Fall 05 Starts

First day of Fall 2005...I would say that there's not that much students today. Well, probably because it's Wednesday and usually students take TTH classes. As a matter fact, consider me one of those students. I have an awesome schedule this Fall. I will be going to school on Tuesdays/Thursdays from 8 AM til 4 PM...Wednesdays from 8 AM til 10 PM.
As I have noticed, several TV stations are located around campus. They're probably featuring how crowded the school this year and how our new trolley station is doing in reducing traffic.
The traffic was not that bad either and I really admired how SDSU manages to organize the flow of traffic by stationing several police officers in all 6 parking lots.
I had my first research laboratory today. We oly had a bit of intro and a short practice. I saw several familiar faces from my previous Psych classes which made me feel comfortable in that section.

Speaking of awesome schedule, I will definitely save a lot of gas...It's been on the news lately that gas prices are soaring up high. I used to get a full tank for less than 20 bucks but now, it'll cost me less than 30 bucks! Freaking crap! Here in San Diego, it went up from $2.50 to $3.00 a gallon in one week! What a rip off!
I don't know if President Bush is doing something about it. I heard last night that Hurricane Katrina that devastated the south part of the country won't have effect on gas prices. I hope so...
I am just a concern citizen, why? I can't drive that much and to think that I have to use the AC because of high humidity weather, I'd rather stay home to save a few bucks.

Whoa! August 05 will be over in less than 24 hours... and "ber" months are here already...Just the thought makes me so excited because I'll be spending the holidays in the Philippines...

Frankie J's New Song

Actually, it's not a new song... it's Frankie J's new rendition of "More Than Words"...I'm telling you, I'm so hooked...

A Challenge

Three of my gal pals are already in the nursing program...Seeing them studying like a crazy buffalo makes me think: Am I sure I wanted to be like them? Looking on the bright side, I do love challenges....and challenges makes my life exciting. I would really love to work as a CNA while waiting yet I still haven't found the right job that suits my availability. Am I that picky, too?

Come what may...

Maric College called twice regarding nursing program. I declined the offer because I can't afford my tuition...or I'll rather say, I'll be so broke by the time I graduate...

Grossmont College is updating their list and I am hoping that sometime next year, It'll be my turn to enjoy the exciting route to becoming an RN...

Palomar College bumped me up. When I received my number after I applied, I was 237th on the wailist. Now, I was bumped to number 70. My estimate is: sometime next year,too....

City College, my friend who was a semester a head of me was called in already....and I am confident that I am next in line...

Southwestern College, I applied but later on I decided to just drop it...I heard that they don't have that credibility yet when it comes to board passers...

San Diego State University, the school in which I really want get my BSN degree...Too bad, it wasn't for me. I've been holding on for that dream for two years, made my life a bit miserable...but I later on decided to let go....I've seen the signs but I kept on ignoring it....I ended up switching to Psychology. I never thought that I will enjoy this new field...Learning how people behave is so much fun...


SIX nursing schools...Am I that frustrated?
Yes, in the sense that I am so eager to earn big bucks to help my family. Ask my dad to do what he really wants to do and I'll take over financial responsibility. Yes, in the sense that I want job that is secure and in demand. Yes, in the sense that I do want a big house, several cars, and travel the world and nursing will be the easiest way to have this American dream fulfilled...

No, because this is what I want to do ever since I was a kid....and becoming a nurse will help me achieve my ultimate dream of becoming a doctor...
No, because becoming a nurse will help me achieve a position at UNICEF or the World Health Organization...

But the main question is: AM I HAPPY?
Yes I am...
My family has been a big part of why I never gave up on my dream.

Galavanting Mood

Oh yeah, I've been going out with my friends since last week...

It's so much fun!

We went to the mall today after picking up our books at the bookstore. Fave store??? Brookstone/Sharper Image!...guess what makes us stay there for a while???? the recliner/massage chair (is that what's it called? :p)

"Is that a revenge?"

Those were the words that came out from my supervisor's mouth!



AAARRRGGGGHHH!!!!

My own dictionary

booryoot= PMS + toxicity

I've been under this dilemma since Monday...

