Feb. 29.

Only happens once in 4 years so I'm blogging today. Nothing good to say though. Basta may entry ako on Feb. 29. Next year wala na :12

Happy Birthday to the leap year celebrants! Celebrate your birthdays quadruple as much!

Such a useless entry but whutev, it's Feb 29.

Why does shopping make you feel better when you’re sad?

I personally can’t explain why but it sure does work for me. Now I realized, I should keep myself from being sad because it also means bad news for my wallet. Sad feelings, broken wallet - double damage, not good.

I wish Paypal had a time lock option where you could choose to only allow one withdrawal per month. I guess that would be such a big help for me. I’ve been telling myself to stop spending my Paypal funds so that I could get that “something” I’ve been eyeing for months now. But Ebay & Paypal are such bad influences that i end up spending my supposed savings on not-so-important stuff from Ebay.

When will I ever learn to restrain myself!

I had wanted my room to be painted with very light pink walls, dark violet cabinets, and dark pink ceiling, bed and furniture. Unfortunately, they made it light pink walls, dark pink cabinet & ceiling, and violet bed and furniture. I know it sounds like there isn't much difference but my point was, I wanted dark pink to be the dominant color that's why I wanted my furniture and bed to be dark pink!:m Plus, the dark pink and dark violet wasn't as dark as I expected it to be, it was kinda creamy dark pink and violet. I said I wanted solid dark pink and violet.:yok

I know I should speak up and complain because that's not what I had instructed but I know my mom would still blame me for not showing up as often as I should while the paint job was on going, so it'd still probably be my fault in the end. Guh.:k

I work in a public hospital, a Provincial hospital to be exact, so it's only natural that most of our patients are from the lower class in society, and therefore cannot afford to buy all the medications that the doctors prescribe. Mahal nga naman ang mga antibiotics ngayon, each vial costs atleast 300php which is to be given every 6 or 8 hours. 300php x 4/day, do the math. Anyway, as nurses and members of the health care system, it is our duty to help these patients get well, kaya kung may mga pasyenteng hindi talaga makakaaford ng gamot, binibigyan namin from our extra stocks.

However, may mga abusado talaga. Like this woman, who's son is admitted for ortho reasons. The doctor prescribed a pain killer every 8 hours. Dati, nung bago pa sila at di siya nakabili ng gamot, binibigyan namin siya from our extra stocks. Pero after a few days, napansin namin, na di na siya bumibili ng pain killers, kasi she' s relying on our extra stocks. At pag di nabigyan ng pain killer yung anak niya, magrereklamo siya sa station kung bakit daw walang gamot ang anak niya. And she implies na sa ibang shift daw, binibigyan lang siya from the extra stocks. Siya pa ang galit. Hello?! Abuso na kaya yan! The extra stocks are for patients who have no means of acquiring medications. She obviously can afford to buy the medicines but she chooses not to because she relies on the free stocks. Unfair yun para sa ibang mas nangangailangan. It's so unfair. Nakakasira ng araw. Malas talaga siya pag kami ang on duty kasi we really make her buy the medicines. Pain killers aren't exactly expensive especially that her son's medications have been shifted from intravenous to tablets na. I know it's wrong to deprive patients from medications but I also think it's wrong to tolerate such actions. Hindi lang naman ako ang nakakapansin, pati staff nurses na rin. I hope they've been discharged over the weekend so that I won't have to deal with her tomorrow.:nye

I can't cook. I can't cook to save my dear life. I can't even cook scrambled eggs without burning half of it. I'm probably gonna die an old maid coz no one would want to marry someone who couldn't cook! I'm allergic to kitchens, I stay away from them as much as I can. Kitchens are my least favorite part of the house. I'm not sure how I'm gonna survive when I move out and get a place of my own. I'm probably gonna die of hypertension or kidney failure from eating too much instant noodles and canned goods...and an old maid. Sad.:e

The landlady of this apartment we're renting knows that we'd soon be moving out in a few weeks and a lot of people are quite interested to rent the place after us. She randomly shows up at our doorstep with strangers who like to look at the place. I don't even know if that's allowed, eh we're still renting the place so it's technically ours so she practically has no right to bring random people to see our place. INVASION OF PRIVACY! I don't care if it's legal but I don't want strangers entering our house on random days.

May namimiss akong kakwentuhan. Unfortunately, things aren't the same anymore so hindi na siya pwedeng distorbohin. Plus the fact that it's actually my fault. It's been a year (or years na ba?) Oh well. I miss talking to you.

