My mother actually watched a couple of movies with me the past week or so. One of them's "Get Smart," which was a serviceable movie, funny and enjoyable. XD I liked "Hancock" better, because I love contrasts, and I'm a sucker for bitter, depressed characters in comedic situations. Hee hee. I want to go see WALL-E now.

Oh, yesterday, for some reason, I stumbled into the "Fushigi Yuugi:" wiki page, and found out that there was a 3rd OVA with 4 episodes. I looked for it in Veoh and watched it. Hehe. "Fushigi Yuugi: Eikoden," it's called. Miaka actually doesn't much screentime, and there's another girl, a new character involved. Which is probably why I didn't end up wanting to shoot myself what with all the MIAKA!!!--TAMAHOME!!! thing.
*gets pelted with rotten veggies*
Okay, okay. Geeze. I actually love "Fushigi Yuugi," okay? I wept buckets over it. I love its characters. Heck, I even like the Miaka-Tamahome/Taka thing. To a certain extent. Yeah.
There's not as much Hotohori and Nuriko screentime in the 3rd OVA either. Sadness. But yes they are adorable, even while they couldn't remember who they were.
And Boushin! And Houki. Hee.
I actually like the second OVA better than the anime series itself. Maybe it's because Miaka is a bit more mature in the OVAs. ^^;;

I finished a fanfic! Yay!

Oh. And the title sucks. But. Wah~
I'm also trying to write this short story. I always get the urge to write the night before or the day I'm working. Dammit. By the time I get the chance to write, I lose it. I lose it, says I! It's so annoying.

Speaking of which, I decided not to join some co-workers in their Six Flags trip.

Not to mention, I would be coming off a weekend then, a holiday weekend, at that.

1. My username is _____ because ____.
swollenfoot because it was derived from my nickname, Idi. I've been called Idipus at times, which calls to mind Oedipus Rex of the Greek tragedy by Sophocles (who killed his father and married his mother and had four kids then poked his eyes out when he found out, as prophesied, but that's not the point), supposedly meaning "swollen foot," alluding to the piercing of Oedipus's feet as an infant, when he was thrown away by his daddy-o for fear of the prophesy that said his son would kill him.
2. My name is _____ because ______.
Adrienne because. . . I dunno. O__o I assure you, I wasn't named after Rocky Balboa's wife. Promise!
3. My journal is titled ____ because ____.
"Utos ng Hari" because I liked a particular short story we read in high school (which was apparently set in our high school) by Jun Cruz Reyes.And I have delusions of grandeur, so it fits. It roughly translates to "The King's Decree." (er... yeah)
4. My subtitle is ____ because ____.
"idi's nonsensicalities and delusions of grandeur," because that's what basically makes my journal entries, hehe. The latter phrase I picked up from psychiatric health nursing, methinks, while learning about psychotic disorders. XD
5. My friends page is called ____ because ____.
"Ang Nasasakupan" because it roughly translates to "The Dominion." Mwahahahaha~
6. My default userpic is ____ because ____.

because I liked the character Eclair Tonerre from Ouran High Host Club anime. XD And also, her character sort of lives in her own world, where everything is hers to control, when in reality she has none. She likes to manipulate and scheme, but due to her affluence, she really doesn't live.

- Thursday -- flew to Orlando, had 4+ hr stopover at Atlanta
- Friday -- went to Magic Kingdom (again, squee), wrecked my ancient sneakers (it has sentimental value! T__T those were my sneakers from 1st yr High School. I mean, after surviving that long, it just started to disintegrate. Huuu~), forced to buy $37.50 Crocs with Micky Mouse-shaped holes, got rained on at Tom Sawyer's Island.
- Saturday -- watched Indiana Jones 4 XD and enjoyed, celebrated my mother's birthday with a mass (and tasty food courtesy of a visiting aunt. yum!), fell asleep early after pre-medicating self to be able to eat shrimp (nyahahaha).
- Sunday -- watched Prince Caspian again, this time with siblings (my brother has now forever defiled my little sister's image of Susan Pevensie), went to Downtown Disney, ate Cuban food, regretted not taking up offer of margarita earlier (because I am leary of alcohol on empty stomach).
- Monday -- lazed around (*__*), explored recently-mushroomed mall area and ended up spending money (hu hu hu), got nice new bedsheets for bargain price whee, laundry, wrote some Sunergos (speaking of which, I can't find my notes on the next scene, regarding Sakura's theories on the curse seal. *cries*)

I've been off for a couple of days now, but I don't think I did anything yesterday. O__o
. . . Oh, I remember now. I played and did my mother's laundry. And somewhere in between I had snatches of sleep. I think I also fangirled over shoujo manga updates. Uh... yeah.
So I did get to watch two movies today, as I promised myself. The original plan was "Forbidden Kingdom," but I didn't wake up early enough for that. I did get to see "Speed Racer," which was a colorful and fun watch. I immediately called my brother afterwards and told him indignantly that it wasn't bad. I liked and enjoyed it.
I also got to see "Prince Caspian." ^__^ I'm glad I decided to watch, anyway. I thought the lines were going to be awful, but it wasn't. The usual gaggles of tweener and teens weren't that bad either.
----
The couple of days ago, one of my fellow nurses gushed about one of the patients, who was some famous somebody, and was apparently very, very hot. I didn't get to see him. Darn it.
Later on, I overheard the doctors chatting about how good-looking men will always get the best care, since majority of the nursing staff are usually female. (They' docs talking are both female, too.)
I thought, isn't it the same elsewhere too? Good looking guys must get some form of special treatment in restaurants, too.
It just reminded me of Edward Cullen, is all. LOL.

