Registered Medical Technologist.♥

♥ I am now a Registered Medical Technologist ♥

Today has been the most nerve-wrecking and heart pounding moment of my life. I woke up at 7am (that's unusual for a no school day :3) just to check if the results were out. I used to think that I would be cool with whatever results that awaits me but then I found myself constantly praying, wishing and hoping that I could pass this very great hurdle of achieving my dream. I am very grateful that God has heard each and every prayer screaming from my heart. It was the first time in my life that I got so tensed and nervous. I badly wanted to pass this test, I know that I may be lacking in preparations due to the short duration of my review days but I prayed. I believed and trusted Him. So I checked the PRC website for almost every minute. I waited anxiously until 3pm. It was a veeerrrryyyy long day for me. That's when I decided to just relax myself and watch Fated to Love You. Surprisingly, in less than 2 hours, somebody messaged me congratulations. I felt my heart was about to explode and so I rushed in the wi-fi spot of our house and googled the list of board exam passers. I started from the bottom and scrolled up slowly until I found my name. My niece and I totally screamed and I'm so happy. Even now, I can't take off the smile on my face. Thank you Lord for everything and for being with me always during the happiest and darkest moments of my life. ♥ Ooh and BTW, I am so so so proud of my school for being on the top 2 spot. That's my batch! Rise to the top! ♥

Spartacus. ♥

♥ Oh My Champions. :3 ♥

This is yet the most amazing TV Series I've watched. I was never a fan of brutality, violence or gore but when my friend made me watch the Gods of the Arena last week, I can't stop myself from watching. @.@ Thankfully, I have downloaded the series maybe a year ago in my external hard disk when he first told me about it. I never truly wanted to watch cause I wasn't interested but after a few minutes of the first episode, I was like, damn I want to have a gladiator of my own. More so a champion. I'm definitely going to finish this 4 seasons in less than a week. And so I did. I have never felt more satisfied and heartbroken at the same time on the ending of a story so great.

It is a wonder why I have been such a flower in a house full of men. I've always heard that being the only girl in the family only concludes in two things: either they became a lesbian or be tied with a man at a young age. I don't believe it so. But right now I wonder, how it feels to live among gladiators with a sword in my hand, and a champion that guides me and loves me just like what Crixus is to Naevia. (hah! dream on, girl! T^T) Although there are scenes where I just hate her for being so paranoid. Anyway, in this series, I've had a glimpse of true brotherhood and the right values that every man of worth must have. I'm on ecstasy whenever the three champions are together. Spartacus being their mind and leader, Crixus being the brute and oh that very deep voice.. ♥ and Gannicus the carefree man who never fail to make me laugh whenever he laughs.

I just wished they could have all been together for a little longer. But anyway, I wouldn't have it any other way. There'll be no end to their war except for death. I was not just prepared for it that's why I shed so many tears starting from the moment that they cut off Crixus' head and the tribute they did for him, Gannicus being rounded up by the soldiers and nailed to a cross, Spartacus having been speared at the back (I never saw that one coming) and up until the ending when Agron kissed him in the forehead and in the credits when Andy Whitfield said, "I am Spartacus!". T^T Why do they all have to die? T^T I would feel less brokenhearted if Crassus and Caesar has died before them. T^T Anyway, just watch it, my blog has been full of spoilers lately. :/ Oh and note: the love scenes, there's plenty of it that's why I have found it difficult to watch with my granny sleeping in my bed, ready to scold me if she woke up to such views. :3

Jhava's 4th Birthday.

