2010 Board Exam is FAST APPROACHING.

That really sounds pretty scary, especially for those who are about to take it.

My sister, included.

Well, all we could do is to pray for their success. 100% passing grade and a landslide on the top. Char. hahaha.

Let's pray for those who will be taking the exam this July 3 and 4, 2010. May they have presence of mind, strength and enlightenment as they go through this stage. May they remember the things they studied and reviewed for the past months. May they have an undying focus as they answer the mind-boggling exam, and may they emerge unscathed and successful. May they have an unwavering faith in God, in their family and friends and in themselves.

God bless you, June 2010 Board exam takers.
:)

Especially to CNU...
go go go!

Yes, classes are over.
But our summer classes are yet to begin.
Yeah. I don't like the thought of spending all of my summer in school while some of my friends do all in their power to enjoy the long break by going elsewhere. Yes, this is one of the perks of being a Nursing student in Normal. Being unable to move about even on our FIRST YEAR. Sigh.
But it's ok. Not really. Well I'm thinking positive. Am I? Right.
It's not ok, but ok in a way that at least by the end of it we would have our Capping and Badging this summer. Hopefully.
These passed few weeks we've faced a lot of ordeals, especially on our final Friday of the school year. If I'd tell you the suspense, the terror, the shock, the nervous hearts on the verge of being pulled down by the gravity because of this stupid Anatomy-Physiology grade, YOU WOULDN"T WANT TO BE A PART OF IT. I swear.
It pounds your head like mad.
Just like ours.
It palpates your heart like some ballistic drumroll.
And you'll pray you won't experience that ever again.
Ever.
Just like ours.
It makes you burst your bubble and curse all the curses of the world and
cry your tears out
either because of extreme happiness of making it through
or not.

It's a stage whirling in various emotions.
And you'd hate it.
Really.



^_^ 1C! We can do it! 1C through thick and thin!

Yesterday, I had a little heart attack of my life.

I was alone in the house yesterday. After playing Facebook, I wanted to pee. So without second thoughts I went to our loo, and since the door was already open wide, I entered and switched the light on. And when I was heading to the faucet to turn it on, just when I turned my head, there in front of my eyes, nearly, very nearly inches before my face, right below the switch, was this.

Oh not that!
that's too... congenial.
This one!



No, that's too...
cool!
really, let's get serious!


That's the one.
A gecko.
A very large gecko.

probably a ruler and a half.

I was too surprised that I covered my eyes, stuck myself to the wall of the loo (yeah i didn't leave!) and freaked out. Before my ego decided to desert me, I opened my eyes, took a very quick glimpse at the little amphibian, which was now inches above the switch, and ran for my dear life!
Why bother turning the lights off? What am I, crazy?

Whew.

Now really, every time I look back, I laugh at myself as my hairs prickled with goosebumps and my heart does that loud thudding sound. Shucks, I really was nuts, wasn't I? I left the loo's lights on for an hour because I was too scared to get too close. Remember those myths. Not that I believed them, but it's better to keep my distance, right?
When I looked back, there it was, still clinging on the wall, now outside the loo. Whoa, imagine my jitters.
crazy, little freak. haha!

But actually, these geckos are a friendly bunch. We actually have two in the house, and they travel a lot. Yeah. travel around the house. They make those loud, echoing sound gurgling from their throats, and before you can think of anything else, you'll just think,
"tuko! tuko! tuko! Naa napud..."
They say if a tuko or a gecko lives in your house, it means good luck. They actually thrive in peaceful places, and quiet homes. Now you get the idea? For the past five months our house has been seldomly inhabited because most of us live in the other house in Mandaue (for convenience) and just return every weekend. So, these geckos had a chance to roam around and enjoy the tranquility. heh heh. But you know, even before we stayed in Mandaue, these geckos were still here. They've been actually here for almost four years. I wonder why?

I try to forget their unblinking eyes, rough skin and humongous lengths and sizes. Come to think of it, they're actually 'innocent' and very helpful in keeping a mosquito- and fly-free home. But gee... they're still creepy.

And you can't blame me for that.
