sick on new year's day

happy 2012! hope your NYE/NYD was great!

though my 1st day of the new year was baaaddddd... i was sick!!!

stop reading now if you couldn't care less because i will start talking about it... now:

i suspect it was bad hot cocoa or bad pork on NYE but none of us are sure. it was either GER or indigestion - the nausea, bloating, reflux - it was all yuck. i puked before bed. i vomited in bed {on the bed, to be clear, blech} at 4am, yuck. for the most of january 1st, i was in bed, in the corner with vomit bags, tissues and a trash can beside me. i could not sleep, threw up once before noon and about 3 times {i lost count} within 6 hours in the afternoon. i was sleepy, nauseated and hungry. i thought, "this is it, i'm not going to get any better, we're going to have to go to the ER." early in the evening, i took one capsule of "losec 20mg" for the GER. my feet and hands were clammy too so i drank water with a dissolved tablet of oral rehydration salts - "hydrite" i think it was called. i must have sipped 60ml or less of the entire 200ml of the cloudy liquid. i hated to waste it but i couldn't take anymore. i nibbled on a slice of apple and a cracker. i wished i could eat more. at 8pm, i had reflux again but nothing came out {apart from spit, but it would have felt better if something went up for that "after-relief" but i must have thrown up all there was to puke by then}. that vomit reflex - one after the other - was exhausting. then i plopped into bed and had this feeling that i was falling asleep {i tried to get my hopes up that this was coming} so i said that if i fall asleep {it was too early then}, please don't wake me. when i opened my eyes again, it was nearly midnight - i was ecstatic - i slept, finally! then i slept some more.

january 2nd it was better. still had nausea and some bloating, but no vomiting. i ate small portions of rice, viand, fruit and chewed thoughtfully. i sipped water. if it wasn't for the nausea, i would have eaten like crazy i was so hungry.

january 3rd, now, i feel so much better. some nausea but i can eat; but not a lot. smells bother me still. but i'm getting better. thank goodness my world did not end on new year's day {it just felt like it did}.

Gold ring size 6 for ref

A “pawnable” 0.69g 18k Saudi yellow gold ring (photo sent by the Shopee seller). My ring size is 6... in case I forget. Another buyer left a review that when they took it to Cebuana, they received an appraised value of P1,800 or ~50% of the retail price. Gold 18k market value is ~P3,400 per gram as of today (Sept. 11,2024). But for serious assets = gold bars are preferred over jewelry.  Actual ring I received ✨ Pretty small hearts design and stamped Au750 / 6. The diamond cuts make it sparkle. It looks very nice when worn. 

December in food pics 2023

  Chicken Nuggets (Purefoods Chicken Breast Nuggets) Yum with BBQ sause. Sliced mango yung nasa taas, masarap din, matamis. Homemade Baked Macaroni Ordered from a neighbor for noche buena. It has beef, mushrooms and bechamel sauce. Still yum. Second year in a row na since  2022 noche buena macaroni . Pork tocino and scrambled egg (Pampanga's Best Original Tocino) with suka, syempre. Dry yung eggs huhu. Sinangag sana yung rice pero bagong saing kasi. Dapat sa fried rice yung day-old na maalsa para buhaghag. Speaking of... tagalog ako pero yung term na "maalsa" sa bigas, recently ko lang naintindihan 😁 

Panda Express Everyday Bowl PH

Panda Express Everyday Bowl Delivery via Food Panda Panda Express PH:  "Everyday Bowl" 1 Entrée + 1 Side Orange Chicken + Fried Rice =  ₱  239.00  + rider's tip - discount voucher  Panda Express' orange chicken is already full of salty, sweet flavor so this many pieces is good for two if the other person is not very hungry. Bought their "Everyday Bowl" just to try since I was craving fried rice. Usually, I get the "classic plate" with 2 entrees + 1 side of mixed veggies.
