Living life like a fairy tale

May Reads

Tue, 29 May 2012 01:38:00 +0800

Since I don’t have anything better to do, I thought I might as well make use of my time ~wisely~ and well, do a little review of some books I’ve read for this month. This could help me a lot in.. recalling, just in case I wanted to someday. (Maybe I could do this every month, or every 3 books or so? Hmm?)

Note: Chick lit girl here!:)

1. Sixteenth Summer (Michelle Dalton)

I’m a sucker for Summer novels and I don’t even know why. I know each almost has the same story — boy meets girl, they spend summer together, but by the end of summer one has to go back somewhere and all that usual summer love jazz and this book is no different. But somehow, I really enjoyed it. (Oh gosh, I so hate that I didn’t do this right after reading it! Note to self: Do a review thing right after reading something, especially if you liked/loved it!)

~ OH FINE! This is would no longer a REVIEW like, real review thing. This is going to be what I remember about the book and what I felt and all that. HAHAHA! Like, why is WILL such a nice name for a summer lover boy? (The Last Song — Liam Hemsworth!!) HAHAHA!

Loved this book! I would deffo suggest reading it. I liked the ending too, since Anna’s being realistic yet still hopeful at the same time. :)

2. Remember Me (Sophie Kinsella)

Got this at Book Sale some years (or last year, not sure :P) back and I just thought of reading it now. To tell you honestly, I’d go for books in a high school set-up over ones with adults with real jobs in a grown up world. ;-) But I kinda hated myself for not reading earlier, though — because it was actually okay :)

Anyway, it was fun to read since it’s all twisty and very scheme-y… and I like twisty and ‘scheme-y’ — although some were pretty predictable (duh?). However, it was kind of the same as other amnesiac stories where it proves that the mind might forget but the heart never will yadadida — you know what I’m talking about. (And I don’t know what to say anymore since I read it earlier this month. HAHAHA! This is really becoming pointless! :P)

I don’t know if the amnesia (forgot what the case is called in the book! It’s similar to The Vow’s) thing is possible in real life, but I like to imagine what it would be like if that was me in Lexi’s place. Wouldn’t that be awesome or annoying or what? HAHAHA

3. Before I Fall (Lauren Oliver)

It took me sooo loooong to decide to read it (bought this at Fully Booked, Feb or March I think) as well as to actually finish reading it — maybe because I’ve always been afraid of death and I don’t like having these weird thoughts and all so.. yeah.

The reason I got this book is because it has soo many good ‘reviews’ in the book itself — the front and back cover, that is — and judging from that, I thought it was a very moving and inspiring read. One of the ‘review’ even said “If you only read one book this year, it should be this one” so I had high expectations. My sister read this before I did (always) and said it’s not so good and I decided not to believe her since she’s black and I’m white (HAHAHAHA I don’t mean that literally :P) aka we don’t have the same taste in books — but I guess she’s right.

Unfortunately, it didn’t meet my expectations. :( I was expecting Nicholas-Sparks-Novel level of weeping! Don’t get me wrong though.Got teary-eyed and inspired and touched with some part, too.It was still a good book, but not the kind that I’d remember for a long time.

4. The Mosts (Melissa Senate)

Since I missed reading my usual (hahaha), I went for this one. I remember reading something Melissa Senate before and not liking it, but then again, everyone deserves a second chance (What I learned from the previous book :P) HAHA!

It was ~~yet again another~~ a book on groupies in high school and how the ‘losers’ aka the NOTS in the book no longer wants to be what other people label them as. So they ask help (more like ‘professional’ service haha since they paid for it) from a not-turned-most Madeline who is in dire need of cash for a plane ticket to California to be with her boyfriend of two years Thom who just moved there and her Dad’s wedding as well. Of course Madeline’s friends-but-not-really-REAL-friends didn’t like her being with the nots. So to make my story telling short (HAHA), Madeline realizes what she really wants and where she really belongs just being her self-est self ;)

I love books for 14-year-olds like this one so much I could live in them forever!!! :P

Long pointless post is what this is! HAHAHA!

