sick of BEING SICK

SWALLOW. Went to see my favorite EENT [Otorhinolaryngologist] Specialist last night to consult on something that I’ve been feeling in my throat for the past 2 to 3 weeks.

Dr Roman Navarro, of Makati Medical Center, asked me to stretch my tongue out as he pulled it with a gauze-like napkin to see what’s going on with the toad in my throat. He saw slime alright. PHLEGM. I’ve been singing and eating and drinking with a tinge of weirdness when I swallow. It’s like a piece of flesh that is being “caressed” as I move that muscle. I felt my worst during the 2^nd week but decided and hoped to let it heal a bit first before taking it to the doctor. Thank God, it subsided as week 3 approaches. However, it’s still weird because there’s a sticky feeling that remained.

The doctor asked me if I have colds, but I don’t remember having even a momentary sniffle in the past few days. He’s certain that it’s from my nasal tract down. He should be, he’s the specialist. Haha. He told me that he can do some suctioning but my throat might bleed especially that I had a previous laryngeal bleeding condition. He then prescribed a medicine that would melt the sticky phlegm in a few days and do it’s natural flushing after awhile.

He told me that I might get runny nose, coughing and other signs related to this as I take the meds. Gah. I had my first sniffle immediately after taking the first dose.

PHYSICAL THERAPY SESSIONS. 7^th session of my back therapy at Makati Med, too. 3 more to go and I will totally become superhuman. Thanks to LARAE of the Physical Rehab and Medicine Dept for laying her SOLAR HANDS on me. Haha. — One thing I noticed at the PT dept was 80% of the clients are 3-4 times my age. The remaining 19.99% are speech therapy patients and I am a kryptonite casualty.

HANPHIL STEAM BEDS. There’s this esteemed spa at Jupiter Place in Jupiter St, Makati which offers their Magnetic Far Infrared Therapy Massage Rolling Bed free to the public. It has recorded thousands and thousands of healing testimonials from its patrons as they religiously lay there every single/other day in the beds for 20mins each, back and tummy up. The amazing results were seen especially to those people that I know who don’t have the means to go to the doctor for a regular check-up. Some of its benefits are as follows: Significant Pain Relief, Improve Memory and Sleep, Improve Blood Circulation, Massage Benefits & Deep Relaxation, Enhance Immune System, Liver Detoxification, Heavy Metal Body Cleanse, Increase Energy and Reduce Stress, Internal Cleansing with Full Body Cleanse, Improve Sexual Health.

The healing process is more effective when maintained with Alkaline Water consumption that this spa sells at a very economical price. I have been lying in their beds for 2 weeks now and believe or not, my throat slime that I mentioned earlier started getting better on the first two sessions I laid there. It’s unbelievable but really effective. The beds with their mighty layers do a good deep-heating effect that medicines don’t produce. My back and neck pains which are the reasons why I’m having a series of therapeutic sessions started going back to normal, too. Amazing talaga. I would like to thank the good hearts of HANPHIL PEOPLE for sharing this great invention to those who really need it. Aside from the healing beds, there’s free karaoke for those who are still waiting for their turn on the beds. Aint it a good bargain!?

That’s doing ordinary things extraordinarily well. Harhar. I’m sick of being sick so I’m doing the healing process simultaneously by visiting HANPHIL beds regularly.

Yes, I am an OLD HAG.

I had a very weird dream last night.

It was all about my scholastic cum career path that’s been giving me some helluva stress ever, ever since. Here’s how it goes:

I was looking for a way to get inside De La Salle – Manila Campus to talk to the registrar’s office on how I can go back to school after two and a half years of absence because I realized that my life is getting nowhere.

I at least finished 2 years of Multimedia Arts courses but just decided to continue the remaining units at the PAMANTASAN NG MAKATI, which I did during those 2 yrs of being on LOA. Seriously now, I have nothing against public scholastic institutions but having a degree on a non-conventional curriculum under this particular school already limits the student to mediocre facilities and dated infrastructure as compared to a private organization.

Hence, I scoured the entire school after luring the security guard that I am there to get my “diploma” just to give the impression that I am an alumnus. I entered the campus and saw a shanty-like environment where the staffs are in their soiled casual attire and the registrar, upon opening the office door, was still toweling her hair dry after a shower.

I was flunked by several people that I know. One of them is a friend who sells barbecues along South Ave and her husband who drives tricycle for a living. I really don’t know what there roles are but they’re just there.

And I snuck out of it all as I awake. Meaning? Maybe I’m just too graphic about how educational background affects one’s chances in landing to the best future possible.

It is 645am. First November office day.

Before totally leaving the house, I took a peak at my diploma to see if the name of the school that’s written there is a De La Salle Institution and not anything else. :p
