Sakitin ka kasi

My condition has gone worse. I now even have rashes all over my body because of my body's reaction to the virus. :(

I've been reading Harper's Illustrated Biochemistry again this summer. Like what I've said before, I'm going to spend most of my time reading books to load-up my poor puny brain with new things. Harper's book has been my reference way back in 2nd year High School Biology. I rarely read the book that we had for exams because everything else was there in Harper's. I'm back to Krebs Cycle now. Haha.

Anyway, I checked on Hanyang Medical School in Seoul's site and checked on the requirements for medical school studies there. Going there to study Medicine is one of my goals after my undergraduate studies in UP [naks, wala pa nga may plans na] because Hanyang is one of the top medical schools in Asia. And according to a lot of medical materials I've read, South Korea offers a great deal when it comes to Asian and Oriental Medicine. I found out that the process of application there is very difficult and quite a hassle. They still require foreign students to have this Langueagee Prougrams that they offer when the fact is they will be using English medical books naman. Hay nako. It's not that I don't want to learn the foreign language but I think it's just pointless. Isn't it that they should be the one to study English instead? Here in the Philippines, we don't have Tagalog-written medical books. But I saw their Med School curriculum and it's really nice. They even have Foot Surgery included in their curriculum. Foot Surgery. Isn't that uncanny and nice? Haha. Of course they have Biochimstry and Mouleculare Biology. Haha. I don't want the to take the Language Program. I won't be needing that much since they said that all instructions in lectures are in English and not in Korean. Oh well, since I really want to enter Hanyang, I guess I have to take their Langueagee Prougrams.

Everyone here in home laughs whenever they see my very very fat face. I laugh, too when I see myself in the mirror. I do not look like my old self anymore. Mukhang kargador ng siopao sa Binondo ang mukha ko. I'm scary. Madeline doesn't even recognize me. She's not going to me whenever I call her. :( And it really aches like hell. It's been three days that I've been waking up in midnight because of the pain and it just sucks that the pain reliever won't effect that fast--and I can't take pain relievers more than once a day because that would burn my liver off. The rashes are very red, hot and itchy especially at night. I don't know if my face would still be bigger the next days because it's just Day 3 today--and this viral infection commonly lasts for 2 weeks. My front teeth also ache now because of the different biting position due to the inflammation of the parotid glands just beside the molars. Everything's painful and ugly :(

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KRIZZA ABILLAR! I MISS YOU NA, BES! [APRIL 15] :) I'M SORRY I WASN'T ABLE TO GO TO YOUR PLACE YESTERDAY :( I'M SICK.

Queen of Epidemics

This is the saddest day of my life. The impulse just destroyed the momentum [remember Physics]. This is so sad. :(

I thought the record was already broken last year. But hey, it's just April and 2007 has almost just started! Pwede pang pang-habol sa nawala sa 2006. And yes, my friends, there's another addition to my list: Small Pox, Chicken Pox, Dengue Stage II, __________

MUMPS. BEKE
BILATERAL MUMPS. BEKE SA DALAWANG PISNGI.

I am such an unfortunate person. I should be partying at this moment of time at Bopeep's birthday bash but due to this unfortunate event that I just came to know the moment I woke up early in the morning, I am here quarantined at home.

I sought for my baby records this morning and checked if I had been given the MMR vaccine because I plan to blame my mom if I see that I haven't been given those shots. What the hell, that was even the first vaccine injected to me and I had booster doses after. My brother, who in the other hand also had mumps in the past weeks also have been given MMR. So it's a proven fact that vaccines do not give 100% assurance that you'll be protected until sixteen years of age.

My cheeks, my neck, my back ache like hell. And add to this unfortunate day that there has been a 7-hour power interruption in the whole vicinity that I live in. I was really itching to go to somewhere else but my mom said it'll just make it worse. I can take the pain but I just can't take my ugly face whenever I look at it in the mirror. My cheeks are very fat, they're round, big, and very plumpy. It reminds me of a schoolmate whose cheeks are of the same descriptions abovementioned; plus her cheeks are very unproportional to her built. Eeew. This is the main reason why I would prefer hiding myself than to go out and swim in the clubhouse like me brother did today. It makes me think that I look like her. Yikes! I have thrice the size of Jollibee's cheeks. I'm Humpy Dumpy--special Chinese siopao version. It's actually funny; and it's hard for me to laugh because the moment I do, it would just ache unbearably. Hell, why did this happen to me?! Buti nalang summer. Unlike the past years, I always get sick when it's August--when it's exam season; which makes the teachers in school think that I'm not really sick at all. Ridiculous.

