Wednesday 17 June 2009

so yesterday i finished my context exam like an hour early, and i was pretty confident that was all i could write down . (though nothing was on it that me and janey studied! no TPN or diahoerrea or burning up! .

also, i met tim cahill.

who?

yeah, the socceroo.



and got two photos with him.




(yeah, i photoshopped this one, cause it was too white/bright XD but its a real photo srsly!)

why is my head so big? iunno. need xl pillow :)



i think the most exciting part however, was reliving old school stalking times with my jn! how i miss that girl (:

we ran all the way from fed square to flinders all the way down to spring st, and i didn't feel puffed at all :) thank you gym, and adrenaline too i guess.

he was such a sweetheart! he didn't object to any photos, and stayed like half an hour longer than the rest of the socceroos to sign and meet fans. he said it was a pleasure to take a photo with me :D oh gosh swoooon much? but you still swoon me more.. how wrong is that?

FACT: i can beat this.

twitter. a spot for quick thoughts and well.. stalking seeing what celebrities are thinking at all times. it's the best. miley cyrus, you are my best friend now. so is bobbie houston. and judah smith.

yeah, some of it can be quite trivial.. but sometimes you come across random links like this one by @rainnwilson.

rainnwilsonKendra Steinmetz is a huge Dwight fan and has cancer. She wears, as do I, a "Fact: I can beat this" bracelet. http://tinyurl.com/ngg2oy

rainnwilsonSend her love and prayers and messages of support, will you? http://tinyurl.com/ngg2oy FACT: SHE CAN BEAT THIS

It's bascially a blog/website documenting this little girl's journey through her fight with Hepatoblastoma, or liver cancer. Truely inspirational stuff. It really kicks you out of the self-pity parties that we often have for ourselves, when we really, have so much to be thankful for.

And it's pretty cool that Dwight (aka rainnwilson) twittered about it too.

FACT: I CAN BEAT THIS.

walking her home

This song was constantly on the radio like a year ago, but it just played again on my iTunes.. and gosh. I love it.


Looking back
He sees it all
It was her first date the night he came to call

Her dad said
Son, Have her home on time
And promise me you'll never leave her side
He took her to a show in town
And he was ten feet off the ground

He was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him
Down that old road
With the stars up above
He remembers where he was the night he fell in love
He was walking her home

Ten more years and a waiting room
At half past one
And the doctor said come in and meet your son

His knees went weak
When he saw his wife
She was smiling as she said he's got your eyes

And as she slept he held her tight
His mind went back to that first night

He was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him
Down that old road
With the stars up above
He remembers where he was the night he fell in love
He was walking her home

He walked her through the best days of her life
Sixty years together and he never left her side

A nursing home
At eighty-five
And the doctor said it could be her last night
And the nurse said Oh, Should we tell him now
Or should he wait until the morning to find out ?

But when they checked her room that night
He was laying by her side

Oh he was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled when he said this is not the end
And just for a while they were eighteen
And she was still more beautiful to him than anything
He was walking her home
He was walking her home

Looking back
He sees it all
It was her first date the night he came to call

Working in hospital/ nursing home, I've come across so many life stories and so many real life love stories. These stories aren't just the happy ending you see in movies, where the wedding bells rings and that's the end.. (cause the real work begins after the wedding ;) ) but stories of lives lived together, probelms faced and overcome, together.

These people really show that love does exist in this world.. even at 96 years of age. It really warms your heart when you see the partner of one of your patients come in and even though their spouse has dementia and can't even talk anymore.. they come in day by day, just to sit next to their love and just hold their hand.

It's not a rare phenomenon, if we work at it, we will all find that one day :)

musicals

i love musicals .

my brother's pretty much just been sending me musical youtubes of musicals from the TONY awards 2009 (some we haven't gotten here yet..) SHREK the musical. sweeny todd. LAUREN GRAHAM in guys&dolls.

and next to normal:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPfxUGMKgLA

you don't know
the sensation that you're screaming but you never make a sound
to wake up in tears and have to start a new day
do you know what it's like to die alive?

i just think you should know that
i am the one who knows you
i am the one who cares
i am the one who'll always be there


and of course, when you think of TONYs.. i think..

death



But I'm going to use the rest of my life proving to you.

And of the million things a heart can hold
And of all the things I've come to know,
I Love.

I need Love
I can see I'll be alright With you now by my side.
But if tomorrow you're gone
And I still go on

I promise to
Spend the rest of me on you.

People say we are where we belong.
We hold each other's hands
As if we're holding on.

And to me a little of your you
Is like
A little bit of sun That makes the moon.
And if the "If's" we plan around become "When's."
If our center aisle narrows and bends
our Love.
And
If there ever was a shred of doubt
This hopelessly romantic now

And
I hope that time can slow us down
And minutes pass like hours now
And all the clocks counting down
To Love.

I need Love.
I can see that I'll be alright
With you now by my side.

And if tomorrow you're gone
And I still go on
I'll promise to
Spend the rest of me on you


--

since hearing about zoe's friend passing away
i can't help but think about life. death. love.
and that in the end, it's really all about people
about those that loved and how much you loved
and the impact your life made on others that you'll leave behind

looking at my life, i'm not sure what sort of legacy i'll leave behind..
and it's morbid to think about, but i guess it's due
what if tomorrow never comes..
what will people remember me for?
will my time on earth be meaningless?
what if i never live up to the purposes that God put me here for?

