The [Whereabouts]

MIXED SITUATIONS: Depression Sending myself to school wasn’t really easy. In most cases, ordinary students doesn’t really understand the situation how it feels budgeting the money til nothing is left in your pocket. Not even a single penny. I send myself to school by choice. It is my decision since I got so much bothered about the feeling of being a failure to their expectations. Mahirap pala magpaaral. Akala ko ganun ganun lang. Ngayon, sa halos dalawang taon na pagsusuporta ko sa sarili ko, sa baon, matrikula, at kung anu-anong gastusin, naubos na ang savings ko. Akala ko ganoon lang kadali. Nanghihinayang tuloy ako sa mga panahon na kumikita ako pero kung san san ko lang dinadala ang pera. Bili dito, bili doon. Di ko lang man narealize kung ano ang value ng pera. Madali kasi pumapasok pera sa akin noon. Nagawa ko pa nga sagutin ung tuition ng classmate ko para sa isang semester dahil nakikita ko ung galling at determinasyon nya. Ngayon, wala na sya. Sayang matalino pa naman. An...

I simply hate this semester. June is over and the start isn’t really that good. I am in this too much depression because I told myself I will pay more attention on my studies because I’m already counting my days to school. Everything wasn’t right. Everything that is happening is not according to my plan. Not because I’m lazy enough to study my lesson. I thought I will be challenged with the semester’s great deal package – psychiatric mental health and critical health nursing. In this years semester, only 18 days was allotted to finish everything. It was abrupt. Everything seems to be in a rush and it pretty fine with me and I’m already used to being rushed. At least after that 18 days, I will not (or should I say rarely) go to school because we’re more on staffing now. I am not protesting against the idea of having only 18 days class (4 hours each day) which includes 9 quizzes, 5 unit tests, a prelim, a midterm and final examination. I’m really determined to learn and willing enough to...

I don't go to school for me to get a degree. I go to school for me to learn. I am so much interested with Math and Philosophy but then I took up a pre-med course. I know I've told this a lot of times that I took up nursing because of some "calling". I am happy with where I am now. And I am already reserving 2-? years of my life to be a missionary nurse. Then afterwhich, I will go to school again to pursue my love and interest in Math and Philo. I know it's not good to know that my life is planned until I get married. I live according to my plans and I am having no problem with it. But things has changed. A year from now, I will be a nurse already. A devoted nurse, yeah. Some things never came into my mind and now they keep on coming. Now I wanted to be a doctor. A pediatrician specifically. I am not always after the salary. I am ALWAYS after what i can do to make a difference. Continuing to medicine will take some 5 to 7 years of my life and with that I will have ...

and i am back to school. yeah. and it's cool because i am still a nursing student. but how did i survuved the previous term break? i admit, what i had is the most boring of all. didn't go anywhere. boredom striked more than it can ever be. here's my thing: "Sometimes when you are used to being busy it's not a problem anymore. the only thing that you get irritated is how to budget the time. but, if you are enjoying what you are doing, time isn't a problem anymore. sleepless nights doesn't matter anymore. then if you got nothing to do all of a sudden, it's much more a big problem. how will you spend your whole day? your whole week? and the next weeks? sleeping till the sun set again? or watching TV not for enjoyment but just to spend the next hours with nothing to do? " yesterday was my last day to stay with boredom. I looked at my room and it's like a forest. i looked under the bed and it's like an ancient world. saw fossils. get a seed and ...

"anu ka ba? ang tali-talino mo tapos natatakot ka na baka bumagsak ka. eh ano pa kaya kami?" this is what my classmates tell me whenever i told them that this might be my last semester as a student nurse. to tell, i am not intelligent. maybe i just know how to use the gift of gab to look a wise one. :) i am a bittered student at first but i do not stand for my right. i do certain things because i want people to be proud of me especially those who are close to my heart. i don't wanna meet failures. i hate to see them sad. worried. at least for some short span of time sana, mapakita ko sa kanila na i will have a pretty good life. the truth, i don't wanna live a life where i can almost have everything. --- last night, we had an overnight. that was right after our finals for community health nursing 1. this will be our last time to be together as a group. we had some picture taking and some studio shots before we go the resort of my classmate. we wore our school uniform i...

This article wasn't my idea actually. Here are just realizations of what's the best way to get good grades and how to have a full long-term memory rather than having a sensory motor or short-term memory. Advices are made by our very own writer from the Philippines, Ms. Jessica Zafra. Ewan ko ba kung natagpuan nya na ang tinitibok ng puso nya. haha. what i know is that matalino siya. start na tayo? Ok, ganito yan, to others, nagsisimula na ang kalbaryo ng buhay eskwela, to others sa june 13 pa. sa iba naman ewan ko.
