CONDOLENCE TO FAMILIA ABLAN for the death of LOLA MINING.  She was a very gracious lady, welcoming and caring.  Let us pray for the eternal repose of her soul.

• my relatives and i visited our departed relatives already sa memorial park last weekend to avoid traffic and the crowds.  marami rin had the same idea.  thank goodness ok ang weather. 
• kris left for the USA early this week.  sobrang ka-miss na. haha, wala pang one week ha!
• TAGUMPAY ANG ORDINARYONG MAMAMAYAN! I GOT ACCEPTED NA in one of the institutions i applied at!  Yahoooooo, thank you God! sobrang happy and proud kasi wala akong personal na kakilala duon —  but marami raw naging interns ng AHRC duon so may mga common friends kami ng mga people duon (ang liit ng mundo).  i will start on the 2nd of november na.
• my wrist surgery was slated last wednesday.  i commuted to the house of my aunt and lola, who were to accompany me to st. luke’s.  grabe, ibang-iba na talaga ang four-years-college-days-commute-route ko (manila to QC)!  ang laking convenience talaga ng MRT, renovated Farmer’s Plaza, Gateway Mall, and MRT2 (purple line).  dati, i inhale pure carbon monoxide sa aurora bldv.  now, cool oxygen from aircon and carbon dioxide from other passengers na lang! naks! haha.  tapos dati, ang dark and yucky grabe ng mga ’sidewalks’ na linalakaran ko.  now, through malls and walkways na!  pero, just the same, nakaka-praning pa rin with regard to my belongings.  i guess dagdag pa na ang tagal ko nang hindi binaybay ang commute route ko kaya sobrang takot ako sa snatchers, etc. 
• yes, natapos na rin ang wrist surgery.  big relief! aside from ‘kirot’ pains sometimes and the bandage, my left hand feels normal again (at nakaka-type na ako dito sa blog na ‘to).  pero the whole procedure was tiring — tiring kasi my heart was beating as if i was in a race.  hahaha, super crybaby talaga sa ako sa pain!  to think, the cut was just small.  i swear, ang baba ng endurance ko for physical pain.  i can watch surgeries/other medical procedures (done to my dad) and not be grossed out; but any medical matter done unto me, iyak talaga ako.  goodness, when i had my blood tested back in mid-college, i had the medical people call my dad pa inside the blood extracting room and held on to his hand the whole process.  last year’s surgery, kamay ni lola ang napiligro ko.  last wednesday, kamay ni tita grace ang na-restrict ng grip ko ang blood flow!  dyoshkopo! hahaha.
• oh yeah, still allergic to micropore bandage tape. sooo itchy.  pero tiis ‘coz how else will the bandage stay in place?
• ang funny naman yesterday, i got a call from ***** offering me a project work until the results of the bar come out.  i was referred to by a certain partner-lawyer from one of the firms i applied to for an underbar job position.  flattered for the offer and referral; but funny ‘coz the company was one of the establishments i always ‘fight’ for lapses in their service.  i did not further inquire what the job was all about; but graciously thanked the caller/company for considering me.
• Finally, na-’ayos’ na judicial cases ng cousin against that damned ex.  thank goodness kahit paano, may hustisya!
• FROM MY FRIEND, JM: http://www.greenpeace.org/seasia/en/
• spoke with a friend last night.  sobra akong pikon with what happened to him — unfair treatment, unjust ‘trial,’ impartial ‘judges,’ and violation of his rights! arg!
• ang sad, tita madre did not make it sa parking exam niya for a driver’s license botswana. she hit a cone daw while reversing.  what a cute sight siguro watching my 60-year old nun-aunt driving! haha. but then again, wala daw pumasa sa batch niyang examinees.  she was told, swerte na raw if you pass after two trials; karamihan 4-5 times kukunin ang test bago pumasa.  Money-making scheme daw kasi duon ang pag-kuha ng driver’s license.  add pa na stressful ang weather condition dun right now — summer at 40 degrees C!  gosh!
