Monday
I was off from work and school..but I have plenty of stuff to accomplish for the next day.
I went to my volunteer work early morning to get my recommendation letter for my report which is due today...
Then I went to National City to buy another pair of SCRUBS. I was supposed to buy my nursing shoes, too but I ended up at JOLLIBEE instead...I bought peach mango pie and Ube pear coolers....I wasn't craving for spaghetti and chicken joy so I just had some desserts..
I was able to buy a pair of shoes but it's not nursing shoes...I found this really cool ADIDAS running shoes and bought that instead... I remembered that my intructor told us that we can wear any shoes as long as the major color is white....*lol* good excuse, huh?
Later afternoon, I called up the Financial Aid office at SDSU... this time, I just heard a very bad news....I spent the rest of the day feeling hopeless and depressed...

Today
I think I feel better now.......
I was bored and sleepy in class this morning... I wasn't impressed on how she teaches... most of the times, all she talks about has nothing to do with the subject....arrgh!!! and my classmates who were almost the same age as hers were the only ones enjoying the topic! goodness!!!

I'm watching Tagalog Movies right now... while doing this Friendster thingie! Goodness! I'm into it!

When was the last time I updated my blog????

I think that was Wednesday...oh well...

Friday
I almost had a major fight with one of my co manager....
Remember, I was talking about the transition that was happening at work... Anyways, Isabel... she used to be a store manager before but she got demoted to a 1st Assistant Manager...It was my first time to work with her last Friday...We are so busy and we are really really short handed... Meaning that we only have less that 10 people to work....She asked me to go on drive thru... I told her... HECK NO! I only have two cute hands and I am not taking the order, getting my order, and be a manager all at the same time!... She was pissed so she asked me to go Grill instead to help them out...She was really snobbish... and tho think she used to be a store manager.... I hate to say this.... but she doesn't know how to run the store! Oh my goodness!!! She really is getting into my nerves!!! and I don't want to work with her!!!

Saturday
I opened the store with Isabel of course... I have no choice!
Anyways, I just followed all her orders and not complain just to get along with her....Oh yeah... she even asked me to come at at 4:30 AM... I was like... HECK NO!!!(haven't you noticed that I had the same answer! lol)..I went home late that Friday night coz I need to work til 10 PM... and there's no chance for me to wake up earlier than 4 AM the next day...
What happen at work was, she also had an argument with one of my co managers... It was funny... she was so paranoid! she thinks that everyone hates her...it's just that she gets so bossy around us... HELLO! we were just on the same level now....

Later this afternoon, I went to attend my co worker's daughter's first birthday... She's so cute!!!
I felt so weird today....about someone...I still don't wanna think about it...coz it's not right...I am not supposed to feel this way....this is sooo wrong!
Darn! only if I didn't attended that party! I shouldn't been like this..

Monday
nothin much to say..... same routine...I felt so sleepy though in the class.....I had 2 cups of coffee....and a cup of tea...count the caffeine intake.......
My instructor is kinda boring too...all she talks about is about her two sons.... every single session!!!!!!!and my fave spot in the room was the left corner at the back....I can see everybody starting to doze off!!! as she starts to teach!!! on the other hand, she's good when it comes to actuals...

Tuesday
First day of FALL!!!!!
And it was right!!! It was really chilly!!!! I am not fond of cold weather but I missed Fall.... and it makes me think that Christmas is just around the corner....Sometimes, I miss how they play Christmas songs already in the Philippines by the month of September....Well, here is so different!!!!'Coz people will celebrate the Halloween first and then Thanksgiving then Christmas.....Since this will be my 4th Christmas in here... I am getting used to it....oh well....

In my night class, we watched a movie titled Tuesdays with Morrie....Goodness Gracious!!!!!........ it was so heartwarming that I shed "buckets" of tears!!! I thought Pay it Forward was the number one on my list that gave me puffy eyes afterwards but...this one with Morrie won the 1st place now!!!! So if you're planning to see this, be sure to have plenty of napkins beside you unless you're born with a tough heart!....I felt embarassed but when I saw the rest of my classmates, oi! I wasn't the only one who was a cry baby!!!

