before anything else.. let me start my post with a warm greeting for my good friend.. mimah!!...





anyweiz,, our monthly exam was finaly over!! hahahaha.. wweee.. after days of studying.. reading.. delays of exam due to class suspension.. finally prelims na! we had our regular class yesterday for both math and botany and the results of the exam were already given.. don't ask me about how my exam in botany was.. i failed.. that's all.. no need to post here any figures,, my math exam was also bad.. if u were to consider 50% of the overall items,, i passed.. but since we were getting the 60%,, then i failed.. monthly grade for math was given.. well,,hmm.. basta.. i think i should REALLY do better on the prelims,, God help me, i shud really do good on botany.. i don't want to failed the subject.. the way i hate the subject.. it was really hard to study when ur not really interested on it..

never in my childhood days,, had i imagined myself saying.. "when i grow up, i wanted to be a pharmacist!".. and never in my 4th year days did i told myself that i will take up B.S Pharmacy.. never.. i was really planning to take up nursing.,. but i failed the entrance exam here in ust. good thing i failed! auq na ng nursing eh!! well, actually.. i really wanted HRM-hotel and restaurant management.. ala lang.. i'm just interested with the course.. but yeah, i don't want to disappoint my parents so being that good daughter,, i took pharmacy.. i don't regret being in this course,, i'm just wishing that i'll appreciate this course..

i was browsing on my pharma book last night and i saw the chapter where all the subjects that i would be taking up to my 4th year were discussed.. i was telling myself... "kaia ko ba toh? mabuhay pa kaia ko hangang 4th year nito.. " i wanted to give up reading all my subjects.. pharmaceutical calculations, inoragnic chem, qualitative chem, orgnic chem, biostatistics, etc.. man, help me.. really.. whew!

but then, there's no easy course.. as my mom said before.. "walang madaling course,, lahat mahirap.. nasayo na un kung pano mo pahihirapin ung cors na gusto mo.." yup.. my mom's right.. maybe i need to adjust.. i'm no longer a highschool student ,, a student who, even has exams on the following day can be seen loitering around rob or mcdo till 7:30pm.. no longer that student who take the tests without reading anything.. i never failed in hs.. but if i'm not gonna improve my study habits.. i will surely fail my course.. i can do this! with just a little touch of perseverance.. kaia ko toh!! i'm going to have my botany book as my new pocket book.. enough of reading bob ong's books,, [i already finished reading "alamat ng gubat" in just 1hour.. and "stainless longanisa" for just 1day...hehehe..la lang.. sharing lang..] i think its time for joseph mauseth masterpiece to be the "apple of my eyes" nyaks! hehehe..

up to know,, my knee really hurts!! with my clumsiness,, nadapa po ako sa ust.. huhuhu.. as in dapa! damn that sidewalk!! i was walking along the sidewalk,, dun sa may church when i got out of balance.. i was with jelly+cindy+rachel that time,, +the 2guys and 3 gurls at our back,, they even stopped!! we can't stop laughing about waht happend,, specially when i saw my wounded knees,, huhuhu.. it really hurts,, swear!! good thing i was with my friends.. kasi if ever i was alone and nadapa ako,, i will surely cry!

after almost three weeks of not going to lipa,,finally i'm back! geez,, i really miss this place.. me and gecai came here yesterday at around 8pm,, trafic sa sto tomas.. we ate at red ribbon and went to lasalle after,, we were able to go inside sentrum,, it was past 8 then.. sugarfree was singing,, we looked for rizza and we saw her.. aun! iritan pag nakakakita ng kakilala,, its as if we haven't seen each other for a year.. hehehe..i wen't home at around 9:30pm..




i was able to talked to rizza on the fone a while ago.. matagal na din akong hindi nakakapagtelebabad,, hehe.. we talked about different stuffs.. and most of it were about.....him.
with gecai and rizza's "words of wisdom".. haha.. "words of wisdom?" basta,, they made me realize that i shud not hurt myself too much.. yeah.. they're right.. y do i kept on crying for him? y shud i shed tears for someone who doesn't desrve them? and y do i kept on holding on to someone who can't see my worth? yeah..i've had enough..

just got home .. i was really too tired.. tired from laughing, tired from my long trip .. tired of walking.. tired with studying for our monthly.. and too tired waiting for the wrong person..



a while ago was our exam in math.. hai.. no comment.. i told you,, i really don't like math.

