This kind of post is my favorite kind of post to write before. Like, I don't even know why. Maybe because at the beginning of each month, I usually have a lot of things that I look forward to. Places to go, food to eat, friends to see and all that Jazz. But we all know that only half of my plans can make it thru to the second stage. And there are so many stages. LOL. It actually depends whether I would have two days off, if I'm tired or whatever, or my mood basically. Can I just say that I have already failed today's plan of going to Harajuku-Shibuya? Work ended kind of late and I got home kind of late so after work, I set an alarm at 12 and I was like, sleepy and then I thought mmm...I still have a lot of time to go there anyways. LAZY! I should get a planner. I have a journal but I would like to let you know that I haven't seen that since July of last year. Yup!  I'm turning 23 this month. I have had lots of conversation with my mom about it recently. Mainly her ...

Surprised? Yeah me too. After 18 days of living alone, I have known many things that I did not want to know but thankfully, I have. Because the knowledge might save me. As much as I love Japan and it's beauty. Well the people too. Sometimes. Just like any other place, it can be dangerous. Suicide is one thing very common here. I don't know. And it's crazy how people can kill their own relative just for health insurance and stuff. Also, usually, widowed woman, who is dating another man would kill their own child to be free and have more time for the man. Crazy crazy crazy.  I don't know why it is easy for them to kill people. Very minimal but it happens. The situation is usually like this. A guy holding a knife would just attack anyone and kill it. I'm pretty sure that the guy is out of his mind but you know, that's what they're showing on the news and it scares the heck out of me. I guess there's a reported case in my area. If you reme...

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...

We all know that Ramadan already started. I am a Catholic and this is somehow my point of view. I studied in a Catholic high school and I grew up studying Christian Living so I don't really know much about other religions and their stuff. Except probably when we studied it a little bit on our History. But that didn't make it justice. I also don't know anyone who is not a Christian other than dad and his friends . But that's another story since dad is not really a Filipino. I also studied in a Catholic university so that didn't help me learning about other religion or beliefs as well. Oh well. I am not actually the type who want to study all these things but I don't know. I seem to be curious nowadays.  To my story now. Yesterday, our class started at around 8 and the lecturer told us that we wouldn't have lunch and so my school mate, prepared as ever, brought out her cheese bread and offered it to the crowd. No one got a piece. Well except...

But some cases are hopeless . But some people are asking for it. Therefore, it shall be given to them. This is a post about my opinion on the 35 year old Filipina who will be executed in China any time now. And just about my opinion on it being the punishment. So the story is this Filipina was caught carrying a prohibited drug at the airport. Coincidence? I don't think so. Her parents are saying that their child is a victim. Really? The woman is not a first timer and I know that she knows what her doing. She just don't know she's gonna get caught! Too bad. Does she deserve to die? NO. She just deserve to be punished. Too bad for her though, China's law states that her act is punishable by death. In that case, she deserve it. I pity her. I pity her family. Especially her children. I know for a fact that their mother just want the best for them that's why she was able to that (and so are hold uppers) but man, it doesn't have to be done that way. The thi...

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...

I watched Letters to Juliet awhile ago because not so long ago, I've searched for movies set in Europe and this is one of the recommendations. Totally out of the topic (as always) but I've watched Bourne Legacy, LOL, Under the Tuscan Sun, Midnight in Paris, When in Rome, 2 Days in Paris, Monte Carlo, and Leters to Juliet from that recommendation thingy. I may have missed one or two but it doesn't matter. This particular movie is kind of  a little bit cheesy for me but considering that I searched to kind of see Europe, this one's nice. As a side note, I'd like to work as one of Juliet's secretaries. I think I would have fun writing letters to people. I just like the whole idea of it but I'm not really sure whether or not I'm Juliet enough to write them back or something but who cares? I figured I like writing.  Also! I don't believe the Sophie and the guy's love because come on! I mean, seriously? It all happened too soon. Like, 3 d...

