No Strings Attached. ♥

Recently watched No Strings Attached and here are my favorite lines/scenes/quotes from the movie. :D

When Emma was leaving Adam’s house..

Adam: Hey, you know this is never gonna work.

Emma: Why not?

Adam: Because clearly you’re gonna fall in love with me.

Emma: Oh, really? Well, then we just do this until one of us feels something more and then we stop.

Adam: Well it won’t be me.

Emma: It won’t be me.

[he kisses her]

Adam: Good luck with that.

When Emma was having her monthly period, and Adam suddenly went to their crib to deliver some cupcakes and a surprise CD. :) 

Adam: Oh, I understand what’s going on. You’re all on the same cycle. This is very exciting. Your uterine walls will be shedding for the next three to five days.

Shira: Nice memorization. Did you Google that?

Adam: I may have. Because you’re women. And I think that’s a beautiful thing.

Patrice: It’s like a crime scene in my pants.

 

[Adam takes out a CD and presents it to Emma and her friends.]

Adam: Oh, I also made you this.

[hands the CD to Emma]

Adam: To help soothe your womb.

[reading the CD songs]

Patrice: It’s a mix! “Even Flow." “Red, Red Wine."

Shira: "Sunday Bloody Sunday"?

Emma: Adam, did you make me a period mix?

Guy: That’s so romantic!

Patrice: Frank Sinatra, “I’ve Got the World on a String"!

Emma: Oh!

Adam: That’s a classic. 

SWEEEEEEET! <3 ッ

On the evening of Adam’s birthday, his dad invited him to dinner—-to think that dad is having an affair with his ex-girlfriend. >_< Emma goes with him.

Emma: This isn’t really my place. I mean, who am I? I just have sex with your son sometimes. But…

Adam: Yes, she does.

Emma: But, there is really no reason for you to bring a child into this world since you’re acting like children already.

Vanessa: That’s really mean.

Emma: Yeah, I’m mean. But you’re fucking crazy. Cause given the choice between Adam and his dad, given the choice between Adam and anyone really, I’d choose Adam, everytime.

[to Adam]

Emma: Do you wanna get out of here?

Adam: Yeah. Fuck this.

[they get up to leave]

Emma: Oh, by the way. It’s the best sex of my life.

[yells to Alvin and Vanessa as they walk out of the restaurant]

Emma: Great Scott! ッ

HAHA. Thiiiiiiziis one of my favorite scenes. :))

♥

Adam: Go on a date with me.

Emma: [laughing] You’re heavily sedated. 

Adam: Come on, it’s…it’s one date. Just do it.

Emma: Why? So I can wear make up and act perfect all night?

Adam: Yeah. I’ll pick you up and we can talk about our favorite books and our favorite TV shows and I’ll pay for everything. And you can reward me with an over the jeans cock rub. Like a real date.

Emma: Is that what you really want?

Adam: This Friday.

Emma: This Friday is Valentine’s Day.

Adam: Yeah.

Emma: No.

Adam: Go big or go home. They’ll be hearts and maybe some flowers. One date.

Emma: Fine.

Adam: What?

Emma: I’ll go on a date with you.

Emma: I made you a Valentine’s Day card.

Adam: What?

[takes the card looks at it and laughs]

Adam: It’s perfect. Will you read it for me? Is that weird?

[Emma takes the card back and reads it]

Emma: You give me premature ventricular contractions.

Adam: I’m assuming that’s a good thing. ♥

Emma: You make my heart skip a beat.

Adam: Aww.

Emma: Don’t make fun of me! 

Adam: Wow!

[during their Valentine’s Day date]

Emma: I don’t get my own milkshake?

Adam: No, it’s one milkshake, two straws. That’s what makes it so special.

Emma: But I’m so hungry

Adam: We have dinner, later. Didn’t you read the itinerary?

Emma: You’re gonna get more shake you have a bigger mouth.

Adam: You have a pretty big mouth.

[Adam tries to show his feelings during their date]

Emma: I can’t do this. Could you please take me back to work?

Adam: No. No. That’s not the deal. The deal is that we’re gonna walk around and we’re gonna look at the twinkly lights and then…

Emma: Why are you messing everything up?

