Whoa! Not Too Fast!

Image
This is really relevant. But it's still a mind boggling relevance that we are talking about here. Like at some point, a part of me wants to hang out here still whilst a part of me wants to fly to Japan already. But I'm kind of scared to be honest. When they say that college is your training ground, they weren't kidding. So I feel like I'm somehow safer here than what will my fate be in Japan. But then you create your own fate.  Anyway I found this typo on a most relevant situation ever. I was doing a hepatitis profile and if you don't have an idea what that is, it measures titers and stuff to know whether someone's reactive or not and stuff and for most part, it's not really a hassle. Well except for times when the controls are not cooperating and that stuff. Anyways since we are operating a "almost all manual" laboratory, I have to do it all together, right? Well that should actually really be the case until two of the tests' control ...

Harry Potter Love | Sirius Black.

Image
If you don't know already, I am obsessed with Harry Potter. J.K. should probably make things up to keep us all entertained! :) Okay so I found this on Tumblr and I was amazed. Awesome stuff! :) It's called Hogwarts Houses and Landscapes for the obvious reason so I won't be discussing that anymore.        The friend that re-blogged this photo is actually a Ravenclaw so I would like to give credit to her by posting her house first! :) Awesome! I know a Hufflepuff as well and she's like the queen of the martys if you ask me. I was actually supposed to blog about her stupid journey but I guess I should just shut my mouth and keep things to myself but then my silence doesn't mean that I would just forget the story. I will tell you guys some other time.         Now to my Slytherin friends, can I just say that I miss you guys! That's actually my best friend and my cousin. Hang out soon.  And lastly, Gryffindor! ...

A Little Bit of Work Won't Hurt

Image
Hello guys! I want to show you guys my work place and who I work with because you know, this is a part of me and I want to share? LOL.  All pictures with actual people are not mine but with me in it but I have to give credit to my co-worker for these pictures.  The lab pictures are mine. Anyways.  Just feeling artsy by adding filters which in my opinion turned the pictures kinda nicer than they actually are. Mmmm... Picture above is the Chemistry section which I may or may not like because sometimes I think that for some reason, it does't like me as well so whatever right? Oh can I just say that this is my first post assignment so it will always have a spot in my <3 joke! Haha Picture above is with the rad techs that thaught me a good amount of life lessons already. So thank you guys. I mean they are always goofy and joking but when it comes to real talk, they don't mess around! You know, I will miss these guys. I know I...

Donated a Gallon of Blood!

Image
Recently, I really wanted to donate blood and so I did. And also! Since I have been telling my  cousin about this blood donation thing and since she seems intrigued, I asked her to tag along as well and so we allotted January as the time we would donate. I tried to contact the Red Cross near us and asked and like after so many answers like "we don't have a physician that day", "we don't bleed without a doctor", and "there's no scheduled bleeding that day" we got something like "there's a blood letting happening at Victory Mall" and so yeah we grabbed the opportunity. So the following day, after duty, cousin fetched me off work and we hurried to that mall. And hooray! Oh can I just say that I'm so proud of my cousin! I hope she would continuously donate blood even when I'm out of the country already. It's just a wonderful feeling to donate. It's self fulfilling.  Yes!! Like, I'm so happ...

Keeping Up w/ My Resolutions!

Image
Hola guys I just want to check in with you regarding my resolutions. Not that you care or something but you know I just want to share anyway. I have shared with you my resolutions not so long ago and I hate to break the news for us all but it's not happening.  Like, for the record, I have been late for I think 4 times out of 14 now. But the good news is none of those lates exceeded  2 minutes past my actual call time but nevertheless late. I'll try my best not to be late from now on. Here we go again! Another promise to myself that I know I will unintentionally break. Or is it unintentional when I just am too lazy to function every morning?  No emergency. Just lazy. Verdict? The water thing kind of failed too. It just proves my point that I'm not really a water person. Like sometimes I would drink too much when I remember but when times like I don't feel like it, I won't. I need motivation! I should buy myself a beautiful tumbler and put some le...

Frozen is Lurve

Image
Have you guys seen the movie Frozen? I highly recommend you watch it! It's really good!! I mean, if I would describe my life in one movie, this would be it. I'm nowhere queen or any of that stuff but you know I think it resembles my life at some point. If you haven't seen it yet, it's something you would appreciate watching with your sister/s or sibling/s for that matter. Or like your daughters. Because finally! It teaches young girls that they should be aware that before anyone, family comes first. This is why I liked the movie Brave as well. I liked it because it's about family. And not about Princes. Don't get me wrong though because I love princes as well but they're just not my favorite.  I really liked Anna. She's way too gullible but her personality is actually like my sister Mika. Although Anna is not someone I associate myself with a lot. I know I play the Elsa in my family but you know, I think I'm not as cold as her at...

