Random Scribbles :)

I shall insert in this post my lapses for the past decades. Oh I mean, weeks. Hihi. I am glad I still gained a few views for those couch potato moments when I failed to update this blog. By the time I get to deactivate my FB account, maybe perhaps I'll get to update this more often than before. Warning: the contents may be not in season. But please, bear with it :)

Some of you may have noticed in one of my posts that I promised to make a separate blog for my fish eye photo fascination. I should have made it long before but yes, I decided not to. OKAAAAY! I am not so good in promises. I just realized it's mean to post those fish eye faces in here and they become other people's laughingstock. Should I forgive myself for having the thought of making that post? Huhuhu :( Anyway, those fish eye photos are in my FB account which no one can tag because that is the general rule of the album. NO TAGS. You might guys view it if we are Facebook pals :)

Congratulations to all the Heat fans everywhere! Some of you may think that they were my NBA champion bet but hey, they're not. Last year, they were. I casted my bet for the younger team Oklahoma City Thunder this year. I was real torn between these teams but I don't know what was in Kevin Durant that captured me and made his team my bet. Well, anyway, I am a fan of LeBron even when he was still in the Cavs. I am so happy for his first championship award and of course, his first MVP!!! Though my bet lost, I am just no bitter because they were once my team. And Kevin Durant, you are YOUTH and ATHLETICISM at its finest. Maybe your team needs a bit of 'seasoning'. You will have your ring real soooooon :)

Lately, I am just going bored from the sleep-wake-eat cycle. Ugggh!!! I wanna go on formal review classes. I am always tempted to watch TV, play tetris so I can't read that much. I just can't tame myself. I am so sure I'll get another blog update before this week ends. I just thank June and welcome July with optimism and open arms! This is it!!! I can't wait!

Getting in Track

Inhale. Exhale. I would like to seize this moment since it was like forever since I last blogged. Hahaha! As I write this blog, I just feel being serenaded. Now playing in my playlist is "Give me Love" by Ed Sheeran, OST of the Vampire Diaries. Such a beautiful song and melody that I feel I am now Elena Gilbert and that two good-looking and alluring vampires are willing to die for me. Yeah! Such a dreamer. OA much! Booo!  Haha :> But anyway guys, you might just listen to the song if you haven't and if you want to. 

So much for that feeler thing, don't have that thought that I was busy because apparently, I've been living a couch potato life for more than a month now. Haha :p The excuse for not  keeping this blog updated is that I haven't found myself an inspiration to do so. That's it!. Uhm, maybe I'd been quite preoccupied too doing the The Vampire Diaries marathon from season 1 to season 3. Hihi.

But, hey guys! I got myself in track. Finally finished my marathon of the TVD. Approximately, it took me 2,640 minutes to complete the marathon so that is why, I'll consider myself commendable. HAHA! Despite starting watching it super duber kaduber late, I made myself through the boredom of staying at home for this whole summer. At least, I really got myself in track and I am not much of the obsolete girl now. Hihi :p

CONGRATULATIONS ALCHANG!

Now let me share to you my favorite love teams during the marathon:

DAMON AND ELENA ♥

(Delena)

Guys, please don't get me wrong. I am not a "Stelena" hater. Just in my own opinion, the characters of Elena and Damon just fit together romantically. Damon wasn't the better guy with Stefan when it comes to morals but there's just so much about of Ian Somerhalder's character that brings out the best in Elena. I liked it at first when Damon wasn't so much vocal about his love for Elena. For me, it appeared more genuine in ways I can't explain. My best kilig moment with them was when Damon was about to die from a werewolf bite.

Damon: I know you love Stefan and it will always be Stefan. But I love you. You should know that. 

Elena: I do.

Damon: You should have met me in 1864. You would have liked me. 

Elena: I like you now. Just the way you are. 

