I decided to have a camouflage/flower theme this month :) I won't be changing my layout though since i just changed it a few weeks ago(not to mention,i can't still move on from my Singapore trip.lol!) but maybe most of my designs and stuff will be in that theme.Anyway,here's a sketch that i drew about it:

So moving on,the week started with Cinco De Mayo followed by 5/6 aka "Indian Monday"!! :)) Me and my friends,or as we call ourselves as the C-Tribe,hanged-out around downtown Ortigas then headed at the Magic 89.9 station again for BNO's "Manyak Monday". ;D



These were taken outside the booth.Unfortunately,there were many visitors during that time as well so we weren't able to go inside right away.But on a happy note,Sam YG went out to meet us!:) So we end up having a little chit-chat during the commercial break.'cause yeah,i miss him so much :"> We even get to meet Ramon Bautista this time and he's very funny to talk to.Haha,my friend's pictures with him are even wacky :)) Then once we got inside the booth,we had a 'picture-taking session' with them.

with Slick Rick and Sam YG!❤
check out my pics with Sam and Ramon on my Instagram. ;)Hihi,it was neat enough that me and Sam are in our camo outfits..;D
Then afterwards,we decided to leave because there were really many visitors then.Either way,it was such a lovely night being there.but no worries,there's got to be more hang-outs with the boys soon(hopefully!) ;) Anyway,my friends had a sleepover at my house and that ends the whole night.

Last Wednesday,i was at Trinoma to watch Scary Movie V and it was funny inspite with all the green green jokes :)) I was even surprised that Lindsay Lohan and Ashley Tisdale are there.Haha!plus I appreciate the "Fifty Shades of Grey" scene ;)) After the movies,i met two of my highschool buddies at Gong Cha where we talk a bit 'cause one of them is going abroad already :( Sucks that it was someone close to me but she'll be back soon!Reunited with them was awesome since i haven't seen them for such a long time!
Aaaand I guess that's all for now.At this point of time,I'm treasuring most of these leisure days already having that it's the last month of vacay slash last month of freedom -__- ughhh i don't want to think about school yet!Haha

'til then!

#helloSINGAPORE! (part 1): Shopping&Sightseeing

I may not be hitting the beach this summer vacay,but I went out-of-country!Last Friday(040513),me and my family went to Singapore for a couple of days.It was all our first time and wow, I didn't expect it to be so much fun. From mixed raced fusions to the tidiest roads (not to mention that they are really strict.As in 'no littering','no spitting' and 'no chewing gum' or else, there's a fine.)--Everything seems to be in peace & order!Pretty much, this has been the safest country I've ever visited so far ♥

(032013) the Lala Land Experience!

*credits:DemiLovatoPH
The concert was certainly a must-go!! Indeed, I should have gone for Patron tix instead of Upperbox..-__- I never thought that Demi Lovato could throw out a rock-ass concert so well! If only am a highschool teen now, I could've idolize her then.Haha! Though I started to become a fan of her since she was in "Camp Rock" (back when i was 15 ;p) and then I started to like her more when she released her first album,"Don't Forget".I find her songs awesome even if others thought it was screechy or whatever. She's actually like Kelly Clarkson which I adore the most ;) Anyway,moving on...


The concert was held at the SMART Araneta Coliseum.The show started with a front act by Khalil Ramos.After that, Demi took over the show singing Unbroken as the opening song. The first set of songs were definitely head-banging and i loved it!Haha :)) from Get Back,Here We Go Again to Lala Land..i was like "dammmn!if it isn't my anthem of my favorite songs from her!" ;D Well she sang all of her released songs which is great.And aside from the singing, she did play her instruments such as the guitar and the piano.Here are some pics:




the crowd with their glowsticks!










Unfortunately,most of them are taken from the screen and if not there then it's on stage which is blurry due to my area where i'm seated at (once again,i regret from buying a ticket to the Upperbox -__-).

There's this one song that I currently like by the time she sang it live called "Catch Me".I like the lyrics of it especially the chorus;it reminds me of someone though hihi :> Also, she sang her new single which I really like as well called "Heart Attack" from her upcoming 4th album. Other than that, she performed her own cover of Turn Up The Music by Chris Brown and Rihanna and it was awesome.Here's a clip of the performance:



And for her final act, she sang a medley of Remember December and Give Your Heart A Break.

