ninja!!

just finished watching The 300 Movie (pirated dvd but well worth it, haha!) and it was gggooooodddd!!! all the gore was there, from the hideous looking Ephialtes, the Ephors (so eeeewwww…), the blood flying everywhere, the severed heads and limbs, the pierced face of Xerxes himself to the oh so graceful oracle (an on-a-high wench with no bra, haha)! and the spartan warriors were all walking around with just that red cape and the barest briefs complete with knee high boots and their headpieces! coooolll!!

better watch it if you haven’t yet. its even better than troy, although brad pitt (and his rock hard ass) and orlando bloom (who’s way better-looking when he was an elf in LOTR) on troy will surely make a run for your money, too. it rivals only the gladiator, i tell you.

there was one tinsy winsy part in the 300 that i didn’t like, though. everybody knows that i’m a BIG BIG fan of cuties and hotties, right? so there’s this guy in the movie named Astinos who goes with his dad (the general) to fight alongside him against the persians. he looked so good (good enough to eat!!) doing those slow-motion-fast-again moves to kill some persians..and when he looked up after the fight, he met his father’s eyes (which were filled with approval) and he smiled (that smile made half the movie for me, hehe.. the other half was king leonidas’ ass!!). but then he suddenly lost his head!!! (why, i won’t tell!!)..

and so back to the part i did not like.. his father should have shouted "Astinos, look out!!" or "Astinos, duckkk!!!" or maybe, "Astinos, behind you!!!" instead of his approving nod and his too-late "Astinos!! NOOOOOO!!!". guess he made a mistake there.. it was what he should have said when he listed his regrets, haha!!

just finished the last of the demands of my masteral class in ADENU– the final exams. i’m ready for my first kick off for the summer, weeiii!!! this pic is the only one i have from the getaway, though.

had the time of my life yesterday when we went to ‘Chacao and had fun fun fun on the beach! got there at about 5pm already, though. but yeah..bought the beer, had our first shots–me, deej, teng, banno, maiden and ryan– bought pusit and fish from the fishermen loittering the area, asked another guy to cook our rice for us, then hit the beach at about 8pm already..by this time i was wa–a–yy drunk, wahaha!! then deej got drunk and he had to sleep. had to wait for him coz he told me not to go off alone. so i had to manipulate him into waking up. but it was worth it! it was sooo nice floating on our backs, looking at the moon and the twinkling stars..the water was quite warm and there was hardly a breeze but its ok coz its nighttime..wouldn’t trade it for the world!!! went home at about 3am already…

what’s great about it was that it was totally unplanned for. maybe the buzz of naga was starting to get to us all so we just left everything and followed the temptation of the beach. and nobody thought to bring any cameras so we had to settle for my cel. but it was so great!! so, i say SUMMER STARTS TODAY!!

ENJOY THE BEACH, YOU GUYS!!

***on the darker side of things, though..i wouldn’t have written this on my blog but then, my mom got wind of my little escapade! i haven’t told mama that i was going out of town. but then, she caught me. stupid of me to ask her where my blue shorts were, haha! but then i get to write my experience here so its all for the better..

got into filling up my marlboro packs for the 2007 marlboro adventure team win the gear contest yesterday..i’m up to winning either the jeep commander or the ATV, haha!! or the oakley sunglasses with its own mp3..but i already have my trusty ipod, which, incidentally is only filled to about 14GB.. still have 46GB to go…so i’m rooting for the big ones!

i was looking at the hundreds of packs lying around me and damn..i collected about 231 packs since july.. so i spent P6,468.00 for yosi.. and i might have smoked half of my left lung for these… and my left thumb is swollen from a whole day of writing…

i still have the marlboro menthol packs to go through, my brother gave them to me. i haven’t counted the packs yet, but i know they’re more than the red ones i officially smoked… i think double the reds! i say officially for i’m only a second-hand smoker when it comes to the marlboro menthol…

but if all goes well and i win the contest, i’ll be driving around…correction, deejay (who says he’ll be my handy driver) will be driving me around in my new jeep commander–the big, shniy red one! hehe…he’s asking me what i’ll give him if i do win the gear–as if!!… told him i’ll be saving the plastic wrapper from the car doors and give it to him as a present, wahehe!!!

i sure hope i win!! keepin’ my fingers crossed already!!…

****and to the non smokers out there who’s thinking to themselves "eewww," F#CK OFF, RETARDS!!! go twiddle your thumbs or something!!

i was sitting in front of my PC one time with nothing to do, just doodling around the internet and looking for something that would help me pass the time. was supposed to be working, but i’m just too lazy nowadays..i wanted to try something that would not only occupy some of my idle time, it would also make me feel productive..(you see, i am in my self-pity mode these days..can’t seem to work properly, i abhor thinking about my life, and i don’t know what the hell i’m doing with it right now..in short, i still have no f#ckin purpose! what’s worse, instead of picking myself up, i seem to enjoy it, being the exaggerated drama queen that i’m turning into!!….sh!t sh!t sh!t!!!)

