yet another reason why cigarette smoking is bad for your health

posted on March 1st, 2007 (07:48 AM)

this happened to my prof in college a couple of days ago...

so, ro was in his car, windows down, smoking a yosi.  it was some kinda traffic kasi.  out of nowhere a dirty hand, a head and half of a body went past between him and the steering wheel and grabbed his cell phone placed behind the shift stick.

shet. may kumuha ng cell phone ko!

and he just sat there stunned by the whole thing.  he was so totally pissed with the fact that he didn't even do anything, like stop the person or something.  considering na he was just right there in front of him! 

in hindsight, maybe it was ok na rin na hge didn't do anything.  what if the dirty, evil person actually has friends?!  yikes!

on more irrelevant news, after weeks and weeks of not talking, talked with ex again last night.

told him about the thing that i refuse to talk about...

the thing i like most about ex when we talk is that he keeps me grounded.  i'm flighty.  it's practically a given.  need to think some more...

feels like another re-run...

my life: a series of re-runs 

while i waste my time

i'm supposed to write paper for clinic today.  obviously, i don't like.  so i will write about something else.

the two people i work with in preschool doesn't want to handle my class next year!  waah!  ok naman my kids eh!  one wants to teach her kids still, so she'll move up, the other one doesn't think she can handle my problem kids, so she plans to stick with the babies.

my kids aren't so bad though.  they're fun!  seriously.  i have one dozen super kulet but adorable kiddos.

my fave of course is kassie.  she's a small, curly haired cutie with major topak. hahaha!  no naman... she just needs alot of attention.  although we're sortof improving na in lessening it.  hard to make her work independently coz she wants you to keep checking her work.  but she works extremely well.  medyo ob-c.  bata pa lang eh noh?  when she colors, it has to be inside the line, when she traces she makes sure she really follows the lines, and when she cuts, she's very careful not to make lagpas.  and in school, she only listens to her teacher, dedma to the other teachers.  but she does listen and follow whatever i tell her.  plus, brightness na bata.

then there's sam, another fave.  one of the brightest kids in my class, together with rafe.  really good memory and grasp of concepts.  a little baby-ish though.  gets sumpong at times, and overly sensitive.  you can't get mad at her, she cries right away!  she doesn't usually give me any reason to raise my voice, but when i do like when she gets kulet, she'd cry!  but she's really behaved so that very rarely happens. 

rafe.  this smiley little boy is another major kulet, super talkative kiddo.  great memory retention.  his one and only problem is when daddy doesn't take him to school, crying session sila in the car.  and he doesn't want me to see him cry.  as in!  he refuses to let me see his face the one time i caught him crying.  i had to let him fix his face behind the board para i won't see him teary-eyed.  sabog!  but he's very patient with anton, and he knows when to listen.

one of the major problem kids in my class is anton.  but of course, his is a diagnosed condition.  he really has behavior problems.  that's why he goes to OT pa.  although compared to when he first started, major improvements na sha!  the first couple of weeks he was in pre school, the head teacher kept telling me to tell his parents na we can't take him in kasi medyo problem talaga.  he's very aggressive and he's big and he oftentimes hurt other kids although he doesn't mean to.  either coz he doesn't know na he's kinda strong, or it was really unintentional coz he wasn't paying attention, or coz he got mad.  but he got "controllable" naman.  the kids still sometimes complain about him, and some are still OA about it; but he has friends now so i'm happy.  still has issues with impulse control and frustration tolerance... but we're getting there.

he is actually one of the reasons why the other teacher doesn't want my class.  i think it's pretty hard to deal with him kasi if you really don't have background with special kids.  it's just that i've handles worst kaya not so affected na ko.

actually the new teacher told me na they have someone like him in her previous school, and she's aliw coz anton has friends.  the kid in their school was sortof "marginalized".  nobody would play with him.  coz the teacher doesn't like the kid, and she shows it!  evil woman!  naturally, the other kids would follow her lead.  that's shitty.

then again, maybe i really can't expect everyone to understand how it is.  norm na kasi yan in my world.  before pre school, i don't know any regular kids.  that's how bad it was.   

there was this dad in clinic who wrote a letter to the school refusing to let his son join the special olympics coz he thinks it makes the special kids look like circus animals --for show.  i can't really blame him for thinking that way though.  sometimes kasi mocking din eh.