Ergo,that's how the show ended.Yeah,it gave me a lot of 'if only' 'cause i never really thought that it was that great! ughh,i would've gone to her soundcheck party if only i had no classes anymore,i could've gone for patron instead or buy the m&g package,if only..ughhh,ok quit it now.;/ Anyway,she said that she'll be coming back again..and i absolutely can't wait for it!! Oh and since her show was a blast,i decided to buy a copy of her single debut album,"Heart Attack" which comes with a poster of it. :)



So there ya have it.First concert that i've watched for this year and i loved it!I wonder who'll be next?

'til then!

Duty at the Mental.

I bet this was one of the factors that boosts this sem's stress level! At this start of the month, we had a duty at National Center for Mental Health for 2 weeks.We were at morning shift every monday to friday and our stay there has left us with a lot of learnings :) It was a different kind of experience among the other clinical areas that we've encountered.Like it wasn't the usual 'ward chores'in the hospital but it was more on patient-interaction and therapy.



so this was taken from the entrance of the hospital. Sisa was taken as a 'psych model' there representing the mentally-ill patients admitted here. Actually it was a big hospital which consist of Pavilions of different sorts of psych patients.They don't look like clinical wards though,but they look like a jailhouse which i can't believe at first sight.well anyway.


We had a tour around the hospital on the second week of our stay there. As what I've said, the patients were classified on each pavilion based on their type of mental illness/cases.



There's even a Shangrila pavilion in the area but no,it's not for the elite! Haha :)) This is a pavilion for teenage boys. There's also another pavilion there in which they used to call it as "the Boracay pavilion". It is where regressed patients(adult patients whose intellectual thinking has regressed into a baby) stay.Since those patients think that they're still in the mother's womb, all of them are naked and mostly are in fetal position in the sides of the room.



Sooo this is our assigned pavilion aka the Chinese Pavilion!! This is were the Chinese men who have schizophrenia are admitted and as what they've said,it is the most calm pavilion among the others--And i kind of agree with that.Because as we toured along the hospital,we saw several patients who are being restrained (male or female)or isolated in a room due to mania. It was terrifying. Although we can never escape from seeing things like that there..seeing the eccentricity of all things. Honestly i was very nervous when we entered the Pav. for the first time.The patients were so eccentric at its finest! Some are naked,some have their own imaginary friends...And when they eat,it's like there's no tomorrow as they can finish 10 cups of rice,dammmn! o_O However, my views on them has changed during our sessions with them. Indeed,you'll never know them once you get familiar to them. Our sessions with them includes a lot of therapeutic actvities like dancing,singing,recreation,entertainments,arts&crafts and more.



Here's a bunch of crayons that we provided for their play therapy.It's actually one of those activities that I got impressed at them :) We played 2 songs (a happy and a sad song) and while it was playing, they need to draw something of what's on their mind then after that we get to interpret their drawings.There was really a meaning behind what they've drawn that time like as for my patient,he drew the Philippine flag because this is something that he usually sees before (he once told me that he often goes to Luneta Park).So yeah, it was neat! :-)

After several of therapy sessions, we had a Socialization Party as a means of ending our interaction phase to our patients. It was kind of emotional to my other classmates since they really got attached with their patients.Well, let alone that they were very nice people! They may act odd but they're nice to talk to. maloloka ka sa mga ginagawa nila,haha! :))
aaand that ends our duty day for the whole schoolyear!


'til then!

Coffee&Company

It's week 2 of uber stress and it's at its peak already.-__- Well, we've been having duty at the Mental Hospital lately and so far,it has been a fun experience.Setting up some therapeutic activities with the schizophrenic patients was hyped! :)) At first, you may see them frightening based on their crazy not-so-down-to-earth attitudes.But once you get to interact with them,you'd realize that these people are just mentally disturbed resulting from either abuse or trauma in their lives.So yea,too much mental stuff for now--i'll be writing a separate entry for this next time!


Anyway,part of the busyness last week was our Thesis title defense last Saturday and it all went great!! 9 BALLS babyyyy! The sweat of revising topics on the last minute and staying up late just to do this whole thing has paid of very well! :') Although we were warned about how bloody our topic is for some reasons.haha!Either way,cheers to TEAM FLOATING!! (yours truly and Rio C.) :)

Another happy part that we had last Saturday was that i had a cocol date with Sam YG together with my crew friends! :">

so..i met him again.♥ Being with a public figure has always been starstruck-ing especially when it's your celeb crush :">
It was a day full of pick-up lines and chitchatting.He was very sweet and entertaining if you asked me.and i bet it's one of those moments that i'll never forget about him. ;) Indeed,"wag ka na sa ibang lalaki,dun ka na sa dj".HAHAHA! There's gonna be more to come soon,hopefully!♥

On the other hand, there will be an open house at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf on March 17 from 10am to 11:30am featuring their new drinks.





