Kat's Notebook

When I was younger (not that long ago *grin*), I dreamt of becoming the next Martina Hingis. I fell in love with tennis when I saw Martina played and won one championship after another. I followed her career for a time until the Williams sister entered the scene. Then I got bored and opted out. [...]

I went to see the highly acclaimed Broadway show, “Wicked” last Sunday with my mom and aunts. My aunt tipped us about this lottery ticket at Orpheum theater. On certain days, Orpheum theater raffles off 25USD ticket (which normally costs 70-150) to see their shows. We were happy that we won those tickets. But my [...]

For the “Give a Day Get a Disney Day” program, I chose to volunteer at the RAFT organization. I’m truly amazed by this country. People are empowered to do something in their community. Residents don’t wait for the government to feed them. It doesn’t hurt that rich philanthropists fund these organizations to help the community. [...]

Just recently my dad has been playing golf once a week after my uncle introduced him to the sport. I was curious and I asked him to take me so I can experience it and blog about the sport. Actually our golf activity is limited to driving. We don’t do the course but we just [...]

A few days ago I took my written exam for RDA – both written RDA and law and ethics exam. Originally I liked to take both exams on one day however PSI for some reason doesn’t allow it. Law and Ethics exam is only 1 hour and it would save me a trip to do [...]

Last week I took the RDA practical exam at UCSF. This is a step towards me becoming a registered dental assistant. So what happens after application? I waited for almost 1 and 1/2 month before I got my practical and written exam instructions in the mail. In the instruction paper, it’ll tell the date, place [...]

In my attempt to improve my career path, I took on the exam for RDA. A lot of dental offices are hiring registered dental assistants more than a non-registered one. I have never had schooling in dental assisting except I have a background and diploma in Dentistry. My first job in a dental clinic helped [...]

This month I enrolled myself in the CERT course provided by our city. CERT stands for Community Emergency Response Team. The course is free and many cities countrywide make this available to train residents to be prepared in case of emergency or disaster. The training was held at the Belmont Fire Station #14. Officer Christy [...]

So what transpired on my birthday? This has been one of the memorable birthdays I had. I remember my parents throwing me a party when I was a kid and I’ll be dancing in front of the crowd mindless of everyone with my pretty dress on. Then there’s the time we went to Boracay beach. [...]
