A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE
I was tasked to bring a top doctor to the office for a video shooting session that will be a documentary to be shown soon for the launching of a new product. I was so surprised coz i was not familiar with the hospital where i suppose to meet him. I end up seeing myself in the wrong building since the instruction was 9th flor room 15. I was not in the medical arts building but the main hospital! So i went back to trhe lobb and asked the guards where the Medical arts building is located! Well i reached the other side of the building..yes there are 3 elavators..elevator 1 serves all floors,elevator 2 serves b1 to 9th floor,elevator 3 9th floor to 19th. With all the people around its so hard to get in the elevator.As soon as i had my ride 9th floor...gosh the doctors name is different in room 15 i then ask an employee...mam its on the 19th floor....elevators were so so slow..i have to meet the doctor on time and im 5 minutes away from the appointment i was litterally running thru the stairs! When i reached 15th floor i saw the elevator opening...i rushed thru it to reach the top floor! I was with a doctor to my surprise he was the doctor i need to fetch!
After attending to his patients...we went to the car and rush to the office to get him ready for his video shoot. He is a little old and for shure a key opinion leader in his field we chatted for an hour thanks to the heavy traffic and we were able to get along so fine since we have a common topic...his roots. Well the travel was so light since we gwet to know moer a lot of each other.
Office... we arrived before the schedule shoot. After endorsing him to my marketing director i need to attend to my official obligations..submission of my reports.I was so tired but still my product manager asked a favor again...get some giveaways and give it to our trialist who was sitting at the lobby. I was still looking for the corporate secretary since there are some paper works to be filled up...then i met this wonderful lady. Since i was practically running around our office building ensuring my doctor to be at home and ensuring my reports to reached my deadline. I was a little pissed when another boss ask me to do something exchange the tshirt our trialist have to XL...i was already so tired! But since i dont have the right to complain still i oblidged myself to go to the warehouse haaaay!
An hour passed and i was talking to my immediate boss and was having a little argument over some things! Then the doctor finished his recording and some stuffs and needs to rush back to the hospital for his scheduled "delivery" with a patient. I was surprised to know that the elegant lady was still at our office lobby with our corporate secretary...no taxi would like to accomodate her so when i asked my product manager to ask someone to bring her home....my doctor arrived...heard that her place is a little near..(medical city to eastwood) i was hesitant cause the doctor dont know this lady but still he was willing to share the ride with her.
When we left the parking area this fine lady was assited by our product manager and corporate secretary she is walkingt with the help of a cane...it turned out she had hip fracture..to my surprise osteoporosis can be this deadly..now i know what happened to my grandmother at my dads side and her sisters...they were osteoporotic. Then then doctor was asking her some technical stuffs....she was very gracious on giving out some medical information about her condition...she had a historectomy at the age of 29 so thats the reason why she has osteoporosis. After a few exchanges of thoughts there it came tracing of roots again...now i discovered this fine young lady is YOLLY VELASCO...Former NBI Chief EPIMACO VELASCO's wife.
I was so ecstatic coz i saw this mans lifestory and was asking her some stuffs!The movie fan in me! After a lot of chat we arrived at the hospital 30mins after...thanks to my taxi driver skills we were able to reach the hospital on time. Then its time to bring tita yolly to her place...she was so accomodating and shared her greatfulness on how our company will shoulder her medicine for sometime. She felt so blessed we shared so many thoughts in life and she even ghot my cellphone number and was so appreciative with my gestures. Im tired but recieving a text message from her on my way to the next appointment is really really fulfilling
Now thats how i s[pent my day today..why am i in a net cafe? My sister is craving for korean food..im waiting for her to finish her meeting and i am now sitting here for 2 hours! Ok thats all for today!