As much as I find the election enticing, I just can't control myself and notice the effery going on. First of all, let's talk about the campaign materials. I really don't mind if it's something very useful to the whole human population such as umbrella, T-shirt, ballpen, and other stuff which we can use in our everyday lives but for some reason, these politicians cannot comprehend that having paper as their material will just pollute the environment! And then their campaign would involve something like cleaning the environment or something like that. Good for them! CLEAN AS YOU GO! I always say that we should always start with ourselves. So tadah! This is what the front of our house looks like.  IS IT FIESTA TIME OR WHAT? Are you effing serious about this thing, guys? WHAT A WASTE OF RESOURCES! My mom was literally guarding over this last night because these hanging thing actually happens at night and in the morning, you'll get surprised on how...

Who to vote? Just a quick note that this post will be lengthy and I would totally understand if you won't read this post. I just have to have it here. After spell checking and add whatever to this shiz maybe twice, I don't know if I would reread it again myself anytime soon anyways.  I told you in my previous update that I would be voting this May 2013 Election. And since I don't really know all of my candidates, I then find it really improper for me to just go there and shade blindly. But that's really how it worked for me for the past 4 years of my college life. But  anyways. It's actually good that I visited COMELEC'S website few days ago because for some reason, it's UNDER CONSTRUCTION now.  I can't really understand some of the aspiring politicians because for some reason, they're all kind of the same for me. At some point. FOR THE POOR. But thinking about it, it's like abandoning those who are a little or totally above that ...

Awhile ago, while watching a morning show, they discussed something that I think I really needed. Basically, it's about being young and doing all the things that you can do while you're still young. But of course those are elites so it's really a different story. But anyways, it's somehow the same story. Whut? The girls there are already in their mid twenties and early thirties and even though they have already traveled to many places, they still have a lot of places in mind that they want to go to. And one of them said that while she's young, she want to go sky diving, and stuff like that and then the host said that she don't want to sky dive because she's thinking of the welfare of her kids and all that mental stuff which is probably hard to avoid thinking so I say maybe it's really ideal for people to have fun while they still don't have to think of stuff like that. That is not of course to say that people with kids can't h...

I actually and honestly think I have nice eyes. That's all I could brag about anyways. LOL just kidding.  I watched a short documentary about something alarming, shocking, and amazing all at the same time. The story is that they hired a forensic sketch artist from the FBI and what they did was that individually, they asked this women to have a somehow private session with this artist and then this artist asked these women to describe themselves physically and stuff and then he sketched them accordingly. Then they have few people there that are not related to the women and assigned them to a particular woman and they were asked to get to know each other a little better and all that. And then the apprentices were then asked individually on how they would describe their partners. Now, I don't know if the apprentices were just really kind and gentle (I bet not) about bringing out the flaws of their partners but you know, their description for me is actually more accurate t...

If you don't know Janine Tugonon, that's her picture above I got from Yahoo. And if you don't know what happened to her, I would just link it here. THE ARTICLE I WAS TALKING ABOUT.   I am a fan of The Script if you don't know already and Janine is somehow affiliated with my very dear friend, Erika because they were like in the search for Ms. and Mr. Pharmacy thingy together way back 2009. Probably. Gorge friend in yellow So what happened was Janine broke up with her boyfriend because of "DANNY of The Script". Actually, I don't think it's because of Danny alone. Her boyfriend tweeted so. Her boyfriend was right though that if she's not interested, then she wouldn't be interested in contacting Danny as he wish so yeah. SO SHE'S INTERESTED.  My sisters really freaked out when they knew about this and my youngest sister was actually the one who told me this because I wasn't able to watch KrisTV's episode on that so whatev...

They say that if you can speak the English language, you're cool, intelligent, probably well educated, or maybe rich, or whatever. That's what they say. At least in the Philippines. NOT MY OPINION. I mean, it's kind of common now and I don't know what these people think. Anyways. I really appreciate the language because if I can't speak and understand English, well, we wouldn't be talking like this right now wouldn't we? And I probably wouldn't be able to watch HOUSE which is my favorite T.V. series by the way. I am not saying that I am the BEST ENGLISH speaker or writer or whatever (not even close) because you know, I don't know if you noticed but I can't really keep my tenses consistent so leave it alone.  I actually didn't want to do this at first but dad made me do it. Here's why. While my sister and I were watching Big Mommas: Like Father Like Son and then dad asked us if we can understand everything they're saying in t...

