Fever
Aches
Chills
Tiredness
Sudden symptoms

I think I have the flu! :(

Woke up at 3am,shaking from being Soo cold but my temp being so high :( what better timing..in class, the dayquil would wear off about every 3-4hrs..and I'd be shaking/chills. I've been sick before but never THIS sick :( I'd pick a runny nose and cough anyday.


currently at 103.1.. wish I had a boyfriend for times like these, haha. Anywyas, I'm back in nursing school!

PS. i think my skin is as hot as jacobs. :X

FOREVER 21?

not so much.

this weekend, i realized the hard way what my body can and cannot handle anymore. i never put much thought into the fact that were not THAT young anymore, it's kinda sad. gone are the days of consuming multiple bottle of crown royale; instead, it's all about the mental notes now baby!

speaking of, friday i broke several of these mental notes. to fill you in, last year me and jamie realized that we were having way too many drunken nights so we discovered that when you are sober and consciously think of rules you have preset for yourself prior to drinking, you will have a good night! so after many nights of analyzing our actions and how to fix them, we've been much better! HOWEVER, friday i broke a couple: 1)take a nap before you go out if youre tired, 2) dont go out hungry, 3)dont drink more than 2 long islands if you have been pre-drinking. because from past experience, you will get drunk! hahaa, and indeed i did.

i had spent the entire saturday (which was beautiful btw), sick in bed. i was healed by twilight (says dianne) so i was able to go out in the night. random bar hopping with christian and dianne, fun fun! and i woke up sunday feeling achy, fatigue, coughing--jus BAD. dinner at min sok chon was...cold. haha, and nice to hang out for a lil. the whole time i remember feeling cold and sicker, and wanting to curl up in a warm bed.

and here i am!! very aware that i cant keep taking my health for granted. this week was pretty UNhealthy--eating out, drinking, and spending money like a rockstar. ill probably do a healthy start once im feeling better. tomorrow is back to work for my first day in icu training :( i feel like im going back to school again. ill let you guys know how that goes.

time to pop some nyquil & maybe watch twilight since apparently it heals, hahaa. crazy girls.

parting picture of my niece...again! the polka dot cutie pie :)

SORE

snowboarding. Tuesday, very spontaneously went boarding with my coworker, Jeff at Mountain High. Conditions: sunny & beautiful, but pretty icy! Icy= me falling forward on my knees and arms grip, as well as a lot of leg power to keep up. I woke up really sore!

indian foodtried it for my first time today with grace and Philbert. It was yummy..but shortly therafter, we found ourselves at the new jollibee/chowking with full on meals like we didn't just eat at a buffet. All the while, our conversation has been about weight loss, hahaa. oink. Oink.

future plans hiking mañana with Philbert in the morning if u wanna! Vegas roadtrip? Just party in Sd? Buy a house?? hahaa.



I love this--not having a job. I looove it.

TWILIGHT:D

"Twilight DVD Release Weekend" as Dianne called it, turned out to be pretty fun:)

friday. My co-workers threw a baby shower/farewell party for me and a couple other of my coworkers. We are not the only ones who drink at baby showers! Turned into a crazy little party, a good way to part from them :( My last day on the unit was a disaster-- they actually floated me to another unit where I was soo busy that I felt no sense of sadness as I put my stethescope and everything out of my locker into a bag. I will definitely miss some of the patients though. We had a lot of "frequent fliers" who came back frequently for chemotherapy, and Ive become close to a lot of them..but I will mostly miss my young & crazy coworkers. No other group of nurses on one floor could probably ever compare to them.

saturday. The Spring Break/Twilight party was fun. We didn't get our dose of sunshine because we were stuck inside watching Twilight--which is AWESOME in Blu-Ray. I sooo want a Blu-ray player. It was fun watching with Dianne who knew fun facts about the movie! The food was YUM, the people were fun/funnnyy, and the movie was grreat! I had a good time. Afterwards, we headed to U31 for a lil action and ended the night from there.

sunday. The rain took away from our tourist sundays. Spent the morning watching the bonuse features and deleted scenes of Twilight. Then we went to Plaza, which for some reason was too crazy for me. Afterwards, we all headed to Ate Fe's where we cooked tacos......and WATCHED TWILIGHT!! hahaha. My family thinks I'm crazy, but I told them last night that Dianne is crazier..and there are other girls in this world who hyperventilate in line at blockbuster because theyre so excited for their copy. hahaa. The boys watching (&I noticed most guys are just haaters cuz they wish they were like Edward, haha) kept making comments during the movie like:

"Good thing Edwards a vampire, cuz he's really scrawny and small"

"Oh, I thinks he's a vampire, so let me go take him to the middle of the woods to ask him because thats safe"

"the force it would take him to jump from that tree to the other, would have blown her off of his back, haha"

Haha, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

& it is Monday morning. Absolutely NO PLANS on my days off, how did I let this happen?!

