On April 8, 2006, mom and I went to Chinese General Hospital but the doctor was away. *lol* We fetched hunbun and had lunch at Conti’s in Greenhills. The salmon and baked prawns were yummy - but not too yummy to keep going back to that restaurant. Although I want to try their pastries. We headed to Robinson’s Galleria to shop for clothes for my internship. I bought 3 Lee polos (I’m a Lee Girl! ), 1 FreeWay tankini, and 1 Wade shoes. Then, we went to McDonalds in Pasig because my cousin’s son is celebrating his 2 year-old birthday. It was a mini-reunion for my mother’s side relatives.

On April 10, 2006, I called Canon early morning to finalize my decision. I talked it over with hunbun and my mom and opted for the Contractual Employee deal. *hmmm* I went to downtown to get my Social Security System Number and National Bureau of Investigation Clearance. One of our secretaries accompanied me to get an SSS but the whole system was offline so I couldn’t apply for one. Good thing they allowed proxies. We walked a long way to get to an NBI location. It was an incredibly horrid experience. There were so many people, to the point where you feel suffocated. People were lining up everywhere and the sad thing is that they didn’t even know what they were lining up for. I had to return to claim my clearance again. *ugh* I will never do that again if I can help it. I got a bad headache from all that.

The next day I returned to Chinese General Hospital to get my thyroid checked out. Mom and I waited for quite a while before we were entertained. The doctor did not find anything wrong thankfully. She just said that I was stressed. Well, that was very true. Oh, why did I go to the doctor? For three days the week before, I kept throwing up because I couldn’t breathe after I ate. Ted the PT said that maybe it had something to do with my thyroid gland. The doctor did give me some anti-regurgitation pills though.

We went home to eat then headed to Eastwood for my Canon medical exam. I called before hand to ask if I need to fast but the attendant said no. *sigh* But the doctors there said that it was S.O.P. to fast so I had to return since I have my period anyways.

Hunbun also got a new haircut that day. It’s okay I guess, I just really dislike any change. That night he fetched me because it was his brother’s birthday celebration. We went to have buffet dinner at Heat in EDSA Shangri-La Hotel. They have bread pudding there! My favorite! Too bad I couldn’t have special ice cream because I was sickly.

On April 12, 2006, hunbun and I went to The Podium to have my Canon 45mm x 45mm ID picture taken. Hunbun had a late lunch at Pinoy Don and of course, I joined him. They served the garlic mushroom pasta which I liked. *hehe* And that night, hunbun brought me home take-out taro from Emerald Garden!
