This is our new Pedo Patient - Yoomee. New, because our first patient went goners.
Long story.
Plus I shall make a separate post about clinics!


December 8
Finally tried out the Butterbeer Frappe!
Turned out that it was only not sure if vanilla frappe with caramel syrup add on.
For the love of Harry Potter, yeah.

December 11
There is some kind of Colgate promotion event at school that we were required to attend. At the end of the event, the host asked questions for us to answer and for us to win 5 packs of Colgate products (mouthwash, toothbrush, toothpaste). Due to peer pressure of these friends in the picture, I ran fast to answer a question that made me win those 5 packs LOL. Good thing we were 5 at the moment, no need to argue to whom I will share the prizes :))

Alex aka Miming posing in front of the Aeropostale store.
They send me to condo every Sunday so I can stay there already since it's extremely difficult to commute to Manila on Mondays.

December 16
Our batch was assigned with the College lantern for the lantern parade. This pic depicts some of us working for the lantern. It was never all of us who worked, it's always those who only cared. That has been the batch's problem since day 1.
We worked almost a week for the lantern but on this day, some worked overnight (including me) because of cramming since the parade's on the next day.
I am really glad we finished even if only 10 people worked overnight.

December 17
This is during the Dent Christmas Party. I felt girly (thanks to my top) and ugly (due to the overnight working on the lantern) at the same time.
This year's Christmas Party is very simple, lunch was packed and the atmosphere is not that Christmassy. But I understand that it should not be celebrated over the top since what happened to Tacloban was really tragic.

2nd pic: Lantern broad daylight
3rd pic: Lantern at night

It was our (my friends and I) first time to finish the lantern parade program since we started studying in UP which was 4 years ago. Our lantern did not win but at least we were satisfied with it. We, however, won the "Most Colorful" at least :)

At the parade proper I kinda feel sad because the faces around me are unfamiliar anymore. The seniors we were familiar with since the beginning have already graduated. I'm currently in 5th year so definitely a lot are younger than me already and most of them we rarely or never have seen in the college yet. Nonetheless, everyone was actively participating by dancing and chanting out loud in the parade.

My friends and I (we call ourselves Wolfpack) have planned ahead to what we shall do on our own Christmas get-together. Because last year we ate saved up and ate at Yakimix. We are poor. This time we decided to have sleepover at my condo the night after lantern parade and watch movies and eat. The next day we went to Star City.

I am a scaredy-cat when it comes to rides but i have managed to ride at the Viking. LOL. Money is really wasted when I go to theme parks. Like when we went to Universal Studio and Disneyland last 2 years ago.

We are 9 in the group but actually before we came as one we came from 3 different groups. I really love our pack but I guess I should make a special Wolfpack appreciation post. Next time then. :D









December 21
We are never home on a weekend. LOL
We shopped a little for gifts at SM North Edsa and my cousin and brother were hunting for a certain shoe. At the end of the day, they don't want to go home yet so we planned to go to see the lights show at Ayala Triangle but we were caught up at a huge EDSA traffic so we U-turned and ended up at Centris Walk. We found the shoe they were looking for there but too bad my cousin has already bought and that the shop was already closed the time we arrived. Booo!
December 23
Us 5 in the picture went for a road trip to S&R Pampanga. Well, actually, the day before, we have gone to S&R Congressional. It was my first time at Congressional and it was a lot smaller than Pampanga plus it was jam packed with busy buyers. Anyway, we went the next day to Pampanga because my brother wanted to give his girlfriend's family a cake and he wanted to look for a gift for his girlfriend. We ended up buying a lot for us to feast. We ate pizza and ice cream after at the back of our car after shopping. We continue our joyride to the Nike Factory Outlet at a gasoline stop on our way home. Good thing, my brother and I already know how to drive. Hehe.
December 24
We spent the Christmas Eve at Hagonoy. I really love it there. It will always have a special place in my heart.
Our simple Christmas Tree! I've opted for this design because i don't want to see those big blue and orange flowers design on our tree again and I'm left with those small white flowers. I take the responsibility every year to decorate our tree and wrap the gifts.
The second pic is my attempt to do a heart bokeh shot. I kinda succeeded but the heart still looks imperfect. well, at least -_-


December 25 
This Christmas is different because we neither spend it at Hagonoy nor on our residence. We spent it at Park Place in some village in Cavite. The place is huge and beautiful plus you can do a lot of recreational activities. Some of younger cousins swam, while the older ones sang along karaoke, played table tennis and played on the playground above. I really missed table tennis so, so what if I'm wearing a dress and flats, I still played. LOL. The gift giving and party games started at 3pm. It was a fun fun day just like  every Chrismas <3 p="">
We went to Tagaytay after to visit the Sky Ranch but ended up stuck in traffic and arrived there almost 10pm so nothing happened. T_T


My cousin's iPad mini was set-up to act as Photo Booth and a great great app was used. It can detect a hand wave for the camera to start capturing. Shots here are still nice until....

 We always ended up pushing and blocking one another on photobooths! We are big crazy family like that LOL

Happy Holidays everyone! May we all find peace and happiness :>

I finally made it to the clinics!!! huhuhu thank You Lord!!! I am nothing without You!

I just want to pass everything and be a clinician next sem. Lord, help.

Happy 57th birthday, Daddy!

Thank you for providing us technically everything. From basic needs to stuff we do not need.