Adam: It’s what people do. I mean, they buy each other flowers and they go to museums and they don’t…

Emma: You know me. This stuff freaks me out. It’s fake. What’s wrong with what we were doing? It’s working, we don’t have to fight, we don’t have to…

Adam: Maybe I wanna fight.

Emma: Yeah, well. I don’t!

Adam: What are you gonna do? You’re just…you’re never gonna feel anything? How are you gonna do that?

Emma: I don’t know. I’ll figure it out.

Adam: You’re so messed up.

Emma: Yeah? I don’t need you to take care of me, I take care of myself. That’s what I do. 

Emma: Why don’t you go find some other girl who’s not gonna hurt you?

Adam: Because I love you.

[suddenly Emma starts hitting and pushing him]

Adam: It’s obvious. I completely love you! There! 

[she continues to hit and push him]

Adam: Oh! You’re such a wimp!

Emma: I am not a wimp.

Adam: Well then be with me! 

[she continues to push and hit him]

Adam: Okay, you’re gonna fight me. Is that…you’re gonna fight. You can’t fight me, you’re miniature. You’re like a girl Rick Moranis. You fight like a hamster.

♥

Emma: I can’t stop thinking about him.

Katie: Who? Adam?

Emma: Yeah. I know it’s over and I’m looking, it’s just no one is as…

Katie: Tall.

Emma: He’s so tall.

Katie: So tall.

Emma: And he’s so like…

Katie: Happy.

Emma: Annoyingly happy all the time. But he has this…he has the best heart.

♥

[Emma calls Adam whilst he’s at his show opening party]

Adam: Hello?

Emma: Hi. It’s Emma Kurtzman from Camp Weehawken.

Adam: Yes. What is it?

Emma: So my sister’s getting married in Santa Barbara tomorrow and uh…I don’t know. I heard your show was tonight. Uh…congratulations.

Adam: Thank you.

Emma: I know this is random. I just, um…I miss you. I miss you so much.

Adam: Okay. I don’t know what to say. You’re…you’re calling me because you’re at your sister’s wedding and she looks happy and everyone is happy and you’re not.

Emma: I thought…I don’t know what I thought. I just…I…I guess I wanted to hear your voice. I mean, I know we broke up but…

Adam: Emma. We didn’t break up. We never started. I gotta go um…I’m still at work, so. Uh…have fun at the wedding and tell your sister congratulations. Bye.

[he hangs up]

Emma: Oh, fuck!

[Emma looks at Katie]

Emma: I have to…

Katie: Go.

Emma: Now!

[Adam call Emma as he’s leaving the hospital after seeing his dad]

Adam: Hey, you can’t call me and tell me that you miss me. I don’t wanna have that conversation on the phone. So you can’t text me and you can’t e-mail me and you can’t write on my wall. Like, if you really miss me, you need to grow up and get in your car and come and see me. 

[Emma get out of her car which is parked outside the hospital]

Emma: I’m here.

Adam: How…how did you know that…?

Emma: Shira texted me about your dad, so I came here.

♥ 

Emma: I know I just can’t call you.

Adam: No, you can’t.

Emma: I know. I hurt you, I’m sorry. I don’t know why I wasted so much time pretending I didn’t care. I guess I just didn’t wanna feel like this. It hurts.

[she starts crying]

Emma: But I love you. I’m totally completely and in love with you and I don’t care if you think it’s too late, I’m telling you anyway.

[Adam just stares at her]

Emma: Will you please say something?

Adam: Wait. You should know, if you come any closer, I’m not letting you go.

she takes a step closer and he suddenly grabs her and kisses her.

Emma: I love you.

Adam: That’s good.

[they kiss again]

♥

Emma: Wanna go with me to this stupid thing.

Adam: Your sister’s wedding thing?

[Emma nods her head]

Adam: And how long do we have to be there?

Emma: A couple of hours. What do you wanna do?

Adam: Something crazy.

♥

[as they are eating a large breakfast at a diner]

Adam: Wow! Now I know why you never wanna have breakfast with me.

Emma: What?

Adam: You eat like a baby dinosaur. You don’t even chew. 

Emma: You think you can get used to it?

Adam: Yeah, I think so.

Emma: Good. I was hoping we could do this a lot more.

Adam: Really?

Emma: Mmhmm.

