So this is how SIMPLY SIXTY looks like... Then I'll be looking forward to it eagerly! No fancy 7th birthday.. no glamorous 18th birthday.. No golden birthday.. But a #Simply60 Birthday must not be missed. For there have been so many things you should be thankful for the past 60 years of existence. You may not have felt it but you have touched sooooo many lives as we were editing those video greetings from people whose lives you've touched effortlessly. You have been both a blessing and an inspiration to them without you realizing it in the first place. Your random acts of kindness speaks alot of how Lolo Coné and Lola Ting molded you to be and you have, unconsciously, passed it on to us, your children. You have showed us that paying forward will always give back a hundred fold. Sleeping and being with you these past weeks made me realized we have missed so many quality time since I started college and eventually medschool and board review season. I would jokingly say I miss lutong bahay back in Manila, but what I was meaning to say, I miss the meals you prepare in particular. I may seem annoyed most of the time with your endless nagging and constant reminders of everything I've been doing wrong, but when you miss calling me a night or two, I would feel bothered too🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Last night when asked what my FONDEST memory would be, I said it in general but these past few weeks had been the fondest so far. Aside from the daily ration of take home meals from the office, stories we share during breakfast, and sometimes dinner, made me realize alot. I hesitated to share it because I know it would really bring so much tears and I just don't want to ruin my make up last night😂😁😝 Happy happy happy 60th Birthday Mommy @maehz28! Hope you enjoyed what we have prepared last night😘😘😘 We love you cc: @jzhmbgst @primemellidian (at Land Heights 3 Subdivision Phase 2) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmwdjY1P1RzzjUUvBmmEa_3djWnL1jaspjLwNY0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Post Graduate Internship finally comes to a close!🎓➡️👩‍⚕️ I will be forever thankful to Western Visayas Medical Center for the opportunity to be trained by the best residents and consultants ILOILO has to offer. It has been a humbling experience having to witness ✅ newborns burst into cries upon delivery on my birthday, not only once, not twice but 6 times that day; ✅ monitoring ICU patients who are eventually #promoted to a regular ward on their way to recovery, but sometimes, fate took its course and eventually guides them towards the light to greener pastures; ✅ NINE hours or more in an operating room is not all fun and games. One's life depends on our hands that a very slight movement of the instruments or equipment warrants risk to all of us in that room; ✅ children cope with pain and sickness differently from adults. Thus special methods are used to ease their aching bodies from chemotherapy or procedures they undergone; ✅ how life in geographically challenged areas have been and how us doctors could be of great help to them if time and resources permits. These are not taught within the FOUR corners of our classroom in Med School. One really has to come vis-a-vis with these realities to be able to feel what the eyes can't see. Til we meet again WVMC!🙋‍♀️ Wait for me.. I'll conquer PLE with a heart😉 PGI Bagsit, now signing off!

☑️1st Decade ☑️ 2nd Decade ▶️ 3rd DECADE My 20s may have ended. But my youthfulness will live on. Thank you to everyone who have been part of my incredible 20s! So many things happened for the past decade yet so much had been learned to become who I am today. Struggles and challenges greatly contributed to how strong I am as woman today. Those may have hindered my progress for sometime but I eventually conquered them with the help of my family, friends and loved ones. Everything happened for a particular reason. Thus, where and how I am now is the very reason for that. I couldn't be anywhere else than now!😁 #ByeTwenTEEN #HelloTEE(r)Nty (at Uchiage) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd9v50Elog-VOljc0kF9DgpVNJyNjezK8YYZ6k0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Huuuy! Pila mo na kaBirthday ko nagagreet man? Kapoy na ko! Chos lang! Labyuuu Paaart! We have been celebrating each other's birthday apart more than we are together but it never stopped us from celebrating it anyway. We have been BESTFRIENDS since we turned TEENagers. Here we are now, on our last YEAR of being TEENty😂 I hope this long distance and lack of time together makes us STRONGER than EVER. We have seen each other mature in every way we could but when we three or four are together, we still act like crazy high schoolers when we first met back in 2005. This friendship of ours had come a long way.. Yet here we are.. Still checking up on each other on every spare time we could since everyone's busy most of the time. These reunions usually happen when #thatJapaneseFriend (hello @gihanna_27) comes home for vacation.😂😂😂 I always thank God for leading to that seat near the window on that first day of class on that new school😁😁😁 Happy happy birthday to Mah Poreber Partner in crime since 2005😄 Labyu poreber! Tayong talaga ang totoong may POREBER! 😂😂😂 (at Land Heights 3 Subdivision Phase 2) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR0I1LXDgZQSJNvxF8gsmv8ffI4CAJwtZgCap00/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ipopost ko to at a very RANDOM time para di ka nag eexpect.. It was August 8, 2016 when we first met in a MicroHSB Lab class. We were groupmates then. I was a transferee and did not know anyone from our class. I was curious about the notes you were reading, kasi may CHISMIS na may quiz na daw agad that afternoon. I WAS LOST because it was my FIRST day of class since I enrolled late that sem. I asked about how and where you bought those compiled notes. You did not hesitate and offered to order for me for the next meeting's quiz. That night, you sent me your customized notes with all the artsy stuff on it. Then, I thought, I SHOULD KEEP THIS GIRL BY MY SIDE FOR THE REST OF MY MED SCHOOL LIFE.. Well, LUCKILY, I DID KEEP YOU UP UNTIL NOW.. And hopefully FOREVER. *sorry cutiepie* Salamat sa lahat ng pagkakataon na naniwala tayo sa kakayanan ng isat isa. Kahit na minsan alam natin sa sobrang hirap na kumapit. Nanalig pa rin tayo na maitatawid natin yun kahit anong mangyari. Di mo lang alam kung paano mo ako pinatibay sa mga panahon na wala na rin akong tiwala sa sarili ko. Na di nyo alam di na talaga ako nag aaral kasi sobrang ayoko na talaga sa mga ginagawa nating pag aaral. Salamat sa laging pag aalala sakin.. Kung nakapagpasa na ba ako ng ganito ganyan? Kung nakapag palista na ba ako? Kung nagbayad na ba ako sa pinaphotox nilang trans? Kung nakapagpirma na ba ako sa attendance na kanina pa dumaan sa inyo kasi late na naman ako? Kung may upuan pa ba para sa ating lahat? Kung nabasa ko na ba ang ganitong trans/samplex? Kung meron na ba ako ng ganitong file? Kung ALAM KO NA BA ANG LATEST CHISMIS tungkol dun kay kwan at kay ano? Kahit kadalasan tayo di nagkakaintindihan sa mga bagay bagay na gusto kong gawin. SALAMAT sa laging pagsuporta sa mga ginagawa kong desisyon na alam mong magpapasaya sakin. BASTA SALAMAT TALAGA!😘😘😘 HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM @vinnaalvarez! 🎂🎊💐🍰🎈😘😘😘 PS sana magkita tayo bago ako umuwi Iloilo🙏🙏🙏 (at Our Lady of Fatima University (OLFU)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHSMVEjj2Pm3kN25WHraKzWT0-0qQCXc-RTDTQ0/?igshid=wx86xfxvp6a3