Hi there, Hannah. :"> I've been following your blog and reading your posts for years already. Seriously. You inspire me so much. You are also one of the reasons why I took up Dentistry. I really wanna make friends with you. God bless! :)

Tue, 29 May 2012 00:02:19 +0800

OMG!!! :) That means SOOO MUCH to me and you just made my day!! :) Never thought I could be an inspiration to anyone! Hehe :”> Good luck with Dentistry! Yay for future dentists!:) God Bless you, too!:)

Enrolled myself to school today! So yes, I am officially going back to the torture chamber that is...

Mon, 28 May 2012 23:49:52 +0800

Enrolled myself to school today! So yes, I am officially going back to the torture chamber that is the Dentistry Building (plus everything in it) this coming semester.

Unfortunately, it took us the entire day to enroll. Talk about super hassle! I mean, I had plans for the afternoon for crying out loud! Usually, it wouldn’t even take us an hour to finish everything, but it’s quite different today. Aside from the fact that the Dentistry Family Population is starting to grow — hence, an actual queue when normally it’s just me and a couple of friends waiting for each other, there was also some error with our tuition and billing and whatsits. So of course they had to re-do it and stuff and we had to wait forever! :\

Oh well. At least now I’m enrolled and Yes, yes yes triple yes, I’m a CLINICIAN already! I’m equally nervous and excited! :) Haha!

Is there such thing as a PRE-quarterlife crisis? Or maybe a still-can’t-accept-you’re-...

Thu, 24 May 2012 23:59:00 +0800

Is there such thing as a PRE-quarterlife crisis? Or maybe a still-can’t-accept-you’re- already-20-year-old-you-just-wanna-be-16-forever sort of thing?

If there is, then I reckon it (whatever on earth it is!!!) is what’s happening to me. RIGHT NOW.

Had a date with my grade school BFF, Pauline <3 We’re a trio actually, but Anna’s...

Thu, 17 May 2012 23:47:00 +0800

Had a date with my grade school BFF, Pauline <3 We’re a trio actually, but Anna’s million miles away, so it’s just us two.

It was soo nice to see her again! If I’m not mistaken, the last time we spent time together was Summer of 2010 and that’s 2 looong years ago! Haha!

Actually, it is indeed a typical “date”. That means a movie plus (early) dinner. :P And since there’s no other decent movie showing, we went for Every breath U Take. Yes, Papa Piolo and Angelica P! And while I’m watching, I kept on thinking — oh no, scratch that — I kept wishing Piolo isn’t gay. I mean, hello? He’s just soo.. well, what’s the right term? Yummy? Hot? —okay let’s go for Yummy!! HAHAHAHAHA :P

The movie was okay, not exactly something I’d bother watching on a movie theater, if I had the choice. But I’m giving it the credit for being genuinely hilarious. There was even one point Pau and I dropped our bucket of popcorn (it was still 1/3 full!!) because of too much laughing! I guess that justifies how funny the movie is!

Right after the movie, we had our (very early) dinner. Chatted while eating, and of course, took pictures (Instagram! Yay! Lol)! It was nice to catch up. :)

Had a happy day today! Yay! :)

(All Instagram photos! Haha! it’s @hannarte btw! :P)

Mother's Day Cupcakes! <3

Wed, 16 May 2012 00:23:00 +0800

It’s kinda funny that same as last year, mum wasn’t around again on Mother’s Day. She was somewhere having a sort of vacation, if that’s how you wanna call it.

(Presented (HAHA) our little something for her the moment she got home — which was a little after midnight, and technically that’s no longer Mother’s Day :P)

My youngest sister and I decided to use our baking powers (HAHAHA) to make something for mum on her day. I’ve been wanting to try out these Rainbow Cupcakes because they’re just soo cute and I could not think of any other occasion suited for those sweet colorful goodies.

I also had my little cousins come over so they could also bake some for their own mommies (aka my ever dearest aunts — I wanna help make their day special) I had to make up a reason so I could steal them from their houses and do our thing. Hehe. I’m pretty sure they enjoyed it — I mean, who wouldn’t? When you’re 7, one way of having fun is messing around (literally). HAHA! Imagine what I had to clean up after the entire thing. Ha.

