For SCIENCE and <3

After our surveys and all that, we found out that Tuberculosis is the primary concern in the community that we're in. With that being said, we focused on the problem. 

We conducted a seminar, had games, had fun, gave free food, and all that stuff. I guess it's really very helpful for the community since according to the survey we conducted last time, most of them are not able to finish school so it's not everyday that someone like our speaker would come to their community and inform them about their number 1 concern when it comes to health.

Us hearing our leader's explanation. Me playing the role of kunwaring nakikinig. Chika lang. Haha

We invited an alumni as a speaker of the said event. We, students, actually listened more to the lecture than the stake holders. Quite an awesome lecture.

F na F! The guys should actually have their dance number but since they're too shy to dance, these little kiddos did the thing for them.

And then us, the food committee did our thing. We distributed packed lunch to the people who attended our seminar and all that thing that happened. I don't know if my group mates feel the same way or whatever but I really feel thankful for this experience. Thankful that I get to talk to people who I probably wouldn't have a chance to talk with if not for this activity.  I'm not a people person. I might consider being a PATHOLOGIST. 

Anyways, thank you UST for having a program like this. I mean, even though it can really be so tiring, at the end of the day, you can always give it a rest. But you can't take away the experience. Thank you Mr. Tiu and Mr. Raymundo for the pictures! :) I owe these pictures to you guys. 

Korean Village! :) Food Trip.

Birthday Week! I told my mom that I want to eat here so we went. Thankfully, there's an available time. I really hate how this thing couldn't just happen naturally. On a Sunday, for example. But anyway.

My youngest sister actually had dinner already so when we got there, mom said she could have ice cream. This is what she got. I personally like Korean/Japanese ice creams because they are just perfect. I mean, not too sweet and all stuff like that. They're also rich in flavor which I like. I mean, who doesn't?

How vain is this? Hahaha anyways, they serve cold tea which is like, awesome. 

And these came! Love love love! I wasn't able to finish everything though. 

Calbi is love! I think we had so much meat that time. No regrets. It was so good. 

Bibimbap! If you don't know already, this is like my, favorite food of all time. Just so you know! What's interesting about their Bibimbap is that they serve it in their stone pot or whatever and it just makes the whole meal better! :) I love! It also came with Miso Soup with Tofu. 

Also! They serve the chili paste separately and I really consumed half this thing. And it was heaven! It's not that spicy though but nevertheless good. 

They also serve pineapple at the end of each meal. Sweet pineapples they are. Like, always. 

Long Day!

And I guess it's gonna be like this for a while. No regrets though. I mean, it's not gonna be for long so I have to sacrifice a little bit.

So we did our second trial of thesis at the University of the Philippines Manila for about two hours and then we decided to go to Robinson's Place Manila to kind of kill time. I was actually from night duty and our call time was at 11 so I barely had sleep but still! I was kind of hyper and all that. I also asked my cousin to go with me since we're understaffed so I really appreciated the fact that she came to help.

We saw a tea shop that is relatively new to us. We were actually supposed to go to Serenitea but I asked them to try this so we would have an idea of what's going on or whatsoever.

My friend and I ordered this thing on the poster because my friend asked what's the most delicious tea and the guy there asked us to try their best seller and just because we don't really know, we were sold. But my cousin ordered the Chocolate something Milk Tea. Which is surprisingly good. Ours was okay but not really that promising. Oh well. But it's still good. Large tea in this store usually costs 100 pesos so, not bad. Sakto lang.

And then we decided to eat at Hainanese's Delight which I was so curious about because I would always pass by their place and stuff so yeah.

Took this picture because the heart cut outs are so adorbs. I like it.

We of course ordered their best seller because you know, that's what people do in a situation like this. The chicken was good but the rice is better. They actually refill rice for free! How awesome is that? Gluttony!! The chicken meal costs 130 pesos and the iced tea costs 40 pesos which I thought is a little bit pricey for an iced tea. But oh well. So that happened. We actually had more than 4 cups each because the thing is they're using that small ice cream scooper as an alternative so we asked for two servings na agad agad.

Then we saw this and I thought I'm gonna share this with you. I am partly Chinese but I don't really believe this kind of stuff because you know, how can we all have the same luck? That's just kind of bizarre. But like what I've said before, it's good to be guided and all that so that it'd be easier for us to track the right path! And also, since the predictions are kind of relevant and possible, I actually think that this is kind of legit and all that. But not really. You know, I wouldn't waste my time believing this is if I happened to have a bad year coming or whatever. I'd be like, Chinese horoscope your face! No offense. Really though. At the end of the day, we believe the things we want to believe. And I approve of my Chinese Sign this Lunar New Year. I'm sorry I didn't take photo of the rest because you know, you know.

I have to better my life. Yup.

That's all! :) Happy Chinese or Lunar or whatever New Year to those who are celebrating it. Yehey! :)
