Mood Swings.

I dunno if today was sad or happy. At times it was happy, at times it was horrible. Super tindi ng mood swings ko kaninang lunch. Sobra.

Basta sobrang saya ko nung morning. Flag cem wasnt so bad really, except for the heat I felt on one side of my face while on the stage. What really made me think today would be a great day was the rainbow which stayed during half of the flag cem. The freshmen seemed really excited for some reason as well. Rainbows dont usually appear during flagcems really. And the prayer Gino recited was nice, plus Leo was so cute when he said our message was "We love our bread. We love our butter. But most of all we love each other." from Madeleine. :)). Haha.

Health was ok naman. Maam making kwento pa rin about her experiences with alcoholism, more of the experiences with drunk friends. :P. The aso kwento was eww though. Yihee maam. :> :)).

I loved Math. Sobrang di ko naexpect yung grade ko. Pleasant surprise. :D. At least I didnt fail math this quarter. Happiness.

Bio was..I'd rather not say. Basta napaiyak ako for some reason dahil sa ilang things nung HR. I was at HR, but a wooden thing away. Fyi to the people who thought I cut classes.

CS. Ewan. Asar na asar ako pero di dahil sa CS. Pasang awa sa Lab activity.

Break was eww as well. Pero we were cramming English. And I hated it so much because Maam wasnt even specific. She just said quiz on the readings. Some thought it was just the intro. Some thought it was until the legends. And some thought it was everything except for Story of Heiki ata. And I dont like Japanese names. Sobra. :. No offense to anime addicts and people who love Japanese culture.

HR. :. At least people paid funds. Pero iilan lang.

Chem. I actually got the lesson now. :D. Haha. Though I seriously need help with isomers and stuff with the isopropyl and butyl. Yun na lang.

English. Wala si Maam. At least walang quiz. And we actually got a 1 40 dismissal this time. The way it was supposed to be. Nevermind.

At least dismissal was ok. Although it was a bit boring. And it was so hot for some reason. :. Oh well. I wasn't sad anymore. Especially when I found out I retained my Chem grade despite my horrible perio score. :D. Yehey.

But now I still got Bio and SS to read. And Chem to finish. Nakakatamad. :. Bipolar-ness.

Depression.

I feel so stupid this quarter. : Second quarter's usually the quarter I improve kahit konti lang. Pero this quarter seems different, unless some miracle happens (I wish). My perio scores are passing (except physics D:), but around the barely passing area. I got three perios that scored 2 points above the passing score. The rest aren't that high, and Physics was simply an Epic Fail moment.

Bio grades down to pasang awa (2.50). I most probably will go down in Chem thanks to my horrible Chem perio score. I have no idea what will happen to my physics grade, with the only saving graces for me were the LTs and hopefully the lab activities. Socsci is ewan. I'm screwed for English (thanks to elocution). Filipino is blah. Compsci's fine (I hope). I think I actually passed math this quarter. And I guess PBPs fine as well.

What exactly put my mood down today were my Bio grade, Maam Bernal's comment in English today, my SS scores and Physics scores. I wonder what happened in Bio. Ang baba na tuloy tingin ko sa sarili ko ngayon. Based on grades, I'm the girl who almost always gets the lowest grade. My self esteem gets lower and lower when that happens. I suck at SS perios. Probably because I'm not interested in History that much. As in when we were watching the SS videos (Egypt, Greece, Maya), the other girls were so interested and excited, while I was all indifferent. Plus they answered me kinda angry-ish (no offense) when I asked why the pharoahs were being brought to Cairo. I forgot it was the capital - sorry na.

And then I suck at memorization. Kaya bio was never my forte. But then I never got lower than 2.25 :((. And I actually passed the perio this time. I guess my quizzes sucked badly.

