Our Little Luna

Image
  I can’t express how happy I feel. June 15th, my baby Cola gave birth to two little puppies but one of them didn’t make it, sad to say. I was actually on my way to work when my mom noticed that my dog’s probably gonna give birth because there’s something poking out of the vag area. I can’t really do much besides massage the belly for quite some time because as I said, WORK. Around noon I received the bad news that the puppy didn’t make it and Cola actually didn’t care much. I kept asking my sister to check for another puppy but she was like, no more. Okay.   I came home from work and I saw Cola at the doorway and I was just comforting her for maybe 30 minutes or so and I was also low-key massaging her tummy palpating if there’s still something inside. I was so sure that I felt a head or something. Anyway, I then decided to take her on a walk and that’s when I saw the placenta coming out of her vag! And I was like, this is impossible because my mom sent me a picture of the sti...

On the Frontline

Image
Been on the frontline for almost 2 weeks now. It’s been really tough for us since as you know, the weather in the Philippines is not that great and even though we have the air conditioned inside the laboratory, I find myself sweating a lot more inside the suit. The weather is a factor because for some reason, we can’t get the laboratory temperature below 26-28C and it’s actually supposed to be at 20C. So it’s either the weather or the aircon. I’m so sorry for those who healthcare workers who have it worst. Public hospitals for example. I feel you.  First day of duty. Second Day Third Day Fourth Day Fifth Day On the fourth day, two of the former medical technologists paid us a visit and brought food! I only one of them because you know, I being her replacement and I only heard stories of the other one and yeah it was really nice seeing them both to be honest. That's all I have to say now. So far I am safe and I hope I will be safe throughout this pandemic. Mostly for my family. HAPP...

Sayonara, Hana Chan

Image
Hana is just the liveliest in my opinion. She was my favorite from the start and actually for a while but because she kind of lashed out during that costume incident with Kai, I was kind of taken aback and I thought we’re probably different when it comes to our opinions and stuff. Hana is a member of a reality show in Japan called Terrace House. She is a wrestler and that’s life BINGO I ALREADY LOVE HER MOMENT FOR ME. I super duper love wrestling when I was a kid. My dad actually thought I’d be a wrestler when I grow up. He encouraged me to be one at some point but that didn’t happen obvi. She’s a very lively soul if you ask me. Always smiling with her PINK HAIR and all. But then, today, in the afternoon, she took her own life. She was 22. It’s a sad day. Even though she’s no longer my favorite, I was very sad and so uneasy when I found out what happened to her. I couldn’t really talk about it to anyone because I’m the only person I know who watches the show. I wanted to make a post ab...

Prison Break

Image
Theodore Bagwell/Poseidon. I mean, I might have a chance of getting out, right? Let’s just talk about Prison Break a little bit. I mean, it’s good!! I like it. The medical side of it is WHACK to be honest but everything else is interesting. Dr. Sara Tancredi of all people in the show made a pregnancy test mistake. Lost my respect to her as a doctor to be honest. Damn you people. And that operation The Company did to Michael is just as unforgivable. It doesn’t look a bit real. That’s all I have to say about it for now. I watched this show for about 2 weeks and let’s just say that if I ever be in prison, I might just get myself out. Not as quick as Michael Scofield did though! He’s just genius! I don’t really have a favorite person but if I really have to choose, I’d choose FERNANDO SUCRE. He’s just ideal. Imagine having someone fight for you like Sucre did. And man, his loyalty! A thief though! But easy to like nevertheless. I also like how Alexander Mahone’s character turned out to be....

Quarantine Extension?! (TIP!)

Image
Will there be? I don’t really know but as healthcare professional, I hope so. It is the logical thing to do. We are battling against something we can’t really see so it’s the right thing to do if we want to really flatten the curve which is as we all know impossible as we haven’t even tested much people so you know, for all we know infected people are still multiplying in numbers behind our proud backs. TRAITOR.  I pity the Filipino people. I pity because they are hungry. This is Hunger Games in real life y’all. The supermarkets be the CORNUCOPIA. For real. I mean this is Hunger Games, we’re all a tribute. You know, not everyone has a sponsor and not everyone can hunt their own food because not everyone can work. We have been in this quarantine for almost a month and a half now and all my household received (around week 3) is a one week supply of rice and you know maybe a 3 day supply of food relief from the local barangay for one person. We are 5 in this family. I’m not in any way...

Still a Slytherin

Image
I’m still a Slytherin! I mean, I know I’m a Slytherin but “I WONDER” as Mr. Olivander would say. This is actually a random Facebook feature and I got this the first try. Except my wand is a Sycamore wood with a phoenix feather core 11 3/4 and surprisingly swishy. Also, I don’t think I’d get a Niffler myself. Not a fan of bonding and feeding it when playing HPHM so yeah. Because of this Quarantine, I find myself playing this game again. Yay! No? Does anyone play this still? No? Okay. So yeah I checked whether I am still a Slytherin on Pottermore. I checked and got sorted again (sneaky) and voila! Still am. I mean, what’s worst than buying a scarf merch on Wizarding World of Harry Potter and then finding out you don’t belong anymore, right? Ha! That’s all! 

From my Dad's Point of View

Image
Maybe not so long ago, like, three or four years, my dad bought a digital camera and yeah these are some of the photos in it from when he bought it up to before his passing. I’d like to share them with you and maybe tell you a little story behind it. If there’s any. This was shot at the airport and I think this is the first time that I came back to the Philippines for like two years of being in Japan. This is at Suzuki Beach in Subic. I think I may have mentioned it before but the beach is where we usually celebrate dad's birthday so yeah.  This is when we went to this sushi restaurant near my place.  Man, I miss my station.  Before going to work  So yeah unfortunately though the camera didn’t make it. I was able to use it once in Japan when we were in the Sakuragicho area but yeah I think when I checked it 2 days later, the flip mirror isn’t displaying very well until it gave up and didn't open anymore. It’s unfortunate, you know. I wanted to use it but yeah I guess...

Hey Mikie Chicken Alfredo Pasta Recipe

Image
I made this a while back but yeah this is how I made Chicken Alfredo Sauce Pasta. For people who can’t really read Japanese, I used: . Chicken breast (Better to cut it to tinier pieces)  . Parmessan cheese  . Mozzarella cheese . Butter . Fettuccine pasta  . Half and half (I used whipped cream)  . Milk  . Olive oil . Salt and Pepper So the first thing I did was fry the chicken breast in olive oil like so. I then seasoned it with salt and pepper. I mixed one cup of milk, butter, 2 cartons of whipped cream, and one pack of mozarella cheese pack. I didn’t set aside and proceeded with making the alfredo sauce because you know, we don’t always have the luxury of time or space to set aside things. Also, I only have one big pan at home. I don’t know my pans. Anyways, I also seasoned it with salt and pepper again to taste. Just a little bit though because cheese is already salty so you don’t want to overdo that.  I boiled the pasta in a deep sauce pan for 8 minutes ...
