this is the first [again] that i've written a bLog..
so many events had happened oredy~~
i wanna update you guys.. =)
so MANY PEOPLE HAD COME AND GONE [again]~~
i'LL do this spontaneousLy..
whatever pops out of my mind, that's what i'LL write here.. *hehe* =)



On JULY 1, 2009
 -- i bumped a kid.. a Li'L boy..
 [i'LL just copy and paste my comment to one of my friends in FS about it..]



 so here:
 i was driving the motorcycLe (juLy 1 @ around 6PM)
 and one of our heLpers was with me (backride).
 we were supposed to get our tricycLe drivers'
 boundaries..



 enen when i passed by the eLementary
 sk0oL's pedestrian, it was a GO.
 (not that there was any signaL Light.. LOL)



  every singLe person was on STOP
 and no one dared to move.
 they were aLL waiting for the vehicLes to pass..
 (the road was kinda narrow in that part of the worLd.)
 so i was on sLow speed Like 20-30kph..
 enen i dunno where the kid came from,
 it was too quick.
 but i think i stiLL saw him Look
 at our side of the road and
 i never thought/beLieved he was gonna cross.




 but ALL OF A SUDDEN, I JUST FELT THAT I BUMPED HIM.
 (damn.. i remember how it feeLs Like.. crap!!)
 enen i suddenLy stopped, shocked!!
 and coz he was running when i bumped him,
 he was kinda sLowLy thrown to the middLe of the road.
 good thing he wasn't ran over by the big vehicLes!! *whew*

  


 after i saw him "fLy" and Land on his Left side..
 i parked in a fLash.
 (not reaLLy thinking/caring if i was
 aLready bLocking the road or something..)

  peopLe aLready heLped the kid stand
 when i got near him.
 he was (of course) shocked TOO.
 i was shaking a bit and aLL worried about him.
 i asked him the simpLest question/s ever:
 "ARE YOU OKAY?? WHERE DOES IT HURT??"




  but since he was shocked, he didn't answer me.
 enen out of nowhere his shaking mother
 came to us and i toLd her right away
 the most important thing:
 "LET'S GO BRING HIM TO THE NEAREST HOSPITAL."
 and she was Like: "A.. OK.. WHERE??"
 i was Like: "EXACTLY. WHERE."
 enen she was saying some cLinic's/ doctor's name
 that i didn't understand in any way possibLe..
 so i just said we'd bring her boy
 to the hospitaL in "bayan".
 and so i Let them ride the motorcycLe with me.
 (i just toLd our heLper to go home
 and get my waLLet and bring it to the hospitaL.)




 enen we were just moving for a
 coupLe of meters when the mother toLd me
 to stop and wait a sec..
 enen out of nowhere again,
 a super-furious-and-shouting woman
 came to us.
 she asked me:
 "WHERE'S YOUR LICENSE??!! DO YOU HAVE ONE??!!"
 and i said: "NO."
 (deep inside: yeah. i have a student's License but
 i dunno where the heck i kept it coz it was NEVER
 needed. i never drive in the highways..
 i stay in the viLLage and at the boundary
 of the roads where if u cross (driving)
 without a heLmet and a License,
 YOU'D GET CAUGHT RIGHT THERE AND THEN.)




 and she said:
 "THAT'S PROHIBITED!! DRIVING WITHOUT LICENSE!!
 and i was Like: "I KNOW."
 she said: "HOW OLD ARE YOU??!!"
 me: "19."
 she: "AHA!! COME WITH ME TO THE POLICE!!"
 me: "OK."
 (deep inside: is there a poLice a here??!!
 there is not even a singLe "municipaL" traffic enforcer!!)
 (coz that part of the worLd is Like a province.
 just our viLLage Lies in the inner part
 and doesn't reaLLy Look much of a province anymore..)





  she said: "HOW OLD ARE YOU??!!"
 me: "19 po."
 she: "AHA!! COME WITH ME TO THE POLICE!!"
 me: "OK po."
 (deep inside: is there a poLice here??!!
 there is not even a singLe "municipaL" traffic enforcer!!)
 (coz that part of the worLd is Like a province.
 just our viLLage Lies in the inner part
 and doesn't reaLLy Look much of a province anymore..)



