Absie

I wasn't able to come to work last week after my leave due to a viral infection. I was ready to go to work when I noticed in the morning that something feels rough in my throat.


I commuted from Antipolo to Shaw and ignored what that feeling thinking that it will just go away. Before going to bed I did a little research I thought I might have symptoms of viral infection. I've had this in the past it was worse actually I even thought I might undergo an operation because the doctor found two abscesses close to my throat I'm lucky it disappeared after taking antibiotics. I got worried when I started having difficulty swallowing food so I texted my sister to buy me two pieces of over the counter antibiotics. I decided to self medicate but what works for me may not for everyone so it's still recommended to see a doctor.

Not Yet

I was with my mom on our way to Antipolo when we nearly had a fatal accident. It was drizzling and the road was slippery but that didn't stop the reckless driver of the jeepney that we're in from driving fast until the break quit working we swerved and almost fell off the cliff hadn't he intentionally bumped at a stone on the side of the road. It was a scary experience I thought it's the end of me. I remember when I told my mom to ride the jeepney that went ahead but she insists for us to be on that jeep. Nevertheless, I'm still thankful for that we got home safe I guess it's not my time to go yet.


I guess mom had the fright of her life and got stressed out so she decided to cook Ginataang Saging (banana with coconut milk) to make her feel better. I thought it's too sweet maybe she still have hangover from what happened. We had Pancit topped with sardines for dinner. I thought my elder sister will not eat that anything with sardines, surprisingly she liked it. Later in the afternoon, Skycable peeps installed our cable, they actually came sooner than expected so good.


I'm back from my three days off. I feel sober I have rested well. Ever since we moved back to our other house along Sumulong Highway still in Antipolo, I'm always looking forward to spending my rest day there because I get to real food especially vegetables. Mom would always cook healthy food for us she knows that we don't have time to cook good food in the apartment, we have nothing but processed food.


Mom and dad are leaving for Baguio how I wish I can come but I have shift tonight. Argh.

Moving Out

I just got back from Antipolo a couple of hours ago. Mom helped me in moving pieces of furniture from our house in Antipolo where we stayed for twenty-two years to our other house in Sumulong Highway. It's kinda hard for me and my sister to let go of our space because it's accessible to pretty much everything but we rarely stay there and mom wants to help us pay our rent in Shaw that's why we decided we'll have the space available for others to rent. 


Letting go is hard to do. I hope things work out fine.
