5:35 am	fatigue r/t stress 5:00am woke up, ate my breakfast, took a bath, and got dressed in my community uniform... my "getting-kinda-fitted-community-uniform." --- that means im getting fatter and fatter everyday. lol! but i need to lose weight... 6:00am went to school with my mom. ( i always join my mom whenever she's going to her office... at the very controversial government office - GSIS). arrived at 7am. too early. had nothing to do but to sit down and watch every FEU student and faculty walk in front of me. 7:30, one of my group mates arrived. he looked so dirty that i don't want to go near him. he always looks untidy. i don't know why. sorry if he reads this but he knows it. don't want to mention names. hehe. well, to describe him, he was wearing our school uniform (a white polo and a green pants) with no patch, no undershirt. He sports an untidy haircut. long hair with no gel in it with his long side burns ("patilya")... about... hmmm... 2 inches long (lol!!!)... which does NOT fit his face... but i can't do anything. he likes it that way. and one more thing!!! he wears a black fisherman's cap, which really does NOT suit him... that also includes his personality!!! i don't know... but, it does not look good on him. who cares! it's his fashion statement! lol! 8:00am some of my group mates arrived at BK (our meeting place). our group was complete when it was about 830am... rode a Divisoria jeepney going to tutuban... and went to the community to find 1-3 months old infants with the help of judie's grandpa (the barangay captain of that community) and tita fely (the captain's secretary). 9:00am walking... looking for infants... 10:00am walking... looking for infants... where are the female infants!?!?!? why are they all male!?!?! 11:00am still walking... still looking for FEMALE infants!!! 11:30am we decided to eat our lunch since we're all exhausted walking. i had to stay at the brgy. captain's office because it is airconditioned. only 4 of us fit in there. and we're lucky! 12:00pm finished eating. 3 members went to bambang to buy an infant weighing scale! geee!!! it costs P950! but.. i think that's already cheap for a weighing scale. also, 2 of us (including i)went to tutuban to have our letter to the parents photocopied. it costs 1.50 per short bond paper! expensive... 1:30pm we walked around the community again to weigh the babies and to draw a spot map (that was my job)... it was kinda exhausting again... but at least we finished our job... but still, we lack female infants. 3:40pm we finished walking and decided to go to school to see who'll be out of the institute of nursing. i'm kinda scared because i was once called in v. luna hospital due to my haircut. it wasn't my fault! it was short enough for everybody!!! except for v.luna!!! so... my name was recorded there, my clinical instructor... and my school!!! what a shame... i hope my name will not be listed tomorrow... 5:00pm went to web bliss to meet my gf. we went to colorpoint to get her graduation pictures. awww... she's so beautiful... 6:00pm my mom went to school to fetch me. angel stayed there coz she'll join her niece going home. by the way... it'll be 1 week since she she became my gf. hehe... 7:00pm arrived home.. exhausted.... need to rest. 9:20pm on my celfone im about to finish this entry and i'll be writing about infant massage that'll serve as a brochure for the parents.