 she even toLd the mother and the peopLe around
 NOT TO LET ME GO. (i never pLanned to escape, anyway..)
 but them peopLe didn't Look angry at me or anything..
 i was kinda happy that they were Like empathizing on me..



  just i heard some parents were
 scoLding their kids and teLLing them:
 "YOU!! NEVER DO WHAT THAT KID DID, OK??!!
 DON'T CROSS THE ROADS WHEN bLah bLah bLah~~"

  enen i foLLowed the "super-furious-and-shouting woman"
 and we got in front of a JAILGUARD..
 (a jaiLguard who didn't even know what happened
 and had no cLue what he shouLd do..)
 JAILGUARD: "UHM.. SO.. WHAT DO I DO??.."



  i thought:
 "WOW.. NICE. MY SUGGESTION OF BRINGING
 THE BOY TO THE HOSPITAL RIGHT AWAY WAS THE BEST
 AND SHOULD BE FOLLOWED N-O-W!!"


 ~~Let's skip the unimportant parts~~


 so we were on our way to the hospitaL again..
 and the mother and i were taLking..
 she was kinda apoLogizing for the
 "super-furious-and-shouting woman"..
 i just toLd her it was ok..
 i aLso toLd the boy hundreds of times
 NOT TO EVER CROSS THE ROAD LIKE THAT AGAIN.
 i asked the mother why she was on that side
 and her boy is on the other side..
 she said her boy asked her for money to
 buy some food at the store across the road.
 whiLe it was a go, she said she kept on signaLLing
 and shouting her boy not to cross..
 but another mother caught her attention for a whiLe
 enen POOF!! SHE DIDN'T SEE WHAT HAPPENED.
 she just knew "it" when them peopLe around toLd her
 aLready, and shaking her..



  when we got to the hospitaL,
 i rushed to the emergency room.
 i kinda feLt it was famiLiar
 (not just because i experienced being an ER NURSE)
 but because i aLready brought my 2nd brother
 there once when he had a motor crash..



 i toLd the nurse:
 "I BUMPED THIS BOY HERE. PLEASE CHECK HIM UP."
 nurse: "WHO BUMPED HIM??"
 me: ME. (i even raised my hand Like i was so proud.. LOL)

  
anyways..
 so there.
 the doctor came and checked him up..
 and Like my finding when i checked the boy
 at the scene: NO SINGLE SCRATCH (visibLe).
 and he asked what hurst but the boy didn't say
 a thing.. the mother said: "THE HEAD."


 so he ordered for an xray..
 i was Like:
 "IT'S OK. BUT HOW MUCH WOULD THAT COST?? JUST SO I'D BE PREPARED.."

  
~~skip skip~~


 doc: THE XRAY IS NORMAL.
 me: YES! THANK GOD! (cLapping my hands.. LOL)


  so everything was settLed.
 the physicaL assessment/examination
 for the boy was aLL normaL.
 and the xray was aLL good too.
 the doc just prescribed anaLgesic/antipyretic
 mostLy for prophyLaxis and yeah for the pain
 if ever the chiLd feLt something..


 before i parted ways with the mother and her boy,
 the mother toLd her boy to
 "thank me for not running away.." LOL
 crazy huh??


 in fairness ay maayos taLga kausap yung
 nanay at tunay syang pasaLamat saken.
 she said she was just worried about
 what her husband might do/say to her
 when he finds out..



  so the next day (june 2), we met again at the hospitaL
 to get their copy of the xray pLate
 with the printed resuLts on it and to settLe some stuffs..
 i was with my lola (mama emy).
 the boy's father was there.
 i said good afternoon but he suddenLy said:
 "I WANT MY BOY TO UNDERGO CT SCAN."
 (with his face aLL frowning and crappy.)
 he never dared Look at me for Longer than 1sec.. LOL



  i was kinda shocked coz i knew CT Scan
 was not needed anymore..



 when i rushed the boy at the ER on the very day
 of the accident the doc toLd us that CT Scan
 was not needed unLess within the 24hours
 starting from the time the boy was hit,
 he'd show signs of neuro probLems Like
 dizzeness, nausea, vomiting, sLeepiness, bLah bLah bLah..



 the doc even said that he didn't want to subject
 the boy to "super radiation" when it's not
 reaLLy necessary.



 pLus the fact that CT SCAN IS DAMN EXPENSIVE!!
 weLL.. yeah. we can just say that CT SCAN IS EXPENSIVE.
 or simpLy.. CT SCAN IS NOT CHEAP!!


