  • Bouts of anxiety

    and it's due to school. What else right? I really would like to go into more details with regards to this bouts of anxiety but I won't just yet. I have to finish with this semester first, then I may or may not get back to you on that. 

     

    Sunday 11/27

    Wings  dinner with LG, MF, CB, JB, DP

     

    Caesar, probably my favourite alcoholic mix

    Cookie dough with ice cream for dessert. That shii was hot!

     

    Lots of laugh as usual, I'd attribute it to a alcohol but it's just always fun spending time with friends. Random conversations and childhood anecdotes are always fun to hear!

    Monday 11/28

    Second to last Monday shift for the semester! YES! Super late evenings in school + broke college student equates to this...

    for dinner! Super cheap and greasy pizza FTW! 

    It's exactly what you think it is...

    That piece of cloth  was right on the table in the student area in our clinic. My class/shift mate was tidying up for the night when she got curious and picked up this rectangular folded piece of cloth, shook it so that she's holding it up in front of her face whilst trying to decipher what it was. As soon as she shook it out of its fold, I realize right away what it was, it took her a good few seconds though.

    THE LOOK ON HER FACE. Priceless. 

    Goes to show why people shouldn't just randomly pick things up.

    Tuesday 11/29

    I could hardly wrap my head around the idea that I have been attending my school enough to witness 3 different transition of the restaurant right in front of my school. It went from a super cheap but questionable Chinese restaurant, to a very sophisticated Thai restaurant, and now to a Vietnamese restaurant. 

     

    I suddenly had a huge craving for Summer Rolls. Gluttony strikes again when I ordered way too much, and it wasn't even as good as I'd anticipated. Serves me right.

     

     

    Also, Kuya  came back on the weekend from his two night stay in the states. He was excited to show what he got for me but he'd accidentally left it with his friend's stuff. He was finally able to retrieve it and boy, was he excited!

    He's going through this weird phase were he somehow find cheesy slogans very amusing. He was so happy and he thought himself clever for getting me this shirt in particular so I had to wear it. Surprisingly, I got one-too-many comment of approval from peers and teachers alike when I wore it the following day whatevahwtf

    Wednesday 11/30

    My online orders from a month and a few weeks ago are finally arriving in the mail! Packages always make me happy!  

    I buy the most irrelevant things online! I think its even worst than actually stepping in a mall because charging everything to my Visa is so much easier when its only mere clicks away. Anyway, this is -one of my- new sexy pens! I don't have the best penmanship, now am I very articulate but I like to pretend anyway. I also have a fixation to stationery, pens in particular. One of these days, I shall post my pen collection when it's big and decent enough. 

    This day is also the second to last Wednesday practicum shift for the term. Even with that in mind, I still abhor it! Its not much the practicum itself that I find despicable, I actually really enjoy it, especially because my supervising instructor is just astonishing  not to mention very inspiring, its more of the fact that it ends late and I have a very early morning class the next day that I find detestable. Sure, at worst I get home at 10 pm. Plenty of time to get to bed for a relatively restful evening right? But by the time I get home, adrenaline is still coursing through my system keeping me awake so that I could not, for the life of me, settle down for the night *le sigh sadbummed

     

    Thursday 12/01

    DECEMBER already? What is this?

    Well at least the school knew just how to be festive and assuage the finals week, all time high stressed aura, blanketing the school by throwing a Holiday decoration festivity which composed of decorating the school with Christmas lights, putting up a Christmas tree and my personal favourite, handing out treats and eggnogs

     

    This was only the "treats table" downstairs, there were more upstairs!

    Also, the same class/shit mate I have on Wednesdays, being the sweetheart that she is, handed me this piece of delectable snack. Way back in October, when we had the same shift, I'd given her an unnecessary permission to leave and had jokingly said that as long as she would bring me a Bueno then we'll call it even. She had just remembered last week and had frantically searched different stores for them. Poor woman!

    Friday 12/02

    Was not a good day. I could just feel PMS coming on in the form of severely, uncalled for,  aggressive inward thoughts, towards absolutely  anyone and everyone. I was venting through text messages and it sure kept my friends amused though. Luckily, it was a sort of symbiotic relationship, because the more I vented through text, the more they were amused and the more I realized how ridiculous I was being. By the time the class ended, I managed to feel better and calm enough, to then subsequently wait for my friends to finish what they have for the evening and accompany me for some pink sushi! That's right! PINK. 

     

    I'd thought the five hour wait I had to do was going to take forever,  luckily, 2 hours in my wait, DP came and accompanied me in school. I LOVE  that woman, she's just super quirky, bubbly, random and childish but serious at the same time. Our conversation was/ always are so erratic.  We had such in-depth conversation regarding life, literature, relationships, friendships etc.

     

    SUSHI TIME! ( DP, LG, CB, JB, NG,)

     

    Some sort of egg appetizer

    The sushi doesn't look that pink in the photograph, but IT IS! 

    Ice cream tempura > deep fried ice cream!

    DP, she was our very own Japanese woman of the night. 

    Mr Snowman wearing the Sorting Hat.

    After dinner, we swung by Mac's for some DIY smoothie/milkshake...

     

    then we headed to the Babilonia's residence, where we stayed until 4 AM doing what it is that we do when we are there. 

     

    Saturday 12/03

    I had meant to spend the day in the public library studying for my finals, Mother even lend me her van so that I could drive myself after I dropped her off at work. But of course it didn't happen. Instead, the most used I got out of the vehicle and fetching myself and the baby brother dinner. Though, CB and LG are downstairs hard at work as I blog. 

     

    Off to pick up le Mother, then study mode on finally!
