Yep, Rose! I know a real true beauty when I see one.  In those days we hardly used make-up and facial/beauty makeover was unheard of.  Nowadays, I'm so impressed with make-up artists the way they do magic with Oprah and other plain-looking and ugly women.  Okedoke.  Nagsalita ang maganda.  When I wake up in the morning I now see a few lines here and here.  I admit "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Sometimes we probably think alike.  I was at work in the microbiology room one day, looking at the bugs in the microscope, when our lab secretary came in telling my other co-worker, "nakita mo si Oprah, ang pangit without her make-up."  I saw the particular segment the day before where Oprah was running in a Chicago marathon and she did not have make-up.  I said to myself, oo nga.  Everytime I see Oprah that's what I think.  OMFG! I thought the Oprah Show that was in fact a long running reality show would never end! I've only seen her show 4 times all these years.   Really and truly, make-up artists work miracles and give you a million-dollar look!



I remembered a jeep owned by a friend of one of our batchmates was stolen inside the lot of San Juan de Dios Hospital.  Did he find out who stole his jeep? I did not know what happened after that and there was no follow up if the jeep was recovered.  Why did the medical intern get sued when he owned the jeep?  This is confusing to me.


I think there are more good memories than bad memories.  Those were the days, my friend, we thought it would never end.

Memories... that's all we have left,but I agree it was a lot of fun.  Budz, did you describe me as a "real true beauty"?  " Nakakapangilabot". Your eyes must have been damage by looking at too many cells on the microscope, but thank you anyway. Another incident I remember was the stolen jeep. The medical interns were sued but was practically given just a slap in the hand by the judge because of political connections. Those are just a couple of memories , there were a lot more and they always makes me smile. --- On Thu, 6/9/11, Budz1 wrote: From: Budz1 Subject: Print Ad Commercials Back Then To: "budz1 Date: Thursday, June 9, 2011, 2:41 PM Sure, I remember very well some of the actors and actresses in these ads.  One of them was Pancho Magalona.  He had this popular TV show on ABS.  We were MedTech interns then at San Juan de Dios Hospital.  One day, during our noonday break, my batchmates and I decided to see The Pancho Magalona show.  One of the main features was "Queen For A Day" and Pancho looking at the audience for a girl to pick.  His eyes caught our group because we were in glorious. impeccable white uniform and he finally focused on Rose who's a real true beauty.  Rose Q being quite shy declined.  However, not a moment was wasted because Josie (Perez), another attractive okay-lang sigue na batchmate (I always thought of her as the Filipino "Joey Heatherton"), was chosen by Pancho.  This was not the end of the story: someone saw the show and reported us to the Dean's Office.  You know, the school being conservative thought we should not be there when we should be at the hospital or whatever.  I did not bother what happened after that, no doubt someone got chastised, because I hid in the Pharmacy Garden and good thing for me, I'd always maintained a very low profile in those days and up to now may I add, so as not to catch attention by the elites and be called to answer questions in class by my professors.  OMFG! Up to these days I had no idea how I passed my B.S.