 LOL


 but i toLd them (the parents):
 "LET'S JUST WAIT FOR THE DOC'S DECISION.
 AND LET'S WAIT FOR THE 24HOURS TO FINISH LATER.
 ANYWAYS, YOU HAVE MY NUMBER AND ADDRESS (and i don't have yours).
 PLEASE JUST CONTACT ME ANYTIME YOU MIGHT NEED ME
 AND I STILL HAVE TO TALK TO MY PARENTS.
 THANK YOU."



 so it ended there..



 and btw. the father's sister was my mom's officemate
 and LuckiLy she was kind too (said my mom).
 my mom said that the father's sister didn't agree
 about the CT Scan thingy too..



 my mom toLd me to bring the boy to
 that doc again for foLLow-up check up
 (supposedLy this morning)
 and ask for a medicaL cLearance
 stating there that "no further interventions
 or diagnosis/exams are needed anymore".



 weLL that's ALL FOR LEGALITY'S SAKE.
 and TO END THE DOT THAT MIGHT TURN INTO
 A VOLCANO IF NOT PREVENTED FROM GETTING BIG.. LOL



 i understand the father too..
 i understand that he's a parent who is just
 "overLy worried" about his Li'L boy..
 but.. they have to understand me too..
 i am just a student and a chiLd who doesn't
 want to give my parents more probLems
 aLong with the probLem i aLready gave them..



 we can just make Life easier, u know..
 the boy was aLL fine. THANK GOD.
 but i stiLL pray that he won't have any compLications
 forever from that LittLe crappy accident.. *sigh*

  aLL in aLL, (i swear) my LittLe crappy accident
 was not too serious if you wouLd just be open-minded.
 we can aLL just stop making a fuss.. *sigh*



 i stiLL hope there'd be no probLems
 regarding that matter anymore..



 i just wanna move on.. LOL



 i'm grounded for driving the motorcycLe
 untiL i renew my License (that i am stiLL too Lazy to do).
 but i'm a bit excited too..
 coz non-professionaL License means
 I CAN aLready DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAYS!! v^.^
 that means MORE CHALLENGE!! LOL
 and that's even more chaLLenging than
 driving a car on the highways.. *wink*



 but i don't think i'd be abLe to take
 aLL the poLLution and dust and bLah bLah bLah..
 now that's a prob..
 *sigh*



 but anyways..
 i don't think my driving skiLL
 was even affected by that accident in any way..
 i stiLL wanna be confident & unafraid..
 it was my first accident (and hopefuLLy the Last..).



Let's just hope for the best. =)



♥take care and i hope u Learned some Lessons.. *haha*

God bLess. =)

requirement in POC ~~DIARY

2009-02-15T01:06:00.000-08:00

MY P.O.C. DIARY

FIRST WEEK

February 2, 2009

It’s our first time to step into the vicinity of the Philippine Orthopedic Center (POC). It’s actually our first day of the ten days duty that is 4 hours each day (6am-10am). There were a lot of student nurses from other different colleges and universities who were with us for the orientation. The nursing supervisors tackled about the Balance Skeletal Traction (BST) and even demonstrated the whole procedure of application right before our very eyes. Some of us were so lucky to be able to see and hear everything clearly because we got the right (seat) position compared to the others. Ma’am Gloria Glecy G. Giorla, our clinical instructor (CI) was in a hurry but she was very accommodating. Not to mention that she is a beauty. J

February 3, 2009

It’s our second day in POC. The starting activity was having a pretest about the anatomy and physiology of the musculoskeletal system. I passed and THANK GOD for my “stock-up knowledge”. J Ma’am Giorla took us to the male traction ward. We performed taking of vital signs of our individual patients. My patient has antibiotic beads on his right thigh because he developed an infection on the site. He had his daughter with him as companion and they eventually told me that his daughter is a BS Nursing graduate from batch 2008 and that she was just waiting for the result of the licensure examination that she took on November of the same year. The daughter asked me why I still took up nursing when I already knew that there are lesser job opportunities for nurses already. I told her and my patient, “I really wanted this course. I was planning it to be my pre-med. And I have a strong faith that I will get a job after graduation.” J But I told them that there is also a possibility that I won’t pursue medicine anymore but just continue to be a nurse practitioner or specialize in any nursing area I am greatly interested in (which would be one of the following: OR, DR, nursery, psychiatric nursing). And then during our stay in the area, I found out that most of the cases of the patients there were caused by motor accidents. I told my patient I love driving the motorcycle then he told me to just be careful and not to drive anything more than 1000cc. I said I just drive either a 125 or a 100 and I’m still not planning to try the highway. J After going to the ward, Ma’am Giorla gave us a lecture about the hardwares. She showed us the dolls with different tractions and casts, and also some braces.