Adam: You know, I was thinking we’re gonna have to come up with some new rules. I’d like to start calling you ‘honey’ and ‘babe’.

Emma: I don’t know about ‘babe’.

Adam: No?

Emma: Hmm.

Adam: Snuggling?

Emma: Oh, yeah. I think we’ll just hang in.

Adam: Wow! This is all moving so fast.

Emma: Also, I…I’d like to leave the door open when I pee.

Adam: I think, no.

Emma: I think I’m gonna do it all the time. It’s gonna get weird.

[last lines before credits; as they arrive just in time for Katie’s wedding]

Emma: So what happens now?

[he takes hold of her hand]

SOMETIMES, A FLING CAN LEAD TO THE REAL THING. ♥  :)

Oh, those little things.

When you start to like someone, even if you deny it, your overall perspective of them gradually changes. You try to pick out the things that you like about them and the pay attention good qualities that they have instead of the bad, and you have this tendency to  overlook their flaws and shortcomings. Right?

You start to notice even the littlest things (the simplest details of their clothes doesn’t go unnoticed, the way they smile, the way they flip their hair, the way they fidget on their seats, their mannerisms, or even the way they call your name start to become a constant sound in your ears). Those little conversations or the petty fights start to take part in your daily activities, that you find yourself enjoying those moments. 

You find yourself having a re-run of the moments you have together, wanting more of those moments. And sometimes, you even start wanting to include them in your plans about the future. 

Just by hearing their names makes your heart beat a little faster than it normally does, and make you feel like there are butterflies in your stomach. 

No matter what opinion that others may have on them, and no matter what imperfections they have, you accept them as they are, knowing that nobody is perfect and that these little things are part of the overall reason why you start liking them in the first place. That these little things add up to their total personality and for the time being, they will be the best out of everybody.

It’s like, the more you like them, the better looking they get. :)

Test-Taking Strategies. ツ

Ayun. Nag-start na din ang Enhancement/Review Classes namin ngayong second semester in prep for the Boards next year. Yung feeling na nakaka-excite na nakakatakot na nakakamotivate? Alam niyo yun? Mixed emotions lang ang peg. Basta kasi ganun. Nakakaexcite kasi onting panahon na lang ggraduate na kami, nakakatakot kasi sabi nga nila, “You’ll be facing the real world" na, mas mahirap na, pero nakakamotivate kasi halos lahat ng nasa paligid mo e optimistic sa lahat ng bagay. Mas nakakagana pumasok araw-araw, mas nakakainspire mag-aral pa ng mabuti.  

Anyway, share ko lang yung natutunan ko sa topic namin ngayong araw sa enhancement, for future reference and sana makatulong din sa iba na makakabasa nito. :) 

TEST-TAKING SKILLS/ STRATEGIES.



My version of what I have learned last Friday. I hope this helps. 
Applicable to multiple-choice questions.

✔ WORD OF THE DAY: “REWORD!"
★ Formulate the question in your own words! 

You have to always remember the word, “REWORD". No matter how long the question is, you have to read it from the first to the very last word—do not skim or read to quickly. (Because, admit it or not, we all have the tendency to skim and read quickly once we see a loooong question, isn’t it?)

★ Eliminate only what you think is WRONG.

Stay focused on the REWORDed question and not on the background info. Usually, pag multiple choice question, maganda yung strategy na elimination. After mo basahin yung question, isa-isahin mo naman yung choices. For example, habang binabasa mo yung letter A na choice, i-cover mo yung B, C and D. After reading letter A, you have to decide whether to eliminate it if it’s wrong or leave it as a choice. And then, if ever you decide to eliminate it, WAG MO NA BALIKAN. If you know for yourself that the one you eliminated is a wrong answer, resist the impulse to go over it again.

★ DON’T predict answers upon reading the question!

While reading the question, prevent yourself from predicting answers even before finishing. Kasi may tendency tayo na habang binabasa palang yung question, may naf-formulate na agad na sagot sa isip natin (knowingly or unknowingly). What if may na-formulate ka ng sagot pagkatapos mo basahin yung tanong, pero pagtingin mo sa choices, wala naman dun yung na-predict mo? Malilito ka lang. 

★ If clueless about what the question is really asking for, take a deep breath. Don’t panic. Read answer choices to get clues.

