I’d actually hate you if I didn’t like you too much.

Closing Time for Beginners
Status: Sometimes I’m the friendly, sometimes I’m the sociopath. I like talking to people and I hate people at the same time. Your mixed signals make me dizzy. It’s a good thing we don’t have to study that much (yet) this (last) semester or my immune system would have given up. I’m looking forward to studying hard (very very very hard) the next few months. Why am I...

This week on lalaland #3
TODAY. My feet hurts like hell, like I’ve been on community walk for the past five days (when really all we did was watch movies, ride taxis, talk about socially uncomfortable topics and hang out in NB 203 for our social hygiene clinic duty) and like I’ve been on ICU duty with nursing process and case presentation on the same week. I haven’t but we’ll get on that later. ...

This week on lalaland #2
Extra-academic stress and the spawn of Susie I’m just gonna rant for a while then I’m gonna shut up because I need to watch my weekly fix of The Vampire Diaries (streaming done!) and read my favorite magazine of all time, Nylon. I’m getting off track so here it is: We are doing our best for this seminar. This seminar is a culmination of whatever grit we have acquired in our...

This week on lalaland #1
Let’s do this in chronological order. If not for the Pap Smear, the live visual of the inner workings of the female reproductive tract, and the emotional and social burden the social hygiene clinic has brought to my otherwise carefree, unexposed 20-year-old brain, I don’t believe I went on duty this week at all. I’m not here to talk about my experience during our few hours of...

The superglue incident
Sometimes, I get so appalled by my own stupidity. I should say up front that I am never an artist. I’m just a pseudo-typographist with bibliophilic dreams. Still an hour away from an episode of Gossip Girl, I decided to (finally) place a marker in my planner since I am always scrambling to find which week it is. It was all going so well in our dinner table (since the light is brightest...

Starless nights
Days are approaching like rabid pitbulls and this time, I can’t even run. So here are the things I will have to do in order to face them, limb for limb. Note: Not in any particular order. (1) Survive this week’s social hygiene clinic duty with less trauma than expected (2) Desperate-move-February-pinky-swear (with Aien) (3) Seminar: contact violinist for solo or string quartet...
Faultlines
I don’t know what I’m supposed to talk about anymore. All I know is that the earthquake and its aftershocks are, if anything, adding more stress to the vulnerable shell of this graduating college student. My heart palpitates everytime I feel the Earth move. On the brighter side of things, I’m having more things in my to-do list crashed out. Eeee.

One of these days
Today is definitely one of those days where I feel so privileged to be exposed to a job like this, at an age like this. Sometimes, I can only get so weary, at twenty, that I have seen an abominable amount of misery come into the center of the Earth, of my earth. I have to admit that where I am now has made me so jaded and… anxious about several things that we cannot change. :) Meanwhile,...