February 4, 2009

It’s our third day in POC. We took a long test about the lecture yesterday –casts, tractions and braces (hardwares, in short). I was hoping to pass, and so I did. THANK GOD for the “stock-up knowledge” again. J We went to the library to do a research about our reports. I was assigned to do a report about multiple sclerosis. I learned the basics about my topic by just looking at the works of the other students. They were pretty helpful. J After the library work, we went to the male traction ward and performed vital signs taking and morning care (bed bath) to the same patients we had yesterday. It was not that hard, though it was my first time to have an adult male patient. My patient was very cooperative. He had his IV dislodged and a nurse on IV training tried to reinsert a new IV but failed. My patient complained that he had trauma with the IV trainee and thanked the staff nurse who did it easily and perfectly after the first “traumatic” one.

February 5, 2009

It’s our fourth day in POC. The activity was all about us doing the return demonstration of the Balance Skeletal Traction (BST). We were grouped into 3. I belonged to the four-member group with Kylie, Maryann and Mae. Ma’am Giorla first demonstrated the procedure so that we could have a review. A group of nursing students from other school joined us in watching our CI do a perfect BST. J My group was the 2^nd to perform BST. We forgot some nursing responsibilities and made little mistakes but we did it pretty well. And now that made me strongly believe that 2 (4, actually) heads are better than 1. J We got a grade of 91% and we were so happy about it. Thanks to Ma’am Giorla. J

February 6, 2009

It’s our fifth day and the last day of our first week in POC. Ma’am Giorla was not able to come so Sir Servan handled us together with his group, our block mates –group 4. We had reporting. I was not able to report because we were running out of time. Sir Servan gave us a lecture and showed us the different gadgets and also some x-ray plates of the different bone deformities and the actual look of the gadgets inserted in the patients’ bodies. After that, we took a long test about the lecture. I was so glad again to have passed the test. J

SECOND WEEK

February 9, 2009

It’s our sixth day and first day for our last week in POC. We went to the pediatric ward which was temporarily located at the hospital’s gym because of the on-going renovation of the real ward. It was my first time to see children with pins inserted in their bodies (legs, specifically), usually BST. I pity the children very much. I could hardly look at them because I feel like it was too painful and too much for them to bear. I suddenly thought, “I AM SO LUCKY TO HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY HOSPITALIZATION SINCE BIRTH.” I wish that they all get well soon. I salute them for still being able to smile despite their conditions. We rendered morning care to our patients and took their vital signs. I got a very cute, little girl patient. She is 3 years old and when I asked what her name was, she shyly replied with an accompanying shy smile, “Ate Cheng-Cheng.” I thought she was really shy at first because she was hiding under her blanket. But I found out I was totally wrong when her grandmother told me that she was just scared of the doctors who were doing their rounds. And I just want to say that I thought her grandmother was her mother (and I kept calling her “nanay”/mommy and I asked what happened to her “daughter”) until the “not-so-young” woman whispered to me that Ate Cheng-Cheng is actually her granddaughter. She even mentioned that her youngest is a 2 year old, who is obviously one year younger than my patient. She said they were from Bulacan. She also kept on mentioning that the students from other schools gave them toys, food, etc. which made me think that she was wondering why we didn’t have anything for them. Anyway, I was just so fond of my cute patient because she became so jolly and “makulit” after all the doctors left the area. She even sang me song from her favorite afternoon TV show (that is not totally advised for children her age). But too bad I don’t know the song so I couldn’t sing with her. And then before we left the pediatric ward and bid our patients goodbye, Ate Cheng-Cheng suddenly got “pissed” at me because she thought I was making fun of her that caused her to be ashamed. But it was not me -- It was actually my other group mates. I tried to explain to her the truth and tried to “make-up” with her but she just won’t look at me. L And then it was really our time to leave because some other schools were scheduled next to us and so I got a little present from my pocket and handed it to her. She smiled, bid goodbye, and even thanked me. I felt relieved. J

