The day I saw the LIGHT

I never thought I'd see this lightAfter several back pain, stomach pain, trip to the toilet and trip to the doctors, I finally found out that I have gallstones. First of, how do you get stones in your gallbladder? doctors said they have 3 F's for this, female, fat and forty, so two checks for me but it'll be over 10 years before I'll be 40. And when that time comes, I'll be using Olay. LOL.
Okay back to getting gallstones, if you eat too much salty and fatty food and of course hereditary. So yes, my Dad had an operation because of gallstones as well as my uncle, aunt and a cousin whose stones were detected earlier so he doesn't need to go through an operation. Plus I have my own guilty feeling about fatty food.
As the day gets nearer to my schedule of operation, I pray that I will not feel a thing once I am in the operating room, because the thought of going in to the operating room, pulls my blood pressure to the line, all the more the sight of it. True enough before I thought of Zac Efron and Marc Gasol, yes, so that I can calm myself and to divert my mind off the operation, I thought of this gorgeous men. No offense BF but I really need for my mind to be creative and be busy. So true enough, before I was calm I heard the nurse say 140/100, that was my blood pressure, of course, I was freaking out inside.
They say Filipinos loves to laugh and would find something funny to even the most difficult situations and maybe that is true. So while I was trying to calm myself, Zac Efron and Marc did not do the trick but they were a big help. I spoke to the nurses. "Ate, para naman 'tong scene sa horror movie" (Ate, this is like a scene from a horror movie) Can you imagine the scene in all horror movies with hospital in it, where all you see are the lights, the camera is tilted up and its moving, then you'll here the door opening and you'll see the operating theater light. The big circle light, look at the top of this blog. Finally, the last thing I remembered was saying good morning to my doctor and then black.
I wanted to show you my gallstones here, but that would be gross, isn't it. I'll just give you an idea. It's black, they placed it in a bottle where you can shake it and it really sounds like a stone, the size of a rock on Katy Perry's engagement ring, if only I could make a ring out of it too.

The Reading Challenge

At the start of the year there were two reading challenges I committed myself to The Goodreads Reading Challenge where you will decide how many books you can read for the year. The other one I got from my cousin but upon searching in Google it's a Popsugar Reading Challenge.  I must have underestimated my annual calendar because I challenged my self to red 50 books in Goodreads. I thought "50 books? Oh that's nothing, I have all the time in the world." And guess what? It's mid of November and here's my reading challenge. Apparently I didn't plan on being too busy during mid year but I'm not complaining I just didn't expect it to be like that. Still, I'm happy to I have read 25 books so far. And these are mostly YA books. What's with YA anyway? Am I old to be reading it? But that's another blog entry I suppose. I am happy to discover new authors that I will sure follow (Sarah Haas, Cassandra Rose Clarke) and the likes. With these 2...

How To Be Interesting So That Other Can Envy and Notice You

My whole 32 years of existence, ok, minus the toddler years where I don’t really care; I want to be wanted, desirable, likable and according to Google, to achieve this you must be interesting and as part of my research that’s why  I came across this book. I hunted for this book in the hope that I can get tips so I can be interesting. In the cover it says:   Rule # 1. One must be attractive .  – If you are such a good friend or sister you will tell your mates that its personality that wins. I agree, but for the others to notice you, you must be attractive or else they will not make that second look or  make an effort to get to know you thus you are not given the chance to showcase your great personality. So, yes, a nod to this rule #1. Rule #2. One must be friends with other attractive people – Ever heard of the saying “Tell me who your friends are and I tell you who you are”? Now that you’re attractive do not stop there and make friends ...

Rediscovering what sparks joy

Hi, if there's really anyone reading this blog. I kept this blog open more of a open diary and realized that writing is form of therapy for me. For all those bottled up feeling that I couldn't express. The last blog post I did was 2019 that I started a vlog in YouTube, sadly that vlog is no longer existing. I could make up excuses as to why but its really one complicated reason, which could be for another blog post. I was going to write that its been a year since I last posted but and then realized that its 2022 now, well it could be a year if we don't really count 2020.  Since moving to the States five years ago (2020 counted here), I was busy trying to make my family and I's life better, financially more or less, ok more so I was really busy with work and making more money. Unconsciously trying to fulfill the wants that I couldn't afford. In the process, I forgot what would make me happy. At the rise of tiktok I have discovered posts that intrigued my curiosity. I...
