I hate ER Staff who aren't good with needles

I sometimes feel so many things at once I end up like an operating system that just crash. We were at the ER one morning that time I had *tooooot - insert medical condition here*. I was already feeling stressed for few weeks because of work pressure and all these "where are you headed with your career" plan I'm expected to know being in the IT service industry for years. 
I was in pain and asked the doctor to IV me something that would make it go away. And like what always happens, I get someone who doesn't know how to work the needle into a persons bulging vein. My veins are very visible! I tell you. It's far more defined than my future!  Damn ER person pushed it, lost her way, WIGGLED the fuckin  needle a bit, pulled it out, then attempted to get it in again. This sounded like one of those awful sexual encounters people post on the Internet. I was already in pain! Why in the world would you add more?! 
She was kind enough to call the other nurse to help out. 
But by the time they left me, my tears were already pulling a Tinuy-an falls. I don't usually cry in public. Behind ER curtains was still public to me. I was a mess! Good thing having a husband on events like these otherwise I would just look miserable crying because of pointy ouchie! 
On a normal day, I would judge a person fretting over needle pain (yes Boss, I'm judging you lol). I'm judging my ER patient self now. But I don't know, seems like recently I've been struggling with so many question I do not have answer to, so I just push them to the side but can't make them completely go away. 
They just build up and explode the moment these feelings get a chance. Which it did at that ER. I was so emotional, they were immediately reminded of the protocol of testing if patent was pregnant even though I told them I just tested negative literally day before while at a family clinic for that same thing. 

Next topic of randomness - I looooveee the lumpia toge Mina brought today! I love the sawsawan too! Ugghhhhh 
You remember those slumbooks in which you list your favorite things. I may or may not write MTM. But I'll try:

Lumpia Toge
Lumpia shanghai
Pakbet na maraming kalabasa and walang okra
Gata sitaw + kalabasa (lalo na the one from Putsi ko Ay)
Other kalabasa dishes - pumpkin soup, guisa kalbasa, etc.
Shoyu from Ramen Yushoken 
Atchara 
fried talong
Yung Spanish sardines sa cafeteria ng Asian Hospital
Malapot na sinigang na baboy 
New York Cheesecake
Shrimp na luto ni Mama, okay, pati ni boss (sarap umuwi ng Bulacan!)
Pepper Corn ng Serenitea
Padthai na kinain namin sa somewhere sa Singapore, pati sa Lime and Basil
Honey Bourbon Chicken ng Whistlestop -- ODK I miss you!!!!! 
Choco Butternut ng Dunkin'
Indomie Mi Goreng

Okay this post got sidetracked. I'll end here and magpapakatakaw again.

City Kart Racing

We went Kart "racing" at City Kart Racing in Circuit Makati.
They raced pala, ako pabebe speed lang. Natakot ako sa mga sharp curves e. I step on accelerator lang talaga kapag straight part nung track. Despite that, it was an exhilarating activity.
Price starts at P900 something. You can walk in, but best to call them ahead.

Naumpisahan ko na yung Maldives blogpost ko, pero random blabber na lang muna since magulo ako, at magulo rin naman ako magkwento sa totoong buhay.

Wait kumatok yung kapitbahay.

Si ..Jenerika - or Jean Erika? Pero nung pag pronounce nya "Generika". Nakaka distract lalo. 

Random photo no. 1: BFF Donn's hand-off slash bribery

Medyo ilang beses na ko na-late and muntik ma-late sa work. This is soooo unlike me. Nung sa GMA pa ko di ako nale-late this frequent. Buti nung minsan may pa BOGO promo si Dunkin'; umabot sakin. 

Me: BFF, baka ma-late ako.
BFF: Paktay, (blah blah blah chenelyn I forgot his exact words about sasalo ng ongoing call).
Me: Ayy, absent na lang pala 'ko.  
BFF: Gusto mo ba ng Choco Butternut? 
Me: Yes. I love free stuff!
BFF: Oh dali pumasok ka na. 

