passport renewal

I went early this morning at the Philippine Embassy here in South Korea which is located in Itaewon. I haven't been to the embassy but I know how to get to that station. I asked my Filipino colleagues here how to get to the embassy and I take down all notes for direction. Its hard to be lost, you know! And so, my journey goes on! And finally I found the embassy. It wasn't that far from the station, I first saw the Philippine flag when I climb the overpass.

I have filed my documents for the renewal of my passport at about 2:00 in the afternoon. There were so many Filipinos arranging their documents also.

After processing my papers and paying the right amount, I have to go back again after a month for the release of my new passport. By then, I know now the place so I won't have to look left and right, and left and right.
In the end, it was worth the trip by myself... I learned at least to be independent that day! Its really fun when you accomplished a simple duty with your instinct and trust to yourself!

same old routine

I didn’t feel like going to work today. Actually, I don’t feel like going to work any day at all. Haha! It’s not that I don’t like my job. Well, I'm doin fine right now, and I’m grateful that I have a job. But it can be really monotonous and boring. Just thinking about it, makes me want to skip it altogether. So just as this morning, I dragged my sleepy-eyed self out of bed, went to the sink, turned on the bathroom faucet, and splashed my face with cold water. Then I had a really cold shower, got dressed for work, grabbed a bite to eat, then off I went. It’s pretty much all I do every weekday, and that even adds to the monotony. Oh geesh, when can I vary up my routine and avoid feeling monotonous...? hmm ...!?

"tummy" ache

Its been a week now since I felt a gurgling sensation in my stomach, I just ignore it since I have a tolerance for pain... but then last Saturday morning while going to work, it felt different, there's something tingling and there's this urge to vomit slash take a vowel slash something. The pain is striking and it felt like there's an air inside my tummy. So by 10:30 am, I asked permission to go see a doctor and it was granted.

I arrived at the hospital here at about 1:30 pm. I was out at work by 12:30 pm (half-day) and I immediately proceed to the information section, later after filling forms the nurse called my name and then I was lead inside the room where the doctor is sitting holding a paper. Thank goodness that he can converse in English quite well or else it will be difficult for me to fully understand his explanation or maybe, I might just use my extra talent of "sign language". (I can understand and speak a bit of the Korean language but never it will be my career to master it) He examines my stomach and asks me where is the more painful part so I told him that it was on the lower level of my left body. After that, he told me to have an x-ray. After my x-ray session, he told me that there's a slight infection to my small intestine and to my abdomen that's why it is aching. He prescribed me to have an injection as a pain reliever and to take an oral medicines (antibiotics) for medication. And so, they inject me in my butt! That's the way they do injections here, with a little bit of spanking so you won't feel the needles. That's what they should also do in the Philippines so that little children would not be afraid of injections. I remember my vaccination in elementary, at the sight of the needle I immediately hide in my desk so that they won't see me and I cry soo really loud that they would go away from me,heh heh! But it doesnt work, I get vaccinated anyway.

As of now, after taking day 1 of medicine, my stomach is kind'a OK! I hope I would feel better soon! ( I won't skip meal and I will eat on time nah!)

I'm out...

....finally! a day in my life! I'm finally out of my shells...yippee!

Yesterday, I attended my ate Natalia's birthday celebration, its been also quite a while since we've seen each other, and also that day was like a reunion for us! I'm so happy to see my other big sisters there!
After work, I take my trip. I decided to have a sleep over so atleast by Sunday morning, I'm already there.

It was a long trip of less than 2 hours! ( by subway train and then by bus, wheew!)

I help them with the cooking ( uhmm, with the slicing portion...)

lately...

Its been a busy life lately! I think I don't have much time for myself ( like what I've said in my last post). Though I have time to surf the net, its still not enough.
Sometimes your patience is tested during this time... but nah, why should I be affected, its life (what's new?).
Then, I'll remember to wear a smile always... ; )

itz luv's boitday...

stay close...
