tHe bOho cHicK v 1.0

<sigh>

 I can't say I that I don't envy my classmates right now, the physio and MRL part I don't really give an iota of concern, but man oh man, they are ACTUALLY evaluating patients/clients already...how cool is that? Plus they get to study occupational hazards in different workplace settings, talk about getting specialized! I've read all about this on our yahoo group, and they went to like the Manila Bulletin office and even at PAL! There's a tinge of wistfulness in my tone...<sniff..sniff>.

There's this one message entitled, "Suggested GMS for VIM". I know the occupational therapy student has a lot of acronyms to memorize there's the basics which I have firm grasp on like AA (Activity Analysis), T-L (Teaching Learning), GA (Group Activity), and MOHO (Model of Human Occupation), adn the institutions like OTAP, and stuff...but GMS? VIM? So even if I had no business in OT anymore, I read the message, GMS stands for Gross Motor Skills (that I know) and VIM is actually (Video Instruction Medium or something)...way too many technical terms. Wish you all the best guys!

Speaking of my beloved OT blockmates, they, as Juniper put it, have low impulse control...when I think about it, their impulse control is nil. Because I sent them a letter, which I divided in two installments, one I sent to Juniper and one I sent to Ding. I sent them both at the same day, and now after two weeks (I have a regressing faith on the Philippine postal system) the one that's addressed to Jun arrived. They were supposed to wait for the second letter before reading it, but as Juniper said, low impulse control, they read it eventhough the second part hadn't arrived the destination yet. It was only Karen who had the self-will to not hear of the first letter's contents and wait for the second one.

Juniper asked me if I wanted to submit a work for the UP Panitikan coffetable book project. It just gives me the shivers. I rarely make my work public and since entering University I haven't joined in any contests, I am scared, because the poems I make are (what I feel) not for public viewing...But then who knows? I may just get the courage. I love the UP Panitikan site, it's all the who's who in Filipino Literature, and they have links to the top writers blogs/sites too.Like Jessica Zafra, N.V.M. Gonzales and Bienvenido Lumbera...I guess you could say that this site represents another what-could-have-been life for me...
