One Reason

there will always be a reason to be happy

May 25, 2017 • ever wonder why you meet someone at the most inconvenient time and instantly you click? How, every time you talk to each other, you feel light and happy. You have so much in common, you have the same likes and dislikes, hobbies and interests. Yet, the timing is off and people around you don't know the connection you both have for each other. I treasure such friendship, secretly wanting for it to grow into something more. But its wrong, why does it right? I just wish it was not this way, i wish i was not stuck inside this box wanting to get out.

April 17-21, 2017 • yup, i definitely have been busy. I feel sad and bad for not being able to write everyday. But this week has been the most tiring yet fulfilling week! My first (and last) ever to campaign. I'm currently running for a position in the CPS Executive Board. I was never into politics. In fact, i hated it. I hate how people ruin others for their benefit, or for them to able to secure a position. I ran because i wanted to be part in helping and organizing events for the students. (Clin phar students particularly). I have been the assistant secretary and all i can say it yes, its stressful to be running errands, doing things aside from acads and the like. But i liked the stress. It gives me purpose. It makes me feel like i have purpose, and i'm doing these things for the benefit of others. I really am not popular and all but i feel blessed and overwhelmed that people support me. The simple sharing of my posts, tweets and photos means alot to me already. I feel happy, blessed, and scared. This journey is so out of my comfort zone yet i'm glad i took it. I met alot of people, people who are willing to help genuinely. So i'm so blessed. :)

April 11, 2017 • today was a good day! so my parents and my lil sis and I went to the St. Paul Vigil House to visit Sister Fe. We visit here on random occasions just to see her and eat pizza (yes pizza, its a constant thing that we bring yellowcab pizza) and just chat with her. Usually its my dad who talks to her since they talk in ilocano. She's 97 years old and still strong. She would always say "my spirit still wants but my body is weak" but for me, she's physically strong. Compared to most 90+ yr old women. Anyway, i'm glad she's still happy and strong and i always feel blessed every time we visit her. :)

March 21, 2017 - so, i literally spent the whole day here in my condo. My favorite person came around 7 am and we both just slept till around 9:30 (Since his class starts at 10) then i slept again when he left (lol) then i woke up to his text saying he brought me food for lunch and he came over to have lunch with me. He also cooked me some corned beef, and he was also the one to clean up. wow! this guy. anyway, he left around 1pm and i started with my school work. (which i’m still doing until now because its hard) Its a case analysis on breast cancer and we have to create a pharmacotherapy plan on the case of the patient. Anyway, around 4pm i got hungry and guess what, He surprised me with some cheesy potatoes! Cheese + potatoes are both my favorite! How did i get so lucky? lol then around 6pm i had dinner with my friend at our favorite siomai place, then i went back to my place after to continue with my school work. So yup, basically i was a semi productive bum (what) haha!

March 20, 2017 - Today was fun! i was able to answer my quizzes correctly. Although downside was i failed in my SCL and hethics exam. But my grades were okay. Hopefully i get to bawi them in the next shiftings. My morning was good because niell brought me breakfast! And during our theology class, we talked about love. It was interesting and it made me think about the love i give to people. it made me think if i really am in love. (lol so deep) haha! then right after that, my friend, Kat, told us she will treat us drinks because of her successful event. So we did, i ended up getting really tipsy because i drank almost half of the pitcher to myself. It was the good kind of tipsy though! Then after that we went to (you guessed it) Jollibee!!!! the best “after inom” food in the world. It was fun because we were all happy and tipsy so we were just laughing.

March 19, 2017 - today was an ordinary day (compared to that jam packed week i had) I just stayed at home and studied. Then went to church, then went back to my condo near my school. Pretty much an ordinary day but i feel blessed to have spent it with my family

March 18, 2017 - so today, around 4 in the afternoon, i decided to drive to greenfield to study at cafe breton. I had my favorite mango crepe and some good iced coffee. Then my friend called me to say that my senior EB will treat us some beer.  So i went to the beer place and made chika. Actually i didnt even drink, i just went there to have some good old chika sesh with my seniors and my friends. It was nice! Then my friends (pj and carl) and I went to jollibee to have the best chicken joy in the world. I went home around 1am, and to my surprise, both my sisters werent home yet! lol

March 17, 2017 - Okay, so i was “puyat” from last night but that didn’t stop me from waking up early! Today is our scheduled interview for the Study abroad program in Canada! I was number 18 in the interview and we didn’t really get nervous cause we were just making chika about what happened the night before. Anyway, to cut things short, I got in! I was chosen to be part of the study abroad program! hooray! The only problem i have is now is i hope it pushes through. Right after the interview, my dad picked me up and we both went home. Around 4:30pm i went to the legend villas to have this dinner with mom and her friends. It was kinda annoying because they were all “titas” and i didnt really have any purpose. And my scheduled movie date with my favorite person got cancelled because we wouldnt make it in time. So there.