I skipped work yesterday and stayed in bed the whooooooole day. I got up at 7pm which explains why it's 6am already but I'm still wide awake. Mom says we're supposed to go somewhere at 10am so I'm still contemplating whether to go to sleep or just wait for 10am.

till then, siao!

I know I just got a new phone a few months ago and that my new phone is working perfectly fine, but I’m really craving for a metallic pink flip phone right now.

Ok. Ok.

I used to have a pink Motorola Razr V3x: a metallic pink flip phone, and I gave it up for an SE P990i for the wi fi features. So why am I looking for the same kind of phone? Simply because I miss having a pink flip phone.

The Pink Razr is still here at home, but I want a new one! I want a pink SE z750.

You know that feeling when you want something so bad that when you see that thing your heart beats faster and you hold your breath for no reason at all? That’s what I’m feeling right now.

I.seriously.want.that.phone.

Plug muna: VS Pink with a Splash FRESH & CLEAN is up for sale. Details below.

Last weekend, I woke up to extremely swollen eyes that my mom thought I've been crying all night, eh night shift duty kaya ako so how could I be crying?:howel The swelling didn't disappear til dinner time so it was clearly not just an ordinary puffed eyes from oversleeping. I recounted the food that I ate during our night shift but all I took was coffee, biscuits and Mr.Chips so malamang hindi yun dahil sa mga kinain ko. Aside from that, i couldn't recall anything unusual that happened the previous day so since we cuoldn't figure anything out, I just took an antihistamine to relieve whatever allergic reaction I was going through. Fortunately, it was gone when I woke up on Sunday so natuloy din ang parlor day ko :)

I went on my usual afternoon duty last Monday, came home at 11pm, cleaned my face, took a bath then applied moisturizer. I went online for a few hours before I went to bed at around 4am. When I woke up at 11am, MY EYES WERE SWOLLEN AGAIN!:11 I recalled what I did before going to bed and then it came to me, Olay Total Effects. Yun pala ang culprit!:16

Kasi I was reading the forums last week and read so many raves about the product at since inggitera ako, bumili rin ako. I first tried it when I got home after my night shift duty and applied it before I went to bed which explained the first incident. I didn't apply it on Sunday night but I applied it on Monday night after I took a bath, which caused the second incident.:gor

I'm super sure na authentic yung nabili ko coz as what the forum advised, it was beter to buy it from Mercury Drug kasi siguradong hindi fake. And so I did.

Bakit namaga ang eyes ko?
I believe I'm allergic to the product and I'm one of the unfortunate few na hindi hiyang sa Olay Total Effects.

Do I hate Olay Total Effects?
No. Malas lang talaga ako.

Will I recommed this product to others?
Yes. Because despite of what happened to me, marami pa rin talaga ang nagsasabing maganda ang effect nito.

Will I try the product again?
Hell no. (But there's a gentle formula for sensitive skin and I'm thinkin of giving that a try but I just might find another brand of moisturizer instead.)

What did I get from this experience?
-Swollen eyes. Twice.
-The lesson that not everything that works for other people will work on you.
-And the discovery that Olay Total Effects doesn't work for me. Now I can move one with my life. (Matagal na kasi akong curious sa product na to).

and.....


New clothes!!:3

Since I wasn't able to go on duty today (kasi ayoko namang maduty with hideous eyes. plus the neverending questions), I went out with my mom. Window shopping. Eating. Shopping.:2

So basically, today wasn't so bad after all. Sana lang ok na to bukas para makabalik nako sa duty.:yok I'm overdosing myself with antihistamines to speed up the effects. Bad idea, but I'm desperate!:waa

---------------------------------



For those interested, the Victoria's Secret Pink with a Splash FRESH & CLEAN is up for sale!:19

I got them from ebay.com for $60 ($40 for the cologne & $20 for shipping) so I'm selling them at 900Php each including shipping na. The yellow one got sold and the pink one is, after all, going to my kid cousin. So only the FRESH & CLEAN (blue cap) is available.

This one smells like D&G Light Blue but lighter and more feminine. Fresh and clean talaga:f (The yellow one was citrusy while the pink one was sweet)

Why am selling it? Because I'm fickle minded when it comes to colognes. One second I'm obsessed with this scent and the next thing you know, I have a new favorite scent na. Nagwewelga ang mom ko everytime she sees a new cologne in my dresser which is why I have to keep her off my room at times.

I'm actually eyeing another scent na naman which is why I'm letting these 3 go.

Payments can be sent thru BPI deposit or Gcash. I can accept Paypal payments but I'll have to charge $24 if through Paypal kasi may fees and deductions when you withdraw your funds, diba?:23

So yun, comment nalang dito if you're interested :)

I have done things in the past that I deeply regret today. To others, they may not seem such a big deal, but personally, it affects the way things are right now.

