Happy Monday!
3
So, 10 o 'clock ang aking shift today.
4
And I haven't updated you guys after our vacation.
5
I haven't yet edited the third part, but I will take you on my weekly work this week.
6
Thank you!
7
Aww, I'm gonna go!
8
So I'm assigned to blister packing today,
9
not for compound because Diane will compound, unfortunately, because it's Monday. And so good!
10
But before we get stuck sa ating blister packing, what are we gonna do is to...
11
Hello, good morning, I'm Alvira.
12
Hello, this is Kim just speaking from Hamasapel.
13
I'm just going to let you know that your compel is now ready for shopping.
14
Okay.
15
Back to my packing life.
16
Packing, huh?
17
Not the other words.
18
lucky to know that I can feel that I really grow.
19
So I'm really excited about it.
20
I'm not sure that I'm going to do it.
21
I'm not sure that I'm going to do it.
22
I'm kind of slow now.
23
I feel like I'm going to finish my holiday.
24
There are other private companies that are holidays.
25
But then it doesn't mean that you don't do it.
26
There's always something to do here in the pharmacy.
27
And sometimes when you don't have time, you don't have time.
28
and we can't do a lot of things like filling the vials, filling the papers, cleaning, organizing.
29
Because we're not going to do it every time the day is hectic or toxic.
30
So, let's go back to the pack.
31
If you can see, I can't see the name.
32
Of course, we can't be able to put it in there.
33
You can see this is the recipe that you need to use.
34
And this is the recipe.
35
When you get it, for example, this is a pizza bag.
36
I have to buy it.
37
And it says it's 8 and 17.
38
It's like 8 and 17.
39
12, 17, and 21.
40
I'm going to ask the pharmacist for them to double check if it's okay.
41
I'm going to pack the bag.
42
I'm going to pack the bag.
43
So, these are the two weeks.
44
It's a two -week pack.
45
For those of you, I'm going to comment on why I mix languages like Tagalog and English.
46
Why not purely English?
47
I'm interested to know what I'm doing, what I'm doing, what I'm doing, what I'm doing.
48
But then, as much as possible, I'm doing my best to speak purely English.
49
But sometimes, I just want to be myself.
50
For this vlog, I just want to be as authentic as possible.
51
I wish there was a blister packing in Philippines because the in -blocking maintenance is hard if you're not blistered.
52
So it's better if there is a packing system that is closer to us.
53
For sure, there are many patients who are using polypharmacy.
54
I'm going to get a little bit of a drink.
55
There are people in my face.
56
So, boss told me to build a file for three compounds.
57

76
So I just got a concealer and a lot of moisturizer.
77

78

79

80

81
It's like a chunk of chunk.
82

124
I saw the exclamation mark.
125
So the next available date as I've come today.
126
It doesn't mean like that because it's just your prescription.
127
Maybe the doctor opted to remove this particular ingredient from the compound because it doesn't benefit you anymore.
128
So I'm just confirming if you know anything about this.
129
Sure.
130

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
