Taken last April 14, 2013 I actually do not know what is the exact location of this place;  all I know is that this is in Antipolo. This is very unexpected. We had our medical mission done in a nearby school and afterwards the organizers invite us to have some foods in their place. Never did we know that we have to go through a lot before reaching their location. VERY tiring but fun! (:

Taken last February 23, 2014 at EcoAdventure Park Loboc, Bohol I wanted to try this even before but I never had the chance. I am just so thankful that going to this adventure park was included in our itinerary. Yay! I am actually scared at first but I love it. I'll definitely try this again.

Taken last March 23, 2014 Finally able to watch the international pyromusical competition at SM Mall of Asia and in the VIP area... (: Plus, I felt so lucky to be able to watch Platinum Fireworks Inc. from the Philippines (winner of the pyromusical competition in Ottawa, Canada.) They performed their winning piece. Very entertaining! (: Plus, since what we watched was the closing ceremony they invite Sarah Geronimo to do a short performance which was unannounced. We are so lucky! (:

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 March 22, 2014 at Balara Elementary School I volunteered in an event in where the organizers taught the grade school students of Balara Elementary School on how to exercise. To end the event, they also taught the students and volunteers how to do Zumba and Salsa. Great event indeed! (: A. Photo while dancing Zumba. I encircled myself because I'm so small in the photo. Photo courtesy of the organizer of the event. B. Photo with the 2 kids assigned to me, Mica and Ella. Both were grade 5 students but on different section. So cool kids. They enjoyed the event. Both were so game with the activities. (:

Taken last March 24, 2014 at SM Mall of Asia, Seaside Sunset is love!!! (: I have seen a lot of sunset but this is the first time that I was able to document it. (: I look like Elphaba of Wicked (green person) in my selfie with the sunset... (:

Taken last October 2012 at San Narciso, Zambales My friends and I had our vacation. We purchased a promo vacation tour which included free surfing classes for an hour for 2 days. I may not be very good with this sport... But I enjoyed it a lot! :D

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.

Taken last Summer 2009 at Super Ferry Woot! Woot! First time! 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. Aside from my first time riding a ferry; it also gave me the chance of feeding a giraffe and having a photo near a zebra. We also visited the island where Survivor Philippines was taped and climbed a mountain (another first time) as well.

Taken last 2008 at Osaka, Japan My thesis partner and I went to Japan to represent our thesis at the poster presentation in the 22nd Asean Association of Biological Education.  We also meet Blythe's sister who tour us around Japan.

I just gave a card to a friend who inspire me before his graduation last 2007

Circa 2007. Oh well... Those were the days. ... but I hope I'll be able to fulfill this bucket list item again sometime... I'll document it better. (:

Taken last 2013 at Manila Hotel White roses bouquet given by my orgmates.  Not only did my orgmates helped me tick this off my bucket list,  they also successfully surprise me. Thank you very much!

September 15, 2013 at SM Mall of Asia Arena This is indeed a momentous moment for me. Having been able to cheer for my alma mater and do it with my two best buds. I am indeed a very happy and lucky lady.

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.

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. I went to Bangkok to join a lakbay-aral program of our school and since this is my first trip abroad- this is also my first ride in an airplane. So, alone+airplane+Thailand= happiness and experience. :)