I think all Delena fans have this as one of the best Delena moments. It's one of the most epic kisses ever! This scene was I think better than the more intense one in season 3. I just hope they end up together in TVD. Well, I know they are true-to-life lovers but the ones you see in TV is different. It has a separate criteria. Hihi :p

KLAUS AND CAROLINE ♥

(Klaroline)

I am not a pro-antagonist. No, don't get me wrong. Given that Tyler has a better physique, I still love Klaus for Caroline. Though he played evil there, he being attracted to Caroline proves that everyone is capable of loving, even the most evil vampire you think. Kilig! Klaus (Joseph Morgan) is charming. He really is despite his role in TVD. Well, I don't think I should be happy that Klaus wasn't dead because he is still in Tyler's body. I love Klaus in his original body, not in Tyler's! haha :)) Maybe there's still a chance so that's why I would have to wait till October for Season 4. 

Finishing the 3 seasons of TVD means I have to get going. With what? The serious stuffs. If you know what I mean... Hmmmnn... Well, since it is June, I would wish the people getting back to school a happy back-to-school! I suddenly missed the feeling of being back in school after a looong summer of boredom. More than missing the being-back-to-school feeling, I miss having my weekly allowance. I just feel so poor during    summer days, don't you? Hihi :p Can't wait to see my friends and get in track with them again in August. There's a lot of catching up to do.I guess I'll just end up here. God bless and thanks for sparing a bit of your time to read! =)

Seventeen Again

Add caption

I remembered watching this movie of Zac Efron a few years back. It was a story of a 35-year-old man who became 17 again after an accident. I loved the movie though apart from the reason that Zac's handsome (hehe :*) because it gave chance to correct some past's mistakes. From which, the present's unstable family relationship was given a chance to be a better one. And though in reality no one ever gets to have that chance, somehow it gave me some hope. (Hopia lang te? Hahaha)

This post is not actually about that movie. The post title doesn't tell that much of what this post's about. It's just lately someone is making me wish and feel I am 17 again when I'm so TWENTY years old already. Haha :> This made me remember that movie of Zac's. Hahaha. Feeler!

Daniel John Ford Padilla :)

This young man is accountable! **insert wagas na kilig here** HAHAHA! Well before, I didn't used to like him paired with Kathryn Bernardo. I was a real fan of the team-up of Albie and Kathryn as Mara and Christian in "Mara Clara". And when I heard he replaced Albie, I just said to myself: "Naaah! Dili jud sila bagay! Nganong siya man ang gipuli kay Albie?" I used to wonder why many young girls are like screeching for him when I really don't find him that attractive. Maybe just a bit of 'so so'. Then, I remembered watching his first guesting in "Gandang Gabi Vice". It was then I realized entirely how extremely appealing of a guy he is. It was I think  the first time I focused on his face that long on TV. From which maybe, I realized he's really good-looking in like a snap. Now, the GGV guesting was all it took.

From that on, my head was counted as one of those 'getting-fuzzy-and-shivering-whenever-they-see-DJ' girls. Ugggh! Now I find myself eating my words. That's a big BOOOO! for me. Hahaha :p And because I became an instant fan from that guesting, I've been wishing if I could just be 17 again not only in order to have the same age with DJ but also, so that it doesn't appear much to be a 'trying-hard thing' from a twenty-year-old-college-graduate me to be his fan. At least if I am just 17, being of 'my kind' now is justifiable. Now I'm giving you the permission to say 'eewwwwwwww!!!' at me. Hahaha :D

Can't tell you that much of how far of a fan I had become. I haven't seen him personally when he came to SM CDO for a mall tour. I still haven't bought myself his album. No, no, not that die-hard yet. Still, I know it doesn't make me less of a fan. Anyway, I downloaded all the songs in his album but I still would love to buy the real copy.  Hihi. Hopefully. 

