First Things First

Hi there! As promised, I will tell you more about myself on my next blog so here it is!

I am Ruby Palabasan, a pure Filipina from a little town of Pateros in Metro Manila, Philippines.

I studied BS Biology major in Microbiology at University of the Philippines Los Banos.

I entered the university on June 2008 and graduated last April 2012.

You might think that I took this course because I want to pursue medicine. Actually, I do not have any plans on pursuing medicine in the first place because I know that it requires a lot of determination, passion, time and money. Unfortunately, I got none of any(haha). I think it's  not for me.

Since I didn't go to med school, I have to find a decent job. Luckily, I got hired at National Food Authority Food Development Center as a Research Analyst but on a contractual basis. In a span of one month, I fell in love with my job. Actually, its my dream job. In our lab, we are doing some analysis making sure that the food you are consuming has low microbial load that's why our job has very important role in the food industry :)

Enough about my job, well, I am also in love with beauty and fashion. Behind my lab gown, head cap and mask, you will see a totally different person, not the typical geek that pops in to your mind when you visualize a microbiologist.

I think that's it! And oh, I would like to thank Michelle Magramo of Micmic's Corner for encouraging me to venture in blogging :)
