10 Things Are Not Enough =P
Judie tagged me!
INSTRUCTIONS: A person who gets tagged must write in his or her blog ten weird things or habits or little known facts about himself or herself. He or she should also state this rule clearly. At the end, he or she should tag six other people, except the one who tagged him or her.
1. I throw a tantrum if somebody uses my old rose-colored Powerpuff mug. It's a known rule in the house that I don't want anybody else drinking from THAT one mug.
2. I roll my eyes when I'm annoyed at somebody or making fun of somebody I don't know may it be in a public utility vehicle or at the mall.
3. I step on people's feet (not just toes) when they shove or push me in the MRT when I'm about to go out the door so they can enter. Gusto niyo masaktan eh!
4. I used to smell Nancy Drew books while reading them. I place the books close to my nose and sniff. I'd look at the words I find interesting and read them several times until I feel like I've absorbed them all.
5. I don't like guests- not even relatives staying so long in our house.
6. I don't like other people using the pillows I place under my head. In our old apartment, I remind my friends not to let anybody else use my pillows no matter what happens. I wrap them in large plastic bags before leaving for Cavite.
7. I love taking pictures of myself everywhere when I feel pretty. At the mall, in restaurants, in fastfoods, in Starbucks. I don't care if the people I am with would get self-conscious or whatever. I have the need to capture the moment.
8. I choose the people to whom I will lend my favorite books. I hate crumpled pages, I hate it when somebody opens the books too much to the point that it leaves a damage on the spine. Parang pang display ba books mo? Hehe.
9. I have this strict rule about sharing stuff even food at home. For example, I make sure that everybody gets to eat the same number of chocolate bars or candies.
10. I correct Kit when he mispronounces words or talks in a manner I disapprove of. (Kit, wala ka sa kanto. Ulitin mo sinabi mo.)
Growling Tummy
I've always been prone to illnesses that affec t the stomach and intestines. I didn't scratch my head when I had a terrible tummy ache a few days ago. I thought it was connected to my abusive diet inspite of eating enough during the night.
My off ended last Sunday. I woke up to my mom's voice asking me where I've placed my Pizza Hut Palm card. I pointed her to the direction of a topsy-turvy cabinet filled with hair accessories, beauty products and whathaveyou. I stayed in bed until the delivery guy arrived with the Supreme Family Pan Pizza, Pepsi Max and our free Pepperoni and Cheese Pizza. I ate two slices. So greedy that I completely forgot my diet. Screw diets. =) That wasn't the end of the gluttony. At work, Ren gleefully waved our cash prize (for the decorate-your-bay-contest) and asked the agents present about what we will spend it for. Erika screamed for pizza. Oooohh...Yellow Cab popped up in my mind. Ren made a call to Yellow Cab in PeopleSupport. After a few minutes, we had pizza in the pantry. I went on break and proceeded with some teammates to devour our share. I sprinkled chili pepper powder onto two slices and chewed on until they were all gone. My mouth felt hot and my lips turned red with all the powder I consumed. I doused the burning sensation with cold water. By lunch, I bought a big bottle of C2 Apple in 7 11 and stayed with friends outside McDonald's. After about an hour, I was clutching my stomach in pain. I thought it was my period torturing me this early or I just needed to go to the washroom and flush out toxins. And flush out toxins I did not after I panicked while in a call because I felt that I needed to rush to the toilet ASAP. After the painful episode, I asked the guard on duty for medicine. There was nothing for hyperacidity so I asked for Diatabs. My tummy still ached a bit on the way to Cavite. It subsided when I got home around 8 in the morning. Everything went fine and dandy the rest of the day. I slept for a few hours and woke up at 2pm for this HR volunteer thing. I ate a little rice and beef tapa. Yummy. I left the house at past 4pm and things went on smoothly. I got down at Libertad to wait for a bus bound for Ayala. That was when my tummy acted up. By the time I was sitting in the bus, my body was wracked with pain. I felt like going to the washroom at that very minute. I almost died inside the bus while stuck in traffic. I made it to the office on time and rushed to the washroom. I felt weak and dizzy after. I went to the clinic but there was no doctor. A nurse was on duty and she asked me to go back after two hours. Perfect. I was in pain that I wanted to lie down in the middle of the pantry. I spoke to the program manager and I was allowed to go home as long as the nurse provides a notice. I went back to the clinic with a teammate, Mavic. The nurse told me that I can go home and she will just email the notice to my supervisor. It took me a few minutes to wait for a bus bound for Quiapo.
The sight of UST, our old apartment and Dapitan Street made my heart skip a bit inspite of the pain. Funny how I didn't feel scared of standing in Quiapo to wait for a jeepney. Working at night and having to travel at ungodly hours made me braver. =) I rode the San Agustin and got home at 10pm. I spent the night with my brothers in the living room and retired to my bedroom at 1am. I woke up at 5am to eat breakfast and take a bath. I decided to go to the De La Salle University Medical Center for a checkup. I know that I can't endure the pain and the hassle of feeling like going to the washroom everytime. I begged Gem to wait for me so I'll have somebody to travel with. Who cares if it was just 10-15 minutes away from my house. I brought a book, The Hobbit with me so I'll have something to read while waiting endlessly. I got to the hospital at 8 in the morning and waited for more than 30 minutes to get a Maxicare referral. The secretary told me to go to Dr. Santi's clinic. I walked around looking for the room and found it near the Building 2. The secretary told me to wait until 11am. Bummer. I went to the benches in the hall and started reading my book. Time seemed to drag on slowly and I ended up listening to other people's conversations. A few minutes before 11, Gem arrived and I asked him to accompany me to the canteen before he goes to his next class. He waited for me to order a bottle of Gatorade and a pack of Skyflakes. I felt dizzy with hunger but I couldn't eat a full meal because I didn't want to go to the washroom. He left after five minutes and I sat alone sipping my Gatorade. At 11am, I went to the clinic and was informed by the nurse that I was next. I felt so happy knowing that I can go home by 12pm. After a few minutes, the secretary called my name and I spoke to the doctor. He asked me for the symptoms then he asked me to lie down. He pressed on my tummy, my abdomen and asked me if I felt any pain. He then advised me to stop eating spicy food, drinking iced tea, coffee or any acidic beverages because I have acute gastritis. Yipee! Five years ago, I suffered from gastroenteritis. Now, it's gastritis. So it's bye-bye to my java chip frappe, C2 and chili. Sniff, sniff.
May sakit na nga pero todo picture pa rin. =P
Pizza without the chili pepper powder. How tragic. Augy gets to eat all the hot wings from now on.
I went to Mercury Drug after because the DLSU pharmacy didn't have my medicine. I bought a tube of lipgloss and two packs of e-aji for my brothers before going home. I hate walking around in the sweltering heat. I can't wait for May to come because the rains usually start by then. It's going to be my 26th birthday too. Golly. I'm getting old. Old and a little hopeless. Naah! I'll get to where I want to be. My dad still talks to me about taking up Law. I dunno. I just want to be rich. Haha!
