Yen’s Neighborhood

These days i'm reading reader's digest asia with Deither Ocampo on the front page, Preview magazine's nov issue with Agot Isidro and A. C. Doyle's Scherlock Homes short stories, after seeing that Hollywood decided to make a movie about the 19th century detective. It's staring Jude Law and whatshisnameactor, who stared as Iron Man. Ah! Robert Downey Jr! (did i even spell that right?)

ayun. I've included reading as a part of my daily routines (so I won't loose my IQ) that include eating, sleeping, eating, exercising, writing, internet, physical therapy, playing ds, looking at online shop, thus shopping online. (for me, shopping, where ever and whatever kind it may be, is theraputic.) ngek!

O sige na. I'm boring myself silly!ö

Too much good stuff should not be consumed continuously at one time. Debatable. But in my opinion, this is true for Jessica Zafra. No matter how much I would like to devour her (book) in one sitting, I couldn't, it's too much funny. Or perhaps I could not comprehend the "Ruler" quite as well or as fast as she would like to educate us. That is, it takes time to take in the funnies and the wit.
TWISTED 8 1/2 is once again a great read. It's only a little over a hundred pages you can read it in one sitting, but I chose not to. (As I mentioned the Ruler's mind is not easy to devour). It containes the history or herstory of her beloved gadgets who she name after people (because she said gadgets last longer if you treat them like human beings). Informative, witty and sarcastic. All the things I love from the ruler.
I thus conclude, Jessica Zafra ruler. I servant. Woo!

I have not at all been well for a while now. Since the effectivity of my resignation my health has improved, however, these recent weeks some of my symptoms have gotten worse.

Week of July 20 - Hair fall starts to increase gradually until the following weeks. I've also been having pains in my abdomen, lasted about five days. I also developed a rash this July 20, but we concluded that it's a food rash because it looked like the kind of rash I get before. Previous day my family ate in Healthy Shabu-Shabu in MOA. Since we are usual customers they gave a free batch of tempura. I think that got me the rashes. Rash only lasted July 20.

July 26 - I have a consultation with my doctor and he tells me that I should drink this anti-Malaria drug (forgot the name) so as to avoid hair fall and rashes. I was also given an antacid.

After my check up I went to Katipunan for a wake. I ate in Flaming Wings with Bianca. I had Chicken Strips with their spiciest sause and Ranch dip. I noticed starting to get itchy by the time we got to the wake. On my way home, I ate Jamaican paties (their regular).

July 27 - present - I've been having terrible rashes. Very itchy, keeping me up all night. It gets worse when I scratch it. I looked molested and scratched at it's worst. The rashes subsided a litte around three days ago, but it attacked again last night (August 6). My body was also a little bit in pain, ligaments on my left foot.

Week of July 28 - Everything normalized, my mom and I were very busy during the week. We had a lot of things done.

Friday - August 1 - Ancle ligaments from both my feet are a little bit achy. Went to Makati for the prayer meeting, on my way there it started to rain really strong. My feet got soaked. By the time I was sitting for prayer, I knew something was wrong. My feet got more wet and achy. I was feeling extra cold.

True enough, when I got home, I had a high fever. My feet were swollen, I could barely walk. Self-medication got me through the weekend.

April 3 - my body started to hurt, night time. Thigh muscles, gluteus maximus, shoulders, should blade muscles, shoulder ligaments, a little bit on both ancles and toes, a little bit on my fingers and right wrist.

Pain still persists. Worse day was yesterday (August 6), I could barely lift my body from my bed cause it hurt a lot. Then abb muscles started to hurt cause it got strained getting up. I also had a 39.2 fever during the morning. But normalized by lunch time.

Today it's better. Getting there stage.

So there.. can't really push the body. Gosh. And this hair loss is crazy. I brush my hair only once every three days. Wet or dry, hair keeps on falling and it's all over the house and our beds, really terrible stuff. I'm using this heanna shampoo from our dermatologist to regrow the hair.

Ekk.. don't worry about me though. I'm okay at home. First time I'm online for almost a week, haven't gone out for a week either. Hehe..

Hush hush. Forgive me for not being around.

For a very long time my body has been a vessel of pain. It was difficult walking because my leg muscles were VERY painful also standing up from sitting position, my muscles will shake in pain. But today when I woke up, I noticed so much of the pain has disappeared! Even the one on my hips, gone!

This is truly a miracle of God! My mother have been prayer over me with blessed oil and I believe God has used her hands to heal me.

Glory be to God!!!!

I have hemorrhoids. I bleed there sometimes. Sometimes it hurts a little bit, sometimes it doesn't. Strategy: If my poop isn't going to come out in two minutes, am gonna get up from the toilet.

I have perpetual fever.

Namamalik mata ako, siryoso. Like I couldn't find my pen one time even when I searched for it everywhere, and our helper simply told me it's there on my table. I looked at the table five times. Ahh!

I couldn't sleep properly. I think it's psychological, I'm a wierdo. I think it's because I don't talk to a lot of people too much so I started thinking a lot alone compared to before. O baka dahil sa steroids?

I palpitate, 100 beats per minute. My eyes palpitate.

It's okay. I always feel that God loves me despite all of this. Nakatulog ako kahit konti, di naman zero sleep. Siguro six hours. May pambili parin kami ng gamot. Masarap parin ang aming pagkain kahit sawa na si mama kaluluto.

That's all.