.. i don't know.

i'd like to think i'm getting there
i really do believe nursing is where God want me to be
saving lives. showing compassion. loving the vulnerable.
and i really do try my best in all my relationships
to make time for people and rants and funs
but in the end, will that be enough?

again, i don't know..

but at least i have my concert funeral all planned :)
thanks janey. i love you, if you cry or not.
(and you'd better MAKE him cry. but hopefully he'll realise before i actually die..)

judah smith


i love this man.
i want to be his wife.

not in the way that i want to be zefron's wife
but because he is truly an inspiring guy
the way he lives his life
the way he shares his life through his sermons
the transparency
and the witt
the passion he has for youth and for people

that he's been faithfully serving as a youth pastor
(one of the biggest youth groups in usa)
and now, he's been appointed as the senior pastor
starting in september :)
(and he's only turning 30)


oh and he just had a baby girl, gracie rene.


okay now that was just a little bit creepy.

and it doesn't hurt that he's a pastor's kid.
and wears pink.



oh yeah, watch out world.

cancer for dummies.

cancer. for dummies. like me.
ft. asian gangstas. fobs. and bollywoods.

ńëìĻ says:
so basically
T cells are like gang bosses
when a foreign body attacks the body
i.e ANTIGEN
saraARMANhappybirthday : ) http://www.noterrorismno.tk/ says:
i.e ASIAN
ńëìĻ says:
yes
Phagocytes find these Asians and eat it
oki
when they waste them right
they know theres still a boat full more of ASIANS
saraARMANhappybirthday : ) http://www.noterrorismno.tk/ says:
OH NOES
ńëìĻ says:
so
what they do
is the get a piece of the dead ASIAN
I.e his fob clothing
saraARMANhappybirthday : ) http://www.noterrorismno.tk/ says:
some red hair dye
ńëìĻ says:
yea
and like stick it to a piece of paper so they can identify other FOB asians thats invaded
this paper which has a piece of thier red dye hair is called MHC 2
major histo complex
so
ńëìĻ says:
they give this paper to someone higher up in thier gang.. the right hand man of the big boss
= T HELPER CELLS
so the dude who gave the right hand man the identity paper
is now called a ANTIGEN PRRSENTING CELL
APC
saraARMANhappybirthday : ) http://www.noterrorismno.tk/ says:
OK
ńëìĻ says:
they can either be b cells, macrophagees or dendrites
but they only become APC one only after they kill the ASIAN
and stick his red hair dye on the piece of paper
oki
saraARMANhappybirthday : ) http://www.noterrorismno.tk/ says:
whats the piece of paper?
O___o
ńëìĻ says:
MHC2
major histocomplex
saraARMANhappybirthday : ) http://www.noterrorismno.tk/ says:
OH YES
ńëìĻ says:
so
onece the right hand man recieves the paper from the APC
he tells his cronies i.e B CELLS
to make anti ASIAN bombs
= antibodies
saraARMANhappybirthday : ) http://www.noterrorismno.tk/ says:
ahhhhhh
which B cells
b for bollywood aka indians cause they do all the manual labour
IM SO RACIST
):
ńëìĻ says:
LOL
ńëìĻ says:
the right hand man (t helper cell) gets more thugs (macropahges, neutrophils) to come and help them beat up FOBS
and they go and beat up the fobs
saraARMANhappybirthday : ) http://www.noterrorismno.tk/ says:
is that it?
ńëìĻ says:
gets it?
saraARMANhappybirthday : ) http://www.noterrorismno.tk/ says:
WAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ńëìĻ says:
lol
saraARMANhappybirthday : ) http://www.noterrorismno.tk/ says:
yes
thank you
ńëìĻ says:
theres one more
saraARMANhappybirthday : ) http://www.noterrorismno.tk/ says:
okok
ńëìĻ says:
we didnt talk about
saraARMANhappybirthday : ) http://www.noterrorismno.tk/ says:
how does this relate to cancer
ńëìĻ says:
which is relate to cancer
cause its the thelper cells that regonise mutated celss
cells
i.e cancer cells
the BIG BOSS
saraARMANhappybirthday : ) http://www.noterrorismno.tk/ says:
T KILLER
ńëìĻ says:
T KILLER
saraARMANhappybirthday : ) http://www.noterrorismno.tk/ says:
YES
ńëìĻ says:
soo big bosses job in gangstas are to beat up and kill the cell that sqeals to the cops
saraARMANhappybirthday : ) http://www.noterrorismno.tk/ says:
which cell is that?
cancer?
ńëìĻ says:
yea
oki
so
what happens
when i cell gets infected i.e UNDERCOVER COPS!
so when cells get infected, or produce abnormal proteins or are replicating fast
they put a piece of this abnormal protein on the MHC1 (MHC2 is for the other process we tlaked about above)
and the infected cells become antigen presenting cells themselves
T KILLER can only recognise MHC1 bound antigen
and they come andmake a whole in the cell and inject granzymes and other immune chemicals to kill the infected cell

136 hours.
30 hours of driving.
5.30ish morning wakeups.
10pmish finishes.
that one long road.
the beach.
chocolate-present giving patients.
the 20th birthday.
loverly fatima and caitlin.
one step closer to graduation.

.. and i'm done!

for those who didn't know (cough, jason) the past four weeks i have been doing my hospital placements at como, which is in parkdale. where? near mordiallic. which is what.. 45-50minutes drive away? early starts. late finishes. all that jazz. and i'm exhausted. i'm glad it's all over, but i really did enjoy my time there. i've learnt so much. from being a complete noob, to where i am now (on my assessment tools it says 'proficient' OH YEAH). it's been a blast! i would do it all again, and i wouldn't say that if it weren't for my fellow student, fatima and my awesome clinical teacher, caitlin! i love them to bits, and it was really sad saying bye today :(

took a few happy snaps today, and i'll upload them soon.

but for now..
stop swooning and..

some random 21 year old male from USA is commenting on my dad's blog.