Honestly, the outcome wasn’t really that delicious — but not bad either. It was, okay. (But the cuteness makes up for the lack in the delicious-taste department hahaha so it’s all good!! :P) And unfortunately, the frosting is a failure :( Okay, semi-failure since we didn’t get the right consistency and I butter I used wasn’t unsalted. Next time I hope I could get everything perfect, YES?

This is a really simple thing we did for our mum, and I do hope she appreciates our effort. I’m not exactly the type person who is “extremely” showy — at least verbally with you know, sweetness and things like that (unlike Angel, who’s the bunso — it’s in her job description to be extra sweet HAHA) so I let these simple actions do the talking for me. Haha! :)

Happy Mother’s Day to the World’s Great MOM! <3 I know it’s not easy having a daughter like me, so THANK YOU! :)

Just so I have a reason to post~ Hehe

Yesterday was the 9th and that only meant one thing: it’s yet another ‘monthsary’...

Thu, 10 May 2012 14:17:29 +0800

Yesterday was the 9th and that only meant one thing: it’s yet another ‘monthsary’ for me and the boyfriend. It was our 71st!! Could you believe that? Haha! I know, I know — I did the counting right since I just need to multiply 12months x 6years and subtract a month. (See!! I’m a Math genius!! :P) Honestly, I never really kept tract of counting the months anymore. Well, I would count if I even get to remember it’s our ‘monthsary’ and I feel like posting a status wherever. HAHA! I have a huge tendency to forget, especially on school days — when you know, I have millions of things in mind. Hehehe~

Speaking of my ~relationship~ (which I guess is something I OFTEN talk about), we are bound to deal with yet another inescapable situation -slash- set-up -slash- challenge (whichever you prefer). You see, he recently graduated and he’ll be taking the ECE Licensure exam come October (I think) so for the next six months, he’d be somewhere far from me for his review. Oh, Fine. Maybe I’m exaggerating JUST a bit, but that’s who Hannah is!! BWAHAHAHAH! It’s just that I’m not used to.. well, seeing each other only once a week (He gets to go home on weekends, OFC!). And not only that — I have to quit being the clingy (not really - maybe just a little bit? HAHAHA), controlling and demanding (Oh gosh. I make myself sound like a really bad girlfriend HAHAHAHA) and be very cooperative and supportive because that’s what he needs. He needs to focus so he’d pass and be an engineer and start saving up for MY dream wedding. :P (Wait I know what you’ll think: I’m so selfish and narcissistic everything has to be about me HAHAHA) Erase the last part, I was only kidding you judgmental people! Heeee~

Also, when school starts, I would no longer be having a boyfriend in the next school which basically means no more lunch dates, breakfast dates or even those random-stolen-10-minutes-together-while-eating-siomai, and Hannah would no longer be rushing to get things done asap so I could sneak out of school and meet him. My friends would miss that last bit, I bet!! HAHAH!

Oh well. Short of the short is that I’m going to be partly single (Gusto pala hahaha) for the next months, if you get what I mean. Aside from the not-seeing-each-other-often, I also have to reduce texting and calling him. Ohhh the pains of the “Long Distance Relationship” PLUS the minimal communication — isn’t this a punishment or something?? HAHA! Well, Whatever. I guess it’s just something new (so I’m reacting like this hehe) and I know we’ll get used to this in time. :”>

Baking

Thu, 03 May 2012 11:47:43 +0800

If I were asked to name something productive I did this summer — at least for the past weeks, I guess that’d have to be my ~semi-desperate attempt on baking.

I know it isn’t ~baking~, but my sisters and I started with no-bake sweet treats aka anything that involves OREOS :P We gave Oreo ref cake and Wicked Oreos a try. FUN!:) (photos from my instagram ~ hannarte)

Did a semi-level up and tried out baking Brownies. Well, fine, it’s a Betty Crocker Mix and it wouldn’t take a kitchen genius to add this and that and bake it in the oven and voila, Brownies! Haha, but still!! :P

And just recently, we finally tried out baking an actual cake! I’m happy to say it tastes okay.. although the frosting and the decorating still needs a little little bit of improvement *winks HAHAHA

Obviously, the cake’s for my Dad who turned ~34~ (He claims that’s his age! Haha) last April 30. I guess he did like it — at least the effort and all. Hehehe.