March 16, 2017 - I woke up late which was the best thing ever. Lol kidding. So today is Kat’s project entitled Illuminate: a prologue to clinical pharmacy program. I was the assigned host for that event! It was fun actually although hosting is really not my forte. I love how the 3rd year students stayed because they want to take up clinical pharmacy. It made me realize that this program is one of a kind and i’m blessed to be part of it. after the event, i watched the pharmacy professors play volleyball just for a short while. Then i went to the medicine auditorium to watch my friend perform at the dance troupe concert. It was fun and we enjoyed! The plan to go get out to have a drink was cancelled .. which made me sad lol so i just ended up sleeping. Then i woke up at 4 in the morning because it was too cold. And my oh my, it was a blessing. I checked my phone only to see my friend texting me that he needed someone to pick him up because he was with drunk people already. It was my first time to take a grab taxi alone, at 4 in the morning, to pick someone up. It was scary and i honestly didnt know where i got the courage to do that but i did. And im glad i did because he would be in big trouble if i didnt!

March 15, 2017 - Second day of our Clinic Fair 2017! This time, it wasn’t that hot so we really enjoyed! We went around the booths and enjoyed the games. i was assigned at the profiling so we interviewed patients and got their demographics! The funny part of the clinic fair was Mari was there. He’s a med student who used to message me before and asks me to have dinner with him! He said hi in the most funny way! anyway, i’m really happy that the pediatric care clinic won 2nd place at the best booth award! hooray! And also, i’m so proud because the clinic fair was indeed a success! So right after that, i went to my condo to rest. Then we went to Tapsi again to drink (LOL) I kinda got tipsy though. after tapsi, we went to mcdo pnoval to get some food. baby boy went there to check if we were there and guess what.. he bought us fries! lol i was really craving for mcdo fries that time and im so happy he treated us fries! They walked me home and we all went to sleep

March 14, 2017 - Today is our 2 day Clinic Fair event! But before i went to the clinic fair to help set up the booths, I went to the Purple ribbon awards! I was so shocked cause i was awarded second during the special awards. I didn’t know i had an award at the special awards! lol. It was a group award actually, it was because we won first place at the DOH contest. But my group was not aware as well so it was only me who went up the stage to claim the award! I also got an award for best organization (CPS) together with my CPS family. Then, lastly i was awarded for being a Dean’s lister last semester! So, yup i felt happy! Afterwards, i went to the clinic fair! BOY WAS IT SO HOT. LIKE LITERALLY SO. HOT. I was sweaty and haggard all throughout LOL. But the first day of the clinic fair went well! Right after the clinic fair, i went straight to my condo to take a coooold shower. LOOOOOL. Then i went to the TPAA coronation night! It was fun, i was shouting and all but the results were disappointing. Not gonna say anything here but the results did not live up to ALL our expectations. Anyway because of that, my friends and I went out to drink. ALCOHOL IS ALWAYS THE ANSWER! ha ha ha. We went to tapsi to drink, then to acoustica to drink again. Then something funny happened .. “baby boy” messaged me on fb! lol because i was not able to watch the basketball game and so he messaged me! haha funny. We ended up talking till 3 or 4 in the morning, i was kinda tipsy then. Then some random guy messaged me as well saying i was pretty and all. IDK WHY IT ALL HAPPENED IN ONE NIGHT! but it was hilarious.

March 13, 2017 - First day of the much awaited, Pharmaweek 2017! Well, it wasnt that special for our block since we didn’t attend the PHArade! Lol. But it was nice to see the blocks that prepared for the said parade. They were so cute! 

[beyondthankful-blog]

March 12, 2017 - HOORAH! Big day for the Clinical Pharmacy Society! Today’s the much awaited LACE UP: Splashfest! Its the org’s annual fun run event and this year all proceeds go to buy wheelchairs for people who needs them! how lovely and giving is that? anyway, i woke up early because i was part of the staff. We set up the place, fixed the bags, and organized everything. It was definitely tiring. I was so tired legit but it was all worth it. I’m glad the people who joined enjoyed the event we prepared for them!

March 11, 2017 - so today, i decided to go to the mall by myself. I actually don’t know why lol but i did. I literally just roamed around the mall alone and ended up eating this delicious bagel with salmon, cream cheese, toasted capers and avocados + avocado shake at Sunnies Cafe. It actually feels nice to be alone and to eat alone! you get to think straight! and afterwards, my dad picked me up and went straight to roxy’s place to get tickets!

March 10, 2017 • today was a good yet tiring today. my favorite person came to visit me, and we ended up sleeping beside each other till 10am. It was a good sleep + waking up next to such an adorable face is the best. Then he brought me back home and we had lunch! And he played PS4 while i slept. Lol such a sleepyhead. I just love spending time with him. Then right after, i went to school to help out in repacking the lace up kits for our annual fun run. It was fun yet tiring! Then Pj, Carl and I had our chika sesh over pizza at yellowcab!

March 9, 2017 • so, we didn't have any classes but i had to go to school to run some errands and attend meetings. It was tiring + i got my period lol. So i literally slept the whole afternoon right after i finished all the things i have to do. Then my friend Pj, got sad and he asked me if i can come with him to have dinner. So i did. Then our friend, carl, came over too! We ended up getting a bottle of beer before going home. :)
