"A" list of stuff

2010-11-02T05:00:00.000-07:00

after getting back from hong kong, i've realized how backwards i was when it came to style and facial care. becasue of such, i've decided to upgrade my style and skin care essentials. here's to start:

Basic Black Dress - The basic black dress has been around for a long time. It is often called the "Little Black Dress", and it's true that shorter skirts on the basic black dress, when they hit you in the right place, can be more flattering than a long black dress.

Trench Coat - The trench coat is one of the pieces that is both classic and currently a hot fashion item. Most any store sells this piece now. It is great for fall and you can pick it up in a wide range of lengths.

Dress Pants - Although it doesn't say black, this is probably what you want to look for. Black is flattering on all figures and goes with everything.

Classic Shirt - The white shirt is a definite classic. But it can also come in many different styles to make it look trendy and not dated or like a man's piece of clothing. Find one that accentuates your best attributes and minimizes trouble spots. For example, if you have wide shoulders, stay away from large collars.

Jeans - Everyone has a pair of jeans, but does everyone have a pair of jeans that make them look great? The wider leg, low-rise jean style has been popular (and still is) but a narrower leg is coming back along with a higher waist, which eliminates the unflattering "muffin top" look.

Any Occasion Top - Find something you look great in that can look respectable under a jacket but bring on the fun after hours.

Skirt - If you need dress pants then you also need a skirt. A skirt is womanly and can be flirty or businesslike. Nowadays women do not wear many skirts or dresses, which makes a lot of them fall into a rut of dressing sloppily or like men. See number 8.

Day Dress - Women also are not wearing as many dresses anymore. It was certainly liberating to go from the '50s when women wore dresses every day to wearing more practical pants for gardening, exercising, and so forth. But the dress does not have to be abandoned altogether. They can be very flattering, and there is nothing wrong with "dressing up" for daytime.

Jacket - A jacket does not have to be masculine. Find one with a proper, fitted shape. Women's jackets should follow the silhouette of a woman's body and accent the hourglass curve at her waist. It is also a perfect piece to put with the skirt or dress pants, and white shirt. Or make it casual with a pair of jeans.

Sweatsuit Alternative - As mentioned before, women wear fewer skirts and dresses these days. But some women have taken casual to the extreme and spend days on end in sweatsuits. It is possible to be casual and comfortable without looking like a slob. Find a comfortable material (that's why this doesn't say jeans again – denim is not as comfortable as a nice soft cotton) that you would want to wear every day. It could be khakis, cords, a cotton dress, or much more.

I believe that when it comes to footwear, these are the essentials every woman should have:

1. Classic pump

2. Flats

3. Evening Sandal

4. Walking Sandal

5. Boots (depending of where you live)

6. Casual Sandal – optional item that can be used for a casual look with jeans or a more formal look with dress pants

7. Sneakers – should be used for exercise or hiking

Compare the list to what you currently have and if your closet seems to be full and cluttered this may a great time to go in and pull it all out and sort it out (ie: pants, jeans, blouses, skirts, dresses and suits not forgetting to take out the shoes and categorize them as well) and take an inventory of what you have. After you’ve taken the inventory set aside all the items you’ve not worn in a year and if their condition is good you can decide to do a yard sale or perhaps give away to a friend, goodwill or a charity of your choice and discard the pieces you deem unusable. Now that you’ve taken out the clutter, you can put the pieces left back in the closet categorizing your closet as well (this will help you keep an eye view of what you have). At this point you can use the checklists to ensure you have all the essentials and if you’re missing an item, be sure to make a mental note so that on your next shopping spree you can pick up the ones you’re missing. Don’t forget to stop by Big and Elegant for your footwear if you leave a big or wide footprint and I’m sure we’ll be able to complete your list.

I hope you find these tips helpful, if so, feel free to leave a comment letting me know what you think and suggestions of your own; I love to read your feedback.