Oh well, I know this is almost nothing, but I consider it the start of my baking extravaganza. I don’t really have a sweet tooth, so I don’t enjoy eating whatever I bake that much, but the entire process is really fun so I wanna bake some more! I plan on trying out rainbow cupcakes and maybe fondant, too!

Guess what?? I finally had the energy to update this blog!! Whoopwhoooooo :)) I was actually...

Thu, 03 May 2012 02:24:00 +0800

Guess what?? I finally had the energy to update this blog!! Whoopwhoooooo :))

I was actually ‘in the mood’ to do updates last night, but my photoshop (I was going to post pictures) won’t cooperate. It keeps on saying “scratch disks are full” and everything that google shows me just won’t work. And right now I’m just desperate, and I can’t work on any other version besides CS2 (I have cs5, but I’d rather stick to the playground I’m used to) so now I’m torrent-ing and will attempt to re-install. Hope that’ll fix it!!

So anyway, I made some changes in my site! :) Aside from the fact that I’ve finally bothered to change my age (that melancholic switch from nineTEEN to twenTEEN *sigh*) — and my photo too haha, I have also removed all links that are soooo last year and added up new ones! You could check out this link for my Books Read for 2012. Decided to dump the Movies Watched list since it’s just sooo hard to keep track. Also, I’m thinking of starting to categorize my post, like which one’s which and add up links to that specific ‘category’ on the sidebar or whatever *fingers super tightly crossed I’ll get to push through with this :P*

That’s it for now, I guess. Don’t worry, I’ll be continually flooding yer dashes real soon~ ttfn!

I badly want to update this blog, but I just can’t seem to think of anything to write about....

Fri, 27 Apr 2012 23:38:00 +0800

I badly want to update this blog, but I just can’t seem to think of anything to write about. Sure, I could rant about how I’m totally wasting this summer but I thought I’d rather not. I’m tryna change myself, yah know. HAHAHA

So here I am, just letting my fingers type with nothing specific in mind. But knowing me — this would prolly just be another rant about my interesting life — NOT!!

Ahhh weeeeellll. I’m not exactly in the mood to blog, nor even feeling happy so I guess I have nothing more to say. It’s still half and hour before midnight and I think I’m going to TRY to go to bed now. Screwed up body clock is just screwed up — normal sleep time is 3-5am. I know, it sucks.

Okay, bye.

POINTLESS ENTRY IS POINTLESS.

How to Choose Medical Uniforms

Mon, 23 Apr 2012 08:19:03 +0800

Whether you are a doctor, nurse, medical assistant or otherwise directly employed in the medical field, you may be required to wear medical uniforms on a daily basis. Picking out your wardrobe of uniforms might not be as simple as it sounds, though. Fortunately, when you arm yourself with knowledge regarding both what you want and what you need, you can shop for a workweek’s worth of uniforms with ease and confidence.

First, you should consider what type of medical uniforms your employer requires you to wear. For instance, it might be mandatory that you wear plain, solid colored scrubs. Perhaps you have to wear a lab coat over your outfit as well. On the other hand, specific colors might be used to identify your position, such as green scrubs for interns, dark blue for nurses and white for physicians. Determining such conditions can take away much of the work, making it easier for you to find what you need.

If you are not restricted to any certain color, you are in luck. Medical uniforms are available in virtually any shade imaginable, as well as designs such as animal prints, cartoon characters and prints that display support for your favorite cause. Choose hues that flatter your skin tone and hair color so that you can head to work looking and feeling your best every day. Your patients will appreciate it, too!

Uniforms come in an array of shapes and styles, as well. You can stick with the traditional V-neck tops, matching pants and a simple lab coat or jacket, if that is what you are comfortable wearing. Alternatively, though, you can opt for everything from scrub tops in empire waist or wrap-around designs, cargo-style scrub pants or A-line lab coats. Nothing says you have to be unfashionable to look professional and presentable.

Extra features that you might want to look for in medical uniforms include ample pockets, including those with Velcro, zippers or other closures so that you can carry items without worry of losing them; elastic waistbands or drawstrings in pants for ease of use and comfort; and twill tape or pockets hidden inside of your uniform for your cell phone or other personal effects.

