BUTTERFLY

i love the yellow blend of this butterfly-to-be.

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further.
So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon.
The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings.
The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.
Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.
What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If God allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us.

We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never fly!

Ive been reading this maybe around 5th time.And is one of my favorite inspiring stories.It allows me to thank the things that crippled me and brings the best in me .:))

rule # 40

As an amateur in this blogging world,i tend to read articles related to blogging. And the 40th tip strucked  on my way! :))

REBEL:Break the rules, go against the flow, zig when others tell you to zag, do your own thing your own way.

HAUNTED!

Last night,ive been insiduosly dreaming of my favorite(opposite) subject ALGEBRA. It was quiz time and whoa,i got 0,because im busy for some stuffs outside the classroom.Thanks to ANA (a friend in real life),binigay nya yung solution paper nya for me to copy..But time is up.Wala pako nausulat sa 1/4 sheet of paper ko.Wondering kung kasya yung 1/4 for 20 numbers.hahahahah!Ive been erasing for how many times,that's why i passed a clean paper for my algebra subject.Paggising ko,i said,HAY,buti na lang pananaginip lang yun."

i love math.i love algebra.Problem is,it doesn't love me back.SADLY.:((

off dates

OFF!the most awaited word for the week.I got it yesterday.Me,Mark,Ming (my cousin)watching ONE MORE CHANCe for the nth time.:))

TV: Minsan kelangan ng breakup for the both of you to grow.

ME: Mark,narinig mo yun,kelangan ng BREAK-UP para mag grow.Break na kasi tayo.

MARK: HINDI na ko tatangkad.

MING:hahahahahahah

:D

:(

I was kindda disappointed yesterday.We were planning a week ago to have a peek to the so called balloon parade of BGC(Bonigacio Global City).It was my off and it was perfect to unwind,but the rain is unstoppable though.But maybe around 6 pm it stopped,and we till mananged to have a walked around serendra.We saw amazing balloons like this.:))

LABLIFE

I am  a Medical Laboratory scientist(yes,SCIENTIST ako,,hahahahah!) popularly known as a medical technologist.Health professionals who are so unknown in the healthcare profession yet played a major role in the diagnosis.Actually,i wont like to practice the profession,i want it as my premed.Sad news,i wasn't able to purasue med school though i badly want to be called as DOCTORA someday.But recently I find my profession,as a challenging one.:))

Before you'll get the most rewarding 3 letters (RMT:REGISTERED MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIST),its partly hard work mixed with a prayer. College had been so tough with.Sleepless nights and big eye bags..grrr!

Since Im lucky and  determined enough,ive been a workaholic medical technologist.Jumping the page of books and putting intoexperience.those colorful cells,bacteria,parasite from books won't look exactly alike under microscope.It's freakin brillant mind you need to be that super medtech!But i love our  machines too.one click,results were there.But nothing beats the manual thing!

Its just popping into that binoculars known as microscope all day is my job.Youll see the unseen and that;s amazing,counting every bacteria and even identifying the.Counting cells and differentiating them.And of course correlating the details.Not just that body that works,MOSTLY its the MIND!(That's why i love to be one of those four above)

The most challenging part of my work is to identify bacteria.hahahahah.To differentiate every single,blurred details you saw under the microscope.I hate identifying amoeba(between E.histolytica  and E.coli.)

I had the most enriched LABLIFE! AS a medical technolsist being challenged with the unseen,I ENJOY MY CAREER and Im happy that im destined for it.:))

big smile :D

"When it rains,it pours talga."God has been so good to me.He knew it even if im not asking for it.Im so much blessed.i had a supportive family(who never fails to remind me that i got them!),bunch of friends(of course the true ones:)),career(as a medical technologist..a challenging one!),lovelife(for giving Mark to my life)..

incredibly thankful..much!

the best feeling in the world...

"THANK YOU ,ANAK" This phrase keep resounding in my head..This is the most heart-melting phrase i got from my mama this morning.ANSARAP ng feeling! I gave my mama may sahod for my brother's tuition fee.I spend my bonus for my brother's school supplies..I hope i have more ,to give more..God has been so good to me!He let me live my deams ..At isa isa ko ng nagagawa ang mga nasa wish list ko! :))

siyempre my ever favorite motto,family first before mine.:))

i want..

 I badly want this kind of room.grrrrr!

TWICE A WEEK

Just this week,I moved twice to my new apartment.From mangga st,to sampaloc st room B to room C..Nakakapagod maglipattt..Yet im grateful.. mama,mommy,tito,ming ang mark were around to make it lot bearable.Now,Im in a green room (feeling like an environmentalist..heheheh)Maybe much better this time having my cousin around(will spend college here in makati and my buddy for the next 2 years)..

