Default electrical question - Can romex be run though ceiling joists ?

I have a flat roof territorial style home with 2 x12 ceiling joists though
out the home. This is also a slab home...so no basement or attic to work
in/through.

If I run additional electrical outlets/circuits/lines...can I drill a 1/2 to
3/4 inch hole along the path of my wiring in the ceiling joists to extend my
romex to whatever location is planned ?

Otherwise...how do you do something as simple as installing a ceiling fan
circuit in any room ?

Thanks, Tim R