Minsan, may mga tanong talaga na tricky kung baga. Yung tipong kahit ilang ulit mo ng basahin e halos clueless ka pa sa kung ano ba talaga yung hinahanap. Sa hinaba-haba pa ng question, hindi mo makuha kung ano ba talaga yung hinahanap at ang tendency mo is mag-skip ka nalang sa tanong na yun. Noooo. Never skip a question.  Resist the impulse to read and re-read the question. Mas matatagalan ka lang. Instead, you can look up the choices and maybe get some clues there. Once na makakuha ka na ng clues, then go back to REWORDING the question using the clues.

So there, sana makatulong din sa mga makakabasa neto. ツ

A nice story. :)

There was this quiz given to 200 applicants applying for a job. The situation was like this:

You’re driving a car in a wild, stormy night, you passed by a bus stop where you saw 3 people waiting..

1. An old lady who’s about to die
2. An old friend who once saved your life
3. The perfect mate that you’ve been dreaming of

Who would you choose? Knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car?

The answer of the one who was hired:

I’ll give my car keys to my old friend and let him/her take the old woman to the hospital. Then, I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the person that I’ve been dreaming of. :)

Awweee. :"> Nice catch. :D Goodevening!

Basic Life Support Training [Late Post] :)

I know this might be a very late post about the training last week, but still..
The Basic Life Support Training (October 8-12, 2012) had been a great experience for me. From the first to the very last day, I have learned a lot, not only intellectually, but also physically and emotionally as well. Despite the body and muscle pains, wet/dirty look, bloody look, waking up early for 5 straight days, 7am call time, push-ups, punishments as consequences for being late, all the pains were worth it.  I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything in the world. The past week was definitely one of the highlights for this year and my whole college life. This training has trained us not only to be disciplined responders but also made us realize the value of time, cooperation, team work, and how to be flexible responders in times of emergency.



I’d take this opportunity to write down this appreciation post for all the things I realized and appreciated for the past week.

• First, thank you to sir Garry for making the training possible. Excited na kami nun even before October. Thank you po, along with the other trainors (Sir  Llana, sir Ross, sir Joyce, Mam Lanie, Sir Kisam, and sa iba po) for your support and patience during the week. You never fail to motivate us to do more, to try things we haven’t even tried doing, to always give our best and what it takes to perform well in emergencies. From Bandaging, CPR to Extrication to Planning and Responding to a Mass Casualty Incident to Rappelling—for the overall experience. Once in a lifetime po yun and we will be forever thankful for that.

• OTZU Group—- BEST TEAM EVAAAAAAH! :D

Sobrang na-appreciate ko ang group namin for this past week. Nakilala ko yung mga kabatch ko na dati sa mukha ko lang kilala, nagawa kong itry yung mga bagay na akala ko dati hindi ko kaya, na-experience namin ang best teamwork thru thick and thin.

Para sa ‘best leader’ daw, si Rajjie, thank you kasi ang gaya ng sabi ni Jewel, ang galing galing mo mag lift ng spirit, hindi mo pinapabayaan ang OTZUTin- Thank you sa headquarters natin last week. Hehe. :D Parang camp lang natin nun yung CSC office. :P Thank you kasi kahit alam ko pagod na pagod ka na on certain days last week, still, you always have that smiling look on your face sa tuwing may itatanong ako.Faye- Thank you sa pang-aasar after nung Hard MCI! Haha!:P But srsly, thank you kase isa ka sa mga nagpapatawa sa group natin, kayo nina Kaye at Bruce.

Roughly, these are what I get to experience this past week that I know I will miss after my grad on April. :( :

• Experienced an exercise on Mass Casualty Incident, where I acted as a patient on our first try on Soft MCI. :D
• Danced in front of the whole 4^thyear. Haha. Wala ng hiya hiya.
• GROUP 8- BEST TEAM EVAAAAAAAAH. :)
• CPR and kissing buddies. In just a matter of a few hours, my first, second, third and fourth kisses are gone. Haha! First kiss: adult dummy, Second kiss: infant dummy, Third kiss: child dummy, fourth kiss: adult dummy again. XD

• Planning for Mass Casualty Incident

• Tried and experienced rapelling. Practice at first. But it was hella scaaary too, though it’s just on the stairs of our grandstand.

