June 04, afternoon
My brother sent me a text message to go to the hospital because my sister-in-law will be delivering any minute then. I came there around 6 in the evening and I thought she really was ready to get it all out but she can't feel any pain or sign that the baby was ready to come out and the baby was not moving. Then the tension started. My brother can't sit for a while because he was so tensed and worried about her wife and the baby.
So I was like there, supporting and all that. I was also taking care their baggage in times that my brother was needed to process something from the doctor's prescription.
I stayed awake all night. Though I was so eager to go home because I can't stand being in a hospital with no proper place to lie down plus you get to see bloody people, I stayed because I had no choice. Hihihi..
Anyway, ang ginawa ko nalang habang inaantay ko ang sunrise ay magbody count ng mga patay. The waiting area of OB department is located at the back beside the gate where dead people pass going to the morgue. Shit man, it was horrible, terrible, unbelievable at kung anu pang '-ble' na experience yun. I don't know if I would feel privileged kasi hindi lahat nakakakita ng patay ng ganun karami anu. Mga 7 lang naman ang dumaan sa harapan kong patay. Hindi lang naman sya ganun katipid. Lord, may all those souls are with you now.
June 05, morning
Morninng na, dilat na dilat parin ako pero feeling ko hindi na 'ko tatagal nang isang oras pagnag-stay pa 'ko until lunch.
By 8 that morning, I stood out and took a walk. For 16 hours (more or less) I was just there sitting on the hardest chair ever I've used -- waiting for the baby to come out. Quarter to 9, finally God gave me the chance to live more days because I really felt like I'm going to collapsed and die in seconds if I go back to that horrible waiting area and sit for more hours. My sister-in-law's mother came to the rescue. Sa walay pagduha duha, nilupad intawn dayon ko.
I had 4 hours of sleep. My stomach woke me up actually. I ate nothing from last night though I had dinner but that was an early dinner. I had my lunch right after I took a bath.
Then a surprise call came in around 3 in the afternoon. It was my employer. :) I had my 5-minute interview over the phone and I sort of passed because they asked me to come to their office the next day for the exam.
June 06, morning
I still don't have my resume. I'm screwed. Hahaha.. My exam schedule was 1:30 in the afternoon and by 10 in the morning I still don't have my resume. I don't have any more money that day actually so I have to withdraw an amount sent by my sister. You know what, ang tense nung time na yun kasi when I arrived at MLhuiller (where my sister sent the money), it was offline. Time check, it's 12:20pm. I was like going to blow. Hell, it's my first exam and have to make it. I was really worried because they said, most probably the system will be back around 1:30 and I'm dead by then. As in talagang kukulangin ang pera ko pag hindi ko nakuha yung money from there. Plus, I was not fit with my business attire and take note -- no printed resume in my hand yet. Well then , I was tested with my patience. Around 12:40 I guess, their system came back to life. Parang may naghahabol sakin nung time na yun because I was half walking half running. I went to GS Citimall to buy few coupon bonds and a folder. Then went straight to an internet cafe to print my resume. Time check, 1:00pm. I came back to my apartment to change oufit then went straight to my employer's office. When I came in, I have 5 minutes before call time. Damn, that was close.
Lesson learned: Get off student's comfort zone from now on. Procrastination, start hating it.
My exam's result? I passed. *wide grin*
My final interview was supposed to be in June 10 at 10:30AM.
June 07, morning
I went to Greenwich, Victoria Plaza because I forgot or the cashier forgot my change there the other day. Nag-take-out ako ng meal para dalhin ko sa hospital. I forgot because the cashier told me to give it to me along with the food. I was texting while waiting for it for like 10 minutes. My food was delivered and I left. That night, before I went back to my apartment, I dropped by at some 24 hour shop to buy something. Then there.. I remembered my forgotten change.
Good thing they gave it back to me though I don't have the reciept. Pare malaki laki rin yung change ko, hindi pa 'ko nagpupulot ng pera ngayon. Tsaka na..
Anyway, I visited the hospital again because my mother and my first niece was there. After the hospital visit, we went to GMall to grab some food. Then I went back to my apartment.
I was informed by my employer this day that my final interview will be moved on to June 09, same time. Oh, gosh that's a day to go..
June 08, afternoon
I went to SM to buy some stuff then to GS Citimall. I bought a new outfit by the way. Para at least kung hindi man ako makapasa sa final interview, naka-outfit ako. hahaha..
I tried to sleep around 11 but hardly can do. I think I finally did around 2 in the morning and set my phone alarm by 8:30 in the morning.
June 09, morning
I dragged myself out of bed and luckily I came in to my employer's office few minutes before my call.
The final interview was brief. It took 30-45 minutes I guess. The questions were straight and my answers were luckily straight and more like -- right. Hahaha..
At the end of the interview, the interviewer endorsed me to a training level. And that was it. My smile that time was the truest from the moment I stepped in to that room.
You know what was the question that took me a while to gather my answer? I was asked about my weaknesses. Hindi ko napaghandaan yun. At nagfefeeling feelingan daw ako na walang weakness kung kaya wala akong nasagot kaagad. Hahaha..
Whatever.
So what will I do now is to wait for their call to start on the training. They said, our trainer will be from Cebu and will be coming at the end of the month. Great. Hibernate mode napod ni. Shemper, hawd ko ana.
If the training will cooperate with me, then I'm off this city. :)
