Tests
Because of the result of my Annual Physical Exam (APE), would go to a cardiologist. Thus, went to
Makati Medical Center (MMC). Plan to be there before 9AM, the doctor's clinic hours.
Have listed my name and decided to go the MMC HealthHub. My APE report does not include the stool result since I submitted it September 21. The APE report's cut-off was September 20. Was able to get the test result and everything is normal.
Then, went to my OB-Gyne's clinic to have me listed on a weekday. She only accepts appointment on Saturday's for pregnant women.
Back to the cardiologist's clinic, learned that she only accepts existing patients on Saturday. Since I am new, it has to be on a weekend. Great!
So, had an early lunch of
arroz caldo and
asado siopao at
Dimsum 'n Dumplings at MMC.
Stayed awhile at MMC while waiting for my schedule for my eye doctor. It is just a stone's throw away at MMC. By 1PM, was at
Abesamis Eye Vision Care. At least, I did not have to change my eyeglasses.
Then, walked my way to
Ayala Center. Tried brisk walking. Took me at 9:57min/km pace walk. Slow. Should be 9min/km or faster.
Just walked around the mall (no plans of watching a movie), bought a few things which caught my fancy while waiting for the anticipated Mass. Socks (feeling the scratch of the garter of my MBT slip on), Mr. Beams Stand Anywhere Motion Detector Night Light, travel adaptor, folding stool, blow lantern, etc.
Attended the anticipated Mass. We had dinner at Phobac, groceries at The Landmark before proceeding home.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle
Just have to watch
Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Normally, on Sundays, I just stay home. But now, will go watch a movie.
First stop is at
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf for brunch before my movie. It is also here I bought the movie ticket online. Had Eggs Ben.
Kingsman, an independent, international intelligence agency has been attacked (its people and their headquarters). Those who survived, Galahad (Eggsy) and Merlin lead them to a discovery of an allied spy organization in the U.S. called the Statesman. The two elite organizations band together a common enemy to save the world. Like! Worth going on a Sunday. c",)
Remembered to go to
True Value to buy Ansmann rechargeable battery. Great! The store is on sale. Was able to buy
foldable cane and
sport seat on sale.
Test Results
Went to Makati Medical Center to get my test results, both for the APE (which I took last September 15) and my mammography/ sonomammography (which I took last September 19).
Already got my result as soon I was tested for my ultrasound (which I took last September 19).
Retroverted Uterus with Myoma Uteri as described.
Thick and Intact Endometrium for age.
Normal-sized Both Ovaries.
The result of my mammography:
Round and oval densities, bilateral, correlation with sonomammography recommended.
BIRADS Category 0 (needs additional imaging evaluation)
The result of my sonomammography:
Hypoechoic masses with suggestively benign sonographic features, bilateral. Clinical correlation and short-term follow-up by sonography after 6 months suggested to monitor stability. Simple cysts, bilateral.
BIRADS Category 3 (probably benign finding: short interval follow-up suggested)
I was worried about my mammography and sonomammography results, I should have been worried with my annual physical exam (APE) result.

Then, walked my way to
Ayala Center. Had Mongolian lunch at
Food Choices. Would skip
Baskin Robbins for now (thanks to my ECG result). Bought
Skechers shoes. Left my purchases at
The Landmark's package counter and proceeded to
Glorietta 5.
Attended the anticipated Mass, we had dinner at
Gerry's Grill and groceries at The Landmark before proceeding home.
Reunion
Tita Lydia who invited us for their fiesta at North Samar and where we stayed is in Manila for she is one of the wedding sponsors. Her flight back would be tomorrow morning. So, we will meet up with her today.
Planned to treat her, Meg and Dr. Joanne at
Buffet 101. Was not able to make a reservation yesterday, thus, have to be early to be listed for walk-in. Arrived before the mall opened and proceeded to Buffet 101 as soon as it did. Was able to get a table.
Since the restaurant will still open at 11AM, decided to go around the mall and look for the items on my list. Was not able to find one. By 10:45AM, am back at Buffet 101.
Nice to see them. There were lots of sharing. They even have
pasalubong for us. Yes!
