CAMWHORING.... nah, it's more than just a picture and a red beanie.

I want to go to Marinduque already

-but I can't, as of the moment.

I just hate that my schedule has a lot of tiny gaps in it that I couldn't afford to be far away from Manila. I guess my only option is to wait until I finished my enrollment for OJT *fingers-crossed* and then I can get the hell out of this place - not that I hate it here anything. It's just I want a laid back environment for a while because I've had  the most stressful semester of my student life. I just want to rest, that's all. 

The fact that Marinduque is very far away from Manila is perfect for relaxing and just forgetting the stressful life here in the city. Others may not see it but it's actually nice to wake up not hearing the roaring of jeeps, cars and noisy people in the streets and just breathe in the fresh air and see smiles from familiar faces in town. 

So why can't I just drop everything and leave? 


Is this phobia or what?

Ever since I got tonsillitis repetitively in a span of 2 weeks, sometimes I feel like avoiding super cold drinks and sweet desserts. After having that turtle pie (it's like chocolate mousse + ice cream cake) at Kamirori, I woke up with my throat burning and it got worse after a day up to the point I couldn't swallow even my own saliva. My saliva would just pile in my mouth (gross, I knooow) so I had to spit it out. Second day when it was hurting so bad, I couldn't sleep at all and just tossed and turned and cried a little bit because of the pain in my throat. I started taking antibiotics for 3 days and it worked like magic so I stopped at the third day when the doctor recommended taking it for 5 days. I stopped at day three because I feel like I was having some allergic reactions to the drug, like my hands would get itchy and reddish all of a sudden then after a while, it will subside. After I thought I was okay already, I bravely ate some silvannas and even ate chocolates.After a day or two my tonsils were swollen again and I had to take my antibiotics again - religiously this time. I avoided everything that could irritate my throat and after 5 days I think I finally recovered - until now. 

Well, I feel perfectly fine right now. I stopped taking my meds a few days ago and started drinking the usual cold water and even ate ice cream last monday. But every after I ate/drank something cold or sweet I would become conscious of my throat and would check on my tonsils once in a while (like I did a couple of minutes ago). 

It's just that I couldn't afford to be sick again because of our internships and the fact that I have this second interview on a HUGE company that I'm really stoked about. 

Soooo, I decided that I would just drink room temperature water for the rest of the month and vow not to eat anything that I think that would stress my tonsils. 

I'm just really, really afraid of tonsillitis because when I had them last December 2010, my fever was so high that I had chills and seizure, not to mention I kept on vomiting all over the place. 

It's just sad that I'm missing a lot specially its summer and it's my favorite season because I get to eat ice cream as much as I want - but I guess I couldn't do that now. I couldn't afford to be sick OR lose my voice (like what happened a few months ago that I totally lost my voice and it was so croaky that I sounded like an evil witch) anymore - I hated it.
