Ate Janice Farewell/Baby Shower

February 20 was the day we surprised our 3B Geriatric unit Nurse Manager, Ate Janice. WE gave her a party bash- A farewell and a baby shower all combined.

Ate Janice, the celebrant

Ate Janice knew that we are going to give her a party but she did not expect us to give here a big party. It’s like the whole building was there to celebrate thank and congratulate her. Ate Janice was a great Nurse Manager, she is also a big sister figure to me. She understands my in related to my crazy schedule. I was inspired with her dedication to grew the 3B unite into a good and healthy relationship between employees and patients. She accommodates everyone even with the bump on her belly. She still work hard in making the unit in a better shape. I will really miss Ate Janice. Dessuie said: ” You baby belongs to 3B, she is the baby of our unit”.

Congratulations Sister

My sister next to me Dale has graduated from her Associates Degree in Graphic Art Design in Wood Tobe-Coburn School. The commencement was held in The New York Society for Ethical Culture @ 3 o’clock pm. The place was cozy and small but guess the important thing in that day was the ceremony graduates.

Nancy and Dale

Nancy and Dale

Everyone that I know that goes in WTCS school was dress up nicely and it was my first time seeing this “childish professionals” in a nice outfits. Nancy was dressed up with cute pink halter floral dress, Norma’s was dressing up with a black vintage kind of cocktail dress, and Moshie and Luise was dressing up neat and manly. There are also others that dress up like they have a ball to go. I mean they have this dress sweeping on the floor. It’s kind of too much because it does not look good with a toga on it.  But, it’s their day, what can we do.

At the graduation even though I was shy, I still manage to get over with it because if I’m not gonna step up and go at the front to take picture of my sister, she wont have any remembrance at all. I faced my fear and started acting as a grown up. I was my sister’s photographer. I was the only one there because our parents had not arrived, yet.

Whenever my sister walked on the stage I immediately go at the front and took her pictures. My sister received a gold medal for being the 1st honor student from her major. She gained the highest GPA among her classmates. 3.94 GPA.

After the ceremony, a young girl approached me and said “your dale’s sister, right?” I didn’t know that was Fatima. Fatima was Dale’s and Nancy’s co-worker in the Statue of Liberty, in the Liberty Island. We all now had our picture taken and I was now at the picture because both camera that I before had was now with my Dad and my step MOM. They are the one’s who was taking the picture at the end of the ceremony.

The day will not be completed unless there is dinner feast. So, we went to Red Lobster in Times Square.  We ordered this Lobster meal, and it was so delicious. Myself, and Dale’s had the same kind of dish. We also had this fried calamari for appetizer and New England Clam Chowder Soup, my favorites. Even the dinner was so expensive my dad still allowed us to order anything that we want to eat. As I recall, I think the bill was running to $300, and there were only 4 people that ate.

It was an amazing experience. Every hate was stepped aside and everyone was just having a good time. As if nothing had happen from the previous days.

A week before the graduation, I and my sister went to SOHO in Manhattan to buy a graduation dress for her. Well, of course, it’s her graduation and it is a big deal for me to give my spoiled sister a graduation gift. I pay her dress. We came in this Asian type of boutique, plus the sale, I saw this cute dark purple kind of cocktail dress. It was just $7.00. I mean.. hello.. seven bucks, how cheap was it that it dropped from the store price to this sale price. This little amout to this expensive Asian boutique merchandize? My sister liked the dress, and I matched it with a silver belt to make it more attractive. voualla! master piece!

Ventilation: Wasted Youth Life

Yeah it is really wasted. Wasted opportunity to go and enjoy life as an adult. Seriously, i am so pissed about  having nothing else to do in my life aside from school, work, and staying home. It is really boring doing stuff over and over again. I want to have a healthy life.  I mean I want to have a healthy living and that includes mental, emotion and especially social life.

I know that my dad is being protective on me and my sister, but it’s just too much. I feel like I was being caught in social deprivation. I always want to go somewhere with my friends, to hangout with them, have fun being young, but i can’t because dad always opposed on it. I am not a wild daughter, not even a bit. I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, and especially I don’t have any interest in hooking up with some guys nor with girls. I even go home before curfew. I always have clean fun, I don’t mess up, and most especially I choose my friends. I be friend with people that are not BI, bad influence. I got a lot of friends but because i can’t go out, I am now isolated from them.

Sometimes I’m so jealous of kids the same of my age that goes out and had good time in their youthful years. If you were to ask me what was the happiest times I had with friends, I’ll simple answer you, when i was in the Philippines. My mom is strict too, but not the same as this- having no interaction with piers the same as my age, or piers that I could call my own friends. I am already grown up. I know what’s wrong and whats right. I know that i am still young to take responsibility of myself but how would i learn if I am being deprived of learning and experiencing something in the real world. How would i grow? How would I merge to a new me? How would I become an adult if i just jump into an adult without experiencing my teen years.

Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen are the years that I suppose to have more fun. Those are the years that I suppose to have a learn from your mistakes” but with fun. The way you enjoy knowing something you like even though it could be wrong. Frankly speaking, I always cry myself to sleep thinking of the sad days that passes by. America is a good place but there is no happiness for me here because i can’t get it. When friends invites me to go out to have dinner, bowling, going to the beach, or watch a movie, I instantly always turn them down because I already know that my dad will not let me go. So instead, I stayed home, chillin’ by myself. Alone with the computer. Making network of friends in the internet. Making connections in the internet but it’s still not enough. I always feel like there is still lacking something. Something that has face, eyes, nose, mouth, hands, that one that walks, the one that you could giggle with.

Last month, I was thinking of going for a trip far away before next year May. I wanna go for snowboarding or skiing. Since I heard from my sister that her friend and her friends family are going for a snowboarding trip, it gave me a though if we could go with them. Of course I’ll pay for mine and my sisters expenses. I want to go with them because there will be people same as our age. So we will definitely  have fun. However my dad, opposed on it again because he was thinking that it’s my sisters wish to go with her friend, and she was only using me as a front man. But i am not a front man, I am the one who wishes to go somewhere else. I want to have a happy memory being young. I’ll be 22 next year and time will just fly by like a flick of a finger. I don’t want to waste any of my years. I don’t want to end up innocent of something simple or something fun. I don’t even want to be like my uncle who just pass away so young and it was so sudden. I don’t want to end up like neither of the two. It’s only a simple wish, happiness , happy memory, and i can’t still get it.

Season of Greetings

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday.

BABY BECCA

Here is my adorable niece, Rebecca Hayden. She is enjoying here 1st Christmas. She is our precious blessing our family have this year.  Her mom, my cousin, sent me this cute picture of her’s.

She looks like she is saying “Auntie, auntie, regalo ko? (where’s my gift?)” Just look at the hands, her hand gestures. LOL Becca. I’m guessing she is 5 months old already. She grew big so fast. And surely she looks like here mom.

Ahhhh.. Becca, the first grandchild of the family..

“Becca, auntie can’t wait to see and carry you..

Commemorative for Uncle “coach” Jundy

Give LG a SHOUT!

The title tells it all. Give LG (me) a shout.

I had been puzzling of how to put this shoutbox in my blog visibly, and it already took me a year or so in figuring this out. I am tired of cracking my coconut shell thinking of what other html code i could alternate with JavaScript. Now, I had enough figuring this shoutbox. I think there is no other way in making this one seen in my worpress page aside from linking it. So, give me a shout. The link for that page is at the top of this page beside the “ABOUT THE AUTHOR”. If you really can’t see it, which i think its impossible, here is the link. Give LG a SHOUT. If you are just too lazy, here is the link to the SHOUTBOX.

I used to have this shoutbox since 2006, i guess, and it was posted in my personal website. I mean “personal” because everything was made my by me- the web layout, the background designs, everything, from scratch to finish. However, I just don’t know what happent to my incredible mind, i just want to torn the site down. My web site still exist, my domain still exist but the layout, the links, the backround are no longer to be found. I’m thinking about building it up again. ladyjan.us.ms, you’ll see it as a disaster.

If wordpress will allow me to make my own layout, i will do it. But i don’t want to add another payment for customizing my css, coz i am already paying for my domain. If you’ll ask me where i learned this stuff, it’s from hacking web sites, and also with the help of my computer genius dad and his books too. :P (thank you)

State Your Name

I was an NOVA (Negros Occidental Volleyball Association) athlete, since i was 10 years old. Back in my childhood years, as an athlete, we were always taking our oath in the opening of the volleyball competition.  A representative from our team or from the senior team has to read the oath taking speech, and we had to follow after his words.

I, state your name, will play sportsmanship…… blah blah blah…..

… but i always went

“I, STICKER NAME, will play sportsmanship…… blah blah blah…….

who would know that it was “state you name” not “sticker name” i was only a little kid back then.

now, it’s you turn to state you name.. take note, STATE YOUR NAME, not sticker name..don’t be dumb as me like i used to be. :)

“I, state you name, who happen to pass by this blog. I… blah blah blah…” then you could put whatever you  wanna say in your second or in your third sentence, or your paragraph. it should be a first person type of speech and it should describes you. It doesn’t really need to state you full name, alias, is fine. just address it to yourself. Make your mark people..

Pinoy Celebrety in manhattan

I went to fetch my sister at here graphic school in Manhattan and while we were walking, crossing the street, I saw a familiar face. It looks like Raymond Gutierrez but i was like there is no way that i will see him here. So i told my sister that i saw a Chinese looking guy who happen to look like the Gutierrez twins. And my sister bent backward and she gave me this shocking expression.

“it’s Ann Curtis”. That’s all she said. Back in high school her classmates always compared her to Ann. so she was like, “that how i resemble to her?”..

me and my sister were keep on staring on them, we wanna go help and talk to them because they seemed to be lost. They were asking for direction to the bus tour flayer guy however, hesitation still remains because they are celebrities.

We continued walking, two more blocks, and making glimpse at them until we saw some Filipino guy came up and took picture of them. we stared at each other and we both pace up towards them.

Dale (sister): are you Ann Curtis and Raymond?

Ann & Raymond: Yeah.

Dale: can we take picture with you guys?

Ann & Raymond: sure

and so we took a picture with them. Read the rest of this entry »
