heard it from the Chipettes

Can you blame me if I find it so schmexy how they sang it? " three little birds, sat on my window, and they told me I don't need to worry". It making my body groove to the beat. On the other hand Corinne Bailey Rae (original) version was good too, methink the 'squeky' effect of the girls were just so awesome. OLALALALA...


Bring out teh' girl power yo'.

WOAHW that was nice

I feel like Iem' obliged to say this. uhm. Rob Reiner is just awesome. Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, too. The Bucket list movie left me teary eyed for some sort of reason I cannot well define. One of the best movie made in the decade.

It inspired me to make my own list, UCH.  to make more out of life. To see the world in its bigger view.  " You only live once, but if you live it right once is enough" as it goes, triggers the eagerness in me to go out of my personal bubble and let myself experience the life it self. adventures, challenges, dramas, fun, failures, success and whatnot.

Quite pressuring though to get the ends meet but nothing is impossible in an optimistic mind person. right? I mean, It's my list, it's my own choices, it's all about me to get it done. 

Above it all, I am nothing but psyched to have my own bucket list and even more excited to do it and have it completed. 2011 maybe my calmest year as I set it to be, but in 2012, I wanna be out there with the storm and rockin' the waves. bring it on. mwuagsz

PS: I'll share it once done (the list).

melancholy

To begin with, the original title would be "what's up NMAT" nothing special. I just want rhyming. But everything turns down and theres is no other way that I can turn it up. get me? sure you do :)


I don't wanna feel like all ghetto but the exam result were quite upsetting that I cannot help myself not to be really upset. Like the song goes, " I did my best, but I guess my best wasn't good enough", I felt ashamed for myself for thinking what I gave was my bestest when in fact I didn't give any much effort on my review.


I will not tell you what did I get 'cos its way too shameful to share via intrawebs. I'd rather keep it unnoticed under my racks. I have prepared myself not to expect so high 'cos I know my limits but I have never prepared myself to get that so low I'll even would've drown myself. just imagine. try try to imagine and put yourself on my shoes, you'll be upset. Assurance guaranteed.


I've been dreading myself for the past two months about this whole THING but I guess all those time I'm not even starting preparing myself for this whole new journey Iem' going to ride into and sometimes it makes me think that Iem' only doing all this to escape from the bitter reality, workstuff speaking. Guess mom was right, as always. 


Avoiding bed epiphanies are much better but at this time when Iem' pressure and about I just cannot ignore it just like that. Sometimes it leads me to some more sensible epiphanies that'll end up to the start of something that sometimes means a good beginning. But, really, insights are much better to come in the morning.  Mch more tolerable that way. 


BTW, to those who are planning to take up NMAT exams:


- it is given every april and december every year.
- filing of application is two months before the test via online. just visit the cem.com or simply google NMAT. Some instructions were given on the site.
- after all the payments were settled, check the what to bring during exam, check your room assignment and school (release two weeks before the day) and what not.


review: 


- I don't go to a review center, I just borrowed a compiled reviewer from a friend who's now in his first year of medicine. Some other says that MSA review materials were way too leveled-up. IDK since I haven't had the chance to scan some MSA nmat reviewers.  
- highschool (chem&physics) books are bible they say too. So, you might want to pull the dusty boxes out under your bed.


the exam:


- bring food (optional) just to save you time and energy. Exam starts at 8am (be there atleast 6am to save you from the hassles- there will be a long line before you can enter your assigned bldg-) and finish at 11am. break is for 1 hr & 30 m before the part two of the exam begins.
- one pencil is enough just bring sharpener though.
- candies, water, gatorade and stuff are permitted. 
- exam will finish at 3:30/ 4:00 pm depends on what time you've started.
- computation are at peak in mathematics (stating the obvious), but nothing much on chemistry and physics. no calculators allowed, FYI.


I know Iem' not the right person to be talkinh this to you well y'know , but I just wanna give the newbie takers some insights about NMAT. Hope it'll help.


Iem' planning to take up again on April 2012, and hopefully in God's willing I'll give it a kick. God bless us all.

lollygagging

How I miss to write about senseless things. But, even though how hard I try to drag myself to hit the keyboard to come-up with something to write I always ended up clicking the red button.


Today, I am sick. And the snot factory is very well productive in my system. The lazybone is growing rapidly in me. And this, this, this HMN thing (guilty as charge) is the one responsible for all the laziness in my head. YOSH. no cravings = no energy. iDunno if my hypothesis were right though.

Bruno Mars sings in my head 'cos Today I don't feel like doing anything I just wanna lay in my bed Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone 'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything.. I'd love to live with that for now, and I wish everyday without getting tired.

XOXO. ♥

waddup

Too busy for words, NMAT exam are in four days time. Reviewers still stack on the rack without any hint that it was already read (y'know- uncrampled pages, no highlights present- simply, clean and neat). And guess what, I'm going to be a zombie for tonight so I can finish my online review materials. yess, its in plural form. MEH. how can I finish all this stuff and whatnot. temme' temme' temme' now 'cos Iem' dying to know.


