After completing and able to submit all my requirements I’m now busy with my pre-employment medical check-up. So I went to Health way Clinic in Shangri-La Plaza based on the schedule date given to me. I’m a bit nervous with those injections and other test that require using needles. But thankfully the nurses on the medical clinic were all nice and friendly and I’m able to ask questions if I have. I’m amazed with them since they deal with the life of people and already familiar with vital signs.
But some misunderstanding happened between my company nurse and the medical clinic nurse. An authorization letter given by my company nurse was not acknowledged by the medical clinic. But my company nurse keep on insisting that authorization letter was acknowledge before and only me encountered that problem. So I keep going back to Makati to Shangri-La just to talk personally with the people involved.
Even though I studied and worked in Makati, I’m still not familiar with all the places, streets and villages around it. I keep on walking and asking for directions but I still get lost! Hmm what a tiring day!
Fortunately my pre-employment medical check up was fine and I was given a clearance with a note that I’m fit to work. So I’m ready to work and hopefully to start soon.
Here are some reminders for pre-employment medical check-up:
1. You need to go to the clinic on the date specified by your employer.
2. Make sure to have a good meal and drink at least 4 glasses of liquid an hour before going to the clinic.
3. Bring necessary papers and previous medical records upon arrival so they able to know if you have other medical/treatment history.

Yes, still busy completing all the requirements for my new employer all by myself. Before I can’t go somewhere else when I’m alone, I used to be accompanied either by my mother, friends or W. I’m worried I may get lost and didn’t accomplish anything.
Just like what happened yesterday, I need to go to BIR San Juan Greenhills to let them change the number of my RDO. Since I’m living in Cavite and working in Makati I’m not familiar to different places of San Juan except for Greenhills where we usually look for cheaper cell phones. I just keep on asking drivers and people on the street for some directions and luckily I found BIR safely but tiring.
After that I went to Pag-ibig Vito Cruz to ask for the summary of my contributions, then to Mapua Makati for my college certification and went back to HP for some other files.
But now I learned. I can say it’s an accomplishment to complete everything all by myself. All you need to do was to ask directions politely, don’t be shy to ask some questions or clarifications to other people and lastly be sure to have your money with you in case of emergency.
Still kindly add my website to your Technorati Favorites and I’ll do the same, just let me know.

I want to go somewhere else where I will be relax and pamper. I was lucky that my HR and Project Manager allowed me to use my vacation leave and that’s why I’m looking for a perfect place for me to visit. I want to take this long vacation before I start to my new job. I’m a bit nervous and worried as I got some feedbacks regarding that company that it was more serious than the usual worked I’ve done. And I’m back to regular and normal work schedule like going to work from Monday to Friday and having a rest day in Saturday and Sunday. I will miss my 4 days off and 4 days on schedule.
I want to visit some places that I’ve never been like Baguio, Puerto Galera and Boracay. But the problem is the busy scheduled of my friends and other people I want to come with me.
I already asked permission from my father to allow me to go to those far places and fortunately he allowed me. Maybe he realized that I need some break because since I was in college I never have this long vacation. Mapua have quarter semester system and were only given one week semester break and along with this is the enrollment. And during my college days my daily routine was school-home-church and nothing more. After I finished my college I immediately started to work and even I transferred to another company I was not given this kind of long vacation or break.
That’s why I really want to take this opportunity to have some relaxation before I go back to my busy and serious world.
Can you please help me to give some places I may consider visiting? I have 23 days left to visit those places.
By the way, we watched World Pyro Olympic 2008 last May 3, you can view my post here.
And please add my website to your Technorati Favorites and I’ll add yours in return, just let me know.