Maam Bernal said we needed a miracle if we wanted to do well in Elocution tomorrow based on the performances kanina. Super scared na tuloy ako since she let me repeat na. And she said she couldn't remember my grade either. I dont blame her for losing our grades in that fire. But still, it does hurt to know that she only remembered the people who did pretty well. Well, technically, uno na siguro sila =)).

Sembreak.

I've practically been spending almost everyday at the hospital visiting my Dad. And he'll be released tomorrow morning :D. I'm practically used to being home alone now, with my parents at the hospital and Issa at school. Haha. And the retreat's on Friday as well. Whee. Excited na ako I guess. XD.

And I want House Season 4 :(. Haha. Where can I buy a DVD siguro. And I got kilig with Chameron (Chase-Cameron) in Season 3, although it was about non-commital sex in 3 episodes. :)). Too bad I won't be seeing them a lot in Season 4. And I just read in wikipedia kanina that the actors Jennifer Morrison (who plays Dr. Allison Cameron) and Jesse Spencer (who plays Dr. Robert Chase) were actually engaged during the time of that season. :)). They called off their marriage sometime during the season finale for season 3. Aww. I'm still a Chameron fan. XD.

Well. Nothing really happened to me today. I'll just post this video. Katy Perry's current single Hot n Cold. I like this one a lot better than I Kissed A Girl. XD. And I've known of the existence of this video for around a week now I guess. Whee. I will be waiting for the music video of David Cook's Light On. Though the single cover art looks, well, scary. :)).

Oh well. This videos the one with the best quality in youtube. Click the "watch in high quality" at the bottom of the video. XD.

Hospital Happenings.

I spent the whole day at the hospital with my family. But in the morning it was just and Daddy and me, since my mom had to go to the retreat house across SHS because of the parent's participation during retreats there. I had to go to the hospital at 8am to make bantay my dad kasi its really important that someone's with him. And I guess I'm starting to get used to hospitals now. My dad was hospitalized twice already this year, last July and this October. And both times he had underwent procedures that are actually important for him - an angioplasty and surgery on his colon. And he celebrated his birthday last July in the hospital room. A lot of food was brought in by my relatives like Palabok, Reyes Barbeque and Cake :D. I came from Courtney's house for Ramayana practice then. And I missed out on the chismis because of that XD. And I had to buy some paper plates and plastic forks and spoons on the way there. And almost every time I go visit my Dad, I drop by the grocery store first. :P. Luckily, I have a credit card thats linked to my Dad's, but its limit is only 5000 pesos. =)). So now I realize that I have a history of cancer and diabetes. Hypertension rin ata. I'm prone to that na siguro. Parati ako high blood eh. XD.

There's not much to do at the hospital really. Just watch the tv (at least there's cable =)) ) and EAT. :)). I find it ironic that people visit and bring food along with them. I still remember the time we ordered pizza there. Imagine eating a 18 inch Manhattan Meatlovers pizza from Yellow Cab in a hospital room. XD. Though it is to show respect and stuff, to be straight forward, my dad cant eat any of the things the bring - at least not yet. My dad's currently on a diet of clear liquids since he underwent surgery on the colon last week. Cool story really. They cut of a part of his colon that was inflicted with cancer, luckily it was still a really early stage 1. But since removing it would leave a hole in my Dad's colon, they cut a part of. And they even showed it to my mom and Ninang (Mom's sister) and took a picture of it and showed that to my Dad. :)) And there's no movement yet in some parts of his digestive system because of the operation. Because of that there's a tube that goes from his nose all the way to his stomach to remove the gastric juices and gas out of his digestive tract. So sitting on the sofa I literally see the bile and other gastric juices go through the tube and into a bottle. Gross isn't it. And the color varies from pale yellow to darkish green. Haha.

And I eat a lot at the hospital too. Since my ninong (Dad's bestfriend) came over with donuts kanina. So they were more for me then. XD. Another reason my Dad cant as well is because he's diabetic. He's IV-ed to KCl, insulin and antibiotics now.

