One shot for my pain, one drag for my sorrow

Time to get this thing updated. I'm truly sorry I don't update my blog as much. As I blogged before, I got myself a journal, which is where I channel all my thoughts these days. It really feels good to have a journal - it allows you to be more introspective, somehow since you don't get to limit yourself of what you want to express knowing that there's no one that may take it the wrong way. I can just curse and blatantly expound on things I normally wouldn't in my blog. Anyway.. Here's what's been going on.
I freaking finished with Microbiology (Bacteriology, Virology, Parasitology, Mycology - all in one sem) and Pediatric MedSurg!!! Dear goodness, I have no idea how I made it alive. That sem was seriously very energy-draining. I even had to stay up all night and basically just go to school and take pre-fi and finals with no sleep AT ALL. That's how demanding Microbiology was, and thank goodness, it paid off. I know it will just get harder, third year and everything. But I'm trying to take things one at a time, and I am happy to be able to get pass that obstacle, for now. Phew.
And then, remember this
blog? So after around four months, I finally had the courage to reveal to my father the loss of Lil Bitch Jr, which he took very lightly - better than I expected. The next day, he arrived home WITH LIL BITCH JR! Apparently, all the while that I have been stressing and worrying over LilB, she has just been hiding under my car seat. And all it took was admitting to my father that it was lost, to finally be able to find her. So yessss, I am very ecstatic that I have all my music back! :> :> :> It makes me jog more effectively, now :B
And then, a couple of days ago, Bruno Mars went here in Cebu to play a concert. I went in a fan of his songs and went out a fan of the artist. He was just, AMAZING =) I never thought I would enjoy his concert that much! I am not familiar with many of his songs, just a few that are obviously playing non-stop on the radios and some that my friends like and introduced to me - and despite that (and the hunger from all the impatient waiting and wtf front act), I ended up sincerely enjoy ing every minute of his concert. The man got moves. lol. And the crowd really just went alive when his set started. I would definitely but tickets to the next Bruno Mars concert in Cebu. Such an awesome singer, live! And to quote The Lazy Song, "Oh my God, this is great".
Yesterday, we got news that our classmate and friend got into a pretty serious motor vehicular accident. At first, I was in denial with the severity of the situation. I didn't want to believe the news that we were receiving when we were in the middle of classes. It wasn't until some of our classmates really went to the hospital to see him told us the actuality of the grimness of his condition, that it really sank in. When it did, I was in Ayala and I was very disoriented to the extent that I spent a long time trying to find the exit and landing on the same wrong place over and over again. I just couldn't believe that the other day, he was still his usual noisy self, joking around with everyone in speech class, and then this. :-\ It's really scary and painful to have this happen to someone you really know. It's times like this when you start to realize that life can really bring you unexpected things and that maybe it's time to start living instead of just plainly existing.
Our prayers are with you, Jansen. We are all hoping for your speedy recovery. We know you can get through this, after all, you are the founder of Matirang Matibay. If there's a good time to show your matibay-ness, it's now. Hang in there.
Please do pray for him and his family. They really need it right now.
Row row row your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily merrily, life is but a dream.