As I consider my blog as a PENSIEVE, I have to let things out of my too stretched brain because it can't handle things anymore. It's SUMMER BREAK and I am bored as hell. So I decided to add up BLOGS to my reading list. And I am still searching for blogs by the way so if you know a blog that you think I might enjoy reading, feel free to recommend or something. Actually, I did search for blogs myself but I didn't really find that much. Sure there are a lot of blogs out there but I found out (just now) that I'm not really that much of a fan of BEAUTY BLOGS. And by beauty, I mean, PURE BEAUTY BLOGS. I know it's not my business but I don't know. I'm not hating of course. But personally (good for me, I know) in the future, I'd rather look at the places I've been or the things I've done than to look at how made up I was or something. Oh well. I say a little bit of everything is nice. You gotta believe me though! I was probably just in a wrong place...

Election here in the Philippines is just around the corner. It means, things are already getting annoying. I'm not a fan of politics. Thank you to my second year Filipino teacher way back in high school who supported me with this. In my opinion, it's not like choosing to turn off the lights for an hour to save the Earth. By doing that, you're certain that you did something right. There's no backfire. In politics, you choose someone, that someone messed up, your fault (partly) because not everyone wanted that someone to be in position. The point is, I don't really care if I don't vote or whatever because I don't really care. And because I don't vote, I wouldn't complain (much) about things related to politics or things like that. Except this. This happened very near our house so I was able to hear what the speakers were saying and all that crap. So basically, this politician who's running for a position in the congress was like mentioni...

I don't actually cry easily. Except when Sirius Black died. OMG my feelings! Anyways, I just want to share these crying experiences during our internship program because I want to let these things go now and I don't want to go on with my life with a heavy heart or something like that. I should have entitled this WHY I CRIED but that's just...I don't know.  This is the first time I cried. During my first internship, it was my first time in a certain laboratory post so even though I learned the theoretical stuff at school, I really don't know if I can touch anything there and do whatever I want to do, or what. I was with a post mate that time and we weren't oriented on what to do so we just stayed there. The staff there usually comes at around 9 and our duty starts at 7 so we were just sitting there and all that. Talking and stuff. When the laboratory receptionist brought a specimen, naturally, we didn't know whether we could do that because we were...

Good morning world!! :) I saw this picture on Facebook and actually saved it on my phone. And then after awhile, I saw it on Instagram and yeah, I was like, wow. If all the people would be like that, then I guess we won't be having a problem and be successful and all that. Can you see how close the guy is in getting all those diamonds? If he didn't give up, he's probably enjoying by now. There's really a thin line between success and giving up. I just want to relate that to our thesis which is like, almost there na! I mean, we only need a few more signatures and we're done like that. No more. It's been quite a while since we suffered from that thesis stuff so I guess we were just too patient and didn't give up so we were able to achieve what we achieved and that we finished it with pride! Hahaha you know, not bragging or anything but our thesis is actually quite hard to accomplish. It's not like we can do it whatever time we want. W...

With all the bombings that happened recently that involved firearms and such, it has been a controversy whether or not private individuals should be allowed to carry one. And I would like to share my reaction on this whole issue. Recently, Sandy Hook was attacked by a guy named Adam and shot 26 innocent individuals. See, I agree that people should be able to defend themselves in the best way possible but there should be a certain place where to get it and there should be a series of psychologic exams to be able to acquire one. Because gun control wouldn't actually do anything good to anyone. It's not like criminals would just back off when it's finally implemented. It's not like bad people are actually waiting for this gun control to happen for them to start a new beginning. No. The thing is, since they're still out there with their guns, what about the good guys? It's not like the bad guys would just drop off their guns if...
