2010

Let me wrap up the whole year real quick.

January and February, clinical pharmacy internship at Ovada, FPGEE review with Dean Eva

March, end of Ma’am Eva’s FPGEE review, completion of online modules, and graduation from BS Clinical Pharmacy

April and May, self-study at home and part-time bum, processing of necessary papers from PRC

June, departure to the US, application for FPGEE

July, PTCB exam

August, nothing much

September, took the FPGEE at Colorado

October, took the TOEFL iBT, applied for California Pharmacy Technician license, got hired by CVS/pharmacy

November, passing result of FPGEE and TOEFL iBT, got hired by Ross Stores, Inc.

December, received FPGEC certificate, got hired by Walgreens, applied for California Pharmacy Intern registration and got it in the mail on this very last day of the year

I’ve gotten so many blessings and met so many wonderful people this year so I’m ending it with a smile.

New Year’s Resolution

When I was a kid, I always had a lot of New Year’s Resolutions. Then they got fewer and fewer every succeeding year. Maybe it was a sign of maturity. A person can say he’s already mature when he couldn’t think anymore of a New Year’s resolution. As for me, maybe I’m not mature enough for I can still think of one.

My New Year’s resolution for 2010 is that I will be more assertive and more honest with myself.

Happy 2010!

Dear Goldie,

You’re one of the sweetest persons I know. Hope you’ll never change. I’m really grateful that we crossed paths again in Ovada since we were never close way back in college. Thanks for being so nice to me. I was really touched when you came into our room one night just to share your dream (about “him”) with me.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Friends forever!

Love,

The Silent Spectator

PS: I’m sure you’ll receive a greeting from “him” this Christmas! And I’m looking forward to visiting your blog soon! ☺

Dear Unni,

You may not know it but I’ve learned a lot of things from you. I love my profession now more than before, and you contributed greatly to that. It’s just amazing how everything you say makes a lot of sense. You’re one of my inspirations. I will always look up to you. Thanks for all the help!

Have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year!

I “heart” you! ♥

Love,

The Silent Spectator

Dear Friend

Tonight in the dormitory, we exchanged gifts among ourselves. We drew lots a couple of weeks ago and I picked Audrey’s name. Funny thing was that she even accompanied me to buy my gift, not having a single clue that it was her who I picked.

We were both in tears when I gave it to her. It was a very cute cool diary with purple checkered skin. I so love it! I honestly wanted to keep it for myself, but I wanted to inspire Audrey to keep a diary too. Moreover, she was the one who picked that design.

(I know it looks just like a piece of tablecloth in here but I swear you'd definitely want one when you saw it for real!)

On the first page of the diary, I wrote a message for Audrey, wishing her a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and thanking her for everything she’s done for me, like singing Korean songs with me, studying notes with me, sharing her food with me, and simply for just being there. Audrey is a dear friend. ☺
