• Mikey's 1st year Anniversary!!!

  A year ago, there was a stray puppy smelling the roses outside our house. My sister found the puppy in the morning on her way to school, and the puppy was surprisingly still there at night. It seemed like no one owns him so my sisters and my dad decided to let him in inside the backyard, since we're worried that he might get runover by cars in the middle of the night. We fed him (though he was a little aloof and picky) and he seemed at ease with my sisters. Back then, i was too scared to touch him because I didn't know if he was immunized against rabies or what. Back then, i didn't realize I could love a dog this much.

  He was so playful and heresponded when my sisters were calling him "Mikey". Just to let you guys know we used to have a dog in the Philippines named "Mikey" but we left him when we had to live here in the US. So it was surprising that the puppy responded when he was called that name, so from then on he was named Mikey.
  
  We waited for like a month for somebody to claim him, if maybe a neighbor owns him. Then we eventually went to the vet to get him checked if he has a microchip, but he didn't, meaning nobody really owns him. At that time we got him his immunizations and finally adopted him. We also found out from the vet that Mikey is a half-breed chihuahua and pomeranian. He also said that Mikey was 8 months old (human years) at that time. It was interesting how he could tell just by looking at Mikey's canines.
  
  
  
  
  love those puppy eyes

  Until now, it remains a mystery where Mikey came from. But he definitely showed up on the right door because he's well loved by everybody in this house. He's our little baby brother!
  
  Happy anniversary Mikey!!! Love!

  Nursing anti-stress kit
  
  I was cleaning up my school stuff the other day and found this "anti-stress kit" that the nursing program gave out in the orientation day. Now that I'm graduating, it just makes me smile reminiscing a little bit of my nursing life this past three years.
  
  
  The note reads:
  Anti-stress Kit
  
  Eraser - so you can erase your mistakes
  Marbles - so no one can say you've lost yours
  Pennies - so you won't be broke
  Rubber band - so you can stretch beyond your limit
  String - so you can tie it all together
  Kiss - so you will know you are loved!
  
  The anti-stress ways take more than a kit though, hehe...Nursing is still super stressful after all!
  
  Btw, I just took my last college final yesterday. Now I'm finally done with school forever and ever!!! (unless i decide to take my Masters someday, but that'll come later, hehe..)
  
  Just waiting for graduation to officially call myself a college graduate. 15 more days left baby!!!
  
  One more step to go until I call myself a full-pledge RN BSN!

  And here comes our last fundraising event for graduation...
  
  Please support!!! One last event guys!
  
  Let's party and celebrate!!!

  Good movies last weekend!
  
  Of course I saw "Made of Honor" and I absolutely loved it! I agree with some people saying that it's a cliche story and similar to "My bestfriend's Wedding" and given the romantic side of me it's a given that i'm gonna love it! The story and the ending was predictable though, and *spoiler** it must suck for the must-be-groom that the wedding didn't happen. His family must've been pissed off, if that happens in real life.
  
  
  Saw this movie too and I also liked it, knowing that i had no clue about what this movie was about before seeing it. I liked Robert Downey Jr's acting and I loved him in that 80's movie, "Chances are" way back. I think his superhero character is fresh and funny. Just a tip if you haven't seen it yet, stay til after the credits are over. There's an interesting scene supposedly, Mike and I actually missed that so yeah don't leave right away. I read that this movie already has a remake that's due on 2010 release date.
  
  Next movie to watch....

  I'm loving this song by Sara Bareilles. I officially added her to my most favorite singers list. She's got a smooth voice and her songs are catchy. I'll grab her album actually! Here's the mp3..
  
  Gravity
  (Sara Bareilles)
  Something always brings me back to you
  It never takes too long
  No matter what I say or do, I still feel you here 'till the moment I'm gone
  
  You hold me without touch.
  You keep me without chains.
  I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.
  
  Chorus
  Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity
  Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be
  But you're on to me and all over me
  
  You loved me 'cause I'm fragile
  When I thought that I was strong
  But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone...
  
  I live here on my knees as I
  Try to make you see that you're
  Everything I think I need here on the ground
  But you're neither friend nor foe though I
  Can't seem to let you go
  The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down
  You're keeping me down, yeah
  But you're onto me, onto me and all over
  
  Something always brings me back to you
  It never takes too long

  And i finally got to sing this song I've been wanting to record for the longest time, "Just because".
