not really a year end post

hi blogosphere! happppy new year! this is not really the usual lengthy year-end review i usually write when new year strikes, this is a quick post.

to cut it short, here : 

2012 highlight

JANUARY- I don't really remember what happened or what i did, oooh! it was thesis formulation time, nothing special really happened, except for the flourished love life i have way back. haha

FEBRUARY- my 19th bday or should i say, last "teen" bday. usual routines happened, academics and love life.

MARCH- i think i was cramming this time because our final exams were set too early for manufacturing internship. this is also the month i received the letter of US embassy about my scheduled interview. a mini get together also with high school buddies after a long time.

APRIL- holy week, my brother went home and we went to lake cebu. my love life was comatose, nearly meeting its death. april made me so nervous for the visa interview and medical examinations at st lukes, special mention the genitalia exam, the worst exam ever. the last week was a good one, i finally received my US visa and immediately bought my plane ticket to America.

MAY- may 3rd to be exact, i set my steps in America, first state? hawaii. it was such a wonderful blessing from above! having solo international flights, dealing and communicating with people in which language is a barrier, but well, i have overcome all of these. next stop was the sin city, las vegas nevada, had a quality time with my sister and her family. casinos and beautiful lights all over. los angeles was next! hollywood, disneyland, universal, all were great experiences. of course, the ooozing sa lamig, next stop? san francisco! of course with the famous golden gate bridge! so happy at the end, got my green card already, and this makes me a permanent citizen, 5 more years and i'm a dual citizen!

JUNE- busy buying gifts and pasalubong for the people back in Ph. i went to back to Ph for 1st semester, was busy preparing for thesis and academics. 

JULY- my last pharmacy acquaintance party where i did impersonation (lip synching Dr. jones) and placed 4th (out of 12!). i was also the team leader of group Lyra, we won the 3rd place overall (out of 12 groups) not bad at all, right?

AUGUST-SEPTEMBER- I don't really remember specific events here, i think i am still busy dealing with academics and thesis here.

OCTOBER- final exam, last intramurals, thesis defense in a week. i started my manufacturing duty at RDL. and i went back to Los angeles and las vegas for a new stamp in my visa. went "gaga" over shopping and spent $$$$$, the highest so far.

NOVEMBER- i went back to PH for 2nd semester. still dealing with academics and coping up on my absences in hospital and manufacturing duties.

DECEMBER- 3 weeks of  studying and coping up again in duty. last week? the best, i had my elementary, high school and college reunions, get together and Christmas parties, maybe a farewell party too? haha. we'll see.

2012 was the best year so far for me, the best part i can say, of course except having a wonderful family, was my trip to America. i thank You Lord for a great year! cheers for that. i always have You Lord, you never fail me. 2013? what's in you? graduation? pharmacy license? staying for good? we'll see. keep calm and enjoy the rides brought to you by 2013. love you!

ps: i thought this was a quick post, but it wasn't. i talk too much.

The Strip video/photo diary

hi. this video was uploaded in youtube, it contains memories of my las vegas' strip tour last sem break. how i  wish i could go back now to America and celebrate Christmas with mom and sister.

back in PH for 2nd sem

as you all know, i went back to LA and las vegas (fall season) for sembreak vacation (wow, feeling rich lang ang peg!) and to have a new stamp for my visa (which is the main reason why i went back). most of you who know for pleasure lang yung visit, pwedeng oo, pero yung totoo kasi hindi ako makakastay ng pinas for more than 6 months, kung sumobra, eh di good bye american dreams na ako. that's why all of my plans now are set in america, my job, my career, my future, my life. it will depend on me na on how i will achieve my goals, i think i have grown enough to think for myself and for my future. chos! iyfyou're a reader of this blog, i have posted articles about my solo flight travel to america. kung bakit takot na takot ako, yung pag-iiyak ko whole day basta ganun. yung second time na, wala ng takot, medyo kampante na rin ako na kering-keri ko na. although kinabahan pa rin ng konti kasi ano, haha. sikreto ko na yun. as usual, the filipino air carrier pa rin ako, Philippine airlines, ewan ko ba, gusto ko sana ng maraming stop overs para masaya, sayang yung korean air, stopover sana sa seoul, sana next time, kahit 2 stopovers of different countries na. hehe. kahit 22 hours travel pa, i can manage now my vertigo, kering keri yan ng bonamine ko.anyway, i'm back to PH for second sem, when this sem ends, goodbye SPC forever and goodbye philippines na rin, hindi ko alam kung for good na, pero alam kong uuwi pa rin ako to take the board exam. ewan ko ba kung ano pa ang pwedeng mangyari. basta ngayon, ako'y isang babaeng walang pahinga, everyday, i wake up at 5 am or 6am for school, review and duty and umuuwi ng 5-9pm. then matutulog ng before 11pm, then gising na naman, the usual routine. hay buhay, sige lang, konting tiis na lang. may ginhawa na.

dear blog,

1st semester of this academic year has just ended! this means, i'm done with my thesis defense and all academic stuffs! (final exams + thesis revision + defense + intramurals in a week) yes! but i still need to revise our thesis though. God knows what my thesis group went through, all the sacrifices, efforts, sleepless nights, they all paid off. anyway, i'll be busy again with my hospital duty at san pedro hospital and my manufacturing duty at RDL laboratories. then 23 days na lang, i'll be back somewhere else. heehee. here's a photo that i wanted to share online  but never will in facebook. haha. i've been trying to be sexy in this photo, but i know i'm still not sexy. and God knows how desperate i am to have a flat tummy, i'm no good in cutting off my meals, i simply go for a NO SODA DIET, 2 weeks of this diet stuff was the longest so far. i just can't avoid coke! uggggh.
