Real Leaf Paparazzi

Looking for real world super hero? Here's one. Rio is a nurse, saving lives and giving hope to people every time she enters the hospital. She work requires her to be physically active, mentally alert and emotionally strong. After a tiring graveyard shift, she loves to chat while drinking green tea.

Rio prefers to drink Real Leaf Green Tea firstly, she strongly believes that this can give her the ability to groove like Gary and Gab Valenciano! (A shot from Real Leaf TVC)

Kidding aside, she wants to try something new and fresh. Refreshing!
And being health conscious, it is good for her mind and body. Wanna know how come? Let me explain to you.

Real Leaf Green Tea is made from 100% whole green tea leaves that are naturally packed with Theanine. Theanine is an organic compound commonly found in tea. Since it can cross the blood-brain barrier, theanine has psychoactive properties that can reduce mental and physical stress and improves cognition and mood. Theanine also increases brain dopamine levels which helps our hearts to contract properly.

Also, it may help the body's immune response to infection by boosting the disease-fighting capacity of T-cells. According to study published in 2003 by the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, anti-bacterial proteins was up to five times higher in the tea-drinkers, an indicator of a stronger immune response. To add, According to a study conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University, there were increased levels of theta waves within the hypothalamus, indicating improved cognition and memory by helping people to focus and concentrate.

Nice lah?
This is the end of my post.

Wait! Wait! Wait!
Somebody wants to be a paparazzi too!
While playing with my brother in the garden, my sister took some candid photos!

Di ko na alam kung pano tatapusin ang pagsusulat!
Kaya ganito nalang, bigla nalang mawawala!

you're the 1, Goldilocks!

You’re the number 1 because you’re the only one.

I feel like the goddess of writing has not yet enlightened me. Ergo, the first step I did in creating this entry is that I turned my laptop upside down to retrieve photos that I had spent with foods wrapped in yellow and blue. Blessed to find some…


Photo taken during my senior year in college, first semester (2007) when we had our out of town duty. We had a double birthday celebration for our dear clinical instructor Ma’am Wen and our groupmate Dora. (Don’t mind us, the three people at the back, we’re a little cam whore)


But when was the first time these foods in yellow and blue entered my life? During my prime when I was 13 years old at my dear Uni’s debut celebration, I could only remember 2 things. One, my pop cried in bliss because his baby transfigured into a lady. Second is the look of my uni’s cake. It was just now that I have come to realized that her cake was exactly like, like, like this:


Oh la la la! That’s goldilocks!


Every important event, when we celebrate. Goldilocks is always there.

Photos taken during the birthday of my groupmate, Mao when we went back to our city yet still on duty.


It’s just really amazing how a cake can do. We gave these gifts (image below) to one of our clinical instructors as a form of appreciation and peace offering for the severe headache that we’ve caused to her. Honestly, we were quite scared whenever she becomes toxic. We giggled when we saw her smiling (which she rarely do during those times) while she receiving our gifts. An ecstacy! (2008)



My last rotation as a student nurse was Practicing Clinical Instructor which was a very big challenge since I have to act like a Clinical Instructor. The most important lesson I learned was the importance of establishing rapport. It was such a beautiful experience to have people that you call students who respect you and value you as a person. And what is a culmination party without the pastries from the number one bakeshop? (2009)



Filipinos love to eat and it’s not just eating, it’s pigging out! : ) but why do we chose goldilocks as part of our fave foods? Is it:


A. They hire super artistic grandsons and granddaughters of Da Vinci and they are trained to stretch those lips and smile to brighten up your day.



B. They know how to compensate the different choices on taste. (I’m drooling 10 liters of spittle at the moment. )



C. They give freebies like this NINA cd and maybe they will give me mini laptop. ^^


The answer: All of the above plus letter D.

D. Goldilocks is already part of Filipino culture. It has already been a witness of every momentous moment that we had and we will continue to celebrate with it in future celebrations.


Goldilocks, YOU’RE THE ONE, BECAUSE YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE! =)
