my sister is now a doctor!

When I had my own trouble with my set of teeth, dealing them with my dentist this summer, my sister on the other hand sweated through the month of May taking up the theory and practical board exams to become a dentist. And just this morning the results finally came, and voila!, my sister just became an official dentist.

Now she can already thoroughly deal my teeth. Yay!

Out of 802 who reviewed, only 264 of them passed! And to think of it my sister, Merry Sharon Carnice-Diabo, was just some little more points away to be listed on the Top Ten! Now that’s a feat.

Well, here’s the rest of the good news from Manila Bulletin Online.
