2.  Upon entering the building, there is a big table on the right to show your papers and to get your number.
3.  Pass your papers when number is shown on the top of perspective window and wait for the stub that will be given to you on which date of release is indicated.

Serious Pimple

sebaceous hyperplasia

 

That was what the doctor said when I showed my three eyed pimple on my chin.  What the hell are you talking about? As what i was saying to myself.  I am so happy that she saw my little bumps on my chin.  Other doctors that I showed this said that these are only acne scars and can be taken care of by continuous facial or by the solution they were selling. Another doctor also said that I can't do anything since this is in my blood line.  I don't want to see that doctor any longer!

I became desperate and decided not to care at all and thought of putting make up on it.

So below is her details.

Marivic R. Cabillos, M.D.

Patients First Medical Center

Tues 1-5PM, Thurs 5-9PM

She suggested to take oral medications, but before doing so I need to have below tests.

1.CBC

2.Urinalysis

3.FBS

4.Triglyceride

5.Cholesterol

6.SGPT

7.BUN

8.Creatinine

Since these tests are not for free when using company HMO, I am glad that our company nurse is so helpful that she suggested what to do in able to have these tests for free. 

360 Fitness Club in BGC

I am actually excited to attend the free trial in 360 Fitness Club newly open in BGC.  All I did was call below number and had my schedule.  Since I talked with Coach Marvin, he said that I can bring along 2 more with me.  He said if I will tag along more friends, they will be accomodated after 30 mins.  I hope they have good deals though so I could really join their services.

Video Making

The first time I intended to make a video was the time I went to Potipot with friends on my 30th birthday.  One of my friend has Hero 2 camera and he took most of our activities in videos.  After posting all the pictures in my facebook account, I had this thought that I just put into waste the videos taken.  I then asked my boyfriend to teach me to how make a video.  It was a little confusing on how to make a video at first but when you get the hand of it, you will definitely enjoy making them.

The only thing I don't like in making a video is that I really have to watch those videos.  That means, you have to put on more time than the usual.  Let me show you these videos I made.

Command of Movie Maker in Windows

moviemk.exe



Since video making is in today, I decided to learn how to make a video with music to document my outing and whatever happenings in life.  On the other hand, I am unsure how come the said command is not working on windows 7.

See below link for the first video I made.

7.  and fixing up was the ender of our activity...since the restroom was not that good, we decided to take a bath on the nearest poso.

casual wear

My boyfriend has been applying for jobs lately.  We came to a part that he has to wear casual.  Since I am used to dress up for an interview with a coat, it made me feel confused.  Was I wearing in interviews casual or formal? 

As i researched more about casual wear.  I finally found this human resources site and found samples of casual wear.  Basically, you can wear jeans but not with rubber shoes but with sneakers. For boys, tops should be with collar while in girls, it should have not any print.

What to see around the area.

Floating Marker experience itself.  Sellers for sure will sell higher amount than on the city.  good thing I initially bought this shirt in the city for 100baht each, and in the floating market, they will initially sell it on 450baht, since I told them that i bought mine for only 100baht, they said that can only sell their shirt for 250baht! not worthit...