In terms of facial care:

Twice a week home-made facials--- needed items:

1 facial cleanser
1 mud
1 moisturizer
1 steam and cold therapy
tons and tons of cotton

so what happened today? well, this day was about a mind-to-self bout. it all began when i was taking lunch. yes, i was happily eating when my mind just can't get enough of problems--especially the on-call. but i did manage to overcome it. yup... i did mange to. and boy i was happy. the second most significant thingy today was how i found the clouds so majestic... i'm not kidding. it was like a picture from a computer desktop, the color, the depth, the shape of each and every cloud. it was soooo good! i guess eckhart tolle was right; when faced with something so beautiful, one gets awestruck... but in my case, i was present enough to notice it. that made me happy. i'm really happy today because i'm on guard of my innerspace. ME TO MYSELF: keep up the good work!!!

2010-09-06T02:52:00.000-07:00

Today is a monday. it was just yesterday that i checked up on this blog... changed a few passwords here and there... read a few past posts. the need to write down my ever-so-turbulent thoughts just dawned on me yesterday. so what's troubling my mind... or to rephrase it, what is my mind creating that troubles me. here's what: firstly, there is a need to finish all my cases... it's pressuring me actually. the more i see nursing students, the more i'm reminded of my passivity and it makes me feel insecure. i want to do it but my mind is telling me i can't. i'm too afraid to handle or assist in a delivery because i'm thinking this and that... too much future... negative thoughts not enough present. this is what eckhart tolle describes in his book 'the now'-- if i'm not mistaken, the origin of fear. fear is created from too much past or too much future, not enough present. these 'thoughts' are illusions, they do not exist, they're only mind-stuff. but the more i identify with it, the more it seems real. that's the whole pint... at least i understand it. it makes me feel uneasy... a queasy feeling in my gut.

the second thing most significant today is that i actually helped arranged the SRP. oh yeah... the ball is finally rolling. what i'm worried about next is the GCP... which i have no idea how we could handle. the third issue is the upcoming ER duty. it worries me that i'm actually this kind of girl who loves to plan everything and a little spontaneity will blow me awry. actually, i'm not questioning my ability... it's this mind of mine that LOVES TO CREATE PROBLEMS for myself. it loves to sink its teeth to 'problems'. 'problems' being real or most of the time not so realistic... a pure concoction of my mind. writing does help help. i just love the feeling.

these are my thoughts for today. see you tomorrow.

MARS

2010-06-10T06:01:00.000-07:00

today is a thursday. i'm planning on making this blog my personal-everyday diary--- that might work. as some of you may not know i'm already a 4th year nursing student- that being the case, i have a number of requirements i have to fulfill and such is the completion of LR/DR and OR cases for the PRC. as always and is being the case i only have a number of cases which means i'm affiliating in the different hospitals/lying in clinics. some of my batchmates and i went to this health center in villanueva but the orientation day may be delayed---if i'd say so myself. ugh... talk about dumb luck!!! thoughts are perculating in my mind right now......................... MARS!! yes, MARS! it's a very good manga... it's about perspective, psychiatry, romance and slice of life.... you rock Fuyumi Souryo!!!

the shittiest day EVER

2009-10-09T04:05:00.000-07:00

do you know what happened to me today? do you have any idea as to what kind of damnation befell on me this day, Oct. 9 2009?

then let me tell you.

this day should have been the day where i finally become a registered voter of the philippines. this day is my debut to the political fascade of my oh-so distraught country. but did fate ever allowed me to be so? NO!!! i had lost my i.d.--- somewhere.

a series of unfortunate events i call it. i was ready to hand in my affidavit of loss to the lawyers for their singnage... but you know what--- the lawyer was in manila and suppose to be back on tuesday the following week. OMGG!!

and then... i found out i had 16 extention HOURS under my name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

from what universe did that come from??? i dont remember a single instance wherein i acquired additional 8 HOURS....

isn't this bad or what...

but looking at the bright side at least i got to experience losing an i.d. and i get to exercise my rights... right to express as well as the right to know WHY and HOW i got that 16 hours. life is so interesting... believe it or not it'd be boring if everything went my way... so predictable... i may hate spontaneity and abruptness because of now-suppose-to-be-corrected-perfectionism but life gets sizzling hot if dilemmas arise... oooohhhh!!!

GO FOR GOAL

I LOVE LIFE

WELCOME 3rd year!!!

