This is the second half of my old post # 2.
back when i was in college, i applied for student assistant job. It's kinda cool 'coz i get to enter and leave our college office whenever i want :) also, our class schedules are not that toxic, so we really got time for these stuffs.
One of the requirements for the job is a physical exam. here's my misadventures for it!
Enjoy!

My Medical Madness
I told you last time na I’ll be applying for student assistant ryt? Eh, isa sa mga requirements nila ang medical certificate… kaya nagpamedical ang kuneho.
I went to the clinic to get a discount card at the “physician’s tower”, so that my urinalysis, CBC (complete blood count) and chest X-ray will only cost me 150php.
(I must be thrifty! I don’t have much money left!)
Pagpunta
Sa U.N Avenue lang naman siya, so it’s not that far from our school.
Si Manong Dumi!
“oh! Bili na kayo para may paglagyan na kayo ng dumi”
That is the opening statement that welcomed me in the physicians tower… nagulat talaga ako sa sinabi nya… un pala, that place is one of the few medical laboratories that is prescribe by the agencies to people who want to go abroad under them. Meaning… super medical talaga siya… complete! Para dun sa mga mangingibang bansa…
4th floor, “akin na ang iyong LARAWAN”
Heto pa isa… sumakit ulo ko, hahaha, napakapilipino ng pagkakabanggit nung humihingi siya ng ID picture… buti may dala ako… kung hinde, paktay… magpapapicture ko ng wala sa oras, mahal pa naman, (remember the keyword? Thrifty!)
Damian…Damian…
Sino un??? The cashier is calling someone named Damian… slang pa kamo ung pagkakabanggit… parang DAMIENNE ang pagkakasabi… ang nakakapagtaka, AKO lang naman ung naghihintay dun!
Un pala…
Damian…Damian… Danan… Aldrich???
<kung anime ako, tumambling na ako palabas ng tower>
Mr. PLM
After I paid sa cashier… 150php I went sa laboratory, passed the paper from the cashier and waited for my name to be called…
Nakatayo lang ako sa harap nung tatawag ng name…
Nakakangawit…
Uupo n asana ako ng biglang
“Mr. PLM!”
Sabay abot ng lalagyan ng WEEWEE.
Bwahahaha, parang alam nila na ako ung nanalo sa Mr. and Ms. PLM ah… hahaha, JOKE!!!
Interviews…
So after the “vial” was given to me, I rushed to the rest room kasi naweeweewee na talaga ako… wenk!wenk!
And init… nung lalagyan… HAHAHA!
Oh tama nay an… nakakadirRRRZZZ nah
After that, I sat down and waited for, again, my name to be called.
Eh madaming naghihintay, aba, edi nanginterview muna ako ng mga tao dun…
Lam nyo, lahat halos ng nakausap ko, puro magaabroad! May Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Papua (? Huh! May trabaho pala dun!) at marami pang iba… halos lahat, middle east ang work!
May isa lang na local… si lady guard, ang mahal ng pamedical ng mga magaabroad! 2.6k! complete na naman un sabi nila, at pahayag pa ng ibang mga tao dun, after mu makapagpamedical… at cleared ka, ilang tulog na lang pasko na… eh este, aalis ka na…lilipad na!
Gwahoo!!! Ang Blood test
They called our names na and each was given 1 small test tube… yup… that is where they will put your blood for analysis..
Nung nakuha na naming, kinakabahan kami… hahaha, lahat nung mga nainterview ko,dinaga!!! Hahaha,
Sabi nung isang welder na pupunta ng Saudi,
“meron nga dyan isa, pulang pula nung pumasok, nung lumabas ang putla!”
Tawanan kami…
I thought, since kanina pa sila nakapila, sila mauuna… can’t wait to see the agony and pain in their faces nang biglang
Aldrich Danan, PLM!!!
Hala!!! Ako pala mauuna! Howmigawsh!
Inaalala ko baka tumaas ang blood pressure ko, sa sobrang kaba!
Hala sige, upon a… binigay ko na ung weewee ko sa kanya, and raised my right sleeve na, para madali… tinalian na ako ng goma…
And then, may tinatanggal siyang malaking parang plastic, nung nilabas nya ung laman, halos himatayin ako sa gulat!!!
Anlaki ng KARAYOM!!!!
WhaA!
<kung anime lang ako, tumambling na ako…pauwi!!! Hahaha>
Braced myself…
Closed my palm…
And slowly…the…needle… entered… my …b.o.d.y……

This is easy, though my arm still hurt a bit…
Kinakabahan talaga ako… baka may kung ano makita nila!!! Howmigawsh talaga…
Post ko dito results…
Jobs for the …
I really don’t know kung ano itatawag sa kanila. Maybe…”survivors” is a better term for this.
Sa basement… nagpaxerox ako ng document na magpapatunay na I undergo medical na. and there are these “survivors” working…that has stable jobs… it’s really amazing and cool.
May nagtratrabaho dun, naputulan ng arm… ang ginawa, they placed his hand and connected it sa siko nya… and amazingly.. its working! Ztig talaga!there are also mga may clef (bingot) na paiayos through operation, na nagtratrabaho din…
Nakakatuwa na government do give these survivors so many chances to prove to the society that they have their own skill and specialty! APRUB!
Well, that’s it for today… ang haba noh, thanks for reading… ‘till my next misadventure!!
