Wow long time no blog. 0_o This makes the second blog entry of the year and first for February. So what’s new? I finally finished my clerkship and I’m all cleared for graduation. I’m just waiting for the paper work to be done. I’m quite glad about that but board review hasn’t sunk in on me yet. Yes I know that’s a dangerous type of procrastination if ever I do want to be licensed. I really need to get of my ass huh? Anyway I’m having a not-so-good February so far so to take out the gloom and doom for a while, I’ll recap my 2^nd half of duty places and recall all the fun times.

My third duty venue was at the horse race tracks in San Lazaro Leisure Park in Carmona, Cavite. I love horses so I enjoyed my time there. The downside is the travel because I didn’t rent any nearby place and had to drive 2 hours every day. But it was really nice seeing and taking care of all those fancy horses and seeing them win in victory during the race itself. I did encounter quite a few troubles along the way as well. First my money was stolen when I accidentally forgot it in my bag when I went to work. I later found out a nasty stable boy with a bad work streak took it. He was already fired but he got away with my money (and my group mate too) still. Also our vet proctor happened to be in a nasty mood a certain day at the same time caught one of our fellow interns cutting work. Needless to say that interned failed in that venue but the bummer side is the vet took his frustrations on us too and made us stay longer than usual. Lastly I didn’t get to ride any horses because the one assigned for me to ride got injured in the last minute. Other than that I really learned a lot about horses and the racing industry and I really want to try my hand out on that field someday. Hopefully I get a chance like that again.

Last venue assigned was good ol’ Manila zoo. Of course I’m pretty familiar with the routine there having to volunteer for a couple of years now. Nothing much changed except it was renovated pretty nicely. As usual after feeding the animals, it gets boring from unless there was an emergency or an animal died and we had to necropsy it. Nothing really exciting happened except the zoo was bombarded with the tapping of a local drama series called “Daldalita”. I considered it more of a drag really because we couldn’t move freely as assistant zookeepers and people keep crowding over celebrities. The most exciting part that happened is when I went in for my make-up for an absent. I was alone there and was supposed to tour lover around the zoo when they decided to sterilize and move all the monkeys. I had to help move those freaking monkeys and castrate 10 of them. I do like surgery but (as you can tell) I don’t like monkeys very much. Plus my quality time with lover was quite halted because of that. Too bad I had no pictures of that because my hands were quite full.

So pretty much that is what’s been happening to me. Been in school after that for a while and I finished my graduation form. All I have to do is wait for final clearance and pay my dues (literally) and all that formality crap. For now I’ve been catching up on my reading both leisure and academic. I’m really hooked with this new manga called “Magi”. It’s such a wonderful re-telling of Arabian Nights. Now I am considering cosplay again. I already ordered and made some stuff for my Judal plan. Oh yes I’m a dude this time. XD With that I’m becoming a gym buff again because a lot of people are telling me I’m a fat ass and those muscles won’t build themselves. Man I really gotta study. I hope I stop procrastinating already. ^_^’ till next time!


Woohoo! Judal from Magi Labyrinth of Magic. Gonna be macho (flamboyant?) manly yo!