2009-05-29T18:37:00.000-07:00

today is may 30, 2009. i've just gotten my grades from the registrar and these were the results:
ENG 34.1: B; NCM RLE: C; NCM LEC: B-. these grades may be just something small for those high achievers but i'm pretty proud of myself.

wanna know why?

here's why:

i've been doing this lately... exparimentation and taking risks. i've been this 'depressed' individual when i was still in high school--- i didn't have self-respect and self-love... would you imagine that when i graduated from high school with high honors, i wasn't happy? how? well, when i went up there ro receive my medal, i felt nothing... i even doubted my self... i personally looked down on my achievements saying to myself, "chamba lang... you asked help... it doesn't count." well you get the picture. i HATED MYSELF...

But now, i love myself.i take risks more often and i'm building my confidence and self esteem... ir's not too late... o'm still 18. others even realize this when they're already old. my father never did. antway............................... go for goal!!!

WHOM DO YOU LOVE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD???

I LOVE MYSELF!!!! MYSELF ABOVE ANY OTHER!

summer fling!

2009-03-24T20:52:00.000-07:00

Ah yes, summer...

1. watching t.v.---- La Corda d'Oro secong passo is showing this march 26! can't wait!
2. streaming anime videos on youtube- can't miss that
3. baby-sitting my ever-so-husky sister-- BonBon
4. EATING!EATING!EATING! i just can't cut down on the trans fat
(i'm afraid i'm gonna get fat with all that eating and no work-out!)
5. sitting...sitting down... relaxi'n... the usual

God, i just cannot forget- my sister lost my sim card--- NO!!!!!!!!!!! that thing contains all my contacts! but hey, it's not something i can't handle!

LUV YA KRING!!!

id

2009-01-07T06:36:00.001-08:00

id is not I.D.- the one you wear aorund campus or business grounds to identify someone... but it's id- the pleasure principle Sigmund Freud is famous for.

inner turmoil--- id vs super ego--- and the winner is................ id!!!
this day is marked by the victory of my id which is teling me to watch saiunkoku monogatari season 2 with eng subs. i spent 6 hours doing this endeavor supressing that ever-so-urgent need to start with my homeworks and get over with microbio!!! why can't i controll my pleasureful needs? my superego screams for justice! "kring2x... stop watching S.M. 2" ugh! this usually happens when exams are coming in, reading a whole lot of chapters as review and tons of written assignments. despite knowing all this, why can't i stop?

THOUGHTS: krings, thrusday bitaw ugma, 9:40 pa bitaw imong klase. pabilar-bilar pud, puede man pud ka momata og dugay ugma, diba? come on, you can cram naman diba? you can do it tomorrow, friday night as well as sat. and sunday evening. give me a littlle pleasure, rest gamay.it's not like u can't do it, you've done this before, haven't you? meaning, you can do it again...-- devilish smirk... hehehe -- id

REFUTAL: kring, be rational. duh, i know that.
1. that video of saiunkoku monogatari WILL NOT disappear from youtube, in fact madugangan pa na
2. you have money naman to buy a DVD copy worth 70 pesos, diba? and that my dear is a ifelong memorabilia. you can watch it anytime!
3. midterms na nimo. kabalo man ka sa imong status diba?
4. remember your promise to yourself--- SLEEPIN TIME: 10/11 PM. because as you know, sleep is good for your MENTAL WELL-being--- in short your health!
5. remember your new year's resolution--- LOVE YOURSELF. Q: do you think, your doing yourself a favor?

REPLY: no. by doing this, i'm NOT doing myself the ittest bit of favor. if i studied, used up my time efficiently, i would have slept early, go my beauty rest and ready to take on the world tomorrow with less worries. plus, i won't have to worry TOO MUCH, which i promised myself i wouldn't do, on cramming/ preparing for my exams because i'll be so ready for battle.
Mag-but nalang ko og DVD copy para matahimik na pud ka id.

remeber: LOVE YOURSELF because kahit gumuho pa ang mundo and everyone dies-OA- you wil ONLY have yourself. or kahit you don't have anyone to be with you... you have yoursef, so take care of it because that's the thing you are so close to owning. the only thing you can solely control.

