Who's Hungry? Hunger Games.

Image
I actually don't quite get the whole idea of Hunger Games but good thing I was able to pick up some valuable lessons that I thought I'd share with you guys. I haven't read the books so this one is based on the movie alone. Can I just say that Effie Trinket is my favorite character. If not Rue. I like how colorful she dresses and I don't know what's with her that I like but yeah. Now the reason I like Rue is because she's such a sweetheart. If I would be there in the game, I may not be able to kill my opponents intentionally but I don't think I would help them either. I would probably be friends with the guy from my district but the rule is that there could only be one victor so I don't know about that either. I HAVE TO WIN! My sister's dilemma: Why is Prim's hair lighter? (NO IDEA) Okay to the lessons. I was touched when Katniss volunteered to be a tribute as her sister's replacement. Just because it's such a stupid game...

Keep Calm

This is kind of personal but since this is my personal blog, I want this story to be here. I probably won't forget this but...just in case. So my grandmother went to the laboratory to have her blood chemistry and blood count checked and the results are not very pleasing. Health wise. My grandmother is 64 years old and suffering from a renal disease. I remember she had a renal angiogram and angioplasty probably 10 years ago. But then that was good for a while and now doctors are telling her that her kidneys are barely functioning and that she is a candidate for dialysis and we all know it's never easy. You know that I am reviewing for the MTLEX that I would be taking this September and just a quick note, I actually reviewed my URINALYSIS AND OTHER BODY FLUIDS or what you might know as Clinical Microscopy first because I want to understand my grandmother's condition even more.  So then my grandmother asked me to go with her to her nephrologist and we kin...

Today's Just Shocking

Image
Our pet MOCHA gave birth and we didn't even know that she was pregnant. My sisters and I argued about this before well not really argued but they said and guessed that Mocha's preggy because her belly is just so big. I kind of thought she was but I was battling because I can't be so sure and one thing about Mocha is she's fat so it's really hard to tell. So awhile ago, while watching my morning show, my youngest sister called me and said she's hearing some crying under the bed and asked me to get a flash light for us to see. I then got my phone, turned the camera on video mode, with flash. To my surprise, there are two puppies near Mocha and the floor is just bloody and it smells bloody. It's a mess in short. When I checked on the puppies, one's alive (puppy #1) and the other one's dead (puppy #2).   TERRACE So I got the birth/bath tub, put Mocha and the puppy in and then we carried the birth tub or the baby bath tub upstairs because we thoug...

Cheap Doesn't Equal Value

Image
Nothing really special about the packaging. Not nice or anything. It's simply boring. But you can't really complain much because it's cheap so yeah. The brand is ELLEFAR  and I got the colors Elegant Mauve and Clear Coral. If you don't speak colors, it's pretty much hot pink and orange. Yay!  To open the lid of the lipstick, you have to remove the plastic covering it so the only thing you could hold on to is the label below the lipstick like the picture above. The swatch of "Clear Coral" is kind of longer because I didn't expect it to be that pigmented so I kind of recklessly drew a line so yeah. They go on very smooth actually. I was a little bit surprised too when I applied it. I am pretty impressed with how vibrant the colors are. As you can see in the photo though, since I have dry skin, it basically followed the texture of my skin so if you're gonna apply this on your lips, you better have exfoliated, smooth lips.  ...

The Voice UK Season 2. Yeah?

Image
So I am a little broken hearted because The Voice US's YouTube is limited to their countrymen and it's not available in my country so I didn't mind disregarding that shiz. Well, as much as I think Shakira's presence is such a lovely twist, and as much as I love Adam, well I think now is the perfect time and I would just appeal to whoever to please make it available outside your country please. Or not. Whatever. I hope The Voice Philippines (soon) and The Voice Japan (is there any?) wouldn't make its videos available to your country too! Just kidding. :))  The Voice UK Coaches On other news, I think after watching The Script's Manchester Concert on YouTube, The Voice UK series 2 Episode 1 presented itself to me. The wand chooses the wizard, right? Okay. And so I watched it. What else? Not from their official YouTube though. I can't be so sure whether BBC made it available or what. Anyways, it doesn't matter. I have so far watched all the episodes ...