Uhm, just one more thing. I've been repeatedly claiming that I belong in his age group. When my cousin once told me I haven't grown that much, without thinking, I said for a reason: IT'S BECAUSE I AM ALREADY 17! Huh?!? Wait. Have I heard myself right? 5...4...3...2...1...And then I went blank. Really, for 5 seconds I forgot that I am already 20. That is so whatever and wishing and blah...blah...blah... Now, this one's absurd. Hihi. Please bear with this superb OAness. *wink!*

I don't know where I got the nerve to go 'mababaw' this way and sound so much of a teenager wannabe. At the end of the day, I think I would be teasing myself more than the others for this. Haha. Yeah right. I can't go into more mentioning of parade of things that made me of a fan of him. For sure, that's pretty boring on your part.  A lot of people did it already .I bet so. Haha. The real bottom line is, Daniel, you make me feel I am 17 again! That's one statement I am certain of. No one else is making me feel euphoric whenever I get a glimpse of your face on TV.

What's Wrong with Getting Obsolete?

I am sure a lot of you know these people in these pictures. The Vampire Diaries started airing on September 10, 2009 in the U.S. It is currently on its 3rd Season now. Guess what? I just started viewing Season 1. HAHAHA! Not so late, huh? Now you can call me a loser but I couldn't care less. I didn't have time during the student days and the real reason is: I DIDN'T HAVE A COPY!  I am enjoying the DVD copy Rangie had made me borrow last April 27. Credits to him for being that generous guy for lending me his movies and books and everything ever since the world began. Ayeeey! :D

I got hooked with the story actually. I don't know. Who wouldn't? Stefan and Damon are just great guys. Elena too. Oh! I'm biased. haha.But for certain reasons, I love Ian Somelhader's role. His antagonist-protagonist role just appeals so right to me. Well, I might have finished it days ago if not with this rotating brownout. Reasons! Haha. But it's a blessing in disguise since I would love to take it slow then. Haha. I see no point in worrying that I am obsolete in this and in a lot of things. As they say, Better late than never! At least I still can catch up. I needed no deadline of finishing the TV series. On the other hand, I am missing reading my Ana-Physio book and all the like. Must I worry now? Sigh! Gotta take a break. It may set my mood for the real battle. Just maybe. Yes nalang. Hihi :*

Love,

04.27.12

Just one good day to break the ice! I've been staying at home for the past few days and today, I went out at the town's plaza with High School buddies for our batch meeting regarding the incoming Alumni Homecoming on the 22nd of May. (Oh diba?)

It was one good day to finally get the 4th and 5th installment of Percy Jackson Series from Rangie. I've been eager to read them for months now. I went to Rangie's house together with the best buddy, Mary Rose to get the books and return The Sea of Monsters and The Titan's Curse which I borrowed from him too. As Mrose said, it's been years since she last stepped at Gie's doorstep so I insisted to take a photo of her inside Gie's house. Here it is.. Tentenenennn... 

Okay. So much for that. I could not detail the things agreed upon on the meeting but I have a feeling this will be a fun get-together. More fun this time! It's good to see your good friends again after quite sometime. Hmmmnnn...

I couldn't let the others pass without having a fish eye photo. Haha among the additions were photos of Bimbom, Trixie and Glydee. (I'll make a separate blog about my Fish Eye fascination.Hehe) 

The rest of the day went out well. Chatting and watching the sunset at our version of the Baywalk. On our way home, Cling, Mrose and I dropped by for a Cornetto bite. Yummy! And then I went home with a smile on my face. =)) 

Let me share to you one of the best quotes about friendship I knew from Rangie:

 "truly great friends are hard to find difficult to leave and impossible to forget"

-Randolf, G.  

Please do know I am quite trying to maintain this blog. Hehehe... God bless us all!

SUMMER!

I recently don't enjoy my summer that much. There's this rotating brownout that's sadly making my head hotter nowadays. Well, I am certainly a TV person. I love to watch "It's Showtime" in particular among any other TV show. HAHA Showtime's really exceptional (aminin!). This brownout really is depriving me of the right to enjoy  watching that show. My goodness!

