Woman for pharmacy

Just came home from a dinner affair Bev took me to. Dubbed "Women For Pharmacy Dinner", it was a social gathering of women pharmacists, and an exceptional handful of men who share the cause of these women. Bev tagged me along since, according to her, I am a pharmacist anyway. Well, even if I am yet to get my qualification here, I guess just the mere fact that I am aiming to be one soon has earned me the right to be there. It was also an opportunity venue for me to meet new acquaintances and, as Bev would put it, built up my own network. She was at "advertisement" mode again, telling people-- known or unknown to her-- that I am a pharmacist from overseas. I'd follow it up later to explain that I am her dispensary assistant.

Speaking of which, dan dan dan dan dan dan dan... I am already certified! My certificate-- no, please make that certificates-- came in this morning. Apparently, the pre-course modules I accomplished last March was for, unbeknownst to me, another certificate. So, yeah, there were two certificates to celebrate about! My chef couldn't be any prouder, seeing his name in mine boldly written on them.

And to put icing on my already sweet week, an iPod nano unit came in for me last Friday. I wasn't even aware where it came from, or if I'd won it from one of the numerous competitions Tamara and I sign up to. It was a very ecstatic moment, as one can imagine, with Bev joining in jumping around with me and almost confused at my excitement. When I had finally managed to tear off the wrapping and had taken the unit from its packaging, and jumping some more, it became clear why. Bev held the tiny unit in her hand, shaking it close to her ear, and half-smilingly asked, "What is it?" Hahaha!

Oh well, the laughs and smiles these have put on our faces top it all for a week most memorable.