• Got to experience being a patient on a mass casualty incident. This time, hard MCI already. And the situation was bombing. :D Cooooool. I got to experience having a stabbed/penetrated wound on my left shoulder + eviscerated wound on stomach + open wound on forehead..—-The props for the blood are so coooooool, they looked almost the same as real blood. :/

A trillion of thanks wouldn’t be enough to show how much we are thankful to have you as our mentors. indeed, a teacher affects eternity, for they never know how much influence they can impart on a student. kudos sir! :)


(Not all of the pics are mine. Photos credits of some pictures  to Sir Garry)

It’s not always the mind that DOES decide, right? Sometimes, some things are really not meant to happen. Some people are really not destined to remain by your side for as long as you want them to. People forget. Things change. Feelings change. Memories fade. 

You just have to wait and see what tomorrow has in store for you. 

Don’t forget this : "The more time you spend with the wrong people actually means that you get lesser time away from the right ones." Remember. No matter how unfair this world is, there are still people who will end up sticking with you no matter what.

So, choosing now on who you’ll keep and who you’ll let go is never too late. Who knows? What you experience now might just be a rehearsal for a subsequent event in the future…

If I Had You.

Now reading (AGAIN): IF I HAD YOU by Lyn Kurland. :) 

(One of my favorite novels, been reading this for 4 times already, but I never get tired reading most of the lines. :D) 

Why he was so bloody nervous was something he couldn’t answer. It wasn’t as if he were seeking an audience with the queen. This was merely Anne of Fenwyck, the pale-haired girl who had grown to maturity in his home, who had been so painfully shy that he’d hardly noticed her. He groaned as he slammed the hall door shut behind him. When had he become such a liar?—Robin de Piaget, (If I Had You by Lyn Kurland)

Looks can be deceiving.

Being beautiful/handsome doesn’t give a person any right to act like a bitch/jerk.

So what if you’ve got the looks that could launch a thousand ships? So what if you’ve got the smile that everyone would fall for? It does not give you any right to disrespect others and act as if you’re mighty awesome. That everyone would heed to your every want. That you can go around telling stories behind other people’s backs. 

You can call yourself good-looking, but looks is not the only thing that matters. At the end of the day, you’ll have to remember that in time, looks will fade; but your attitude towards other people and the way you’ve made them feel will always be remembered. 

You can fool others with your smile. You can act nice in front of others. 

BUT YOU CAN NEVER DECEIVE ME.

Goodbyes are hard. It maybe harder for the person LEAVING, but it is always the hardest for the one who's LEFT BEHIND.

S-O-R-R-Y

Sorry.

One of the overused and misused word in the dictionary. Why?

• Because it gives the impression that with this single word, everything will be fine. 
• That one word can erase what you have done, what you have said, how you made them feel. as if it’s as easy as counting 1,2,3. 
• That SORRY is like a magic word?
• That saying sorry could make everything go back to the way it was before? 
• That sorry is enough to wash away the pain?

How come people think that one SORRY could fix everything? Fvck. That’s why people think that they can use the word SORRY ever so lightly and so easily. That’s why the true essence of saying SORRY is slowly fading; the reason why, people who don’t value the true meaning of forgiveness repeat the same mistakes all over again. It doesn’t even change the fact that something has changed and that saying sorry is just a move to make it seem like you regret what happened.

But whatever the situation may be, you should always think before you act, think before you speak, before its too late.

Remember, it takes time to build someone’s trust—but a few seconds to ruin it, not even SORRY could be an assurance as to whether trust would ever be granted to you again. 

Everyone wants to find that someone…

Everyone wants to find that someone…

• someone who will prove to you that not all person are like the ones you’ve met on the past
• who will stay
• who will take you seriously 
• someone who will never leave you hanging
• someone who will appreciate you

You know what? At some point in your life, you’ve probably met THAT someone, who’s willing to be the person you mentioned above-- but you probably haven’t noticed. Why? Because you’re too busy trying to get the attention of another person. Because, admit it or not, even from the start, you already made an ideal figure as to what qualities your special someone would have, that’s why even if there’s someone out there doing his/her best to try to let you notice, you wouldn’t even notice their feelings. And it all goes down to this single line, “We accept the love we think we deserve.”

