oh yes! I'm back. Did you miss me? haha. Okay, this ellipsis strike isn't faring well. Just now, I can't help myself from typing those dots. Grrr!

So, i have been in the hospital for 9 days. Yep! 9 DAYS! Short, huh? Sarcasm aside, it was really hard to be in there. I was like lying all day in bed. You want to know my diagnosis? Well then.

1. Typhoid fever
2. Dengue hemorrhagic fever stages II and III
3. Pre-auricular sinus infection
4. Pleural effusion
5. Pneumonia

Few?!! :soju: see? I was really sick!!! It all started on a Monday, July 26. I was in school. Yep. And I was hungry. So I ate at the Hapag Pinoy in the CAS Canteen. I don't know what viand was that. It was giniling (pork or beef, whatever!) with peas and diced potatoes and stuff. That was it. And then back to class. Went home. When I arrived at home my dad was there so I asked him if he could drop me by at the G-Unit Net Cafe because I would eat lunch there. I totally forgot that I already ate lunch. My stomach was growling so I thought I'm hungry. Turns out, there was no food at the G-Unit Net Cafe so I went back home and cooked instant noodles. YUM!!! Then I slept for about 2 hrs. :yawn: When I woke up, I already have fever. I was looking for the thermometer in vain. Anyway, I just took a paracetamol and did school stuff. The next morning, I woke up with the chills! I went to my parent's room and asked for a blanket. I was really having the chills. My teeth can't stop chattering and my limbs are really shaking. Even if I have the blanket wrapped around me and the industrial fan in my room was turned off, I was still shivering. That was Tuesday then and I don't feel like going to school. I really feel bad. But we have a test that day in Botany Lab and our group in PE was the moderator for the day. So I have to go to school. I decided to attend those important classes na lang. I slept for a while and then I asked Aprille if we could go to school together since her class would be at 10 and mine would be too. And so we did go to school together. When I arrived there it turns out that the Botany Lab Instructor (Mrs. Esperanza) was not around. So we just discussed the results of our lab experiment for the thesis and then me and my friends went to Robinson's Place Ermita to have lunch. We decided to have lunch at Kenny Rogers and we will meet Joyce there too. Steph and I already ordered lunch but Chike wasn't hungry so she just stayed there. I ordered spaghetti since I felt that I couldn't eat a lot. While waiting for Joyce to finish her class(we were in different sections), I was having the chills again and at Kenny Rogers! OMG! People were really staring at me and I feel very uncomfortable at that time. So when Joyce arrived, we went to the College of Pharmacy and I directly went to the couch there and immediately dozed off. Steph and Joyce went home after awhile. Actually Steph, Chike and I were classmates in PE but Steph was having asthma attacks so she skipped that class. But I need to be there!!! Argh! Talk about torture! So PE class didn't really go well and our prof was kinda mad at us. She said that we should have been more prepared. Well, she was really right!

The next day, I really can't make it to school and I was vomiting at that time. I was having a high fever (40 degrees celsius) and I was vomiting a lot! I can't drink water then because I don't like the taste of water at that time. I couldn't take anything in.

Thursday was a lot worse. That afternoon, since I wasn't faring well I was rushed to an emergency clinic here in our village. The pediatrician there told my mom that I need to be confined because I was really dehydrated. My blood pressure was 80/40. Really low! My temperature was still 40 degrees. I was still vomiting. The pedia there asked me to drink Hydrite (I think or a substitute for that). Blah! It tastes yuck! Gatorade was better! So they performed the tourniquet test on me to see if I have dengue. Negative. (whew! what a relief!) Later that afternoon, I was rushed at the Olivarez General Hospital. Why that hospital? It was near us and besides, my doctor's there. Dr. Neal Orteza. I was with my dad and we were at the emergency room. They took my vital signs (temp, blood pressure, height, weight, etc). Then they asked me if I feel dizzy. yes. They made me lie on a bed there with my feet propped with pillows. An IV was inserted within moments. OUch! I had it on my left hand so that I could still eat, write, and text ;-) with my right hand. I was crying. I know this would be a burden on my family's pockets. Of course, being confined is not easy nor is it light. And I stayed there for 9 days.

