POEA Card turned Receipt

I was even excited to get a new ID I can now keep in my wallet. All I got was paper receipt in two duplicates.

I have finally completed my requirements for the POEA today, after getting my medical results yesterday. I would’ve finished everything the same day I went out to pick up those results, I just wasn’t able to make to the 3.30pm cut-off in the processing of payments for the overseas employment certificate (it’s a certificate after all, not an e-card! Isa lang ang sagot nilang lahat sa akin kung bakit wala nang card: nagtitipid ang gobyerno!).

Search for the New Short Hairstyle

I am seriously thinking of cutting my hair short again since after just a couple of months of officially having my nape exposed with that simple bob that I had last summer, it has gone longer that fast already.

I basically have an oval-shaped face, which they say is the most versatile face shape to style, and with it I am actually considering to be a little bolder this time around with a pixie cut. I’ve always wanted to sport a short, boyish cut, but still posing that very feminine spunk.

Med Exam

I woke up at around 8am today in preparation for my morning poop so I could scoop a sample stool that I will have to submit for medical examination today. After the seminar that we attended yesterday, my colleague and I passed by BioMedix, found at the 3rd floor of Robinson’s Galleria, which is just across the POEA office. We inquired about the basic charge (it’s 850php for a Phase 1 med exam), and in return were advised to bring stool from home that is 2 hours fresh at most.

Early Day at the POEA

At 6pm through FedEx yesterday, the employment contracts finally arrived-- the long, missing requirement that we have been waiting for since we got our visa back in May. And look where we have just been today-- to the POEA office. The most dreaded time has passed.

Anyway, I think we survived the day. Thank heavens.

Hangeul

In the days and weeks that I have been bumming around with life, I’ve sporadically gone online for tutorials on speaking and writing the Korean language, in what I foresee as one of the most basic preparations that I have to do before I venture to Kimchi-land.

It didn’t really turn out hard to learn, compared to how I initially thought it would be. Any foreign language can be really intimidating at first, and with how seemingly complicated the strokes of the Korean letters go, anyone may have second thoughts of pursuing the language.

The Juday-Ryan Engagement

Some women just naturally come out as winners. They may even have experienced major backstage stabbing at the beginning, but steals the limelight looking glamorous at the end of it all. Oh, life suddenly becomes so beautiful to them.



JUDY ANN SANTOS IS NOW ENGAGED TO RYAN AGONCILLO. (Issue!?!?!?! LOL.)

On E-L-L-A, the name

GMA-7 is airing a new Korean comedy series this Monday (July 7) on its afternoon watching streak entitled HELLO! MY LADY, and they are calling the lead character ELLA. I’d like to think it’s a good advertising for such a nice name (eherm), until I caught on the lead’s basic profile as per the TV station’s initial teasers.

Baduy. Probinsyana. Jologs.

Aba, aba!

On Ellen

I am going to end this week as a couchpotato. Again.

I caught on the Ellen DeGeneres Show today, and only Ellen could do this. She’s amusingly crazy at times. Hitting the head with a bottle? The beauty queen sure looked scared when she caught on Ellen with the bottle at hand. Haha. That’s far worse than a peppermint spray on the Puerto Rican title holder, who was allegedly sabotaged in the beauty contest, but nevertheless got the crown despite the itching brought about by the peppermint put in her evening gown.