as with everybody, i guess, my homepage is set to yahoo..little did i know that yahoo would hold the key to my boredom! i saw this small, green icon which has the word ANSWERS..and thought it would provide the answers for me, too! just the salve that i need! so i clicked on it..WEEEEIII!!!

i was immediately attracted to the color, it was GREEN!! it was sort of reminiscent of the color of my blog before, the green one. but unlike my blog, which is close to the color of puke, the yahoo answers site was a refreshing lime green–a stimulating, exciting green!

so i started clicking away…lo and behold, i got in touch with A LOT of people, asking SO MANY questions about HEAPS AND HEAPS of things! just what i needed! being the little miss know-it-all, dear-machi-help-me type that i am, i jumped at the chance of answering the questions that come pouring out of nowhere! it was kinda funny, for i–who can’t seem to help myself even if i want to–have the gall to help others! and mind you, some of my answers were chosen as the best ones, too! geez..i’m totally hooked! everytime i log on, i make a beeline towards the yahoo answers site and go clicking away!

because of this though, i can’t work!! makes me want to bang my head on the monitor, haha! wouldn’t that be a sight?? tadhana has really bitten me in the ass this time around..

i recently received news that june 2006 nursing board passers will not be granted the visa screen certificate by the cgfns people due to the same sh!t regarding the alleged leakage during last year’s june boards.  I honestly don’t know how to react.  i mean, haven’t we proven ourselves time and again that we REALLY passed the exams WITHOUT THAT STUPID LEAKAGE??

cg people say that there are "…significant questions about the accurate assessment of the competencies of many of those individuals…" do they not know of the recomputations made which were later abandoned and the resolution granted by the Supreme Court?? do they not know that our competency has been proven already because of the second list of passers released later that year? they went on to suggest that we retake tests 3 and 5… as far as i know, tests 3 and 5 first underwent recomputations from the prc to exclude some questions alleged to be leaked to SOME students (who obviously are too stupid to pass the board exams without a leakage!!) and release the list of board passers that time.  this action created much furor among the top-notcher wannabes–YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, YOU SH!T!–that prc later on abandoned the recomputation scheme and included the same questions to come up with the whole 20% each from the 5 exam parts to prove that we do deserve the license.  this is why a second list was released, me and my classmates were still on it and that is why some of the examinees took the retake last december, some passed and others failed. 

i do not know if there really is a leakage or not.  what i do know is that NO ONE, and i do mean NO ONE from BICOL has a copy of that leakage! we all PASSED the board exams HONESTLY and WE DESERVE OUR LICENSES!! we studied for the exams until our noses bled (hehe..i need the humor, guys!) to those like me who will forever be the VICTIMS of this mess, i do not think we deserve this demeaning and utterly shameful actions against us! but to those who did pass the board exams with the leakage, shame on you! i curse you to perdition!

as of now, i do not know if cg people will listen to the petition of the BON, PNA and PRC scheduled this february 26 to retract this hideous decision. i wish they would for we HONEST passers do not deserve this injustice.and i sincerely wish our government would take the side of the passers and not the top-notcher wannabes, the sour-graping a-holes and those who failed the exams. we have been suffering because of a sin that was not of our making! we are at risk of losing the licenses that define and encompass our dedication to make lives better! i myself believe that i DO NOT HAVE TO RETAKE MY BOARD EXAMS! i passed it with a full faith that i DESERVED IT! i studied for it, i prepared well for it, i sacrified for it, i cried for it, i got drunk for it, i smoked my lungs dead for it! so do not even SUGGEST that i should take the boards AGAIN! this would literally trample on my character, my convictions and my principles! i do not deserve this injustice!

but if the cg really will not detract their decision, well, its their loss! all of the passers i know from the june 2006 boards are intelligent, hard working, determined and HONEST and if they will not grant us the visa certificate, its USA’S loss!! as a friend of mine said, "…kung habo ninda sato, habo ta man sainda!! pweh!…"

yep, got myself a new profile…again!

it was so sad that i lost the first one i had after friendster reformatted EVERYTHING!! the one with the beer bottle and a couple of cig butts, hehe..sorry lala, i can’t show your intensely cute workmanship off na! anyway, i spent the last five hours fixing this new profile and i added a new player, too, thanks to otie’s mp3 player sa profile niya! the instructions were relatively easy to follow din..not bad!! kaya thanks, otie.i owe you one…again!

the songs are a collection of what i”ll always consider a conglomeration of everything i love..and what my friends love, too! nina’s someday is dedicated to yhie, rach and ka palan! they were the ones who introduced me to the song. badtrip lang nga coz none of us are brokenhearted as of now kaya we can’t really emote on the song that much. pero, if ever ma-brokenhearted naman kami, we know which song to listen to! hehehe..

P.S. still got no f*ckin’ job..i’m close to hating myself!! grrr…

hehehe…

this took me long enough!!! being lisensyado can mean a lot of things, really:

1.  it may mean na i finally got my long awaited prc license, hehe!! claimed it just last friday with yhie and deejay..it was one heck of a road trip!  i saw a lot of destruction on the way to legaspi, kakaawa people duman…almost felt na magiging permanent na goosebumps ko! it was that nakakabrokot! sent prayers for the victims of reming din..grabe, scary!!