Monday, I found out that my car battery isn't working. I have to jump start it everytime I use it. I have a spare battery in my trunk plus a car jumper. So imagine me, carrying that freaking battery early in the morning and jump starting my car. My nails were ruined! Aargh...

Tuesday, I argued with my dad because he's been telling me to call in sick and drop my car at the shop to have it checked....My PMS meter is starting to reach its peak! I was so pissed off on my way to work that I made a U-turn going south instead. I called work that I'm gonna be couple hours late. I went to Kearny Mesa Saturn and guess what? I really do need my battery changed. I also decided to have my regular oil changed and asked them if they could also check my tires. I spent $150 for battery and oil change service. Moreover, they recommended to have all of my four tires changed, they're starting to be bald. I told them next time, because they gave me an estimate of less than 500 bucks for all 4 tires plus alignment. I have to suffer two hours waiting time too! When I arrived at work,gees!!!! I'm not gonna tell you no more, but heck! it was crazy! and it oozed my PMS meter near its peak!

Wednesday, work drives me crazy!!!!! I also learned that my boss is going to take a leave of absence. That made my day even worst!...
I got home to log in at EBAY... I found out that I bought the wrong SMART e-load! Gees! Good thing, the guy was nice that he gave a courtesy load so I can use the PIN that he sent me..

Thursday, I am so pissed off at my supervisor!... I called him when I got to work and left a very frustrating message....He called back, and told him that I am sick and tired with the way they set-up the schedule! He told me that he's out of town and we'll talk about this tomorrow!


I never had this very observable bad mood! I used to be very patient but heck, I think all the hormones in my body are raging like fire that I could hit anyone in the head! Arrgh!

I just wished that the right part time job will come along...

I'm lazy!

I will be Here
Tomorrow mornin' if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I...I will be here
If in the dark we lose sight of love
Hold my hand and have no fear
'Cause I...I will be here
I will be here
When you feel like bein' quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen

And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin'
Through the winnin' and losin' and tryin'
We'll be together
'Cause I will be here

Tomorrow mornin' if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I...I'll be here
Just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
I...I will be here

I will be here
You can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you

And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here

I will be true
To the promise I have made
To you and to the
One who gave you to me

I...I will be here

And just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
'Cause I...
I will be here....
We'll be together, forever

'Cause I will be here
I will be here

Image not working

I'm lazy to edit it...oh well....
I'm tired! Can you believe it that I'm going to work 48 hours this week!!! Heck yah! it's freaking crazy.. and to think that I still have to do some stuff for my school because Fall semester will start on Wednesday....

The Way you Look at Me

No one ever saw me like you do
All the things that I could add up too
I never knew just what a smile was worth
But your eyes see everything without a single word

CHORUS
'Cause there's somethin' in the way you look at me
It's as if my heart knows you're the missing piece
You make me believe that there's nothing in this world I can't be
I never know what you see
But there's somethin' in the way you look at me

If I could freeze a moment in my mind
It'll be the second that you touch your lips to mine
I'd like to stop the clock, make time stands still
'Cause, baby, this is just the way I always wanna feel

BRIDGE
I don't know how or why I feel different in your eyes
All I know is it happens every time



~~~~
Here's a pic of my cute nephew! he's getting bigger!!!
They're gonna move here from Bakersfield... for sure my mom will start to spoil him! hahaha

Huhuhu!!! My booboo

I never had this huge booboo since I started working at McDonalds...
But earlier today, I got one.. it's two inches long...good thing I put ice right away or else it'll bubble....
I told my co-worker that the booboo came up the wrong time.. why? My oath taking is on Thursday, and my burn is on my right arm...

On the other hand, I came up with a silly idea:
Turning 25 means that I can now log in to any online dating services. I am just wondering if I'll post my profile, will someone reply????
'Coz I've been on search for a travelling partner...I bought a map and hopefully start pinning the locations I want to visit. The thing is though, it'll be great if I'll find someone who shares the same passion, right? Hmmm...what do you guys think? :p

Anyways, I really like this song, moreover its MTV...

Each day With you
Flowers for you, on this lovely evening
Though they have no words
they share my feelings
As we walk along the avenue
Pardon me I just can't help staring at you

When I look into those sparkling eyes
I float in the air and wander in paradise
You give my heart a source of inspiration
Your beauty is beyond imagination

CHORUS:
You are the one
The only one that I desire
When we touch
When we're one you light the fire
The seasons we share
Hand in hand, there seems to be no time
Each day with you becomes a Valentine

Time must go on and so must we
Moments slip away but not the memories
One day as we look back
with all this treasure
Candlelight that shines beyond forever