Wednesday
I had my Hepa shot... still stings though... but I am fine....
I had no more problems with my requirements in my clinicals... I had my physical exam and all of my vaccinations already.... even my fingerprints!!! I will just gonna turn in everything first thing tomorrow!!!! I am so relieved!!!

Then went to the beauty salon to get a haircut...... I had a three-inch trim and I have her layered my hair.....I am trying to get rid of my highlights but she said that to do that, I need to get a hair color.... Oh nevermind!!! dyeing my hair causes it to be dry that's why I need to get rid of it....BTW, it will only take 3 months and I'm back to my original brunette looks.....My hair was sooo long that I felt so much lighter now after that three inch cut....


Ok dokie... that's it.... I spent half an hour just to post this crap!!! lol
I think something's wrong with SHOUT OUT....coz it won't show...anyways, gotta bounce now!!!

I have lots of stories to tell..... but I'm so preoccupied with my homeworks right now...

BTW, I would like to thank someone who's so nice to offer his help to put a SHOUT OUT section in here..... you know who you are!!!! Thanks!!!! and I appreciate it so much!!!!!!!!

I wonder where he is????

I went shopping with my mom after our regular Sunday service... we went to WALMART!!!!...I bought 2 pairs of white scrubs.... all I need to get now.. is a nice pair of white nursing shoes...I'm so excited!
Then we headed at Henry's and brought plenty of fruits...
Right now, I am doing the laundry....
so while waiting for the drier... why not post something here , right?

I guess that's it... Oh btw, I need to finish my report and then do my homework... sleep early... so I have enough fuel for the rest of another busy week!!!

Bye!

What a stressful day!!!

Anyways, I just finished chatting with Lowlah Jary....Nice to hear you voice Lowlah....And that was a really bubbly talk!!! you know what I mean, right? *winks*

As drove to work this morning, it was foggy....a sign meaning that Summer is already over and here comes Fall...Sometimes, I love foggy mornings because it helps me clean my car...all I need is to wipe down the mists and there you go....all nice, shiny, and clean! although other times, it's really hard to drive on the roads...

I went through my mails which as always, are composed of junkmails and important mails...I was so pissed off to receive a letter from my health insurance stating that I need to pay something....What the!!!! so what are insurances for???? I didn't had a major surgery... all I had was a very short consultation!!!
I need to clear this....

Then we had dinner at the mall...I was really tempted to go shopping but I managed to successfully controll it!!!

Goodnight!!!!

I'm soooooooooooo tired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's gonna be a test again tomorrow!!!

I started to work to my supposed to be store... IT WAS SSOOOSOOOO SLOW!!! It was the total opposite of my former store! I am still thinking if I'm gonna transfer... I am all chaotic right now.... I am planning to take a month leave from work coz of my school...but my financial status is not so stable right now....I still need to pay off some of my credit cards...I promised myself to start a new year DEBT FREE!!!

School is starting to be more interesting...We did how beddings are made in hospitals and health care facilities! I didn't even know that they put too many linens and there's even a proper way to tuck in the sheets!

Anyways, did you know that half of my classmates were Filipinos???
That's right! Most Filipinos here in San Diego or let say California enters in the field of nursing...I talked to them and found out that most of them are going to pursue RN... isn't that so cool? As I learned about the possible careers in nursing... I thought of becoming a Nurse practitioner...that's gonna be a long way ahead of me... but I want to be optimistic about it!!!.. one step at a time...

I want to put a *shout out* thingie in here... but I haven't had a time to do it... unless someone volunteers to do it for me! (paging, Mr JM )

Do you know how happy I am today?????