Of course, you will want to consider prices when shopping for new uniforms. This is a highly personal aspect and there is no right or wrong amount. The good news is that scrubs and other medical attire are available in a wide range of prices, so there is something that will fit every budget.

Boyfriend's Graduation! :)

Mon, 16 Apr 2012 23:46:31 +0800

My boyfriend graduated from college last Friday and I’m really happy and sooo proud of him :) He surpassed 5 tough years of engineering-student life without failing.

And I finally had one (among my loooong list) of my ‘dream photos’ taken! Yipeee!! :))

Now he’s just a few steps away from being an Electronics Engineer! <3 Yay!

Holy Week 2012

Sun, 15 Apr 2012 01:02:21 +0800

Holy Wednesday — I got up earlier than my usual (haha) to go to my cousin’s and help her do the flower arrangements for their Saint’s karo, San Andres. After how many years.. well, I guess we’re improving. ;-)

I only had an hour of rest, and we were then again on the go — and it’s for the procession this time. Started walking around 4:30 pm and ended up at around 10 already (there was an hour or so of pause, for the mass). Oh imagine my legs and feet’s agony! But it’s fine. It’s kinda my lenten sacrifice.

* I know it’s not really Lenten-y but after the procession, my cousins (plus the boyfriends) and I had a little bonding (since it was also Ate Isay’s birthday) over a couple of drinks. HAHA! It was fun. There were too much stories to tell and I’m sooo glad we had a chance to catch up. Got home around 2 already ;)

Good Friday — We were up really early for our yearly Bisita Iglesia. It was kinda different this year, though. We usually visit 14 churches but we cut it down to only 7 this time. Just prayed two stations on each church to complete the 14 stations of the cross.

And because we only visited 7 — we were home early so we had an adequate time to take a rest for that yet another round of walk-fest for that night. It was almost the same as the procession as Miyerkules Santo’s, although as usual, the crowd grew bigger in number.

Easter Sunday — Forced myself to get out of bed really early in time for the 5 am “Salubong” and the mass that comes afterward as well. I just had to! Christ has risen!:)

There you go. That was how I spent my Holy Week — almost, if not exactly, the same as how I did last year. :P How was yours?

(Late post, but who cares? It’s always better late than never!)

9 Signs......

Sun, 08 Apr 2012 00:04:00 +0800

9 Signs that you’re an inactive -slash- non-updating -slash- basically an overall lazy blogger.

1. You’ve been 20 (twenteen!!) years old for the past 7 months (exactly 8 days away from the 7th month) but your little “about me” on your page still states you’re “nineteen”.

2. You could not remember when was the last time you changed your theme, given the fact that you actually used to like tweaking your theme around - at least every now and then.

3. 1st quarter of 20freakin12 is over and yet you still have that silly list of movies you’ve watched and books you’ve read for 2011. And you actually never updated it after last year’s summer for heaven’s sake!

4. You have a link of your “Project365” on your page. You are a year late, lazy ass. It’s supposed to be 366 for this year.

5. Tumblr followers?? Uh, what on earth is that?? HAHA You don’t have readers. You are the blogger and the reader. HAHAHA

6. You begin 90% of your posts (the latest ones aka the dormant days -or weeks? months??) with either.. “I know it’s been a while since my last post” or “Look who’s blogging?” or “Wow, that was *insert time duration here* since I last made an entry” yadadidadadablahblah

7. You’re on your summer vacayyyy for almost 2 weeks and now and what??? Still nothing.

8. You tend to do extra-ranting on twitter (or facebook) since you have nowhere to put your (mostly) non-sense thoughts.

9. Your name is HANNAH aka the lazy girl behind DaigKoPaSiCinderella.com :P Oh Wait, that’s me!!! HAHA

K fine! Will try to be as active as I could this Summer. Stay Tuned. :-P

Ready, Set.. SUMMER!!

Fri, 30 Mar 2012 00:14:03 +0800

Summer Kick Off: Batangas!! <3

Right after school’s done last Friday afternoon, my friends and I (My PG Loves and the PGF’s (PG Friends)) right then and there left to start our summer in Nasugbu, Batangas. Reached our destination a little before midnight and as soon as we got settled, we started the party!! ;-)

We stayed up the entire night just laughing and doing silly things over a bunch of drinks. Hella FUN!!

