Lazy Kitchen Ep. 9: Fried Rice

Against all evidence, this is not actually a cooking blog.

it's me, your girl (now with an MBA) • I wasn’t planning on making a celebratory post for earning my #MBA, mostly because the final steps weren't as climactic as I thought it would be. I received the news that I passed the capstone Strategic Management course one quiet afternoon in a long stretch of indistinguishable quiet afternoons, punctuated only sometimes by anxiety episodes and lazy kitchen adventures. We didn’t have the euphoria of red brick photos and after-defense dinners. We might also be the only batch of (future) MD-MBA holders who succeeded without an oral defense. We are surely the only batch who passed manuscripts that slowly became outdated and irrelevant. After all, none of us thought to put “impending pandemic” or “economic crisis due to prolonged quarantine” in our political, environmental and economic analyses. None of us wrote “what to do in case COVID-19 starts to expose the failures of society” in the contingency table in Chapter 10. Yet I’m still going to write about getting my MBA (obviously). I think there are many incoming medical students and ASMPH hopefuls who are wondering why there’s a need for doctors with MBA, especially in a world that needs equitable medical care and public health the most. This is for you, the person on the other side of this screen; you who are privileged enough to consume personal thoughts on social media. And this is for my past self, who is still slogging through MBA notes while taking a break from vital signs, and for my future self, who better not forget. Read full: https://jari-m.com/mba As this is still, technically, a celebratory post –thank you to our STRAMA professor, who is in the running for best adviser and lecturer of all time, Ma’am Azucena, RN, MAN, MBA; my partner company (especially my brother’s friend) for allowing me to learn from you; my sources of moral, financial and transportation support, my mother and sister (also for your marketing insights); my brother for connecting and inspiring me; my main reasons of not-screaming in despair, Ate Risa and Faye; and everyone else who has metaphorically held my hand along the way. Stay safe, stay indoors, and stay healthy! ❤

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY ❤❤❤ I've been thinking... It's day 57 of the quarantine, marking this the longest time we've been under the same roof since I went to college. Time flies really fast 🙈 In the future, I hope we still get to spend time together (outside naman pls) and we get to travel the world more and more 🥺 Stay healthy! Thank you for everything!!! 🙏 Raincheck muna sa gift and celebration!! @chatmonty #happymothersday

I miss travelling. 🥺🙈 Spent a hot second working on part 2 of my Japan blog post. Back to reality soon!! I can't wait. ❤ #japan #travel #stayathome #blogging #2020

"Happy Birthday, Bino!" It's been 19 years since we last celebrated your birthday --since we had anything like this photo together-- and I still catch myself thinking of random things that remind me of you. It's a really strange world now. We can connect to the Internet wirelessly, no one writes letters by hand anymore, we have a legitimate pandemic. But at least we'll eat well tonight and think of you. I love you.
