Ups and Downs of Being a Professional

Image
I  can't believe that I would only be talking about this now. It hasn't been that long though but I just think that I somehow have to note this because sooner or later, I will just laugh at this thought because it wouldn't be relevant for quite a while. So the other day, a Chinese family went to the laboratory to have their blood drawn and tested. In our field of work, you can't be assured that it's gonna be your day everyday. I mean, there would be days that you would be able to withdraw blood from all the patients and there would be days when you would feel like a starter all over again. I mean it's just like that.  So back to the Chinese family. The phlebotomist that time missed on drawing blood from the son. Well basically, the family consists of son and parents. He endorsed it to me and though it was quite a challenge, I was able to extract blood from the patient. I gave the syringe back to the co-worker who endorsed the patient to...

Catching Fire Movie Review

Image
Here's a review of the recent Hunger Games. Some ( little bit) spoiler too! So if you're meaning to watch the movie anytime soon, I am giving you time to click away. I don't remember everything from the movie so maybe this is just a review of the highlights and an overall review of what I can remember perhaps. So Katniss and Peeta were on tour because they are victors right? They toured on districts and somehow made their speech. On the first district they went to, I liked the part when Peeta put down his cards and sort of talked to the people by heart. Also, when they showed Rue's family, I just can't help but shed a tear. Katniss and Rue were such great allies. And good friends so yeah. When the peacekeepers killed the man who did the three fingered salute was also a turning point. I mean, the system there is such a mess. Oh here's a thing, I kind of have a thing for touching moments. So that's mostly what I can remember when watching films. By the...

HG Catching Fire Blog post

Image
Hi guys! I watched Hunger Games Catching Fire recently. Actually, awhile ago. And I just want to share what happened before and after the movies so yeah. I  watched it with my sisters because we all watched the first hunger games together as well but not on the big screen. We were so close in not being able to watch the movie due to the unavailability of seats but glad we made it so we must take pictures. LOL.  Mika and Mari In theory, there should be like 24 QQ players but I don't know why there are only 9 in the poster. I actually haven't noticed that because I was only looking at Katniss and Peeta at first so yeah. I wonder why though. My sister Mika told me that maybe, they're like the strongest of the team. Oh maybe. I will go on with the review after this post but I actually don't have much to say about it either. Or maybe I do. Talk about being indecisive. Anways we were dropped off at around 2 pm and the movie will start at 3 ...

2NE1's Missing You Review + Photo Spam

Image
Hello there guys! Okay so first of all let me just say that I wasn't informed about this because lately, I've been really missing out on what's happening in this K-Pop world. But I saw the teasers on my YouTube subscription nonetheless and I was like, wait, what? And then I saw the full music video this day so I thought I'd give it a go and then boom. It was Minzy who kind of opened the song and to be honest, it's kind of neutral. Nothing too exciting about it. No offense to Minzy's fans though. It's probably just the song. Can I just say that Dara is just love in this music video. I don't know if this is her photo shoot or whatever but it seems like it for most part. I did not expect her singing to be sooo great and as for usual, it's somehow AUTO-TUNED and I'm kinda sick of it now but well. Oh well.  Gorge as always! Can I just say though that I'm a little bothered by Bom's Ombre Lips. I just think it doesn...

Transition of Colors

I just noticed that I'm rather so fond of looking at the sky nowadays. It takes my thought out of things. You know! Like a clean state. As a regular worker, I usually have a regular schedule and would go out of work at sunset. I would say I go out of work tired as usual and just seeing the sky above makes me calm down a little bit. Here's what I usually see. I love it! It's like a masterpiece. The rest of the pictures below are random shots that I took because I thought it's beautiful.  I guess it's nice that our house is kind of near the bay so somehow we can have a glimpse of the beautiful things happening there. I can't wait to like go there again and watch the sunset closely but please oh please, clean the water. I mean even if it would be a 10 year process, they should start doing it. I love looking at the sky because it's not always the same. I mean, it's very much like life. There's always something new to appreci...

