It was my interview day at Makati Med. I waited for our cue and filled up some forms. I just sat there and said hello to my batchmates & chatted with my fellow interviewees who were also my batchmates. Until the interview itself. It went well and we all did have great answers. I was even praised by one of the interviewers because I even still can remember the OR international safety protocol (or something like that). After the interview I checked on my friend if she was still there and yes they were still having their lecture. So I texted her to ask if I should wait for her. She said okay so I waited. While waiting some of my batchmates who were already in the program greeted me & even took time to chat with me a little. I was almost ready to go when my friend have finished and I eventually saw her. She apologized for me having to wait for her. So we talked and chatted our way out of MMC. Then right after we went out from the parking lot, my cellphone beeped. It was a text message from San Beda saying that I am already accepted to their college. To think that I already have the reservation form (which was with me cause I placed all my docs in one file case), they still texted me which made me think it was some sort of a sign that I should really think about which of the two I really wanted.
After almost 2 weeks MMC texted me for my Physical Exam. I woke up a bit late but managed to get out of the house by my expected time. And since this is the Philippines I came in late due to traffic. That 30 mins caused me to be scolded by the training dept. heads and eventually with me being annoyed. Why? How come during our interview one of the applicants who was an outsider, and late for 1 hour without any remorse was allowed to still be interviewed? While me I was just there to inform them that I would like to re-schedule my PE since I was a day before that. So I went out and started ranting about it in my head. Right then and there I told myself not to continue with that training anymore. I just hate how they feel so needed. Again like what I posted on FB & Twitter after that incident... "Hindi lahat ng nag-aapply atat pumasok sa inyo. Ginagawa ko lang ito para di ko masabi sa sarili ko balang araw na bakit di ko sinubukan." (In english: "Not everyone who tries to apply in your institution wanted to be in. I am just doing this for me not to regret that I have not tried to do such.")
After deciding and finalizing my decision, while I was teaching solo flight Standard First Aid, I recieved a call and ended it at once since it was an unknown number and continued my lecture. After the lecture during our short break I recieved a text from that number saying that he/she was from MMC and asking if I'm still interested in their training. Being decided and all I ignored it first because I don't know what to reply or how to say "Kitams ngayon kayo hahabol-habol sa akin kung papasok pa ako. Hindi na noh!" Of course I know saying such would cause me something bad so I just ignored the text. After my class I told my mom & dad about the text. They told me to reply kindly and saying the exact words I should type. After that kind text I sent a reply came up and it was a simple "goodluck.." sarcastic or genuine I appreciated it even though some might say it was just out of formality.
So now I waited for the results of PLM and yes right after my hectic week of teaching I had viewed the result that's why I have not knew it was out because I was not on the list. It was not a downfall for me it was somewhat a blessing in disguise waiting to be unfolded soon.
Now as I type this blog, I am now staring at my San Beda-COM reservation form getting ready to fill it out & as soon as I get well from the flu my pax gave me (just kidding) I shall go and pay that 20K reservation fee. PROUD AS EVER, BLESSED AS ALWAYS.
Like they always say, ONCE A BEDAN ALWAYS A BEDAN. Balik Bedista ang loka! ^_~
