My Bucket List
When I was in a vacation last October 2012, a friend of mine told me that our vacation somehow made me cross out some of the things in my bucket list so I decided to finally put into writing those stuffs that I wanted to do and somehow aiming to do. As a result, here's my bucket list and I am hoping to fulfill if not all at least most of this one at a time.
*in no particular order*
50. Collect national dolls
 |
| I guess when you are a girl you tend to be raised by your parents playing dolls. The same holds true with me- a typical story actually but I grew fond of it finally wanting to have a collection of dolls from different countries.
I started collecting dolls at 2003 when I went to Thailand and continue
collecting up to present. So far, I have dolls from Thailand, China, Hong Kong,
Japan and Singapore however those dolls from China, Hong Kong and
Singapore looks almost the same. Moreover, I only bought miniature Japanese
dolls because the one with the normal doll size is too expensive. :(

| Taken last April 29, 2013 at Laiya, Batangas I never really imagined that I will be doing smores during our intern's outing. I sort of thought of doing it with family or relatives. Nonetheless, after cooking our barbeque and other meat my friends and I decided to make our own version of smores before having our late night bonding or kwentuhan. Fun and yummy!! |

| Taken last June 2012 at SJDH Blood bank I am on duty and a private patient of my consultant needed to undergo blood transfusion for her hemoglobin was 7 mg/dL already (Lowest acceptable hgb limit: 10 mg/dL). She's a Jehova and it was against their belief to undergo blood transfusion. She was persuaded by her partner to undergo transfusion since she might die if she continuously refuse. However, they can hardly find a blood donor thus a day had passed without her being transfused. Her attending physician was worried already and my senior resident tell the incident to me. I asked what her blood type is and since we have the same blood type I volunteered to donate. The donation was successful and she received the blood immediately after. Prior to discharge her hemoglobin was recorded at 12 mg/dL. |

| Taken last 2011 at RCBC Plaza, Ayala Avenue, Makati City I was fond of going to Ayala Makati for comfort and leisure. One of the memorable moments that I shared with Makati is when Rent was shown at RCBC Plaza 3 days prior to the start of my clerkship. It was a fun filled and relaxing day after all. |

 |
| September 19, 2013 at National Shrine of St. Jude Thaddeus I have attended a couple of thursday novenas on this church since 2009 but I was never able to complete it for 9 weeks ever. But today, on the same date of the Chinese MidAutumn Festival 2013, I was also able to complete the 9 week novena of National Shrine of St. Jude. Wee! :) Hopefully from this day forward I will be able to complete more 9 weeks novena. |
 |
| Taken last 2012 at Merlion Park, Singapore I have always wanted to visit Singapore because of its good publicity regarding its cleanliness and great science labs and work area. Being there is such a privileged- from their delicious spicy foods (chili crabs are so delicious), clean suburbs, well organized transport system (their subway trains and hop in- hop out buses are so efficient), high end automobiles up to their disciplined citizens, a Filipino will be amazed by how they managed to be great. I am so much thankful for my parents' provisions and considering Singapore as a destination of choice. I would definitely go back there someday. |

We are going to Coron, Palawan for a Medical Mission/R&R and since we cannot find a flight that is quite affordable for us we decided to take the ferry instead. Yey! We traveled for almost 24 hours and saw dolphins and other sea creatures along the way. Cool trip indeed. |

| Taken last 2005 at Calauit Safari Park, Palawan Our Palawan experience was definitely an experience for me. A lot of first time had happened.

| Photo taken last March 09, 2014 at Bonifacio High Street The British Embassy of Manila organized a 3 day event to showcase the different culture, traditions as well as land marks or historic places in Great Britain. One of their programs for the event is showing of British or British inspired films. Watching a movie in a park has been one of my most wanted bucket list since the M2M days; but although simple this is not usually done in the Philippines so it took me so long to tick it off. Finally!!! Lucky for me that a friend of mine invited me to go there and we are able to watch Notting Hill… I am just one happy kid. |
06. Ride an elephant in Thailand

| Taken last 2003 at Bangkok, Thailand Left photo: riding an tuktuk, Right photo: at Wah Phra Kaew Actually, I did not travel alone as in all by myself however, this tour was the first time that I traveled without my family, relatives or with any close friends.

So, alone+airplane+Thailand= happiness and experience. :) |
