It's happening

Hospital assignments for our internship have just been posted.

And here's where I gonna spend my 6 months training (credits to the owner for the photo):

 Manila Central University Filemon D. Tanchoco Medical Foundation Hospital 

I'm getting nervous. This internship thing is just starting to sink in to me. I don't know what really to do.

It's just good that I have others from our block that are assigned on the same hospital as mine.

And there is she, MLA, my classmate in freshmen year, as well as in junior's -- and even up to now in our senior's. To think, in one year we have 2 semesters -- which are almost equivalent to one school year each, because each marks a beginning of classes. Meaning, we're like in the same block for almost 6 school years!

It's not planned. I mean, being stuck together in the same section for that long isn't something that's gonna happen just because one wants.

1st year, 1st sem. Who the hell knew who were we gonna have as classmates by then. It was random, of course. We were just like different pieces meeting for the first time, coming together in one place to complete some puzzle.

1st year, 2nd sem. That was it when we have a choice by then, and we chose to be in the same block again.

2nd year, 1st sem. Still, we have a choice but conflicts occurred. I enrolled late and so we got separated.

2nd year, 2nd sem. Still, I decided to just go along with my classmates in the previous sem. And that made a total of one year of us in different blocks.

And there now, we were about to enter our 3rd year. Things turned. We couldn't just choose freely anymore like during our first 2 years in college. It was already grade- and exam-based. Unexpectedly, we became classmates... again. Chances got us back together.

Which continued until our 4th year, 1st sem.

And now 4th year, 2nd sem. This hospital assignment? Several things were considered here. But still, we saw our names on the same sheet of paper in the post. She even said,

 "We're like conjoined twins."

Well, it just happens. I think we're really gonna have to stay in each other's back... for some more time.

Just enrolled!

11 days since I last wore my uniform. 11 days since I last went to school.

Today, we just enrolled!

Here goes our new schedule:

But the day and hour for our internship thing here is still temporary because it will still depend on the availability of our hospital assignments.

Wooooh! I really have mix feelings about this.

Next Club

It was so soon -- sooner than I never thought.

Abegail is one of my closest among my closest friends during high school. Since we are so afar from each other -- she in the province while me here in the city, I haven't heard so much news about her during these last few years (well, except for some friend request accepted and profile picture changed updates in Facebook). Our last interaction, I can't remember already. I'm trying to reach her by phone recently but I think she is too busy to give a reply. She started working almost 2 years ago.

Just suddenly today, she texted me:

"How are you now? I have a spouse now. We already have baby. I expect to give labor next month... You and Sheena (another closest among my closest friend) will be godparents, okay?"

I didn't know! That gave me a shock. Really. I mean, I didn't expected it. It was such a random random random news I got directly from her!

My mind went blank first. Then, I thought. I weighed my feelings.

HAPPY? Just like others receiving a good news from someone dear? Love! Baby! Family! Yeah! A good news! And how come this very thin fragile girl before turned into a wife and mother so suddenly?

SAD? She's no longer "our" Abegail anymore. She's "someone else" now.

EXCITED? I'll be a godparent! And that child of hers -- her first child -- is gonna be my first godchild!

SULK? Why does this close friend of ours notified us so late? I mean, we didn't even got a chance to meet that guy and give her an impression about him -- that guy who stole our girlfriend from us  -- some friendship courtesy or rules like that, you know?

JUDGING? She and that unknown guy aren't really married yet actually; just living in. Well still, we're already at our right age to make decisions like that.

After sometime then, I replied her:

"Wow! Really? Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!"

I just realized, she really have joined the next club already. She's really so ahead in true life. She have become so independent now.  And I'm so envious of her. I don't think I can be like her yet.

Just for him

I'm not a fashionista.

I mean, I'm not the type of girl who pays so much attention to my physical look: clothing, accessories, whatsoever.

At home, I just wear a pair of t-shirt and shorts, with matching flip flops. At school, of course I'm on our regular white uniform and black shoes. Outside other than school, hmmm... honestly, I'm just a house-and-school-only gal. But for casual basis -- for example, going to the market to buy some necessities like foods and soaps and the like or to pay some bills -- my preference goes with, if not those what I wear inside the house, just simple loose blouses and pants along with some flats for my footwear. One more thing, I don't do make ups -- just a little face power and lip moisturizer -- at least some missy thing, you know.

And so, this is me. I'm just a plain, boring, common girl on a corner.

But, know what? I just dolled up myself today. And here's what I just wore for some time:

 

This, I match up with some black blazer -- which I have failed to include in the photo.

Not so elegant or flashy, but completely incomparable to my usual clothes.

It's not that I never wore such clothes before. But what I'm trying to say is there's no even any kind of celebration.

It's actually for our thesis defense.

But thesis defense isn't really something one should be prepared for so much -- well, of course except for the thesis itself. Corporate Dress - as simply instructed to us.

Still, I especially prepared for it.

I just actually bought this dress and 3 inches heels yesterday -- me, who's also not a fond buyer, except for food -- me, who seldom spend money for "wants" and even for "needs" unless really needed -- me, who will not be able to have any new personal stuffs like clothes or shoes unless someone will bought or give me.

Then why? Honestly, it is because... you know... just like other typical teens out there... who wants to look pretty... in the eyes of their crush... Hahaha. And now I think I'm blushing.

Quite a Long Journey... somehow

AUGUST 3, SATURDAY. Last day of our classes.

AUGUST 8, THURSDAY. Last day of our final major exams.

AUGUST 12, MONDAY. Promotion board.

TODAY? AUGUST 13, TUESDAY. And I just went to school.

I went there to confirm the half-uncertain-half-sure news I just received yesterday. And it was real. It was confirmed by my own eyes.

4th year, 1st semester. We passed! We passed! We passed! We passed!

Hooray!

Now, I just dig up for our course syllabus and I feel so proud of myself. I can't barely believe it. I just realized that it's been really a quite long journey somehow -- though I'm just referring to our college life.

Just take a look below. These are all our subject courses that we were able to take up to reach where we are now. I have sorted it out by relevance and also, I have marked those ones considered as major among our major subjects, or maybe I should say important ones since those are included in our board exam.

And now 4th year, 2nd semester. We're already going for INTERNSHIP! Well, of course it is along with our Seminar 2. And then, just this only one semester left and we're graduating! Really so excited.

Hahaha. I almost forgot that we still have one thing left to be fixed before this semester's closure. It's our THESIS DEFENSE. This is for next week. And so, another God bless for us. I know we can do it. Just another little push again... and LET'S GO!
