BSMT2 just passed -- the next level

BSMT2-- This is another episode of an unfinished soap opera of mine which is medical technology. Before I proceed to the next episode, let me share to you in this blog my reflections of the previous episode. It is not just about academic knowledge but how it influences my total well-being as a daughter, as a sister, as a friend, as a classmate and of course, as FRANZ. (This is a sequel of the post BSMT1 just passed last June 9, 2011 

This episode introduces me different friends. Anatomy and Physiology which told me a great story about the homeostasis and the feedbacks of my body. It increases the extracellular calcium secretion of my cardiac muscle every Fridays due to its lecture exams. There also came Spanish which twisted my tongue for the entire year. There I discovered that inanimate things have genders too like the male eraser (el borrador), the female ax (la hacha), the female milk (la leche) and a the male cabinet (el aparador). Why don't Spanish language pave even a single way for gays and lesbos? There's also Biochemistry which almost hydrolyzed us to simple amino acids, nucleic acids, monosaccharides and fatty acids. There's health care too which left us with empty pockets due to a good-for one semester uniform and also a kit which weren't used in the semester. There is a secret murderer called laboratory management which was friendly at the first glance. Also, Statistics, which we rely our fortunes in our calculator. Let's not forget Cytogenetics--An alleluia for the test papers.  Other friends converted us to different professions like PHGC (Philippine History Government and Constitution) which turned us into lawyers in one sem by solving case studies about the fundamental law of the land-- The Philippine Constitution. Then there's literature which turned us into actors and actresses. Lastly here's health economics which made us into gamblers-- Sadly, gamblers of our grades.

Let us not just end this up to the aforementioned different friends. A syllabus sucks when not applied. There is always a conclusion in every episode though it's still relying on the next.

When it comes to academics, I've done better than the previous year. Surprises came which I didn't expect ever. But I should not be complacent just because that happened. Honestly, I haven't done my best yet. There is an evil procrastination that seemed to possess me. There are still things I've made that I should not repeat on the next episode.

When it comes to people, I'll still rank it a pro. In this semester, I admit that I still acquire a "wonder-woman wanna be" character. There were times that I was the one who worked out on the mess of other people though there's still mine that I can't even work out. The hidden characters of some friends who I've known since from the start of college revealed slowly and slowly. I also met a new friend of mine who has unpleasant impression from others yet I've known her differently from those impressions. She indeed became one of my closest friends in the block.

Being almighty isn't really unlimited. I learned that from the experience of a virtual brother of mine. I ascertained that the purpose of taking this course is not to be an "anointed one" but for the lessons that one must acquire. I should acquire those lessons because I want to be a great medical technologist and a doctor someday.

I also realized that it's wrong to judge a teacher immediately. I had a teacher who I thought was strict and inconsiderate because he appeared to be so at the start. I even loathed his subject because I thought it was useless. Days went by, his real color appeared slowly which was brighter. Fortunately, I aced in his subject. Thanks for the grade sir. I also met an egocentric teacher. His subject was a relative, I mean a son of another subject which is my mortal enemy. I considered him egocentric because it seems like he doesn't want to be beaten-up by his students when it comes to knowledge. I observed it through the way he discuss. But he, being egocentric helped me a lot. Because of his character, I really studied well in his subject and those were really worth. Miraculously, I got a grade which I didn't ever expected.

Patience-- This could mainly be the best virtue in the whole school year. Honestly, it is this year that I burst all my temper for crying out loud because of some catastrophes. There were times that I became too impatient. Still, it is really better to be patient though others are not. I realized that it's like stabbing myself and I almost like stabbed others as well. I should be ready for the next episode then which could be worse.

In this year, I knew my self even more than the previous year. I started planning for the future. Kung sa math pa, I'm still on ongoing solution for my final answer. Of course I should not forget to make my mother and sister as part of it. All that I'll do is really for them.

In the next episode, I should improve. That's the most crucial part of this entire soap opera. Maybe sequel of this will be longer. Just stay tuned until I post "BSMT3 just passed".

SECRECY and trust

Secrecy is the quality or condition of being hidden. It is marked by the habit of discretion.

I guess no one ever exists without secrets hidden. These could be anything about family, love, friendship and etc. Ironically, secrets are meant to be shared with the one you "trust". Mostly, people cannot handle to conceal everything so there's a tendency to spill them off.

