7 Random Facts About Chin:

1. i collect black and white cow-themed things. currently in my possession i own: a

cow lamp, a cow bank, and a stuffed cow named cindy. and embarrassingly enough,

i used to draw comics of cows. i'm obsessed! i really think they're cute, and i want to

go to NZ just so i can see them personally. i hear cows are friendly, docile creatures.

i can't wait!!

2. i am such a klutz. i seem to have a penchant for bumping into table corners,

doorknobs, car doors, cabinets and chairs, tripping over stairs, wires, potholes and

even my own slippers, and even sometimes my ankle just gives in and it twists itself.

and then there's the fact that i bruise really easily. every week i'm sporting a new

bruise, and half the time i don't even realize i do have one 'til someone points it out.

maybe it's a weird incoordination disorder or something. i mean, it's so bad that it

has to have a name, right? i therefore call it… Clumsy-itis Klutz-is. or CK.

3. the fates have decreed it so, that the younger sister shall have the height the

older sister so craves. in other words, my sister grew over the summer. AND she's

now taller than me. AND thinner. *cry* WHY, fates, WHYYYY??? *shakes fists*

heck, i can still order her around. bwahahaha!! … unless… she chooses to use her

still-increasing height and body mass against me. eep.

4. when i was little, i used to want to be a nun. or an actor. even a dancer. thank

goodness i didn't pursue that first career choice. *sweatdrop* although i *did*

initially want to be a doctor. and now that i'm an RN, my current career choice isn't

that far off. though sometimes i dream of pursuing photography, cooking, and yeah.

modelling. >:)

5. my biggest fear (aside from cockroaches, heights, and abandoned carnivals) is to

be alone. i can't help it. i'm naturally a people person, and to surround myself with

few but true friends and family is my ultimate high. take them away, and i'll be but

an empty shell of myself, depressed and withdrawn. i NEED people. i do.

(thank you, friends, boyfriend, and family!:D)

6. i have my dark side too. i've always had a fascination for the dark, the macabre,

horror and the supernatural. witches, warlocks, vampires, shapeshifters, murderers,

ghosts, you name it. i devour books by stephen king, clive barker, anne rice, and

compilations of alfred hitchcock. i can't help it. i am lured by the unknown and the

mysterious, fiction or not.

7. i forever will be annoyed by stupid people. people that don't know what they're

talking about, *slow* people, people who go "huh?" all the time, people that think

they're better than everyone else, people who are just plain STUPID. here's an

example of an encounter i had with a stupid person, just to illustrate my point.

At Butterbean:
Me: (ooh brownies~! whee) Miss, (points to a certain brownie) What's this?
Butterbean Employee(BBE): That's our brownie of the day.
Me: Hmm…(mouth watering) okay. What is it?
BBE: Brownie.
Me: (slightly annoyed) No, what IS it?
BBE: A brownie.
Me: (Really annoyed) No no, WHAT IS IT? (close to screaming)
BBE: Brownie. (Getting annoyed also)
Me: (Close to tearing my hair) I *KNOW* it's a brownie. What's ON it?
BBE: (dim flashbulb) Creamcheese.
Me: (sputter sputter) Fine. I'll take one, and a chocolate chip cookie too.
~end

see what i mean? i don't get it. of COURSE i know it's a brownie. DUHHH! what am i?

stupid?? i still get so annoyed everytime i pass by the butterbean stall. *shakes fist

at stupid BBE* if only their brownies and cookies weren't that good, i'd never buy

from them ever again. IDIOTS.

boo retake, and then some

i swear i haven't picked up a reviewer for 3 days. THREE days! and the board exam is in ten days. hnh. *someone's* not worried, ey?

but then again the days are filled with cleaning up after angkong, feeding him, giving him his meds and keeping him company(i.e. making *bantay* and making sure he doesn't fall off his bed). but life's funny. since angkong's illness, it kinda brought the whole family together. well, we were all "together" enough in some sense but there wasn't the family-ness of it all. i guess you could say we were sort of dysfunctional. well, my family received the worst end of it i guess. living with the in-laws ain't pretty, you can bet on that. even i can sense some tension between my dad and his mother. we haven't got a place of our own yet after all these years, and the friction between my mom and my ama has increased since. and me? in the middle of it all. i'd rather not elaborate on that then.

back to being thankful. maybe to some degree ama's thankful of our presence around the house now. extra eyes and hands to help take care of angkong. she's in a more understanding and patient state of mind since kongkong's been sick, and if ama's happy, everyone's happy. thank god. *_*

thaaaat's why..i have to pull my own share of work, around the house and outside. although my parents(and come to think of it, everyone else) tell me they're not pressuring me on my nursing career, i just KNOW for sure they're waiting for the day i can finally leave for the states. that would then mean a higher income for the family, a better life, and a new start. T^T and i'm so fricking scared! is this what it is like to be an adult? noooooooooooooooooT^T responsibilities scare me! and i'm a nurse! i'll be responsible for other people's LIVES!!

the thought is daunting , i know. i am SO SCARED of what's out there. i am. but i know i would have to face it someday, and until that day does come, i'll be preparing myself for the task.

i think i can do it. i know i can do it. i have to!

first post (yeah, how *original*)

yaaaay~!

i SWEAR i'm keeping this blog this time. all the others have been too much of a hassle for me to keep up. wait..how many were they? *starts counting*… pooh. nevermind. lol.

i've been too busy to keep up a blog anyway. between studying for the NLE retake and the july CGFNS, and applying for a job AND sorting my papers for abroad, i just haven't had the time. i swear i'm stretched too thin these days. people are expecting a LOT of things from me, and i'm starting to wonder if i'll be able to pull it all off. since last august it has been crazy NONSTOP studying for NCLEX… *sigh*

sometimes i feel as if i'm losing myself. and i'm scared. it's like i don't know WHAT i want anymore.  or who i am. i get so confused and depressed sometimes. and once in a while i DO wish circumstances were a lot more different. but yeah. have to live with the present now. hahaha…

 :(… now *i'm* depressed!
