WHY grad school is stressful


why is grad school stressful?

because...

it's a choice made by entirely YOU to go back to school so there is more pressure to succeed (giving up is such a cop out! sayang diba?)

AND

you have to balance it on top of everything else...family, friends, work (in no particular order)

sigh. feeling more like a worker bee each day.

Kikay Christmas Wish List


Hi, Im T___, and I'm a kikay closet queen.

Those who know me can attest to the fact that Im not a girly girl type of gal, more sporty than most and not really into clothes or accessories or bags and shoes. But if there is one thing I have a fascination for, its make up.

So here's a wish list of kikay things I wish for this Christmas (in no particular order)
- Shu Uemura eye lash curler

- MAC fluidline gel liner (sweet sage, lithograph, ostentatious) WITH MAC 212 flat definerbrush

- a nice round mirror around 7 or 8 inches wide, with a 5x magnifier on one side and normal on the other, with illumination around it (basta it looks like the one in the hotel bathrooms)

- Benefit Benetint lip and cheek stain (philosophy or body shop will do)

5. You get to play make believe (why let kids have all the fun right?)
4. You get to wear really cool looking gear (ala GI JANE or GI JOE haha)

2. You get to practice working as a team (something we all need practice in)
1. You get to play with friends !!

Milenyo, September 27, 2006

The past 4 days have been very eventful as the typhoon Milenyo hit the country last Thursday. This is the first time ever in my 27 years have I ever experienced the brunt of a storm this strong.

Let the following pictures show you what happened...

witness to a crime

every saturday, i usually just go to a friends house, or maybe go watch a movie, you know, just chill out and stuff. and usually, i also end up going home late, around 12 mn or so. at this time, all stoplights are usually off and go blinkety-blink. so given there are no stoplights, i take my time going home, look both ways when crossing intersections... you know - more careful than usual.

as i was at the corner of paseo and makati ave, a speeding CRV comes out of nowhere and WHAM hits a guy riding a motorcycle! it was so surreal. i couldn't believe it was happening - parang sine. he got pinned under the CRV, with his bike on him and the car just kept on going for a few meters or so until he swerved a bit and got the bike off his car and sped away.

my first instinct was to run after the CRV and get the license plate but when i saw the guy lying down on the street, i just had to stop. some guards from the nearby building saw it happen as well so i quickly parked the car and shouted at the guards asking "nakuha niyo yung plate number?? dadalhin ko siya sa ospital!"

i called D to come and help me since he lives so near and we brought the guy to the nearby ospital ng makati. they guy had nasty gashes on his arms and face, as well as a big cut on his chin. i hope he doesnt have any broken bones or anything.

anyway, im just so angry at what happened and a bit inis at myself for not going with my gut and running after the CRV. i mean, that was the best chance of giving justice to this poor guy on the motorcycle diba?? arrrrggghhhhhhhhh..but thats what i think...

what would you have done if you were me?

! REACH FOR THE STARS !

I started this blog months ago to write about things I like, and in no particular order, my top 4 are food, travel, people, and sports.

My entries can be a mix and match of all four, so hope you do enjoy!