And I thought I'd share to you waddup with me tonight (sssshhhhh....don't get scared, It won't bite but it can kill'ya in no time) It might be overrated but just a lil' bit, but literally speaking, yes it really can. what more if I already started medicine? brutal. way too much.

On a lighter note, my guardian angel keep me company tonight and shaggy buddy sings in my head. I'm quite relaxes by the 'jukebox'.

this weekend

Two things I've been psyched about to happen this weekend. mmm, actually three. The two were actually kind of good, well, the one is not really good. safe tosaay, it's 50% good and 50% bad and the other one is taking the helloutofme, totally badddddddd. YOSH

the goodygoodgood thing, Firing!

I am not a fun of guns and I got irritated with the awful bang sounds, but its a whole new experience for me and I am so excited

ready B(eckham)?

The news alone that he's coming was way beyond a good thing. But,  what makes it not so good is that I can not able to watch it. so bad. really badddddd. Iem' not good at though-stopping technQ, but for this Iem' really trying my best not to think about it (but guess i'm not succeeding).

THIS is what Iem' dreading myself about fot the last two months

The NMAT exam

If you have read my previous blogs, you'll know that I've decided to take up medicine next year and not continue the cop thing

and the exam is one of the rqmnts
This is not a pass or fail exam, but I need to get a high percentage of atleast 65% to qualify for the school I am applying for. hmmm. dreadful

how i hoped it to be done

[photo source: google images]

All are but a new experiences for me. It makes me exzited but at the same time dreadful but I think its natural to feel that way. It's the 'first-time' experiences typical feeling. 

I can't wait for it to be done. The good, not-so-good, and not very good. I wanna free my mind atleast this yuletide season from the weight that it pulls me down, down, down there. I can't help myself not to binge just to have a piece of mind for a sec. OMIGOSHHHHH THISIZ WUTT!!??? anxiety. killing me.

Just this year, I've discovered my fancy for football. Iem' secretly smitten Stephan Schrock (now not a secret)and well who doesn't, David Beckham. Oh how Iem' dying myself to see him up-close for real.


I got psyched upon hearing the news that David B. will be coming to the Philippines for some exhibition game with the Philippine Azkals on December 03, 2011 at Rizal Stadium. how lucky can they get? I wanna watch, but the ticket is quite expensive just to what I expected but it's reasonable though. Hello, it's Beckham. the nummy Beck-HAM!!! LOLJK

moderate anxiety

To be a doctor was my childhood dream. A dream that never come to mind I would pursue. All that was happened, happening and will happen: NMAT review, NMAT exam, not pursuing the copjob thing, bummerments are, but a product of my snap decision, realization and whatnot. 

photo source: weheartit

I clearly remember, when I was still in my sophomore year that Iem' all excited to graduate and work abroad. A typical mindset of a nursing student. But, as time goes by, as I didn't notice that Iem' starting to enjoy my college life that I wished it would last longer than four-years.

Mixed emotions I feel when the school President handed me my diploma. Happy 'cos the sufferings intended for a student already has its booming fruits, but not to mention the upcoming review for the nursing licensure exam. much more suffering is needed. And, Sad 'cos firstly, I'll be separated with my friends and classmates with whom I spent my everyday with for the last four-years of my college life, secondly, IDK what life awaits me as I enter the more mature part of life. I realized that, Life is not all play. 

five months and counting, as I graduated from college. still no work. How Iem' dreading myself to have work before, and now, when all the opportunities are around, I get stuck and feel lost. 

fast forward,

two years of my life in a bummer mode is such a waste of time. I mean, too many things should've been done in that span of time. But then, in some of my bed epiphanies, where certain life decisions and whatnot happened, that I think its not a waste at all. 'cos during those times that I discovered more of a positive side of myself that I believe wouldn't be possible if I study medicine right after I jumped out of college. yes, its too much realization and sometimes it still overwhelms me. 

Iem' fully decided to pursue medicine next year that is why I'm dying myself to understand mathematics/chemistry/physics and other sciences needed for the exam which is very very hard since I took those up six years ago. MEH.

I know myself, I never been this dedicated, panic and sure all my life except the NLE review days, its too different, its a life changing experienced. That's all my positivity gained back and refresh. where work and play and pray all balanced. It been my basic foundation for the upcoming difficulties I may encounter.

