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...

1st, I have to say that this really pissed me off yesterday. Well I have been pissed off more than yesterday but let's just forget those right now. Okay so I am in Cavite right now but yesterday, on my way here, this is what happened. We actually don't go by car whenever we go to Cavite so we have to experience the busy streets of Baclaran to go to another terminal and so yeah. Okay so my cousin told me or asked me to go to church with her on Sunday since that's time we're returning to Manila so yeah. I then agreed because I haven't really been there and I also wanted to check the place out and somehow say my prayers and so yeah.  So we were walking, right? I never liked Baclaran because it's so crowded and not to mention, dangerous. So I would like to walk as fast I can. And then I don't know what happened but I was walking kind of slower and then someone stopped me and he introduced himself as brother something. And I already told him I...

It seems like impossible but you'll get over it. At some point, after giving it your all for the longest time, you'll get tired of struggling to get someone or someone back or whatnot. But the good news is, you'll realize that one day, you're just wasting your time over that someone who doesn't even give a dang or dang anymore. It may seem unfair that they don't give us their time and stuff but thinking about it, we're actually being unfair mostly to ourselves for denying ourselves the happiness and the freedom to enjoy life. But that's another story. At some point in your life, you will feel alone. THAT'S PROBABLY TRUE. But that doesn't mean you are! You just have to re-establish your thinking. Like, don't think that you'll be with that person you want to be with and you'll notice that there are a lot more out there. I'm not saying that you should get them all and stuff but the point is, stop trying to get someon...

We should always be thankful to them people who hurt us and stuff because at the end of the day, there shouldn't be regrets and all that craziness, right? Just lessons learned. Have a wonderful rainy day. And that's if you're from the Philippines. If not, have a nice day anyways.

It's really very sad going to a new hospital and actually starting all over again. It was our first day of orientation and so far, not so clear. We had our general lecture about everything in the morning and laboratory exposure in the afternoon. My first post is hematology and unfortunately, the machines to be used there are kind of off so we had to actually stay outside and waited for the maintenance people to finish doing their thing. After one hour and whatever minutes, it can't be helped so our post head med tech called us and gave us our schedule and told us to just come back on our actually duty and he will orient us there. That's what happened today. And I thought.

Can I just say that I really want to travel and see the world first hand? For real. I just hope it'd be soon! I just want to experience life in another country, like, not as a foreigner and stuff but to actually be with its people and kind of learn from them. I just thought that being a foreigner is actually not the best thing to be, because most likely, you'll be treated as one. Unlike if you're a native and stuff, you'll get more. For sure. Culture, language, tradition, and stuff. Countries I want to live to bucket list: South Korea France England United States of America Australia That's all!

Being prepared is like the best weapon ever. Like, if we're prepared, we just let things happen without being scared. It's like expecting the unexpected and actually having a battle plan. I think. May it be on an emergency situation or by the weather and stuff. If we have all the things we need, then we'll get thru it. And this is not even a post to campaign panic buying and all the shit we might be needing in the future and stuff. But it's always nice to have a plan. Before it's too late. Sort of. If we wish for so many things in life, and they happened altogether, what would we choose first? It's kind of tricky because we may or may not be able to pour our time and enjoy those things. Like if we have to choose just one, how would we stand for the other wishes? I'm not saying that it's bad to wish for everything but let's all be practical and choose wisely. If that's not too much to ask. If none happened, then we may or may not feel...