Remember, we had a test at my CNA class today!!! I got a 100% .... I became very famous suddenly!!! hahaha.. Oh.... I'm starting to be cocky!!! Oh well... I sacrificed my online life for this test!!!

I hope to be consistent for the rest of the program!!!....

Still under a budget crisis.... I asked how much a Hepa Vaccination gonna cost... and it's around $60... I also need a DT shot and even chicken pox shot!...Oh my goodness!!!!Ouch!

I also went online window shopping for SCRUBS ... I wonder where can I buy it around here somewhere...

Got to go!!! still got some more studying to do!!

MAhn!!! I miss the stuff I used to do last summer... like chatting through YM with some friends...and spending quality time pexing... *lol*
it's really hard to make time...

I felt so tired and sleepy.!!!!
Since I took the CNA class.. seems like I won't be getting enough time for myself!!! Last night, I spend the rest of my hours rushing through my workbook and readings!!! And to think that after two days!!! we have a test tomorrow!!!!!
I haven't done my reading with my other class coz I am so preoccupied with this CNA thingie!!!!

Oh well, got to rush now....bye!

Oh crap! I'm in a budget crisis right now!

Well... blog update!
SUNDAY my usual... it was my schedule to teach kids so I did...it was handful! I've got this two newbies...and they even gave me heart attack! *lol* but I survived and that's cool with me!

I started my CNA class this morning...although i came in 10 minutes later than the actual time... coz I got lost...I was glad that my instructor was fine because she knows how hard it is to find the place!
The class is free but then I have to pay for the textbooks and workbooks plus all the necessary vaccinations and fingerprinting... PLUS... uniform and shoes...
I also dropped my Asian Studies class because I am having a hard time to fit it into my schedule...
This is one of the most important things I learned moving here in the US...Time Management...every single minute counts!

Oh yeah.. I forgot... I went to see a movie last night with my girl friends... Darn! this movie is now included in my Most Suckiest Movie list!..my friend just insisted that we watch this..Cabin Fever,....a movie, which is just a waste of time and money! it was so funny how the people reacted after seeing the movie... I even heard this guy said that I'm not gonna watch a movie again in a month...On the previews... think Halle Berry's movie which is titled Gothika will be a good one... oh well..

I was so glad I'm off at work today.. although they still did called me up to tell me that they need my company at work...I just told them I need to do something at school...
I went to SDSU earlier this morning to get my book on Asian Studies...Unfortunately, all books were out and it will take a week before they ship it in...so I decided to but it through Amazon.com... it's more expensive coz I chose the 2 day delivery....
Then afterwards, I went to the bank to check on my account and drop off some checks, just in time for the automatic deduction of my car insurance....
Went home and tried to memorize all the Asia's leaders....Darn! it's not that easy.... it's really a tongue twister!
So I decided to shift gears and read my book on Flow and did my figure-puppet... it's not finished yet...and I still have no idea what to do next...

Oh! today is my bestfriend's birthday!!! Happy Birthday, KARLA,...hope to see yah soon!

Hi!

I'm tired... and that's it!

an excerpt from the 9/11 website in comemmoration for all the victims of the 9/11 attack

On September 11th, 2001 Our world changed forever.

We must all find the wisdom, comfort and strength to move forward.

But we must always remember those who were lost, who died living their lives with the freedom we so cherish.

We Shall Never Forget


let's take a minute of our time in deep silence in honor of the 3,012 people who died in the September 11 attack

Yehey!!! I was able to crash the Asian Studies class although I have a complaint with my professor... he's really old! I need to memorize all the presidents and prime minister of all the countries in Asia.... and even their geography!!!!

My volunteer went well.... Val was really nice.... I still have two more hours left and I'm gonna finish it tomorrow... then I need to drive all the way to SDSU bookstore to get my book....

Oh well, I guess that's it... darn! I need to see Regine and Christopher's movie this weekend before my CNA class starts....Here goes my very hectic schedule!!!!!!

Nyt!

