so fall quarter is coming to an end. which means graduation is getting closer. yeah this whole education thing makes me bitter and pissed off at the whole world ha.

i know senior year is still important but i cant help it. ive never been so unfocused. ive been fuckin around ALL quarter. haha but this quarter has been good... a lot of fun. i dont really know what ive been doin to tell you the truth.. but i know ive been more active in katipunan. weve been having PCN acting auditions and the last one is this saturday. i cannnnnnnt wait to find out if i get a main role haha. ill definitely let you guys know once i find out...and if i dont tell you guys its probably because i didnt get it =[ for at least now, all i want to do for PCN is act and bahag.

haha ive only been running at the gym almost on a daily basis. i make sure i run a gooood mile... i have my time down to a consistent 7 minutes. i havent ran a 6 minute mile since high school ! ahah for pcn ill get it back

----
thanksgiving was cool, went to my tito ely's house in fullerton like we do every year. but that night, me reimond nelson and ike posted up for BLACK FRIDAY! haha we went to cabazon foo ..it was crazy. the exit to cabazon was backed up like a mile so we tried sneaking into the line and waved cash outside of our windows to bribe people to let us in front haha (no joke!) i didnt get any good deals but it was a good experience. never seen so many people shopping at once haha ...

and christmas is coming up. i have SO much to do for christmas. my katipunan family wants to have a really nice christmas dinner maybe 10th week, then were planning a "retreat" for all the new freshman in our family which will be 2-3 nights in cabin over break, and white kris kringle for katipunan is coming up next week and i got to get my family members gifts, then friends from ontario want to watch Wicked, plus our annual Christmas party with all my classmates from high school (i think were goin to mission inn for dinner), and then riverside friends are planning a big bear trip for 2 nights 3 days ( im so excited to see the fucken snow!!!!) and lastly im throwing a christmas party at myyy house with another group of friends from high school (nobody else could have it at their houses haha)

and i cant think of anything else thats happenin over christmas break but other than that i think i should be free ahha

well how about that. i made it through the entire summer without actually falling apart. ha, well im exaggerating but this summer has been SO eventful. so much has happened...from strengthening friendships to turning 21, i think it would be safe to say that this summer was easily one of the most memorable.

--i havent updated at all this summer really, so ill give you all a brief update. alright well i took the MCAT august 14th. i probably made one of the dumbest, biggest mistakes anyone taking the mcat could have possibly done the night before game day : i studied...like crazy. yeah, for all you out there who have taken a final or any other big test youre probably thinkin ..."wow ronald, didnt know you were that stupid." yeah it doesnt seem like that big of a deal , but i was so burnt and exhausted during the test that i seriously felt like sleeping during one of the sections. i didnt relax the night before and i definitely suffered the consequences. and if you guys know me, i hate making excuses so dont take this as one. that was without a doubt one of the dumbest things ive ever done and i realized it the morning i woke up. well, enough with the complaining... yea as you probably have guessed, i got served august 14th. maybe im exaggerating...i actually did kinda good, just not medical school quality. haha, maybe personally, im just not medical school quality? and no im not asking for sympathy! =] but this test shot down my morale more than anything else ever has. ive been told i appear like it didnt even phase me but the aftermath of the mcat actually has. i stepped into my Princeton class tellin myself that i was goin to fuck the mcat up more than any other test ive ever taken. i even told a few colleagues of mine, "how hard can this test be. i mean, we do well on every test. so no need to trip, right?" haha, talk about unjustified arrogance. so for all you out there wondering, im sorry if or when you ask me about this test that i seem a little off...its just that im trying to piece together all the confidence that was shattered during this august 14th massacre. and yes, i will be retaking. i dont know when, nor do i know why. but i will be retaking, with a lot more motivation and a lot less confidence.

--call it what you want, but if i increase my score by 4 more points, i will almost definitely get into UCR Thomas Haider BioMed (or so ive been told). that will bring my score a couple points above their average. With a few more months preparation, doing that is very realistic. With the key to medical school being ridiculously within reach, ive been second guessing the whole thing. thus, that brings me to...

