Long time no blog! Well, primarily because I was bust the last two days, and that I'm off trying to increase my posts in the boards by playing-Mod there.. (woo! I miss being a mod in *toot*) Anyway, so, ano naba nangyari?
>Friday:
got up early, went to school and, as expected, there were aLOT of people already. Luckily, as always, I arrived at the right time, because when I came up to the clinic door, the nurse's assistant came out and started handing out numbers! Wahahaha! You should've seen the expressions of those that arrived before me when he gave me the first number! Mwahahaha!
Anyway, after that commotion, those that got the umm.. later to be called priority numbers went off to walk around the campus... Then the assistant came out again, coz he accidentally gave the larger numbers! so, umm.. I had a 45 first, then I received a 30! Hahaha! I imagined the others waiting in line, then seeing me coming out of the clinic, all done! And it came out just like that, and much more!
As usual, the whole physical exam takes a LOT of time to finish... So they cut(ted) the numbers they would call for the morning (their break was 11:30, then re-open at 1:00) to 35! Hahaha! So, all the others that were thirty-six and above had to wait again till one o'clock! Hee hee!
Anyway, while they were waiting (lunchless...) I went off to my uncle's place (in the other side of the city) to have some lunch... After the quick meal (of some canned tuna) I topped it with some tamarind-candy dessert, which I managed to get from the sari-sari store (with consent, of course)
Ok... I went out to finish my tasks for that day (at one-thirty) and headed straight to the hospital to get a chest x-ray... Well, it appeared the rest of the students went off to that same hospital, so the radiologist was having a hard time drying the films (I had fun looking at them while waiting), encoding the results of the x-ray (which had to be done one by one for each person), operating the x-ray, and applying the chemical solution to it. And yes, he was alone. So, the whole thing got lazily boring (but I had some fun looking at the drying films). Luckily, some guy left (purposefully?!?) and I was then able to sit down.
Then, the time came and he called me to enter. He looked at my clothes (the torso area...) intently, as if searching for something. Wooh! If he wasn't critical for my getting a chest x-ray, I would've killed me for looking at me like that. Anyway, I found out he was looking for metal stuff in my clothes. I didn't have any, so he led me to the x-ray, where he told me to stand in front of some metal plate, take a deep breath, while he ran away to somewhere behind me. I closed my eyes as I imagined millions upon millions of harmful "radiation" pass through my body. It was done surprisingly fast though, and I was told to come back today for the results.
Hmm... Wait. Adding up something, the whole physical examination was really PHYSICAL. After filling up that damned meticulous form (which asked as if we ever drank a tablet of Paracetamol, or if we have experienced an illness called "FLU") We entered (one person at a time) to the head nurse (who was an aging lady)... She began to ask me questions in a different language, and realized she wasjust talking too fast. I managed to decode some of her words, and said "no ma'am" (she was asking me if I have experienced a shock or a seizure before) then another set of hyper-fast questions, which were all answerable with no. Really. She was asking me if I have experienced unusual stuff regarding my health. Ok, it was for my own good, so I'm happy. Anyway, next, she told me to strip. Hee hee! Yes, take off all of my clothes except underwear. I was very much prepared for that.. I wore a set that was easy to take off and pull back on. Hmm... Standing with only my underwear on... Certainly, I wouldn't have done it if she was a man, or if the door was a slit open. She told me to lie down on the umm.. bed. She put the stethoscope on her ears and began hastily placing that cup like thing over various places of my torso. Then, I was told to sit on the bed while she searched for stuff with her stethoscope on my back. The she ordered me to open her mouth, then she searched for stuff on my eyes. Hee hee! That was the weirdest clinic activity I have ever experienced. I was praying they would just accept medical certificates from other doctors... But now that I'm done, I'm very much happy now.
>Saturday (today)
I was off rather early today, having been forced to umm... Sleep in the other house (which is adjacent to our house, by the way) because we had visitors. (ooh.. I forgot to add that to the part about yesterday...) Anyway, our family is a huge fan of traditional medicine. (You must see our garden of herbal remedies and the sorts...) And we have recently acquired the services/ acquaintance of a very good "manghihilot" or umm.. Massage therapist specializing in the treatment of various diseases and illnesses, as well as phenomena unexplainable by science... Wooh! So, they talked until about twelve. But by that time, I was well asleep, because I slept at nine (I was feeling ill after everything that happened)...
Ok. So on to what happened on Saturday, or rather, today. I went to the hospital to get the result of my x-ray. Unfortunately, the radiologist only gave me the results, and not the umm.. picture of my chest as it appears under x-ray. (I would've loved to have it framed behind a lamp here in my room... But, Oh well..) So, with the pink sheet of paper on hand, I rode off to the clinic again... There were much more people there than yesterday, the fans in the ceiling were just circulating the heat. Luckily, I found a tall friend (whose umm... head was well above everyone else's) who gave my results to the assistant. I thanked him and went home. The time was about 2 o'clock. Oh! I didn't go straight home; I went to the nearby mall (which, if compared to the other malls in the metro cities, is just a grocery..) and bought a few treats for myself. Ok. Then I went home. I was a bit surprised to find my monitor a little warm, and asked my cousin who used it. It wasn't him, of course, for it was clear he was fresh from slumber then. It must have been my other cousin, who didn't sleep, supported by the presence of two error messages that were caused by a game I didn't play anymore.
Ok! So, after knowing who somehow decoded my brain and figured out the password, I changed the access code to a much more complicated one, and went off straight to the roseboards, where I read a post that said that the DC was no more. Happy, I logged in and found out it was true. I played around with my level 24 bow hawker, finished a quest (I mean a part of a quest) and stopped upon reaching 26. Oh! and I found that Mr. Leg panda was talking about in the JP market, and I took a SS of it. Hee hee! At least I get a post up for it. Oh. And HeavenFlung (my hawker) is my highest-leveled character in pola, because I started off in Sirius, where StarrySlash is 59... Hee hee.. I'm gonna be a noob forever.
Oh! And about rose, I tried to plus my red beret hat to 4. It failed once, but I finally got it the second time around. Hee hee hee!
What a long post to cover two days of my life.. Hee hee!