That’s what usually happens, right? Think of it this way, somebody likes you but you don’t feel the same way for that person, nothing feels right and you just can’t find within yourself the courage to accept the love that person is offering you because a tiny part in your mind tells you that you deserve another. You think you deserve the love of someone else, most probably the one you like, right? That’s why you ignore him/her. Whatever effort he/she exerts, you don’t notice, or maybe you’ve noticed, but you were busy trying to get the attention of another person that’s why you were not moved by his/her gestures. But don’t you realize that what you are doing is just the same as to what he/she is doing? You try your hardest just to be noticed by the one you like/love. Because you think that it’s their love that you deserve. Sometimes we confuse love with being addicted to the exquisite pain of wanting someone so unattainable.


Don’t wait too long. Because waiting is never really an assurance. It’s only a chance..

Waiting is never an assurance as to whether you two are going to end up together. You think that by waiting, you actually get a bigger chance of ending up with him/her? Maybe yes. But for the most of it, waiting only means that you are being given the chance to wait for that person to realize whether or not he/she would learn to feel the same way as you feel for them.  If you always wait, you might end up alone, waiting for that someone who won’t even notice you, when in fact, you can create a happy ending and be with that person who actually cares.

College Tips for Freshmen and students alike.

First day namin bukas. May pasok na naman. Haha. Pero excited na din ako. Last year ko na din kasi ‘to as a college student kaya sasagarin ko na. Haha. (Gah. I feel so old. >_< Meehee.)

Magsh-share na din ako ng sa tingin ko pwedeng tips for incoming freshmen and students alike.

•  Masaya sa college, pramis! Syempre bagong environment, bagong mga tao, bagong experience, halos bago karamihan. Kaya wag ka matakot magpakatotoo sa sarili mo, everyone respects individuallity in college.Mas meenjoy mo ang college life mo pag ganun.

• TIME-MANAGEMENT Sa college, matututunan mong madami kayong free time pag 1st and 2nd year niyo. Nasa sayo yan kung san mo gagamitin ang free time mo. Pwedeng sa leisure o kaya sa pag-aaral. Pero mas mabuti na 1st year palang, e marunong ka na sa time management. Kasi pagdating ng 3rd at 4th year, jan na yung halos karamihan ng major subjects niyo, at kung hindi ka marunong ng time management, ikaw din yung kawawa. Mahirap ang mag-cramming. Wala ding magandang resulta pag nagc-cramming ka. Pwede ka namang magsaya, basta ba alam mo kung pano gamitin ang oras mo. :)


• Don’t be afraid to try something new. Wag kang matakot mag-try ng bago ngayong college. Wag masyado maging mahiyain. Sa college, pinili mo kung ano yung gusto mong course, kung ano yung sa tingin mo e mag e-excel ka, yung sa tingin mo may talent ka sa field na yun. Kaya dapat wag mo sayangin. Sayang naman kung hindi mo ie-explore and abilities, talents, and skills mo ngayong college diba? 


• Be friendly. :) Masaya kapag madami kang kaibigan. Kaso minsan nakakainis lang na tatawagin at ile-label ka pang FC e nakikipagkaibigan ka lang naman. Sakin, pabayaan mo nalang yung mga taong ganun, madami pa naman jang pwede mong maging kaibigan e. Sa college madami ang makikilala mo at kadalasan, sila yung mga magiging kaibigan mo for the longest time. :)  It pays to be friendly kung yung mga makikilala mo e yung mga totoong kaibigan. 


• ADJUSTMENT. Pagpasok mo ng college, for sure madaming bago jan. Bagong experience, bagong kaibigan, bagong school, bagong environment, at kung ano-ano pang bago,  kaya sa una, mahirap talaga ang mag-adjust. Di tulad sa high school, sa college iba ang schedule, minsan may 1-2 hours kayong vacant bago ang next subject, palipat-lipat ng classrooms, paiba-ibang kaklase sa bawat subject at paiba-iba ding buildings. Pero unti-unti, masasanay ka din. 