after the exam, i met up with pat+ana+marc,, total laughtrip!! nosnstop laughing,,! hahaha.. there's really no dull moment with pat and ana. they were really funny, lalo na pag piangtutulungan nila si marc.. i can't stop laughing .. we showed pat , the beauty.. ehem.. the beauty? of ust.. hehehe.. la lang,, we just laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh..and marc treated us for ice cream hehehe.. gekai was also with us.. then i went home after..



tomorrow, will have our so called "thomasian walk" its were all freshmen will walk on the "arch of the centuries" the former entrance of ust when it was still in intramuros.. during the spanish regime. it's were rizal and the other famous people from ust used to walk,, hehehe,, it's a sign daw na ur a thomasian na.. but after the thomasian walk,, there will be a freshemn's night.. i'm not going to attend.. actually, me and gekai were planning to go to lipa ryt after the walk,, we'll not attend the mass na.. hehehe... mga pasaway! la lang,,


"waiting for you is like waiting for a rain to fall on this drought.. useless and disappointing" - a cinderella story..

this line from that movie suddenly popped in my mind.. i can never forget this line.. it really strucked me the moment sam montgomery [hillary duff] uttered it in the movie,, i even watched the movie several times just to get this line.. i cud really relate to this eh,, i mean.. it's not really easy to wait for a person you know will never love you in return,, it was like hurting your own self,, i once decided to wait for him.. hoping that somday, somehow.. he'll realized it.. but then,, gekay told me something.. and thanks to her,, i FINALLY realized that i was really waiting for nothing.,. truth hurts.. such a clichéd.. but sometimes.. it's the truth that will set you free... another cliché.. so now,, i'll take a break.. i admit.. letting go wasn't that easy,, it's like giving the other half of yourself away,, just when you realized that life feels so incomplete without him,, -sigh- i cud do this,,, i'll go on without you.. and i'll now do whatever i want..

just finsihed with our monthly exam for botany,, here i am now in the library together with yves and rita ,, just finished answering our online quiz on math and we'll study na for our monthly exam in botany lab.. hai.. sakit sa ulo! grabe.. i slept at around 1am just to study for our botany kec,,, i ate chocolates pa nga just to make me active and awake.. sabi kasi ni roda eh.. hehehe..




the test was.. hmm.. disaster? haha.. but compared to our "quiz" yesterday take note,, it's a 72 items quiz.. i found this monthly exam.. hmmm.. 10% easier.. hehe.. but i'm sure that i failed this exam.. unless all my wild gusses were correct! praise God! i actually finished the exam in 30mins.. so easy to guess the answers eh. haha.. we have bot lab pa later.. hai.. di na kaia ng brain cells ko!





anu ga?

i was able to read avis' post about her batanguena words.. and i remember that i also experienced the same situation here..

first,, when me and my classmate david were talking about samsung cellphones, he was asking me about the features of my phone.. then i said.."ang samsung pag pumapatak eh lumalabo ang camera.." then david said.. "anong patak?" it was then that i realized that they don't know the meaning of the word patak,, so i have to explain that patak means nahulog..

then last monday.. my classmate.. who happens to be from san juan batangas ..and we also have the same name.. joanna paola,.. were talking about batangas.. how we miss going back to our place.. she was saying that batangas was really different from here.. hindi mainit, sariwa ang hangin, safe ka kahit maglabas ng cellphone, and kahit maglakad ng gabi.. and then laughter followed when the topic about the "ga" words were opened,,, hehehe.. sometimes kasi, we can't keep ourself from saying,,"dine" "garne" specially i,, i always say those words,, aun,, we just can't keep from laughing.. then when we were going to the sports complex, we saw grace.. our classmate from lipa.. [she was from canossa academy] then i greeted her.. "anu ga?" we all laugh,, hai.. hehehe..

a while ago, when we were studying in the library grabe we are so noisy,, we did nothing but laugh. yves+rita+jeff+ancheta+sory i forgot the name of the other one,, hehe.. we were talking about different stuffs.. form dora the explorer to myhumps.. basta,, i just tot.. if we were doing this in the lrc of lasalle,, siguro na DO na kami sa sobrang ingay! we were not able to study.. hehehe..

if u were familiar with highschool musical movie then you might as well know this song.. "breaking free".. i really love that movie.. i jsut watched it a while ago on disney channel for the second time,, hehe.. just really like it,, its all about reaching your dreams and doing what you love,.

