Now, let’s go home. (at University of Santo Tomas)
Honestly, our story is one hell of a mess but it’s the one I’ll always want to be part of. Its where long distance relationship is normal and connecting with each other, physically, emotionally and spiritually could be a shocking surprise. Haha.
As a kid I took it day by day and made sure to wave at the airplanes passing by to send you love hoping that you’re also thinking about me and Carla while you’re abroad working crazy hours for us to be able to live more comfortably than what you had in your childhood.
Growing up this way, you had no control of the kids we were going to become. Nevertheless, you never gave up to come back to make sure we knew you, what you’ve been through, and share lessons only you can impart to us based on your success and mistakes.
I’m far from a perfect daughter but I’m confident in myself that I will make you proud. I believe in my kindness and in the patience that I’ve developed to understand others and wait for what is truly mine because I swear I won’t give up anymore. I may not be excellent in my course of study right now but my passion still remains and I know that when I put myself in the right place I will deliver the excellence you deserve to see.
It takes a lot of strength to be you; to frequently try to make a home away from home, to trust your gut with sudden big decisions, to have two alien kids with opposite personalities and right now, for continuously guiding me, trusting what I say is my happiness, for having to pep talk me every year about nursing and still believe in someone so complicated… me.
Marie Salve & Stevens Ricafort, this is for you. There are no permanent roles with us because that’s just that and that ok. Thank you from 1994 til now. Happy Parents Day! ❤️
And to the rest of the world, Happy Father’s Day everyone!

If ‘J’ means Jonathan, I don’t know what you mean by he still talks about me but we do talk from time to time. It’s good to hear how he’s doing from time to time.
College is a wreck but having the right people beside you will get you through it all. So much happened under 1 year of our friendship where we had the best adventures and fought the worst battles. Nevertheless, I’m thankful for it all because that’s what keeps us tight. Happy birthday, @erinmorabe! And congratulations to my RNs! Erin, @harvmg and Anna Mutuc!!! I’m so proud of you guys. 💋 looking for more RN memories with you in the future. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It might take me a long time to accomplish certain tasks but its only because I want to make sure that what they’ll see is 100% of the commitment invested in all the things that I, or maybe we, create altogether.
Open your mind to the possibility of finding the best people in a home away from home. What was best for you before might not be the best for you now and, hey, that’s okay. 💋 With your UST Central Student Council Committee Babes 💛 #workhardplayhard (at University of Santo Tomas)
It would be nicer if some professors were replaced by cockatoos. Because at least these birds have the courtesy to say hello back when you greet them. 👌🏻 (at RSPCA Cairns shelter)
Don’t think about it too much. Go for the jump and enjoy the ride. #USTNursing2017 It’s just around the corner so brace yourselves. ✌🏻💚💛 (at Ellis Beach)
Today marks 1 week in Australia. It has been the best week since my birthday week but overall the best in the 3 years I’ve been away from Vegas. Shit falls apart but better things come around. So Florian, look around, see and feel all the love. You’ve got a lot in the Philippines. You just hate being there so much that you don’t realize it. Here and there there are people who matter more than the jerks who tell you you have no right to many things. Love yo'self, girl. ❤️ Thanks self and thank you, Jesus. You’re the bestie. Love you, fam
July 1st: I remember having dad’s friends over the house when I was 2-3years old. They’d always have drinks and laugh out loud but not like how we do during dinner with water and silly stories. I never understood. Finally, I had that moment with him. Since I hit the legal age, or maybe younger, I understood that it’s a psychological effect of a chemical that regular apple juice or water won’t deliver. Lol. But anyway, it’s a lot better to drink up the bottles with him than to do it with anyone else. Ironically, after a few bottles we were able to clear things up between the two of us. Now he knows I like avocados, ice cream, cats and the way we see relationships at this age is exactly alike and that has to be the best part of it all. 💋 Cheers
June 25th: Off to Australia! (+ 14hr stopover in Hong Kong) to see dad and the fam. 👪👭
It’s the first in 10 years and this guy is still the same happy guy. 💋 I did miss dad and I’m glad I had the chance to see him this year.

Jubilee Homes Community Development Program. Where I had a little sister and caught the cutest frogs. If I were to choose a field, my heart is all the way with the communities. Confession: CHN is the only duty where I feel like a real nurse. Lol. 💉 Take me back!
“If Florian was her daughter, she probably would have disowned her by now,” said my mom during a conversation about clingy moms demanding to hear from their children often. Lol. No matter how silent I am and how awkward it is for us to say ‘I love you’ to each other, know that I strive to be great for you, mom. I may have stopped aiming to be at the top of the list but nevertheless I continue to grind for that high quality outcome in all my work. Here’s another one of the big headaches of life from yours truly. Thank you for taking the graveyard shift, 16-hrs straight of duty and your personal set backs just to send me things that even you yourself don’t have. Thank you for fighting my fights and, this time, giving me the chance to tell you my problem, listening and accepting it. This drama of course doesn’t end here and whatever else that may be said in the future won’t change my gratefulness and so on that note, cheers to the best! Happy Father’s Day, Mom. 💋 You’re one of a kind… especially when you’re yelling at me. 🙉🙈