Whew! I can now feel that my schedule for this semester is starting to become so hectic!
My boss asked me about my schedule for this coming week.... I will be moving with her to another store although I am still having second thoughts about that....
I am planning to crash a class tomorrow and hopefully I can get in... it's gonna be either Modern Asian Studies or International Health.....I also have no idea how the adding of class works so I'm just gonna see what I can do about it....

Volunteer day tomorrow!!!

I have the weirdiest class ever! I am talking about this Recreation class I'm taking.... sheesh! we have this project that we need to present in front of the class... it is actually a paper doll and we need to be creative in illustrating it with regards to our most favorite or planning to do with our leisure time....I am planning to give my paper doll an outfit thats has something to do with Carribean or Hawaiian style...with coconut bikinis and stuff!!! that will be really really cool! what do u think?

Shoot! I still need to buy some stamps...

Oh well, got to go! bye!

I tried to crash a tennis class.... but my friend who was supposed to join me didn't showed up so I just decided to quit it... although I'm still gonna buy myself my own tennis racket and just ask my uncle to teach me...

Starting Wednesday and Thursday, I'm gonna start to volunteer to an elementary school helping them out in the library.... that's really cool besides that I'm gonna finish my report in two weeks earlier, for sure I will have lots of fun!.....The lady or maybe the librarian that I talked earlier this morning sounded so nice.... and I hope even better in person...

Got to go now, I need to finish my homework for tomorrow's class....nyt!

What is up with me?????

Aarrghh!!! I just hate myself sometimes especially when I feel timid and shy!...that means the same thing right?

Oh well,....

Our first hand shake!!! he has this really nice soft hands....

I had an hour work out today after getting off from work at 1:30....Then did a little shopping stuff like lotions and body sprays.... I hope these will last for another 3 months....

I still haven't done my homework yet... to find a volunteer job.... I've been browsing through sandiegovolunteers.com and I am beginning to be more and more picky...it's only a five hour volunteer but still I want it to be fun!.. I might just go for tutoring after school to elementary kids...I don't like elementary kids here besides that they're stubborn they're also spoiled brats... most of them actually...Well, I guess there is where I can find the one I'm looking for... FUN!

Good Night...

Taking Recreation 304 is just in time.... why? I have been always upset maybe 4 times a week.....I promise to myself that I need to always be optimistic about stuff!!!! It's hard! But I'm working on it..... :)

My friend called asking me if I'm still interested to go with them to the Philippines on December.... I found out that the supposed to be $700 airfare was increased to $1000....I am having second thoughts about it now...That's a big amount of money and I need to sacrifice a lot....I don't know.... I am even teased by my friends in the Philippines because I keep on telling them that I'm visiting on every December that passes by and it seems like it's taking me forever to accomplish it! I love to visit PI....but if my parents are going to celebrate their Silver anniversary on July in the PI... I might as well just go with them on July....and also it's time for my next birthday.... for sure that will be a great birthday present!

Well, if the PI trip will be erased in my things to do list this year, I might just go with my aunt to Canada instead...The airfair will be much cheaper and I have her to accompany me financially!!! hahahaha!!!!

But who knows what might happen, right? For sure, the time will come for me to visit the Philippines sooner or later...but right now, I need to do something with regards to my school issues.... one at a time.....

I guess that's it for me today....Good Night!

Aaarrrgggghhhhh!!!!!

I tried my best to stay positive for the rest of the day but I just can't after what happen at school earlier today!
I was the first one on my Physiology class waitlist.....when the professor suddenly announced my name in the list where they dropped my name for some reason....He told me to talk to the registrar and asked him/her what happen.... I am all pissed that time because I badly needed this class to move on to Nursing program....I need it to get into any school I wanted to apply if ever I won't be lucky enought to get into the program next semester at SDSU....