--so another thing that ive realized this summer is exactly why i want to go medical school. thats the funny part, it doesnt even seem like a good enough reason to subject my life to 4 years of bull. but theres just something inside me thats always wanted to. i feel like physician-ship is the one profession that i can actually pursue my love of science and still learn about the bigger picture of life at the same time. its almost like the one career, in my eyes, that will allow me to learn about everyones lifestyles and see exactly how different people in this society can actually be. haha yea, i dont know if its the right way of thinking, but life has always interested me not necessarily because of what it has to offer, but at the diversity of the cultures and ways of life of the few billion of people that grace the earth. i love meeting new people and hearing about whatever they have to say. i try not to talk too much about myself because i feel that may take away from what i can learn from my friend on the other line. i do realize that becoming a "doctor" only has so much to do with helping people, so that incentive has never been enough to actually make me sit in a cubicle for over 4 hours. i also realize that the money is enticing, mos def, but its still not enough to put me over. what actually may be more appealing to me is the prestige, but even that isnt enough. and God, i dont know, i have all these reasons and i keep shooting them down but for some reason i still want to do this. i sacrifice my social life along with my overall well being and self-esteem to pursue a career i dont even necessarily WANT to do? whoever is out there watching over me, whether it be my conscious, guardian angel, or even a good friend, if in any way you think im making a mistake with my life , please let me know. i defintely do not want to be one of those medical students who tells every pre-med student to go into pharmacy or nursing because they wish they could go back. pursuing my "dream," or whatever that means, may be fulfilling and very rewarding, but not at the expense of my future family life.

-- but yeah, as of now, i still will be preparing for the next upcoming MCAT. yeah, strange, but i cant talk myself out of it. even though it may seem like i have strong reasons to not to go into medicine, i stubbornly ignore them. this is where my personality comes in. regardless of whether or not i can justify my actions, ive always been a firm believer in doing whatever i subconsciously feel is right. half the time its the wrong decision, but i just dont know. im stubborn, ignorant, discouraged and will, without good reason, pursue this career that can compromise whats left of my social life and my future family life.

-

sorry to everyone who expected a happy entry about my first time getting wasted on my 21st. and sorry to everyone who thinks im being over dramatic. if you think i am, im sorry. but honestly im not. unless youve experienced it, then you cant possibly know. i have the utmost respect for every physician...not because of the MD at the end of their name, or because of their outrageous salary, but because of the sacrifices they have made throughout their lives. Whether a student pursued medicine for the money, prestige, "helping people", following your dream, or whatever, the reason doesnt matter to me one bit. its the perseverance, discipline and sacrifices a student has given up to live the demanding life of a physician. to each and everyone of you who is going through the same route as i am, i tip my hat.

----------------------

haha i hope you all enjoyed this entry. congrats if you read all of it! i will be updating about the rest of summer some time soon. but i just have to post this picture since its so appropriate.

everyone said i kept sayin this all night ... so might as well at the end of this entry while surrounded by the girls i love most.. "fuck you mcat!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------

~~please come support us at St Elizabeth. This is our first real PCN in ontario at St. Elizabeth ...we've been working really hard and it would honestly mean a lot for any of you to come out and support us and our church. its on August 12 ,2006 at 6PM . call me for details... ~~

SUMMER IS HERE! and im done with my second year of college as an undergrad!

so much happened this year! this year seriously went by so fast. but i learned and did so much. i got closer to a lot more people and made so many new friends. this year was okay academically. my grades were better than last years... and even though i was so scared of taking organic chemistry, i actually ended up liking it and now its like my favorite class ever haha.

at ucr, i never really had a set group i hung out with. i mean course i had friends to always be with and all, but second year i guess i finally found a group thats always been there for me. and this brings about melissa! haha well as most of you know, me and melissa are together now =] we've always been good friends..since the beginning of our first year of college. and i guess we just got closer and figured out we liked each other... so now were happy =)

also became a lot more involved with my church, St. Elizabeth. we danced for our church during the break. we did cultural and modern... and now summer is here and im pretty much dedicating my life to our cultural show thats happening on August 12th! come support =) everyone at church, in my eyes, has gotten a lot closer ever since we started practicing and dancing together. that makes me happy

i guess this has been a pretty positive update. but to be honest, it seems like things are finally falling into its place. my relationship with my mom is strengthening, piano is going well for the most part, my family from St. Elizabeth has all gotten closer to each other, academically.. school went much better than expected and now i finally met someone in college =) i cant say how thankful i am...for everything. see you all around, peace!

i delivered a baby

2006-04-03T07:59:07Z

ive done so much this spring break. ive had a chance to pretty much see everyone... lets see

Thursday March 30, 2004
-------------
this was a really long day for me! i did so much ... ok ill start of with CCE. well im in Labor and Delivery right now and usually its pretty boring. but for some reason, this shift from 11-3 was really eventful. first i started off with seeing my first C-Section delivery! i got to wear the whole outfit that surgeons have to wear..like the scrubs and face mask and the cap and everythinggg. i felt so cool haha... so this woman delivered through a C-section and i got to watch from like 3 feet away! the nurse let me stand right there. i saw everything...i saw how they cut her open and then i saw all the layers. wow it was like a cake or something haha. i guess we have different colors inside of us? there was like yellow and white and of course red. haha so that was pretty interesting. i got to see the doctor then sew her back up and then staple her stomach back together...whoa! very interesting...