Thoughts on that Haiyan Article

Image
If I were in the situation of my fellow kababayans who were affected by this super typhoon Yolanda, I wouldn't care if all other people post their non sense. I mean, I will appreciate those who are willing to help via their social sites and appreciate help from those who are willing and aren't affected as much by the strong typhoon but I don't think I would take peoples' selfies or food posts, gadgets, or anything against them. Given they don't do that on purpose of course. Or even if they intended to, I don't think I would care. That's probably the last thing I would do. CARE. Because come on, how can a selfie hurt me more? I don't think I would even open Facebook. Would there be internet connection? It's annoying how people think they know how these people feels. Ugh.  I don't mean to be insensitive but people I think are pretending to be affected by this well in fact they don't. I just know. Like for example, I found this ARTICLE ...

Is J.Co Worth the Hype?

Image
Hello there guys! I am back with yet another food post. And this might interest a lot of Filipinos more than the others. But yeah here it goes. It's my sister's idea to get some J.Cos because apparently, that's what's cool. And this post is dedicated to justify just that. LOL nah.  So we got ours at the second floor of SM North Edsa and we somehow struggled and waited quite a long time to get in front of the line. If you don't know J.Co, they usually have long crazy line of people waiting for their turn to order donuts. And as a commoner, I just can't help but wonder why? I mean, basically, any person would think that their donuts are beyond this Earth delicious and stuff right? That's where the disappointment begins. I haven't tasted any of this right? If you noticed that the second box only have 3 flaves, it's because my sister told me that those are the good flavors. Actually she just told me about two flavors. ...

Japan Goodies

Image
Hey guys! This is kind of a late post for it has been a week since dad arrived from Japan and as you may have guessed already, yes! These are all gone now. And my favourite? Effing KAMABOKO! So good! So good! I like it with cheese though. And some random chocolates. I didn't like the middle chocolate though. The one from Fujiya. It's so greasy and it feels like it's covered in wax or something. So I suggest you eat it unfrozen or uncooled instead. It might work that way! These! <3 I remember when eating these anytime anywhere is a thing. Well, winter time that is. But this is like my favorite fruit next to peachy peach peach. But I probably told you about that already. And these! These though can be bought here in the Philippines already but they're kind of expensive so dad made sure to get us that. I think my fave is well it actually depends but I like the one with liquor. It's just nice. Well that's all for this post just want to...

It's Christmas Soon

Image
And nope this post got nothing to do with Christmas. It's just random ramblings of some sort. Oh before anything elss, HELLO guys! I just thought I would make a little disclaimer there. But anyways. I realize I never really stick to a certain topic regardless.  It's already November and I can't help but really admire the speed of time. Imagine! I have been working for almost 2 months now. It seems like forever already. LOL just kidding. Ugh anyways. I'm almost through with my experience seeking thing here in the Philippines. And so far I'm actually enjoying it and as I've told you before, it's just nice being able to apply all the things I learned in school or internship in to life. Well not to mention it's also dangerous since I'm already putting my name to all the things I've done and will be doing in the future. The way I would like to address it is this. Even doctors make mistakes. Now I'm really kidding. No room for mist...

French Baker's Macarons Review

Image
I have told you before that I was a little bit disappointed on Macarons that I have so far tasted. Well actually, I have only tasted one and not impressive at all. And I was like, I'm not gonna give up on these colorful babies and would give it another try. Here's my verdict for the second attempt. I got these Macarons from another familiar bakery in town. French Bakery. I have mixed feelings about this store actually. I mean, it's just that I don't really like breads all that much and the one I've tasted from this store didn't really impress me all that much so yeah. And the reviews I've seen listed Tous Les Jours' macarons above this one so I was like, there can't be anything worse than that! LOL. Just kidding. But really though thinking about it now, their macarons were pretty bad.  You know me! These details just made me wanna cry! LOL. But I must say that their illustration is very well made. Love! I hope to live on tha...
