Mabuhay! I am Micaela a.k.a. micamyx/toshtengs in the world-wide-web. I am a fresh Information Technology graduate born and raised in Dagupan City. I am a certified member of the NBSB (No Boyfriend Since Birth) club and I'm proud of it! I'm a TRUE TAURUS. Daughter of a former disc jockey and Chief Nurse, a caring sister to a 13-year old special child . I Love Performing and Philippine Showbiz! I may be intimidating at first, but later on I'll prove to you that FIRST IMPRESSIONS NEVER LAST. I can be the best gURLFwend you'll ever have!
I used to watch the mexican telenovela "Marimar" when I was younger (blame my nanny LOL) and yes, I was once a Thalia fan. I was one of those kids who collected pictures of her and requested her uh, own version of the song "Nandito ako".
I remember being traumatized as a kid when I watched the popular mudscene of this telenovela. Angelica was so mean!! haha. Because of that, I've decided to post the versions of the mudscene here in this entry. I'm quite sure that a lot of fanatics are looking for this one too.
MUDSCENE THEN: (Mexican Version)
and now for the Philippine Version
I am happy because I received another long distance call from Keisha. She is now based in India and despite the fact that we chat often and exchange emails from time to time, she still manages to call me up. Long distance calls are expensive that's why I was wondering why she keeps on calling me. Don't get me wrong there! I love the fact that she's making an effort to keep in touch with me, but I am also worried because I know her financial condition and she's still a student. She then told me 3longdistance.

Two weeks ago, I went to the Annual Convention of Philippine Nurses Association Pangasinan Chapter. If you're thinking that I am a Nursing student or a nurse by profession, I'm not. I went there to show my support to receive an achievement award for my mom and at the same time to show my support to the officers and members.
One of the officers told me that they went to Cagayan de Oro last October for the premiere of the movie simply called "NARS", a movie tribute for nurses and nursing students. The movie was produced by Carl & Carl Productions and was directed by Adolfo Alix Jr. The movie stars Agot Isidro, Jodi Sta. Maria, Jon Avila, Coco Martin and Jennylyn Mercado. Also included in the cast are Jeffrey Hidalgo and my friend, Chx Alcala.
I was suppose to watch the movie in Urdaneta City the other week (they had a film showing and mini-show there) but for some personal reasons, I didn't make it there. I am hoping that there will be a chance for the movie to be shown here in Dagupan.
Here's a press release describing the five lead characters of the movie:
FIVE PEOPLE, FIVE STORIES – As earlier noted, "Nars" captures the stories of five people who all aspire to be nurses.
Jennylyn Mercado is Ela, who sets aside her own dreams and takes up nursing to alleviate her family from poverty.
Adrinne is played by Jodi Sta. Maria, whose parents are working abroad, providing her money and material things. But what she longs for are love and their presence. She wants to work in Australia to spite her absentee parents.
Noel is portrayed by Coco Martin, gay and proud of it. He intends to work in Europe and dreams of becoming a "blushing bride."
Jon Avila is Liam, whose US-based Filipino parents send him to the Philippines where nursing education is much cheaper. Liam discovers his roots and falls in love with Ela. (Jon says he identifies with nurses as both parents and a sister are nurses based in London).
Then there’s Marissa (Agot Isidro), a doctor by profession who takes up nursing to follow her family in the US. (Strange as it may sound, doctors take up nursing to work abroad and get fat pay, easily $ 4,000 to $ 5,000 a month – for a start. There are also lawyers who enroll in nursing schools).
Here's the trailer of the movie:

A good friend of mine told me that he is interested to go into a military school like his dad. He also feels that this is the only way he can get rid with his past wrong doings and this is also his childhood dream.
Medical School Options offers a national directory with over 800 contacts on Military Schools. Medical School Options is determined to help parents who have struggling teens and those who need family help. Attending in teen boot camps are often among the first and only solution that parents can possibly think of when they are in need of help. The site works hard at finding alternative schools and programs for troubled teens in need of little help.
After 16 1/2 years I’ve spent in school, I can now finally say “Sa Wakas, Graduate na Ako!“
I can’t help but remember my first week ever in school:
Before the first day of classes started, my father decided to bring me to my “future classroom” so that I’ll have an idea on what school really looks like. I was amazed when I saw a lot of learning materials (I called them toys haha),
crayolas (I am a crayola addict as a kid LOL) and those little tables and chairs. I wanted to stay there and live there forever. I want to sleep in school.
I do really have a good memory and I remember enjoying every activity we had in school. For me, it was more of a playground since I don’t have any playmate at home except my yaya and some neighbors who are older than me. How was I as a pre-school student? Well.. I was best in recitation and most talkative haha
