All I Really Need To Know About First Aid I Should Have Learned In One Day

...And not five. That Red Cross thing was all a big joke. I can't believe I let this training steal my time meant for reading books. There are CN students who are having a hard time keeping their excessive fondness to extra-curricular activities to themselves. I get very annoyed when they start to entail a hint of grave consequence if you don't attend the training. "Matter of life and death, kelangan daw 'to bago gumradweyt." Nek-nek! But I was even more annoyed with gullibility which almost always gets hold of me especially on those times when they had something to do with grades. GRADES! It's not that I'm a GC (though now I realize there’s nothing really wrong about being a GC unless one tends to have crab mentality), I just don't want my grades to be messed up on my last year in school.

And so I paid 650php for the never-ending leadership training (this is my fourth time in 6 months!) and basic life support training only to learn from my friends after that we were deceived by the over-acting CN students. Para lang daw may mailagay sa resume! Altogether it's a 7-day, 8a-5p training and I could not believe myself having endured the utter dread and heat in the classroom and at the Red Cross Manila Chapter. It's a good thing my Troma pips were there to obliterate the bad vibes during lecture. Afterward, I'd ask them to have dinner outside and they'd give in without insinuating any form of resistance.

Complaining aside, I'm proud to say that I now know the proper CPR and bandaging. Then again, I still could have learned that in a day.

Birthday Greetings (June 4, 2006)

Happy 21st birthday to my good pal Chiarra who gets more and more radiant every time I visit her friendster profile. Sana maisipan mong bumisita dito at mag-uwi ng guapong Aussie. =]

And of course, happy birthday to my beloved mother who looks slimmer and younger each day. Love you.