LOVE YOURSELF. rebuild what was lost/broken. I WILL CREATE THE NEW ME.

GO for GOAL... kring. LOVE YOURSELF> i do>I WILL.

so a thought na nbaman occured to me... what was that mind... wala man... tan-awa lagi.
ako mang gyunbg mind is talking to itself-- relying on motivation before i could act... but remember baya, ACTION,MOTIVATION,and more action... naa na pud- SAYS WHO, to hell with what they say.

REFUTAL: what they say is right, you wanna test it? ahahaha.

SIGE SUGOD NATA... karon lang ni nga dugay ta maka-tulog, but tomorrow, resume with the usual schedue... waa na tay mabuhat, human na, damage done. learn from it and learn to think and write things through.

LOVE YA KRING> mwah...

fancy theatrics

2009-01-06T05:16:00.000-08:00

EDUC teacher---ma'am... humor me. please.hahaha.
out with the old, in with the new, come o chunky.
if there's a phrase i could describe the teaching stye of our new teacher in EDUC 50 it would be... fancy theatrics. her movements are... funny, exaggerated, lively. she's on the right side of the room, then goes to the left, imitates sir pilones, gives a joke and then some puns. there's no end to her creative mind! i believe she has an inclination to acting... hmm, not quite sure but that's the vibe she's sending out. nevertheless, she's fun,fun,fun!

long live ma'am chunky!

uh! what the heck, i'll say this now-here! i got a 69 raw score for RLE and a 68 raw score from HC... but i'm happy with it. with all the inner turmoil- joke... elaborate mind's the term... it's a surprise i passed. LESSON LLEARNED: do not EXPECT FOR ANYTHING because the general principle there is... you cannot predict the future, what your (I'm) thinking may not be in-sync with that of the CI's. you're NOT PERFECT to get all the answers correcty-- learn and grow and learn some more, add some application to etch 'somewhere'.

BUT I'm so HAppy nevertheless... so proud with myself--- very good self... cheers, yeah!,let's toast to the results.

basicaly, i'm proud with ALL the results of my prelim exams-- so high, so commendable, done with pride and hardwork (some cramming).

i have promises to keep to myself and that is to LOVE MYSEF EVEN MORE. REBUILD WHAT WAS BROKEN. and fortify a new ME!!!

hehe... GO FOR GOAL kring!

LOVE YA.

sunday-dunday

2009-01-04T05:50:00.000-08:00

sunday! church! study! yelp! ah, yes the retdem prep is just easy-breezy-covergirl. i did start on my microbio thingy... and i'm still going to start reading nutri.

what a day!

GO FOR GOAL!

saturday fling

2009-01-03T17:07:00.000-08:00

so my saturday is, how shall we say this, more fruitful than friday's escapade basing on how many tasks i've managed to get done. yes, i've started on my retdem procedure review although it was kinda hard for me to remember the ACTUAL procedure that ma'am Alvarez showed us. i had some stops along the way, but i did manage to get the whole picture and memorized most of the text. surprisingly, i hadn't started doing my educ project despite being so simple, no sweat indeed. how can i blame myself, Mulan was too good to miss! but i was full of glee...wee... since i was able to read the chapter on vitamins!!! hahaha!!!

thank heaven for another day, Sunday! i admit, i feel like being in an autoclave... too much pressure exerted by the machine raising the temprerature to a whopping 131 deg or so for 15 minutes or more waiting for the steam to percolate the entire content- i feel like blowing up! but that's the wonder of life so to speak. I JUST HAVE TO REMEMBER that this is just EMOTIONAL REASONING not RATIONAL THINKING!!! OVERGERALIZING + MAGNIFICATION to boot!!!
i may feel like it but it doesn't mean the exact thing.