Kissful Lip Tint Choux

Image
Ciao bellas! I would like to share with you a review of my recently bought lip stains from Etude House! I have searched  online for affordable lip stains and I bumped across this product so I thought hey. Can we just discuss how girly their bag looks. Likey! Anyway I am an avid fan of Korean cosmetics and I will always believe in their power to create and manipulate beauty. Like, they're just so good at it. So I did not hesitate to buy despite it not having much reviews online. Although I did search and thought of buying some other cheap products that have mixed reviews. But I will try to get to that soon. Anyways they do have a lot of lip tints there but I went for the cheapest stuff because I'm broke. LOL. I spent a little over 250 pesos each. I'm really so excited to wear this on a regular basis but I don't know if I really like it. I like it because it's cheap. Let's just put it out there!  I bought their Kissful T...

If I could, I would.

Image
I would be lying if I say that I haven't thought of this before. Because I did. Well, let's say a couple of times now. Feeding program is what I always thought of but I kind of debated and left that alone. Because what will happen after the program? I don't think a malnourished individual will be okay after a meal. Anyways, I would really love to that still. I think sharing food with the community is great.   But really, what is it that I can give to the Philippines? As much as love, hope, and respect sound nice, Thesis told me not to choose a study that is not achievable at a certain period of time.  As a Medical Technologist, I have always known the importance of health. And how it can take away someone's life faster than a snap of a finger. So I trace back when it all went wrong for most of them. The first line of defense. Immunity. And yes, as lonely as it may sound, most people disregard that. So if given a chance, I would like to give what I would...

Starting the New Year Right

Image
Hi guys I thought I would share some pictures from our bay side walk sort of. These are pictures from January 1st before we watched Pagpag Siyam na Buhay nearby so yeah. It's just that we were early for the opening of the mall because we had to attend a mass and so yeah we decided to hang out a little bit. My grandma wanted a picture and here it is. It's so kind of rare of her to ask to take a picture of her so I thought this needs to be on the blog. lola rocks! :) My lola didn't want to watch Pagpag so she went home with mom after this short trip here. Good idea because we really had to commute our way home. And I think it would be a hassle for her because you know. Mika, I, and cousin my face though My cousin told me it would be nice if we wouldn't look at the camera and even though I thought it's none sense, we still took the shot. You know, let me just share about my thoughts on that. If it's a legit candid shot and it...

Pagpag | Movie Review

Image
I watched the movie with my sister and cousin and surprisingly, I really enjoyed it. I definitely liked it better than Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy.  The movie is less predictable and it was kind of scary actually. Thrilling. Kind of. I don't recall the sequence of events but it's a well constructed story frame and you'll get the story either way. Or at least I did. It was kind of kilig as well. I mean, as much as I don't ship these two lovely kids, I think they actually look good together.  Before the story was shown, they have said in their interviews that this movie is a complete package movie of some sort and I approve. It's kind of funny, kind of scary, and kind of a dramatic movie. So it's a 'kind of' movie. Not all out but still. Just in case you're curious, I will list down all the things that you 'have' to avoid when you're in a wake. AKA biggest spoiler ever. 1. Do not wear a red dress or else you would se...

Wishing vs. Resolving | My New Year's Resolutions

Image
Awhile ago, my family and I attended a service and the homily really caught my attention. It's basically about New Year's Resolutions. Even though a lot of people ave up on the idea of making a list already, the priest said that it's still better to set goals every January 1st so we won't be out of track and stuff. I personally didn't make it a habit making one and I don't know, sometimes I can't be bother with stuff. Anyways.   He said the problem with New Year's resolutions is that it seems like we're confusing it with WISH. I think it's the same as confusing a goal to a wish. Come to think of it. Wish is wanting something to happen whereas a goal is more specific. Goal is a way to somehow bridge the gap of that wish and making it happen. For example! Many people would say "I WANT TO BE HAPPY!" and that's just proper but how would you do that? In making a resolution, then wanting to be happy wouldn't resolve anythin...

Giving Thanks to 2013

Image
Twenty thirteen have been a big blessing for me. For real. I just want to start the year by looking back at the things I have accomplished sort of last year. Literally. LOL. January - Even though I didn't celebrate it, my Blog turned 1 this month. Yay for me!  February - I turned 21 years old and these two lovely people surprised me with their little hidden agenda and it was a fun day at the hospital. Also celebrated it at home but I can't remember much from it. This also marked the end of my internship which was so educational and sometimes emotional but whatever LOL.    March- First week of March ended our sufferings. I'm talking about  Thesis. It was such a good learning experience though. And then university life ended unofficially and this month was the last time I was ever called a student. Quite emotional.  April - I graduated from the University of Santo Tomas and I couldn't be any happier to be able to be call...
