A Week To Remember...

For most of us, welcome back to the real world--back to work! So here I am, at my desk, not really working--I'm blogging. It seems that my mindset is not yet back to where it should be. But my main objective in this piece is to warn everybody...

Last Tuesday night as we were craving for Japanese buffet, Pao and I decided to eat at Saisaki in Alabang Town Center. After going through the whole appetizer-to-dessert yummy meal, we met up with my family for a nightcap. Nice meal. Nice night...

...until around 2am when I felt nauseous. At that time, I vomited. Darn, I said to myself, I must've eaten a lot to cause indigestion! But then again, I started having a bad tummy--the worst case scenario! Every 30-45 minutes (and this no joke), I'd have to go, either vomit or poop! And guess what...after an hour or two, Pao started his own battle. Food poisoning...great.

We had no sleep at all--we saw the sun rise, saw it peak at noon, and saw it set in the afternoon. Despite our efforts to rehydrate, we still felt so dehydrated, tired, weak. All these feelings, coupled with stomach cramps (that made me wimper and curl up) was yet to be topped with high fever! We were crawling in and out of bed, up and down the stairs, in and out of doors. We can't even attempt to bring ourselves to the ER for the fear of having to go in the middle of the trip; so we decided to have our consultations over the phone with our good ol' doctor (the one who did my last abscess...ouch!)

In the next couple of days, all we we ever had was the never-ending congee or mami paired with Sky Flakes and the never-ending Gatorade. Oh! Can I just tell you that the 'tea' from boiled Guava leaves tastes awful...but it helped (I think).

One hell of an experience! One hell of a long weekend!

Lesson: Do not eat at Saisaki anymore....period
