Fainting Spell

Last week, me and my close friend completed our training for Intravenous Therapy (September 25 - 27, 2008). And the closing day was such a laugh, well for me that is. It's because I experienced something totally new that day... I fainted.

The third day of our training was meant to be a return demonstration of the proper techniques in doing Intravenous Therapy, including pricking our partner's hand with a cannula (gauge 22) so as to get the feel of doing it on other people. Anyway, suffice to say, I fainted right after the cannula was pulled out of my skin (too many factors to consider regarding why I fainted, though). Weird thing was, I recovered only scant minutes after I fainted (roughly 2-3 minutes only). Anyhow, it was certainly a scene stealer because everyone was focused on reviewing the procedures when this happened. All of a sudden, the instructors were running towards me, including the chief nurse. I was abysmally horrified when I got back my senses and saw all of them swarming around me like flies. But I really appreciate the effort and care they gave me. Specially my friend, who I know (by her own words) almost cried when she saw me slither to my knees in a dead faint. Hehehe.

The funniest thing about the whole experience though was the fact that after I fainted, I became the center of attention. It was really disconcerting. Everyone was asking me if I was okay and why I fainted. How was I to know why I fainted? I could only speculate, as well as they do, the reason for that episode. My friend was also looked at by others, though in a very different manner. I later learned the reason from the people who wanted to clear the reason why I fainted. Apparently, the gossip was that my friend had to prick me more than once, becoming the very reason why I fainted. Unfortunately for whoever spread that nasty rumor (meant to destroy my friend), that was so NOT TRUE!!! I could only say, to the person who created this rumor that nothing good comes from saying bad about others, specially if it's not true.

Miley's Man

Justin Gaston (Miley Cyrus' new boyfriend) simply just simmers with hotness! Whew! He's definitely an eye candy. And, as my sister says, she definitely traded up when she exchanged old boyfriend Nick Jonas for this new guy. You go, girl! Here's a clip from Joel McHale's "The Soup" about their relationship. Makes me laugh everytime. Hahahaha.

Anyhow, what Joel Mchale said what kind of a satire towards young Hollywood. Calling to mind what Bette Midler said once on "The View": "If young Hollywood wants to become OLD HOLLYWOOD, they better clean up their act". And that is quite right on target. Because nothing could save your career except a total make-over of your attitudes.

And what about "promise rings"? Celebrities should not only educate themselves but also their fans on the reasons why they wear such rings. Because these rings have been tainted in the past by some celebrities (The Simpson sisters: Ashlee and Jessica, Britney Spears) and we all know how two of those marriages ended, while the third one had no resolve to carry out the promise. It reflects badly on the people who wear these rings and stay true to their promise. Realize your responsibilities to yourself, to your fans, and to the people around you.

Having worn my hair long for like forever, I finally decided I needed a major hair make-over. And I promise you, it really was a complete 180-degree turn from my past hair style. Changing my hairstyle was nerve-wrecking, nail-biting suspense because I truly did not know what hairstyle would fit me. I had the good fortune of haing my hair done by a professional who adviced me on what would look good on me, depending on the length I wanted my cut. I told her that I wanted it short, but not uber-short (like a pixie cut) because that would be totally way over my head. Anyhow, got my hair done, and shocked and awed those whom I knew. They all remarked that I don't look like my usual self (duh?). One friend did not even recognize me though I was standing right in front of her (you know who you are, gurl!). That experience was quite a laugh. :D

Britney won! Britney won! Britney won! I just had to say that three times. The 2008 MTV Video Music Awards just wrapped up and Britney took home three awards for her video "Piece of Me", namely Best Female Artist, Best Pop Video, and Video of the Year. She opened the show and wowed audiences around the world with her beautiful toned body and miraculous comeback. Not that THAT was surprising. Britney always had people to support her even when she was going through the toughest times in her life this past year. People rooted for her to make a comeback because she is still "THE POP PRINCESS" of all time. Congratulations to you Britney!!! Hopefully, we see more of your wonderful work in the days to come.

I just came from the hospital (for a check-up) and nothing is worse than people actually believing you have one kind of sickness when you know you don't. I know my body, people. Hahaha. Anyway, after one wretched day of having a CBC done (that's "Complete Blood Count" FYI), and shivering inside the hospital lobby waiting for, obviously, NORMAL results, the doctor finally gave me her prescription, for COLDS. Did I mention that I was previously running a high temperature for the past SIX days, and that I had a horrible COUGH??? I did, to her. But that was her diagnosis, and she knows better than I do. Oh well... Anyhow, after that wonderful (aaaaargh) check-up, I bought my fave Java Chip coffee from the nearby Starbucks and Lo and Behold, I won a complimentary tall frappuccino!!! Yippee!!! I would never have thought today would end soooooo good. Hahahaha... On the way home, I smiled, despite the pain on my mouth, as I sipped my Java Chip, savoring every drop of that lucky cup!!! 'Til next time, toodles!!!
