we are asigned to be "ON CALL". this literally means that they're just going to contact us when we really need to go on duty. if we dont get called, that's a lot of free time for me. i just hope we dont get called. >___<     

                                                                                                                      

i was deciding whether or not i should write an entry. but since i'm already here, might as well post an entry, right? 

i'm wondering if my friends have bebo accounts. it's like something like friendster.  when i really think about it, i realized that it's really pointless that i keep  alot of accounts like that since i dont have time to check all of them. right now, i have about 3 including my lj account. as you've noticed, i dont really update much. when i visited my bebo earlier, i noticed that i havent posted a new blog for more than a year. hahahahahha is that me being lazy or did i forget that i had an account for bebo?? hahahaha

i'm kind of sad coz i only saw 1 or 2 nishikato fics today. i was really looking forward to reading one coz i wont be able to read those fics for a while. someone please hear my plea and write me a nishikato fic before saturday!! wahahahhahaha

oiiii... who has Utada Hikaru's Music Box Collection??? The album is soooooo hard to find!! if ever anybody has it, please share. i dont really want the whole album, i just want about 4 songs; Final Distance, First Love, Automatic, and Eternally. 

 i know that this is a short and pointless entry but i dont really care. incoherence sets in when i'm tired and exhausted. so i'm going to end it here and sleep.

i havent been updating recently. I'M TOOOOO LAZY!!! i've been reading loads of nishikato fics. hahahahhaha just finished reading <lj user="miss_blacque"> ' s fic. it was awsome!!! totally intense.......gaaaaaaaaaa!! <lj user="portabubble"> almost died reading it. hahhahahaha NOOOOOOOOOO MING!! YOU CANT DIE YET!!! WHO'LL FAN GIRL WITH ME!?!?!?!? i just realized that most of the fics i'm reading now have totally touched me. in a sense, that it goes straight to my heart. what the?!!? is my life that angsty??? hahahah

anyway...after the bantayan trip...i had to travel back to civilization and have summer classes.