2.  being lisensyado may also mean na since i finally hold the prc license in my hand, (passed twice, mind you..once when they released the bogus list and twice when they released the true list of passers…took the exams once, passed twice!!wahaha! eat my dust!), pwede na ulit ako manglait –yeyeyey!! kala ko i would grow angel wings and a horrid halo over my head for being so sickeningly kind-mouthed!…had to bite my tongue for a whole seven months to keep myself from making rude, insensitive comments…that’s a way of warding off evil karma daa kaya–i was that desperate to be something i have no plans of becoming, hehe–pero i took the advice. you never know, right?  Right now, back to normal na ako..you can lait me din if you want para pantay kita!hehe..i’m extremely fair!

3.  or better yet, being lisensyado may mean something ENTIRELY DIFFERENT!  it may not even mean na AKO ang lisensyado!!  it may mean na somebody close to me got married and signed a MARRIAGE LICENSE na. found out a whole month after she did, by the way! am not gonna name her, baka dai pa pwede..hehe..

pero am happy for you beh, i really am.  you found the love of your life who also happens to be the first love of your life! talk about success stories! hehe…CONGRATULATIONS TO MR.—– AND MRS.——! take care of each other, you hear?

so..to the readers….choose your own adventure!!hehehe…till next time.  by the way, i still have no job. laugh at me, i don’t care! partida logod, i’ll laugh with you pa….hahahaha!!!

i don’t really know why i get depressed at weddings. (i know i’m smiling in that picture, demmet!!but i ain’t posting ugly, depressed pictures of me!!)..whenever i look at a couple i would generally try to come up with a reason why they got married, or even thought of it in the first place..hey, don’t get me wrong, i’m happy for those who did, ok? i salute every couple i know who got hitched this year, and i wish them well.. its just that..why get married at all?  i mean, i can’t even begin to imagine spending a whole week with just one person, let alone my whole life!! commitment issues. yes, i know. i have those. but who doesn’t?? i even bawled my eyes out when i saw my sister walking down the aisle towards gords. wanted to stop them, but i know my sister..she’d kick me so hard if i did!!am happy for you guys, i really am!!!honest!!

there’s really no guarantees in life. what makes one so sure that the other person is really the right person? what if the right person comes along when one is already committed to somebody else?or worse, what if one wakes up one day and realizes that there just isn’t a spark anymore??jeez..or..what if the other person now bores you to death??gaahh!!

and to think that my sentiments are not really affected by my relationship right now. its just has always been in me. i’m in a very exciting, happy relationship, and i would absolutely hate for it to end. but then, when i think of getting married, it gives me the creeps. talk about contradictions!! hhmm..and when i see couples getting married, the song that plays in my mind is queen’s another one bites the dust..hehe, weird!! i should have been a guy to begin with!!this mind set is more apt for a male than for a female..some of you may call me biased, i know. and i am!so what??get over it already!!

try as i might, i can never accept love as a reason for getting married. its just so corny and stupid to think of it that way. marriage is a cold hearted trade off for me. you want your kids to have those genes, and your partner wants your genes for his kids too. stupid? i guess so. too shallow? ok, i’ll accept that. ok, let’s move on..hehehe..

maybe its the company. the only way i’d ever get married is if i prove for myself that the guy will not turn out to be boring in the next few years or so. if he proves that i would be in for a treat. too shallow??again?? ok, i know!!

but when i look at deejay, and he smiles at me..everything changes. reason enough to get married? i don’t know yet..we’ll see. but i’d like to think so..

congratulations to all those who got married, especially my sister and gords!! these couples got over being scared and being unsure of everything and actually got hitched!!good for you guys!!kudos kudos!!

to my mentor, berns, kay biedge din, mithus, faye sharon and lalai, salamat na maray for the congratulations!! thank you thank you thank you!!! uummmuuuaaahhh!!!!!

yeah, i’m milking this for all its worth, hahaha!!

its not everyday kaya na one gets to see her name on the newspaper, i thought  na the only way my name will pop up on it kaya is if i accidentally killed somebody out of sheer anger..and provided also that i don’t get cold feet from actually murdering somebody by an episode of CSI or a show on crime & suspense..;0

a very heartfelt THANK YOU to all the people who congratulated me on this successful feat, hehe..and to all those who prayed for me, THANK YOU!! to all the people din who gave me endless encouragement and countless support, SALAMAT!!

sa family ko for giving me the strength and backing up my dreams and hopes and wishes… sa friends ko, for giving me the proverbial pat-on-the-back and the company especially pag napapainom ako due to my doubts sa boards… and to my bestfriend/djowah papadeej …luvyah!!…for always making me smile and for listening to my rants and raves, and for tolerating my hormonal imbalances and various stages of weirdness… thank you na maray!!!dakulang dakulang pasasalamat talaga!!! thank you for sharing with me this triumph!!
