Tea Time with Cathy and Mikie

Image
I truly believe this should be a legit segment on my blog. But sometimes, I get disappointed by teas so I don't get inspired to continue with that kind of posts but now, I think that no matter how much I loathe (big word) the teas that I've tried, I must share it with you. That's all! Let's go!! Okay this one we tried because we don't have a choice. I guess we just wanted to have a tea and somehow rest our feet from our tiring UST trip . So that happened. Anyways. I kind of regret we didn't drink at ChaTime because wala lang. Anyways.  I actually didn't enjoy the tea but the taste is actually interesting. I actually  don't remember it's exact flavor but if I can remember it right, it's something like green tea yogurt. Or some macha yogurt. Okay I've checked it now. It's Yogurt Green Tea. I kind of regret picking that flavor because firstly, I wasn't able to taste the green tea. Secondly, I wasn't able to ...

The Voice UK Season 2 Winner

Image
If you're not yet aware, let me be the one to break it to you. Andrea Begley is the winner of the voice. And for some reason, even though I don't ship her, and I really didn't think she would win this competition, I'm quite happy she won. Weird. She's actually good but I genuinely think Leah is way better. But I guess the UK believed in her more so hopefully they would support her and make her big even after the competition. I think Leah, Mike, and Karl would be big and I think it's just gonna be a matter of time until I would be able to hear something from them. Which I am actually excited about! So yay!  Instead of actually reviewing, I watched the final episode of The Voice because I can't help it and I wouldn't be able to concentrate anyways (excuses). Okay this is actually what happened. I was searching when The Voice Finals would be and I opened Wikipedia and then I saw that Andrea already won and I was like, how the heck that happened? (no...

Memory Corner | Flashback Friday 3

Image
1. I wouldn't forget this because this is like taken during our first day in our second internship. I am with my good friend which I was with during the first internship as well. What happened is that our first post (hematology) is kind of being renovated that very time so our head staff is busy directing his people on where to place things so he explained that he can't orient us that day and we actually had to stay outside while the rest of our co-interns were being oriented on their respective posts so we  just took pictures of ourselves and yeah these are the outcome. 2. This is a friend's photo that I grabbed moments before our retreat and we  (thesis leader and I) weren't actually supposed to be in the frame but that happened. Basically, this very day, we were supposed to present the first part of our thesis but then again, I think 4/5 of our members are actually going out for retreat so the leader and I had to come up with good vibes scenarios and that we ...

Wrath of Hell

Image
I always liked the rain. But in times like this, it can get really annoying. Yesterday, I went to probably the most craziest journey on my own. So our class ended at like 7:10 pm or longer instead of 7:00 pm because our instructor told us to stay and that we could take advantage of the time and continue on with the topic instead of just waiting downstairs and wait for the rain to stop and doing nothing. So yeah. Anyways, I went to the place where I usually ride, right? Then after probably 30 minutes of waiting in the rain, I finally thought I would just take a different route and would just walk to the train station (not very far anyways) but VERY DANGEROUS! Imma tell you something at the end. So when I reached the Train Station, the lines are mega  long and worst is since there are what look like 3 lines, there are quite a lot of people who got in earlier than those who actually fell in line. Nakakahiya naman sa kanila. So can I just say that setting that aside, I'm quite prou...

The Voice PH | Constructive Criticism

Image
Aloha guys! Watched The Voice Philippines and can I just say something? I don't know what's going on with this thing yet. Well the stage kind of looks different but I'm thinking it's probably because of bad editing (maybe) or maybe the camera is awkwardly positioned and stuff but then again, at the end of the day, it all goes down to talent. Which kind of confuse me. I think the Blind Auditions went a little bit too fast. I don't know but I feel like they're all in a rush that sometimes I don't understand what they're saying and stuff. I suggest there should be a subtitle so that it's gonna be easier to follow. Like THE VOICE UK. Also, as a self proclaim fan of the franchise, I suggest that the sound when somebody pushed the button should be louder so that people would somehow recognize it more when someone turned because for example! My mom is just clueless what's happening all the time. I have to explain to her what's happening like ...