our monthly exam was scheduled on wednesday,, it was moved due to the suspension of classes last wed and thurs because of typhoon florita.. our first test would be botany lecture and botany lab! woohooo!!.. what a great start for my first test in the university.!! yeah yeah yeah.. good luck joanna!! next test for the thursday will be math,, haha,,. then on fri will be english and theo.. subjects that were supposed to be our exams this monday will be moved on next monday -(july24) that will be chem lab and chem lec.. then our test on tuesday will be pharma and fil.. so there,, i tot i will be spending my next weekend, free from studying my subjects!

i came to think of what my fil teacher told us last friday..she told us that we are all compared to a stone? stone nga ba? hhmm.. basta,,.. it's like were a stone.. a stone that' was not perfectly cut, not perfectly shined.. [hehe..basta pinakinis.. di ko lam eng eh..] but soon,, it will emerged as precious jewels,, priceless and beautiful.. according to her,, our failures and mistakes now will help us be a better person in the future,, and soon as we learn to face this trials.. we'll all be like the precious stone.. perfectly molded, and perfectly shined.. so there.. la lang,,



my sister was currently singing her own version of breaking free.. hehehe.. la lang,, ang bata nga naman oh,, whenever my sister was talking to her friends on the phone,, i can't keep from laughing,, imajin i would heard her saying that we have another sister named kyla,, then my name became nancy ,. haii,, hehehe.. then she was fund of using my cellphone to text my friends.. specially mimah.. she really like her..

i wasn't really in the mood to update now,,

we have monthly exam next week!

pray for me..

and let's pray for all the victims of Florita.

hai,, it's my status message in ym.. if only i could have the abilty to create one,, grabe i'll go back to the past and siguru itatama ko ung iba kong mga mali,, !! this past few days,, lots of things happened,, aun, medju di maganda,..

yesterday, we had our test in botany!! damn it.. out of 40 items .. 5 lang sigurado ko! huhuhu.. according kasi to ms.cobar,, our test will be bout our ass,, history of Botany and its contributors,,, so all of us expcted na the scope of the test will be all about those things.. plus.. we will only rely on our assignments,, we were not able to discuss them so we have different understandings on the history part and the contributors were only discussed by EA during our theo class,,, when our test papers were already given,, ah ah.. grabe!! we werent expecting that plants were included!!! and the history and contributors??? ewan.. basta,, bagsak ako dun!! bad trip.. kulang na lang ipasa ko ng blanko ang paper ko! then after the test discusion na namn,, dumugo na talga utak ko!!!!!!!!!

after botany came math!! isa pa tong panira.. imajin 20/45 test ko,, huhuhuhu.. so super badtrip talaga ko,,, wwaaaahhh!!

then nung pauwi na ko,, amp. inabot ako ng ulan!!!!!!!!! woohooo.. basa talga ko,, malas!! badtrip talga!!

afer dismissal,, i wasnt really in the modd.. i wasnt able to eat my lunch well.. i wanted to cry,, so un,,

i'll just edit this later,, ka chat ko kasi sina venz, almira,avis, aldrin, pat and my brother..

don't you ever wished that some things will turn out to how they were before.. hai.. tsk. argh!!

i wasn't able to sleep well last nyt,, though i feel so exhausted and my eyes wanted to rest already,, i still can't find myself to sleep.. i think i slept at around 2am,, why? hhmm,,, things kept bugging me,, my botany subject, my course, and .. "him"..



botany first,, as i mentioned in my previous posts,, this subject has been my major pain,, i don't know on how am i going to appreciate this subject if during our lectures eh i don't know what's happening,, i mean.. we're already in cell division na pala eh parang kanina lang nasa cell structure pa kami.. and then nxt week we have a quiz.. amp. how am i goin to study, if i really am so clueless about the lesson,, all i have are my notes,, which i don't know on how am i going to study them,, i know.. those were my notes so more or less i shud know whatever was written them,, kinopya ko lang namn po kung anu nasa board,, kasi hindi na ako makahabol .. so there! i have notes,, but doesn't have the slightest idea on what was written there,, enough of those complains..











MY COURSE-B.S.PHARMA..
hhmm.. ewan ko,, di ko sya feel.. hai.. hehe..



"I'm there at your side,I'm part of all the things you areBut you've got a part of someone elseYou've got to find your shining starAnd where are you now, now that I need you?Tears on my pillow wherever you goI'll cry me a river that leads to your oceanYou'll never see me fall apart"
i was currently listening to the song "emotions" by destiny child.. ala lang,, may naalala lang ko,,