I hope I find a partner in life in the future who is someone like you. Someone who works so hard for the sake of his family. Someone who can sacrifice his own happiness just to provide for his family. Someone who loves his wife and children unconditionally. Someone who supports their children through their fights and hardships. Someone who works so hard for the future of his family. Someone who can set good example for his children. Someone who loves writing a letter. Someone who is intelligent.

I am so blessed to have you as my father. I hope you feel the same way about us and I can't wait for the time to come and make you really really proud of me.

I am always praying to God that you'll be always safe, healthy and happy. I really care for your happiness, dad, because you've sacrificed a lot even when you're still young.

I may not be a sweet daughter and I oftentimes don't talk to you but I really love you. I am just like this. I am always like this not a showy type of person.

I hope we can more understand our differences. I love you daddy!

The longer I stay in Dent(istry), the smaller I see money's value. It's just we spend a lot of money every week for our dental materials and other lab stuff that we get used to it. When I was in 1st year proper I get hinayang spending 1k worth of materials but now, I consider 1k cheap and above it expensive LOL.

Funny is how Dent also made us envious of another person's stuff, like tool boxes, scrubs and other cool dent stuff. We all wanted something amazing and efficient to use LOL.

Also, I know it's bad but I tend to reward myself with anything because I feel that everything we do in Dent is stressful and definitely difficult. I know for sure this not only applies to me but also to my classmates.

I really hope that Dentistry is an investment my classmates and I can all win.

And after the 4-week exams, we finally get to rest next week. Yehey! Time to catch up some Zzzzzzz :)

We got to wear scrubs because it is required in our Perio 2 Lab. [Yes, I'm so thin huhu]

We scaled the pig's teeth which was very hard and tiring! I was not able to remove every deposit in the pig's mouth given the 1 hour period. Well, whatever, so much for the effort and trial.

We actually had three labs that day. Technically, we have three labs on Thursdays. We are so dead. /wrist

June 16: We celebrated Father's day at The Pancake House even though our fathers are not present. LOL.

It has been my longest 1st week of school in my entire life.

2. Waited in line to get id sticker
3. Walked from my college (Pedro Gil) to OUR (Padre Faura) and vice versa
4. Waited in line to have my teeth specimen checked
5. Waited in line to have my teeth specimen be radiographed and developed
6. Waited for hours of lecture to finish
7. Stuck in traffic in a jeep to buy materials in Quiapo
8. Looked for dental materials in different stores
9. Carved an amalgam for a CAR which took me very long
10. Made a wax pattern (even if we cheated using putty, we still carved a lot.
11. Woke up early everyday
12. Got wet in the rain
13. Perspired a lot due to weather

17. Worried a lot for my future this 1st sem.
18. It was Independence day and we were having a resto party. /sad

God is so good. He indirectly answered my prayers just after maybe 3 days. It's really funny.

Thank You, Lord for letting me experience some things.

After 12423523 years, I have finally updated my songs hehe. I love both old and new songs.

P.S. Semester starts on June 10. If only not for my new bag, I wouldn't want to go to school anymore. LOL.  

I am, especially when mind's unoccupied, feeling sad with things going on around me with no apparent reason.

I, most of the time feel that I am missing out on life. Missing out on normal things other people do and experience at each stage of their lives.

Maybe I have expected too much.

But I want to experience those norms.

I am the kind of person who always wants to explore new food establishments. Maybe I am a sucker for something good to eat. Lately, we've been fed up from pizzas, spaghettis and the likes, so we really refrain as much as possible to eat them.

One time we were about to go home from SM North Edsa, en route to carpark we passed by The Block and this Lugang Cafe caught my eye because on their window you can see how the cook make the dough for their siomai really repeatedly fast. It really was amazing and so I said to myself that we shall eat there someday.

Someday came, my mom and I went to SM for unknown reason and I ended up asking my mom to eat at the cafe. My mom is always ups with this stupid food trip activity of mine and so we eat there. Thanks a lot, Mom!

This is basically what my mother has been doing to us since the day my brother and I born. I can't thank her enough for keeping up with us all those years. I love you mum! Please don't give up on us.

I suddenly have decided to clean up my bookshelf. And i have been thinking for the longest time to post about my books so here it is.

This year, we spent our Holy Week in Baler, Aurora. It's our first time in Baler and Baler has not let us down.
We left our house at around 12 midnight. En route to Cabanatuan we were caught into a heavy traffic courtesy of two broken trucks with the right timing. We then changed our route, making our short way long. Ugh.
We then finally got to Cabanatuan. We stopped at Mcdo Cabanatuan for a very early breakfast. As you can see it is still very dark. Where else can you see a McDelivery trike huh? :)

On this day, last 4 years ago, is the luckiest day of my life. I’ll be forever thankful Lord for this second life :D 

Grumaduate din kaya ako! Sa FPD nga lang :)) Although I bet the feeling is the same, Heaven!

Let's see if i can blog again

How i wish this has something to do with my life LOL

This photo was taken at Baguio 1997, back when I was 5, my brother's 3 or 4 and my cousin Mikhail was 1.
This photo made me realize that at the age of 5, I was already a full-time ate. Ha! Look at me sitting baby Mikhail on my lap! Lo and behold I am for 17 years straight being on ate duties of my cousins younger than me. Funny, how I can talk with authority when I am scolding or leading them. No worries, I do not abuse it LOL. They on other hand tend to follow and respect me. I can feel that they care for me which is really awesome.
I was a matured kid ever since.