--to be continued-- 

 

more time a-wasting

i was supposed to continue from the previous entry, but i can't yet.  and because i got aliw with this survey i saw from a site, i just had to paste it.  it does sound a lil bit alot like me... 

Shrew
Genera and species: Sorex araneus
Collective Term:
A lament of shrews

Description
The diminutive shrew is the archetypal insectivore. Intelligent, thrifty (uh... i don't think so...) and self absorbed (highly!), it knows how to get what it wants -- regardless of who stands in its way. Cursed with an overactive metabolism, the shrew is unable to stand still for even a minute (in other words, ADHD). Whether it's picking up the kids, shopping at a garage sale, or poking its nose into other people's business -- it just keeps going and going. If their outa my way attitude provokes resentment from its friends, that's just too bad. A shrew's gotta do what a shrew's gotta do. Think Tammy Faye Baker.

Their sharp eyes have a knack for spotting the hole in the fence, and with their ability to make instant decisions, they impetuously seize the moment and scuttle on through. Their smart mouths and high energy are put good use in the workplace, and they excel as salespeople and journalists. But sometimes their reputation precedes them and they find a built-in resistance to their pitch even before they've opened their mouths.

The shrew can be a demanding, high maintenance individual (true, true...) whose obsession for resources dominates its life. Although it has a reputation for being bloodthirsty and vicious, these labels are not entirely accurate, since it is rarely aggressive and its attacks are limited to a shrill verbal assault in the form of an incessant whining. Without the time to take other people's feelings into account, it creates a number of enemies as it blazes busily through life. Consequently, it needs to be wary of the vicious claws of the feline personalities and the clumsy but powerful canines.

With its devilish sense of humor, the shrew will romance you with its witticisms and inspire you with its insights. The shrew has an enviable set of bedpost notches (what notches? ), for when it comes to chatting up the opposite sex, they are exceptionally persuasive. They pride themselves on being able to talk anyone into a fling -- especially those torrid encounters (wohoo! i wish it were torrid. hahaha!) of which the shrew is so fond. With no qualms about telling white lies, they have become so adept at these little falsehoods that they're prone to believing in them themselves. There's something about a shrew's sexuality that makes it seem younger than it really is. Perhaps it's their bright eyes, glossy hair, or excess makeup, but more likely it's their high energy level that reminds us of our youth.

As a parent, the shrew places a high value on its family's comfort and security, schlepping its kids around and involving itself in every aspect of their lives. Its tendency to be overbearing and pushy with its children, can breed resentment when they reach adulthood.

The shrew's scattered thought processes make it an awkward dinner partner. Unbound by logic and unfettered by reason, its thoughts tumble out in a string of disconnected words -- making for amusing but disconcerting conversation (it's a condition: cluttering). But, when it comes to issues of the heart, shrews rarely shoot from the hip. So, when a shrew appears self-absorbed and uncommunicative, it is generally a symptom of an impending emotional showdown (meaning, i'm scarier when i shut up.).

so i have plenty papers pa to write.  so i don't want to write any.  gad!  i'm sooo delinquent.

ex is being strangely nice lately.

finally writing nonsense again

posted on March 18th, 2007 (06:58 AM)

finally!  almost over with the toxicity.  i managed to finish all the papers i needed to pass in the clinic at 5am!  then i had to wake up a couple of hours after for work.  yargh!  and because i had two days of almost no sleep, i'm floating again.  life is fun.

ok. so update.

clinic's almost over.  one ptc na lang, and it's done.

pre school's done by wed.  waaaah!  i still feel a little teary leaving preschool... i will so miss my kids. *sniff, sniff*

two more case presentations for diliman.  i need to get that over quick!

went out with ex two weeks ago.  did i mention that na?  it was fun.  he's  funny.  seriously.  he gets me laughing the whole time.  i sortof miss it.  nothing more to tell.

spoke with tin, and plans were made for may.  yeyness!

calaruega with dili girls!  more yey!  never been there and have no idea what to see.  so i'm excited.

he wasn't online today.  i miss talking in skype.  ok, so i miss him.  but he's in far, far away so i'd settle for conversation.  it would be so nice when he gets back.  wonder how we'll be when he gets back?  alot of things can happen.  hmm... a november replay would be nice. wehehe...

i'm waaay, waaaay, too emo. must stop. seriously. it's irritating and icky.

what i wouldn't give to be apathatic...