RATIONAL RESPONSE: kring, you may be feeling like you're already tired but are you really? are you not able to stand up and go to work, you mean you haven't taken your breakfast and such? do you really need to motivate yourself first before you can start on your tasks? NO!NO! NO! NO! i may feel like it but it doesn't necessarily reflect what things are. ACTION comes first then motivation then more action! you are simply overwhelming yourself by enumerating ALL things your suppose to be doing and wanting to be like superwoman or crazy mad genius to finish it in JUST ONE DAY! be realistic. plan. distribute the work. relax a bit. dare to be average? these are just LITTLE THINGS ought to be done and if you can't do them then... hell what the heck! you're not ms. perfect to have to punish yourself to do all these and tell yourself that ur no good if you can't do these things, ur a failure!--- OA!!! it's not the end of the world. Assignments lang ni sila uy! they are simply little things. Calm down and be rational!!!!
don't blow these things out of proportion!!!
GO FOR GOAL! no matter what they make think of you... it doesn't matter because their thoughts can't kill you... YOURS WILL!!! so, LOVE YOURSELF!!!

I LOVE MYSELF-kringkring

microbio much...

2009-01-02T06:14:00.000-08:00

so this day is marked by my joyous feeling of finally starting on my assigned tasks. yeah! to eases this somewhat woeful me, i read microbio chapter 9. chapter 9 is fairly simple since i already have a background on microbial growth and control. although chapter 9 is a surprising 20 pages compared to the other chapters which contain up to about 40 or so, it took me the whole day to read it! it wasn't purely all read... i had my creative mind whip up some imaginations to break the ice- you don't expect me to put ALL my focus on this thing right?

i may had plans to start memorizing for my return demonstration but there's a change in plans... tomorrow, Jan. 3, will be devoted to retdem preparations and that educ project. oh, and i also planned to get started on my nutrition review for my prelims tomorrow.

the key to "not cramming" is simply adjusting your time schedule, patching in some study time to those regular days... haaay.

SUNDAY: read chapter 10 of microbio, review my retdem, get started on minerals(nutrition) and sleep!

MONDAY: have MIDTERMS printed, read chapter 11 of microbio, review retdem if i'm not done yet, finalize educ project, read chapter on carbohydrates, read chapter on proteins

TUESDAY: Chapter 4 on Philo, furnish STS stock knowedge & sleep! FATS (nutrition)

WEDNESDAY: review on microbio lab midterms, read chapter 12 of micrbio, review on HC/RLE, NUTRITION

THURSDAY: uh... review on HC/RLE midterms, chapter rev. on 9 & 10 of microbio, review on EDUC midterms, MICROBIO MIDTERMS!!!

FRIDAY: NUTRITION!!!

SATURDAY: chapter rev. on 11 & 12 of microbio, review for HC/RLE midterms, read philo chapter 5

SUNDAY: review on.........................................................................

I WILL MANAGE THIS!!!

GO FOR GOAL kring! haita.haita.

the angel of darkness

2009-01-01T04:33:00.000-08:00

as the title suggests... yes, i've finished reading the angel of darkness by Caleb Carr and boy it's jampacked with history and psychology. the book is of course written on the point of view of Stevie Taggert--- one of Dr. Kreizler's associates--- former thief & street ass turned reformed boy.

there's the main antagonist Libby Hatch(wet nurse, nurse,maid) who initially kidnaps the baby of a spanish diplomat(FYI: the story takes place at a time where the Spain and USA are in conflicting terms to the extent that a war may insue). so the mother hires Ms. Howard, who in turn asks help from her partners-in-crime, to find her baby--- the witch hunt begins! as they were finding info on the woman they stumble upon a number of other conincidental deaths of children who were under the care of Libby Hatch at this certain hospital. the team grows more and more involved and intrigued by the case, especially Dr. Kreizler (noted psychologist of New York). Dr. Kreizer believes that this woman is a paradox, at least her behavior is. She paints an image of a mother, a hussler, the seductress, the lowly widow of some men. she's like this actress who's wearing masks of diff. characters in one show! (this mights have been the reason why the book was titled such--- the angel of darkness--- angel- a picture of heavenly kindness, the personification of purity and light--- and darkness? hmm... thaat is out of the question! truly a paradox, i mean how can such a being be of darkness.)

the case even takes the bunch of "detectives" to a place as far as Ballston Spa where this lawyer, Mr. Picton, takes on Libby Hatch in court.

Ah, yes... very sad for the reason that some of their comrades died! huhu! but the resolution is a happy ending!

As for me... it's study time! Hope to be reading more books from Caleb Carr.
GO FOR GOAL.
