I wore my fitted blouse paired with formal slacks and a 3 inch high heels. I walked and stepped in to the hospital, with pure dignity and confidence. The nurses were staring at me, mouths were left wide open. Ningitian ko lang silang lahat. Well deep inside, I'm actually worried and nervous.

Bago pa man ako umalis ng Pinas, I searched for some hospitals to work in. I kept on searching and searching, pinlano ko na talaga lahat ng magiging huhay ko dito sa London. I chose this one kasi hindi to masyadong malaki, hindi masyadong sikat. Language barrier isn't an issue. I can express myself in their language of course.

Balita ko rin e Pinoy daw yung iilan sa mga department heads nila dito, because the President himself is half-filipino. Tatay daw niya yung pinoy, but he's living here in the States. He visits the country every now and then and enjoys being with the people kaya he really did took a fair share between Pinoys who work in this hospital.

Lumapit ako sa nurses' station para magtanong. "Hello, can I ask where is Dr. Salvatore's office located?" I politely asked to the nurse.

"Oh, it's on the top floor of this building Madame." she said. "Do you have any appointment with him?" she spoke full of accent, the usual British accent applied here in London. Okay, dapat sigurong masanay na ako. Phew.

"Actually, I have. He's expecting me." I slightly smiled. "I came here for an interview and an orientation..." I trailed off.

"Name please?" she asked.

"Dra. Regine Velasquez, from the Philippines." I replied. Saglit itong namangha at marahan itong ngumiti.

"Woah, finally I met you! I'm a follower! Aside being so intelligent and amazing, you're also pretty." she commented. Na-flatter naman ako dun ng wala sa oras. Pati beauty ko na-aappreciate na rin internationally.

Nilakad na niya ako patungo sa opisina ng sinasabing makikipagusap sa'kin. She then told me something, "I've heard so much about the gossips around here that you're really migrating here in London for good. This hospital is not as big as the hospital you've worked back in the Philippines though, it's making me curious that out of all big hospitals at the city, I'm wondering why you chose us. Questions aside, it is an honor to have you as a part of our team."

"T-thank you." Hindi ko inexpect ang mga pinagsasasabi niya. I expected na I'll face discrimination and such, but they gave me a warm welcome. Slowly, this will be my new home now.

Tinapat na niya ako sa isang pintuan at nagwika ulit. "We're here."

"Thank you so much for taking me here." I sincerely said. "And thanks for the short welcome." I chuckled.

"No problem Doc. You're one of us from now on. Goodluck!" she beamed and left me standing in front of that door.

Eto na. Don't be nervous Regine. This is definitely not your first time. You did this before, and you'll nail it like you used to do.

Marahan kong kinatok ang pintuan ng silid na iyon bago pumasok dito. I saw a man around his 40s, actually hindi masyadong halata na ganun na ang edad niya but his wrinkles are saying it all. Lumingon ito sa'kin at napangiti. Mukha talaga siyang Pinoy, nagmana nga sa tatay niya.

"Good...morning?" kabado kong sabi. What da heck, self!

"Good morning." he slightly smiled. "Sit down, don't be nervous. You're even overqualified to work here." he bluntly said. Napatawa naman ako pero deep inside, mas lalo akong kinakabahan.
