IM SO BACK!!!

Hello everybody! Its been a year since my last blog and I've been wanting to blog again. How is me? Im very busy, so busy that I wasn't able to blog for a year. Tonight though is different, I can't help my smiling but that's another blog (secret blog in my head hehehe). Anyway, I am very excited for the upcoming International Symposium on Drug Product Quality and Regulations this Tuesday and Wednesday, at last something very related to what I do from the Faculy Development Program of the Philippine Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (PACOP). The industry is gonna be there as well including Ms. Lulu of PSD in FDA.

What has been going since I'm out. Well, I'm fat!!! very fat already but I'm giving myself a deadline to be normal again... soon. I got a certification on Pharmacotherapy from UST (Yes!!! It finally arrived in the Philippines), I am still writing my proposal though - no improvement since I am on major revision when I defended my dissertation last February. BTW, I am already a full-time faculty at St. Dominic College of Asia and left Medco for a handsome pay and meaningful work so I am now living in Dasmarinas (near Tagaytay), I also left Adamson University (miss them). As usual, I am still busy with regulatory work at PerkinElmer and I joined the new association in town, Philippine Association of Medical Device Regulatory Affairs Professionals (PAMDRAP), a spin off from PAPPI.

What eats my time the most is the module making, for last semester I did Pharmaceutical Botany with Taxonomy and Introduction to Pharmacy. Soon all my dreams will come true and will be able to publish an academic material and contribute to the industry. Well, I guess we'll be discovering more of what I did when I was out for a year as we go along because remember, I am first and foremost a Pharmacist, I am Alex Stranded, the Pharmaceutical Joke of the Philippines.