Well, fine. It wasn’t all just fun. There was a little drama portion too, but it’s private and I’d rather NEVER talk about again. EVER. Hahaha. But’s everything’s back to how it should be.. so.. let’s all pretend it didn’t even happen. Yes?:)

Some of us took a short nap at around 5am, while the others didn’t even bother taking a rest at all. (Jsyk, my boyfriend is a huge fan of sleeping, so you know which category we fall haha). In short, almost none of us was in his 100% normal state of mind. Hahaha! I wasn’t ‘that’ drunk, but close. :P

Despite our not so good feeling, we hopped into a boat for the beach. That’s around 7am, I guess.

Dipped in the water for a little while and then we just felt extreme tiredness thus, the urgent need to get back to the mainland. HAHAHA :)) We didn’t even stay there ‘til lunch time.

We were back on the road bound for home a little after lunch time. Originally, we planned to drop by Tagaytay and do some sight-seeing (OR WHATEVER!!!) but when the driver woke us up when we were there, nobody dare move a muscle to get his/her ass off the van. HAHAHA

And oh, it was raining the entire way home. Glad it didn’t rain while we were on the beach! Weird weather.. when I though it was summer already! Where art thou Mr. Sun?

Was at Shell Balagtas in NLEX (just a few kilometers away from home) around 5 or 5:30 for a short early dinner stop over. I reached home no later than 7pm. Too early. Proof for that: My mum and dad were like “Ba’t nandito ka na? Ang aga mo ha.” the moment I stepped in our house. HAHAHA :) K.

ALL IN ALL, IT’S A FUN SUMMER STARTER!!!!!! <3 I just wish we were complete :’(

Obviously, I never finished my Hell-Week-Diary-or-whatever-it-is-you-wanna-call-it thingy and that...

Thu, 29 Mar 2012 23:24:58 +0800

Obviously, I never finished my Hell-Week-Diary-or-whatever-it-is-you-wanna-call-it thingy and that is because it just gets more stressful everyday that all I ever do when I get home is either a) do whatever it is that I need to do for school or b) cry my heart out about the what ifs and about other dramas HAHAHAHA

But I’m glad I survived and I finished everything. And as far as I am concerned, I *fingers crossed* didn’t fail any subject! *dances* Not sure though if I have a grade lower than 2.50 (I hope I don’t have a grade lower than that!!!) but at least I’m on the safe zone and Clinic 1’s ready for me come June. ;-)

How’s my Prostho 3 (aka Hannah’s greatest problem), you may ask? I’m happy to say it was finally settled. Took me way too much time, effort and tears before I finally nailed it. Actually, I did my patient’s complete denture 4 times — that’s FOUR FREAKIN’ TIMES!! — because there was always something wrong with it. Heaven knows what!! I wasn’t late in doing the requirements and appointing my patient, and almost all of my spare time at school was dedicated to this subject. I did everything I could. My classmates could stand witness to that. Besides, I know I’m NOT stupid, and well, I may not be the best (not even close) when it comes to hand works but I know I don’t suck either. Let’s say I’m average. So what happened to me was either a) a terrible twist of fate or b) punishment for being too confident and optimistic (hahaha) or c) plain bad luck that I am my professor’s -quote ~apple of the eye~ unquote- or d) karma for something I did awfully wrong in that same subject the previous term or e) I’m just too stupid I never get the feakin thing right. I think all of the above are acceptable.. except for a huge bit of E. A little of that, maybe. HAHAHA :))

Just imagine my joy when my professor finally approved the denture. I literally shed tears of joy. Can’t help it!! Really thankful to friends who helped me :) Soo glad I’m done with Hell Week!! It was the worst I’ve had in my entire schooling life.

I’m aware my problem is diminutive compared to what the others have, but let’s face it, we have different priorities, different outlook. If you can afford to have a No Final Requirement or No Final Exam on your transcript, I’m sorry, but I can’t. If it’s okay for you to fail, it totally isn’t with me. You also don’t know what I really am going through, how things are at my school, and how hard it is to work with the people around me. And besides, this is my freakin’ blog, so I talk about my life, hence my problems. Got that? So don’t go “Hannah’s you’re so OA” to me! K??? :P

Now I’m just waiting for my grades. I hope it’s all good!!!

