Do you want A. Real me B. Show of me C. None of the above?

I thank God everyday that I have Joaquin. He accepts me for who I am and I don't have to change. Its funny how men can make a girl change. Not so much change, but make them blinded to their surroundings. Or make them disagreeable to their real friends. Because men come and go but your friends and family should be there forever. And if a man comes to between a friendship, then who is to say that friendship was real? But Joaquin will never do that. When we first met, I showed him the real me, not the show off me. Because if he could not accept that, then the relationship would not even be worth starting. Ok, maybe a little "show off me". Even though, I just let him beat me in pool...
For those who do not know, Joaquin and I decided not to attend our capping ceremony. And for those of you who are curious as to what that is...nevermind. Both of our families are not able to attend, well my family in manila are willing. But I would rather just my mother could go, and it seems like an awful lot of trouble. I appreciate that they want to come, and I told them that they can just visit if they like. But I will see...
I think I am just tired, and I am trying so hard not to do the whole "I want to go home already" thing. Sometimes I feel so alone out here, and I have Joaquin but its hard when only one person truely understands you. Always have to watch what you say...and that is just not me.

On a lighter note...here is my sister KATE!!!!!!!!!

I AM CHAMPION!!!!!!!

That's right, I finally accomplished something in the close to three years that we have been here. Me and my teamates (2 other girls) just won the Billiard Championship. Who would of thought we would win considering we were going against Engineering students and ICT students. I wonm 6 out of 8 games, and I am quite proud of that. So now I get a cool jacket and an "athlete's scholarship". Woot, go me. Wish I took pics =(

Nurses and Cocktails

Well it's been a while since my last blog, and I will use the usual excuse that I am sooooooooooo busy....playing WoW. Today was another one of our many holidays which are usually not know until the week before...Baguio Day. Last week was Hero's Day, the week before that was Nino Aquino day, and the week before that was the Foundation Day of our school. Convenient for everyone that these fall once a week.
We are finally all finished with our Community and School nursing for the REST of our lives. Last night I had to celebrate so we had our closest friend come by for a few drinks. It was quite fun.

Here is me in my FULL on community get up...Vest worn a total of 7 times (no it did not escape the early 90s), and the blouse worn 7 times. The pants and black shoes are about the only things that I have that I wore for 3 semesters. Usually with a Tshirt. Makes me feel great that I wasted 2k pesos on the blouse and shirt, and now I will NEVER wear again...

And here is the uniform that you ALL have been waiting for. Our first hospital duty was a few weeks ago. My 3rd real patient EVER passed on me. Not for things that I could not do, but for other reasons that I would rather not say. For the first few days I was a bit traumatized. I had nightmares, but eventually I got over it. It's life, and as a future nurse, I should be getting used to this sort of thing...but I think nurses never get used to it.
And here is a video on what we do with our spare time....
