IELTS 101

I've been so busy lately that I wasn't able to update my blog for several weeks. I have to concentrate with my review for my upcoming IELTS exam. I have to focus on my review since I can't afford to retake this exam if I won't meet my required band score. I'm done with all the other requirements except for this so I really have to make sure to accomplish this by November.

I know, a lot of medical professionals can relate to me. IELTS is not an easy one. Well, if English has been your medium since birth, yes, it would be easier for you.

My 3-hour written exams would be tomorrow! Geeeeeeez, I'm nervous!Oh Lord, calm my nerves and anxiety.

Aren't these Longchamps so sophisticated? I read that these designs would be released by March 2012.

I fell in love with proposal stories when I saw this video. L-O-V-E-L-Y!

Going Back: My 5th Month Thoughts

I stumbled upon this card which I made for P while I was cleaning my closet today. This letter is 2 years and 6 months old now. Funny thing though, it still applies! Let me share it to you :)

•••

After 5 months of being in this long distance, I finally learned that there's no point being upset cause it's only going to make things worse.

I was on the verge of giving up so many times that I couldn't even keep count how many times I told him I wanted to take a break anymore. But if there's one thing I really admire about him, it's his patience. He never gave up.

Everytime I was difficult, he held on to me harder instead. Everytime I threw bitchfits, he pulled me closer. I guess with all his patience and with my perseverance of trying to make this work, we made it through our first year.

He trusted me a lot so I had my freedom to go out with my friends often. Truth is, I never really trusted him enough then but I just pretended I did so I wouldn't upset him. I think, the main things that made things work were patience, lots of trust, lots and lots of communication (I think we tried to talk at least once a day), loyalty of course and err... Love. WTF! So corny. Haha :)

The one and only good thing about LDR is the moment when we'll meet again after a long time apart. I woudn't say that all the sweat and tears and anger is worth it but it's almost worth it. I could not imagine us in the airport. A hug that would feel weird... Holding hands even weirder.

Frankly, if you ask me if this is hard, yeah, fucking hell yeah! It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do. LDR to me is always about fighting and making up and fighting and making up and repeat cycle. But if I have to do this for a few more years before I get an entire lifetime with someone I want to be with forever, I'd sign up to do it again and again.

So before you decide to go on a LDR with someone, you have to decide if that person is someone you can see yourself with next time. If the answer is yes, you cab do it I'm sure. Don't ever let LDR get in the way because it's not worth losing something as important as that.

Just throw in some patience, perseverance, trust, try to talk everyday and tell each other how your day has been (This gets tedious after some time. Everyday it's just "Babe, what did you do today?" blahblablah but at least, I know what's going on in his life.) and you must talk things out if you feel upset about something. I think those are the secrets to a successful LDR.

I guess no one can be truly good at this. It's just a matter of how we hold on against all odds and to never give up.

Lesson for the Day: "Stuff" or "Stuffs"

I know madaming makakarelate dito. I decided to write this blog post about words that retain its form mapa-plural o mapa-singular man. Dahil gusto ko na maibahagi ang aking munting nalalaman. But in reality, okay sana na makatulong ang blog post na ito na ma-i-correct yung mga pwede namang i-correct, in a nice way syempre :)

I'm not an expert. I'm not a grammar saint. I'm not an English major. I make mistakes. Simpleng mamamayan lamang po. Bear with me na lang. Shall we start?

Aminin, madami sa atin ang madalas na gumagamit ng salitang "stuff" at ginagawang "stuffS sa pag aakalang ito ang plural form neto. (Raises hand! But when I was young!) Wrong! They have the same form for singular and plural. The word is uncountable and has no plural. Same goes with:

• bread, 
• tea
• cheese
• jam
• soup
• soap
• snow
• cotton
• wood
• water
• information
• advice
• knowledge
• furniture
• fish
• food
• offspring

Kuha mo?

Everyone's so excited! :)

Gift for Someone Who Has Everything

Our 3rd year anniversary is fast approaching and I haven't bought anything yet for P. Ang hirap naman kasi mag isip! For someone who almost has everything, your mind would turn upside down thinking and thinking and thinking and thinking.

Look...

Eh I have given P:

• Team Manila Jacket
• Love letters
• Nike Pilipinas Jersey na sobrang gusto niya
• Love letters
• Shirts
• Fossil leather wallet
• Love letters
• Swatch watch to match his Nike shoes
• Love letters
• iPad
• Love letters
• Chocolate
• Scrapbook
• '100 Reasons Why I Love You' Booklet (Personalized at oo, sariling rason ko. Had it printed and bound.)
• Superman pillow
• Abubots
• Kumot (Opo, pati kumot! Haha)
• Pillowcase (Haha the LV pillowcase ha. Para match kami)

...and the list gooooooooes on and on and on. Haha lahat na yata maliit man o malaki eh naibigay na namin sa isa't isa. Ano pa ba pwede anniversary gift? Naloloka na ako! I always cook for him naman. I surprise him with breakfast meals together. Whenever I see something at the mall which I know na magugustuhan niya, I buy it naman for him. We buy din 'kambal' shirts together. He loves cologne/perfume and sobrang dami na ng collection niya. Name it! Gadgets, complete na din. Gundam collection naman, nako, wag na! Enough.

I'm dead. I really can't think of anything. P has everything a person would ask for. Aha! Hindi naman siya demanding, pwede na sa kanya unconditional love from me. Cheesy!

Huhu, I still need your opinion.

Bittersweet September

Dear September,

You've been too long for me. You've stayed for quite a long time. My 24 hours felt like 30 hours. Really!!!

Don't worry, my bittersweet September, I still thank you for coming since there were great things that happened.
1. After 3 weeks, I heard P's voice. We talked for 14 minutes. That's enough for a lonely heart like mine.
2. P decided to sign off. Yes!
3. Documents were submitted.
4. We never fought the entire month. Yey!
5. I ranked first in most of our exams. That's a confidence booster! :D

Byersh September! Hello October!
