The One With all the Letters
I called you three times but all I got was your answering machine...It's okay. that's life....just call everyone you know to ease your sadness...really try to keep in touch with friends..take care always..
To be honest, i know of the best students who didn't make it first time. At least, you are already there. Think of the thousands of PTs who are still here, getting denied of their visas, waiting in vain and without any assurance of being given granted once they reapply. In your case, your chances of passing it the second time is really way higher.
So just forget it! Get back the enthusiasm of reviewing again and move forward. Pray hardest and just enjoy life there one day at a time.
I will pray for you..
I miss you and thanks for always keeping in touch!

The One with the Final Countdown
I officially 20 days left in this spectacular City of Love.
There are just so many things that I'd like to do before I vanish.
Call everyone I know.
Say sorry to the people I might have hurt without me realizing it.
Say thanks to those who have helped me reach where I am now. (not that I've reached that far already)
Say I'll miss you so much to only God knows who.
and just say my 'see-you-soon' to my friends.
I am so blessed. I will continually pray to the Lord for the unending blessings. And just pray a litter harder each passing day. Troubles may come, doubts may arise. Just as long as you have prayers and a giant faith as your shield and weapon, everything will feel so right.

The One with the Comeback.
What the hell have I been doing these past few weeks?
I’m finally home.
Finally waved goodbye to the traffic, awful food, and very dirty streets. You will not be missed,
Allow me to write a novel here.
The last two days of my life in
Monday. August 10, 2009
Went to AMARCO. This agency located at
Tuesday. August 11, 2009.
Woke-up around 5.30 am (the earliest in 4 months). Prepared everything for my Medical check-up. Fecalysis and Urinalysis. (spell gross). Arrived at the clinic at 7.30 am only to find out that the Clinic opens at 9 am. Worse thing was, I had to stand and walk around for 1 and a half hours because there were no benches available to sit around. So I had my blood and x-ray taken and took that Psych exam which was very mentally draining that morning. The x-ray lady told me “ma’am ang payat mo”, when she palpated my scapula. LOL. The doctor and the dentist were not available that morning so they asked me to return the next day.
At around 11 am. I went to the Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar (PDOS) training on
The seminar ended at around 8 pm. I literally ran to Robinson’s
I had to print another DS 157 just to make sure. I slept at around 1.30 am after I sorted all things out and just laid there with eyes wide open. Counting the flock of sheep lulled me to sleep.
Wednesday, August 12, 2009.
Woke up at around 5 am for the obvious reason that I am excited. Kjirsti and Sheila decided to go with me and I love them for doing so. I had my interview scheduled at 9.30 am. So I was able to go in at around 8.30. It was my first time so I had to move slow and just observe what everybody else is doing, and where everybody else is going. Funny thing was, 15 of the Wowowee casts and dancers were there too including Mr. Willie Revillame himself. He’s cuter in person. LoL. Anyways it was already around 11 when we were sent to the main Interview room. It was quite smaller than I expected. Again, I waited patiently for my number to be buzzed, 235 as I distinctly remember because I was looking at it and playing the little paper with my fingers the whole time.
231, 232, 233, 234……235. It was now my time. I briefly closed my eyes and inhaled deeply before I stood up. The consul greeted me with a crisp “Magandang Umaga”. I greeted him back plus a smile. So he asked me, What is your purpose in going the the
I didn’t know what to feel while I was walking outside. I told myself. He could’ve just said I’m denied so I can cry about it. Or he could’ve approved my application so I could celebrate and rejoice…my emotions were left hanging in the middle.
As I went home I could bang my head against the door when I reviewed my papers and there’s this one tiny piece of paper that says. “NEW YORK EDUCATION LAW, TITLE VIII, ARTICLE 136 AND 6735 PROVIDES THAQT PHYSICAL THERAPISTS HOLDING A NEW YORK TEMPORAY LICENSE ARE AUTHORIZED TO FULLY PERFORM THEIR OCCUPATIONAL DUTIES WITHOUT A PERMANENT LICENSE FOR TEMPORARY PERIOD, PROVIDED THEY WORK UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A LICENSED PHYSICAL THERAPIST”.
I suddenly wondered if I had shown him that paper would he have believed me instead? But I know everything happens for a reason so I'm not that all confused.
Anyways, after I ate my lunch I went back to the clinic where I had to finish my Medical Exam only to find out that my vision’s not perfect anymore and that some repairs had to be done on my teeth. I had to search for an internet station to email my employer of the things that happened to me because they’re expecting me to be approved and they’re really expecting for my arrival before September 20. I told them every detail of the Interview. Around 11 pm, I had my final BIG dinner with Kjirsti that night and went home to pack my things for my flight home 4.45 am the next day. Took my very last bath at our tiny place and decided to take a nap. Around 1 am. My mom called me to tell me that my Agency received my email and told her that I shouldn’t be worried with my papers. Because maybe I was interviewed by a Consul that was not familiar with the whole thing. Anyways, it was a very big relief for my part o hear that. So now all I have to do is just to wait for their call so I can fly back to

