Ayoko na sa Pharma

Image
So ayun isa akong pharmacist, matalino may honor na grumaduate noong College sa magandang Private University, scholar pa ako mga bes. Nagtatrabaho na ako ngayon bilang isang Instructor sa isang Unibersidad sa North Luzon. Dati nagtrabaho ako bilang LabTech sa UB ng 6 na buwan bago ako nag board exam at pumasok bilang pharmacist samalaking drugstore. Nag enjoy ako ng 1.5 years sa trabaho bilang retail pharmacist. Pagkatapos noon ay nag resign ako dahil naboboring na ako sa paulit ulit na ginagawa—nagtitinda ng gamot, nagiinventory ng mga expired medicines and hinahanap yung mga nawawalang gamot—mga usual na gawain sa Pharmacy. Then, nag DOH ako. Bilang isang supervising pharmacist, iniikot ko  ang buong probinsya sa North Luzon. Lahat ng 9 na rural health units nito ay pinupuntahan ko. Nag stay ako doon ng 2 to 3 nights, kinakausap ang mga tauhan ng RHU, yung doctor, yung midwife, nagiinventory kung saan ginagamit ang mga gamot na binibigay ng gobyerno, etc. Okay naman ako sa ganon...

Cycling through the Amazing Barangays of Tabuk City

As a novice cycling enthusiast (albeit the incomplete gear and old bicycle I used), I had the pleasure of visiting the entire 42 plus barangays of the City. From the plains of Agbannawag, the beautiful curves of Nambaran and Tuga to Masablang, the rolling hills of Bulo, Malalao and neighboring barangays, the roller coaster mountain hills of Naneng and the scenic, beautiful roads of Balong-Dilag constitutes the impressive power of the four districts of the City. Rice, corn, mango, bananas, coffee, coconuts are everywhere in the places. Wide, monstrous roads showcasing the engineering of highways greet everyone with a fresh view.  Located strategically in between mountains, the valley of Tabuk with several plateaus is truly a blessing in disguise. The tapestry is too much of an art, intricately weaved and crafted by nature in such an impeccable way. Travelling along the neat roads provide one with euphoria that is unnerving to a novice cycler. The adventure is worth the effort...
