Internship ONE. DONE.

Image
I figured some people might read my INTERSHIP I post as Internship (I) as in, ME, MYSELF and I. But then that's actually (ONE). Just so you know. PEACE! :D So I just had my last night duty and last duty in that sense. Memories! I'll definitely miss my staffs there. It's been 5 months of Internship and WOW thinking about it now, that was fast. I know I blogged about me wishing it to be over soon but hey. I actually think that everyday was a day well spent. And that's all that matters for now. Sadly, I'm not gonna be with anyone in the picture on my next IN. In this picture, and the one below this, I'm actually closest to ALI. You might have seen her somewhere else so yeah. She's actually my hospital group mate so most of the time, if not always, we're scheduled together and stuff. Gonna miss these guys. Except for UST people though. I guess NOT TOO MUCH because we'll actually get to see each other on Tuesdays and Fridays. ADDITIO...

Manila. A Look Back.

Image
I guess it's been a year or so since we last visited Manila Park/Luneta Park/Rizal Park or whatever. The story was my auntie's friend from Japan, well, sort of my mom's friend as well, wanted photos of the Philippines and stuff so you get it. The thing is, we already sent him photos before and mom actually wanted to take the same pictures and it just didn't make sense to me. ESPECIALLY HE DID SEND MONEY ON THE LATTER REQUEST. Not too much. But whatever. Like, I wouldn't pay for pictures. THANKS, GOOGLE! The clock! Nothing much. Would be so prettier with flowers being there instead of leaves. But anyways. The good thing about being in Manila is that even though it's like, OVEN HOT, there's wind. Which is somehow awesome to kind of neutralize things. So my bestfriend actually followed us because she was I guess, having a drink or two nearby and stuff. In the middle of the day, you ask? YES. That's so her. We were kind of doubting that she wi...

Random Ramblings. Wanderlust.

Image
Can I just say that I really want to travel and see the world first hand? For real. I just hope it'd be soon! I just want to experience life in another country, like, not as a foreigner and stuff but to actually be with its people and kind of learn from them. I just thought that being a foreigner is actually not the best thing to be, because most likely, you'll be treated as one. Unlike if you're a native and stuff, you'll get more. For sure. Culture, language, tradition, and stuff. Countries I want to live to bucket list: South Korea France England United States of America Australia That's all!

LOST. A Look Back.

Image
Can I just share a childhood story? I mean, this sort of thing is not something I can easily forget. Well, it actually happened 16 years ago and I still remember what happened to me. The picture above is not exactly the point of the story but it's kind of the same thing. You'll know why. So... Sixteen years ago, when my dad, mom, and I were shopping for things. Well, it's kind of a marketplace so I'm not so positive if you can actually call that shopping. But anyways. What happened was they left me in front of a pharmacy and there's actually a kiddie ride outside and so they entered the pharmacy, right? I was left playing and riding that kiddie ride outside for a while and my mom actually said that I should stay there and they'll be back to get me.  After a while, I got bored and got worried. Probably got scared too. I tried to remember the path we crossed to get to that market and luckily, I remembered it. I specifically remembered that we passed b...

Be Prepared.

Image
Being prepared is like the best weapon ever. Like, if we're prepared, we just let things happen without being scared. It's like expecting the unexpected and actually having a battle plan. I think. May it be on an emergency situation or by the weather and stuff. If we have all the things we need, then we'll get thru it. And this is not even a post to campaign panic buying and all the shit we might be needing in the future and stuff. But it's always nice to have a plan. Before it's too late. Sort of. If we wish for so many things in life, and they happened altogether, what would we choose first? It's kind of tricky because we may or may not be able to pour our time and enjoy those things. Like if we have to choose just one, how would we stand for the other wishes? I'm not saying that it's bad to wish for everything but let's all be practical and choose wisely. If that's not too much to ask. If none happened, then we may or may not feel...

The Voice Season 3 Favorites. So Far.

Image
I'm actually like watch THE VOICE for some reason. Better than American Idol, better than Got Talent, better than X-Factor. I don't know why too. Actually, we don't have a franchise of The Voice in my country (possessive) but whatever. I don't mind watching on YouTube. My favorite part of The Voice is actually the Blind Auditions. There's just something special about it. It generally shows that VOICE is really powerful that yo get to like it even though you haven't seen the person yet or stuff. RELEVANT. Anyways. In no particular order, I present to you my favorites. SO FAR. I may or may not have more favorites because the Blind Auditions isn't over yet and yeah. Michelle Brooks. She sang Proud Mary and she did it really well. Obviously, I was impressed. Benji did Knockin' on Heaven's Door. I'm actually quite doubtful if I should put him here but after watching it for the third time I guess, I thought it was a brilliant per...

Goodbye Internship I. Sort of.

Image
I can't believe it! 24 HOURS OF DUTY to go before Internship 2. A co-intern posted on Facebook the orientation time for our second hospital already and I'm super excited for that! I can't even. The thing is I'm gonna be in a public hospital next so I can just imagine the toxicity and stuff there. But from our dinner yesterday (092512), a friend of mine said that I'll enjoy my IN there. Because he did. Good thing. I'm seriously gonna miss my co-Interns. And some staffs in my hospital right now. In this picture alone, I'm only gonna be with one person next Internship. Better than none but nonetheless sad. Good times! I'm gonna miss TIN! She's actually from a different university and we've been so close to death so I'm guessing that I'm gonna miss her the most. I really don't fancy goodbyes. But then again, remembering my high school teacher's words, "IT'S NOT GOODBYE, JUST SEE YOU LATER". 

