Soar High!

Soar High!
     
Yesterday, I witnessed my cousin's and sister's elementary graduation. It's still a long way run for them but it's a good start. They're still gonna have a lot of things to go thru. High school drama would probably overwhelm them but I know they're equipped with the things they need to kind of get thru that. High school drama is not just the only thing to prepare for of course. Algebra, Biology, Chemistry, Trigonometry, and Physics! Good luck! I miss high school really. 


The event started with a mass. Baccalaureate Mass. The homily was great. I hope they kids listened though. Oh can I just say that I missed UST's and I hate to say this but I really regret it. Look at the photo below. I bet it was magical. 

   
Oh well. Things happen, At least I have this picture to keep. Even though it's not mine. LOL. Oh I also missed the infamous ARC OF THE CENTURIES EXIT which is like, a tradition but don't you worry, I'm gonna have my own version of that walk some other time soon. 


So that happened. Love that we had our desert first. I love my mom. So that's it. Congratulations, girls! I can't wait to see you graduate high school. And eventually, college.

USTv IX and more!

USTv IX and more!
So I actually decided to pick up my graduation pictures at Red Images because you know! I actually am supposed to pick that up last week but because of thesis stuff, you know! So since our thesis is done and all that, there's no reason for delaying it na. Anyways, after picking up my graduation pictures, we headed straight to UST to check out what's happening or whatnot. And since there's still not much people and there's like, no happenings yet, my cousin and I decided to get ourselves a drink. 


Cousin had the D'Cream Special while I had the Golden Sun. Just a quick review though. Golden Sun in my opinion is like, pure cream. It's really really sweet and creamy or maybe they kind of made a mistake there I wouldn't know of course because it was my first time ordering that. D'Cream Special is like, awesome (kind of) but it's still too sweet. I couldn't blame them of course because it's in the name. 


After we bought drinks, we bought this. I was really curious about this stuff because everyone's like getting this and would eat this on the way so I was like, hey, it's time! Haha


It was good! Like, on the go food which is very smart of them because you know, university students don't have much time to queue for McDonald's or KFC with their 1 hour break so yeah. Awesome awesome. Can't wait to try their other stuff. 


Love the lights. :))


The flowers from this tree is actually falling down and it looks so pretty on the ground.


Capture the moment, they said. 


There were more artists who came but I wasn't able to take pictures of them, sorry. Anyways. It was overall fun. I guess it was only my second time watching the ceremony but yeah, I did enjoy it. Of course we didn't go home straight after that. We kind of took pictures pa. Some of them I will share soon! :) That's all.

The U.P. Experience.

The U.P. Experience.
Good news guys! Thesis done! :)) Happy kid! Okay so I promise myself not to blog about this until we've submitted all our requirements so I'm free to do so now.


We held our thesis experiment proper at the University of the Philippines, Manila mainly because University of Santo Tomas doesn't rear mosquitoes that we can use for the experiment. Our Thesis Adviser recommended us there and so yeah.


Me and le friend/thesis mate.

  

We made use of the Parasitology laboratory which is like, cool. It's not the usual air-conditioned UST type of laboratory and it's like very vintage looking so I like it. After our Thesis Oral Defense, le friend and I were talking about how we encompassed everything and we were talking about how we liked the U.P. experience and stuff and we were also thankful on how nice our U.P. mentors were during our stay there. 


THESIS IT!

Army Navy. UST.

Army Navy in UST is kind of new so it's always jump packed and all that but since we were so happy and we were really in the mood to celebrate the success of our Thesis Oral Defense, we didn't mind waiting. The thing is we were actually supposed to take-out the food and eat inside the uni but I guess we were lucky to be able to find a place inside so we stayed. 


That guy in a plaid shirt is my friend as well :)) Just saying. 


Thesis group mates minus 1. Oh well. 


Featuring AJ's creepy smile. Hahaha for some reason, nakakainis. Hahaha joke lang. Peace! :))


I had Burger there but actually, I was thinking of getting Chicken Burrito but since I already had Chicken Sandwich at Pancake House earlier, so I kind of changed up my mind. 


I'm gonna miss this group! Love! :)

Chill Out!

Chill Out!
If you're wondering where this is at, you might want to locate Jollibee Dapitan and then probably locate Love Lite and it's somewhere there! You go girl! Hahaha it's just my second time there. The first one I tried was a strawberry drink with some bursting bubble goodness but it's not actually that good. I mean, it's actually good and somehow interesting but you know! 


Loving Salty drinks lately. Like, addicted! I know it's not healthy to drink stuff like this everyday because you know, Henderson- Hasselbach equation. Wait, what? Hahaha


Usually, I really sip a little bit of the floating thingy before I mix everything up but I don't know what happened here because I kind of forgot I think and so my drink was a little bit saltier than normal but whatever. Still delish. But salty. Haha


On the same date that this happened, I also bought books from C&E because of the book sale which is like, CRAZY! Really crazy! A friend of mine asked me to buy a book for him and then I was tempted to buy a different book for myself because you know! I'm a sucker for sale. Who isn't? Haha

Thesis It!

Thesis It!
Finally done with Thesis Oral Defense! Yay! It was a long time coming. The deadline was supposed to be on the last week of January and then it was moved to the second week of February and then boom! We had our Final Defense yesterday. Which I would consider a success!


Still not done with paper works which will take about a day or two still but so far, so good. I mean, the Oral Defense is what most groups fear so since we've already finished that, it's like, wow! We're done. The picture above shows my group, our adviser, and our panellists right after the Oral Defense.


EFFORT! Like, some gave more than the others but the point is, I know in my heart that we all worked hard for this THESIS and yeah, congratulations to all of us. ONE STEP CLOSER, indeed.


It's kind of sad that it's done but at the same time, it's like a very fulfilling task to be done so whatever. Thank you group mates! It was such an experience working with all of you. I mean, some. Nah, just kidding. Haha






 

Time to do the paper works! :))

For SCIENCE and <3
After our surveys and all that, we found out that Tuberculosis is the primary concern in the community that we're in. With that being said, we focused on the problem. 


We conducted a seminar, had games, had fun, gave free food, and all that stuff. I guess it's really very helpful for the community since according to the survey we conducted last time, most of them are not able to finish school so it's not everyday that someone like our speaker would come to their community and inform them about their number 1 concern when it comes to health.


Us hearing our leader's explanation. Me playing the role of kunwaring nakikinig. Chika lang. Haha


We invited an alumni as a speaker of the said event. We, students, actually listened more to the lecture than the stake holders. Quite an awesome lecture.


F na F! The guys should actually have their dance number but since they're too shy to dance, these little kiddos did the thing for them.


And then us, the food committee did our thing. We distributed packed lunch to the people who attended our seminar and all that thing that happened. I don't know if my group mates feel the same way or whatever but I really feel thankful for this experience. Thankful that I get to talk to people who I probably wouldn't have a chance to talk with if not for this activity.  I'm not a people person. I might consider being a PATHOLOGIST. 


Anyways, thank you UST for having a program like this. I mean, even though it can really be so tiring, at the end of the day, you can always give it a rest. But you can't take away the experience. Thank you Mr. Tiu and Mr. Raymundo for the pictures! :) I owe these pictures to you guys.
