Here We Go Again... :)

Hi, everyone! My last post was the first day of 2012. And hello, it's the third quarter of 2013 already. Due to a lot of things I was not able to continue my blogging skill? appetite? aura?.. Ok, just blogging. Well, since the start of 2012 a lot of things has changed...

One, would be mid-2012, I had another change of roommate. But for that time, it was already permanent. My long time and ever sleeping-over friend, Andie officially became my roommate. Along with herself and her stuff, the dorm was merrier? We had a lot of good times in that dorm. (I'm not saying that I didn't have good times with my past roommates but yeah, this one kinda defined the "good times".)

Two, October, I met the person that would be now my almost 9-months boyfriend (2 more days.. :'> ). He is Rei, from being the ever close, always together boyfriend/girlfriend, we turned into the LDR status for 4 months now. I'm not ranting, I'm actually happy that even if it's LDR and that we are not together physically for months now, we are still together. And I believe stronger, we had a lot of ups and downs (God, define a lot) but yeah we still are in it, we are working and in it for the long haul.

Three, November, celebrated my 21st birthday with my love. After my birthday, we celebrated our 1st Monthsary. And on the birthday of my father was the day he actually also met my love. It was a really happy November for me. One Sweet November indeed. :'>

Three, December, I went to Singapore and Malaysia with my family for the holidays. It was fun, but yeah, most of the time, I was sick. haha literally, the aircon in our room plus the usual heat of Singapore: not really a good combination. This made me sick, had colds and frequent attack of headache but yeah, all went well. :) Celebrated New Year at Universal Studios Singapore. And well, all I can say is, from what I saw, fireworks here in the Philippines is better. I mean, considering it's already USS and still MOA got waaay better fireworks during Fridays. hehe

Four, January, 2013. The first weekend I got back from the vacation, I spent it with my love. He gave me a necklace with a heart pendant. And I gave him a scarf to keep him warm during his voyages and stays on different cold climate countries. This month was also the month I got to introduce him formally to my paternal side of the family. I'm just really happy because I got a warm welcome for my love.

Five, February, First Valentine's day with my love. He gave me quite a handful of things. And that's when also we kind of started a countdown for his first international voyage. It was hard to think and anticipate for that time to come. But of course, I, we had to face it. We promised to be strong and to never give up no matter what. And true, no one is giving up and we both are strong.

Six, March. Second of March was the dreadful day of saying goodbye temporarily to my love. I went to NAIA to be with him for the last time in months. It was hard but we had to face it and just be strong for it.

Seven, April. April 19 was my graduation day, and although I wanted everyone there including my love, I know it was impossible. I kept on dreaming and dreaming and wishing that somehow and some way, that Rei would actually appear on my graduation day as a surprise but of course it did not happen. Even though that didn't happen, for so long, I have seen my family physically complete for one of the biggest days of my life. This one was big for me and really feels good. For a few hours, my family was physically complete again. :)

Eight, May and June. These months are all about my review and the board exam. One month of review at Tagaytay and June 2 and 3, I took the NLE.

Nine, July. This month, at the first week of this month, I'm officially cleared at the Step 2 to being a fully recognized Registered Nurse. I could not still affix the title to my name since, I am not officially registered yet. But soon, soon I will. :) This month is also a celebration of my 9th month of being together with my love, Rei. Plus, it's also his birth month! So yeah, got his gift already, and I'm totally excited to give it to him already. :D

Sorry for the loooooooooong post. That is already the summary of the time lost on my blogging.

Tata :)

Throwing Caps in the Air

As much as I wanted to do the action of my blog entry title here, I wasn't able to. We weren't allowed. I guess it's only on movies (or on the photo below) that I see this happening. :-/

Anyway...

Hurray to the fresh graduates!
You're done with the studying chapter of your life! (unless, you're gonna go for MA/MS).
It's time for job huntings and job interviews. Good luck! You're now facing the real world. :)

As for me, I am 2 slash 2 1/2 years away from my own graduation in college.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Earlier I saw our box of photos and went through it. And I found my own graduation photos. Hehe. It's fun reliving the moments of my graduations. I've gone through 2 graduations, Grade School and High School. And here are my photos. :) Be the judge of the differences/similarities between the present me and the past me. Hehe. :)

HS Grad

GS Grad

I know it's kinda late for a grad-congratulation post. But hey, I still feel it, and it's not really late for the Seniors in my univ. They are partially graduated, hehe, they've graduated clinically, but on the 26th or the 27th they will have their academic graduation. For tradition, I guess. And in two years slash two and a half years time, I will be the one marching the aisle and the stage to get my own diploma. :)

Till then, I will have to go through a lot of lectures, a lot of clinical duties and a lot of requirements plus a thesis to defend. Ooohh, challenges! :D :P

Para! MOA lang po.

Basically, this is the second of our escapades to Mall of Asia. We went there without asking permission from our parents. We're dormers anyway, and sometimes "...but what she (mom) don't know won't hurt her..." that's according to Jadyn Maria's song hehe. The best part was, this happened on a night we were supposed to be studying for our qualifying exam. But fun was way more fun than studying in our dorms. ;)

We went their because of the Earth Hour 2011. My friend wanted to celebrate it there and with a candlelit dinner (which didn't happen...sorry dear). So basically, we went there to celebrate the switching off of lights for one hour and of course to have fun! :D

We were just there at the rotunda grounds, watching people sway their candle sticks in the air and listen to a soothing-voiced female singer. I saw Marc Nelson (faint) and Rovilson Fernandez, who hosted the event very well. Just the voice would kill what more of their faces and wohoho bodies. LOL I wanted to shout "Take yer shirt off!" if it hadn't been that embarrassing and well, scandalous; too bad no pictures of them. :(

I also got the chance to see Gretchen Malalad, the reporter from ABS-CBN. I also saw how it is done, just a minute or less of reporting and it takes at least 3 takes so it'd be nice looking on TV. Funny thing was people project when the camera swings by their direction, I and my friends are hiding from it not because of embarrassment but because of we might be seen by our parents. Haha Remember? We're all sneak outs, hehe. 

Gretchen Malalad reporting

After the Earth Hour we went back inside the mall to eat dinner at Friday's. Nothing much at Friday's just the usual us, stories here, banter there. 

the genormous burger my friends ordered

After Friday's they bought Starbucks and we went home. Two of our friends are kinda wanted at their respective places already. At the van, still the fun continued and then subsided until everyone is sorta sleepy. I'd like to posts some of the photos of people asleep but they might kill me for letting the world see. Haha

A lot more stories in between but it would bore you if I iterate each one so I guess this is all for now folks!

Till the next chapter of my life as a college student. :)
