about me written on chalkboard

I was born in the Pearl of the Orient Seas which is the Philippines on 18th of May 1992. My parents named me Rose-Ann. I am the eldest. I have one brother and one sister. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy and I am working in a food manufacturing company as a production line worker. We migrated from the Philippines to Canada after I graduated. Sadly, I missed the chance to take my board exam back home. I would love to take my Pharmacy licensure exam here in Canada but being an eldest is a big responsibility. My mom is a single parent so I would rather help her in paying the bills. Although she let me choose, I still insisted on helping her.

I love eating Asian food, going to different churches, and watching Kdrama’s. I love watching romantic and medical theme movies, that’s why I am watching the Good Doctor right now. My perspective in life is we only live once so seize your dreams, do whatever makes you happy without hurting anyone, and always take care of yourself. My greatest lesson in life occurred when I was an intern in the hospital pharmacy, there was an old lady asking me to fill her husband’s prescription unfortunately, she doesn’t have enough money. By just looking at her my heart is already melted, that’s why I paid for the medication. She’s so very happy and she even wants to hug me. Since then, I try to save money as much as I can, I avoid buying unnecessary things and I handle my salaries with minimal expenditures. I believe in this life, you cannot depend on anyone. You have to save up if the storm comes.
