I am left-brained... or no brain left? (?) amp

Take the test! http://web.tickle.com/tests/brain/index_main.jsp

My result:

Keo, you are Left-brained

Most left-brained people like you feel at ease in situations requiring verbal ability, attention to detail, and linear, analytical ability. Whether you know it or not, you are a much stronger written communicator than many, able to get your ideas across better than others.

It's also likely that you are methodical and efficient at many things that you do. You could also be good at math, particularly algebra, which is based on very strict rules that make sense to your logical mind.

Reality is a b*tch

I miss the days when my biggest problems were passing my major subjects, completing tons of requirements on time, completing OR and DR cases, and passing the nursing board exams.

I've been forewarned, but it didn't help that much. What I am facing now is not what I have expected. Life's tough, especially as a nurse. You have to experience it before you could fully understand what I'm trying to say.

Everytime I'm walking on my way home, I keep on thinking that I could run away from all of this if I wanted to. But who ends up losing if I do?

It's just been two weeks from the start of my work, yet it feels like an eternity has passed.

Network wars

...are so stupid.

I'm so tired of hearing news about this and that, how one network accuses the other of doing something illegal to increase ratings.

WE DON'T F*CKING CARE!!!

Welcome to reality, b*tch

Reality is nowhere near being a student.

It has just been a week from the start of my work, but I've already experienced a lot of downs (and just a few ups). It's disappointing, demoralizing, and it's tearing me apart.

But I won't quit. It's not an option. I know I still have a lot to encounter -- things which might be a lot worse than what I have encountered already. They can put me down, but they won't be able to make me stay down.

UNLITXT80

Alam niyo ba...
  • bumalik na ang UNLITXT80 (at UNLITXT40) services ng Globe?
  • na kahit bumalik na ang UNLITXT80 at UNLITXT40 ay bulok pa rin ang Globe, tulad kaninang tanghali hanggang gabi kung kailan hindi ako makapag-send ng kahit anong message, kahit sa 222?

Nene

Excerpt from Recah Trinidad's column in PDI, entitled "Mislabeling remains the No. 1 Pinoy game", posted Jan. 7, 2008

"A sample case is that of Emperador Brandy.

With honest and proper labeling, can its producers, who continue to rake in millions, attest that the self-styled local brandy contains enough elements of healthy grapes?

Isn't it cheap cane alcohol masquerading as expensive grape brandy?

Isn't Emperador pure and simple bogus liquor, made to look superb and natural through false advertisement and shameless mislabeling?

Can Emperador Brandy pass the test of international vintners, away from the blind, selfish intervention of useless national trade department officials?"

****

Maybe that's the reason why when I sniff a bottle of Emperador, all I can smell is the same scent which emanates from a Green Cross ethyl alcohol bottle, and why it doesn't have any hint of grape in its flavor. I have stayed away from brandy every since I got very wasted way back because of Emperador. I have drunk Gran Matador recently -- I was very hesitant at first, since I hate brandy (because of Emperador) -- and I was surprised that it tasted different. I even liked it. The taste was sweet, the smell was sweet.

Nene, mukhang ika'y napariwara
Sa iyong buhay, wala kang magandang magawa
Ang iyong mga magulang, tunay na kaawa-awa
Wala silang alam sa iyong kinasapitan

Hahu

A: *nagkamali ng send ng text -- na-send kay B*
A: Sorry nagkamali ng send...
B: Ok lang haha...
A: Bakit ka tumatawa? Baliw!
B: O sige... Ok lang huhu...

Welcome aboard!

Magsisimula na ako sa Jan. 14! XD

****

Welcome aboard ulit... sa Ranger! Ranger, yung ride sa Global Fun Carnival na nagha-hang patiwarik! Nagawa ko na ring sumakay! Dati kasi, naging chicken ako. Pero masaya pala, lalo na yung nakabitin patiwarik sa loob ng 5 segundo kung saan nararamdaman kong ang mga paa ko ay hindi ko na magawang ilapat sa sahig!

Mas nakakatakot pa ang Wave Swinger (parang Flying Fiesta) sa Global Fun, lalo na yung naupuan ko kahapon, dahil nags-sway nang malakas pakaliwa't pakanan (di tulad nung isang linggo na hindi naman ako umiikot).

