Okay, too lazy to rotate luh. LOL . Anyway, just got home. I had a good time with our new found friends.
Becoming too attached. What. Good night. :D

It's this time of the year when i get too emotional and all. I actually hate my birthday because i feel like i'm obliged to do something. Anyway, i pray for a longer life and stronger heart as well. I hope to make decisions i'll not regret much in the future.

Home from the Hospital

Eight dextrose bottles;

Three collapsed veins;

Two bruised arms due to blood extraction;

And a bleeding lower lip;

Well, what can you say?

Recent Hospital Visit

My life has been so crappy for the past weeks.  First, our internet connection crashed for more than one week. I kept on pestering the company's CSR three times a day. Nah, but it didn't change a thing. The tower enhancement took longer than expected. I was so disappointed. Worse, i wasn't able to teach (part time job). It was okay-ish because i was able to travel for a couple of days.

Well second, after the internet connection dilemma, i got sick. Bad timing for getting sick really. I thought i was going to die. My temperature reached forty degrees! O-M-G. I felt so alone though i can't blame my parents. My father works for a special project nowadays and he's barely at home. My Mom's so busy at the university due to graduation which is dated this Saturday. My brother's having summer classes. I kept on crying because of severe headache and all. I sent Mom a message more than five times that i can't take the pain anymore. But i didn't get any reply. I didn't know she was in an important meeting so it was okay.

An hour after, my father came home to get some things. He even borrowed my laptop to check his Facebook account. What the heck. He didn't know what i was going through. Well, he's always been like that. I can't blame him. Another hour after, i called for his name and asked if he can make my Mom go home. He touched my forehead, then got shocked.  He immediately left home without saying a word. I felt hurt, i thought he left me to die. Hahaha. Forgive me for this drama. I always get dramatic whenever i'm sick. 

Soon enough, my mother came home with some bottles of Gatorade and Yakult(Yey!) and loaves of Gardenia bread (in raisin flavor). Forced myself to eat but i just vomited everything.

She was so hysterical (as always). She took me in a hospital with the help of a family friend. I was so thankful to him. :) 

When we entered the hospital, the nurses immediately accommodated me. They're always nice. Well, maybe because we're friends with them. They checked my weight, height and all. To my surprise, i gained a few kilograms. I am now forty-three.  Before i was thirty-eight. Anorexic you think? No actually, i really eat a lot throughout the day. My slim body is because of my genes. My Mom's weight is forty-four by the way. Haha.

While waiting for my turn to be consulted by the attending physician, my friend nurses kept on talking to me and Mom. They also kept on suggesting that i should be a flight attendant because of my height, and face. I think they were joking. Haha. Sigh, at least they made me smile when i was in my worst condition.

When my turn came, the physician(new found friend) suggested me to perform a blood test and be admitted in the hospital for the mean time. I really considered staying in the hospital for the coming days because i was really having a hard time. I just acted a little brave and forced myself not to faint even though i was so dizzy. 

Until now, i'm still under observation(for dengue fever) because i refused the blood test. I'm taking some tablets though but can i just rant that my antibiotics are a little hard to swallow because they're also a little bigger than the usual? >.< 

Pray for me, i really wanna get back to work and go out. 

I'm feeling a little dizzy again. Bye.

Fishballs can buy me, love.

After two years, i finally got the chance to eat fishball again! It's definitely one of my favorite street fs ever! Although i was forever warned by my mother not to eat street fs, i just kept on eating them. She said i'll get sick because those may be dirty.  

To be honest, i really don't mind at all. I've been eating those foods for the last 15 years of my life and i never got sick. :) 

Way back in elementary, i asked my mom if she could buy me a pack of fishballs so we can get to enjoy it at home. And she did, due the fact that it was so cheap in supermarkets. She even cooked it for us.  Unfortunately, i didn't enjoy it.  It tasted different.  Even the sauce for it, of course, was different.  

Now, 10 years later, i asked myself again. Why did it taste different? I came up with crazy reasonings.  Haha.  For the first one, i thought our fishballs cooked at home were "too clean." Hahahaha. When you eat fishballs outside home, you have three choices of sauce you can dip your food in : sweet, sweet n' spicy, and vinegar with red chilis and onion. What i always do is first dip my stick in vinegar then dip again in the sweet one. Those sauces come in big bottles so everyone can enjoy to dip their sticks of fishballs again and again. Hohohoho~ Saliva pool. JK JK.  But it's a big possibility. I mean not a possibility. It's actually true. Hohoho~

This is what i'm talking about! :)

Second, the oil we used at home way back was "too pure". Oil fresh from the supermarket to be clear. Fishball vendors "recycle" their oils. What's left at the end of the day will still be used for the succeeding days until its color changes into a darker shade. Those oils are more delicious (LOL) because they already have residues from past fried fish balls.  

For the last one,  the real ambience of eating fishball wasn't present in our home. Fish ball vendors usually stay on corners of streets. You get to hear endless honking of jeepneys because of traffic, murmuring students who are running late for their class, laughing workers savoring their "yosi" break, and many more. :)

It's also more fun if you eat fishballs with your friends. And since it's very cheap, you get to eat as much as you want. Sometimes, if you're with a kind friend, s/he may treat you.  :)

Even though i ate fish ball alone while walking my way home earlier, it surely brought in a lot of memories from the past. Memories i laughed and cried on. Uh-oh, getting sentimental again!

