it's the time of the year again to make year end blogs. shempre kasi end of the year 2009 na bukas. hehe. and because i love to blog, i'll make my own year end blog:)) 2009 has been a major year for me. A lot of things has happened and there were a lot of changes. Some of the changes were for the better while some of the consequences of these changes are yet to be determined. Sometimes i see 2009 as a sad year, considering that two of my aunts passed away this year plus the different calamities and tragedies that our country has faced and is facing. But looking back, i find myself losing count of the many blessings that my family and I have received this year and I can't help but be thankful to Him for the year that is soon to end.  My brother said, that dapat daw new year celebration for 2010 should be grand. kasi it has been a decade since the year 2000th. may point may point:)  madami na namang paputok bukas ng gabi. *sigh* i don't like firecrackers talaga. T...

Since i can't remember when, Christmas is always celebrated here in the province. If i remember it right, even before we had our own place here, we always visit our grandparents from both sides every Christmas. When we already transferred here in Mindoro and had our own place, our Christmas starts early. Usually after my birthday, Christmas decors and the Christmas tree will be set up. We always do our best to attend the midnight mass. My brother is able to complete simbang gabi for nine years already. I don't think I've completed it for nine straight years but I was able to complete it this year. hooray for that!:)  When I was already in high school and up to now, I always go home during the holidays.  Christmas party of hospital employees usually happen on the 23rd or 22nd of December where there will be games and more gift giving.  Christmas eve is always celebrated by first watching the panuluyan presentation at church. I was once a part of the presentation when I wa...

This date last year, i posted something cheesy. funny how a lot of things have changed in a short time.  no, this will not be an emo entry. i hope so. haha.  this date will always be a day of celebration:) that emo-ness should not be an option. :)) *** im back here in Mindoro:) will be staying here till January 3 since my brother already has class on the 4th.  plus, i need to apply for ateneo med school and work:) *** staying here always make me feel happy. loved and pampered. XP i now feel the christmas spirit more. :) especially since, tomorrow will be the 9th morning of simbang gabi:) plus, yesterday was such a happy day for facilitating party games for the staff and employees of roxas district hospital. :) it was also the christmas party of smart shell and we had dinner there:))  *** magtatagalog muna ako. haha. ikukuwento ko ang pageevolve ko simula nung friday. bumabata ata ako. haha.  FRIDAY (mall. nagfifit ako ng damit para gift sa kin ni mama.) mam...

i promised myself that id write a blog before i go to sleep tonight :) but because i already packed my laptop, im giving myself a hard time by blogging through my itouch :)) tomorrow morning is our 6th midnight mass :) then we'd be travelling back to roxas :) even though i only go home during free summer breaks and christmas for the past almost 9 years, i still consider the place as my real home :) christmas wont be the same if we do not attend mass there, if we do not watch the panuluyan, have noche buena in our house, open presents on christmas eve or in the morning after mass, attend christmas day mass and spend christmas together as a family :) for me, christmas is all about being with the people you love and care for. i know id feel the christmas spirit more once im back in the province:) im actually excited :)) plus i know, id be able to forget some things when im there and just be happy and enjoy the holidays :) hopefully :) help us pray to have a safe trip tomorrow :) blogg...

it has been 6 months since i graduated with a bs chemistry degree it has been 1 month and 18 days since i became single it has been 1 month and 11 days since i took the chemistry board exam  it has been 1 month and 8 days since i found out that i passed the chemistry board exam  it has been 3 days since my first ever job interview  it has been 3 days since i found out that id be working starting tomorrow.  it has been 2 days since i took my oath as a chemist it has been 2 days since i was inducted to be part of the Integrated Chemists of the Philippines it was just yesterday that i heard fulfilled chemists talk about the career paths that they have chosen, hoping that the things they shared would help us decide on the kind of future that we want.  a lot of things happened and  i am still very confused on what i want to do with my life.  after graduation my main goal was to pass the board exam.  after passing the board exam my main goal was to fin...

i just cant find the proper description for the weekend that i had. i know i'm more fortunate than most people. but i just feel like sharing the experience. cause yes, they really do happen. FRIDAY i decided to stay at my cousin's house last friday night in pasig. there would be a birthday celebration for our 5 year old cousin by saturday. i figured that ortigas extension is nearer taytay rizal than boni. had bonding moments with ate erik <3 SATURDAY ate erik and tita nol went out of the house at around 8:30 am for ate erik's class. woke up at around 11:30 am. my cousin told me that "ate baka pumasok ung tubig sa bahay" started piling up things. at around 12 nn the water started coming in. everything was so fast. we were so busy preventing everything from getting wet the water was rising really fast. ankle - knees - waist sort of panicking cause everything started floating. we decided to go out of the house and started getting as much things as we can. th...

At first i thought that the five months after graduation were the hardest months of my life. I finished college but i need to focus on reviewing for the board exam, which is really difficult considering my very short attention span for my beloved chemistry subjects. There's stress in studying, dealing with the requirements of the review center, applying for the board exam, the exam itself and of course, waiting for the results. Thank God I passed. Passing the chemistry licensure exam, apart from the pride and thought of accomplishing something at a very young age, gave me the true fulfillment of having a BS Chemistry degree. Now i sort of have the legal permission to apply whatever knowledge and techniques that i have learned in the four years of studying chem and apply whatever life lessons i gained in the 20 years of my existence for whatever type of real world that is waiting for me. Now i can say that i've really reached the finish line for college education and soon the ...

*cause we're happy and creative people. haha. we found the perfect thesis song! haha.* okay hindi lahat nung lyrics. haha. pero nakakatawa pa rin siya kanina nung kinakanta namin sa videoke. haha. (see parentheses) :D Pieces of Me (Thesis of Me) Ashlee Simpson (Anne, Me-An, OG) On a Monday, I am waiting (for the draft) Tuesday, I am fading (di nagpapakita si sir) And by Wednesday, I can't sleep (still because of the draft :P) Then the phone rings, I hear you (ate loids (RA ni sir) calls) And the darkness is a clear view (andyan na ang liwanag.) Cuz you've come to rescue me (na-edit na ni sir :P) Fall... With you, I fall so fast (mabilis madown sa expts at lab things :P) I can hardly catch my breath, I hope it lasts [Chorus:] Ohhhhh It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real (sir is really someone we can count on :P) I like the way that feels (masaya ang feeling na may direction kang pinupuntahan through his guidance:P) Ohhhhh It's as if y...

i was a messenger last tuesday for my mom. she asked me to whisper a message to my tita. and just this afternoon, while i was in the lab for thesis, my mother texted me that tita lita is gone. it was quite expected, since this has been her third time in the past 3 months to be hospitalized. her third time that transfusion is needed. and of the three times, maybe this was the worst. *** she has given a lot to others. to her parents, her siblings and to us, her nephews and nieces. i was able to live with her for three years during high school and i have a lot of things to thank her for. I'm not that sure if she knows how grateful i am that i was able to stay with her during those times. looking back i would not have chosen any other place to stay for high school apart from hers. no matter how far paranaque may be in manila. i would never forget the mornings where she would wake up early too since i need to be at school early and she would stay late in pnu since our classe...

POLYMERIZATION (ung dapat ko kasing gagawin kapag tumino ung gc peaks ko at lumabas ang expected results ...