KCl. I don't know how many times I've encountered that in Chem tests and exercises (Hi Sir!! :D). I recently saw my Dad's biochemistry results a while back. They only check for 4 elements in the body namely Calcium, Sodium, Magnesium and Potassium. When my dad was hospitalized last July, he had to take Potassium and Magnesium orally. Now, there's still a tube down his throat. So his medicines are either injected, or go down the tube through his nose. The pills are either diluted in water or juice, depending on the factors affecting their solubility. XD. But a severe drop in potassium is bad. I think we studied it in bio recently. Hypokalemia is what you call a situation when there is a less than normal amount of potassium in the blood. Since potassium is needed by muscle cells to function (lactic acid fermentation! :D), a severe drop can cause muscle cramps, and even paralysis. And you wouldn't want potassium being IV-ed into you at a really fast rate. It hurts daw- another ninong of mine (another friend of my dad, I have a lot of ninongs and ninangs XD) made kwento kanina about his experience with hypokalemia. He said when it is injected to you in a fast rate, you dont know if its painful, itchy, stinging or whatever. So eat bananas. \:D/ :))

Haha. Wala lang. I haven't updated this blog in a long time. XD. But now its all about hospitals. Looks like I'll be going to St. Luke's a lot while my Dad is confined there. And I still don't know when my Dad will be released. D: My mom literally sleeps on the sofa so she doesn't go home when my Dad's in the hospital. That's how much my Mom loves my Dad. XD. I just hope my medical history doesn't do anything bad to me. I already have a history of cancer (my maternal grandfather and paternal grandmother died of it, plus my dad got operated on because of it) and diabetes (Dad has it). I hope I don't get sick, especially diabetes. I'm practically forced to eat the food at the hospital because there's no space in the ref =)). Oh well. Goodnight people. XD. I'm taking a break from the hospital tomorrow.

Blood Typing.

My mom said she's looking for blood donors for daddy. I was originally O_O at the idea, but then it was just in case something goes wrong on Saturday's operation. And apparantly, my dad's blood type is B. So my mom's asking my Dad's relatives if they can donate blood.

My dad's been in the hospital since yesterday, and I went to visit kanina. Partially because my mom had asked to bring some things over, plus they made me do a bit of grocery shopping as well. Tapos my mom had me bring some spaghetti she asked to be cooked, but it turned out they cooked too much. Haha. And it was still hot when the driver brought it in. But it was good. :D

And I was able to go ol with the wifi my dad was able to connect to. :)). La lang. But it was only for a short while because after a while I got pretty sleepy. :P. And I fell asleep in the hospital room's sofa. And woke up roughly 2 hours later. Haha.

Which reminds me, I also have an experience with blood as well. My baby records actually say that my blood type is A, contradicting the fact that Issa and I are identical twins. For a fact, we all said that she was of blood type O. But we weren't entirely sure because the blood type slot was empty in hers. They probably assumed that we were the same given that we were twins. It wasn't until we were in grade 3 when we found out she really was of blood type O, due to a blood test to see if she simply had a fever or a worse disease. And we still followed the blood type A for me due to the records.

The next blood test I had gotten was when I entered Pisay since I was required. My mom was really surprised to see that I was of blood type O instead of Blood type A as what my records said. Luckily, I had not had an emergency blood transfusion, or they might have given me the wrong blood. And being of blood type O, I cannot take any other blood except for that of type O. And we could have sued the hospital as well. :P

I'm being unproductive now. :)). I'll be doing the nonperio stuff tomorrow, so that will give me the weekend to study my lessons. Whee. Hope I actually get something done tomorrow. I'll be visiting my dad again tomorrow after Issa gets home.

Random add. :)). My original labgown now has a name on it. I'll take a pic soon. =)). It now has a glittery pink Oona on it. XD. Haha.

And I'll be bringing my camera to school more often I guess. My multiply's begging me for a Potato Corner2. :P