I had my sound sleep hours ago in my new green room! :D

UNDECIDED

This picture made me think..Am i a REALIST OR AN OPTIMIST? Still undecided.

i just..

Last week,Mark(my boyfriend) insisted to buy a newspaper.Wondering,I asked him"anung nakain mo't bibili ka ng dyaryo?"( bec.everytime i had one,nagagalit siya,kalat lang daw sa kwarto ko)..He answred seriously: Gusto kong antukin,di ko naman binabasa,tinitigana ko lang yung pictures."..of course i gave him my sarcastic tawa/:D

It happened that i browsed this quotes/phrase,that's why i remember my half-crazy(hehe) boyfriend.:))

INFINITE is the EXACT WORD....

INFINITE is the EXACT WORD to describe.....

  

US

i so love...

I love the 12th line the most.<3

THE BIG REVEAL

This past blogless days...

ALLERGY ATTACK!!
Ive been experiencing the most devastating sickness.. i had my allergy attack,what i hate most is  the erythemathous rashes just popping out on my makinis face(:D)which leaves black marks.My mama rushed me at the ER last thursday night..one benadryl dose knocks me out but not my rashes.Lesson learned.I RATHER BE THE MEDTECH THAN A PATIENT.



POOP!
Just this morning from my 10-6 duty..in am(around 5am),had our routine rounds to collect in am specimenfrom patients.My last stop is at the 4th floor.BUTTTTT...nature calls..my favorite line"NATATAE NA TALGA AKO!) Guess what..I have had my pooppy moment at the 4th floor cr.still lucky nobody is around and no one knows about it(unless somebody's gotta read this)heheehhe:D


Note:Now Forget everything you read in here.:))

What are you most afraid of?

If all you had to do was wish for something and you would have it, life would be pretty boring, wouldn't it? God placed barriers between us and what we want, so we can enjoy interesting and satisfying lives. God hid our biggest rewards behind the highest barriers - our deepest fears. God wants us to face our fears, and hold ground in their presence, and let them go, and that's how we get out biggest rewards. What are you most afraid of? Say it, just start by saying it.

FITZZANATIC NO!

Yesterday..
i feel just so sickly insane that i decided to be absent at work.i called around 3 am when i cant's sleep because of  my unseasonal colds and cough(im still wondering  na kahit super init i have this pathetic two's:blaming the weather and my immune system).

In the afternoon,mommy decided to have some walk at serendra para naman daw makalanghap ako ng fresh air and not just air from my dusty electricfan.So even if im not feeling well,i agreed..

Suddenly while walking,here comes the unexpected rain pouring like there's a thunderstorm..Unluckily,we the umbrellaless trio,like basang sisiw na hinihntay tumigil to have our merienda at marketmarket mall.So we have an accomodating stop at a nearby apple store.Thanks to it,it stopped a bit that we managed to walked to market.

We decided to have some pizza at sbarro.but my favorite hawaiaan(not favorite pala:it's the only pizza  that I eat.IM NOT A PIZZANATIC!)ay wala..so i gave them an option to shakeys or yellow cab..SHAKEYS is the choice.im more of a mojo person than a pizza one.HALF-EATEN pizza as i decsribed it..i ate only the toppings(pineapple and ham.)

I get so sickly nung makita ko ang mahabang pila for cab.thanks to senior citizen lane(but as always,Filipinos, always have a complain..bakit nauna si ganito eh kanina pa kami dito..the usual phrase i heard for our hours of waiting).
these are some of the scenes:
1.nadatnan namin: babae around 40's with her senior citizen mom around 60's(arguing na kanina pa sila eh sabi ng gurad alternate..hanggang sa sinabon na nya yong guard kulang na lang magbanlaw  sya sa ulan)

2.sumisingit mode(isang nanay karga ang umiiyak na anak)nakiusap na sila muna dahil kawawa naman yung bata.(pinasingit ng guard)

3.Buit then here comes another mom with  a child sleeping(saying..."bat mo pinauna,eh kame,kanina pa tong anak ko,natuyuan na ng ulan sa likod")

4.The only good side na nakita ko that moment:tinulungan ng isang guard yung bulag at pinauna sa linya.

we waited...we waited..we waited..thanks to the guard.(minsan hindi mo kelangan ang bunganga,just a humble and giving heart)Let me acknowledge the guard: SIR SARIO(naalala ko kase parang SANRIO LANG)heheheh:))

From there I realized kaya walang asenso sa PILIPINAS because WALANG GUSTONG MAGPAKUMBABA.