Let's Talk Beauty

Image
I actually and honestly think I have nice eyes. That's all I could brag about anyways. LOL just kidding.  I watched a short documentary about something alarming, shocking, and amazing all at the same time. The story is that they hired a forensic sketch artist from the FBI and what they did was that individually, they asked this women to have a somehow private session with this artist and then this artist asked these women to describe themselves physically and stuff and then he sketched them accordingly. Then they have few people there that are not related to the women and assigned them to a particular woman and they were asked to get to know each other a little better and all that. And then the apprentices were then asked individually on how they would describe their partners. Now, I don't know if the apprentices were just really kind and gentle (I bet not) about bringing out the flaws of their partners but you know, their description for me is actually more accurate t...

Fallin' to Pieces

If you don't know Janine Tugonon, that's her picture above I got from Yahoo. And if you don't know what happened to her, I would just link it here. THE ARTICLE I WAS TALKING ABOUT.   I am a fan of The Script if you don't know already and Janine is somehow affiliated with my very dear friend, Erika because they were like in the search for Ms. and Mr. Pharmacy thingy together way back 2009. Probably. Gorge friend in yellow So what happened was Janine broke up with her boyfriend because of "DANNY of The Script". Actually, I don't think it's because of Danny alone. Her boyfriend tweeted so. Her boyfriend was right though that if she's not interested, then she wouldn't be interested in contacting Danny as he wish so yeah. SO SHE'S INTERESTED.  My sisters really freaked out when they knew about this and my youngest sister was actually the one who told me this because I wasn't able to watch KrisTV's episode on that so whatev...

Son of a B. Literally.

Image
Early morning, not so long ago, I went out to check on our doggies and just when I was about to step in my flip flops, I saw this. And I was like, not panicking and asked my grandma who did it. And she said SHIKI.  Well ,of course! Who else? This thing I only wear when I'm going not so far from our house but it was a gift to me by my auntie so it's kind of important to me as well so I was really surprised. What did I do, you ask? I picked up the damaged one and taught SHIKI a lesson. PETA, your argument is invalid. LOLJK. He probably expected me to punish him so here's what he did.  He started acting weird when I shouted his name. This literally made me laugh because he entered his cage when he was still a baby. He was too huge for the cage. You know, I trained SHIKI (obviously failed) before not to touch shoes, slippers, and stuff. And when I was still an intern, he was actually very well behaved and didn't touch my black shoes so I dunno.  Also,...

Not 1 but 2

Today I want to review two music videos because you know, I like doing that stuff. The two music videos I want to review are Demi Lovato's Heart Attack and Psy's Gentleman. With Heart Attack, I actually saw some dramatic photos on Tumblr and as much as I do not care that much, I was curious . So yesterday, I decided to watch it. I genuinely like the song. The music video is nothing special though. I actually thought that it would be very much like Lady Gaga's Bad Romance but nothing like that. The opening and closing part was kind of vague but nonetheless interesting. Can I just say that Demi looks so beautiful here. I don't know if it's just me but I think there's something different on her face. I just can't pin point it. Anyways. She's really pretty there. Okay next. I didn't want to review this originally but Ryan Higa made me do it. He actually did a reaction video on his YouTube channel and I recommend you check it. Excep...

Why English is Important. Random Ramblings.

Image
They say that if you can speak the English language, you're cool, intelligent, probably well educated, or maybe rich, or whatever. That's what they say. At least in the Philippines. NOT MY OPINION. I mean, it's kind of common now and I don't know what these people think. Anyways. I really appreciate the language because if I can't speak and understand English, well, we wouldn't be talking like this right now wouldn't we? And I probably wouldn't be able to watch HOUSE which is my favorite T.V. series by the way. I am not saying that I am the BEST ENGLISH speaker or writer or whatever (not even close) because you know, I don't know if you noticed but I can't really keep my tenses consistent so leave it alone.  I actually didn't want to do this at first but dad made me do it. Here's why. While my sister and I were watching Big Mommas: Like Father Like Son and then dad asked us if we can understand everything they're saying in t...