I talked to this guy at the Registrar's office, and he told me that they sent me an email or either a fone call confirming to save my spot before August 13.... I haven't got any!!!!!!! That's why I am all frustrated and fury at the same time!....I told him that I need that class and he goes "I know, it's pretty tough right now" ... I said to myself.... "Dude, what the heck was wrong with you? can you just suggest anything that I could do to get my spot back!" ....

Hah! I really have no idea what to do!.. I am just blaming it all at Governor Davis with all those budget cuts that's why the college needs to cut some of their classes! and Physiology was one of those classes!... It's really hard to save a spot because besides the people who were in the waitlist.... there are still bunch of students trying to crash the class....When I left the room, the professor said that there were only 5 spots left!!!

I am just one step away from the Nursing program! and now I am here starting a new plan! I was thinking that it's not meant to be....Anyways, I still have my CNA class two weeks from now and a class at SDSU....I'm still hopeful that next semester I can get in at SDSU's nursing program....

I will try to stay positive for this whole day!

That was one of the things I learned from taking Recreation 304...

I'll see yah later..

I love Big Brother... I've been into reality tv shows lately....It's fun watching it!

Anyways, first day of school....I had my Recreation 304 and the professor seems nice. At first I thought she was Filipino coz of her lastname, Gabay...but well, she's not although she asked if someone in the room is a Filipino because she knows what her lastname means in Tagalog. I have no idea if I'm gonna enjoy this class....besides that there was no CUTIBLE around the syllabus is kinda tough....And we need to attend a YOGA session, volunteer for at least 5 hours, and present a multimedia about what we wanted to do with our life when it comes to leisure and recreation....The YOGA thing strikes me the most.... Oh my gosh! I heard from people doing it that this is harder that what I think it is.... stretching is the difficult part! Oh well....

As I went to see my doctor earlier today regarding my blood test, she requires me to lose at least 10 lbs within a month...she also recommended that my regular thrice a week gym session be increased to at least five times a week....They found out that I am mildly diabetic and it needs to be prevented to becoming totally diabetic which requires insulin shots! So as of now, I will be monitoring my blood-glucose level in a month plus all the diets and exercise that I need.....

I'm still glad that they found out early before it gets worst! My mom's family side had history of diabetes so I better be very careful....My younger brother who was only 20 was also diabetic...

Good Morning!!!!

I woke up with muscle painns, I think I got it from yesterday after my battle with those guys trying to throw me into the water....

Well, first day of school!!! You might be wondering what the heck am I doing online during these times.... My class will be starting at 6:30 this afternoon so I still have plenty of time to go online...

But two weeks from now, my CNA class will be starting so by 6:30 AM, I'm out of the house already and for sure I will be so lucky enough if I have at least 2 hours to spare in front of the PC...

I missed the guy....I wonder what he's doing right now....

Labor Day Picnic
Just got home from Poway....it was a blast!
We had lots of food such as pinakbet, barbecue, palabok, pansit, embutido, etc....desserts such as cassava cake, turon, lychee juice, fruit salad, etc.....I can say it was a Feast...
The picnic was held at a recreation center with amenities such as swimming pool, billiards, and table tennis...I had no plans of swimming coz school will be starting tomorrow and I don't want to get dark! hahaha!!!.... Anyways, with this in mind, I didn't bring any swimsuit with me nor towels.....After eating lunch, we had games.. lots of them!
Then one by one, each of the guys were thrown at the pool!
Almost everybody were thrown except for the ladies who were claiming that the Red Flag is Up....I am all wet and to think I am wearing my contacts...I was so glad that my eyes didn't get irritated....
Although, I went home wearing a trash bag, I enjoyed this holiday so much!

The person I wanted to see today was not able to attend...I wonder what happen... he might be working or something...I am all ready to have a conversation with him but I guess it's not yet the right time......I missed him though...

School will be starting tomorrow....
I also need to see my doctor about my blood test and tuberculin test.....

Good Morning!!!!

I hope this really nice weather will continue for the rest of the day...

Have a nice Labor Day!