Trust-- it is an assured reliance on the truth of someone or something. If someone shares his secret unto you, then he gains his trust on you. Yet a single slip of the tongue can break ones trust. Trust is like a mirror, you can't fix it when it's broken. Though you can try to stick the pieces, the crack is still there.

Most of my friends rather share their secrets to their close friends than to their parents. Indeed, I'm different. I always share my own secrets to my mother. She even updated on my crushes. That's how I trust her. Aside from her, there are also my close friends especially my sisters, CRIFTs.

I'm really flattered when somebody shares his own secrets to me. I really love the feeling of being trusted. Believe it or not, I could be a victim of slipping tongue. That's why I'd rather keep my mouth shut than to dare to spill somebody's secret. It is really hard when trust is lost.

Yes, keeping a secret is difficult. Then it really matters on how you control your mind. You should think of the consequences if you let the cat out of the bag. Aside from the worst aftermath which is broken trust, you can embarrass a certain person then ruin his reputation. Maybe, you can destroy somebody's plan.

You can lie if it is really needed. Not all liea can harm. Lie can be beneficial. It really depends on the situation. That's a defense mechanism to remain a secret hidden. Pretend you don't know anything.

To keep safe, better change the topic of a conversation when there's a tendency in digging up a secret. Have a presence of mind

If you want to share your own secret to somebody, think first if the subject of that trust is really that reliable. Anyone has a possibility to spread a secret.

Yes, secrets are meant to be concealed yet most are meant to be revealed. Brace yourself on the revelation but don't let it happen by somebody else's mouth.

Summer 2012

Summer 2012- Traditionally, this is the "last" real summer of Velezian Medtechs. It is done after 2nd year of the course. It gives the students the opportunity to recharge themselves before sacrificing themselves as tributes on third year. 


BSMT3- This could be like Hunger Games. (As what our ates and kuyas who went through this told us). It is the real battle for Velezian Medtechs. Students are faced into a fierce arena wherein they will discover their true skills and fortune on this course. 


As for now as a medtech student, I'm still in the "recharging stage". Before bidding adieu to 2nd year, most of my fellow medtechs planned about summer. Because it's the "last" real summer, they planned to make it epic and unforgettable like going to beach, summer outing and it could be like unforgettable journey like travelling to another country. They said these might not happen again forever. Supposed, I planned for a summer job. My mom refused at first then suddenly, she allowed me. Then I realized that it's not really worth it to enter a summer job. Yes, I could earn money but I might end myself stressed. Not mentally stressed but physically stressed. 


This summer, I still made my usual routine during summers in high school. Sleeping-eating-internet-watching tv. Due to boredom, I added some activities-- studying (I admit it, for the preparation on third year, but I only do it one hour a day) and reading books (not related to my course)..


I may not have the opportunity to experience the unwinding activities like my other batchmates do on summer. But I guess what I'm doing right now is better. I already have a chance to ponder on my future and also this is a better recharge for me for third year. I don't want to start up nothing on third year. 

I don't wanna end being screwed up

Kung Hei Fat Choi...

Well I just had a great chat with a high school friend of mine.

Last Saturday, I was so happy the midterms ended plus there's a "long weekend" but now, Oh my, I think I'm screwed up coz the "long weekend" is almost over and tomorrow,.. ooopsie...

If last week, I was worried about the exams.. well now, it seems I'm worried about the RESULTS of the exams..

Yes, I was screwed up last midterms, in health care.. oh my, I was freaked out when I answered the test questions.. :( It's fvcking hard... PHGC, which I expected to be harder seemed to be easier. And Health Econ.. where the heck is our teacher's promise? He told us that we'll only answer one item and in the exam, we were told to answer all of those problems? Okay fine, as long as we're exempted in finals. That would be the first and the last term exam in Health Econ..