I was diagnosed with typhoid fever. But the doctor noticed that my platelet count was dropping when it should not. With typhoid, it was only the white blood cells that drop and not the platelets. With dengue, the platelets drop with the WBC. So the doctor thought that I have dengue. They observed for a few more days and my platelets really were dropping. Dengue was then added to the list. The doctor gave me antibiotic for typhoid and lots of IV fluids (suero) for my hydration as treatment for dengue. Days passed and I wasn't faring well. Instead, I was faring really bad. On some days, the doctor would say that since I was feeling well that morning during his rounds and if I wouldn't have fever that night I would be dismissed from the hopsital but my body wouldn't cooperate. I would have high fever and chills hours after the doctor made rounds. It continued for days. The doctor said that since I wasn't doing well with the previous antibiotics, he would switch to the more expensive one but more effective. And since I couldn't breathe well my mom asked for an oxygen tank. And so I was wearing now an oxygen mask for my respiration. Nurses were rushing to my room to assist me. They were giving me tablets and monitoring my blood pressure and temperature by the hour. I also had an xray to see if there was something on my lungs. Results came out. I had a complication. My lungs are filled with water, that's pleural effusion, and I have pneumonia. Those were added to the list then. But the preceding days, as I was vomiting really hard, my previous pre-auricular sinus infection came back to life. As I was vomiting hard, my pre-auricular sinus spurted blood. Gross!!!! :soju: :knockout:

The doctor said, "Ang bata-bata, ang dami ng pinoproblema." That was his statement regarding my illness. Haha. Think about that. I have 5 maladies. haha. Good thing I survived. My mom said, while I was having the fever and the chills and I can't breathe well my chance of surviving was 50/50. My nails would even turn black. And you would really see my chest heaving really hard. Like I was groping for breath. I was groping for life.

With the powerful antibiotic in my veins and the medicine to remove the water in my lungs and the other medications, soon I was on my way to recovery. Prayer groups were constantly visiting my bed to pray over me. Thanks to their prayer and for the support of my family, relatives, my friends and those of my parents. Thanks to them, for without them I wouldn't have been given a second chance to live. Thanks to them that me and my family survived this great trial in our life.

In closing, I would like to thank everyone for their support. For mama, papa, and mommy for taking turns in watching over me as I lie in my bed and as I walk towards and from the bright light. For rhalph, danna, kuya roger, Handmaids of the Lord, Couples for Christ, and other friends for visiting me while I was sick. For my family, relatives, friends, and neighbors for the support, prayers and the offerings. Last but not the least, to Almighty God, thank you for the second life. To all, thank you for contributing to my recovery. I owe you my second life. :msphilChoi:

Currently feeling: thankful

To everyone who's dying to know who he is:

I am very sorry for I cannot disclose his identity. He's still alive. I would tell the world if he's already dead. *just kidding* But really, I would never (for the life of me) tell the world who he really is. It's dangerous. Too dangerous. (dramatic, huh?) But, trust me! It would be better if you don't know. Besides, I am SOOOO OVER HIM!!!! That was what I would call puppy love. Haha. I knew from the start that my crushing over him wouldn't last long because of a lot of circumstances. We couldn't and wouldn't be together forever.

Treat Fresh as like Daniel Radcliffe or Brad Pitt. OMG!!! *drools*

P.S. I don't have to go on a diet. Yes! I'm satisfied now. I weigh like when I was in Grade 6. *laughs* really! I was lighter pa nga eh. (the result of 9 days in the hospital) so if you want to lose weight... (you know what i'm thinking... just kidding!!!!) :P

Avah mga bata, dinaig nyo pa kami ng Lolo Upo nyo sa pag-expressions physically ng inyong mga peelings ah. As if naka-glue na ang mga hands nyo with each other at more on embracing at may-i-yakap-ng-boy-ang-bewang-ng-girl ang eksena nyo. At wa na raw kayo piniling place, kahit sa class outside the UP ay di kayo ma-separada. Uhum! Kahit ganito ang lola nyo, conservativeness pa rin ako. Atupagin nyo muna ang pag-aaral nyo ha. Besides, maraming blakmates ang nakaka-notice at discomforted kahit wa lang nila tok senyo. Kaya pls... children... behave!