I'll be missing a lot of fun tonight. Finch Patrol's there--and EHEM. Finch Patrol wouldn't be complete without Me -- their forever industrious project-maker. Haha. :) I love those people even though they made me mad a lot of times last school year.

Thank God there's Jollibee Burger Steak and Chickenjoy. I haven't eaten the whole day because I have appetite loss. Jollibee would only be the one to make me eat although eating when you have mumps is the suckiest thing ever. I don't care about the pain basta Jollibee! Haha.

HAPPY FREAKING BIRTHDAY, TRACY BERNADETTE VIDAD. YOU CONFUSE ME, YOU KNOW. HAHA. :)

details of events

Since I was a kid, I have never known any other college. It was put to mind by the people I live with that I should go there. And I am destined to be there. And as I grew older, being there has been my ultimate academic dream and the process I have undergone just to be there wasn't as easy as the others'. But now I'm close to it, I just can't feel that I'm happy.

After all the CETs last year, I have dreamt of passing Ateneo but imagined myself going to UP. That dream I had never came true and honestly, that made me bitter because I just couldn't accept the fact that many deserving people passed and many UNdeserving people incredibly passed as well. I know that for other people, I may be one of those 'undeserving people', too; and it's just really unfortunate for me to not be able to be included in the list of 'undeserving people who passed'. Since there was nothing I could do about it and wouldn't want to force myself into an institution who could not offer a slot to me, I let all the bitterness pass. Goodbye Ateneo, I have never known you. The next week came and I came to school seeing ecstatic batchmates. Hey, hey! UPCAT results came out. Here I felt most terrified thinking of possible results since I didn't make it in the great A. And you know the rest of the events. Days passed and here comes a result again. Now, from UST. And wow, that was truly an ego boost for me. I passed both my choices. Degree programs which UST is known for and degree programs that people often choose but people also often fail to be qualified. I may have not shown it but I was happy and I looked forward to going to UST but you know what happened.

I am not going to UST Nursing, I'm going to UP though there were a lot of times when I thought of going to UST Nursing instead. There was even an instance wherein I was already about to confirm my slot there because I was blinded just by the thought of the monetary benefits I'd have if I'd go to UST Nursing. But I'm not sure if I'd be happy with all those monetary benefits I'd be having if ever. And I do not want to be confined in UST's high school-ish society. I feel that if I'd go there, it's like not leaving high school at all. I won't grow there. I need to be in somewhere where I could do a lot of things; where I would be part of the real society. That's why I chose to be in there.

You know what's weird? I'm not happy about it. I am not really happy. I don't know why. :( I'm even more excited for my DLSU friends who'll be already stepping to college this May. I wonder how I would feel on my first day on college. There are questions in my mind like what will I wear? how will I make friends? will I get along well with the opposite sex because I'm from an all-girl school? will there be 'introduce yourself' sessions in the class? Too many questions, only one day will answer. I just hope it'll work out fine. I wonder how difficult my academics will be. I just hope I'd be able to manage all with a little bit of extra-curricular. College is for real so there's no sense playing because if I'd do that, I'll be dead.

I have not done anything productive yet. In May I will. I will be teaching Korean Brent kids grammar in English. Those kids are the children of my grandaunt's Korean tenant in Ayala Alabang. Their past English teacher which is a Filipina by the way, borrowed 200,000 pesos from them and never came back that's why they asked my mom to refer an English grammar teacher who is trustworthy. I asked my mom how much would be the rate for each session and the rate is overly great. So why not? Haha. I suppose they know a little bit English naman because those kids are studying at Brent International School. International school, baby! They won't survive there not knowing English. Haha. My mom said she has met the kids and she told me that they're pretty fine and they just really need to work on their grammar and pronunciation.

I'll be 5-figures richer than all of you guys! 55,555. Haha. :)

HAPPY FREAKING BIRTHDAY MAXIROSE BERNARDINO ENRIQUEZ! LOVE YOU. :)