Put some RINGS on it.

Image
Just recently, I actually thought of starting a collection like this. I mean, it's quite fashionable at some point. Just a reminder though, I don't own any of these rings and stuff so yeah. Just saying. I think I might wear like, two at a time. I wear a gold ring my mom gave me and I don't actually remove that so maybe I would wear another from my future collection. I don't know if I actually should collect because they might not end as long as I want them to end and stuff so maybe I shouldn't buy silver stuff or something because they'll eventually rust and stuff so yeah. I might get stuff made of some fancy plastics or whatever like that. But thinking of it, with enough care, I'm thinking these stuff would last. I actually thought of collecting because I just think that these stuff would be great to wear and that you'll actually have a ring ready to match with your outfit of the day or whatever like that. Something to spice up the look...

Food Trip. Pizza!!

Image
So, we did it again. Pizza day everyday. LOL. Today was a lazy day in the laboratory so we decided to have pizza and stuff so yeah. PIZZA is LOVE! We're actually a week away from INTERNSHIP 2 and if I have a list of things to be thankful for, SHAKEY'S BEING DAMN NEAR OUR HOSPITAL WOULD BE ONE OF THEM.  You know what? I must say that I take good iPhone photos now. Like, comparing the picture above and this one that I took. Right? Thanks!  These really went so so fast that after we too the first like, 4 shots, this happened. Although it may seem to you that people neglected the Hawaiian pizza, nah-uh. That one we managed to finish too. My favorite pizza is Casa Bianca Vie by landslide victory. Like, so good! I remember having it before but just because I was too hungry that time, I wasn't able to take note how it tastes like. But this time, confirm! It's as if eating some creamy pizza, in my opinion. So yeah!

Let's Talk Cheer Dance.

Image
Well, being in the UST, it's given that I will support whatever competition or just about whatever UST will be in. Now let's talk about the 2012 Samsung Cheer Dance Competition, shall we? I wasn't exactly pleased by the UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe's performance but they did fairly okay. Quite disappointing, yeah. But...well...I don't know. It's been a while since we won this competition but we aren't the worst that there is. I mean, who gets disappointed by the performance of UE? Get my point? And that's not to bash them or whatever. But you get my point, right? Thanks. So actually, I want to bring back memories by sharing you this post from my previous blog host or whatevs. Oh well. I was actually pretty impressed by their performance 2 years ago but unfortunately, they didn't win. I'm assuming because we weren't the host. But that's just me being bitter so never mind. So 2 years ago, we won 3rd. Last year, I am also prett...

Gone Too Soon. Full story.

Image
I just came home from a wake (092012). It's kind of hard to blog about it really but then I just want to keep track on everything. It's gonna be long, I bet. A friend of mine died. It was like, all of a sudden. It wasn't given a chance to be cured or whatsoever. I guess too late for the operation. But then again...well. The story was that friend of mine was in Medicine and Surgery school like, a week ago. Like, first year. And then another friend of mine tweeted that he dropped. And we were concerned about his slot there and all that. The fees and stuff. Because medicine and surgery is like 100k+ in our uni plus books and everything. But then we thought and said that his health is more important than anything else. So then awhile ago, the same friend called me while I was eating breakfast. She asked me I receive anything from some other friends. When I said no, she finally said it. Said that our friend already died. So I was shocked and all that. And I wasn...

Talking Thursday. DIY.

Image
I believe that if we want to do something, we should prioritize ourselves. I mean, our own feelings, not others. I know that sometimes, our feelings are really dependent on some other things or people but irregardless, we should always put ourselves first. It depends though. I'm not saying that we should all be selfish and stuff. And be self-centered and all that. But when it comes to self improvement, it is just proper to think of ourselves first. To whom do we dedicate our improvements? To ourselves, then others. It's all sort of the same at some point. If we want to improve we should make sure that it's for own benefit first. Then maybe, just maybe, for others too. Awesome right? We sort of improve and a lot of people benefit from it. One example would be when we want to change something about our attitude. If we want to get rid of that, then other will notice, right? But our priority is should not be because others would notice it but because we want fo...

Food Trip. Santorini.

Image
We actually go a lot here. Like, when we have sufficient amount of time to get out of our way and eat some real food. Well, okay okay. Mcdonald's, KFC, and Jollibee are real too. SOMETIMES. LOL. Nah, not really. The thing about this restaurant is it's kind of far from our building. The story is I actually borrowed a book from the library, like, a week plus days ago and I was supposed to return the book last Tuesday because that's the only time I have for uni stuff. And then last Tuesday, I thought I put it in my bag, but NAH. So yeah. Returned to UST yesterday (091912) after I had an exam in the hospital and actually I was from night duty before the exam. But whatever. Sometimes food is more important than sleep. Okay, no sense. If you're planning to visit this restaurant, you just have to take the P.Noval EXIT, locate Mini Stop, and you just have to find the salon. It's beside that salon. Okay. NOT HELPFUL. What I like about this restaurant is y...