~~~~~

Lastly, I've been tagged by Trish...In return, I'm not gonna tag anybody! :p
What are the things you enjoy even when there's no one around you
- laugh and smile, even when I'm reading a book, I do smile and I don't care even when I'm all by myself

- watch romantic movies, I'm even worst when I'm alone coz I have the freedom to cry and snort at the same time! hahaha

- observe, seriously, I love doing this and I am really good at it!


What lowers your stress blood pressure/anxiety level
- sleep, talk about assignments or projects that are due in a week, I have to have a decent amount of sleep so I can be at my best and with a very very low anxiety level

- warm "goodluck" or words of encourangement from friends and family before the event that causes my anxiet level to rise

- keeping a positive thought, this helps me to keep my cool during the times that I am really frustrated!

PS,
Isn't he cute???? Awww...he's eyes are so adorable!

A very satisfying rest

We got back from the family camp yesterday. It was awesome! I've got plenty of rest. I never had that much sleep in my entire life! Swimming, eating, and sleeping are the main activities I did during camp. Good thing I didn't get any sunburns, putting tons of sunblock do work! I didn't take much photos either but I'll share some that I find really interesting..
This is Lake Henshore at Sta Ysabel, CA...this is where we had our family camp


This is our tent


The inside of our tent, with two air beds, of course, I didn't forget to bring my togepi


My brother, who did nothing except sleeping


Furthermore, the camp even became more colorful, when someone unexpectedly showed up that made my heart pump a bit faster. After all the thinking I've been doing the past few months, there he is...still amazes me...We didn't talk that much but the thought of him being near to me was just so wonderful. The smores became sweeter than what I expeceted. The air became cooler than what I expected. And the fire became more fiery than what I expected. Awwww...the only thing that was missing was, him sweeping me off my feet...Other than that, I still feel euphoric (is there such a term?) Call me crazy or better call me someone dreamy...the sound of his guitar playing is enough to remind me of the FEELING!...

In a few hours

I just finished packing my stuff....

And for all girls out there, you know what I mean... Three-day-stuff is equivalent to a whole closet, right?

I'll try to post some pictures when I come back!

Have a good weekend!

Yey!

We'll be gone for 3 days!!!
Finally, I can relax before the school starts!

Nothin' Much

Same old ways....

My back hurts....I've been working really really hard since last week because 7 people has been fired due to unfortunate circumstance....
At the same time, I've been surrounded with newbies which really tests my patience...Good thing is I can still keep a happy face although, I really can't stand training 3 new persons all at the same time!

Oh well, God is good... He's been giving me strength and of course loads of patience so I can survive the day....

I'm holding on to one more day this week and hoping that we will going to have a blast at the family camp. 3 days away from the hustle and bustle of a very busy lifestyle. Oh! I hope to get a chance to drop by at the city library to borrow some books that I can bring to camp.

Few more weeks and school semester's gonna start. I haven't registered yet but again, I am hopeful to get the best professors and a very comfortable schedule. I am granted with work study so probably I'll be working two jobs. I really have to stay active plus I have to save some spending money for my PI trip.

I have to take a shower now....and wishing for a very soothing, relaxing, and satisying sleep.... Good day to you!

Senti Mode: STILL ON

Please Don't Ask Me

Please don't ask me what am I thinkin'
It's about you
Please don't ask me
I never can see you
What can I do?

My first impulse is to run to your side
My heart's not free and so I must hide
Please don't ask me what I'm gonna say to you

I toss and turn, can't sleep at night
It's worrying me
I go to bed, turn out the light
It's your face I see

It only hurts the more I pretend
That we could ever be more than friends
Please don't ask me why I'm so in love with you

You could easily make me happy, that I know
And I'll try my best to never tell you so
I will sing to you my love songs and pretend
And I'll keep this secret right down `til the end

Please don't ask me why
I'm not talking
I just can't explain
And please don't ask me why
I go walkin' out in the rain
I could not live the lie it would take
To have you near would be a mistake
Please don't ask me why
I'm still in love with you
No, please don't ask me...

