If I could turn back the time
I'd spend it with you

I want you to know
Even though you're gone
that I'm drowning in tears

I wish you were here
And hear me say
Believe me, I'm sorry

"Sorry"  (Cueshe)

This is tough.

Reviews for post tests become useless.  And this is not the first time this has happened.

In our subject Maternal and Child Health Nursing (or OB), the tests we've already taken are all pre-tests.  And in these pre-tests, I do not remember a single test wherein I performed very well (Applause for the 2/30 result!)

Bagong Teacher:  "Grabe, ang hirap naman mag-discuss sa loob ng 3 oras ng isang topic na maikli lang..."

Beteranong Teacher:  "Alam mo iha, may paraan ang mga guro para sa mga ganyang suliranin...  Ito ay ginamit na ng ating mga teacher, ng mga teacher ng ating mga teacher, etc..."

Bagong Teacher:  "Ano po yun?  Exam agad?"

Beteranong Teacher:  "Isang paraan na nagiging evil pag inabuso...  REPORTING!!!  Wala ka nang proproblemahin pa, dahil ang mga estudyante na ang gagawa nang lahat!!!  WAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

(concept taken from Kiko Machine comic strip in Philippine Daily Inquirer)

Underestimated.  Did I really underestimate my performance for the prelim term?

I was able to pass my prelim exam in Pharmacology, when I thought I surely failed it, and I eventually passed the subject.

Praise God for His wonderful blessings.

Earlier, we had a long test for our Religious Education subject.  I was able to get hold of a copy of the handout, but I was not able to read and study (my fault.)  I also had a chance to study during the break times, but still, I didn't (my fault again.)

And we took the exam.  The topic was about "sin."

I could hear from my back some murmurs (probably answers to the questions).  I chose not to listen (I even covered my ears).  I did and do not want to cheat.  I do not care if I do not get an impressive score.  It's really better to get an honest zero than to get a... uh, dishonest perfect score (yeah, something like that.)

I got 26/35.  Not bad.  I am happy because I got what I deserved.

"A Rose for Emily"

Hindi ko man ginusto, ako ay naging character sa play namin para dito.

Palakpakan para sa BSN 3-5!

Chocolate-flavored toothpaste eh?  Weird...  But I love it!

Before anything else, I would like to congratulate myself (?) dahil...

1.  Hindi ko pala talaga professor si Ma'am Doctor (Congratulations!)
2.  Ako ang unang naging scrub nurse sa group namin.  Salamat sa mga "nag-volunteer" sa akin.  Yehey!

Sun Cellular.  It was a friend since December last year.  We had a lot of memories.  We had our share of ups, and of course, downs.

It was there when I needed to call 15 minutes straight without worrying about "load shortage."

But it did also let me down.  It failed me.  I had to press the Send button around 25 times just to send a single f*ckin' message.  And I had to call a million times (engk) just to be able to call someone else.

F*ck you.  Hehehe...

****

Smart.  It was able to seduce me with its unlimited call and unlimited text offers.  But what has it done to me?   It made me a slave of my phone.  Yes, texting is a lot easier with it around.  But, it is a hindrance to progress (?).

F*ck you too.  Hahaha...

Ako ay nanood ng gig ng Mojofly kahapon sa Robinsons Imus.  Salamat kay Ryan Medina dahil pinahiram niya akong muli ng kanyang digicam.  Marami akong nakuhang pictures, at nakapag-video pa ako.

Pinapirmahan ko kay Lougee ang 8R solo photo niya na aking kinuha noong gig nila sa Robinsons Dasma noong nakaraang buwan.  Nagulat siya sa laki ng picture, at kanyang pinakita iyon sa kanilang manager.  At humihingi siya ng kopya.  Hehe...

Ako ay pabaya.  Isang tunay na disaster ang performance ko noong prelims ngayong semester.

Sa aming exam sa World Literature, ako ay nakakuha lamang ng 17/35.  Isang malaking kapabayaan.  Kung sineryoso ko lamang iyon ay mataas sana ang aking nakuhang score.  At kung seseryosohin ko lang sana ang lahat ng subjects ko, hindi ko mararamdaman ang nararamdaman ko ngayon.

Para akong wala sa sarili.  Pinanghihinaan ako ng loob.

Maraming magsasabi na hindi pa huli ang lahat.  Alam ko na yan... dahil sa formula na may Vitacreme na nagbibigay ng 48-hour softness!

Unang araw namin sa pagkuha ng subject na Obstetrics/Obstetric Nursing.  May dalawang magagandang "surprise" kanina sa unang araw na ito:

1.  Ang 30-item pre-test.  Actually hindi na talaga to "surprise", dahil anticipated nang meron ngang pre-test.  Pero hindi ako nakapag-aral.  Ang resulta:  2/30.