ok after that you know how last time i saw my first vaginal delivery? well this time ...i actually got to DELIVER the baby! i walked in thinking i was only going to watch like last time, but this time... the nurse was like, "okay can you hold her left leg up?" i was like sure haha... so yea .. i was right there and i helped count too haha and helped her with the whole breathing exercises. well the baby boy didnt come out very easily so the doctor had to use some suction cup and he had to do an Episiotomy. ok this is pretty much when the baby doesnt want to come out so the doctor cuts the vaginal area so it can come out easier. so after that ..you know of course he had to sew it back together. and yea i was standing right there and he needed someone to hold the vaginal area open so he could use both hands to sew it back together and guess who he asked?! yea...me! haha oh my goshhh. i know it sounds disgusting to all of you but seriously it wasnt that bad! really ... and the doctor pointed out some of the muscles that are around that area. so i learned something eh? haha it was a great experience..

--after i picked up melissa and we headed off to downtown disney. i LOVE disneyland...and everything about it haha. we walked around first and looked at all the stores. they have this huge lego store with so many things made out of legos. like this life size darth vador made of legos. haha outside they had a lego man sitting on a chair...and we took a picture with it. after walking around we decided to eat at rainforest cafe. we got exotic drinks ... that were supposed to have alcohol in them. haha...and the food was good also. soon after we headed home and that was that. thanks mel it was fun~

--then right after that, i headed over to brians house and ike manuel jake and brian were all just hanging out. it was so cool, the 5 of us got to hang out again. we got into this deep conversation about religion. theres soooo much information i didnt even know about. very interesting haha but kind of scary at the same time. like i want to read up about more of it but im afraid it might make me think too much. so yea maybe i wont haha..

that was a VERY long tuesday...but i had a lot of fun!
-----------------------------------

well the rest of spring break lets see

--me julliana and ike went to santa monica and ate korean bbq. yummm it was a lot of fun seeing you again julliana ! ill visit you in santa barbara ok haha and you can show me around and buy me lunch and dinner and everything else =)

--and i think it was wednesday night...i picked up karina from her house and we spent like 2 hours talking at starbucks. it was lot of fun! youre so cool to talk to karina ... and im glad we understand each other on anything we talk about~ next time when lent is over, we can go to COLD STONES haha.

alright everyone... spring break is overrr. ill see everyone in riverside! hope you all had a great vacation.

saturday March 25 2006 i went to a wedding in San Diego... my kuya ronnie got married finally! im so happy for him. the wedding was held at some cathedral and then the reception in some really nice place not too far. the food was really good and i got to see some of my cousins that i havent seen since thanksgiving.

on sunday, me ike brian jake and manuel went out to eat dinner at Cheesecake Factory in victoria gardens. i treated out jake for his birthday...happy 20th bro. it was pretty cool just eating dinner all together again. we all havent hung out for a while so it was refreshing. i ate before i went so i only ordered desert...gosh i ordered the Mud Pie and it was like a mountain of chocolate. i couldnt finish it ... haha but it was good.

well i hope i do a lot this spring break. dont want to waste it.. but tomorrow i have to go to the hospital... okay bye everyoneee

2006-02-24T09:11:15Z

sorry for not updating everyone...but schools getting really busy...again =( haha well i jus wanted to share one experience with all of you i had in the hospital.

i saw my first delivery! a woman gave birth to a baby boy. you know how like in TV, they always show a woman giving birth but everything is censored? well this time...haha no censors!! i saw everything oh my goshhhhh ! and for some reason i kind of thought the baby would of slowly came out. but like...it was like one second she was pregnant, then the next second that foo just popped out. i was like whoaaa hehe. i was like the 5th person the baby saw...i feel special haha.

and umm... in the nursery, like a one day old baby kept on crying so one of the nurses asked me to hold her. and then she stopped crying. goooo ron ahah.

okay vibe is coming up this sunday. its goin to dopeee cant wait. and ochem midterm wednesday and psych right after!

good luck to everyone on midterms peace

hi everyone

2006-01-30T09:19:58Z

whats uppp everybody

well lets see whats been goin on. we performed one last time at St George ...we did our modern and tinikling dance. it was a lot of fun and they had an actual stage. it sucks because maui and paui couldnt perform and nicole was in san francisco and mark had already left. so yea we only had 6 people. and were probably not goin to dance again for a while =( after the performance, they made me talk in front of everyone there ! embarrassing haha but it was cool. here are some pictures

being cool

us looking pretty.

