HI FOLKS! So not so long ago, my co-workers and I had a talk about our childhood pictures. Well, it kinda started when one of us showed a picture when she was younger and basically she asked us to bring a physical photo album of our childhood pictures sort of (which we didn't end up doing by the way). I am lucky because my mom made sure to have all these and a whole lot more photos taken when I was younger. So yeah! I'm actually just gonna repost these as I've already shared these with everyone on my old blogspot. Peace! I have no recollection whatsoever of this so it's nice to have these photos to look at and just know that it happened. It's kinda why I keep a blog as well. I guess I got it from my momma.  My biological dad. I don’t know and I don’t remember anything from it but my mom said I’ve been to Ueno Zoo many times before. My only memory of it was quite recent when I went with my Nepali friends.    How cute am I with those ternos?  One thing I remember from...

Where is the lie? (Relevant but not for long) I had my first dose of the vaccine on March 26, 2021. As per WHO’s recommendation, SINOVAC isn’t advised for medical front-liners and then there was this debate that Medical Technologists such as myself isn’t really considered a front-liner and stuff but yeah that’s for another story. Maybe later in the post.  Before coming to work, I already took one paracetamol to kind of prep myself for the whole procedure. I’m sorry, liver.  To my surprise, they let us choose what to get and I actually don’t mind getting any of the two that is available but I opted for the one that is “recommended”. But it’s just me. You can get whatever you want. Just get it ASAP.  This is me getting jabbed. Initial feeling is actually just pain on the area. Nothing really weird.  This is my celebratory meal. Loved it.  CHILLS. FEVER. DIARRHEA. VOMITING. HEADACHE. A little bit of all of that. Well actually, the headache was kind of severe on the...

About a month ago, after months of missed period, I decided to have it checked. I don't know why I wasn't that concerned though coz I remember this thing happened last year too and I guess my period came in and continued coming on the clock for several months so...yeah. I initially thought that last year's shenanigans is brought upon by stress which is maybe true but this year is less stressful for me in a way but I also thought it's probably because of the Corona virus and stuff but yeah I decided to have it checked by the tech and yeah I had a whole abdomen ultrasound that time and she said she can’t really find anything beside my perfect looking kidneys and my fatty liver so she said I should have it checked by the doctor and yeah. I had a Trans-V ultrasound and I don’t know if the doc’s just so used to it but she sounded so unconcerned when she said “poly cystic ka lang dear”. I don’t know if it’s nothing to be concerned about or maybe that’s just how she approach p...

A little over a month ago, we went to this place at SM North Edsa and had lunch. Birthday lunch to be exact. It was actually my first time here and even with the precautions they’re doing with the ongoing pandemic and all, I still enjoyed. I mean, we went to two different buffets and the experience was just not the same. I actually wonder what’s it like here before the pandemic.  They had this mini photo booth that I many pictures of. Myself and my sister.  They had this cute valentine cake going on. I actually didn’t bring any ID with me which I should have bought because they have a birthday promo and my meal should have actually been free but too bad.  Chicken Hainanese Stuff for grilling. I had soo many shrimp! No regrets! I actually didn’t try much of the other stuff they have that day which is not the right way to attack a buffet if you ask me.  The shabu shabu thing they have going on also have pre-made set and all you have to do is to order a soup to put it i...

One week ago, your girl turned 29 years old! I mean, we're almost at the end of my 20's and it's quite scary to be honest. I mean it's only a year older but there's something about hitting that mark I guess. I mean, it wasn't as big of a deal when I was 19 turning 20 for sure but yeah (checks old blog) -- It turns out I started blogging shortly after my 20th birthday so I couldn't really tell you if I was like, whoah! I'm 20. Anyway.  This cake is called Cookieccino and for some reason, I like it. Everyone else in the fam didn't like this as much but me likey!  This is the cake my co-medtechs got me! They're all vibin' with the cake's theme yeah? Thanks, guys! I appreciate you all!  This is what my mom got me. She's really into the SHEIN thing which I don't really get. I mean, maybe I'm just not big into clothes is all. I'm big into chocolates though!  The main celebration was when we ate at this hotspot place and it was s...

Well...YES. I told you guys about my COVID infection not so long ago but there's a specific vaccine brand out in the market that can be administered even with prior exposure. I mean, what can possibly go wrong? MANY! But that's not the point! I don't think I'd let my guard down even with the vaccine so you know. So why would I want to be vaccinated then you ask? Well The main reason is because I want to protect myself from the virus. We all know I failed to protect myself from it the first time and second, to put a stop to this whole shebang. I want my normal life back as soon as possible. I want to travel the world and live the remaining year of my 20's freely! Basically, I just don't want to be as annoyed as I am right now with people not following the protocol and stuff. Anyway, the local government unit of the city where I live launched a survey/pre-registration for free vaccine and I signed myself, and my whole family for it. My city is one of the few in th...

It’s The New Year! It’s a new year. So basically it’s just another week or so of writing the year wrong. Even though we did celebrate the occasion more this time that last year’s, it’s just not enough, I feel like. Maybe it’s just me though. I’m turning almost 30 this year. We started the celebration on December 24th. I know this is supposed to be a very wholesome/jolly/merry celebration but let me rant for a second. My sister managed to get us a reservation at Sambokojin at West Avenue. It was all good and all or so we thought. Dinner is around 6 and we arrived there around 5. We were early even. There were staff going in and out of the area and one of them approached us and asked the purpose of us being there. So my mom explained that we have a reservation and all but then he told us that they don’t operate the buffet at dinner time and so we were like, then how the hell did we get a reservation? Whose fault is it? It’s not exactly near from where we live so you mean we went there fo...
