It's Agosto, everyone. Time flies when you're having fun. Meh time flies in general and there's nothing I can do about it really so I think I just have to do what I have to do while I'm at it. I have nothing much stored this month actually. It's been very busy at work last month so whatever free time I may get, I want to use for rest/sleep/netflix. Also, I kinda want to go to Tokyo alone like I always did. I just confused myself there haha anyways.  Also, this is my new lock screen. It means ONE DAY AT A TIME in French. I think this is relevant considering we're halfway through with this year and I can't even recall what year we're in. I'm stuck at 2011, I guess? It's where I messed everything up so yeah. I don't like the weather all that much. It's messed up like my mind. This time last year, I didn't expect I'd go through the same thing again this year. Even worst this time, darling. But hey, just like the days, I must keep movi...

One time, I was paired with someone my age. I don't know what happened but then all of a sudden, we were talking about family. Her family in particular.  She's Vietnamese. And her mother is in England. Fairly good spirited, always laughing with her friends, and it doesn't seem like she's having this kind of problem. Anyways. As we were talking about life, she said that she doesn't feel any connection to her mom at all. She said that if it weren't for Skype, she wouldn't even know how her mom looks like. Her mom left Vietnam to work in England as a nurse. Also, she said that when her mom came back to Vietnam for a short vacation, she wasn't able to meet her because she's in Japan. And for some reason, she was okay with it.  I was like so sad for her that time and just confronted her with, "can't really do anything about it". And she agreed. As much as I know deep in my heart that her mom only did it for her family's welfare, I so muc...

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...

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...

One thing I have learned in this life is to trust no bish. Trust only your family and probably five of your closest friends. Or maybe four depending on how many people you have been with and friends with since you were like 4. The rest of your friends you can trust but do not trust them with your life. Because at some point, you will be betrayed. It's a sad thing to live by but that's just reality and believe me, as much as it's a sad idea to live by, it will save you from a lot of heartaches in the future. At work, I only trust one person, and she entered there the same day as I did. I just think that we kind of think the same. Maybe because of our close age range, maybe because of our same educational attainment, or maybe other thing. But the point is, we kind of think the same. So yeah. The others wouldn't probably know that I don't trust them still any time soon but yeah, I somehow just don't yet. Hopefully they don't trust me as well so it would be...

I just don't know how to stress this enough but I really think that it all starts from within. I mean, we should always start with ourselves first before we become relevant to others. And this happened.. The other day, a senior-senior staff kind of randomly said that we should love ourselves first before we could serve. And this is in line with when I kind of opened up to her that in our first in, we were not allowed to extract blood as much as we are free to do so in our second in and that's how the conversation started. She asked why the chief med tech in that laboratory (which I assume is her friend 'coz she mentioned the name even if I didn't tell) so scared. Like, so what if someone got pricked or whatever? Not everyone would get pricked. It's not the same for everyone. And she said that if we'll be going thru the same thing, we should recover from it. Prove that we're not all about that. Or we'll be known as the one who failed forev...

Make it happen! I guess One Direction clearly made their point when they said that we should live while we're young. Because you know, people just live as if they're just waiting for their old friend death. It shouldn't be like that. It's like wasting time and not enjoying the privilege given to us. So while we're young, why not try to take advantage of the things we can still do while we're on it? Or even though those who are not so young anymore. And I don't mean doing crazy things that aren't good for the health. Nothing like drugs, and stuff. Probably something like skydiving, cliff jumping, wake boarding, walking a long path, travelling, and all that good stuff. It's fun. Like, let's try to appreciate what we can still do and what we still have. You know what they say, enjoy it while it lasts. Or maybe something we want to do but afraid of doing it, maybe there's no perfect timing for that. Maybe we are to make the perfec...

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...

I actually had this picture or typography or whatever you call it for a while. Because I actually thought of blogging about it before but then thought twice and didn't do it. I don't know why though. Lack of idea perhaps? But then I do what I want and I write things even if I don't have the whole story sometimes. Like, I tell what I have to tell base on what I know. Now when I reviewed all the pictures in my phone, I actually saw this thing again after quite a while. And it actually hit me. Not that hard. But nevertheless hard. I'm actually 20 years old now. So, yeah. I actually told you before that I want internship to end as much as possible and stuff but now that I'm thinking of it, I'll be 21 by then and I don't want a year to pass just like that. Because wishing for internship to end means I want a year done without actually looking forward to things that might happen while I'm on it. It's pretty sad don't you think? So I...
