Confessions of a pharmacology student part 3
it's finals week this week and i'm in cramming mode. i hate being forced to study since i'm an extremely slow learner, and extreme for me is an understatement.
pharmacology is it
the moment has come and now i have to study those drugs again. i tell you they should've had a naming system for drugs similar to those in naming organic compounds. i didn't live up to my promise that i'll give myself a month's worth of preparation for the finals. now i only have 2 days left. i just finished the cardio drugs awhile ago and later i'm off with the rest. hopefully everything i've read will stick through my mind until exam day.

two week blogdown
ok i'm such a big lazy baby lately when it comes to posting here in my blog. i'm not even really sure if a have readership, but for the sake of blogging and having it available in a moments notice, i'll keep posting stuff.
getting something new
i just bought an iphone 3g 8gb last sunday. i finally got my dream phone for a long while. all that is left is my dream dslr camera. i just hope i get that this christmas. well my review so far is that i'm quite disappointed. well in the first place the battery life isn't that long. i have to charge everyday and sometimes i have to do it in school cause the phone sucks energy from the battery like a dike releasing water at full speed. another on that i didn't like is that it can't send media via bluetooth. the same is true about receiving media. on the better side, i really loved the touch screen. my previous touch screen phone sucked bigtime. the built in virtual keyboard is a big relief especially when it comes to texting and surfing.i also love the various apps i could download from the app store. overall i give it a 7/10.

1st murder down 11th street
ok, this is my promise to tell you what happened last september. to be honest it really wasn't pleasant. ok you must be wondering why it's the 1st murder down 11th street. well it's a figure of speech or some sort of read between the lines thing. it totally depends upon how you view it. i won't be posting the reason why here. well, just ask me about it and maybe if i'm ready to share it then you'll see why it's my 1st murder down 11th street.
you're like gravity, i can't help but fall for you...
obvious now isn't it?

my last ditch attempt to make a blogpost this month
hey hey! it's been more than a month since i made a post here. a lot has happened and how i wish i remember all of them to write about here and you guys have the patience to read it all.
on volunteering and service
i, together with a couple of old and new friends plus some ci's, all agreed that staying in mdc and waiting for further instructions from above would be a misuse of precious time. so we all decided that we would all go and offer our services to any one of our available options of donations centers. we left mdc at around 11am and had lunch at blue wave. our ci's gladly treated us to a wonderful and gracious pizza. wow! after that we headed straight to the mega tent at ortigas for our volunteer work. we were greeted shawn, such a wonderful and beautiful lady, and was delighted to hear that we were all in the nurisng profession. that task that was given to us was to segregate drugs. we also cut the 'banigs' of drugs into more manageable pieces. the problem, we don't have scissors. so here i was, thinking we can't work this way, so when our ci's were unable to purchase scissors in the nearby mini stop i headed out to find a way to buy some. so from ortigas extension in mega tent i walked to the nearest mini stop and inquired if they have scissors, they said 'no.' so i headed to the next mini stop which was approximately equal to mdc-moa in distance. when i arrived, they gave me the same answer and pointed to the 3rd mini stop which was already in san miguel avenue. there were and additional 2 mini stops there and both, to my severe dismay, also had no scissors to sell. so i went to 7-11 which was in between and found only 1 scissor and 3 cutters. i bought all of those plus 2 1L bottles of mineral water. on my way back i crossed upon an additional mini stop and to the most weirdest of all coincidences also had no scissors. how come they had a sudden shortage of scissors around there?! when i was about to go back, i thought of going around to get back to the mega tent since i didn't want to experience the long walks i did to get to where i currently am at that moment. what happened is a series of event of me getting lost around ortigas walking with nothing but two liters of water and my bag to burden me while finding my back to the mega tent. i found myself inside a residential village and found the exit, to my great relief, right infront of the mega tent iteslf. when i arrived at the tent, and to my other great dismay, they already had scissors to use. :( the next thing we did was to segregate all the drugs and repack them in seperate boxes to be ready for shipping. we also repacked alcohol, medical utensils like gloves and gauze, and baby diapers. the bayanihan part came when we had to load all the repacked food reliefs in the volunteer cars for shipping. we fell in line (was my grammar correct?) together with other volunteers and passed the goods from one person to another. that moment had a lot of comedy into it, courtesy of me and some other people who laughed with me. we had absolute fun with everything, especially when you share it with your friends and the people who reprimand you in classrooms. i loved every moment of it. hopefully, tomorrow would be equally or more fun in every way. i'm proud and honored to have served my countrymen in need. i know my 0.1% would go a long long way for the 100% we need to recover from this great tragdy brought about by typhoon ondoy.
here's a couple of photos of today's work:
MY THOUGHTS: how come nobody is asking for feminine napkins? there are a lot of women in those areas and they bleed every month.
SIDE NOTE: i found a bumblebee car (chevy camaro) for sale in ortigas.
the remaining of this entry and the video for the month of september will be posted tomorrow or sometime this week

MTG: Naruto Set
after a long absence, 8 days actually, i've come back to give a status report on my life.
case presentation
being a group leader for a case pres is not fun. lol. you have to coordinate everything, make sure people are doing their job without spoiling their fun and you have to be strong for everyone. show them that you're not giving up. show them that they can do it. hopefully i was efficient enough to do the job. wednesday is the day we present everything. i just hope that we're prepared on that day. because i know, the panel will destroy us if weren't.
magic the gathering: naruto set
being a big fan of naruto, i've decided to integrate my favorite anime to MTG. i used magic set editor, a program that allows you to create cards for the game based upon your creativity. actually trying to integrate the ninja world to MTG is something i found out to be really difficult. i had very little freedom to work with the techniques and characters and their abilities. i just imagined the chakra elements to be part of the 5 mana sources in the game. with a little bit of inspiration from the various episodes, manga chapters and websites i've seen, i think i've made a good start in creating my set. i'm not done yet and i'm actually aiming for a 100 card set. making the rares is easy, it's actually the commons i have difficulty creating.

confessions of a pharmacology student part 2
woah! wtf happened? i spent days and sleepless nights reading that pharma book and to my dismay, those that appeared in the exam are those specifically that i wasn't able to read. talk about being fair, right? those i've read appeared for no more than 20 questions out of the entire 100. my goal of getting an 80 crumbled right before my eyes. the faintest feeling of positive energy came from the fact that everyone i've talked felt the same. but still, you'll never know until see that score right infront of you. i just wish that the Almighty heard my prayers. i am offering whatever i get to His greater glory.
let's play battleship!
there was this sudden boom of american population in pasay these past few days. i was told that there was these supposed aircraft carrier within manila bay. i went to check if it was true and to my surprise, it is! this is the first time i saw an aircraft carrier, and not just any aircraft carrier, it's a nimitz class. the most powerful one ever to date. here's a couple of photos:
i took these photos from the telescope at moa. it was very cloudy that day and it's difficult to focus the cellphone cam in the scope. so sorry for the poor resolution.
