ok...when did i last do this???

it has been forever and three quarters, lovers and friends!

i write to you all after my desperate housewives and right before i take a shower as i have clinicals tomorrow morning. i just thought i'd share some festivities for good measure. so my bertday was last week, and i appreciate all the love that i've been receiving. i mean, seriously, i don't usually get that much love. okaaay! what else? what did i get? i got dinners, concealer, a crown, a badge with a shot glass attached to it, cards, and a new watch to aid in my recording of vital signs. now i don't have to pretend to be taking pulses!

the other night i was at the blue monkey and had a touch too many drinks. i calculated it, and it would be equivalent to almost 10 shots. i know, i know...but i don't have much bodice mass! so yes, i did magic in the parking lot for the first tyme since i was like...5. no, i do not drink that much! stop!

before my desperate housewives acted desparate on the television screen for me, i cleaned my apartment, naturally, lit some candles and had a lovely dining moment.

oh, and upon further percolating, i have a peeling i will not be able to purchase my Audi A5 as it will cost me nine million dollars. wait...not really. let's just say my baby will be my third car. my honda will always be my number one. i'll McPurchase a C class after nursing skool, and when i gather enough funds, the A5 will be mine! sounds like a plan, right? okaaay!

what else? why on earth am i boring you with my exhausting thoughts? go do something celebratory. bask in some wonderment. i need to wash my bodice....

finally!

it has been forever and an eternity with a cherry on top since i've had internet access that was actually fast! this is me welcoming myself back to the land of all that is high speed internet. the at&t guy visited me today and made my internet service work. how i miss mariahdaily.com. yay!

nursing skool has been festive. lots of great folks and an interesting group of instructors. miss montgomery is the sweetest thing on the planet.i've been doing wonderously in my classes. we are in betwixt VN103, and Anatomy & Phisiology and dosage calcuations right now. pharmacology will begin soon. i'm really enjoying those ten minute breaks every fifty minutes. so

um...hm. i'm a bit at a loss for words right now as i am a touch tired. tired with a touch of oooh la la. my next entry will be much more glorious.

meanwhile, here is a fun one from CPR training day.

n'joy

pageantry of byuuuti

so i recently attended the Ms. Philippines Beauty Pageant (er...popularity contest) a couple of days ago at the Hilton Hotel, LAX. T'was a lovely night as i was with my 3tards and aunt fabulousity. the event was held by a Filipino humanitarian organization that likes to help hospitals and children and children in hospitals in the Philippines. AMR or something. so the fun wasn't so much the ceremony itself, as it was a bore.

well, let me tell you...

the event was hosted by some Filipino D-List celebrity and last year's Miss Philippines winner, Sheila Ferrari. no, i'm not kidding. that's really her name...it sounds like the name of a porn star or a stripper or a hooker. and what's even funnier is that she LOOKED the part. equipped with coloured contacts, falsies, hair extensions, and an awful cleavage-baring dress, Miss Ferrari sang the American national anthem. her voice is pretty, but she kept trying to channel Xtina Aguilera and ended up over-singing. she was even tossing her hair whilst she was singing. but yeah. she was a joke. she kept trying to act cute and be funny, and spoke with a baby voice, but was annoying instead. i swear her tits were fake...she kept shaking them whilst she was up at the podium announcing beauty pageant things.

it was fun listening to the fobs speak. they liked to say, "I would like to call on_____, to please come up da eeeeeestage." at one point Bernard Parks showed his support and did a little schpiel and one of the fobbish women was like---"Bernard Park, thank you so maash por dropping!" dropping what? lol. they provided lots of fodder throughout the evening for me to make fun of. it was hillarity at my table.

the most boring part of the event was the actual crowning ceremony. it was awful. it lasted for an eternity. there are three categories for the beauty queens. we have Mrs. Philippines, Miss Philippines, and Miss Teen Philippines. and each one has a Universe, World, and some 3rd place fancy name as well. so each one of those was crowned and the name of the person who would be placing the crown on the winner's head and the person pinning the sash were announced, and in betwixt each one there was an endless photo-session extravaganza as there was a line of paparazzi. after all nine women were crowned, i swear it had to be over 12 talent awards were handed out and after each one, an inspirational soft rock classic would play... the most ridiculous being the winner of the Lugaw Competition...they F-ing played Wind Beneath my Wings! lord...

so jonathan and I had our favourites for the Miss Philippines segment, because two of the girls were very fierce throughout the whole thing. the winner, Charlene, was a joke. she's in eighth grade, and i swear she has watched EVERY single episode of Top Model and the Tyra Banks show because she was very beyonce/tyra/top model/tranny-fierce. the way she would strike a pose to the beat of the music, and walk around like she was on a runway was a joke. i was wondering how she became so fierce, and it turns out her vocal coach and mentor is none other than miss spectacularity herself, Sheila Ferrari...making a baby-prostitute out of Miss Charlene.

but yeah. after the endless ceremony finally ended, we shook it up on the dance floor. me and jubilee had a wonderous tyme copying this silly white guy attempting to dance. it was a lovely night, but i don't think i ever want to do this again. unless of course, my jubilee is a participant...
