With the consultants and Residents of the UP-PGH Dept of Psychiatry

With Ma'am Liecel Fulgencio, Chief Resident extraordinaire
(Note: in PGH, seniors aren't called "Doc" or "Doctor", but Ma'am and Sir. It took a little getting-used to)

With the Residents

The famous photographer Raymund Isaac was there to give a mini-speech, and I won his coffeetable book in the raffle. (I'm being the adoring fan here, and having him sign my book, "My name is Stephanie, Sir..." (and you know what he signed in? "Stephanie, Thanks for listening." hehe. :-p Okay... 

All in all, it was a fun event that was successful. ;-)
