window of the drummer’s soul

After so, so long, I have made my way to LAUGHING GAS CITY! hahaha. My classmates (and my groupmates in hospital duty) Kara, Meg, and Nur and I went to NCCC Mall to watch the Simpson’s Movie. Man! The money and time we spent there was all worthwhile! Really worth watching! Yes, yes, some of the content may be very mababaw for some, but it sure is hilarious! Totally awesome! We went inside the movie house just after the 5th screening. We were made to listen to many of Jason Mraz songs, not to mention that he is one of my favorite artists in the world. Then came the movie trailers, which is actually one of my favorites whenever I have the chance to watch inside a moviehouse. and at last, I heard the famous Simpons soundtrack..I got so excited then. I would be a spoiler if I will narrate how the movie went, but surely, it is really worth it. When all of us went outside, we were still wearing those big smiles we had..hang-over ba.. wee! I give 5 stars for that!

Please watch the trailer below:

i did it!

 a week before our Cap, Pin, and Candlelight Ceremony, I got too anxious with the “duty” that I am going to do in the said ceremony. I was tasked to be leading the florence nightingale pledge for my batch. There was never a time in our pinning practice that I cannot make a mistake in pronouncing/uttering the words of the said pledge. I sometimes hate myself for having a lack of focus in the task. I was afraid that others may think that I am a looser or something. What I want to do then is to just finish the thing, and then escape. Whenever I get home, I always assess myself of why I cannot do the simple task perfectly. In my last CBC, the results said that I am anemic..and one of the signs and symptoms is having a lack of concentration (aside from the fatigue and weakness).. so, i did things that will help me boost my body’s hemoglobin to alleviate my anemia.. I ate lots of vegetables like beans of any kind.. anything with chicken liver,.. i also took ascorbic acid to help the absorption of vitamin c… slept early.. et cetera.. while doing all of those, i felt my self-esteem going stronger too. i felt that i can really do it when the time comes.

 …so on the 20th of July, 1pm in the CAP Auditorium, I delivered my task.. perfectly.. I mean, almost perfectly. Perfectly because I havent forgotten any single word in the pledge..and almost because.. in the bottom part of the pledge, i mistakenly pronounced the word “devote” into “debote”, so I repeated, and I properly said the word, then continued with my piece..everybody is so silent, so still. After the florence nightingale pledge, I forgot everything. It was like another dream.. another beautiful and funny dream.

 I only “woke up” when I ate the blueberry cheesecake my mom gave me as a present at home. 

 Here’s a copy of the pledge:

I, solemnly pledge myself before God, and in the presence of this assembly to pass my life in purity and to practice my profession faithfully. I will abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous and will not take or knowingly administer any harmful drug. I will do all in my power to maintain and elevate the standard of my profession, and will hold in confidence all personal matters committed to my keeping, and all family affairs coming to my knowledge in the practice of my profession. With loyalty, will I endeavor to work closely with the health team, and devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care.

Quite long, eh?