I didn't also expect that Math would be the easiest exam. Thanks to our teacher. Oh no, Spanish, I just realized that I forgot something. Well, I'm just hoping for miracles :(. Well, Janelle told me that I cannot change what is written on the blue book... Wa na tay mahimo

Okay... Finals... Bawi na lang ko.. may ganie midterms pa...

hell week before midterms

I am currently here in the library. Thank God coz we have no lab management class. Instead of strollong around, I'm spending my break by making my philo assignment (i recently finished it.. it's about choosing passages from the holy bible and koran then relating them about the human person.. something like that..) and studying for the phgc exam tomorrow.
This week is indeed a blast of hell..so far, here are some of the details

monday night- I painted my carved soap then finished all my Statistics exercises. I ended up sleepless.

tuesday- I was pissed off by the taxi driver who cheated on his meter and we paid a larger amount..

wednesday- That was such an embarrassing day.. I don't have the confidence to post it here but if you really want to know about it, just ask me personally. The exams in statistics was mind-boggling. Thank God because the cytogenetics midterm exam was heavenly easy, I guess.

Tomorrow will be another freaky exam in PHGC (Philippine History, Government and Constitution). I'm expecting that it will be tough. And also health care long exam on saturday then procession pa jud. I hope I could go home conveniently and safely.. Next will be the Midterm Examinations. Ergo, I will not go out on Sinulog. I'd rather devote myself to Sto. Nino by studying..

okay.. continue sah ko ug study

Thanks to your pasalubongs!

I just had my first day of school for 2012. It started with Objectivos Pronombres in Spanish, Soap Carving in PE and the four elements in Philo.

Let me express my gratitude through this blog. I would like to thank Bert Ryan Tigley Lim (one of my college close friends. He was my organic chem and biochem lab partner) for his pasalubong from Surigao. It is a bookmark with a monkey design. Thank you so much idol!

And also thanks to Marissa "Baday Geonzon (My cousin who is studying BS I.T. at Cebu Institute of Technology University for the Peanut Kisses from Bohol. I really miss Bohol so much and I hope I could get there soon..

Hello School for 2012

Klase na ugma? Dali-a sa panahon oi... christmas vacation.. extend pls. (my recent facebook status)

I almost didn't care that my mom kept on prompting me to sleep coz there will be classes tomorrow and now, I'm still blogging. Anyway, after this blog, you might rarely see me post.

Okay let me describe the day before the first day of school of a new year. Mostly, it is the high time of the procrastinators because students are too lazy during Christmas vacation. There may be the time that you thought of reading your notes but after a while you'll get the mood to sleep. You may get the "baboy" personality (lying down after eating then sleep) during holidays.

I just improved this year. (Ayee, sunod na dayon ang new year's resolution o..may lang ba kaha sa sugod?) I haven't crammed too much today because I finished some of my exercises in Statistics and I already studied Cytogenetics for the exam this Wednesday. Honestly, I crammed on transferring the project in Statistics to MS Word for easy printing.. (The project is all about organization and presentation of data. If you've taken stats already, it's like you'll gonna make a frequency distribution out of the data given then you'll make some graphs (bar graphs, histogram, frequency polygon, line graphs and etc. We were tasked to make them tru MS Excel and it's by group. Hahay, I made most of the project and it's so hassle. This is the only chance that I'll complain a bit. I don't want to complain in front of my groupmates. Well, I should task them to print the hard copy! It would be so unfair if I'll be the one to do that!)

Okay today, it's my first in 2012 to go to Ayala from the signing of papers regarding my sister's investments. I decided to go to National bookstore to buy a new ballpen. As I went there, I saw some of the stabilo highlighters and I remembered that most of my highlighters didn't work anymore or almost out of ink. Then here I go, for the new year, I bought new swing cool highlighters with colors blue, pink, orange and violet. For I'm a visually inclined person, I cannot study if my hand outs or notes are plain. I want them to be colorful so that they'll stick to the temporal lobe (site of memory in the brain) easily. I chose swing cool coz it's not so big like the ordinary stabilo which consumes a lot of space in my kit and if I'll be too lazy to place them back to my kit, they can be placed in my pocket if I want.

pink, blue, orange, light blue (old) and violet swing cool highlighters

As I went back home from ayala, I glanced through my planner. Planner? Oh, it's just a humble planner. Instead of consuming lots of cafffeine and spending a total of almost 3k for earning stickers just for Starbucks planner, I made my own. What's the use of spending too much money if I have my own creativity? Char... Well, Last month (of year 2011), as I went to Gaisano tabunok to buy some stuffs... I saw a scratch pad worth 2 pesos and I took a look at it. There came a creative plan. I wrapped it in blue and designed it with a ribbon and that's it! I have my planner! What are placed in my planners are just tasks for everyday. As I got my new highlighters, there came an idea to make each page colorful. Instead of check marks for accomplishment, I'd rather place a colorful mark to inspire me to accomplish every task. It may last not only in 2012.. it could last on the next year.

front view of my planner, see how I love google so much

Okay tomorrow, the first period will be.. SPANISH.. Hola español! Hahahah.. Okay, I'd rather sleep now after preparing my stuffs..