• College is a continuation of what you have learned in elementary and high school.
  Kung tutuusin, last stage ng pag-aaral sa buhay estudyante ang college (kung wala kang balak mag-masteral at doctoral degree). Lahat ng natutunan mo nung elementary at high school ka e magagamit mo din naman ngayong college, kasi back to basics din lang sa una. Tulad sa subjects, minor subjects ang Math, English, Filipino at PE. Pero unang-una sa lahat, wag mong kalilimutan ang subject na tinuro na satin ng ating mga magulang simula pa nung bata pa tayo, GMRC (Good Manners and Right Conduct). Matanda na tayo, alam na natin ang tama at mali. Sa college, bihira na tayo pagsasabihan ng mga profs natin kung ano ang dapat at hindi dapat gawin kaya dapat, we should be responsible enough for our every action. Sabi nga nila, respect begets respect. Di ba?


• INDEPENDENCE. Ngayong college ka na, mararamdaman mo na ang independent life. Hindi katulad nung elementary at high school na maaga pa ang curfew at madami-dami pa ang bawal, ngayong college eh mababawasan na siguro ang bawal at curfews mo. Pero tandaan lang na sa independence na binibigay satin ng parents natin, kasabay niyan ang pagiging responsible sa lahat ng gagawin natin. May tiwala ang parents natin sa atin kaya binigyan tayo ng independence, kaya dapat lang gamitin natin sa tama. Nasa sayo din naman yan e. 


• SMILE! :) Be confident. Wag mong kakalimutang ngumiti. Ma-re-realize mo na madaming reason para ngumiti ka ngayong college. Madaming excitements at bagong experience pa ang maf-feel mo. Simula palang yan! :)

Sige, sana makatulong tong tips ko sainyo. :)

Goodluck sa mga freshmen students na magsisimula palang ng college life! Enjoy! :)

Goodluck din sa last year namin in college. :D 

I WANT TO BE YOUR FAVORITE HELLO AND YOUR HARDEST GOODBYE. :)

DAY 1: FIVE WAYS TO WIN YOUR HEART

FIVE WAYS TO WIN MY HEART:

• Prove to me that you’re not just any other guy.
• Say what you mean. Mean what you say. Simple as that.
• You don’t have to pretend to be the best at anything for me to like you as a person; being yourself would do. Just show me who you really are.
• Someone who remembers even the tiniest details.
• Someone who would exert effort in getting to know my family and my friends. :)

How is it that when you love someone, you let them go, thinking that if they love you, they’ll  eventually come back no matter how many times you let them go? What is the purpose of it? To see if they care enough to wait for you? To let yourself sort out your feelings? 

But what about their feelings?

The thing is, what you fail to see is that they may not come back, thinking that you don’t love them for the very reason that you let them go.

Not exactly the biggest lie I’ve ever told but one I consider to have caused a change in my life. It all goes down on me denying my feelings back then for a certain person.  I should’ve fought for my feelings back then.  I should’ve told that person what I really felt, and not hold back because of the feint possibility of hurting someone—-but in the end, I was the one who got hurt during the process. 

I should’ve told you sooner. I should’ve believed you when you told me you actually care—instead of doubting that I have always been your second choice.

I missed you. I MISS YOU.

I missed you. I MISS YOU.

But it got to a point when missing you made me numb, waiting for you to return to what you were before.

• When you weren’t able to read that first published write-up, it’s okay. You say you’re just busy. I understand.—Only to find out that you’ve read and re-read that letter you got from someone you consider special. Am I not that special to you, too? L
• When you start distancing away from me, I tried to understand. We’re both busy; we don’t have the same schedules. It’s okay.
• When you forgot to tell me the current happenings in your life;it’s okay.
  
  I tried to understand. 
  Maybe you’re still not that eager to share.
• When you started to drift away from me, I tried to understand.
• When you don’t text me anymore to ask for my opinions on things, I tried to understand. I see you have new friends to share thoughts with.

I was hurt all those time but you didn’t see.

Maybe you've heard. But you haven’t listened.

Maybe you've seen it; but you haven’t paid attention. :(

Now, I’m starting to be a different person.

And when I start to find new friends to share thoughts with.

I hope you’ll understand.

Don’t settle for less than what you deserve.

Don’t settle for less than what you deserve. Why waste time for someone who isn’t even sure of their feelings for you?If they really wanted to, they would’ve tried to show it to you, instead of letting you wait—without even any hint of assurance. They should have been brave enough and told you what they actually feel. If they really wanted to, they could have turned those emotions into actual decisions.

They should’ve done something.