MTB4

was watching the episode right now. had some commentary:

1) Q is seriously annoying, gave me high BP at the way he acts.
2) what in the world are dawn & aundrea still doing on the show? they are jus like housekeepers now
3) all you see aundrea doing is eat eat eat eat eat.
4) Donny Klang, who?!
5) how come they don't have money again?!

ay ya yayy..this show has lost its magic. way too much drama than i think we should see.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPIC

Today, my older sister turned 28. And again, I have spent another exhausting, yet wonderful Sunday being a tourist in SD. Today, we had lunch at Onamis--and actually, lunch there sucks! No lobster or crab legs, my favorite! And a whole bunch of food that would taste delicious with rice, but I have given that up for Lent :(

Afterwards, we went to Point Loma and ended up at the Cabrillo National Monument. While I was there, I realized a) Why havent I been here before? & b) who the F*** is Cabrillo?! muahahaa. Horrible. I googled it while I was there cuz my sisters didnt know either :X Prettttyy views of SD, too lazy to upload the pics now though. I must say I am enjoying this tourist stuff though!

Here's a parting picture, cuz I like blogs with pictures. Less than a year ago seems so long ago:

do you guys remember this night? you would have found me in downtown all dressed up & unconscious :X never againn.....hahaha.

TACO TUESDAY

Yesterday, we headed to PB for taco Tuesday & myy has both the crowd and scene changed from the good old days! Is it me, or did that totally feel like we were at Decos?!

"didn't you know not to where slippers to the club?" -i quote the bigger, but prolly muuch younger than me "N" chick.

She's lucky she's ghetto!! hahaa, because first of all..when did this place become a club?!! & second of all, she was probably born in 1988--all excited to go to the club in her high ass silver heels and bling.. at PB?! I have a feeling that when it gets warmer tho,allthe good people will start to come back around..? maybe?

Haha, so that was my Tuesday night on top of bringing Inang into the ER for chest pain. Poor lil Inang is here on the telemetry floor for cardiac workup and monitoring. She's ok though. I'm at the hospital booorrred outta my mind,& I am itching to go shopping!

Anyways, I've got 5 days left of work on my unit. I always wanted this, & now that it's so close, I've realized that I am seriously going to miss that comfortable feeling of going to work competent and sure of what I'm doing. It's back to those days of nervousness & insecurity--err, I hate that. But before I worry about all that, I have a spring break too (march18-30--same as dianne), yay!

SD<3

I think since all of us have lived here our entiire lives, we take a lot of San Diego for granted. On Sunday, I got cancelled from work (omg, the ONE time I actually stay home and sleep early, grr) so we took out my Aunt & Uncle since they only have a couple weeks left in SD.

So, we went to La Jolla Cove and walked around! How come I felt like a tourist though?? I seriously havent done it before! I remember going to take yearbook pictures for letterettes, but other than that..nope! Anyways, it was a perfect day! Started out with brunch at a small, cute outdoor restaurant called WhiskNLadle. All nine of us had something similar to sandwich/burger & fries, but thee grand total was: 200 bucks! $200 for some cheeseburgers?!!!!! Haha, seriously--unfortunately, the tab was on me :( I knew I shoulda picked InNout!!!!

Then we decided to walk it off. We ended up at the cave at La Jolla. Neverrr knew of it! I was just as tourist-y as my aunt and uncle! hahah. Come this summer, I think we should kayak there...looks like fun.



Then we spent the rest of the afternoon chillin in the park.




Annnd, this is my niece. She has groown soo big and soo cute. I think she looks A LOT more mexican now. Shes adorable!!!



I hope someone can have a girl :) btw, where have my friends been??!!!!!
