ma'am gie! ^_^;

gawd.. i miss this kind of stuff.. ^_^; i want to go back to class! hopefully, i could go back to the philippines to take the board exams (PRC).. ^_^;

for now, i am applying for random laboratory and/or other related work i could find here. I have to garner as much experience before i could get a better job and save up for the boards here.

just dropping by to say hi to one of the best mentors i've had the honor to have! Godspeed! miss you!

Hello Elaine, I apologize for the late reply. No one usually comments on this blog that's why. I'm happy to know that you're doing fine. You're one of my best students too.

Just drop by to view the entries. Take care and God bless.
