Last Night OPRAH's Show MAde Me MAD.

Last night at 8pm, I watched the OPRAH show, and last night's show was controversial. Entitled "WHAT CAN I DO?", the show revolved around personal reactions to different situations such as difference in religious standing, race, bullying, domestic violence and the like.

I was sprawled on my bed and staring at the tube watching how Americans reacted to these situations [ the situations were scripted and were role played by actors and actresses ] and at the back of my mind I was saying to myself "OMG, mukhang di ata kaya gawin yan ng isang pinoy!?!"...

Of all the situations though, it was the racist situation that truly bothered me.
It depicted a Muslim lady walking into a bakery where she was refused service. She was butchered with insulting words about being Muslim. She was told that it was her kind that started wars all over, that thy were all terrorists and should be shot dead. Her veil was even called "towel around your head"...

I do agree that there have been Muslim terrorists that have caused damage and pain but it doesn't mean that ALL of them are terrorists. I have Muslim friends who are pretty normal people. My mom's best friend is Muslim. So th question is, if you were in that particular situation, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?


notes:
Where do you draw the line between NORMAL and DIFFERENT?
Were we born to follow rigid rules - i.e. Muslims equals terrorists?
Were we given perfectly functional minds just to conform to society - USE IT!?
Will YOU stand up AND protest!?

Will YOU?
I would.

1st Sem GRADES :D

Okayy, So I've collected five of my class cards which leaves me three more to go then I can finally start with crappy enrollment. So far I have good grades. They aren't GREAT or anything but it's understandable since I so SUCK at nursing. But still, I am doing my best. The BEST-est *haha,grammatically incorrect* I've done in all these years I've spent studying. Anyway, the three remaining class cards that i'll be collecting on Wednesday will complete the list and I can sit back and relax till enrollment starts.

Enrollment week is MESSY at WMSU. Mental note to self, wear chucks. CHUCKS not my havies. You see, you walk around so much during enrollment. *habol dito habol doon* It would be like murdering your havies if you'd attempt to wear them druing enrollment. *tsktsktsk* Plus bring an umbrella. Lines get pretty long and it would be a shame getting unevenly tanned if you're unlucky and get stuck standing on the part of the line wher there's no shade. HAHA.

I hope that whoever enrolls with m will hold my umbrella for me. HAHA *crosses fingers*


~ will blog soon.

Finally.

Finally all my crappy finals are over.
Over Over Over.
My clearance is done. All I have to worry about are my grades and enrollment then I can have 1 week of relaxation. *weeeee*

~ will type a longer entry late ;]

Clearance. AnaPhysio Finals. Heat. = Major STRESS.

Gaaaaaaah!
I'm so tired. So much for sembreak.
I'm spending it running after people for clearance, hiding from people who want my signature for treasurer [MEANIE! haha], studying for AnaPhysio finals, answering AnaPhysio lab exercises... Plus th heat! OMG, where do I even start to describe the heat at school. I wish there were more trees [not the kind with sitiquero] like at my old school. Or maybe if it were more windy at school? Hmmmm.

Stress. Stress. Stress.
"Ang Buhay Nursing Ay Puno Ng STRESS"...

I must learn to live with it. HAHA.
Though I wish it wouldn't result to these nasty pimples on my cheeks. Argh!

Fights. Phone. Stolen Money.

October 11-15.

Had dozens of petty fights with classmates.
Got new phone.
Suffered loss of money during LIT Finals - role play.

Tired. Pimple outbreak. Eye bags.
Worrying about AnaPhysio Finals on Friday. :(


~ will get back to this as well...

Happy!?

Fixed my previous crappy layout. Love this new one. Very HAPPY with it. Has LINK-ables :)

It's really late and I know I must sleep but at the back of my head, something is rally bothering me.

*note to self: fix debut list of 18candles&roses. :s

LOVE - four letter word?

I currently have 300 quotes stored away under my "Quotations" folder on my mobile phone. Out of those 300 quotes at last 75% are LOVE quotes. LalalaLOVE. pfffft. I feel so many emotions as I'm am writing this. Love isn't only for couples/lovers. It is for friends, for barkadas, for classmates, for parents, for family, for your nasty Literature teacher, for your creepy next door neighbor, your bratty little sibling and even for your pets. But what confuses me are these mixed feelings I have about the emotion "LOVE".

I am bitter.
I am elated.
I am furious.
I am frantic.
I am confused.
I am contented.
I am sorry.
I am ecstatic.
I am happy.
I am unloved.
I am LOVED.

Thoughts on "boyfriend.girlfriend" Love :
I believe that LOVE is never about owning other people. It is not about publicly labeling your other half. You need not announce to the universe that you are dating. It is not about always being together or holding hands while you walk. It is not about what other people know - or do not know. It is not about the persistent questioning of "how far will you go to show you love me?" nor is it about the past or doubts. Love as I know it is simply a four letter word. You loose it. You have it. You take care of it. You neglect it. You are happy. You get hurt. These choices are within your reach. It is YOUR choice. Love will always be Love. It is up to you if you want it.

STITCHED~for a friend.

Little girl growing up in her aunts’ arms

Little girl crying, craving for a special warmth

How to explain to her that she’s not coming back?

How to tell her the cold hard facts?

Little girl’s growing up so fast

And she’s empty without memories of her early past

All that’s left are pictures that aren’t quite enough

Other people’s stories and leftover stuff

Old guitar, faded jeans, polaroid pictures galore

Yet she finds herself searching for something more

Dreams of a scent she used to smell

And the voice she longed to listen to well

Now she’s all grown up and faces problems each day

She stitches herself together with thin strands of gray

And tells herself not to cry

After all she doesn’t believe in eternal goodbyes.

Hell Week ~ History100

Okayy.
So I made a fool out of myself today but it was so totally worth it.
History finals down. Next up: Philosophy, Literature, AnaPhysio, H.Ethics & H.C. Theory... Urggh! The pains of a nursing student...

Hell Week.

It's been long since I last posted.
So much has happened this past few weeks.

First, hell week's next week. I've been doing a lot of cramming and trying to fit everything in. Especially all those last minute details by my teachers. They've been giving the class a lot of extra credit "projects" that are supposed to be "boosters" when it's time for the computation of grades. *philosophy,anatomy--sigh*

Second, I've been having personal issues with someone at school. It hurts, primarily because I thought she was a friend. I didn't expect her to be the first to be such a traitor. But maybe she doesn't see it the way I do. Maybe I'm over reacting... But... *double sigh*

Third, I look like sh*t. I've had a pimple "breakout"... I look so tired and haggard most of the time. And no matter how much I try to relax and rest and get enough sleep, I still look like a walking zombie. I'm tired. May I sleep eternally? or at least until HELL WEEK's over? *sigggggggggh*

Fourth, I'm confused. About something at the back of my mind. I think I hear things at night. I feel like I'm being watched while I study in my room. The walls seem to have eyes. They whisper to me in my sleep. I'm afraid to tell my mom. I think I'm being paranoid. I don't want to scare her. I think it's my demons again. They're back. I know they are.