Sure, I can live with how things are, but it life would've been better if I had or had not done certain things in the past. I wish I hadn't hurt certain people. And although they may not have told me, I know I did, and these are the things I want to take back. I wish I had been wiser before. I wish I had though of the consequences of my actions before doing them. And I wish I knew I'd regret these things in the future so I wouldn't have done them at all.

But these kinds of things are undoable and the only thing left to do is to apologize. I just might do that.

I wish I have the courage.

Before anything else..

Nag-order ako ng Melissa Love System Jelly Sneakers online. Year-end gift ko sana sa sarili ko. Sa lahat ng online shops na tinanungan ko, size 9 nalang talaga yung natitita para sa clear pink. Alam kong size 8 talaga dapat ang size ko, pero wala nga, at matigas ang ulo ko, kaya kinuha ko pa rin ang size 9.

Dumating yung package kanina. Pagsukat ko, ayun, maluwag nga :yok

Since di ko naman siya magagamit, benta ko nalang ulit. Any takers?:3

First entry of the year. Super late, I know.

I'm on duty most of the days so that takes up 8 hours of my day. The remaining 16 hours is spent sleeping or lurking around multiply for new stuff on sale. At medyo nakakalimutan ko lang namang magcheck ng blog. So bad.:yok

As for my duty, it's becoming more enjoyable now that my old duty buddies are back. I'm not alone anymore.:9 But in every story, may kotrabida talaga, well, di naman siya kontrabida, nakakainis lang. Di siya tumutulong sa mga gawain sa station. Like we're all busy giving out medications and she sits there at the bench DANGLING HER LEGS! Ang kapal!So frustrating.:m

Anyway, enough about her.


Bumili nga pala ako ng bagong planner. Actually, I traded it with someone else. So hindi na BDJ yung planner ko this year. It's a Diva Planner from Fully Booked. It's smaller and lighter than BDJ, parang notebook lang pero cute din ang layout. Yun nga lang, wala na siyang coupons.





HELP.

I need suggestions for my wall color. My floor is black. What do you suggest my wall color should be?

Im planning to have one color for my walls, another color for my window and door, another color for my ceiling, and another color my my furniture. So I need a combination of 4 colors.

Help me please!

My mom is giving me the freedom to do anything I want with my room but I can't seem to think of anything right now and they'll be needing the details in a few days. Suggestions please!:3

I'm in such a bad dilemma right now.

I can't choose between getting new shades or getting a new watch. It's between Oakley or Technomarine since they're both in the same price range.

I have a perfectly fitting sunglasses with quite a few unnoticeable scratches and I just recently bought a Relic watch so if you're asking which one I need more, the answer is I dont know.

If my mom were to answer, I don't need both and I can live without both.

But I want to reward myself for a month's worth of hardwork so this is gonna be my first major purchase of the year. And since this is indeed a major purchase (for me atleast), then I want to make sure I'm making the right decision. I don't want to end up regretting not getting the other one. Sure I'll be able to buy both, but not right now. Right now, zee budget is just enough for either of them, not both.

I want want want one of them but I can't choose!!!

Late last month, I placed an order for a set of 3 Victoria’s Secret Pink with a Splash Colognes on ebay.com since I couldn’t find a local online shop that sells them for a reasonable price. I also wanted to roadtest my Paypal funds so eventhough shipping was quite expensive, I went through with the order. Withdrawals to local bank accounts still wasn't allowed last month so I had no other options but to spend my Paypal funds online.

The seller said she was gonna ship the items through the US postal service priority mail, and knowing how crappy our post office is, I gave her my aunt’s address since they live in a hotel so there would be less chances of my mail getting lost than having them deliver it to my address. I received a confirmation message from the USPS last Jan25 that my items have been paid by the sender and will soon be shipped (sosyal talaga ang US post office, may email confirmation pa). The seller told me it would take around 15-20 days for my package to arrive so knowing that the package wouldn’t be here til mid-February, I kinda forgot to inform my tita that I addressed my package to her home.

