all the best laid plans of mice and men....

manila was fun, chaotic, fattening and expensive lol i'm such a miser. i just can't get over the restaurant prices. i mean 65 pesos for an iced tea?? damn...

we were at glorietta the night before the bombing so it was just plain luck that we weren't in the vicinity the next day because we decided to go to greenhills instead. manila was scary. the taxi drivers even scarier.

and oh, blooper:

taxi driver: saan banda kayo sa santillian?
maggie: basta sa st. illian's inn
taxi driver: anong baranggay ba yun?
maggie: eh ba't hindi mo alam
taxi driver: ...

along santillian street

taxi driver: kakanan ba o kakaliwa?
me: hanapin lg natin yung st. illian's inn...we trust you manong!
my companions: *guffaws* *snickers*

taxi driver hindi na nakapagsalita hahahahaha

oh the drama before and during the manila escapade...first there was the last-minute decision of two of our kabarkadas to join the manila trip, find-the-hotel-that-could-accomodate-all-of-us panic, them being late and taking the last flight, them going to a cousin's condo instead of staying w/ us in the hotel, bitchy dialogs between two "best friends" over conti's menu, taking a picture of KC concepcion (she's so gwapa, buot, kinis and THIN) and maggie (a kabarkada) and then refusing KC's offer to have a picture with her(hahaha shit, can i say STARSTRUCK?), moving to another hotel to cut on expenses, and EK mending all our barkada's squabbles and differences...


too bad the space shuttle kinda bonked out...we were like the next batch(or second) to ride it. it was another blessing in disguise because i was having second thoughts riding the damn thing....i mean hello??

up and up and away VS space shuttle

me who gets motion sickness and whose consolation up in the air are my rosary and the barf bag


who's the wuzz (wimp + pussy)?

nclex results will be snail mailed after a month. i don't know how i did. i was pretty confident i did good early in the exam and was expecting the exam to stop at 75. but it didn't stop until question #126, so i don't know. it's CAT (computer adaptive test) so the number of questions doesn't say whether you pass or fail. passing depends on the test taker's performance and if the results are maintained above the passing line in the graph.


plans to meet w/ friends and classmates never materialized because of the schedule, the bombing, and me unfamiliar with the city. too little time, too many things to do.

i did meet aimee, fellow komsai, at trident tower because she was with her sister and brother-in-law who were also taking the test.


iloilo is safe. but i could get used to manila hehehe