Anyway, here's my screenshot of the blogger app on my iphone. I might post a blog in school..

blogger app for iphone

Ugma na jud! ?@!#$

aedsfgfhjfkdl;

That's what I can say...

This morning, my seemed to tremble beyond the normal (as if it's already the first day of school). Tomorrow is already the awaited day.. June 15, oh my.

Tomorrow, I'll be spending my first day of school yet not on MNSHS anymore T_T. Instead of going south, i'll move towards north. Goodbye green uniform. I just wore it on one year. Hello, white dress and ponytail but I will not wear it yet on the first day for I still don't have one yet.

Hello new friends! I bet they are waiting for me. I really fear if I'll get lost in school. I will not stay in just one room for the whole day. Instead, I'll be the one to go around the classroom for classes.

Hello boarding house. I don't want to stay there for too long. I get used to be in my home sweet home. I miss travelling too! Well, it's really needed for me to resist late. I must not worry for I'll go home during weekends.

Goodbye virtual world... I really enjoy my spare time with it for two months. I beat the call center agents in my duration of usage..

I can't promise to update this blog everytime. I'll just do my best to blog during weekends if I have vacant.

Please pray for me everybody!... I hope for the best tomorrow...

weee.. ayoooooooooo..

Hey.. the monster is back.. :) I haven't been updating my blogs since then.. lolz. You know na.. I'd preventing my own dialect in this blog starting this time. I wanna share my blog to my friends everywhere especially those from symbianize.com. Hello mga kasymbians..haha. I'd rather use tagalog or english.
Hmmm, do you want to know how i am? sus, yung mga walang paki-alam.. bahala na kayo.. :p
It's seems this is the shortest summer and the next school year seems to be the earliest opening of class in my life. See, it's confirmed that June 1 is the opening of class.
OMG, I'm already in the SENIOR YEAR in the upcoming school year. What section will I be? Will it be platinum or uranium? Hahayzt.. It doesn't matter where will I be..
It seems that it's too early in thinking about my college but see time is too fast and I'm already in the last year of my high school.
I am already sure about my course. It's computer engineering pero yung ate ko.. nagsabi na sana magchange yung mind ko.. sana pipili pa ako ng mas bonggang course. Gusto sana niyang maging doctor or lawyer ako.
Paano, I really want to enter their industry.. If magiging doctor ako, it seems that I will not be happy. I appreciate the doctors who heal.. pero kahit anong encouragement ng mga relatives ko.. parang ayaw ko talaga. It isn't my passion. I just studied well in advanced biology for the sake of my grades.
Kung law.. ayoko rin.. hahayzt..
Gusto ko talaga yung course na pinagpasyahan ko. Alam ko na mahirap yun kasi involved talaga siya sa math.. eh bahala na.. I'll take all the risks. Eh kasi yun ang passion ko. Baka makaya ko gamit ng pagsisikap.
At saka kapag nakatapos na ako at saka may bongga na akong trabaho.. pagagandahin ko yung bahay namin.. lagyan ko ng elevator.. lolz.. at saka bigyan ko ang parents ko ng luxury car.. hahahahha, at basta.. yung mga sweldo ko, para sa mga magulang ko.
Hahayzt.. I really want to study in the best universities in the country. Gusto ko sanang mag-aral sa maynila.. I've been dreaming about that but I tried to forget them coz for sure, my parents won't allow me. I was happy that my sister encouraged me to study in manila especially ateneo. Hahayzt.. thank you talaga ate.. and I'll try my best para makapasa ako..
Siya na raw ang bahala regarding my parents.. hehehe
Hahayzt.. sana matupad yung mga pinangarap ko :)
