It's the return of the comebacks...

For quite sometime, I've been dreading on reviving this blog and just last night, i think all the planets aligned and made me create, basically edit, a new layout for my blog... and here it is, I'm BACK!!!

I don't really know if i should be doing this again... I've lost my writing mojo years ago, ever since leaving DLSU four-five years ago, but here I am making a new attempt. Maybe its has something to do with my plans of brushing up my english skills, but also, maybe i have lots of things to rant again. hahaha

I do enjoy writing though, either writing about something or not. It keeps me... THINKING. Thinking not only about the things that transpired earlier on, but to think if that thing made a different in my life. I do love to look back... and reminisce.

Oh well.

Too much things has happened the last 6-7 months i've been here. I've been bummed waiting for the results of my exams and thankfully passed it, had a couple of trainings to enhanced my skills, planned a lot for my future, oh, and Kris Allen winning the AI... I do feel like i've been in a cave for those months not writing about them...

I DID missed writing. And I hope this won't be my last post in a while. I'm crossing my fingers, wishing that this is indeed the start of something new. Read the full story

8 more days to go!!!

A lot of people I know are already in a terrible state of panic as the NLE becomes nearer and nearer. I was one of them, but that was a long time ago. Come to think about it, I should be worried sick about it too, but I’ve learned. It’s nothing that I should be bothered about, really!

I’m one of the chosen few from our school whom the president is expecting to TOP the board, and that should already be a big burden for me. Add to that that I’ve been reviewing for it in more than a year already, big thanks to our school for getting us an in-house review (sarcastically speaking!) and I’ve took two review classes already (thanks to last season’s scandalous mishaps). That’s too much for an ordinary guy for me to handle, right?

But I’ve already been fretting for it for almost a year now. Should I continue worrying until the day of the exam? Hell no! I came to realize that I’ll be taking this exam for myself and nobody else. Whatever the results are, I’ll gladly accept it. Topping it would just be an icing in the cake. Seems too sweet to hear, but I’m not aiming at it at all.

It’s not that I’m lowering my expectations, I’m just being realistic. With the biggest number of applicants for the Nursing Board ever in the history of the country, you’ll surely be thinking twice if you really are the ONE! With all the good schools having students taking the board, who am I from a community college to dream that high?

It seems anticlimactic, but I rather take pleasure in the remaining days reviewing than be fretting about what might happen in the coming days. I’ve been thru too much already, and it’s time to have fun. It’s time to ignore the people who are expecting much from me. I’m pretty much happy by just passing the board exam. Life’s short, I’ll rather enjoy it as much as I can!

my blog, that is. i just can't give up on it, though it takes me almost a month to create a new entry. hehe


i've really been busy these couple of weeks. i didn't enjoy my supposed 2 weeks break after my last duty a month ago. i have too much things to do that i can't even find time to unwind.


first, i've finally finished our, ooops, my thesis. well, i've done it on my own anyways, so i have the right to call it mine. haha after a lot of revisions, finally, i've finished it. and it's a fulfillment for me. i've even rewarded myself an ipod. haha top that!


then there's this org election next week where i'm supposed to run unopposed for the presidency. i don't even have a platform as of now and the election is next week. i'm doomed! well, i've only had my line-up filled just yesterday afternoon, and that ain't a good sign too. haha let's just hope everything works out fine.


another thing, i'm trying to get my back-subjects this sem in order for me to graduate next sem. well, because i have duties for 3 days a week and lectures during the remaining 2 days, the only choice i have to get those subjects is thru tutorial. I really hope it's the modular type so i don't have to spend my saturdays on school too. its just 5 units anyways. haha


then i've been assigned to a new toxic CI who doesn't even want to sit down during our duty. He wanted us to do something when we are doing nothing. Heck, he wanted us to know every detail inside the chart of our patient have. Waaahh...


Well, i really hope i do find time to keep this alive. hehe

After mga 4 years na iniwasan kong gumawa ng account sa friendster, di ko alam kung anong nakain ko kahapon at napagawa ako ng account. Super biglaan talaga, sobra! Dami ko ng invites sa email add ko, di ko lang talaga pinapansin until yesterday.


