The usual things.

The usual scenario of Wolfy-chan waking up late happened again earlier this morning. I had to brush my teeth in record time and change from my sleeping clothes to school uniform. I can't imagine how you will react to me not taking a bath but I was really in a hurry. (Que horror, really, to think that I'm a nursing student.) Take note that I have done this many a time so I wasn't a bit bothered. At least I took a completely cleansing bath the night before.

I arrived school some ten to fifteen minutes after eight. My class on Tuesdays usually start 7:30, Health Economics by Ma'am Basco. I was so thankful that she didn't give a quiz, or forgot to give it. I slowly climbed up to the fifth floor where we usually held our class. When I got there, panting with thighs sore from the effort, I saw another class using the room so I had to find my class. It didn't take me a minute. I found them at the skills lab one, the room that usually witnessed my late arrivals last trimester and where Ma'am Pe always admonished, "Mr. Anongos I don't want any dramatic entrances anymore," after which she'd ask for a valid reason why I came in late. Of course I couldn't provide her with an answer those days because I usually overslept. I'm a sleep deprived animal.

The rest of the day passed with me usually worn out. Arrived home at about seven or eight. I could only guess since I didn't take a look at my mobile. Ate dinner alone, as always on weekdays. Then I took a nice cold bath. It's usually a cold bath for me. I love a cold shower. I don't know why really. Maybe because it's the usual ritual for me?

Then I checked my e-mail. Found a couple of Friendster comments turned messages from Leda. I replied because that's the usual thing we do, reply whenever someone starts a healthy conversation.

Then I'm now off to Lala Land. Ain't that usual for you too?

Reports

A minute ago, I finished my report in fundamentals of nursing that will be presented tomorrow morning. It is all about the different fields of nursing. It's a powerpoint presentation, actually. I initially planned on writing it down on plain manila paper or have it in acetate form but I decided against it since two of my groupmates already have their laptops.

I'm choosing between hospital or institutional nursing and nursing education. Why? Avenues for progress in nursing practice are very open in both since I'll be compelled to upgrade my skills in seminars and in the clinical area. I also want to teach someday after I get my masters.

Leda already has a Globe number thank goodness. She's been a Smart loyalist ever since so I'm a bit happy because with the 232 function, I'll be able to call her anytime at a lower cost.

What Rudolph Means

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way. And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life. You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it. You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row. You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace. People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are influential and persuasive. You tend to have a lot of power over people. Generally, you use your powers for good. You excel at solving other people's problems. Occasionally, you do get a little selfish and persuade people to do things that are only in your interest. You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person.

A bit of good news.

Ma'am Pe, our teacher in health care 2 last trimester, is still our teacher in foundations of nursing, CHD, and strat. Initially, I got the news from Ian that she's indeed our teacher in "one of our subjects" which turned out to be two subjects, strat and CHD, but earlier this morning news came straight from Ma'am Pe herself that she'll be our teacher in foundations too. How nice, I thought. Ma'am's really a competent teacher and a little strict for my liking. She'll be with us Mondays and Thursdays the whole day.

Now for a bit of bad news to balance the meal, Leda's edol(her laptop) still hasn't got a genuine OS. I told her to install pirated OS but she had divided thoughts on it. I played the devil's advocate (I'm really good at this) and encouraged her to take my advice through our correspondence in Friendster. We'll it's not half as bad if it's properly done. Genuine OS is just way beyond the normal budget students like us have.

That would be all for now.

Bye.

New Year

The whole family, sans father, greeted the new year together. Papi Ben was even there, though he didn't participate much in the picture taking and stuff. He just ate New Year's Eve dinner inside the house.

It was fun. We rarely get to stay together in a single place for five minutes these days. But father didn't call. Maybe he had work or couldn't get through the busy phone lines. He called yesterday though and that alone will suffice.

Mama and the twins hit the sack before three and I at five.

Love and Peace!

I did a Trigun marathon. Trigun was showed during my elementary years but then I never got a chance to watch it. Not until now.

It didn't waste my time, true. But I have to admit that the tearjerker moments became increasingly heavy as the show progressed. And I didn't expect that factor to motivate me to finish the whole series in one sitting. The plot seemed confusing at first but thank goodness it was patched up in the middle of the show.

Vash was just too reluctant to blow up people's heads and when he did, he cried, showing his softer, human side. And his brother was just plain evil.

Sigh. I had high hopes that he would kill his brother. But he didn't, which was a total disappointment. At least, that's my interpretation because it seemed to have had a semi-hanging ending which wouldn't seem that way if one took a closer look at the last episode.

Merry Christmas

I have finished reading the seventh book of the Harry Potter series. I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed the first six. Although I'm quite convinced that it was just too rich for my own liking. I think I'll give it a 7 with 10 being the highest.

I'm reading Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's Good Omens. I hope it's a good read though. The book was recommended by Ate Aisu.

Merry Christmas to everyone!