Hell Week: Day 2

Tue, 20 Mar 2012 23:27:49 +0800

☐ Prostho 3 Lab (CD): Complete Denture - Patient (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I’m afraid I won’t get to finish it since we only have 2 meetings left and I still have lots of steps to do :( (Needless to say, we still have final exams to take). Thinking about it just brings me to tears every time :’( Actually, this is my 2nd repeat (aka my third time to work on my patient’s denture) because for some reason, there is ALWAYS something WRONG with whatever it is that I do. WHYYYY???!!!!!! It sucks. I’ve been at this for how many weeks now!!

Ugh!! Didn’t like this day!!! TOO MUCH STRESSSSSSSSSSS :(

Before anything else, here’s the list of things yet to be completed this one last week at school before I finally pass (*fingers crossed*) 2nd year of Proper Dentistry.

☐ Prostho 2 Lab (RPD) Activity: Snap Impression

☐ Oral Pathology Lec Final Exam

*Note Prostho 3 aka CD is my life’s current GREATEST PROBLEM. Just so you know!

Fortunately, we’ve finished our Finals Exams with one professor, Dr. Romero last week.. sooo… 3 less problems for this week already!!

☑ Roentgenology Lec Final Exam

☑ Roentgenology Lab Final Exam

☑ Anesthesiology Lec Final Exam

Owwwhhkkaayyy. I’m not gonna elaborate any further (and make this longer hihi), so Imma go list down what I’ve accomplished for today (and what I have not).

☑ ☐ Resto 2 Lab Final Exam: Class II Amalgam Patient

Did my first ever tooth restoration on a real patient earlier today. Took me almost 5 hours! But unfortunately, I still need to REfill the amalgam, since well.. I made a mistake and it was under filled so I still have to repair it and get back on it by Thursday, hence, the un-ticked box. That’s fine with me, though. At least I’m on my way to getting it done. And besides, it’s definitely NOT easy doing my case!! It’s a Mesio-occluso-disto-lingual prepartion with cusp of carabelli!! More complicated that the most complicated!! Ha.

☒ Prostho 2 Lab (RPD) Activity: Snap Impression

Because I was sooo determined and driven to finish my Class II patient, I was absent for my RPD Class.. so that’s minus minus minus points.. but it’s okay!! At least I’m ALMOST through with Resto! Resto all day!! Haha!

That’s it for Hell Week’s First Day!! Hope everything goes on smoothly this week. And please do help me pray I’d get to finish what I’ve yet to finish for my Complete Denture patient. I’m on the verge of either a) losing my scholarship for getting a grade below 2.50 or b) failing the subject and —go back to a.

I know I haven’t blogged since forever, but expect the return of Hannah and the (mostly nonsense, pointless, and not to mention egoistic haha) whatsits of her life as soon this semester is OVER.. that is if I wouldn’t have any failing subjects or incomplete requirements or any form or school-related-trouble whatsoever.

You have no idea how difficult school life is for me right now. It’s the hardest semester EVER. as in eveeerrrr! It’s physically, mentally, EMOTIONALLY, financially (!!), socially, almost everything-ally draining, as in all at the same freakin’ time. Had I not been gifted with super-girl powers, I’d probably have given up already. Heeee~ :P Lol, that was an overstatement, okayyyyy.

Dentistry is hard. And I (sometimes) hate myself for being sooo Hannah that makes the hard even harder. Well, for one, I’m naturally lazy and in case you have already forgotten, I am the Procrastination Queen, ie, I don’t ‘usually’ work on things ahead of time. But aside from myself (which I guess contributes around 19% on the total hardness), there are also several other factors which contributes to this tough world that is DENTISTRY. I ain’t gonna talk about the ‘other factors’ though. Because simply the thought of talking about it is already grueling my feelings so I’d rather not.

AHH Well. To sum up all this Hannah-Kaartehan, I HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS EXCITED FOR A BREAK FROM SCHOOL IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!
