MMMiii!

Yesterday, when I went to Makati to tell them I was going to reject their offer, I didn’t want to wear my rubber shoes, just in case they do something like tell me the signing bonus will still be available and I should still go to work.

However, I only have 3 decent pairs of shoes. My rubber shoes, my sandals with 2-inch heels, and my leather shoes with 3-inch heels. So.. cross out the rubber shoes, I’m left with the sandals and the closed leather shoes. The place is cold so I don’t really want to wear open-toed shoes. That leaves me with the 3-inch heels.

A few weeks ago I sprained my ankle and because I never really gave it proper rest, it hasn’t really healed.

Walking around… walking… walking… after a while, about 1 in every 10 steps, I get this sharp pain in my ankle. Add to that my being really heavy, my toes sinking and digging into the leather… ooooohhhhh the pain.

I need to start a diet… but… I don’t have the motivation. I love noodles too much. Maybe I should get some diet pills again, like hoodia or those pills to “get rid of your toxins” *sigh*

hopefully, I’ll get thin coz of work.
blah.

I’m going to go for a medical checkup tomorrow. I don’t really want to, but I have to. Pop told me that with my job, I could go for even twice a year. Not that I’m excited about it (the med checkup).

One of the tests are for drugs. Oh noes! What if they find out that I’m a druggie! And my drugs are noodles?! Would I have to go to a drug rehab center? lol.

And so I wouldn’t experience withdrawal, my noodles would be going from thrice a day to twice, to once, to every other day, to every two days, to once or twice a week, to once a month, to once every two months…then I’d …

probably be dead by then. XD

For the first time, I went to the hospital uber willingly — Yes, I did, despite my phobia. Sure, I went there with teary eyes and a limp, but I wanted to try getting stronger painkillers — which I didn’t get. No, it’s not that I wasn’t in pain so much, but my university’s infirmary’s pharmacy didn’t have it. Stupid doctor, prescribing me medication which did not exist!

Anyway, the conversations I am about to post that took place at the hospital were in Filipino but I shall translate them anyway for the sake of my readers.

Upon arriving in the UP Diliman Infirmatay [read: inFER-mah-TAI (Infirmary + Patay [dead]… because people accidentally die there) ER…

Receptionist: What do you need?
Mi: I sprained my ankle.
Receptionist: Okay, fill this out.

And so I fill it out… and she makes me wait… standing…

We had make-up classes today because we started the quarter late, but the exams didn’t get moved, plus those days of no classes, and another day will be missed Friday next week, the Friday before exams. My class started at 8 am.

I left the house at 7 am and stood in front of the gate for about 10 minutes. Five (5) empty taxi cabs later with drivers who refused to take me, I limped towards the intersection, crossed the street and tried flagging more empty taxi cabs. I don’t remember how many empty taxi drivers refused me anymore, but I was in pain and I wanted to cry. I had tears falling but it wasn’t full-blown crying yet.

FINALLY, after 30 minutes of waiting, a taxi cab finally stopped in front of me and I said KATIPUNAN and sobbed. I complained to the taxi driver that the other drivers refused to take me and that I was in pain and that I needed to go to school and I cried and cried until I felt better.

I made it barely on time — 7:55am. I scribbled some questions my ST told me I needed to take up, and then limped with her to the classroom.

As usual, my class was a pain in the ass– and foot.

A-ah~ The quarter is almost over.

Anyway, TAXI DRIVERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CHOOSE CUSTOMERS RIGHT??? Isn’t there a law or something like that? DAMN THEM.

I sprained my ankle today. I’d like to celebrate this as a first, have pictures taken. Like celebrating something that is worth putting in a digital frame and placed on your desk.

But it hurts like hell. My ankle is swollen on both sides (inner and outer) and it’s so painful to walk.

Yesterday, I was still able to manage. But last night, and now this morning, stepping that foot is scary and painful.

But I can’t miss class. Classes end in a few days. Exam is on the 15th and 16th. I can only teach them until the 11th. There’s no way I can miss a class. Like they say, the show must go on. Only a few days more… I’ll try to manage.

Lately, I’ve been having these massive headaches that last for days and I think it’s not just an ordinary headache anymore. I’d like to think that it’s because of my students that I get these headaches, but like last time when there was a 6-day break, I was having them even without classes. I don’t want to think it’s migraine either… like how people joke about… If you’re rich, you’re having a migraine. If you’re poor, you’re just hungry. XD

Anyway, did you know that there’s a treatment of Botox for migraines? It’s pretty cool, but a little pricey, US$950 per treatment, and only lasts about 3 months. Well… That’s a bonus for them rich people who want to be prettier–no wrinkles and no migraines!

I got sick last weekend because I got soaked Friday afternoon from the rain and attended a 2-hour class in an air-conditioned room. I spent my weekend sleeping most of the time because I was really feeling horribly crappy.

Now the colds are gone, but I still have the coughs. It’s not bad yet that I’m coughing up blood, but I feel like my lungs are bruised already. However, I’ve tried chicken soup (and burnt my tongue because Matt said I had to sip it real hot), hot tea, plain hot water, and plenty of orange juice, but nothing seems to work. So I bought cough syrup yesterday. It still doesn’t seem to do anything.

It’s really bothering me so much that I can’t concentrate on my work. Every time I cough I feel like my brain is going to explode.

My throat isn’t hurting much. It’s farther down my throat that hurts. I got worried that I might have bronchitis so I looked it up on Wikipedia (I know it’s not really the best source of information, but it’s good enough for a quick check). According to the symptoms, I don’t have it. So I clicked on coughs, and I have dry cough, and I discovered that I did buy the correct kind of cough syrup. It doesn’t have codeine though (hehe, I can’t trip on it). I discovered even something better as well:

Dark Chocolate can help you get rid of your persistent coughs.