♥ Ate Lhen, Ate Jhen, Kuya Erwin, Ate Mau ♥

Toplister ♥

♥ PHT, HEM, SEM ♥

Okayyy, so apparently, my friend Carabee tagged me on facebook. We've been friends since elementary days but we had a different circle of friends, so I was somehow surprised when I see her post on my newsfeed. I locked my wall on fb because I just want to be reserved and it's funny how ironic it was for me wanting to be reserved yet here i am making a blog about everything that happens in my life. Hah! Anyway, it's embarrassing but somehow I felt special and proud to be tagged by a friend who always excels academically ever since our allsian years. I may have always been in the middle or last of the list but I couldn't care less. That's who I am and that's just enough for me, I don't need to be the best in everything. Though I know I could try a little bit harder next time. Haha jk, I don't wanna exhaust my brain anymore. x)

2013 New Year's Eve.

 ♥ Happy New Year! ♥

Ever since my grandfather died, my aunt and granny couldn't celebrate with us anymore like they did before. Their place is very far from our house and I just hope that they would be with us next year. Anyway, it's been a not-so-great year due to my grandpa's passing. Still, God gave us a new member of the family, Ate Dianne and the unborn baby on her belly. I love my grandpa, he's the one who always let me sit on his lap when I was still a little girl everytime I'm in Bulacan, he's a cool grandpa and he buys our favorite inihaw na tilapia, the one who taught us how to play solitaire. I pray that he's happy in heaven now. I miss him. Please guide us always lolo, I love you! :)

Game of Thrones-athon.

♥ Oh holiday break ♥

Okay so school has ended a week ago and yuletide has passed and the thing that has become the most memorable for me was when I started watching The Game of Thrones from season one to three. It has been forever since I downloaded from torrent the first season in my external hard disk and it was just last week that I decided to watch it and I really think it was one of the best decisions i've made in my life so far. After finishing the first season within two days, i couldn't sleep thinking that i have to download and wait for so long again before i could watch the next season, that's when I decided to look for the entire season two and three in the market. And yes, best decision yet again. :3

Truth be told, I have never been once eager to watch an American tv series, more so to finish it. Yes I have watched Bones, King, Skins, The Walking Dead.. etc. but there's just something about the Game of Thrones that made me so hooked up to it. I guess it's the story, the characters (every one of them and oh gee, I even love those dragons!), the setting (i just love anything medieval and monarchy), the fighting scenes (oh yea, valar morghulis ♥), oh and the fact that it has adult scenes (this is the main reason why I was able to watch it peacefully in my room.. no kids allowed! *and then chomp some chips*). :3 Personally, I don't like giving reviews, like, chopping down the whole thing and rating each of the parts where nobody would actually want to finish reading it because it's too long and there are many other reviews shorter than yours that's easier and more convenient to read and blah blah blah.. And heck, it's a personal blog anyway, why would you care about what I post? it's filled with my opinions. Go make your own blog if you're against what my brain tells me. I couldn't even care less. x) All I can say is that when something caught up your attention, go ahead and do it. And that this is one of the greatest series i've ever watched. Can't wait for the next season! yayyy! ♥

Girl Bonding.

"I think if I’ve learned anything about friendship, it’s to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don’t walk away, don’t be distracted, don’t be too busy or tired, don’t take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff."

– Jon Katz

Thesis Defense.

♥ The Effectivity of C.papaya Seed Extract as A Natural Coagulant for Water Purification ♥

See the look of victory on our faces? Hah! Simply because we just won the battle of defending our thesis against the panel. :P The nights we stayed up doing research and long facebook conversations sharing this journal and that wondering if it would be of some help on our research, different methods and kind of plants/fruits that could also be used as a natural coagulant, going to places like the National Library, National Museum and everything just to find significance on what we're doing.. has all finally paid off. I guess being on the medical field is really no joke, we struggle everyday due to our quizzes, studying for long exams and doing research on top of that, but who cares? I'm so in love with my course even though it's hard af. x3

Christening of Baby Alexa.

♥ Christening of Baby Alexa ♥

So these are my college friends. EJ, Sharmaine, Claudine, Liana and Milani. And that very cute little girl is Liana's very first baby. We look so happy here because of course, we were actually happy during that time. LOL x) but seriously, only Sha, EJ and me were the only ones left as classmates. :( I miss those three girls. We used to chill and hangout together with EJ and Danica during our freshmen year but things, people and moments come and go so fast that I don't have much time to actually look back in the past and see the progress of what I made myself today. During the next few years, will Lia still be the only one who holds a baby? Who knows, it could be me or my other friends. :) In to the future! ♥

Jefferson's 9th Birthday.

