Look Good, Feel Great, Have Fun at Watsons!

When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.



I was hired at Watsons Philippines as a Pharmacist early this year.

Another path opened for me and its very different from my previous job.

Being a community pharmacist is a very crucial job, that we will able to deal with patients,
give their required medications, counsel them in their health needs and be able to provide and exceed expectations in providing health services.

I also admit that being in this setting gave me different perspectives, good or bad, happy and sad...
But, we are very touched to see people happy especially when we were able to give our best service and heart especially to our patients.



I'm happy to meet my new friends, new colleagues to deal with... and I consider them as my new family...

ME and KATRIN, my co-Pharmacist

What is the recipe for successful achievement?

To my mind there are just four essential ingredients:
Choose a career you love,
give it the best there is in you,
seize your opportunities,
and be a member of the team.

Me As A Manufacturing Pharmacist

I previously worked at a famous sterile manufacturing company in Mandaluyong,

where I really learned a lot in the field of production, how to handle a line, people, meet quotas and how to manage entire batch of products..

I'm glad that I am able to be given this kind of opportunity , that I met reputable company, awesome colleagues and wonderful people in this job..

Part of my everyday routine is to ride a bus from our city going to Magallanes station of MRT up to Boni Ave station, I experienced heavy traffic, electricity breakdown that caused MRT not to pursue travel, floods, and even dyspnea inside MRT that in a flash, I'll faint , but then I'm so lucky that MRT door suddenly opened that gave way for me to inhale oxygen! (Im turning blue.. literally, color blue! :D)

Anyway, although I stayed there for 3 months.. those times that gave me knowledge, experience -  happy or bad that I'll be able to treasure and kept in my heart and mind..

I miss my super ever messy desk!

Another journey closes, but I know there's some thing that awaits me.. to render my duty as a pharmacist and be able to explore another setting which I will be more efficient...

These are the good people with a good heart that I met, their smiles and laughter's will always be remained, and our friendship I think will be the same till we cross our paths again.

Quality Control and Pharmacists

Yeah... I'm missing our pizza party sooo bad......

I think this is the last part of my blog... 

I can no other answer make but thanks, and thanks, and ever thanks...

Pharmacist's Oath Taking January 2012 Passers

"Maintain your INTEGRITY as a healthcare professional, 
have the COMMITMENT to enhance COMPETENCE all the time 

and know how to COLLABORATE with other members of health care team

 including the patient."

In a Filipino perception,  a pharmacist is simply one who sells medicine, who stands behind drugstore counters, busily taking the prescriptions from customers and giving them the medicines they need.

But, I just want to imply that pharmacist is more than just being a seller of medicines. Pharmacists are the medication managers and counselors, who help patients achieve the optimum benefits of medication.

“Pharmacists play a crucial role in the effective delivery of health services… We call our pharmacists medical experts, they are the ones who study the details and components of a drug or medicine,”

A Pharmacist's duty is to check the prescription for any potential adverse drug effects and interaction, and results of inappropriate dosing. Pharmacists provide medical counseling to patients for various diseases and lastly provide drug information to guide the public and other health professionals as a health care team player.

Im glad that I'm one of the licensed Pharmacists here in the Philippines...  

Together with my colleagues, we will do our very best on our job to prove that

THE FILIPINO PHARMACIST IS AN INDISPENSABLE PROVIDER OF MEDICATION EXPERTISE

I was feeling great this day! As I achieved one step of the ladder of my success and I was with my mother who really took care and stayed beside me during my good and hard times.. 

Thanks to our friend Ms. Gellie , who made my make-up that made me look fab and natural

He/She said "pale pale-an ang labanan teh.." but i loooovvveeee it.

Even after a looonnngggg day,..... 

Looking great!! 

Thanks for dropping by!! ~~~