KWATRO

(L-R)Apple,Me,Ana,edmart,Debita,Angela(Kaps)

I was definitely blessed with these five when i had my internship at slu-sacred heart hospital.We were together for six months full of laughters and of course one will never forget the drama.We've been through a lot,different personalities honed as one...we're not just as groupmates but most likely sisters and bro(referring to edmart).

let me describe them to you: :))

Apple the transparent:when's shes happy,she's happy,but if mad,galit talga yan..ngayon ko lang sya nakasama for 4 years of Medtech school..and i thought siya yung least na makakasundo ko(which is wrong).siya yung parating absent pag lumalabas kame..KJ for short.hahahahah(ok,let's say she's busy.:D)

AKO(issa the IYAKIN):Ilang beses ba ako umiyak with that 6 months.(kayo na bahala magbilang..as they described me i am the personality na malakas mangpikon pero di pwedeng pikonin.hhahahah(:D)

ANA B(mahinhin na hindi pala):hahahahaha:Di thought she was the most mahinhin(pero siya nga naman tlga)pero once i laughed,she will laugh with me crunchily,heartily,and loudly..She always sing I DON'T WANNA MISS A THING(hahaahaha:)) 

EDMART(beast): Siya yung alam kong di ko makakasundo.Pero im totally wrong.May time pa nga na siya lang ang kakampi ko.siya rin ang parati kong tandem sa ICU,tutusik kame until the nth time para lang makakuha ng dugo sa namamatay ng payente.(marami din kaming kalokohan when it comes to extraction :only both of us know).Anyway,BEAST (is for best short for bestfriend..maraming tumatawag skin ng bhees ..kwento ko sa next entry ko)

DEBS as DEBITA:For me sya yung pinakaresponsible,parating naglilinis at nagaayos(minsan nga she inspired me na maglinis din ng sink kase ang linis ng hema sink)hahaha. sya naman ang kaheart talk ko at time..before going to bed.hahahaa:))

ANGELA(KAPS):Kaps,short for kapatid,kasi kame lang sexy sa kanilang lhat..hahahahahah(kumontra pangit!) favorite ko of course ang silvannas niya(the best!)

 We may be the poorest yet the BEST(est)group ever exist.  :))

 i miss the bonding,the kwentos,the tawas,the crying session(to which I lead),the toast,the singing,the halohalo session,pistachio(ice cream),the kapalpakan,the encouragements and the hugggggsss!

i miss you group 4.

NOTE:(THE picture seems so old and poorly designed.(anyway sinadya yan,to remind us that even if we're poor,pinakamatibay naman.:) 

What if....

Ive been spending my 3 days off wisely,once in a blue moon lang yan dumating..Supposedly, im off for a trip to la uinion to spend fiesta with the family,since im so sick I opted to stay at home(luckily mama and mom travelled the extra mile for me )..Im waiting  for 1pm to take them at the bus station.

day 1: Sched:SLEEPING: hinatid ko ang bro ko around 1130 pm ,waited for mark to accompany me..had our lunch at jabbee(jollibee).went back home..then sleep til 8pm.took a bath then sleep again till 7 am(kaya nga tinawag na sleeping sched db?spent wisely.:D

day 2:OFF 8am-2pm(house cleaning..laundry..cabinet cleaning(too messy!)
                  2-4:watched letters to Juliet(thanks to Mark again for a thumbs-up movie:oh the credits must
                        go to kuya jeff though for the dvd)

MY FAVORITE LINE :"What" and "If" are two words as non-threatening as words can be. But put them together side-by-side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life: What if? What if? What if? I don't know how your story ended but if what you felt then was true love, then it's never too late. If it was true then, why wouldn't it be true now? You need only the courage to follow your heart. I don't know what a love like Juliet's feels like - love to leave loved ones for, love to cross oceans for but I'd like to believe if I ever were to feel it, that I will have the courage to seize it.

(This made me realize to take an ounce of courage to take every risk, for you will never know what's waiting for you at the end of the line..taking risks never been too odd.)

to continue with my sched...hahahaha!

dito na nagsimula ang malas.:))
mark lost his motor key ,afterwards i lost my house master key(grrrr!) on the way to guada,for my haircut,as mark quoted,are we just that destined even foolness striked,sabay talga tayo??:))

btw:mark found his key,i don't find mine.but i was way too grateful for the good people around who helped me find a way to get inside.GOD is incredibly GOOD.

day 3:OFF. I get an early message for the lab:go ASAP at the lab to fix my  DTR(di daw ako ngout nung 10(for God's sake,parati nalang.)After ko magmunimuni ng matagal,napagisipan kong bumangon at pumunta parin .:))or else delayed ang payday ko.hehehe :)) mas masaklap yun!

"Minsan talaga kelangan ng maaaahabaaang OFF para NAKAKMISS din magtrabaho."Would you agree?

lesson from this 3 days off...When WHAT IF instances hit you,TAKE RISKS.
:)
