New Year na Malupet

Sabi nga nila better late than never kaya andito ako ngayon para bumalik sa blogging at magbigay ng update na ubod ng lupet.

Nagkasakit ako, not once but twice. Una before Christmas at pangalawa right after New Year before going back to work. Oh diba ang lupit ng timing? I had flu before 2008 closes and a severe abdominal pain few days after New Year’s Day. What a way to start the year! And on top of that my cousin’s family had to stay for a few days and they had to use my room so that mean’s no access to my PC. No access to my PC equals no blogging and internet.

Going back to me having abdominal pains – it started one Saturday, Monday came and I still have the pain so I decided to go to the doctor to have it checked. We went straight to the emergency room as I wasn’t able to walk anymore because of the pain. Nurses started to attend to me right away and I answered their questions between sobs. I was crying like a baby! Two doctors checked my condition and they had to give me medicine and put it straight to my veins for faster results. At ano ang ibig sabihin non? Karayom! Itutusok sa ugat ko na parang dextrose. Leche. Dalawang nurses ang dumating, isang babae na mukhang tahimik at mabait at isang lalaking malakas ang boses at mukhang epal. Pag banggit nya pa lang ng surname ko badtrip na ko agad sa kanya, actually I’m used to hearing people mispronounce my surname pero iba sya. May taglay syang ka-epalan na hindi ko maipaliwanag, basta hindi ko sya gusto. Sabi nga nila first impression lasts kaya nung sinabi nya na tutusukan na nya ako ng karayom kinalma ko ang sarili ko. Ayaw ko sa kanya but I want to give him the benefit of the doubt kaya panilit kong kumalma. After all he had 4 years of education and he’s wearing a uniform so that means he’s a registered nurse plus I was in a known hospital so I guess he knows what he’s doing and he’s going to do it right but boy was I wrong.

“Ma’am I’m going to put the needle in your vein, okay?”

I felt it in my skin and it was the most painful of all pains I had, even painful than my stomach! I screamed really loud and at the same time cried. I don’t even know which one I’m going to do first, scream or cry.

“I’m sorry ma’am it was not successful. We’ll put another needle in your left hand (he tried it first on my right) and this time it we’ll put a smaller needle.”
“Gusto mo i-try? (You want to try?)” He asked his colleague to do it; he finally realized he can’t.

“Tanginangshet! Gusto mo sipain kita?!” ang gusto kong isagot sa kanya. Pero hindi ko na nagawa dahil sa sobrang sakit at ramdam ko na nagsisimula nang mamaga ang kamay ko. Sabi ng pinsan ko the needle went through and through my vein kaya daw naging green yung kulay ng kamay ko. The girl nurse was able to put the it successfully; still painful pero hindi kasing sakit nung sa ginawa nung hinayupak na tabachuy na lalaking epal na yon. Kung di sana sya nag-epal eh di hindi sana ako nagngangangawa dun sa ER, halos nakipag-kumpitensya pa tuloy ako dun sa isang batang pasyente sa tabi ko sa pag-iyak at palagay ko ako ang nanalo.

Okay na ko ngayon, the doctor gave me the oral equivalent of that medicine they gave me at the hospital but the bad news is I can’t drink coffee anymore. I have hyperacidity; it’s close to ulcer so that means no coffee, milk and all dairy products, sour and spicy food. Goodbye chocolates, yogurt, sinigang and hot and spicy food which I so love very much. I’m not a coffee or soft drinks kind of person but now that I should not drink anything with caffeine I kind of miss it. Di ko maintindihan talaga sarili ko. Hmp. Plus ngayon I’m forced to have breakfast everyday and I should eat whenever I feel hungry kahit na ano pang ginagawa ko at kahit nasaan ako. Lagi na tuloy akong may baon na biskwit sa bag, daig ko pa ang estudyante. Naalala ko nung nag-aaral pa ko lagi akong may pagkain sa bag dahil out of this world and class schedule ko.

Kasabay ng pagkakasakit ko nagkasakit din si Jersey our 5-year old dog. She’s the youngest so she’s our baby. I have no idea what happened to her but a few days after getting sick she died. It was the day I had to go back to work after the holidays (at ng pagkakasakit ko) and I had mixed emotions that day. Excited akong makita ang mga friends ko pero di ko makuhang magsaya ng sobra-sobra dahil nalulungkot talaga ako. I was with her (Jersey) during her last few hours and minutes before she passed she looked at me as if saying her goodbyes. She was not the greatest and nicest dog but she was very affectionate and I love her to pieces. I wasn’t really expecting to sob uncontrollably because she’s been a brat these past few days and more often than not she’s done not-so-nice things to me and a lot of people but I did cry. I guess you won’t really realize how important things are until they’re taken away from you. She’s in a better place now.

Maiba ako at para na rin maalis ang lungkot. Bagong taon na at panahon na naman ng mga New Year’s Resolution at kahit hindi ko naman usual na ginagawa to palagay ko I should have a list this year.

Napansin kong napadalas ang pagkakasakit ko nung 2008 kaya ngayong 2009 I’ll start taking my vitamins regularly. Dapat seryosohin ko na to para na rin sa kapakanan ko, ayoko nang maulit yung halos buwan buwan may sakit ako kaya nasaid ang SL at VLs ko. Uugaliin ko na ring mag-breakfast everyday at kumain sa tamang oras, although malakas ako kumain lagi naming wala sa oras kaya rin siguro ako naging hyperacidic.

Sa blogging at internet naman meron din. I won’t drop ECs as much as I did before. I actually started this last December, I just don’t want to turn EC dropping a chore which I’ve seen to many bloggers. I love EC and I have to admit that I’ve discovered new blogs by using it but dropping is too much for me, nakakapagod at nakakatamad. Instead of dropping I’ll devote my time posting three to four times a week. I’m also planning on creating and/or updating my blogs’ themes and will update to Wordpress 2.7 soon. I’ll also continue working on my other blog’s gallery page.

Google recently had a PR update and two of my blogs got a whopping drop to NA from PR2. What the hell happened? I have no idea. Did I violate something or did Google ban me? I don’t think so but I still got a slap on the face. Well, what’s done is done; I’ll just post as much as I want and maybe I’ll do a better job on the next PR update. Sana.

Ayan, update na malupet. Ang haba! Madami pang susunod dito pero antok na ko kaya next time na lang. I just got back from Tagaytay a few hours ago and I’ll have a separate post for that next time. Kung nababasa mo to maraming salamat sa tyaga pero kung hindi naman ok lang, hindi naman ako nag-e-expect na may magbabasa ng ganito kahabang blog entry eh. Pero salamat na din sa pagbisita.
