Love, Nothingness and Everything Else
May 29, 2011Unforgettable Moments of 2007
January: Letting go, moving on and starting to find myself again. Putting an end to some stupid relationship.
February: Totally crushing on a classmate. I’d always share my kilig moments with Cilby and Marshie.
March: Falling for a writer. March was so full of drama.
April: Getting to surf the net all day, all summer, doing digital art and somehow getting sort of discovered – my works caught some attention at DeviantART and I was given a three-month premium account by some random person over there.
May: Got my Canon Powershot A570 IS! ^_^
June: My 17th birthday wasn’t that memorable.
July: Big Bro/Big Sis and Lil Bro/Lil Sis – 2007 College of Nursing Acquaintance Party! It was July 6 when I first met Janer through that Big Bro & Big Sis activity. RC is my uncle/classmate/best friend, super close kami. We were looking for our
big bro/sis. Then RC told me nga kilala nya na kuno ang big sis ko, close kuno sila sng big bro nya, and they said upod nlang kuno kami 4 mag pa picture sa SM City. So we met up that Saturday. Du mga buang kami, labutaw ko dan, si RC dw
gaga2 man, super labutaw pa gd si Big Sis ko Manang Bo kag si Manong Janer. Friendship!
August: Nursing Fun Days, I guess. Got to be musical this time. Ena and I won first place in the vocal duet contest of the Nursing Pop Idols event, off to represent the college for U-week. And another thing: I met Manong Francis through Friendster and we went out one day to get to know each other. Friends kmi subong eh. Upod man kmi sa Nursing Pop Idols, contestant man xa. Click kami sa music kag kantahanay. Haha. Lastly, August 29: Janer asked for my number.
September: Aside from those dreadful return demonstrations… Oh mehn, September is the best! This month (autumn ni xa in other countries?) was so full of unforgettable moments! Simple moments lg gd pro super happy gd ko sa times nga to. I was sort of crushing on Jan Ree na. Sort of lang ha. September 1: Night Shift 6! I was super happy coz I got to talk to my sort of crush pag Night Shift. As in talk to the max gd ya. Upod kmi ni Christine Marie. And I found out pa that night nga he was awesome at painting. Gosh. The following week txtanay kmi ni Janer. Du binuang gd ya ke Smart xa, Globe ko ya. Hay naku kagasto. See! Wahaha.. Then one Saturday after ka return demo ko, he gave me a drawing, laminated pa. Ma recall ko pa gni nga nagtext xa nga wait ya ko kuno sa 2nd floor. Nka red to xa. Tapos na lecture nila. Nag talk pa gd kmi sa lobby. Kag ang drawing gd ya! Oh, teh! Anu natabo sa heart ko bay? Smash. Ang sort of crush naging super crush. September 21: Gin updan ya ko bakal Ampicillin. I met him sa canteen to give him The Alchemist which he was gonna borrow. I said, “Lakat ko anay Nong, bakal ko Ampicillin.” He asked, “Ma gwa ka?” I said yes. Hmbal ya, “Ta!” Upod kmi dayun gwa, ginapayungan ya ko ke nag ulan pag gwa namun canteen, la ko ndala paying ko. We went to a drugstore and got Ampicillin. Then went back sa school. I thought gd ya nag upod xa pagwa ke mpuli xa. Ayteh. Gin updan ya lang ko bakal den balik naman kmi school. Hahay. September 22: He gave me a bar of chocolate bisan joke ko mn lang ang pag pabakal ko cia the day before. He gave me another drawing. Then I had two slices of choco-strawberry mousse that day, hatag ni Mama earlier, she said i-share ko lng kuno. So I shared the cake with Janer. We had cake and coffee sa canteen that rainy afternoon. After that we went to QH, nag sturya2 lang, then gin dul-ong ya ko puli. September 28: Upod kmi watch Patches of Art, cultural presentation sng PESCAR pag PE Day. After the show we ate at Jollibee. And he walked me home. It was raining and we were under one umbrella. September 30: We went to attend mass at St. Clement’s together. What can I say? Grabe heartbeat ko pag “Our Father”.
October: Return demonstrations in Nursing again. And yet, the best man ni, continuation pa sng moments from September. After my return demos, we’d usually see each other and he’d walk me home, carrying my really heavy yellow green jelly bag containing all my paraphernalia. Lol. October was the time when I really wondered what we were, what was going on between us, if it’s love, if I’m in love. Confused and falling. I think this month was also the time when we went photo shooting cats, the sky at dusk, more cats, and more skies at dusk – all at the Nursing Student Center at school. The finished pieces were awesome, and I have him to thank that for.
November: Community Health Nursing! Bonding with Lola and Lolo at Brgy, Camangay, Leganes. Mikki was a great partner! We had the exact same black Penshoppe backpack pa ha! The CHN experience was so fun, and we got a good grade for our Family Assessment. Go, go!
December: *Speechless* The first time I ever went stargazing with someone in an open field was on December 6 at CPU. Fireworks. Stars. Moments. Love. Effort pa ha! Nagkadto gd ko bisan may post test sa Patho and Pharma the next day (December 7)! And the day after that, December 8, turning point! How can I not love you? Tell him that the sun and moon rise in his eyes! Hesitate no more! What a perfect way to end the year 2007.
So fill the year 2008 and the years to come with beautiful moments worth remembering. Live like it’s the last moon rising.
Anyway, this was inspired by Mikki’s blog entry of the same theme. She says she’s determined to slim down this 2008. I, on the other hand, am determined to gain weight! Whoa.
So let me start on the Unforgettable Moments of 2008:
January: Case Pre! The grand case presentation (January was on my patient. The day before that was when I really cried for the first time in a long time coz I had to do a lot, and I mean A LOT. From writing the Nursing Process to typing all of it, making the Powerpoint presentation, going to a far-away place (specifically Pavia) looking for an overhead projector and ending up providing one for the class (because the BIG problem there was that there were no more projectors at school available for us, all were reserved). With that in my mind, they told me to have my case pre printed on acetate – something which I would never ever do since I knew I couldn’t finish all of it by 10 PM which is the time when the only acetate-printing computer center Acclaim closes. And the grand case pre was at 7 the next day! Oh sheesh! What could I have done? I had to PROVIDE a stupid overhead projector so we could use that PowerPoint presentation I was doing. I had to buy a stupid connector for the projector that cost PhP1000. The experience was terrible. Imagine staying up late in front of my computer just to finish that damned Nursing Care Plan coz they wanted more, more, more. And suddenly the power goes out. WTH?!? Brownout! So I cried again! The day before our Grand Case Presentation was when I cried and prayed a lot. I only had two hours of sleep. We were to be there by 7AM. If Tating didn’t call my landline, I would’ve been super late. Guess what time I woke up? 6:55 AM. I panicked. Took a really quick bath, got dressed in my uniform, didn’t eat, and walked fast to school. Good thing the clinical instructors were a little late so I got there ahead of them. Thank GOD I survived!
February: the 13th, Dinner at Krua Thai with my Dad, his best friend Tito Juancho, and Tito Juancho’s daughter Jcile who is my childhood best friend. Why memorable? I loved the food at Krua Thai and ate FIVE plates of fried rice, chicken with cashew, prawns and more fried rice. I had ordered bottomless iced tea, btw.
And that’s about it. The year 2008 will rock! At least that’s what I hope for. As I always say, err, sing, live like it’s the last moon rising. Scream just like no one’s there. Lose all of my defenses. Love like it’s the very last moment in time.