This is it! By tomorrow, I would be officially on leave.

Early this morning, me and my mom went to UP Manila College of Pharmacy. Why? Because I am submitting a letter to the College Secretary. Kind of a written petition stating the period of leave and reason for LOA. It was approved, thank God! And then they gave me this College Clearance. Much like the clearance thing that we let the faculty, the staff, and the other authorities sign during the elementary and highschool. But it was much different! Iba talaga! This time, it was the chairpersons of the different departments!! over!! We directly went to the CAS because that was where the different departments were. I rushed through floors, halls, and rooms with my mom. Poor her! Bet she was really tired with all those walking. I was tired too! Really tired.

Anyway, after the CAS, went to OSA for the Student Loan Board Clearance. Then to SSWC. From Faura to Pedro Gil the 2nd time. Tiring huh? Anyway, I went through the department in Pharm too. Walked the 4 floors, went through rooms and walked through halls. Bad thing. The Chair of the Department of Pharmacy was absent. Her signature was needed. Gosh! So we went back to the CAS. We officially filed a complaint about the typhoid thing and the unsanitary CAS canteen. I don't want to talk about it. Such a bad thing. We were talking to the admin. I don't want to say anything. I refuse to make statement because they might incriminate me. (Legally speaking!)

The reason for the complaint? We want the admin to be aware of the unsanitary canteen. If you would go there, you would really see that the ***** ***** has an unsanitary way of preparing the food. Mind you, rats even traverse the pipes above the stalls. Eww!! Imagine that they slip and they drop while the cooks there were preparing the food. Talk about extreme chaos!!

Anyway, it was really a long day. And we were extremely tired.

I've got nothing to do here. Since I am on leave, have nothing to do except lie around and have fun. I do have fun everyday. But at this moment I am pretty bored.

Yesterday, I edited my template. Look! Look! I made link buttons for my friends coz they don't have one and I would like to link them. Hope they're not mad. I just hope.

I also added parts like Real-Life Friends and Celebrity Blogs. Ok, bout the celeb blogs. I've been reading them everyday. But only former MYX veejay Ala Paredes has given the permission to link her. It says so in her blog. Check it out! I don't want to post their URLs since they might not like the idea of their being exposed. But if you want to know their URLs i'd be happy to share some of them or you can look for them yourself. I know those of Maxene Magalona and her friends(it's on her links), Paula Peralejo to name some. It's fun reading them but really you wouldn't want to read Maxene's if you're majoring in BA Communications. Gosh! And also if you hate people who are really poor in spelling. You'd just be really frustrated. Paula's okay and she really takes cool pictures. She's also into movies and she reviews them.

Anyway, if you would like me to link you just leave a comment and I'd be happy to put your URL in my blog. It's a plus if you have a link button(coz it's graphic and it's cool to have one!).

So there. Can you give me something else to do?!

Maybe I'd edit the Tropang Pauso blog for a change. I'd think of a cool layout. I would like to put in there the collage I made. Actually it was for the tropang pauso website in geocities. But I'm still not finished working on it. As you see, I was busy. I think I have enough time to finish it till the sembreak ends. I HOPE. If only the other pauso member would give suggestions on what they would want to feature on our website. Diba?

So there. Ciao for now.

Disclaimer: I did not write this. I'm just going to re-post this. I got this from Friendster, I think. It's pretty cool!

1. When a girl says she's sad, but she isn't crying, it means she's crying in her heart. (so you'd better pay close attention to her.)

2. When she ignores you after you've done something wrong, it's best to give her some time to cool down before giving her a hearlfelt apology. (true. You don't have to say sorry the minute you notice she's mad. Give her time to think too.)