*Senti Mode: ON*

You ought to know by now
Love is the look in my eye
Lovin’ the way you smile when I say
“I wish you would stay”
You bring out all the youth in me
I laugh and cry out all the truth in me
Out of love
You should know by now

Haven’t you felt by now
Just what it’s like to be loved
Knowin’ that certain touch when you’re sure
Time won’t give you more
You bring out all the best in me
I wanna hold you till you feel t he need somehow
You should know

That if I could just find the words
I wouldn’t be left so lonely
I’m your one and only
Then I’d show you how

Every move as smooth as silk
Say you will
Baby, say you will

Hasn’t it crossed your mind
Haven’t you known all this time
Honestly tell me now, has it shown
How much love has grown
The way I tremble at the sight of you
I wanna learn to love you through and through
This I’ll beg
You should know by now

You should know by now…
You should know… by now…
You should know I love you
You should know by now

Wish

"Starlight, starbright, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish, I wish tonight."

I wish I could help them...I wish I can do something to make their life a bit easier...


My heart is then again shattered into pieces... :(

Day-off

I feel so lazy....I mean to blog...

One more time!

OUCH OUCH OUCH!
My wisdom tooth is killing me!

~~Because of You~~

If ever you wondered if you touched my soul yes you do
Since I met you I'm not the same
You bring life to everything I do
Just the way you say hello
With one touch I can't let go
Never thought I'd fall in love with you...

Chorus:
Because of you, my life has changed, thank you for the love and joy you bring
Because of you, I feel no shame, I'll tell the world it's because of you

Verse 2:
Sometimes I get lonely and all I gotta do is think of you
You captured something inside of me
You make all of my dreams come true
It's not enough that you love me for me
You reached inside and touched me eternally
I love you best explains how I feel for you...

Chorus:
Because of you, my life has changed, thank you for the love and the joy you bring
Because of you, I feel no shame, I'll tell the world it's because of you

Bridge:
The magic in your eyes
True love I can't deny
When you hold me I just lose control
I want you to know that I'm never letting go
You mean so much to me I want the world to see,
It's because of you

Chorus:
Because of you, my life has changed, thank you for the love and the joy you bring
Because of you, I feel no shame, I'll tell the world it's because of you
My life has changed thank you for the love and the joy you bring
Because of you, I feel no shame, I'll tell the world it's because of you...

Spoken:
Because of you

(I love this song!!!!!)

Arrgh!

These people are messing up my budget!
Gees...I guess I have to call them for the 3rd time to change the date for automatic checking withdrawal...Arrgh!!! I hate receiving an overdraft letter!! Ay! they are so pissing me off right now!

I feel so restless

The weekend was great...I was able to sleep 10 hours Saturday and Sunday...Since I got here in Sunny San Diego, I rarely get this much sleep anymore. I considered myself lucky of I get 8 hours or sleep each day. Furthermore, I won't deny that sleeping has been like air for me. If you know that I'm cranky that day, it only means one thing, I DIDN'T GET ENOUGH SLEEP!...Is this also part of the phase???? I used to be excited by getting 3 hours of sleep when I was on my late teens but heck, now, I'll be like a screaming machine charged with the energizer bunny!

Anyways, the celebrated my birthday with my family. I didn't do anything special coz I decided to use my money to buy my plane ticket...We had dinner at the buffet...OMG! I never ate that much seafood in my entire life!!!!!! Eating shrimp and the like are not my favorite thing in the world...why? I'm lazy! hahaha
But last Saturday, I ate a mountain of snow crab legs and a plate of those baby lobsters (they look more of a lobster than shrimp, oh well, I bet they're related!)While I was eating, gees! HELLO CHOLESTEROL! I felt so guilty!!! So after dining in, I waited for two hours and started burning the calories! I am so satisfied though!

My wisdom tooth didn't bother me while I was pigging out with all those crustaceans...but after a while, it still hurts like crazy. I can barely open my mouth to chat! and if you know me, a day without chatting for me is like Filipinos without rice... go figure!

I am so restless....