Well, maybe it has something to do with the latest person to invite me to create an account. Isa siya sa mga taong nakilala ko while on affiliation sa Mental Hospital and hirap kayang magkaroon ng communication especially when someone is from somewhere far away and whom you only knew for quite sometime. Syempre, ayaw ko din mawala yung opportunity to know people, that's why instead of going with my norms, i went out and created an account.


Saya nga e, la din masyadong bagong features ang friendster since the first time na nakita ko ito. It's almost the same thing, except before na di mo pa puede ipersonalize ang page mo and syempre, wala pa din siyang blogging features. Nasasayangan nga ako dun sa account na ginawa ng friend ko para sa akin, dahil di ko talaga maalala yung email addy na ginamit nya.


Oh well, now I'm ordinary... Haha


BTW, pa-add naman diyan total ito na rin ang topic! Nyahaha francis.chris@gmail.com

Do you think our blogs will still be around after we are gone?


It seems kind of fascinating to think about this. I mean the internet has turned to a sort of history record of everything that’s going on. As you know there are servers that save every site they encounter, web images so to speak. You can access many pages from search engines that have been cached so that if you don't find the site working that second you can click on the "cached" link and bring up what the site looked like back in time.


I wonder how long they'll hold these images of web pages and everything you and I write will be around for our children, grand children etc... Are these pages of our lives going to be a record of us for our ancestors? Will my great grand children read what I wrote here... some of them maybe thinking, "Damn, my granddad’s a mess!" ;)


Think for a moment the next thing you write on the web, what message do you want to send them? The people of your life... the people of your life’s future.... What one thing do you want to be remembered for? Can you put something like that in words? I challenge you all to think about what you write sometimes and remember that what you write may be around forever. What do you want to tell those people... if anything at all? I might have to get back to you on my answer.


Note: Nahukay ko lang to sa mga files ko kanina, di ko maalala kung napost ko na to sa old blog ko dahil kasama nya yung mga entries ko way back when. haha Read the full story

February. A lot of people called it the "Love Month". But how about for people like me who are single at this fateful month?

I never liked this month. I never liked Valentine's Day ever since i've got the brain to know about it. I never liked my teachers requiring us to make Valentine's Card to give to any of our classmates. It's plain stupidity.

I never liked wearing red, not because I don't look good on it, it's just, it's an unhappy color for me. I never liked buying roses for my teachers... not that it's required, it's just an unwritten law in my school to give every female instructor a rose, that's why...

And as i've grown up, i never really liked going out with someone on that fateful day. It's not because I'm afraid to ask someone out, I'm just not buying the whole charade that is called Valentines.

I've always been single on this day, may be that's why... Or may be I'm just apathetic enough to give it a try? Well, I did plan on going out once, but I did back up... I'm really I'm not into this thing, really...

To those who are in love, and those who really likes to celebrate Valentine's, have fun. It's your month! And to those who are single just like me, then there's may be some other measure to passed by this month without feeling like a loser on which I am feeling right now...

...to be continued.

i've passed. it's not surprising, but i've got the tendency bragging about it, so here it goes again, I'VE PASSED! nyahaha

too bad around 50 of my batchmates didn't make it. not that i can do something about it, but it's saddening. oh well, that's how life goes, sometimes you're up, and most of the times you're not!

losing 50 students means 2 blocks would be dissolved and new groups would be created for our hospital exposure next sem. sad! just when i'm almost comfortable with my group then this? :(

on other news, i got a bew phone... bought a new Nokia N70 last saturday. i was planning on buying a N71, but due to budget constraint, i've settled down for the cheaper N70... nyahaha, i've got a new phone.... that's something else to brag about!!! hehehe

what else, yeah, i've changed the studs on my ears now that the piercings are dry... it's been just a week, but i'm a fast healer, so maybe that's the reason it dried up easily... hehe

going to Mall of Asia tomorrow for the first time... well, it's the first time my scheds permit me too that's why... hehehe oh, and am going to Baguio too on friday if my mum permits.. hehe though i don't have that much dough anymore...

neways, that's it for now... later ;) Read the full story