At hindi ko pa rin sinakyan ang Flipper -- baka hindi na ako makapag-drive pauwi.

Parang RPG -- The Quiapo Chronicles (?!)

Quiapo. Nagpunta ako dun upang hanapin ang Hidalgo, ang tinaguriang "mecca of photo enthusiasts". Kasama ko si Dustin (na multi-talented, sikat, at close kung kani-kanino) sa paghahanap nito. Parang RPG, kasi kinailangan naming kumausap ng iba't ibang mga tao at maka-akamplish (accomplish) ng kung anu-anong mga bagay bago maka-advance sa sunod na dapat gawin.

*bumaba ng jeep sa Quezon Blvd, at tinahak ang akala ko ay R. Hidalgo St., pero nalaman ko sa mapa (activated by the triangle button) na nasa Arlegui kami*

*tinahak ang kahabaan ng Hidalgo, hanggang sa umabot na ng Bilibid Viejo St. (na dulo na ng Hidalgo), kaso Fujifilm lang ang nakita naming nagtitinda ng camera*

*Dustin nagtanong sa isang pedicab driver*
Dustin: Saan po yung bilihan ng mga camera na malalaki dito sa Quiapo?
Pedicab driver: *natulala*
Dustin: Sabi po kasi, sa Hidalgo daw po maraming ganun.
Pedicab driver: Diretsuhin niyo lang yan [Hidalgo].

*bumalik kami sa pinanggalingan namin, at lumiko sa Elizondo St.*

*nilapitan si Dustin ng isang lalaki at [toot]*

Lalaki: Boss, [toot]?
Dustin: Hindi ho, hindi ho!
Lalaki: Ano ba hanap niyo?
Dustin: Camera ho.
Lalaki: Sige na, [toot] lang.
Dustin: Hindi ho talaga. Camera ho talaga hanap namin.
Lalaki: Yung kodak? Yung malaki? Diyan sa [tinuro ang Fujifilm] meron, pero mahal diyan. Sa may Plaza Miranda mura!
Dustin: Ah sige ho, salamat.

*nagtungo kami sa side na katapat ng Quiapo church, at may nakitang nagbebenta ng camera, at dumiretso pa ng lakad, hanggang sa wala nang nakita at napagod*

*nagtanong si Dustin sa gumagawa ng ID lace*
Dustin: Saan po ba yung bilihan ng mga malalaking camera dito?
Lalaki: Camera? Yung malaki? Yung may malaking lente? *nagpose na may hawak na camera*
Dustin: Oho.
Lalaki: Diretsuhin [southbound] niyo tong side na to, tapos sa may Mercury, tanong niyo sa mga vendor dun.
Dustin: Ah sige ho, salamat ho.

*nagtungo southbound, pero nilampasan namin ang Mercury [tanga!], hanggang sa makabalik sa Arlegui*

*nagtanong si Pawii sa isang bantay ng isang tindahan*
Pawii: Saan ho dito yung bilihan ng mga camera?
Babae: Diretsuhin [northbound] niyo lang to, sa may pangatlong kanto tanong niyo dun.
Pawii: @_@

*bumalik kami, pero hanggang Mercury na lang, at naisipan ni Dustin na magtanong sa security guard ng Mercury*
Dustin: Manong, saan ho dito ang bilihan ng mga camera?
Guard: Ah doon sa extension ng Hidalgo sa kabila! Dito kayo sa underpass dumaan, andun sa kabila, marami doon!
Dustin: Salamat ho!

*at natagpuan na namin ang nagtatagong mecca ng mga camera*

Kasi naman e, sabi sa mga online forums, sa Hidalgo daw, edi sa Hidalgo kami unang naghanap! Yun pala, nasa extension ng Hidalgo sa may likod ng Quiapo church! Doon malapit sa Carriedo! Sana nililinaw! Edi sana, hindi ako napaisip na "Isang malaking setup / frame up ito! Inuuto lang nila tayo, sinama pa Kamikazee [sa Myx D'yan Banda noong isang taon ay ipinakita rin ang Hidalgo at mga bilihan ng camera]! Tapos pag sumuko na tayo, lalabas sila at sasabihing "You've been punk'd / X'd / Yari ka!" "!

****

Bale Makati muna.

****

Tapos Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital. Magiging licensed IV therapist na ako (?).

****

Ayun, panghuli ang Quiapo.
