Image
Before anything else, this is a late, late post. The event happened last December 2018 and was only able to post it now. Some facts and informations in here are from other blogs which I also credited below. Thank you to full time, travel bloggers like them who takes time to know and research places they've been to. Taken at Baybay Beach after playing in the sand. It was super humid. I was in my fourth year of high school when I last took a vacation in Roxas with my family. Friendster was still in that time and all my vacation photos were in there. Huhu. That was 2009, we went home to visit my lola for a couple of days before school starts.

Pinto Art Museum 2018 Hola, mamshies! It has been a couple of months from the last time I wrote real time. Life has been busy and I am enjoying every step of the way. Just to give you a quick recap of what happened with my life, I finally started working 9-5 again and starting to get my life back on track.

Me! :D It was a very nerve-wracking, anxiety-provoking, death-defying experience for me and to be able to give back to those who shall also take the board exam, perhaps in the next years, I shall share with you some of my made up tips. This is in Filipino because I kinda did this in a hurry while at work. TIPS:   **  LIST ALL YOUR WORRIES AND ANXIETIES the night before the exam. Hindi man nito maeliminate lahaaaaat ng anxieties mo, malelessen naman niya ito. Parang prep mo ito sa emotion at mind mo na kelangan magready na siya for whatever is coming tomorrow. **  KNOW the exact location and the way to your school assignment. Para di ka na maligaw sa araw na iyon. Tinatanong pa ba yan?? Mabuti ng handa no? :D **  Hindi basehan ang pagiging topnotcher sa review center kung papasa ka or magtatop sa ka sa b

Here in the Philippines, an estimate of at least 12 Filipino women die of cervical cancer every day. It is the second most common cancer among women in the Philippines, first being breast cancer and about 6,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year and about 4,349 die of the illness annually. For some reason, rates are still high even if cervical cancer is preventable . Really, preventable? Yes, mamsh! Cervical cancer is definitely preventable.

Read down below to know how the whole experience went down and for my thoughts.  First off, let me just say that it wasn't a part of my plan to do facials. I am perfectly content with my skincare however, I got a bad acne breakout these past few months which led to my deciding to get facial.