Pets and Sunset

Image
Hi guys! I've told you here  that the resort we went to on my mum's birthday allow pets to actually go in so we did bring two of our dogs with us. They were such a delight and made the experience kind of different than the usual. In a fun way. DE HASHI!  Can I just make kwento a little bit? I didn't document it but Hashi bathed in the bay! Like, she hates shower so we were kind of hesitant if she would go in and the deal is we wouldn't force her to go in but then when we reach the shore or whatever, she went in the water by herself and swimming like a national team swimmer there. We're all looking like her like a proud momma. Except my mum who thought that Hashi would die right away. But it's all good now! MOCHA IS LOVE Mocha also bathed but when she came in the room with dad, she was covered with sand particles so mum wasn't happy about that but I bet Mocha really enjoyed that experience as well. Too bad we didn't able to witness it th...

I Will Survive

Image
I just had a sudden realization. And as always, I want to share it with you.  Because of review, I feel like I always don't have energy left when I reach home. I feel like I would literally burst sometimes. But what keeps me going is that people, actually, a lot of people were able to survive this phase. And if they were able to, there's no reason why I can't. You know, I noticed that whenever I feel down or something, I always think that I'm at my worst. I would always make a big deal out of it. Anyways. The fact is things will never be constantly okay. When I already pass this licensure exam (think positive), what will be my next problem? It's impossible not to have one. Thinking about it, what's the problem of people who have already passed the board exam? I wonder. Because as of this moment, I can't think of a problem bigger than mine. But that's just me.  Okay enough of that. You know what they say, the board exam is a test of...

Mama's Birthday Celebration

Image
Hi guys! I just want to share what happened to my mum's birthday. Okay so my mum's birthday is on the 8th of June and we went to Bataan to celebrate. I have only been to Bataan twice, I guess. The first was when we went to Montemar and then the later is what I'm gonna tell you know.  Can I just say that I feel kind of free being able to join events nowadays. Although I must admit that I actually skipped a day in my review class but I'm gonna make up for it! I'll do my best to cope up. Okay enough of that. Okay so let's get into it! :) I must give you a little warning though. This post is bombarded with pictures so yeah. The resort that we went to is called Bataan White Corals. What separates them from other resorts is that they allow pets inside the resort so upon hearing this, mum decided to bring with us two of our beloved pets. Hashi and her mum Mocha. Can I just say that it's no easy job bringing pets. Especially when we were in the car. Mo...

Ship in the Bottle

Image
source Okay so this is like a story I really have to share with you guys. I've told you guys that I have started reviewing for my board exam already, yeah? And let me just tell you about this. The first day was so freaking exhausting! Imagine! We only had an hour break from 8 am - 7 pm. Non stop! Information overload! But I'm not gonna tell you guys more boring stuff than I already did. Okay so this is what happened. Our lunch schedule is supposed to be at 12, right? But then our instructor asked our permission to extend her lesson up to 12:30 so that she wouldn't cut it halfway because that would lead to poorer retention and stuff, right? She also told us that her decision is final so we don't really get to choose. LOL.  source Okay so an unknown guy kind of knocked, I guess? And then the instructor asked if he's like looking for someone and so after they talked, the instructor told the guy to go to the office instead because for eff's sake, we...

Getting Touristy at UST

Image
If you have been with me for some time, you may have known that I am from The University of Santo Tomas which I'm really proud of by the way and I can't imagine myself being an alumni of a different institution. I don't mean to offend any schools of course. It's just a matter of preference. So last week, I went back to check and to run some errands that I would be needing for the board exam application and shiz like that but mostly to check and take some pictures and stuff like that. Well of course! Actually, I wasn't able to accomplish paper works because of stuff so I'll definitely come back for that soon. IN FRONT OF THE MAIN BUILDING NOT THE CHURCH I'm pretty sure I have a picture the same as this but I don't know. Just kidding! I'm not sure. Never sure on anything these past few days, eh? So I kind of already saw the things (major letterings) I am about to show you guys below but only in pictures so when I saw it in person, I was like, e...
