Our team was fortunate to snatch a couple of hours from our off-duty day that we decided to have a walk around the walled city – Intramuros. If I remembered correctly, it was 2013 when I last toured the city… it was very nostalgic to feel the warmth of the city again — it’s air, […]
End of Surgery Rotation as a Clerk
Definitely enjoyed surgery rotation so much and learned a LOT from both inside and outside rotations around the OPD, ICU, Ward, SICU, ER, ward and OR posts. I never thought I could do so much for a short span of time in the ER with nonstop waves of cases coming in! From burns, lacerations, gunshot […]
First Surgical Assist as a Clerk
First Rotation: Surgery Today, I was able to assist in an AV fistula formation procedure in my surgery rotation together with two of the eminent surgeons of the institute. I never had any experience in the real operating room set-up before since that wasn’t part of the curriculum I had in my undergrad years. But, […]
Mangan Tamu at Mangan SM North Edsa
I seldom go to any Filipino restaurants primarily because I’d prefer my mom’s best cooking for real home-cooked dishes, but Mangan Restaurant caught my attention for their affordable and scrumptious dishes that prick into the soul in every bite. The picture above was our so-called ‘first-love’ dish — Salmon Belly, Sinigang na Miso. The restaurant’s ambiance […]
Happy Treats from Japan
In time for the 15th anniversary of Universal Studios Japan, beau gave me this really cute box of surprise!! I’m a huge fan of anything cute and childlike and this made me reminisce my childhood hihi. Once opened, I was heralded with a funny take on a “springbox” with the 4 characters featured: Snoopy, Minions, […]
Previously: Weekend Treats and BORDER Jdorama
Last Friday, I had to go back and forth from Quezon City to Manila City for some tasks by myself. It was kinda nostalgic for me since I used to go in my college via Manila route. When I entered Medschool, I had an opposite path to travel. So, I guess I’m getting the best […]
Everyday Makeup of a Clinical Clerk
I’ll now be on my clinical clerkship this year! I have one month to prepare for this and one of the “preps” I’ve made sure of is my everyday makeup routine to keep a sane look despite the challenging, gonna-be action-packed, no-certainty-of-what-would-happen-next environment in the field. Face. The moment I knew about Belo’s new product line […]
First Week of May Blast!
So how did my birth-week go? May 1: Feast of Saint Joseph the WorkerEvery year we celebrate St. Joseph the worker’s feast in our village. Had to wake up early and help out in the usual kitchen preparations by mom, the best cook ever! Thankful to God for the bountiful blessings He has showered upon […]
Ally’s All-day Breakfast, Fairview Branch
Started this day early to take care of some papers as we get into our transition stage from third year to our final year as clinical clerks. After a hard day’s work, we decided to try Ally’s All-day Breakfast 2nd branch here along Pontiac Street, Fairview, Quezon City. The hot weather has taken its toll […]
Blessed At 24
Ang bilis ng panahon! (Time fleets fast!) I’m already twenty-four! I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who greeted me and reminded me that despite the shortcomings that come with being a human being, I’m still a person who is deserving to be loved by most if not all. I know that when […]