I arrived at the airport around 3 am. And I could barely hide my excitement. I fell asleep at the plane and woke up when the pilot guy announced that we are now approaching the
Took my shower and went directly to Tita Jho’s wake. She looked lovely even on her deathbed. I got teary-eyed when I saw Tita’s Coffin mainly because I wasn’t able to see her or help her on the last months of her life. Stayed up late again at their house to catch up things with my cousins and friends.
Tita Jho’s life was such an inspiration. She was only 42 years old. Died of Ovarian Cancer. But she raised such beautiful, intelligent and very brave kids. To Serren, my favorite cousin, the eldest of four. Only 20 years old but has an emotional age of 40 I think.
I cried so hard from the last night of wake up to the funeral. My eyes were bulging that my eyebags were going to explode. 80 cars trailed off when Tita was brought to her final resting place. A lot of people asked if she was a politician or something because of the ginormous amount of people. It was such a sad moment saying goodbye to a very courageous and beautiful woman.
Probably will write an entry about her some other time.
Still waiting for that Embassy call, LoL.
Phew! Goodnight.
sorry for the typos. don't have enough time to re-check it.

The One with all the Fear, Anxiety and Excitement.
Dear Emery: It’s now time to begin planning for your arrival in the United States . With your H-1 B visa, you are eligible to enter the United States on September 20th and begin working on October 1st. Since you are not licensed, you will need to sit for your NPTE in order to work as a Physical Therapist with InterFysio. As we begin making our assignments, we would like to make sure that you can arrive in the United States on this timetable and are prepared to sit for your exam immediately (or within just a few days) thereafter. If you cannot arrive on the 20th of September or will not be prepared to immediately sit for the exam, we will need to agree on a later date of arrival or date of examination so we can plan for your eventual assignment. Sincerely, Thais Saad Is this really happening? I mean this is it, right? Happy and lazy days are over. Now I really have to study. I must quit. I must quit. procrastinating. National Physical Therapy Exam: the next mountain I'm supposed to climb. studying now. Thank You, Lord. Help me, Lord.

The One with my FRIENDS fix.

In relation to my last post.
I've stumbled on the FRIENDS - behind the scenes series on youtube. Made and produced by the Discovery Channel.
A documentary that shows how much effort is put on a 22 minute single show.
The dedication and the love they have for creating every single episode is so inspiring.
They work six times a week, up to the wee hours in the morning revising scripts.
There are twelve major writers, so if two or three of them is not at their funniest mode that day there are still others who can save it.
From the writers, to the cast and crew.
part 1 - click to view the video.
It is the best show in television history.
You're missing half of your life if you've never seen FRIENDS.
I will make sure that my kids and my grandkids someday will be able to watch this.
It's the kind of show that someday when I'm old and my hair turns gray, I'll still watch this and laugh at this while sitting on a couch with my husband.
My life will be longer because of FRIENDS.
I would've loved to see them live on stage.
The One Where I'm missing FRIENDS
I haven't seen this before and I literally cried especially at the last minute.
It was just horrible to watch the central perk set being taken down.
I'm a huge fan so you really can't blame me for emoting like this.
A true follower of the show would feel the same way watching this clip. :-)
Don't want a reunion movie though.
I think it ended perfectly.
probably a 30 minute thanksgiving episode will do.
But definitely not a movie. :-)
damn, i miss them sooooo bad.