♥ When you see it.. ♥

So yesterday was my youngest brother's 8th birthday celebration. And apparently, you can see a girl with bangs on a black jumpshort and a blue jacket. Guess what? that half girl was me! haha. You see, I'm an intern and I have a duty on the hospital yesterday so when I got home the party was over and that pic was taken way before I got home. I think my sister-in-law love me so much that in order for us to be complete, she put me on the pic and tagged me on fb haha!. It wasn't obvious for me at first glance though until I recognize the unfamiliar scene with my very familiar pose. Haha I guess they really left that space for me. So touching! xD

Grad Pic Throwback.

 ♥ Laarni, Iche, Sheshe, Sarah, Steph, Czer, Jhek, Xav and Vangie ♥

Our batch's yearbook. The very proof that we've made it through highschool together. It feels wonderful knowing that each of us has chosen different paths and somehow still feel so connected that I obviously felt our friendship will last forever like some of those cliched movies about bffs and their road to adulthood. Different point of views, different personalities, different careers and different attitudes toward everything, I still wonder how the heck did we find ourselves in each other's company? I guess that's just what makes us a very great and unique mix of coffee and vodka. Cheers to our counting years of friendhip. ♥

BCM 3 Movie.

♥ Clinical Chemistry Film Showing ♥

This is the first time i've ever edited a video that turned out good. Well it's not perfect, you can still hear some of my classmates voices from the background but due to the pressure of deadline, i've just let it be like that. Thank God my classmates and professor didn't seem to hear it cause they were busy yelling, laughing and teasing my group mates :3 It was fun starting from the moment we were filming the video up until we watched the outcome. This was the first time i think i became proud of myself. Haha. I made a video before but that was just a piece of crap compared to this one. The only good thing about my past video is the bloopers. But this one is much much funnier and has a good storyline.

Well this story revolves around a good boy named Jessie, a medtech student who was very spoiled by his father, EJ. One day, their friend Maggie invited them to her house party. Jessie then met Jhulie, who seemed to have stolen his heart at first sight. Eventually, they became lovers and started to date until one day Jhulie suddenly wanted to break up without apparent reason. Having his heart broken, Jessie found his two friends smoking on the road to his way home. They influenced him to do drugs and forget about his problems. On the other hand, Maggie's parents also did drugs on her birthday and unfortunately, her stepdad asked Maggie's mom if he could lay with her daughter and she said yes. And so Maggie got raped. EJ then brought Jessie to the clinic because his behavior seemed to change. Jessie was positive to both THC and MET. EJ (without knowing the results yet) came home one day only to find out Jessie doing drugs in his own home. They fought and Jessie left their home. One night, Jessie saw her friend Maggie being harassed by his two addict friends and he fought them. One morning, Jessie and Maggie talked about their past lives and how Jessie was changed by God and prayers. Since then, Maggie became the girl she was again. With her stepdad on the rehab and her mother being taken care of by her. So that's it. I think my grammar totally sucked in this one. I was never good in narrating T^T Anyway, I hope you could just watch it. :P

Family.

♥ That's the Kenny Promise. ♥

Our Sunday after-church family bonding. ♥ Look at the three of us girls in the upper left corner. Don't we all look alike? Haha jk. Can't help but smile at the caption, I so love Kenny Rogers. ♥ So you see, the first girl is my elder brother's girlfriend, or should i say soon-to-be-wife. :D Isn't she so pretty? Too bad my eldest brother and his wife aren't here with us. She's also very pretty and i'm so proud how good my brothers are in picking women because seriously, I like my two big sisters now. ♥ Makes me wonder if i'll also have a pretty little sister from my younger brother.. and youngest brother. Oh my gee, my life is full of brothers! Haha but I don't feel sad or lonely being the only girl anyway. (I won't have to bicker with anyone wearing my things, lol). I feel protected most of the time but I think they're going to be busy with their families now and I have no choice but to protect myself and my little brothers. Also, my moomoobells (my niece, the third one in the picture) is there. She's like my little sister. I have a very happy life. ♥

Pre-Internship!