About the exams, 

University of the East Medschool topping my list which is why Iem' aiming for atleast 65% total average score on NMAT. seconded by San Beda medschool.  IDK if I can make it but God willing it will.

hearttalk,

Iem' considering San Beda Med school because of the lesser adjustment I'll make since I studied my pre-med in the institution. UE had me for a practical reason that it is at top 3 medical school in the Philippines. Iem' kind of confused. HHAAALLLLPPPPP!

unlucky

Starbucks is turning into a living Santa Claus. Firstly, my mom, now, my cousin got a free latte from S'bucks, in less than a month time from moms. what about me? nvrmind. haha. Iem' prettyhappy with water hydrating my cells. bitter. LOLJK


just thought I'd share,

This is what I do most in my free time. write or stuff. Iem' just taking my 30-min break from studying but I never noticed the time that (or, I just play pretend not to notice 'cos stating the obvious, Iem' in front of my laptop and the time is just at the upper right corner of the screen which I can resort to everytime. HAA) it turned out to be a 2-hrsz break.MEH. How ironic that time slows down when you're bored and fasten when you're enjoying. kbye! it's time to feed my brain, teh' zombabies will gonna' eat em' up a bit.

somebody

[by: Dianne Yvernee A. Tayona]


Somebody who I love secretly
Somebody I admire deeply
Somebody I care for a lot
And, Somebody with a loving touch


Hope this somebody knew me
Hope he also cares for me
Dreamin' of this somebody to love me
but I know he has another somebody


How could I let this somebody know
this feeling that I cannot show
How can I make him realize
this feeling I'm keeping inside


Dreaming of the moment with my somebody
but for him I am just a nobody
knowing the fact that He doesn't like me
still, he'll always be my special somebody


I have been inlove with this poem the first time I read it. It was made by my cousin (Dianne)for her pupplylove and Iem' somewhat can relate myself to it. HAHA. bring back highschool kilig days. 

Alex by Christian

OMIGOOSH. I definitely want this!!! It's weird, it's furry and I love it. Just in time for the breaking dawn movie. It may do though its patterned from bear-feet??? More look like from wild-dogs. HEE #goteamjacob. But in reality I go for Edward!:)

Here is the video of the announcement of the 7 unofficial list of new natural wonders of the world. Will be confirmed early of 2012.





Still, I couldn't hide my excitement. I know, PPC will make it to the new 7 natural wonders of the world official list. I've witnessed the beauty of Puerto Princesa's subterranean river thrice, and still ended up myself amazed when just merely looking at the pictures thru intraweb. How those stones are form, blahblahblah.  I couldn't get anymore proud of my hometown even it's not yet confirmed. Making it on a probationary list was already an achievement.


Though I'd share to you my Underground river experienced,


My first visit was 1999, when Underground river was just hit by a storm. The corals were scattered to pieces at the seashore and most shells died and washed on the shore. But, the Beauty still shines.


second, was in 2001. The river recovered from its traumatizing past. no more dead corals and shells. The water is all blue and clear. and,


third, 2009.

Should you apply to medical school? Is a career as a doctor for you? Sure there are lots of pluses to being a doctor, first and foremost the prestige - you get to be called "Doctor" and everyone knows that you're the best of the best because not only did you get into medical school, but you finished. But there it takes more to succeed in medical school than simply a desire to be called "Doctor." Is medical school and a career in medicine for you?

• Are you prepared to consistently keep long hours?

• Can you manage high levels of stress over a long period? Exam-related stress? Saving-live-related stress?

• Are you prepared to deal with the potential for malpractice suits? Do you know how much malpractice insurance costs and who will be responsible for it when you are a practicing physician?

• Do you have the motivation to remain dedicated over years of education and training?

• Can you afford tuition? Living expenses? Note that education debt will likely run well over $100,000 and often to $200,000 for medical school alone, not including any debt related to obtaining an undergraduate degree.

• Are you prepared to sacrifice the time, sleep, and social life needed to succeed?

• Do you love science?

• Are you squeamish?

• Can you afford the time? You likely will not graduate medical school until 26-27 years of age, assuming that you enter straight out of college. Then you will enter three years of internship and residency. After residency, some doctors focus on a particular specialty. Plan on continuing your training well into your 30s.

Know what you're getting into. Medical school (and residency) isn't like Grey's Anatomy. You will work hard - lots of studying, long hours, and often it will not be fun. A career as a doctor can be exhausting, stressful, and yet amazingly rewarding. If you have a strong desire to learn medical science, as well as to help, as well as academic, social, and organizational skills, a career in medicine might be for you. 

(source: is medical school for you?)

...

The prestige to be called a Doctor was one of my many reasons why I wanted to pursue Medicine. During one of my bed epiphanies, Iem' imagining myself as a full pledge Doctor, giving my service to those in need, stressing myself over them. In exchange to the exhausting day-to-day scenario is the euphoric feeling it gives you when you hear the word Dra. attached before your name.


But, as I dig deeper thru my feelings, the wow factor of being called a "Doctor" is just a part of a reward for being patience with the patients for giving one's most time to give and meet their needs. 


Yes, the career I've chosen to enter was exhausting and stressful. But, yes, it is also amazingly rewarding. This day and age I surely say, Being a Doctor is a childhood dream that I wanna fulfill. Not just because of the prestigious name attached to the package but the passion burning inside to help others. Iem' willing to treat patients (really needy) without expecting in return, thats how passionate Iem'. 


Currently, Iem' dreading myself whether which school I am going to spend the next 4 or 5 years of my life. I am thinking of UE 'cos its my dream school plus they have own hospital. Iem' also considering Beda 'cos of lesser adjustments I'm going to make since I studied my pre-med in the same institution. myyyyyyyy