As soon as we parted ways, bought first walnuts at
Rustan's and shoes at
MBT at 10% off before going home.
American Assassin
First stop, bought discounted ticket for
American Assassin and load to mPass (in case I need to purchase movie ticket online). It will be the 12:10PM screening.
So, Mongolian lunch at
Food Choices before the movie. Then, walked my way to the
LTO Driver's License Renewal Center. My driver's license is still not available. Will have to be scheduled first for biometrics.
Then, bought ponytail at
SM Makati.
Mitch Rap, a recruit of the CIA in their black ops under the instruction of the Cold War veteran Stan Hurley. Enlisted by the CIA Deputy Director to investigate a seemingly random attacks on military and civilian targets. Lots of action. Like.
While the movie is ongoing, a (senior citizen) moviegoer is going up the stairs to go to the comfort room. Then, he missed a step and fell. Was shocked and afraid he might fall all the way down. Good thing, not. He has a companion who should have assisted him while going up.
Then, dessert at
Baskin Robbins after the movie. Bought my stock of Canon inks at
CompLink and
Standard Computer Center. And Genteal drops at
Mercury Drug.
Attended the anticipated Mass, had dinner at
Luk Yuen and bought groceries at
The Landmark before proceeding home.
Annual Physical Exam
Already set a schedule for my annual physical exam (APE). It is required we complete it by September 2017. Chose September 16, 15 and 18, by priority. Was scheduled for September 15. Thus, have to take a leave.
So, was dropped off at
Makati Medical Center for my APE. Have to skip submitting my specimen (urine and stool) because of menstrual cycle. Will submit it another day.
Completed around 1-2PM. Then, walked my way to
Ayala Center. Was thinking of buying the
Nokia 5. Bought it at
Ambassador Appliances where I got a discount for being a
suki. Then, proceeded home.
It
Walked my way to
Ayala Center. A few minutes for the screening of
It, decided to purchase the movie ticket online via
mPass. Bought food-to-go at
Wendy's for my lunch. In time!
Based from Stephen King's novel of the same name, "It", children are disappearing in the town of Derry, Maine. A group of "loser" kids have to face their own fear as they face the evil clown Pennywise, whose history of murder and violence dates back centuries. Like that they inject humor from time to time.
After the movie, attended the anticipated Mass, had dinner at
Phobac, bought groceries at
The Landmark before proceeding home.
Everything would have been a relaxing weekend mall for me until two calls came while the anticipated Mass is going on. Rejected the call and sent that I am attending the anticipated Mass. There was a reported problem. The problem is, the description of the problem is wrong that makes it sound worse that it truly is. Tsk! Tsk!
Anabelle: Creation
Anabelle: Creation is the pre-quel to the movie "Anabelle". The doll made by the dollmaker father has become the conduit of the demon. With their desire to have their daughter who died to be back, they have inadvertently made a pact with the devil and allowed it to stay in the doll. Not really scary. Funny just how the audience react to every scene.
After the movie, attended the anticipated Mass (gave my pasalubong) and had dinner at Kaya. Bought groceries at The Landmark before proceeding home.
Dark Hitman Bodyguard Tower
A holiday! And it would be a movie marathon for me.
Since I really wanted to watch
The Hitman's Bodyguard, which is being shown at
Greenbelt Cinemas, will watch both my movies there.
Was dropped off at Greenbelt but ticket sale will only open at 1130H. Decided to walk to Glorietta to have my lunch. Also, purchased online the tickets for
The Dark Tower and for "The Hitman's Bodyguard".
Roland Deschain is the last gunslinger out to protect the Dark Tower ,which protects all realities from the dark forces. It was said that only a child with special powers will be able to topple the Dark Tower. Like.
Had merienda at Muscle Beach before my next movie.
Just from the title, a hitman needing a bodyguard means this would be an action comedy. And it is! A top bodyguard was hired to protect a hitman who would testify at the International Court Justice. Obviously, there is a mole inside Interpol that would make protecting the hitman a lot of work. Ryan Reynolds and Samuel Jackson has good chemistry. Even the love angle is interesting. Lots of like.
