Always In Pain

I will be having several tests done at Makati Med this evening. I am just waiting for my daughter to wake up because she wants to go with me.  I am having trouble sleeping. I always have this jaw pain at night. Sometimes it is too painful that it keeps me awake all night. Sometimes it happens during the afternoon too. So with the jaw pain and the vomiting and the other body aches and pains and the skin sensitivity that I have right now, it is no wonder that I am always in a bad mood.  My daughter already told me that I am always mad these days. I am not mad, I am in discomfort (sometimes in pain).

So what I do to minimize the pains and aches that I have is I daydream about taking a romantic cancun vacation with the husband. Believe me it works! I would dream about what we will do all day and what other romantic destinations we will go to.  Hay! I swear! When this is over, I will ask my husband to take me there and give me one hell of a vacation just because I deserve it.

The Last X (Hehehe!)

I saw my ex-bf this afternoon.  It has been like a decade (or baka more pa) since we last saw each other.  I do not know if he saw me first but I was wiping my daughter's mouth when I saw him. hahaha!  When we left the establishment, I leaned down to kiss my daughter while going up the escalator and I saw him looking at us. He was alone. Why was he alone? I really hope he is happy and married just like I am. Oh well maybe he just likes to eat lunch by himself these days.

Saturday 9: Call Me

1. Who is someone that phones you routinely that you never seem to be up to talk to, but you are not ready to push them out of your life? I can't think of anyone right now.

2. What is something that effects you deeply, to your core, no matter your mood or what else is going on in your life? Stories about mistresses, rape, child abuse, etc.

3. Tell us of something that relaxes you and always makes you happy. Used to be shopping but not anymore as I am always worried that I will throw up in the next minute or so. So right now it's watching movies at home.

4. If you could take the train from anywhere to anywhere, where would 'anywhere' be? If there is a train that would go straight to a beach, that is probably where I would go.

5. If you could look into the future, how far down the road would you like to see? 10 years? 100 years? A million? 10 years

6. Did you do your shopping online for this Christmas, how did it go? Did things come in on time? Any significant failures? ...and if you didn't, will you consider trying online shopping sometime this year? Nope, i did not do any online shopping last Christmas.

7. What people or projects are worth your time, money or effort? Can't think of any. I am nauseous.

8. Think back when you were in high school. Are you proud of the way you dressed, or do you wish you could go back and change it all? I was proud of how thin I was back then but the way I dressed so-so lang. I was always in shirts and pants then.

9. Do any of your friends, family or co-workers know about your blogs? For those that do, did you tell them or have they stumbled upon it by themselves? For most, it's the latter.  I am actually surprised that they know about my blogs since I never told them about it.

Friday Fill-Ins

1. There are places that I want to be in now but I can't because I feel like throwing up most of the time.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to sleeping, tomorrow my plans include sleeping and Sunday, I want to sleep!

Messages Unread

If you have been sending me offline messages via YM, I just want you all to know that I was not able to read them. The internet connection in the room is a little woozy. In fact, I can no longer connect using the house' wi-fi because of the renovation. Anyways, to cut the long story short  I have been using the PLDT weroam of hubby (given by the company he is connected with) and you know that the DSL connection is so much better than the portable one. But, I am not complaining, it's free and unlimited. So what more can I ask for? Except maybe for the PLDT guys to work a little faster and give me my requested internet access. Hehehe! Meanwhile, this would have to do.  Although, hubby has already been complaining because sometimes he needs to work when he is at home and he is unable to because I am using his connection. Hahaha!

Anyways, I just logged on  now and saw some offline messages but before I got to read them, my ym disconnected and reconnected again.  So yeah, I did not get to read them. If it's important, kindly send them again. If it's not that important, you can send them again or not. Hehehe! Ok lang kahit ano.

On Jewelry Earrings

I just do not know if I should invest on costume jewelry earrings. I always lose the back portion of the earring. You know the thing that locks the earring in place?  Sometimes, since I can no longer find them, I no longer wear them or even if there are still a couple of pieces that are intact I refrain from wearing them so as not to lose more of them. I hope jewelry stores sell just the back portion of the earring. Hehehehe. So yeah it is probably a good idea if I use costume earrings first. Nobody will know the difference anyways especially if I get them from Holsted Jewelers. In fact, some of them might even ask me where I bought it because some of their costume jewelry pieces are really fine ones.

Super Size Banana Split

Look at my latest discovery....

I do not know what it is with banana split but I just love them.  You will not see me eating just a scoop of ice cream. Whenever I see a banana split in the menu where I am eating, you will automatically see me ordering one especially when the budget for the day still permits me to have one. Sarap noh? My daughter had a tub of chocolate ice cream just the way she likes it. Although, she can't help but taste mine a couple of times.