February 10, 2009

It’s our seventh day in POC. I reported about multiple sclerosis. Ma’am Giorla took us to the female traction ward where we rendered morning care to our patients. I noticed that most of the patients in the area were old women and concluded that most of them had hip dislocation. My patient was a 15 year old girl who was bumped by a scooter/motorcycle in Pangasinan. She traveled all the way from her hometown to POC to seek medical attention. I was so shocked with the extreme spine curvature (a big lump on her back) she got from the accident. She has severe weakness of the lower extremities that causes her to carry her legs whenever she needed to move or change position. She just had one companion with her. Her family does not visit her all the time because of the great distance. I really pity her and wish she could still go back to normal or if not, I wish she could already go back home because I know she misses her family so, so much. After rendering her with morning care, I and Mae did the same to the patient beside her who was a grandmother. I forgot her age but I think she is past her 70’s. We were so careful in rendering her care because we were so scared to cause her pain on her pinned leg or make her feel uncomfortable. The patients in the area were all so cooperative and everyone smiles a lot despite their conditions. J After going to the ward, we had our group picture-taking together with Ma’am Giorla and Sir Servan. It was fun. J

February 11, 2009

It’s our 8^th day in POC (and it’s my mom’s birthday). J We had reporting. We got our copies of the group pictures. J After that, we went to the male service ward where we saw that most of the patients’ external fixators were delta frame, hybrid, Roger-Anderson External Fixator (RAEF), and spanning. Some of them also had posterior molds. The causes are mostly motor accidents, mauling (beating), and some other accidents. It was our first time to see a patient with osteosarcoma (bone tumor) on the femur. It was too big that we thought it was just a pillow on top of his right thigh covered with a blanket. We wanted to do further observation or even conduct an interview but we didn’t want the patient to feel ashamed or uncomfortable and besides, we didn’t have time anymore. Maybe we’d go back next time. Ma’am Giorla said it would have been better if his case was the one we made an analysis about. But it was too late since we already got a patient for the group case presentation/analysis. We also went to the spinal ward but we were not allowed to go beyond the door because there was a risk for acquiring spore-forming Pseudomonas. The students from the other schools looked at us in a funny way because we were wearing our smock gowns, clean gloves, masks, and Louie even wore a hairnet. But we pity them because we thought maybe they did not know the risk and we were just protecting ourselves from the microorganisms.

February 12, 2009

It’s our ninth day in POC. It would just be reporting and maybe watching the video about club foot.

February 13, 2009

It’s our tenth day and last day in POC. Wow. We survived!! J It’s the evaluation day – we’ll be having our evaluation test that covers almost everything that we learned during our stay in POC. I wish for all of us to pass, of course. And THANK GOD and Ma’am Giorla for the fun and meaningful experience we had. We will not forget most of it.

i dunn0. maybe it's c0z 0f the LACK OF SLEEP f0r the past 5days 0r m0re..
and maybe the "n0t-eating-at-the-right-time" t0o. =(
i swear, s0metimes I FORGET/DO NOT NOTICE THE TIME.
and when i remember it, IT'S TOO LATE. =(
THIS IS SUICIDE again. *sigh*
you see, I CAN'T ALWAYS CONTROL THINGS.
as much as i wanna stick with EATING AT THE RIGHT TIME,
or EATING WHEN MY STOMACH TELLS ME THAT SHE'S GONNA BE DYING SOON,
I JUST CAN'T. n0t aLways.

speciaLLy during HOSPITAL DUTIES/CLASSES that require me to:
~~wake up when the rest 0f the w0rLd is stiLL sLeeping.
~~g0 h0me when my famiLy have aLready eaten their supper TOGETHER
and s0me 0f them are even sLeeping aLready when i arrive. =(

i kn0w these things happen t0 a Lot 0f pe0pLe everywhere.
n0t 0nLy t0 nursing students Like me, 0f c0urse.
and i d0n't need t0 menti0n the caLL center agents, right?? [hi, aian. haha. =P]
and I'M N0T C0MPLAINING. I'M JUST TELLING WHAT I FEEL. =)