2.  May bago kaming professor sa subject na ito...  May pumalit kay Ma'am Fauni...  Sino siya?  <drum roll> . . . Si MA'AM DOCTOR!

****

This "hatred flush" is stupid, destructive, and totally unnecessary.

That's why this "rivalry" between you and me, it's over (for good).

"Because at Vengeance...  I'm gonna kick...  the devil's...  ass!!!"

The prelim term has just ended.  And to sum it up, it was a total disaster.  A total wreck (?).  Let me give you a clear (yet blurred?) picture of what I've been through during the first part of three parts of this semester.

Pain and Surgery.  It was our subject for the entire prelim period.  It was a roller coaster ride: it had a lot of ups and downs.  Ups include easy quizzes courtesy of Ma'am Sharon Vicedo, Sir Leon "Wawie"/"Wowie" Fojas, the handscrubbing return demonstration, the lively discussions facilitated by our professors.  The downs, on the other hand, include a lot of "tragic memories" (?), like the gowning return demonstration, surprise pre-tests by Ma'am Resty Tan, the unit exams, and of course the "Ayoko nang mag-nursing"-inducing term exam.  And yeah, the first day fu*k...  The day when I arrived 15 minutes late for our first RLE day.  I became the first-ever make-up duty "awardee" in our batch.  Hehehe...

Pharmacology.  No matter how good the professor is, wala pa rin talaga akong matutunan.  Maybe because I do not have the interest for the subject.

Literature.  Parang wala lang.

REED.  Isa pang wala lang.  Our prelim period of REED could also be called "The Braveheart Class."

RLE/duty days.  Our first rotation was a fun experience.  And the next rotation turned out to be a torture.  There's a rain after the rainbow...? (WTF???!!!!)



PRELIM EXAMS

Pain and Surgery.  A real pain, according to Rhys the @$$.  Kung nakapag-handa at nakapag-aral lang ako at least one week bago ang exams, hindi sana ako nanghuhula ng isasagot.

Strategies of Health Education.  The term exam was an easy one, but the quiz attached to the term exam contained items which I was unfamiliar with.

Pharmacology.  We had an overdose.  Literally.  We were caught by surprise.  When I was still looking down at my test questionnaire pretending that I was choosing the right answer (when in reality I was just thinking of happy moments, to distract myself from the torture I was going through at that time), Ma'am Vicedo asked us if it was ok for us to take the unit exam along with the term exam.  It seemed like we had no other choice, so we took the unit exam.

Correction: Unit EXAMS.  It had around 5 pages of pure torture, ranging from basic terms and history of Pharmacology to the enumeration of different types of a specific drug and formulation of nursing diagnoses.

LITERATURE.  I read "An Ounce of Cure" and "A Rose for Emily" in lieu of reviewing for Pharmacology.  And since Fate was a bit tough that time, the two "short" stories were not included in the exam.  The essay type of test plagued the exam.

REED.  A breather.  Thank you Sir Vladimher for making a not-so-difficult exam.  Hehehe...

It's official...  Ang aking kalbaryo sa JP 3F ngayong semester na to ay tapos na.

And it ended with a 100+ points na exam.  Lagyan mo ng identification ng color coding ng JP hospital, ng meaning ng mga iba't ibang abbreviations, conversion, drug computations at marami pang drug computations, at yun na ang "Finisher" ng rotation ng duty sa JP hospital.  Finisher.  Tigok.  Chugi.  Amp.  Chugi amp*ta...

Ang aking ama ay in-operahan sa mata kanina, at sobrang tagal naming naghintay doon kasama ang aking ina.  Ako ang naatasang maging driver pauwi dahil hindi pwedeng mag-drive ang aking ama pauwi galing sa operasyon dahil apektado ang kanyang bisyon (vision).  Successful naman (ata) ang kanyang operasyon.

Sa ngayon ako ay pa-banjing banjing na lang...  Pwede akong mag-aral, mag-exercise, manood ng TV, achuchuchu...  Pero mas maganda kung makakapag-aral na ako para hindi ako bumagsak sa term exams namin next week.

Para sa aming CI sa JP 3F, maraming salamat...  At hindi lang ako ang nakita niyo ngayong week na to.  Hehehe...  Seriously, maraming salamat sa inyong paggabay sa amin, sa inyong malupit na nature na inyong istratehiya upang kami ay ma-disiplina at matuto.  *appear!*  (huh?)

Tang ina tong internet na to kanina pa nadi-disconnect AMPUTA...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Putang ina ka!!!!!!  GAGO!!!!!  Walang kwenta!!!!!!!!!!!