I do not know if you will notice but this is super big. I had all the flavors changed to chocolate.  In fact, I was not able to finish the whole thing especially since I was sent a supposedly "emergency" situation via text. Hehehe.

Where did I find this? Crepes and Creme (Megamall). I know they have a kiosk in Robinson's Galleria Food court. I just do not know if they serve banana split.

Meals In Minutes

If there is one thing that I resolve to do this year, it is learn how to cook.  I already bought myself this....

to help me get started.

I just hope that I have the strength and the resolve to do so.  I remember when I bought this, my husband and I were just looking at the pictures and it made us hungry so we went straight to a restaurant after. Hehehehe. Actually when I was younger, I know how to cook. I know how to make sinigang, nilaga, beef steak, adobo, pancit, spaghetti, etc.  Now, I only know how to fry food and sometimes it does not even turn out well. So yeah, I hope that this food mag will help me make delicious dishes again.

If There Is One Thing That I Should Do Today

So today I am supposed to go to the LTO to get the car registration for this year. Hubby was supposed to do it yesterday. In fact he did, but there was this new requirement that made everything slower, a car tracker something that is not even approved yet but you have to pay for it now anyways (or during you car's scheduled renewal).  Usually, this would be okay but since I am feeling under the weather for the past couple of days, it's doubly hard to just go there and ask for all the papers which are all ready for pick-up today as per my hubby's contact. I just hope I do not meet any accidents today. I know I will drive super slow possibly with the hazards on just so I won't create any trouble. Hehehe. Ever since I started driving, I haven't experienced any vehicular accident caused by me or somebody else that created personal injury to anybody. The worst thing that I experienced was when a motorcycle slammed into the right side of the car because he was in a hurry and he did not see that I was making a right turn. We did not need any lawyers at that time, just like the San Marcos Personal injury lawyers. Thank God! What I needed then was the police because he was driving recklessly and he almost ran off. I was so pissed off back then that  I ran after him until I caught up with him and waited for the police to arrive. He did not even want to take his helmet off! I thought he was a robber or some other kind of criminal. Turned out, he just did not want to expose his face to the midday sun.

Saturday 9: You Shook Me

1. What celebrity would you just want to shake some sense into? Krista Ranillo

2. What do you think comes after death? Salvation for some, for most damnation

3. What is the first book that you can remember reading by yourself as a child? I guess this book that my mom used to teach us to read. It was a yellow book and I can even remember some of the words that we used. It was the first book that we read from cover to cover.

4. What was the first rock concert that you attended? Alannis Morisette's concert, if that counts.

5. If you were to suddenly become famous, would you choose a stage name? If yes, what would it be? I guess not.

6. What is the one thing that you wish the media would stop talking about? Kris Aquino's life

7. If you could be part of any band, which one would it be and who would you be and why? I can't think of any girl band now.

8. Do you live close to your immediate family members? If not, how far away are they? They all live close by.

9. Last seasonal question (promise): What did you do on New Year's Eve? I ate and watched fireworks.

Loved The Holidays

I love the holidays especially the Christmas holiday.  It gives us the chance to spend time with the people whom we miss all throughout the year. That's what's been keeping us busy. My two nephews are here and we are spending every minute that they have here in Manila and we are making sure that they are having fun.  They are even staying with us so my daughter is one happy kid because she has people to play with. 

But like all good things, it has to end. They only have one day left to spend the day with us. Boo! My husband is also dreading the end of the holidays because he needs to go back to work.  Although, I know that he will be working doubly hard.  Hehhehee. In fact, he has so many plans for the coming years, he even tells me that he plans to get another car, a bigger one. It would be so useful especially since we bring so many things all the time, not only things but people too.  I know that the company that he is with now does not have any provision for car loans what I am not sure of if he has auto allowance benefits. I sure hope so especially if his plans for getting another one pushes through. 

Here's hoping!

These are just some of the pics taken. I miss them already.

Annual Car Expenses

It is the start of the new year and we have to think about all the expenses that we need to spend for the year. I do not want to be the one who conks the New Year celebration but a new year brings about the yearly expenses that we cannot do without such as car expenses.  Just thinking about all the car expenses that we need to budget for at the start of the year makes my head ache.  We need to budget for car insurance, car registration, car tune-up, etc.  I hope that my hubby gets Mileage reimbursement for all his gas expenses.  My soon to be brother-in-law has one every month and I think my elder sister has one too so the prince increase or decrease in fuel prices do not affect them at all. The reimbursements come from their respective company. If I think about it, I can reimburse my gas expenses too. I can charge it to my husband's account.  Hehehe.  How I wish that he is that lucky too.  He will save so much if the company he is with now will expend that benefit to him. 

Oh well expenses and responsibilities are not the only things that we should think about.  A new year brings about new things too and the chance to spend more time with the ones that we love.