I've been pissy lately. >__> Snapping at people and such. And impatient. (In my usual mousy way at work.)
I wonder if it's a sign of growing complacency. My co-worker suggested the pissiness was a herald of that time of the month.
Ah. It was a poop day today. Poop and puke day. (Which reminds me. I need to take a shower.)
I also wanted to profess my love for the 5/2 combo. (5 mg of Hadol and 2mg of Ativan IV push.) Whoever started it should win the Nobel Prize or some other fancy award. *nods* (It's a combination of meds used to sedate combative, agitated patients who are a danger to themselves and others. )
And geeze, some people can really just suck your life out. x__x I think this profession is just going to one day push me over the edge and turn my "tendencies" into actual disorders. Hmm?
I feel inefficient a lot. And dumb, occasionally.

Geh. I worked this weekend. Sunday was horrible. Monday was also horrible. (Possibly worse?) Yeah, Monday was just a while ago. =P just got home. (The gist is basically this: tons of patients ---> lots of admission ---> running out of hospital room ---> full E.R. ----> you get the idea. Oh yeah. The network went down @__@. So we had to break out the downtime forms. Which compounded the insanity further.) Saturday was horrible too, but that's because I was in Triage for four hours. T__T (Oversimplified, triage is sorting patients according to acuity and priority. Ideally.)
Ah. The memory is getting vaguer as time passes. I swear, nursing is like childbirth. There's some amnesic component to it. You forget the pain after a while. O__o (In my case. I forget the pain once I get home. Well, the psychological pain. XD My feet still hurt. Arms and back too sometimes.

The Holy Week. I don't think I did anything for the Holy Week. >__> I went to church on Easter with my mother, who had the day off. That was it. The nearby malls were all closed.
I had a few days off then. I did nothing productive whatsoever. But then I was "sociable" that Maundy Thursday. I had lunch with a fellow nurse and then tagged along with my roommate to wander from store to store and then to watch Spiderwick Chronicles. Yay. *ish proud*

The previous weekend before that, I was also working. I can't remember it anymore, but I it was kinda horrible too. I think the horror had something to do with psych patients. Can't remember.

My two siblings and I loved that soup (my little sister wasn't born yet at the time, and even after, she always gave me her share). It comes in those little sachets. You need to mix the powder first with cold water before boiling it. I remember a time when my brother's yaya (technically, ours, I guess) cooked some, tasted the soup and found it sour, then threw it away thinking it was spoiled. I've returned to that memory several times, realizing in retrospect she must have cooked the "Hot and Sour" one, each time mourning the waste of perfectly good soup.

In the words of my one and only love Victoria (Tis a pity she has no way of reading this), I'm sick like a dog. I have been for days.

The 1st exams turned out quite well actually. O__O I got an astounding 89 in Calculus I, which could have been higher, too. I just didn't know what to do with those infinities multiplied/divided etc (which I had just cleared up with
kristiann). Still, 8 points, mon dieu! And the Western Civilization one was. . . XD. *gloats in private*
I have to work at not losing the momentum.
@__@ I feel like the math is deadly right now though. I think my algebra is infinitely better now, than it was back in high school. Still, making stupid little mistakes in a very long simplification or whatever has always been my pitfall. PITFALL, I SAYS!

Oh yeah. Woke up to my mother telling me I'd need to walk to the hospital because my car is buried in snow.

My father's visiting, which means my mother wasn't doing overtime, and I had people to be with so I didn't end up sleeping away my weekend. ♥

Friday. I can't remember anything about Friday.
Oh yeah. Woke up to my mother telling me I'd need to walk to the hospital because my car is buried in snow. O__o It wasn't bad actually, because at that point, the snow was nice and powdery and wonderful to sort of wade/moonwalk through. (I'm kidding. I boast of no such dexterity.) The E.R. was understandably not so busy that day.
My father's visiting, which means my mother wasn't doing overtime, and I had people to be with so I didn't end up sleeping away my weekend. ♥
Saturday was window shopping briefly and then to a family friend's birthday party. The highlight: food, of course. Filipino food, yes. *__* And watching people have fun singing karaoke. Hehehe.
(^^;;; I don't really get to spend time with people my age. . . But at least there are more of them in my current workplace.)
Yesterday, we went took the train to Manhattan, walked around for a bit, attended mass at St Patrick's cathedral, and had lunch in Chinatown. Then we went home, because it was cold. ^^;;;

2. Presidents Day

Geeze.
And of course I get behavioral health. Hardy har.

