i learned something (yesterday)…

…and I had to time to write about it only today. That you don’t take diatabs (or any other medicine for LBM) twice within 8 hours, or you’ll get constipated for who-knows-how-many-days.
Before you go “eeeww,” I hope you pick this up because it’s healthy advice. Generally, I have good toilet habits (as in everyday) and you could imagine how upset I was when I had LBM yesterday early morning (from I don’t know where). Aside from the hassle of going to the bathroom every so often, I had to worry about emergencies during my trip to school, and the pain too. So I took this reliable little tablet at 530 am, but it caught up with me again at around 10am! So I asked our school doctor if she can give me another one, and she gives me the advice I quoted above. Neither can she do anything for the “hilab ng tyan,” but she affirmed by decision to buy and take lots of Gatorade for rehydration. So I didn’t take another tablet.
That was yesterday.. can you guess what’s happening to me today?? Now for somebody like me, that’s eeeewww!!

Little rants and raves

Boos!

• I have a pimple!!! On my forehead!! It has been years since I last had a very visible pimple, and I know that this was caused by my super hectic sked and not being able to wash my face before literally falling asleep on the sofa. It’s slowly growing bigger, and it’s being hit by my hair.. which I know irritates it more.
• Exams in UP are coming up!!! (at least in my two subjects) Oh no!! Review na, review na! May papers due pa.. waaaaaaahhh!!!
• It’s a bit hard to be coordinating the Lourdes training program! Nakakaloka!!
• I still cannot find regular time for my “sacredhalfhour..” *sniff*
• After so many years, we were again besieged by floodwaters inside our house, knee-deep at that! Minor casualties were the sofas (but never mind, I still manage to sleep on them mindless of the smell everytime I am dead tired!)

Yays!

• We saw Monster House. It’s not a great movie, but it was worth it, I mean being busy in the office forever, I deserve a breather in the middle of the week.
• It’s almost the weekend.. It’s almost September 24 *wink, wink* I’m quite excited actually. That’ll be the start of it all..
• My friends Dons and Jun are proud parents! Woohoo! Congrats. Actually my friend Imee, too.
• I saw my California-based tita-ninang after sooooo many years (my dad’s second cousin), and guess where.. during my lola’s 99th birthday! Now that’s definitely something to rave about!
• After many years, I have made contact again with an estranged friend from 6 years ago, and my closest second cousin. Haaay.. sarap ng feeling..
• My high school best friend has come back from a successful volunteer trip in Canada. She celebrated her birthday, too (although I still have her gift with me – rant)