Papasok naman talaga ko. 

ps. I got to the office on time. Tapos na rin yung call by the time I got there.


Random photo no. 2: Rooftops and skyline

I love matataas na lugar. I love how it feels secluded. Nakaka miss mamundok. I'm so out of shape. I need to workout and mamundok ulit since wala namang akong pwedeng puntahan rooftop. 


Random photo no. 3: Pasabuy from Japan

Ang bango ng baby powder na 'to! Buti na lang nagpunta sila Mina sa Japan. Okay, naalala ko na naman yung hindi natuloy na trip to JPN *cries in poverty*
Ang shunga ko rin, di ko pa naiuwi yung ibang pasalubong and pasabuy ko from Mina. 

Yun na lang. 

Sana ayusin ko na yung Maldives post. 
Sana inayos ko rin yung ibang travel posts. Like, yung KL, Malaysia nung 2nd birthday ni Maggie. Anuna, mag fo-4 y.o na sya! 
Yung Bacolod x Lakawon trip, malapit na mag anniversary!

Dear self,

Paki ayos. 

sincerely,

Overnight stay at Sundowners Beach Villas

You’ve probably seen an ad on social media of this Instagram-worthy resort in Zambales. We also did! I’m blessed and cursed to have kaladkarin friends. Magkayayaan lang sa chat, nakapag plano agad ng lakad. Thanks to ate Erliza who made the booking for us as early as January of this year! The weekend slots are quickly getting filled! Mabuti na lang mabilis kumilos and madaling kausap mga tao. Bahala na sa schedule by then (RR, Juicy, and I being on the same team).

We left Alabang at around 7:30 in the morning. Had a quick (if over an hour can be counted as quick) stopover sa NLEX for breakfast; then nag grocery shopping sa Subic. We arrived at our destination in Botolan, Zambales around 3:30 in the afternoon.

We booked the Left 2 bedroom pool villa. For P 14,000, the place can accommodate 7 pax. But since there was 9 (and a half) of us, we added for the extra pax.  As usual, nakalimutan ko na kung magkano total.

Here are some photos courtesy of classmate Ren.

Super convenient para sa mga ma-jinarts na friends having classmate Ren around! He likes taking photographs and was very patient being the official photographer of the trip! 

This trip was extra special because a very important question was asked – Mike proposed to Jusyl!

She said yes!

special participation of Mang Tomas 

walang ligo ligo, pictorial agad 

sorry na R, favorite ko kasi tong moment na to 

Team Mustard

Bago mag uwian,nag merienda kami sa Kabigting's Halohalo sa MarQuee Mall. Masarap din and sulit!

So much fun to travel with friends, especially kapag may masipag mag asikaso (Jhell), magaling magluto (RR), mahilig kumuha ng picture (classmate), and mga madaling kausap at masipag mag drive (Mike and team Tecson). Thanks na rin Jusyl sa ambag mong ganda.  

Congratulations Sweeties Mike and Juicy!

Nag sleepover sila Mommy/Daddy dito sa apartment kagabi. Usual moves, check lahat ng gamit namin si Mommy, si Daddy check pinupuna ng pagkakagawa ng bahay. Hahaha.
Humingi ng NESTEA Milk Tea si Mommy kaninang umaga bago sila umuwi. Nakita nya sa pantry namin a.k.a. ibabaw ng ref. So I gave her a few, 3 pieces to be exact.
Just this afternoon, nagtimpla ako and messaged her via Viber.
Kring: Best served over ice. (+ photo of my glass)
Mommy: Yes, hindi ko pa natimpla. 2 pcs give ko each Tita Baby and Aisa
Haaay, super mapag bigay talaga nanay ko. Kahit sa mga simple bagay, palagi nya shine-share.
I want to give her the world. Ipapamigay nya pa din most likely.

I was doing fine at home, NOT eating sweets. Then I went to SM, BAM!!! In less than an hour = Krispy Kreme! Serenitea! May nalalaman pa kong 50% sweetness level. Girl! Pakatotoo lang tayo. 

