i miss the bigger world
still here in Filinvest, it's been a little more than a week now and yet i don't regret my self-imposed solitary confinement since i haven't been out much in a while really... i've graduated last March and since then my routine has been: stay at home and watch DVDs and meet old blockmates on weekends. and that was it, i didn't add anything new to my world yet... unlike most of my friends who are all in med, i don't have new friends haha. it's a good thing i got a part time job in Learning Tree, but that school has already been part of my life since pre-school and my mom works there too haha. i miss being out there, beyond my comfort zone. i miss the bigger world, the great unknown... and i compensate for that by greeting anyone who's having his/her birthday a happy birthday... just so i know the "out there" still exists... i guess my year off isn't working well for me socially haha. i've always been a big people person, and now, nada. nothing new. haha. and yet i chose this... i guess i'm growing up in a way that i really do know what my priorities are, work hard play hard for real this time. after the crazy silence of my quiet world for now, comes the celebration (i hope). i can't wait for Med. :) soon enough, imma be out there again. i just need this too, i need me. :p with ME in tune, i know i can be up for anything with a renewed energy and focus... haha. that's that. now back to my world.

my lola force-feeds me chocolate cake for breakfast
i deserve an applause for surviving a whole week of studying. :D *clap clap clap.
i've finally finished chem (both general and organic) and physics, and i've even made reviewers!!! YAY. bio's really loooooong and i'm taking time with the reviewers but i'm done reading. woohoo. i guess it finally registered in my brain that i truly truly need this wahaha. and i will survive. (woohoo fave karaoke song. haha).
the next thing i need to include in my newfound schedule is exercise. since i'm no longer sick, my body can probably take it. :P i seriously need that coz i doubt that grandmas have a sense of "fatness." when i tried refusing chocolate cake by saying, it's fattening my lola was like "What no?! i just had two..." waaaaah... soo i had to eat it so her feelings wouldn't be hurt haha. it's a good thing i have really small meals now and limit my soda and juice intake thanks to self-imposed water therapy. haha.
anyway, i've been shopping for the past two days to reward myself after a study-thon in G4, i look for the sign SALE and go in haha... damn debenhams their sale items dont fit me, grrr.. exercise!!!! at least my tita bought me a dress/polo dress from Tango and a Mich dulce jumper dress from Urban Bazaar at rockwell... woohoo. plus dinner at outback..loving this life. and loving the motivations haha. anyway, the guy at gloria jean's G4 is hitting on me, guess i'm still hot despite the fats.. wahahahaha. i knew that :P
sooo back to reality, which is my BIG FAT BIO BOOK! oh but i'm happy nonetheless... once i get this done (having an uber great score in my MCAT), imma be living in Singapore... wooooohoo!

um actually it's "is supposedly" seriously studying for MCAT. :P well i am actually, i just spotted the laptop and decided to take a one hour internet break since i'm right on track with all the studying.. um that means i'm still on schedule and i'm not planning to deviate from that hehe. :D i'm actually excited for the test now, not in a sense that i can't wait for it to be over, more of, "oh wow, this is really happening! woohoo." and the world seems to add to my excitement, with lifestyle asia magazine covering singapore, and a discovery channel special on the lion city.. *sigh. i simply can't wait. and i really hope this one's for me :) my goal is to get at least a 35 in the MCAT, that's considered competent enough... higher's better :D BUT imma stil take the NMAT and apply to UST, UE and um probably FEU. i dunno, still thinking of the med schools here in the Phils. I still need a plan B. :P plan C's new york, haha. anyway, i gotta go. my hour's almost up (sounds like i'm dying. lol.) :P. will get back to the world soon :)