I thank coffee for keeping me company throughout this hectic week--or perhaps i should say,a HECTIC SEMESTER.The brew of the coffee beans just kept me awake and has made me a lark of my own for the sake of school stuff. Hence,i can't wait for this to end next week!!.it's just one more push and i'm done!


'til then!

PS: HAPPY 13!! #3rd ;)

Valentine came so sweet :">

Actually,it was pre-valentine's that was special but the whole hearts' week this time has been fun and surprising! :) Last Wednesday (021313), me and my crew friends went to Eastwood for the Good Day Coffee Event hosted by Andi Manzano, Jasmine Curtis and Sam YG ❤

We were a bit late then 'cause it was traffic and we came in from school. Thankfully,we made it there! as in..superrr thankful talaga.And things went very unexpected as it seems...i met him again :""> I'm the one wearing the MOMOL shirt this time so yeah.we kind of switched,haven't we?haha!He was really nice and so was Andi;unfortunately, we weren't able to talk to Jasmine 'cause we somehow had a limited stay at the backstage. But anyway, i'm very happy enough to be with Sam again! ;)

After that,me and friends dined-in at Pizza Hut.Indeed,it's been a blessed and fun night :")

The following day was V-day and we had duty at the health center during the morning.Then in the evening,me and my family went on a buffet dinner at Yakimix.obviously,i had a date with buffet and it was a night of pigging-out with the Japanese foods and lovely desserts (especially eclairs!). Do check out my instagram for my pictures.Aside from that,i do get to greet Sam on that day and he did the same thing to me as well.In fact,his message was sweet :"> ❤ sigh,i hope there's more to come soon.
Perhaps i should leave this entry hanging on for now.haha ;p So far, i can't believe that Feb has ended so fast?let alone that it was just only 28 days.Or maybe everyone is just plain busy as always?thesis.unstable schedule.requirements.more shizz to come. and i say #kalma to all of 'em.

'til then!

there is FUN in spite of the difficulties :)

I used to truly abhor my schedule in school because it's been hectic and very unstable!It's like we have a new sched. every week as we need to adjust for our prof's availability--oh wait,it's professor/nun or clinical instructor T_T As i said last time,i was in the midst of completing my requirements for the first half of the sem plus my midterms which kept being postponed.It's very annoying to the fact that you keep on reviewing every night and then it keeps being postponed T__T Thus until now,it is my third week of having our midterm exams.ughh.It was also our university week last week so we had a UFAIR(Jan.25-27) for St.Paul Week.There were a bunch of food stalls,girly accessory stalls and other fair booths&rides for the highschool students.And also,the fair was sponsored by Smart wherein they gave out a tumbler and a Jump In SIM card.

here's a pic of me and ze crew at the SMART photobooth.it's fun to LIVE MORE with SMART!
The cash was really crucial when it comes to univ.fair especially when you needed to exchange 'em first into chits before buying something! -__- I kind of spent a lot of accessories and stuff then.Haha,di bale,paminsan-minsan lang naman toh :))So here's what i bought:


wooden bear ring and golden metal "DREAM" bracelet from Pop.Junk.Love

Paulinian shirt from The Perfect White Shirt

blue M&M earrings from Carla's Clay Creations

and this snakey-snake ring from Splatt MNL :)

There was also a concert in school last Saturday featuring Silent Sanctuary and Up Dharma Down.i didn't watch it 'cause i wasn't a fan of either of the bands.i'll make it up to next time! Haha,hopefully my batch2014 would break the rules and set up another univ.fair next year! ;))

And besides UFAIR,there's another moment that made my week great last time---i met Sam YG again!! :"""> It was last Thursday when he had a talk at Palma Hall while i was with my HS friend then.I really didn't expect that i would be able to talk to and meet him again..sigh,thank you lord. 0:")There's got to be more to come soon!❤

i hope that this would be the last week of my very busy week.and to catch up further for my previous entries,here's a flashback of New Year's Eve at home..


'til then! :)