What I had been doing lately? Okay. I'll admit it. I've been reading books lately in preparation for you know! HAHA. This may sound quite praning but never mind. Mostly my classmates had started reviewing in the review center in preparation for the December 2012 NLE. Oh gush! I admit I was tempted to go with them but I think I should take time to read my books before going into formal lectures once again by August. So indeed, I must brace myself! Haha It really pays to be prepared, I figured! Apart from that, I've been enjoying though not often, some swimming stuffs,  which I am putting hopes into improving my dextroscoliosis. If you'll ask if it  improved my posture, I can't tell. However, my cousin Kristle (Lyn2x) told me I don't slouch that much anymore. YAAAHOOOO! And one more thing, several people told me that I looked leaner the past weeks. That's one thing I am so happy about since my friends do know I am underweight for my height and for my age. They even say I look more of like a grade six pupil than a college graduate (That's so mean! Nyahahaha). I must admit, a number of people mistook me to be an early teenager because of my body structure. But rest assured, I've been eating a lot lately! HAHAHA I've been enjoying also the time I have with my father since he's going back again to KSA on May 1st (Mother's birthday.. ouch!) after a short vacation here. Oh! Oh! 

Some things I would like to do are go on snorkeling or scuba diving perhaps in Duka Bay or go on an inter-island trip before I go into formal review classes this August. I don't know. Only God knows where the seasons will bring me. Fingers crossed for summer! To my buddies, see you soon! I so miss you all! 

Love,

Alchang

P.S. Please bear with these some amateur blogging. 

A NEW CHAPTER UNFOLDS

I had actually been planning weeks ago for this blog but it is just this time when the plan pursued. Well, I had time constraints, loss of focus, some preoccupations and had no internet connection for weeks now. Reasons. Reasons. Blah. Blah. Blah. Hahaha Boooo!

March 29, 2012- THE DAY! We had been waiting for that day. I had been suppressing the excitement for the fear of not being able to savor my final days in college. As so they say, graduation is not the end but a beginning. A lot of things are about to happen after graduation. You still have the fear of passing the board exams and finding a job. It makes me preoccupied to think about these things. But honestly, I maybe a bit anxious but I am not afraid of what lies ahead. As Luke 1:37 would say, "For nothing is impossible with God". I just surrender to Him the future. He had been with me since then and for sure, that is how He will be even after the last leaf of every tree falls or even after planets collide. 

Isn't it so right to be thankful? God has indeed sustained me all through the FOUR long years of struggle. I am sure you would believe if I say IT WASN'T EASY. I endured the hassles of hospital duties, return demonstrations, practical exams, Problem-Oriented Nursing Records, case studies and presentations, ward classes and all things that left me sleepless in some of those days. We all did. I thank God for the honor of belonging to the first batch of the new BSN curriculum. We started in first year college with 11 sections and among that 11 sections, only 43 students were left. I wouldn't take all the credits. I thank all the people behind this victory- my parents, my friends, my cousins and uncle whom I've been living with for the past four years, my mentors and many more! They are like one of this world's best people. That was indeed GRACE! Now, it is truly a great reason to sigh and have that big smile on my face. We made it!

Hello tomorrow!

I also would like to share some lines of our pinning song. Here it is:

"It only takes a spark

to get a fire going 

and soon all those around

can warm up in glowing

That's how it is with God's love

once you've experienced it

You spread His love to everyone

You want to pass it on"

**insert teary-eyes here** I was honestly moved with the song's lyrics. I agree with what the song wants to say. With how God has been good to me, I don't have the right to deprive goodness to the people around me. I certainly should pass it on. To God be the glory!

This one's my cousin's personalized gift.
It was really a commendable effort!

Special thanks to my cousin, Kristle who went home from Marawi for my pinning ceremony which was a day after my graduation in lieu of my father.
