Sunday, April 1
outdated.
last week as a college freshman. gawd, can't imagine that i've survived what i "perceived" to be one of the hardest adjustments i have to experience in life.just yesterday (march 20), i've filed my shifting application at the cssp. as is with my fourth year high school days, my first choice was bs psychology. just as before, it was what i always wanted. the person who received my paper advised me to put my second choice. and what is it you ask? ba psychology. :D
as of the moment, i'm pleading the heavens to grant what i have been praying for so long.
mind boggler: i want to take up public health and broadcast communication.
why public health?
if ever i get tired of pursuing an M.D. at the end of my name (i hope not), what i have earned from public health would be enough to consider me a doctor, at the least. never mind how my classmates considered it as a "sosyal na basura." ha, just look at the curriculum i got from their site:

the first two years would probably be a breeze because it's mostly GE subjects (and i have taken up most of them already). but just look at the next two years. for those who are not scientifically inclined, that would be a complete BORE.
it's almost perfect, if not for the manila campus. sorry upm, but i just can't bear the atmosphere. peace.
why broadcast communication?
i'm not into math of any sort, ever since. but if i'm to take up med, i would have to endure it because not only do i have to take up math subjects, my would be science subjects requires math too. too bad. and here comes the reason: bc doesn't require math and i have always wanted to be in the idiot and booming box, whether on-cam, off-cam, on-air or off-air.
do i have to say anything else dear?
i'm very excited to know the result of my career assessment. it's due on thursday. hope it jives with what i've been thinking lately.

thank you to the files of juno's laptop, the voice record option of bea's cellphone and boji's bluetooth eagerness, i'm bound for a new career:
THE RINGTONE ARTIST.

so last sunday was my cousin's birthday party at mc donald's quezon avenue. got my loads of carbohydrates and sugar. been a party documentator (a what?!). been intrigued again.
from the saved messages of my cellphone:
032607. it was my cousin's birthday celebration yesterday. to some extent, i really didn't want to go, celebrate and all because i conceived that the situation was not conducive for the both of us. i found it hard to mend my way through inevitable circumstances. ha! i've mastered the art of faking a smile.
bummed myself out as a party photojourn (new profession eh?) happy faces behind the lenses - so good to be awfully true. good thing i bothered myself taking pictures and videos or else i have succumbed myself to my world tourism handouts. or worse, i have engulfed myself to the thought that i am extremely out of place.

i need a thermal massage bed!
straight from the leaflet of the korean establishment DASANYUAN HEALTH CENTER:
(with all the typographical errors)
treatment of human spine and the corresponding region it affects
-helps regulates blood circulation
-reduces or eliminate pain
-improves posture
-boosts energy levels
-reduces stress, enhances sleep
-releases pollutants
-boosts tissue performance
-increase muscle agility
-improve concentration
-restore clarity
actually, i'm not sure about its stated benefits. but one thing is for sure: i want it to straighten my back and to prevent further complications such as scoliosis. when i tried the machine, it was really painful when the rolling thingie under the bed was rolling through my shoulders. the persons in-charge told me that if it hurts then, my spinal column is not aligned. and i perfectly agree.