Haayyy summer na naman kasi. Ang hirap umiwas. Yesterday, Adobo na lasang Paksiw ulam namin. Edi syempre dapat may partner na Coke! 

Try and try na lang ulit sa pag iwas. Pa moral support naman dyan!

It's March 2019 and About Time I Write My First Post For the Year

Ano ba ang pinaka ayos na comeback blogpost after being away for few months?

Ano pa, edi random thought vomit! Pero sige na nga, wait, I’ll try to gather my thoughts. 

• Project CKGA
• Wedding Day
• Marriage
• Honeymoon
• Other random shit

Medyo mahirap mag blog pag madilim and gutom. Also, crap - na-turnoff ko yung touchpad ng laptop ko and I don't know how to turn it back on. 

Wala pagkain, so I guess, iinom ko nalang ng tubig 'tong hunger pangs. 

Okay, first topic, Project CKGA - nakaka underwhelm, yun na yon. 5 Posts? Well, I started late na rin kasi. Sabi nung ibang mga graduate, nakaka miss daw wedding preps. LOL, K girl. I still remember how exhausted I was nung mga final weeks before our wedding. As in, naiiyak na ko kasi gusto ko na matulog, but there's always something that needs to be finished. Medyo na cut short siguro "wedding high" namin kasi nag Christmas na, then New Year. Do I miss the preps? Sakto lang. A couple of friends who are preparing for their upcoming wedding had been asking. Enthusiastic naman ako sa pag share ng experience namin, but naghohold back din, coz kanya kanyang trip. Mas maganda ma-discover nila on their own; lam mo yun, I think disadvantage rin yon for me sa dami ng sinearch ko, may mga bagay na di naman na talaga kailangan, nakiki sabay lang ako. Off the top of my head - wedding wands! *rolls eyes hanggang sa makita ang brain* -- as in, bakit ko pa ba pinush pag bili ng materials non?! uh huh, di ko nagamit yung 10pcs na nagawa ko, kasi pangit na pangit ako, sa gawa ko. gaaaahh.. change topic!!!!!! 

Siguro, ang favorite kong part ng preps namin, and I should've made a separate post about this, is nung nag Discovery Weekend kami. Preapare for your marriage, not just the wedding. I've attended several retreats growing up; from highschool, and family retreat nung active pa sila Mommy and Daddy sa group nila. So medyo meron na 'kong idea on what could go on. For boss, it's somewhat new experience. Meron nung collge kami, but not sure what his take nun, or if he was really engaged ba sa mga retreat namin -- I think isa lang ang nasamahan nya? 
Itong activity siguro yung marerecommend ko sa lahat ng nagpprepare, kahit hindi Catholic. 

Wedding Day! I've decided to make a separate post na lang about this. kthx.

Marriage, ayan na. Nung kabataan ko. solid ang tingin ko sa marriage. Growing up, oblivious ako sa mga marital problems and broken family. Sa kinalakihang street ko kasi, "buo" mga family. Until I grew a bit, and someone close left her family. And nung tumatanda na, marami na nakilala, naging "not shocking" na for me, if someone was raised by a single parent. Kumbaga, alam ko na nangayari yon, but I said YES when he proposed. 
Sya kasi, we can never be sure about anything in this life, pero sya, I think sya yung katumbas nung SOLID na alam ko when I was younger. Hindi ko na nga namalayan kung kelan nangyari yun. 
Turning 3 months na kami as married couple. Pinag hahandaan ko parin yung winawarning nilang adjustment phase. Sabi nga sa isang topic nung DW, iba iba tayo ng Family of Origin, so baka akala ko ayos lang na ganito, sya pala hirap na. Sana lang, hindi sya yung nasa struggling side, kasi sobrang chill ko lang. Hindi ako nahihirapan - I mean, sana may exempted sa stage na yon, kung meron man, ako siguro - or too soon to tell? H'wag naman sana.

Honeymoon - yep, separate topic na lang rin

ORS - as in super duper random - photo dump here we go

huling book na natapos kong basahin, puro na naman ako Netflix!!