if youre reading this mark, we miss you!
------------------------------------------

im almost done with Ronda Ala Turca by Bach! the song at the end gets me really frustrated ... and towards the end my forearms hurt haha. but i love the way it sounds and i cant wait to finish =)

---------------------------------------

probably only about 2 or 3 people total might know what im referring to. but something really disappointing had just happened to me about 5 days ago or so on Jan 26, 2006. i dont want to get too specific about what happened but yea all i can say is that im very disappointed. i just dont know anymore. i dont even know how to exactly describe how i feel about what happened right now. maybe i think too much. or maybe im just going crazy. i just wish that there were answers and that peoples actions would at least be a little bit reasonable. i try to have a positive outlook on society and i try to stay optimistic . . . but i guess theres times when i just cant. i want to know why do i believe in the things i do. why do i find it so hard to stray away from beliefs that only bring me unhappiness and deprive me of so much. do i care too much about things in life that nobody else does? should i to compromise my deepest beliefs for "happiness" or should i stay loyal to my roots and feel the same way i do now? i hope i find out soon... and for those who were there for me.. you'll know when i finally find the words to appropriately express my gratitude

i live not only for the people i love, but for the people i
admire. =)

Ily who goes to BYU now..came back married! haha we were all like whattt? we met her husband and everythin. congrats on that! but yea the whole night we played games, ate lots of good food and caught up with each other. we also had our secret santa... guess who i had to give a gift to? yep, ike! haha and ily got me and she got me a DVD movie of big daddy. but what made me upset is that we didnt do anything christmas related =( like i practiced all these christmas carols on the piano so then when the party would come around, we could all sing together haha. but we never got around to that. and...we have a kareoke machine at my house but we didnt do that either. oh well hopefully next time we can get around to that. i dont have the pictures yet but once i do, ill post them. thanks everyone for coming out... it was great getting together again !

whats up everybody! howve you all been ? hopefully good...now that midterms are over and the holidays are right around the corner.

first off, SECOND ROUND OF MIDTERMS is over! thank goodness. and i actually did pretty good! well its too early to celebrate. as long as i tear it up on the finals... ill have the greatest christmas vacation EVAR!

--well other than school lets see what i been up to. well i had my first shift at Riverside community hospital. it was tight! i got to meet lots of patients and their families. i got to take the blood pressure of some really old lady who could barely wake up so i had to lift up her arm and it was scary because i thought i was goin to hurt her ahah. umm and i talked to this one old Egyption guy who i think just got out of surgery. he was all tellin me about college because he was a biochemistry major and that he loves chemistry. he was all tellin me that he really appreciates volunteers and all so that was really cool. soon enough, it was overrr...next weekend i double shift, friday and saturday~

--our performance for church is comin up really soon! we been practicing and im almost done finishing up the piece to The Roots- Duck Down. its wack though because everyones flakin due to whatever reasons. but were performing again over the summer, so hopefully everyone will be dedicated during that time...

friendship games was a lot of fun!! i went straight after piano.. it started off slowly but it sped up soon. im sad because i missed the morning part when everyones all spirited. but its okay.. and the halftime show was pretty good for the most part. MCs from ucla were dopeee haha. dance teams were good too...then we played in the Alpine Green. my team was Shyd Kristelle and Melissa. haha well we all walk on 2 sticks together and we have to take each step together to race and beat the other schools. and guess what?

CCE intern training was so WACK. seriously...from 730AM - 5PM i almost cried because i was so tired ahah. i fell asleep during a few of the lectures ! and they caught me too...i was just so tired. we learned how to take blood pressures, proper procedures of how to interact with patients and how to transport them...how to use the equipment and given A LOT of information for this test we have in two weeks.

-once this ended went straight to bryans pad and we took a 2 hour nap, then hit the ochem books! that was it... and today we took the midterm. i dont want to say anything. i hope i did well...

mr duenas... RIP

2005-09-27T09:20:24Z

i know this is late and all, but i just wanted to say Rest In Peace Mr. Duenas...

I guess I don't have much to say about you...but for the small amount of time you were present in my life, you surely left a wonderful impression. I understand you were literally only my Spanish I teacher at Ontario High my freshman year, and I can't exactly say what, but you were a lot more. Mr. Duenas, you have always been someone I've looked up to and will take after for the rest of my life. If I had to describe you in one word, it would have to be inspirational.

I'm glad you stepped into my life because it's rare to meet such wholesome people like you. I feel like I'm in debt now to you and will try to compensate by hopefully positively influencing others lives as you did mine.

RIP Mr. Duenas

your former student,

-Ronald
