1. ENDOFUCKINGSCOPY. So because I've been having GERD symptoms and I've had "stomach heat", which is actually a comfy sensation- like lukewarm tea is being poured in my tummy every now and then, just that it's been a year and I'm starting to think it's stomach cancer. I swallowed a long tube of camera so the doctors can view my insides- from throat to small intestines. It was five minutes of hell. I had it without sedation so I felt every icky sensation. YUCK! The wire was the size of a thick pencil and sure it is much smaller than a penis but I had to swallow it, lubricant and all. It feels yuck if you have food stuck in your throat right? How much more a tube in out in out of your throat? HORRIBLE! I almost blacked out, I swear. I kept gagging and augh...just not sexy. I was silent the whole time though but when the doctor removed the scope, I sobbed like a baby. But anyway, DONE! The doc just found out that my esophagus muscle is kinda loose so maybe that was the reason for my burping and reflux. No stomach cancer. Hurray! Pahinga muna sa health investigations a little bit.
2. Marion is aiming for 400%. I used to worry about Sput and her lessons. I obsessed about it for a time. But now she's catching up real fast. It's as if a button is turned on and pooof! She's into her lessons all of a sudden. She took her Grade 1 Admission Exam two weeks ago and the teacher approached Hugo to say congratulations. Sput got perfect in BOTH Language and Math. She's just so ganado and I'm so relieved.
3. I got the FLUES. I have a flu five days and counting and it's making me blue. At first it was cool. I miss being sick with fever and all, ya know. The kind of sickness people really notice and not dismiss like my other issues. I was so weak I just lazed in bed for two days, getting up only to pee or eat. It's almost gone now save for the annoying cough that wakes up any organism within 20 meters radius. I got the blues because I feel so unproductive and old. I even smell old thanks to Pao de Arco. I will fight this. I will look and smell and think and feel young again. That's one goal for 2015.
4. Cambodia Creative Documentary workshop! After the little bit of success from the Nick and Chai documentary last year, I felt like I was floating afterwards with nothing to grab on to. Cliche but the truth. Soooooooo....this workshop. I've been so into creative docs lately especially family docs and I so cannot wait to learn! The residency will run for two weeks, free airfare, accommodation, everything. And because this sign was given to me, I must make more film soon.
5. CHARMS. I already have an anti-anxiety, anti-nega bracelet which I bought in Cebu. Last weekend, bought another charm- a pendant that attracts opportunities and money. Let's see if this works because things are not looking great in the money department lately.
