I finally watched the brightest show on Earth yesterday. Last week, I headed to the Mall of Asia with a friend but we were not able to catch the show because we arrived at the Pyromusical late. Yesterday, Bee and I almost did not make it on time. We arrived at the Diosdado Macapagal Ave. at 6:30 pm – the show was slated to start at 7 pm! We thought parking at MOA would be difficult so we parked our car at Blue Wave – Macapagal. And (brisk)WALKED to MOA. Yep. We walked that great length! Thanks to my flats my feet didn’t hurt – but oh – my leg muscles are crying out loud now. I probably need a muscle supplement.
Good thing there was no queue for the tickets so we were able to head straight to two empty seats at the VIP area. Last year, Bee and I were able to witness the 1st Pyromusical Champion, United Kingdom’s set. This year, we watched as China and France lit up the sky. Both used traditional/classical scores in their fireworks display and both were very spectacular. Oh, I so love fireworks! I hope we can go back next week!
Once again, St. Luke’s College of Medicine prides itself with the outcome of the February 2011 Physician Licensure Examination. It’s a 100% passing for first-time takers from Batch 2010! Hooray!

On the other hand, all eyes are on us as we, SLCM Batch 2011, are about to face one of our life’s biggest challenges: The Comprehensive Exam. It’s a win or lose situation. No gray areas. This is really scary. So help me God.

I didn’t study for three straight days for this video.
The video was a last-minute surprise for Bee. He was going out with his friends to Sagada on his birthday. I was getting lonely. So I decided to surprise him when he get back with a video montage for his birthday. The plan was simple: get his friends to make a video/picture greeting for him and compile them in a video montage. The first problem I encountered was how to contact his friends.
You see, we don’t exactly have the same circle of friends. I only have a glimpse of who among his friends were close to him from the handful of testimonials he had in friendster. Bee’s not as active as I am in facebook and rarely does he go out with his friends. So you see, what I hatched was not as simple as I thought it would be. I originally had planned sending out unwanted private messages to his friends from my facebook account but alas, facebook tagged me as a spammer after sending out 20 messages in about three minutes and blocked my private messaging privileges. Although I’ve read that it only takes a day for the ban to be lifted, time was of essence since the clock was ticking away. I then decided to do the unthinkable: come up with a good white lie to get Bee’s facebook password so I can PM his friends from there. Fortunately, he gave them to me and since he was going away, I thought he wouldn’t have access to his facebook account for the whole duration of the trip. So, imagine how aghast I was when he told me the inn they were staying at had free wifi. OMG. There’s wifi in Sagada? Who would have thought?!?! I ended up checking his facebook account every now and then to intercept the messages of his “pasaway” friends who kept on replying to my messages through PM even if I explicitly told them to communicate with me through my email account. Goodness.
I thought I was successful, after all, I was able to read the messages intended for me before he did. I was hoping that in the end, I will show him the video and he’ll be so caught up with the surprise that he will give me a teary-eyed thank you. Until one fine day after his birthday, someone replied back to my PM and unfortunately, I wasn’t there to delete it. Great. Just great. So much for surprises no?
And before I forget. I ended up doing a video containing just his pictures I was able to scour from friends and from my own sleuthing. What about the greetings you say? Turns out his friends have their hands full contrary to what I thought. I only managed to gather less than 10 greetings. *sigh*
Anyway, enough of the hullabaloo. Here’s the video montage I made through Animoto.com. This video is extra special for me, but I’ll dwell on that in my next post-Bee Day entry. Ciao!
P.S. Probably on his 26th birthday, I’ll just give him a set of male enhancement products. Just kidding!!!!
I couldn’t help not to smile with what happened to me earlier. I was on my way back to the doctor’s callroom when I almost bumped into my new crush. I was about to walk down the stairs and he was incidentally climbing up and we were both on the same side of the staircase. To my shock, I suddenly blurted a shy “Hi doc” to which he replied with a simple hello. My heart was fluttering. Haha. I went back to the unit to check on my patient’s chart and we were standing side-by-side at the nurse’s station. I wasn’t minding him – or at least I was trying not to – but I swear I saw him look at me in my peripheral view. When he finished with what was doing, he tapped me on the back as he was about to leave. Hehe. I wish he didn’t notice that silly smile plastered across my face. Haha. Talandi!
At times like this, I wish Jen or Jessa were here. Back when they were still around, I’d immediately text or call Jen or Jessa and tell them about this very silly and childish fangirl stuff. Too bad I only have Mela now.
On Saturday will be their 40th day from death and we’ll be celebrating a mass for them. Mela and I are going shopping tomorrow for the things we need for the offertory. Who knows? I might be able to snag a few things for summer like discount shades from Fly Wear or a cute summery blouse to wear for my trips. Exciting.
And yeah before I forget. Of course this is just a fangirl thing. I still love Bee. Much. =)
I want you to meet Kaiser, my new love.
Yes. This baby is mine. And the best part of it? I got him for F-R-E-E. I always join raffles but I never expect to win any of those prizes. I am one of those many, many unlucky souls who always end up as “thank you, patrons” because my name always doesn’t land in the winners’ list. But in a sudden twist of fate, my name was handpicked from hundreds of those who contributed for the FRIC (fellows, residents, interns and clerks) Party last weekend. That’s how I got Kaiser. It seemed as if the heaven was listening to me when I told Mela how I wanted an iPod for myself. The next thing I know, I was a giggly girl on stage ready to get precious Kaiser. I haven’t had the chance to tinker with him since I got him. If only I can get hold of the online backup of my MP3s from an old host, then I’d instantly fill up all 2GB-worth of memory that Kaiser has. Too bad some online hard drives aren’t exactly reliable. Sometimes, it pays to pay. =)
You know you’re not getting any younger when suddenly people around you – when grade school/high school classmates that is – suddenly decide to get hitched for good and then you’re left contemplating when it’s going to be your turn.
It sucks to be left out (especially when you’re left as a dependent medical student like me, hehe). But when it’s the people you love most who are involved, you can’t NOT be happy for them.
So, to someone I know and deeply, honestly love, (I doubt if she had any idea at all!) congrats and cheers to the future! (I sure hope she has Vegas vacations among the list of her honeymoon itineraries.)