Since I’ve been kinda pre-occupied with my volunteer work these past few weeks, I never got to talk to my tita until last night when they crashed our house for dinner. I remembered about the package but decided to tell her before they went home nalang kasi ang dami niyang kwento. After dinner, I was helping my cousin with her Math exams when she asked me if I’ve heard about her “surprise package” from an unknown sender. Apparently, my package had arrived last Monday but since I haven’t told her about it, she had no idea who the package was from. The sender was Chinese so she could hardly pronounce the name. She called her husband in the US to ask if any of them sent a package but no one did. She set aside the colognes and decided not to use them until she found out where it came from. When they learned that it was mine after all, my cousin got pissed by the fact that the package wasn’t theirs after all Heheh. She was eyeing for the pink one pa naman daw.:29 Now that I got my package from them, she's still pestering me to sell the pink one to her. Eh she's still in 6th grade! I told her she should just wear her Nenuco colognes kasi it's more suitable for her age. She said nagsawa na daw siya kasi yun din gamit ng teacher niya. Do 6th graders wear Victoria's Secret?:20

Now that the mystery has been solved, they can all sleep in peace and I shall go get ready for my night shift duty.:3

Just got back from my 2-day trip with my 10-year old cousin. Went there as her chaperone for the Regional Presscon coz her dad won't allow her to go without a chaperone. Her mom couldn't go because her lola will arrive a day after they're supposed to leave for Cebu. Buti nalang her Ate was ever-willing to go to Cebu for a few days =p

They're gone the whole day, and luckily for me, chaperones aren't allowed at the contest site so I don't have to go with them at the site. Nagpresscon din ako sa malls. Now I feel I have enough footwear to last me till end of next year. I had to hide some stuff I bought coz my mom would probably freak out when she finds out all the nonsense stufft I've bought. It helped that I brought a half-empty large backpack so it still had room to hide some of my stuff. I think I spent more than what I'm supposed to spend. Goodbye, spare cash. Now I feel guilty. No more online shoppping this month. Bukas pwede na ulit kasi December na eh.Heheh I finally had a chance to use my cwedit card since I found the the black Devil Skin for his Ipod at iStore that he's been looking for since last year. We're not really allowed to use our cards for shopping, pang "emergency purposes" lang daw, but since I might run out of cash if I used my own money to get that case, she allowed me to use my card. Now I wonder, if I wanted a super-duper-uber gorgeous bag and feel that I just have to get it or else I'd die, would that be considered as an emergency? :)

Anyway, last night was my first time to travel alone. I thought it was no big deal since I've been travelling the same route for the past few years with my mom or friends so I thought it wouldn't make any difference if I did it alone. But I was wrong. Maybe I just wasn't used to travelling alone but I got pretty worried last night. Large crowds make me uncomfortable. When I boarded the boat and settled in my bed, I felt releived at first since my bunks mates were females so I kinda felt safe. But then an hour after the boat left the port, there were these teenage boys that started roaming around. Paranoid as I am, I transfered my bags near my head part so that all my stuff were at my eye level. I covered my face with my jacket's hood so that they can't see my face. Unfortunately, of all the places to tambay, dun pa sa harap ko sila nagtambay. They practically slept there na rin. I know they're harmless and they probably just wanted fresh air(kasi mahangin dun sa lugar ko) but they can't blame me for suspecting them for something else. And they were right infront of me, whispering and staring like I was a specimen in science class.

When I woke up at about 3am, the guys were gone and my stuff were still intact and complete. Good, so I went back to sleep. When I woke up an hour after, I heard someone say "Makikita mo talaga sa paa kung maganda siya o hindi" Hello? You're infront of me, I can hear you! :whatever: I thought they were the same group, but when I got up to get ready to leave, I realized ibang group na pala sila. This time, they were young adults slightly older than me. When I was almost done fixing, one of the guys came over and said his friend wanted to ask for my name. And this time, the people around us were staring at him kaya parang nahiya siya at umupo sa tabi ko. :mad: My high-school teacher who was on the same boat was also watching us so it felt kinda weird. He started to ask me where I was from and where I was studying, etc. I, on the other hand, was not in my normal state of mind since I just woke up so I gave him one-word answers. He introduced me to his "friend" nearby and I said hi. Unfortunately, right now, I have no idea what their names were. I do remember that the guy who approached me was cuter than his "friend". Shortly after that, the coast guard announced that we've arrived in Dumaguete so I immediately left without saying goodbye (they stayed coz they were goin to Dapitan). It's so weird to hear a group of guys talking about your feet. It's scarry, annoying, and maybe a little wee bit flatterring but they don't get pogi points for that. I got off from the boat still shocked with what happened but thankful that I survived my first trip alone. Next time, I'd probably go back to travelling with my brother. It's much safer. No feet talk when my brother's around. :biggrin:

NOW NA, AS IN NOW NA TALAGA: HOSTEES, PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAILS. MAY NANGGUGULO. I NEED YOUR REPLIES ASAP.