0k. i'LL end this with that.
y0u want me t0 give y0u reas0ns why??
here:
~~i ran 0ut 0f ink and i've g0t t0ns 0f requirements t0 print.
~~s0 i g0tta g0 t0 0ne 0f the nearest c0mputer sh0ps ar0und.
~~and it's raining.
~~and my br0ther t0ok the m0t0rcycLe.
~~and i d0n't wanna waLk.
~~it's n0t that near. [but i'm n0t Lying that it's 0ne 0f the nearest.]
~~s0 i'm g0nna text him n0w this:
GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE NOW!! I NEED THAT MOTORCYCLE!! =)
[i'm n0t rude, am i??] ;P

g0odnight. sweet dreams.
it's the Last week 0f suicide. =)

How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb? (see each breed's answers below)

1. Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?

2. Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.

3. Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!

4. Rottweiler: Make me.

5. Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.

6. Labrador Retriever: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!

7. German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.

8. Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.

9. Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb!

10. Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.

11. Chihuahua : Yo quiero Taco Bulb. Or "We don't need no stinking light bulb."

12. Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?

13. Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle...

14. Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.

Keep going down..

How many cats does it take to change a light bulb?

Cats do not change light bulbs. People change light bulbs.

So, the real question is:

"How long will it be before I can expect some light, some dinner, and a massage?"

ALL OF WHICH PROVES, ONCE AGAIN, THAT WHILE DOGS HAVE MASTERS, CATS HAVE STAFF!

WHY GOD MADE PETS..

They help out around the house...

They protect our children ...

They look out for the smaller ones ...

They show us how to relax ...

They "converse" with each other ..

They help you when you're down ..

They are great at decorating for the Holidays

They have "great" expectations

They are Patriotic .

They are happy to "test" the water

They love their "teddies"

They know who's "BOSS" .. =)

AND - They know when we need a good LAUGH! =)

HAVE YOU SMILED TODAY?????

It is done by moving the corners of the mouth upward. =)

LET ME SHOW YOU HOW.............. =)

THIS IS ACTUALLY A MESSAGE FOR ME FROM MY GAIA ACCOUNT. =D

2009-01-08T01:45:00.000-08:00

••Li~YaN••

I HAVE MY REASONS.. =)

2009-01-05T18:01:00.000-08:00

so here i am again.. ABSENT FOR MY FIRST CLASS t0day.
it's not Like i'LL just write here whenever i "skip" cLasses.. haha. =P
i d0n't reaLLy skip as in SKIP cLasses, 0k??
weLL.. I HAVE MY REASONS for not attending my first cLass today.

1. I WOKE UP PRETTY LATE. [but not t0o Late..]
~~ and i was s0 Lazy to get up from bed. s0 i d0n't wanna rush AGAIN in

eating
preparing my things
taking a bath
brushing my teeth
wearing my unif0rm
etc.

2. I THINK [i pretty beLieve, actuaLLy] THAT THERE WON'T BE MUCH IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO AND DISCUSS IN THAT SUBJECT TODAY. =)
~~n0t because it's just a "min0r" subject.
[c0z our profess0r taught us that N0 SUBJECT IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN THE OTHER. because ALL SUBJECTS ARE IMPORTANT IN A WAY OR ANOTHER.]
~~and not aLso because it's our first meeting for the YEAR 2009.
~~I JUST THINK SO. i don't reaLLy need to make you understand, do i?? *wink*

3. I WILL USE THE TIME I'M ABSENT TO REVIEW
FOR THE PRE-TEST IN MY NEXT CLASS. =)
~~actuaLLy, it was an assignment during the aLmost
2 weeks christmas vacation to read the whoLe chapter
of the next topic. and i tried "with aLL my might"..
but i don't know why..
BY OPENING THE "BIG, THICK BOOK", I FEEL SLEEPY RIGHT AWAY.
and that's at Least after i find the page of the chapter in the glossary.
[i find the gLossary more convenient to use than the tabLe of contents.]
haha. =P

4. IT'S THRIFTY TO GO TO SCHOOL
AFTER I EAT LUNCH AT HOME. =)
~~yes. it couLd make me save some money. [which i rareLy do.] =P

so there. i have aLready stated my reasons.
and i don't care if they are "reasonabLe" en0ugh f0r you. *smiLes*
