CHARTED: Nursing Week '08

We celebrated Nursing Week this past 19 November until 21 November 2008. It was good. Yeah, good. Haha. It wasn't my week, personally, so yeah. I'd rank it as good. Maybe...6.7924/10 (Hey, at least if you round that off, it becomes a 7/10!). Haha. But really. NOT. MY. WEEK. :|

Anyway, it actually started on Monday, the 17th. We had a procession around the university in honor of St. Elizabeth of Hungary. Then there was a mass at the Santissimo Rosario Church. I got to spend the mass with HIM.Yeah, we sat together. I was squished--he was too darn big. Haha. I was actually reminiscing at some point in the mass. About what? Hmm. About...stuff. Haha. I won't say na, basta it had something to do with freshman year. Haha. Hmm.

After the mass, we went to watch this really...er, informative video about St. Elizabeth. Then *dum roll, please!* DUTY!. Well, actually, we didn't have duty. Haha. But we were supposed to. We met our C.I. right after the mass and she told us, "Attend the film viewing, then meet me at the faculty or near the computer lab. May meeting lang ang faculty for a while." So that's what we did. We watched, then we stood outside theComputer Lab at 12noon (walang tao sa faculty). By 1 PM, she still hadn't met with us. She didn't even send us a message to say what we were supposed to do. At around 1.30 PM, we had gotten tired of standing so we sat at the pav. Finally she came out of the computer lab and saw us. And she was shocked to see us there! She was like, "Oh, kanina pa ba ninyo ako hinihintay? Go home na, okay? Ingat kayo." Pfft. Yeah, what a way to start the week. Haha.

Tuesday wasn't any better. I had the morning off since we had duty in the afternoon. So I texted HIM and asked if he wanted to meet up. HE was like, "Nah. May rehearsals kami for pageant." Awww. :'( Oh well. I don't remember what I did to while away the time, basta I did stuff. Then duty. New week, new patient.Grabe, duty was...I don't even know how to describe it. Basta. It was...hmph! Haha.

Then there was WEDNESDAY! Hooray! Haha. It was Yellow Day. Everyone wore yellow--well, everyone except Ate Kae (who wore black!) and HIM (goodness, he wore the uniform!). Apparently, HIM didn't get read the message about the yellow shirt. Poor kid. We were supposed to spend the morning together, before the Dean Bacala Memorial Lecture but Roch and Clang dragged him off to be their kargador. Haha. Okay lang, kasi I got to watch Nursing Idol. Joyce L was the best! Woo hoo! She does Celine Dion better than Celine Dion. Haha.

After the lecture, I had lunch with Myles and Jake. Yep, the Three Musketeers. Kasi si Friend walang friends, kaya kinuha niya yung friends namin.Poor kid. Haay nako. Go get your own friends! Hmph! Ayun tuloy, kaming tatlo lang. We ate at Manong Pepe's. Hehe. Then there was the symposium about organ transplantation. The first two speakers were great fun to listen to, they didn't make the entire thing too boring. But then, gawd, the third speaker! Ugh. I'll say it na kasi walang gusto magsabi. LAME. Haha! Yeah, I'm mean, I know. XP

Then, the highlight of Wednesday--the Mr.and Ms. Ideal Thomasian Nursing Personality! Woot woot! Yeah! Haha. Grabe, we waited in line for like, an hour. Then people cut through our line, and everyone started pushing their way to the doors. Basta, that was behavior I didn't expect from Nursing students. As in no manners, no concern for others. No anything! Grabe. (Siyempre bitter ako kasi ako yung tinutulak--ako yung maliit eh!). Anyhoo, we got good seats naman. Like, maybe six rows from the stage. But we were six, and three seats lang. So we had to share. HIS parents were like, in the row in front of me! Dear God, I thought I would die. Haha. The pageant started. Ang galing mag-voice over ni EDJO! Woo hoo! Anyway, I won't get into detail. Basta, he won two awards:

The Sponsor's Award: Mr. Choco Lava (Baby, hindi pa sinasabi yung name mo, I KNEW you were going to win this one! Haha!).
The Mr. Friendship Award. Well, he always made yabang about being the noisy one in the group and being the guy who brought the group closer. Whatev, dude.

So there. He got into the TOP FIVE! Yay! Nung coronation of winners na, and his name wasn't called for first and second runners-up, I thought he was going to win. Grabe talaga. I was shaking, kasi I really thought, He's gonna be Mr. Nursing. He's gonna be our bet for the Ideal Thomasian Personality. But he didn't win. The crown went to Bob. Yeah, Bob. Haha. But Bob's a nice guy. I met him. He's sorta shy, and quiet. And polite. I had my picture taken with him, and he was like, "Thank you po." My God, he used "po." Dear, I'm just a year older. Hehe.

The pageant finished late. I think it was almost 11 PM. Which meant I was out of the dorm way, way past curfew. I crashed at my friend's place for the night. Ugh. The things I do for YOU!

Grabe, a note to all the girls out there. Don't ever let your guys join Mr. Whatever, or the basketball varsity or any other school event. If you do, you end up experiencing the same things I did (all in just 24 hours):
1. You get squished in the line for the pageant.
2. You end up having the most uncomfortable seat while watching the pageant.
3. You get locked out of your dorm.
4. You have to lower your pride and ask a friend if you can crash over at her place.
5. You have to walk through the scary España overpass.
6. You won't be able to sleep because you have your contact lens on and your case is in your dorm room.
7. You rush back to your dorm at 5:45 in the morning to get ready for your class attendance at 7 AM.

So there. Then Thursday and Friday, lots of events as well. There was From-D2: The Detour. Super funny ng faculty! The best si Sir Gian, and his "Breakaway" music video. And who knew Jollibee could perform CPR? Ang galing! Haha!

There was also Mr. Sexy Body! Fit All Right. My crush was there. Ahem, ahem. Haha. So funny, nung crush ko na yung papasok sa room, I had my hand on HIS arm. I held on to him tight, pero nanggigigil talaga ako kasi makikita ko na si Crush. And HE was toughening his arm para ma-feel ko biceps niya! Really, he was trying to let me know he's got muscles too. Sure, sweetie--very nice try, pero I like Crush's physique more. Haha. Ouch, ba? Oops. :P

We got to spend Thursday evening together. We were supposed to have dinner together, but I told HIM that we should just help out sa float-making for the parade the next day. When we were walking out of the school to buy some materials, I told him, "See? Masaya kaya tumulong sa float! It's like High School Musical--the first one, with Troy and Gabriella in detention with Darbus." And then humirit na naman siya, "Eh ayoko pa rin nito."

I thought he was gonna say ayaw niya kasi he wanted us to have dinner for two. Instead he said, "Hindi ka pa rin kumakanta nung 'TROOOOOOY!'" Haha. Weren't we over that na? :)

FRIDAY. I joined the procession...er, parade. Then we watched House Bunny. Then I went home na. Haha. I was pissed off nung Friday eh. It capped off a pretty weird week for me. Much to enjoy, but much to feel sad about din. Haha. But yeah, I'm focusing on the fun, fun, fun stuff. :P
