FreeDAMN!

To those who don't know me well: I am restless--constantly finding chores to do, tasks to accomplish, projects to finish. With this being said, I was the most stubborn patient over the past two weeks (I can't help it!)--in effect, my stitches got torn off my skin and the drain got dislodged out of the slit. Ouch. I went to see the doctor, who was surprised with how things turned out. I remember him saying, "This wasn't supposed to happen." Well, it did. Sorry, doc. All of a sudden, I got scared. I didn't want to go through the painstaking experience again. I begged for him not to sew me up again and to tell me that it'll heal just fine. He wasn't supposed to give in; good thing the other doctor gave me the much needed reassurance (I love you, doc!) as long as I take things down a notch. Pow sure had a hard time taking care of me *hehehe*

At long last...after being sedentary for two weeks, I'm free from lying in bed most of the day, including the limping and the constant dressing changes! I can now enjoy nice, pampering showers without having to evade the affected area (my shower time then was at least an hour for I can't go about my routine without whimpering). I can now easily sit up and stand, as well as go up and down the stairs. Salvation at last!

Recap of the past days:

Sunday-double date: First stop: Super Bowl of China. To satisfy every craving, we went for the combination platter (have you tried their suckling pig? Wow...lovely) along with several equally tasteful, fantastic dishes. They also have this Chinese beer (Tsing Tao) which tastes great and is reasonably priced. Next stop: Old Swiss Inn. My gawd...delectable pies and cakes. It's a chocoholic's fantasy to indulge in their Toblerone fondue--melted chocolate served with fruits, marshmallow, sponge cake. Just thinking about it now makes me salivate...hmmmm...chocolate. Another thing to rave about, aside that it's open 24 hours, is its nice, quiet ambience. Enough...I'm getting hungry.

Monday-wedding: I braved to attend a wedding which, by the way, was a feel-good event (it always is for me). Nice setup. Organized. Great food. However, no alcoholic beverages; it was a choice between iced tea or calamansi juice served in plain straight glasses. Guests had to toast with water in wine glasses and, honestly, people like me looked forward to having wine at such a posh event. Anyway...afterwards, we then decided to head to Capones to quench the drinker's thirst, my thirst, with my fave Kurant-Seven (Wuhoo! I'm done with antibiotics) and to listen to a band playing glam rock. Cool! It was a night of reminiscing, nodding heads, and singing along. Soon enough, we got hungry and craved for a Hungree Burger--cheap but good.

Tuesday-salon: Oh, yes, I allowed myself to get pampered--haircut, hairspa, pedicure...the works! Going to the salon is one of my happy-feeling sought-after rituals, but my gawd...this one felt oh-so great...heavenly! It's time to re-energize and be part of the moving world again.

A message to everybody: I'm back!!! (",)
