Oath Taking Day

It's been two weeks since I blogged about things or about everyday life... since I don't have work yet I just have my daily routine of waking up, watching t.v. the whole day and eating three important meals per day. These past two weeks is a rainy day and I was so lazy to get out of the house and how could I get out? I even don't have enough money to just eat outside or meet some friends within the subdivision.

October 1 came and I had the chance to talked to Motmot about our plans for tomorrow's event which is our oath taking at the Araneta Coliseum around 8am and our expected guest Karlo.

I woke up around 5:45am even though I set my cellphone to alarm at 5:00am, what else is new? even though I set the alarm at a certain time that I want, still I would wake up late as I expected. Motmot was about to fetch me around 6am because her car is on coding so we better get to the venue before 7am or else she could be stopped and be ticketed by the MMDA traffic enforcer. Fortunately, we arrived at the venue within 30 minutes and there is already a queue, but first we have to find a parking space for her car and luckily found one near the entrance. Before we get out of the car, I waited for her to finish fixing her self like putting some make-up and fixing her hair and putting her nurse's cap. When all is set and done, we decided to enter the premises because it's a first come, first serve seating arrangement. We haven't eaten our breakfast which is the important meal of the day and decided to bought some burgers and bottled water from Wendy's which is located inside the coliseum. Motmot got her friend to come with her since she is alone. We got our souvenir program near the entrance which is for free, would you believe it? There are also those annoying people who forcibly place a ribbon on our gala and saying that they are the official photographer of the PRC, but sorry for them I turned them down and said that it isn't necessary anyway. We managed to get to our seats having a great view from the stage. Luckily some of my schoolmates were seated infront of us. The program started around 9:30am, as usual delayed as expected. The speaker announced that the seats are just enough for the inductees but many of the late inductees don't have seats and others decided to stand up or be seated on the stairs while the program is going on. The program is kinnda boring because of the speakers and of the presentation of the top 10. We are just an audience for them and just got to participate when the oath taking is already the next in line. We also had our nurse's pledge and the oath taking for the PNA. After the program, we took some pictures while inside the dome and went outside to meet our expected guest. I also managed to take some pictures with my classmates even though my digicam doesn't work because I don't have new batteries to replaced the old ones, instead I borrowed my mother cellphone which has a cam feature.

After the oath taking, we went inside the Gateway Mall to change our outfits into more comfortable ones. We are supposed to have our lunch there but decided to eat at Trinoma since we have to rush going there before 3pm because of the coding again. But before we got into the car, it was already raining hard outside and can't get there even by running. My sight starts getting blurred and that signals me to eat already and I need some sugar. Since the car was parked near the entrance of the coliseum and infront of the GoNuts Donuts, we decided to have some donuts to surpass our hunger.

When we reached Trinoma we are undecided as to where are we going to have our lunch, we picked from Cibo, Recipes, La Mesa Grill and ended up at California Pizza Kitchen. The idea was good since I haven't eaten at those restaurants and decided to give it a shot. We ordered a pizza which is named "Worker's", which is their best-seller and a pasta which is looked like a carbonara but when you tasted it, it just melts in your mouth. For our drinks, Motmot and I ordered a raspberry iced tea which is refillable. Karlo ordered different sodas which is also refillable. Motmot and I decided that it's our treat to Karlo since we are already a registered nurse. We strolled and checked out the different stores inside the mall and also strolled outside because they have a garden and fountain outside surrounding the front and top of the mall. We also dropped by Dairy Queen to buy some treats. Then we strolled again and didn't have the chance to watch a movie since the time is already approching 6pm and the coding ends at 7pm so we decided to eat at Taco Bell and decided to go home around 8pm... Oh what a great tiring day!!! ^_^
