The weather is pretty nasty today, but for some odd reason, I like it. I hate having thunderstorms back home especially when I have to report for work that day in my smart casual outfit. I hated it even more when I lived in hellside (the real name of the place is hillside, but the streets are just HELL)you have to deal with big puddles of mud early in the morning and you might as well walk barefoot 'coz you get mud all over your stilettos and office pants. You're lucky if it's just mud, but sometimes hellside gives you more hell by giving you a flooded walkway with nowhere else to go. The house we live in was pretty, but the road is just way too worse to even describe. I survived a year there. Kudos to me and my 2 other roommies!

So the weather today reminded me of the Philippines, but this time I have a smile on my face 'coz I'm just lounging on the couch with the a/c on with no chances of changing into a smart casual outfit and catch the bus. And even if I have to report for work, the roads are paved and the bus stop is less than a block from where I live.

This gloomy Saturday afternoon is a perfect way to chillax, sip a hot cup of coffee (which I don't have right now), cover yourself up in a warm blanket, and listen to great music. Talk about having a relaxing weekend!

May you have a great weekend too! :)

Medical Examination at SLMCEC

November 9-10, 2009 This will be a blow by blow account of my medical exam that took place last week. If you want to be first in line, you can be there as early as 3am, but I went there at 5am because I wanted to make sure that I am safe while taking the exam and I don't want to wait in line for 2-3 hours. It was a good move, since they were already accepting applicants at 5am and I got in around 5:20am and I was the 54th applicant of the day. Make sure to have the following ready: 1. Passport 2. 4 2x2 visa pictures (they will only take 3 though, but I brought 4 since that's their requirement) 3. Original and photocopy of approval letter from the embassy 4. Print out of your interview schedule 5. Black ballpoint pen 6. Payment (213.35 - exchange rate is at 48) Flow chart: 1. At 5:30 I already got in and filled out the Patient Data Sheet form. Memorize your fiance's address and phone number or at least have a copy of it. 2. The guard called us up for the digital picture taki...

I'm not so evil after all

" I never got the chance to be your trainee, but I heard a lot of good things about you Ms. Dee." Reading this post from someone I barely even know made my heart flutter. I know that I have been totally brutal with my trainees when I was still working as a trainer back home 'coz I want them to be excellent in their field. I know I was hated by many 'coz I don't know how to kiss people's asses. I even almost got in trouble with our big boss when I was only passing a few people during interviews. A lot of people were mad at me 'coz of my unbelievable standards. A lot of times it did affect me and all I wanted was to please everyone, but I was also pushed by my one of my supervisors not to lower my standards. I got reprimanded for passing a few people during interviews by our big boss, and I got reprimanded by my direct supervisor for passing a lot of trainees during my class. I was totally confused when I was starting up in my new field. But time, experience...

New face same person

I changed the look of my blog today 'coz as I felt like I had to change the picture that I placed on my blog's header, since another year has been added to my exciting journey as a perpetually tanned Filipina. I had to admit though that I was way healthier and younger 2 years ago. I kept the picture on one of my folders to remind me that for once in my life I did fit into those tiny shorts and body hugging tops. My head did hurt from picking my new template. I checked out a lot of websites and I did like a lot of templates, but it took me awhile to pick the template which will suit the theme of my random rants. I picked this new look because it reminded me of my childhood days wherein I use any piece of paper to express how I feel. In the end, I had to burn those pieces of paper/compilations 'coz my mom always finds a way to read them and we usually end up in a very 'interesting' conversation. My mom is one detective I dare not cross and she will usually scavenge in...
