swollen lips update

dada's nomnoms

I cannot spell "broccoli" right.

Quick recap: Bit and sucked on a shrimp's head on 3/14/16 Monday, dinner. Lips tingled and itched so took half a Zyrtec right away. Lips felt tight for 2 days. On the 3rd day, 3/17/16 Thursday, woke up with noticeably swollen & white-crusted lips (mainly upper lip). It got a little better during the day. On 3/18/16 Friday (TODAY), woke up with the swollen white-crusty lips again (upper lip's center border line's barely visible); it looks worse than yesterday. Took Cetirizine 5mg (half of 10mg tab) in the afternoon.

So, am I allergic to shrimp now?

It's turning out to be shrimp week here. Had a large ebi tempura (no head) on 3/15/16 Tuesday for dinner and pancit with baby shrimp on 3/17/16 Thursday for dinner. The pancit noodles tasted like it was boiled with shrimp essence (dinikdik na shrimp heads and shells).

I'm getting ready for bed now. Slathered lips with petroleum jelly and took another 5mg of Cetirizine, just in case.

Cold, Windy, Audacity, Congee

Lovely weather now. It's cold - not too cold that I have to bundle up - it's nice. It's windy outside too. Mosquitoes in my room are not afraid. It used to be that when you wave a hand over one that's "dining" on you, it would fly away. Now, when I feel an itch on my leg and put a hand over it ever so calmly, I squash the bug. Gross. Here was my dinner yesterday, chicken congee or arroz caldo . Suitable dish during cold weather 'cause it's filling and the spiciness from the ginger hits the spot.

Paymaya duplicate account 2018 [fixed]

How to fix a Paymaya Duplicate Account issue? Do not waste your time sending an email to support@paymaya.com or messaging PaymayaCares on FB because you will only get a canned response (and a headache). YOU NEED TO TALK TO A HUMAN BEING... If you do not have a landline but you do have a Smart number, call *788 directly. This is free. That's what I did. I spoke with a rep and she fixed it right away, mabilis lang. She said the BSP (Bangko Sentral) is strict and will only allow 1 upgraded account per user. Any attempts to upgrade a different number will flag the new account and put you in this duplicate account mess and you won't be able to add money to this new number anymore. (The original account will not be affected though.) Because they cannot cancel the submitted upgrade request on the new number (it doesn't work that way daw), I had to choose which number I want to keep-- If I choose to keep the old upgraded number, they will delete the duplicate account and I

GlobeAtHome no internet [fixed]

Globe at Home: "Connected without internet" ================ 11/4/2023 Saturday ================ 12 Noon: We lost our wifi today. After troubleshooting* a few times -- still no "internet" light on the modem; it is off while all other lights are green. *Power off modem for 30 seconds and wait for it to boot up. ~2:45pm: I called Globe's customer service 211 . It's free to call with a Globe #. Automated recording for broadband services - give your customer account # and wait for a human to answer. I didn't wait too long -- The rep told me that since there's no advisory for my area, to keep troubleshooting because they might be able to fix it on their end later today, but she still put me down for a tech "home visit" for tomorrow. I received my report reference # via text message too.  She said I will also give that ref # if I want to request for a "bill adjustment" later. Modem status 4pm: I logged into the modem, the da