Weird/Bored

I took a nap awhile ago and I dreamt of something weird. Unless my dreams are weird, I wouldn't actually remember it so thank goodness my dreams are weird most of the time. If not always. What happened was this. My sisters and I were watching an animated film. I don't know if it's TANGLED OR BRAVE but one of those. And then a group of young teens from the UK who were also watching and for some reason, making noise. Now, I'm not really sure how I knew they're from UK but I'm pretty sure with that. They're probably ONE DIRECTION. But that I'm not sure of. So then my sisters and I left the movie house because the noise was just something we can't handle anymore. We hopped in the car (white) and then I actually remember it very well that my youngest sister hopped in as well and so whatever, right? In the middle of the teip, I was discussing with my mom how I only have one month left to wander around JAPAN and so on. Okay so when we were near our des...

Dr. Ted Grey is LOVE

If all PATHOLOGISTS look like this, GURL! Haha so just a little back story, I think I was first year in college when this movie came out and we were at the mall, right? I saw the showing date and then we intended to watch it (of course) and then we couldn't make it on the first day so we just decided to come back the other day but then when we returned, they're not showing it na. WHUT? Anyways, I illegally downloaded the movie and watched it just now and what can I say? Kind of weird for a game, you know. Basically they have to kill people but not just to kill! They have to do it in such a way that no one would know how exactly they did it. It's sort of a game that them resident pathologists play. And I'm kind of proud that I got one out of so many. I'm not PATHO (yet, perhaps). So yeah. I wouldn't go into detail but I am very impressed with the ending.  I actually witnessed doctors play games probably twice. Not this kind of games where they kill people...

My Cup of Tea

Image
I don't know what's up with this girl trying to sit in a different place and leaving us behind. Seriously, B? Seriously?  So we took a photo without her. Hahaha Actually since we went there kind of early, they've just turned on the AC so my sister decided to position herself near the AC unit for her own good. Meanwhile, since it's actually quite bearable, my  other sister and I stayed on the couch. I got their Blueberry Cheesecake and my sisters got Mango Cheesecake and yeah. Actually, I actually ordered Strawberry but whatever. I order Blueberry almost every time when I was still a Medical Technology Intern so I just thought I'd try the Strawberry. But anyways. Now, I actually don't know if they really used to look like this because in the laboratory, I really have no time to look at its appearance before sipping it or whatever but yeah. It looks quite unappetizing but it\s actually good. Also, the thingy inside looks more like a ...

Train of Thought. Random Ramblings.

As I consider my blog as a PENSIEVE, I have to let things out of my too stretched brain because it can't handle things anymore. It's SUMMER BREAK and I am bored as hell. So I decided to add up BLOGS to my reading list. And I am still searching for blogs by the way so if you know a blog that you think I might enjoy reading, feel free to recommend or something. Actually, I did search for blogs myself but I didn't really find that much. Sure there are a lot of blogs out there but I found out (just now) that I'm not really that much of a fan of BEAUTY BLOGS. And by beauty, I mean, PURE BEAUTY BLOGS. I know it's not my business but I don't know. I'm not hating of course. But personally (good for me, I know) in the future, I'd rather look at the places I've been or the things I've done than to look at how made up I was or something. Oh well. I say a little bit of everything is nice. You gotta believe me though! I was probably just in a wrong place...

The Graduation Speech that I Never Did

Image
Me MOM I've never been THAT super smart so I haven't experienced speaking in front of many people. Well, graduation wise. Because you know the deal! The smartest of the smartest would always speak in behalf of the graduates. Sometimes even though I don't agree with their words, I can't do anything about it. It's not like they passed on the paper that contains the script and let everyone proofread it or something. But anyways. I guess it's just more appropriate to speak for themselves rather than for everyone. I don't have a problem with that though. :)) NOT MAD.  Me? I just want to thank my mom for always being there for me. She may have said a lot of hurtful things to me but I'm sure she didn't mean any of those. And I forgive her for that. I owe her a lot. A whole lot. I also want to thank my sisters for always believing in me. My abilities and all that. I know I have said this before but I hope you guys would be able to do it an...