- We are here:atop ugly squat tower
- We feel:
bored
Woke up, once again, to the quiet glare of the laptop screen on my face. As it happens once in a while, especially after a busy day, when I go home, I automatically open the computer to check email, check LJ, log on to Meebo, and somehow fall asleep, and wake up later with YM messages from usually
riisha , who has become used to this, and in this instance,
kristiann . Waah, sorry you guys.
And it was busy yesterday. @__@ I swear, 0900 is teh magic hour (for the day shift, anyway). It's usually when the ambulance patients starts coming (and in some cases, deluging from long-term facilities---is it some kind of conspiracy or merely the result of the morning rounds?) to the E.R. =__= Yesterday, we had three vented patients all at the same time, and I think six isolated patients. Which I think may not mean anything to poor flist, but it just means woe-is-me, as well as everybody else, was swamped. Eheheh. . .
What other news?
School is okay. Class discussions in Western Civilization I is torture x__x. Calc I is still intimidating but so far still doable. (Because it's a math subject, damn it, and opens up twilight-zone memories of Pisay days. Joke.) It snowed a bit last Tuesday so it took me a while to get home, but it wasn't really anything to complain about. Mami's brought back some sweets coming from relatives recently back from the Philippines. (I want more chicharon though.)
(I just remembered. I've totally forgotten about asking
cea_chan to please get teh yearbook for me. Yesh! Hurray for the success of the H.S. yearbook odyssey! And that I had intended to call a friend last night. T___T )
What else?
Ah, I got sick last week. I subsisted on crackers and water for three days or so. Probably some stomach bug I caught from some patient. Whee.
The flu's been going around lately.
. . . I can't think of anything else.
Ah, Sunergos 15 is encoded but feels a little too blah and inconsequential despite supposed developments in it. Sunergos 16 is halfway through and also feels blah and inconsequential. I think its simply Sunergos and writing that's feeling blah and inconsequential on a whole. O__o I'll let those sit for a while and continue churning 'em out anyway. (I've actually downloaded backlog chapters of Naruto and Bleach manga. Scores of them. But I haven't gotten down to reading yet. I usually end up reading Nodame Cantabile fics or re-watching the new year special or warping the mind of poor
mikochan_noda. Fu fu fu~)
Speaking of which, I have another (yes, inconsequential) Nodaki one-shot in the works though, another thing I had intended to work on last night. Oh well. It might not make it to the
31_days day it's intended for.
And with that, I return to dreaming. I have a few more hours before *hikbi* harsh reality. LOL. It's a long weekend. (Of work.) Hehe.

I remember, there was this particular patient, who've somehow gotten stuck in my memory. The said person interjected with, "Super," when affirming information and plan of care updates. (I dunno. It just made me ^___^;;;; a lot. )
Super Bowl last night. It the third and last of my three day stretch. I was tired and grumpy because the previous two days were also difficult for varying reasons. We thought it was going to be a quiet, relatively calmer day, as everyone would be glued to their televisions, and before that hopefully preparing for parties, etc.
Well. No such thing. But we didn't get many drunks or altercation cases. That's good, ne? (We had the slew of ETOH and ODs Friday.)
Of course, almost every patient room was tuned to the game. Even the score for the last how-many-seconds was announced in the overhead paging system by some enthusiastic fan. The mood was rather celebratory, actually.
(But that was later in the evening. The rest of my day was pretty busy and the late afternoon and early evening was. . . Grrr! Frustrating. I can feel horribly inadequate as a nurse at times, but yesterday I felt the inadequacies wasn't just from my side. Gah.)
---
School again. Last week. Both my teachers seem promising. I think I'll probably need to step up the ante this semester. @__@
Last week was mostly review for the math class. At the end of the class, the professor, who seemed to like addressing his students singly with his dead-pan, straight faced humor, said to me, "Don't worry. Next we'll be steering away from this more relaxed pace." (Something like that, anyway. I tend to misquote. ^^;; ) I smiled sheepishly.
It doesn't show in my serious, usually uncommunicative concentrating expression, but I was actually mentally freaking out the entire time. I've never done well with math. @__@ The reviewed stuff. . . They're so seven years ago. T__T Which means, not only do I not have room to slack off, I have to put in extra effort.
(Extra effort + me = spontaneous combustion. Not good.)
---
I can't really think of anything else right. I had a couple of notions I wanted to blog about yesterday. (While I was brooding at work.) I can't remember it right now. So. . . Next time, next time.
---
Writing update:
31_days drabbles here and there, Sunergos 15 is drafted but yet to be encoded, and mikochan_noda has gotten me curious about the book "Twilight." Maybe I'll pick up a copy at some point. Though I still have a few books at hand in my to-read list. Meh.
The submission deadline for the school's literary contest seems to be on March 1. Maybe I can think of something before then. Hmm. . .

This blog post's done, I think.