 

I don't wanna know it's over
Cause ignorance is bliss
I can hardly see
What's in front of me
Cause the vodka's running on empty
I can't stay sober
If it's over

news bits numero uno:

i need to finish 12 clearbooks (parang yearbook na personalized) for my kiddies in pre school. i' done with 3, so 9 more to go! supposedly, i quit na today, but since i'm not yet done (and they really can't expect me to be done!), my salary's been extended til the next pay day at least. but i wouldn't be teaching anymore.

at least i'm still paid. so nice talaga tina. hehe...

news bits numero dos:

i sooo need to take the studying seriously. seriously! i am iscared,

news bits numero tres:

still one more paper to go for this sem. argh!!!!

news bits numero kwatro:

ex is being too darn nice again. strange, strange. dahil ba lapit na birthday nya? ummm... konek? hehehe

news bits numero singko:

nabuhay si A. A the married guy i used to be with before he got married. they don't go out ni wife??? another weird thing. as i've told bb yesterday: asking if we could go out for movies. apparently, i am the only movie buddy.. or so he says.

we did not do it when we were together and i did not know about the gf.

we did not do it when we were still together and i knew na about the gf.

why would i do it with him now that he's married? and sex is the only reason i could think of why he wants to see me again.

news bits numero sais:

this is just darn funny. my friend's studying to be a transcriptionist kasi.. well they had to go to this is sort of program anyway. overheard conversation nya:

1: pare, fetal edema daw.

2: hindi pare, bi-fetal edema.

1: ah! baka die fetal edema!

die talaga si fetus sa edema nyan! for those who cannot relate, the word they needed to know was bipedal edema. in filipino, pamamanas ng paa.

-the end-

p.s.

i miss bb. so tagal pa july...

on strangers

posted on March 31st, 2007 (11:03 AM)

i was with very stranger people in the van this evening.  i rode home in a van/fx from lawton to sucat.  a huge drunk guy sat beside me.  he reeked of alcohol, and he was scary huge, but he seemed harmless.  unfortunately, huge and harmless drunk kept on bugging me with stupid questions.  i hate it when strangers talk to me.  usually, i run away.  but i can't, so i had to stay put.  i was trying to pretend to sleep... unfortunately, this did not stop him from continuously bugging me.  he asked if he had a bag with him.  i said no.  he said he had a gun there.  weeeell, thank gad he left it then.  then he kept asking me about ME.  gak!  i am bad with ignoring.  so i asnwered with my usual.  answering questions by smiling, nodding or shaking my head.

"taga-san ka?"

smile.

"taga-baclaran?"

shake head.

"taga-tambo?"

shake head.

"paranque?"

nod head.

the conversation pretty much went like that.  when he got down, two guys in front of me kept asking me what we were talking about and kept making  jokes and stuff.  gad!  spare me from this people! 

i pretended to sleep.

i was craving for pizza the other day and had one delivered.

i called pizza hut, gave my order, then my name.  then the phone lady gave me my address and phone number clarified if she got my home address and number right.  

do you not get bothered by the fact that strangers know such infos about you?  i know they keep records of people who ordered before and all but... 

i did not like.

on the way to patient's house, i have to ride a trike.  i go there at the most, twice a week.  been doing so for around 10 months.  for the past couple of weeks, the drivers would be telling me where i would go!

"cagayan sa may delpan" 

i would nod my head and sit back.

it's bothering me. 

I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

i may have a weird kind of xenophobia.

hihihi. i'm soooo babaw.