♥ Fatima University Medical Center ♥

That's me, Steph, Carabee, Rhum and Ejay. My group mates for our pre-internship duty at FUMC. So you see, we already completed the medical examinations to qualify for the internship. The Complete Blood Count, Urinalysis, Fecalysis, Drug Test, Chest X-ray, Hepatitis B titer. It's all done except for the Hep B vaccine. I'm on my second shot and it'll took me 6 months before I could take the third. My titer isn't even that high. -.- Anyway, enough with the medical blahs. I just wanted to share how difficult it was to poop in a hospital. Firstly because i'm not sure if the toilet's clean, next is because I don't even felt like pooping and lastly, I was so afraid to run out of tissues. Oh and how I have sweat today. -.- I'm supposed to be embarrassed saying this but hey, i'm only just a human too. :P byeee~

Medtech Ball part 2.

♥ Crossroad 77 ♥

I still remember how last year's med-tech night went by. It was fun and I've always hoped that this year's event is going to be a blast too. Well, all I can say is.. it was okay.. I was expecting it to be boring anyway. If not for my friends and those plus-points-bait-of-those-professors, I don't think I would've come. I wasn't in the mood for partying or whatever that day. My mom's just the one who made me go to parlor and have my make up and hair done. I wanted it to be simple as much as possible cause I remembered how much I suffered from acne last year after those bunch of make up on my face. -.- Anyway, I hope that this would be the last Med tech Ball i'll attend to. I want to graduate already. T^T Bye bye for now~

Oh Friends.

It's a good thing that my friends love to make collages every time they upload a picture and tag me. That way, it's easier for me to upload it here than to collect some pics and make a collage for myself. *This girl loves easy work. LOL jk. Just too lazy.* Anyway, so here's another set of my friends. Tadadan~! Today I hang out with Sheshe and Celine in infinitea for another round of chatting. And Celine finally introduced her boyfie to us. I hope they'll be a great couple. :)

I look different.

I wonder why the camera hates me more often than it doesn't. Sorry if it might seem vain to you but truly, a pic like this is so very hard to come by. Haha. Forgive me. Have a great day humanoids. ♥

Alien-ster.

OMG. Who's that alien girl? @.@

LOL. Just playing with my mom's iPad Mini. x)

Unexpected Bonding.

So here's Czermaine, Me, and Stephanie. This meeting was entirely unexpected. It's amazing how we crossed each other's paths without even intending to. Steph was the first one to see me on my way to the tricycle terminal and when we're about to go eat and chat somewhere, we found Czer. :D Well, she barely hang out with us nowadays because of her 'Kpop'-filled life and it was nice to see her again even for a little while. And we decided to chill in KFC. Oh Krushers. I hope Czer would hang out with us more often like she used to during our High School days. Anyway, i'm out. ♥

Mindanao.

And here I am once again. LOL. I beg you people to please bear seeing my face in almost every post I have for I truly cherish all the blessings that God has given me and just in case I grew old and ugly, i'll know that I have something precious to look back into. Anyway, enough with the nonsense blahs, i'm here to tell you what happened last week in Mindanao. :)

So there you see a picture of KC Concepcion and Sam Milby.. in the tarpaulin. The one you see beside me is my loving father. We're in Tinago Falls (Hidden Falls). Maybe it was called like that because of the hundred stairs you'll step on. It was no sweat going down, but the killer was to go back up. Nevertheless, it's beautiful. The real purpose why we went there last week was to attend the wedding of the cousin of my mom's best friend. That explains why I was wearing that semi formal attire on the right. It looks simple but I like myself that way. Then there was music, the flashing of cameras, exchanging of vows, teary-eyed couples, and me wishing to be married happily someday.. oh well, buh-bye!