But the fact that they can’t actually come up with a decision, and you waiting for them over and over again is probably enough of a reminder to let you know that you can’t just live your whole life waiting for that someone.

It’s tiring.

Sooner or later, you’ll gonna realize that you are just hurting yourself in the process of waiting.

Don’t waste your time on someone who doesn’t know what he/she wants. With billions of people roaming around this world, it’s not impossible to find someone out there who knows what they actually want—- that someone, brave enough to act on their emotions and turn them into actual decisions.

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." :)

I should have posted this last Thursday but my sched at school didn’t allow me, so now I’m posting this. :D

Belated happy birthday to me. Lol. I’m officially 20. Not that anyone cares anyway. :)) I just felt like sharing the happiness I felt as I add another year to my 19 years of existence. Goodbye to -teen years. Haha. [Though I can say that I’m officially TWEN-TEEN. :)) ]My teen years have been pretty awesome—full of ups and downs, but definitely filled with lots of memories that I’ll be remembering for the rest of my life. Cheers to being an adult now! :DD

A big thanks to those of you who remembered my birthday. Those who greeted me thru text/Tumblr/Facebook/Twitter/Wordpress/Formpspring, and most specially, those who have greeted me personally. A simple greeting was more than enough to make my day. :) I may not be able to list you and thank you here one by one ‘coz it’ll take a lot of space. :P but it’s touching knowing that these people remembered and took a little time and effort to greet me on that special day. Your messages and inspiring words really mean a lot to me. I really really appreciated it! Thank you!!! :)

Top 5 reasons why you should consider dating a nurse:

hellyeahkurt:

1.  They can be the best cure for hangover and the most adorable first-aid provider in town.

          Are you going to date a nurse? Well, I’m gonna throw all my worries and stresses away if I were you. No need to fret hangover because an expert will be on your side and ready to give you effective ways to get over it. Of course, your dear nurse will know first hand that coffee is not the best cure for it so you better be passive and play the patient role. Furthermore, if you or someone on the other table accidentally choke during your date, your dear nurse is so ready for the adrenaline rush that he/she will be done doing Heimlich maneuver after a few seconds. You don’t need to fear for other spur-of-the-moment incidents because you have your own nurse ready as hell for anything that might come your way. Remember, nurses didn’t get those first aid certifications for nothing.

2. You won’t hear “Eeeewww”  when they see blood or disgusting body fluids.

          For a well-exposed nurse, blood and pus are common place that they already think of squirting blood as something boring. Show your wounded blood to a non-nurse person and she will be nauseated; show it to your nurse-lover and you will have your wounds cleaned and dressed like its a work of art. They are always on the go and open for new and exciting things so if ever you have a broken heart, feel free to approach a nurse and he/she will mend it for you like its the most special emergency case.

3. They wont be disgusted by your toilet habits.

          You don’t have to pretend to be Mr. or Ms. Perfect when you love a nurse. Believe me, they’ve seen all imperfections that a typical human being has to offer; name it, a nurse has encountered it. You can even fart while with a nurse and she will just answer it with a smile. A nurse looks at a person as a whole and provide holistic care despite that person’s flaws and bad habits. A good nurse is a nurse  that is not judgmental so if you are dating one, just be yourself.

4. They can be your own personal Google/medical dictionary.

          Dating and loving a nurse has a lot of advantages and one of these is the fact that if you’re lost with medical terms mentioned in Grey’s Anatomy, confused with what’s written on your doctor’s prescription, or in a serious search for the definition of Hirschsprung’s disease, you don’t need to look any further because your own nurse is willing to answer almost all your medical questions as detailed as possible. Of course, they don’t know everything but at least it will save you a serious amount of time.

5. They are great listeners and counselors.

          Nurses are not robots programmed only to give medications and assist doctors; they are compassionate people ready to talk to every patient regarding their situation and give some pieces of advice that are vital for their swift recovery. Just so you know, this is what nurses call as “therapeutic relationship”. The good news is that if you love or dating a nurse, you already have your own personal confidante, friend, and counselor ready to catch you every time you fall. It might sound so cheesy but nurses have all the qualifications to take care of your heart and emotions. They are willing to give parts of their selves to people they really love and care about. If they can do it to their patients, there is no reason for your nurse not to willingly do it for you.
