Early this year, I flew to Japan for a week for a modeling project. I still couldn't believe that I was able to work with a well-known photographer, Rarindra Prakarsa. He held his first workshop in Japan as he collaborated with Francis Ansing--one of the people whom I admire a lot for his photography skills; not to mention that he was also the first person who lent me a DSLR as I was trying to learn photography when I was in college. Sir Rarindra and Sir Francis are very humble in person and it was such an honor working with them.

Do you ever have those random days wherein you just get curious and start to google your own name to see what would show up? That's how I found out (just recently) that I was featured in an issue of The International Filipino. I didn't know that I was featured here. This was last 2012 when I joined a pageant for nurses. See me at page 5/12. They got my second name wrong in the interview, though. (You can zoom in on the embedded page). 

Before graduating college, it has been a tradition that the batch president will give his/her prediction for each of the graduating students. It is set a few years from the year of graduation, picturing everyone as successful people, with a short description of what they would be by then. At that time, our batch president was Ate Pat. While she was delivering her speech, I was hoping that she'd mention me as a successful surgeon; but I received an unexpected prediction.