Ciao for now!

Today

I am actually not in the mood to write now. I feel really sick, my throat hurts. :( Everything today was dull.  Meeeeeh. Why am i typing continuously anyway?

Ah yeah, my cousin Charmander finally wrote about his HIMIGsikan experience last February 18, 2012.  

Check this yo. :D

His post was actually longer than mine. Everything was almost in detail except for the annoying lady at McDonalds.  We were just too fly and happy on what was happening when the impokrita lady interfered. 

And i quote, "Hindi ka ba magsosorry? Nakaipit ka na."

As in i wanna punch and scratch her oh-so-covered-with-makeup-face! She was so annoying. Her boyfriend was stupid enough to have her. Eh anyway, i don't wanna make this a ranting post.

Charmander's* post really made me smile at first and laugh in the end.  So right now, i'm thinking, how did we eventually become this comfortable to each other? I can't remember. Sigh.  

He's three years younger than me and i don't really care about him before. His older brother was my favorite, Squirtle*

*Not their real names! (Check my first post).  

I don't really know what to say next so i''ll just quote some of the things he wrote and comment . :D

"So we were off to Diliman, got the tickets. I still insisted to go to the fair in LB. Hihi. Well, nothing much we did in the LB fair. She wanted to ride the ferris wheel. I wanted to ride too, but upon seeing how fast and brittle-looking the wheel was, I was scared right out of my pants."

- Gay. LOL. JK JK :D Too bad we also didn't have the chance to experience the rides in Diliman. Probably next year!

"On our way out, we walked through another sea of mud. We saw Miggy Chavez of Chicosci after the event being escorted by guards. Ate Diane was probably dying already."

- He was escorted by only one. Not really a guard i think, or maybe i'm just too absorbed with the situation to notice.  I didn't feel like dying! I was actually surprised. Everything just slammed to my face when we were on our way home. :D

I already tweeted this but.. Haha.

"To Ate Diane: I still have the cup from Moonleaf, tried taking pics of it. I suck so I'll just keep it till I can give it to you. Sorry if it'll take too long. :P Also, I loved how you never forgot about the hashtag about you not having a boyfriend. Don't forget us when you finally get one! HAHAHAHA."

- You better take care of my Miggy cup! I probably won't get one soon.  HAHAHAHA.

Removed old posts.  Sudden change on interests. I'll start all over again. :D

HIMIGsikan 2012

Image lifted from http://www.facebook.com/HIMIGsikan

My cousins were kind enough to accompany me in this event. Well, who couldn't resist to watch these bands? Plus, ticket was so cheap(90php) considering the hardcore line up. \m/ And since we are from Laguna, which is almost 2 hours away from Diliman, it was a little troublesome to get tickets.  I had to spend some pennies to go there the day before to avoid the very long line that go for miles.  Seriously, the line was very long. We had to stand for more than an hour and a half before getting in. 

Yay! Tickets I got from Marga who was kind enough to reply despite of my endless rants. ^^Thank you so much!

I just had to cover our haggard faces.  Haha

The venue was like a sea of mud! Plastic shoes became an instant trend! Okay, i'm a bit exaggerating but it was really muddy. I felt bad for my shoes.  :(  Haha. 

Wawa :(((

Everyone was so tired before the event. Me and Charmander* spent some moments in Manila and UPLB Feb Fair the day before and got home late.  Thus, minimal hours of sleep. =.=   We also had to wait for Squirtle* to get off from work.  

*Not their real names (Of course! Hahahaha)

Upon entering, we tried to explore the whole place but we just couldn't. Mud was freakin' slippery although i showed extra awesome mud walking skills. I am just so lucky. Oh, and there were sofa king good looking guys. Yeeeeeee. Some i made contact with and smiled. L-O-L!

We kept on finding a good watching spot because we can't go in the middle part.  So crowded as we were late. Haha. 

Left side

Sorry for the crappy pictures.  I just can't risk to bring my camera in this event.  We found quite a good spot from the left side.  We were able to see some band members from the backstage.  I was actually waiting for Miggy. I dig Miggy. Hahaha.  Squirtle wants to see Parokya ni Edgar.  Charmander just tagged along. Haha.

It was really a good experience to watch bands i mostly listened way back in high school. Brings back a lot of memories, sigh.  I also felt a little jealous to see some couples around.  If only we're still together. Tsk. Drama. Haha.

We left around 4 in the morning, determined to go home before 9AM because i need to work!

My ticket + bandaid (huhu). Scrapbook time!

The event was more of like a music festival to me. I had to stand for more than 5 hours but everything was so worth it! They're really the best.  If possible, i want to go again next year.  I felt guilty for kinda betraying OPM and shifted to K-pop. I mean K-pop is good but wouldn't it be nice to listen to OPM since we are Filipinos to begin with.  Let's support our own and make a better place for you and me. Chos. Heehee. I'm slowly coming back.  Hopefully.

I'll write my ultimate fangirl experience with Miggy and bands from the line up on a different post. I feel so lazy. I finished this because i promised myself to blog more often and make it more interesting. Oh well, lazy people are lazy.