3. A girl can't find anything to hate about the guy she loves (which is why it is so hard for her to 'get over him' after the relationship is over.) (I think this is not true. Well, for one there's always something to hate. The girl can't be that blind or lovestruck. Really!)

4. If a girl loves a guy, he will always be on her mind every minute of the day, even though she flirts with other guys. (So.. This means that...)

5. When the guy she likes smiles and stares deep into her eyes, she melts. (Kilig!)

6. A girl likes to hear compliments, but usually is not sure how to react to them. (To tell you guys the truth, not all girls like to hear compliments (I've seen one on "Blind Date".) But still give girls compliments coz it makes her feel that she's important and loved.)

7. When a particular guy flirts with a girl a lot, a girl would start thinking the guy likes her. So if you treat a girl just as a friend, go easy on the smiles and stares 'okie? (That's true you dumb flirt guys! Mga Paasa! :))

8. If you don't like a girl who likes you, break it to her gently. (And don't even think of playing with her heart!)

9. If a girl starts avoiding you after you reject her, leave her alone for a while. If you still want to be friends, talk to her. (Better to give her some time to get over you before talking to her. So that by the time that you do talk to her she'll be ready to look at you in the eye.)

10. Girls enjoy talking about what they feel. Music, poetry, drawings and writing are ways of expressing themselves (which explains why mostgirls like writing journals). (True!)

11. Never tell a girl that she is useless in any way. ('Nuff said.)

12. Being too serious can turn a girl off. (true! That's why some girls like bad guys.)

13. When the guy she likes calls her for the first time, the girl may act uninterested during the call. But as soon as the phone is back on the hook, she will whoop with joy and immediately start calling her friends to spread the news. (*laughs*)

14. A smile means a lot to a girl. (Better show off those pearly whites.)

15. If you like a girl, try making friends with her first. Let her get to know you. (True. Don't be too fast.)

16. If a girl says she can't go out with you because she has to study, leave her alone. (Or if you have problems, she might ask you to talk to her parents. Hala ka!)

17. But if she still calls you or expect a call from you, stay.

18. Don't try to guess a girl's feelings. Ask her. (yup! It's hard to guess what's going on a girl's mind. Trust me! I know..)

19. Hearing the words "I love you" is a great reassurance to a girl that, she is beautiful. (Just say those words if you really mean them.)

20. After a girl falls in love with a guy, she'll wonder why she never noticed him before. (why nga kaya?)

21. If you need tips on how to flirt with a girl, read romance stories.

22. When class pictures come out, a girl would first look at the girl next to her crush before actually looking at herself. (not really.. The girl might actually look at her crush first.)

23. A girl's ex-crush will always be in her memory, but the guy she loves will always stay in her heart. (True! Very true...)

24. Girls love to have fun!

25. A simple 'Hi' can brighten a girl's day.

26. A girl's best friend usually knows best what she is feeling and going through.

27. Girls hate it when a guy pays attention to them just to get close to their 'prettier' friend. (yup! So bug off, USERS!)

28. Love means devotion, caring and happiness to a girl, in that order.

29. Some girls care about looks, some care about brains, but ALL girls
want a guy who will love and care for them....:) (nuff said!)

MTV? No..

I was re-editing this template awhile ago. Got satisfied with the results so I am to blog now. Well, I don't know what came over me, but I feel really tired.

Anyway, yesterday I went to UP and I was hoping that I could finish the paperworks yesterday. Unfortunately, the dean of CP was having a meeting and the people from the "big window" asked me to come back today. Argh. But I wasn't feeling well today so my mom said that I should postpone my affair today and move it tomorrow. Well, okay. At least I had rest and I was able to finish the Adventure of Sherlock Holmes book that I started yesterday. Fast reader huh? :)

So tomorrow I'll be going back there and hopefully finish filing for my LOA. It's been a while and I still haven't finished filing for it. Damn those wreckers. Nah. Just kidding.

Maybe, I could work out the Tropang Pauso website now. It would be on geocities. oh, yes. I could start now. But I really don't know how to do it. I have the basic HTML knowledge. Hmm. I'll think about it and try on it. Right?

It could be good to post our pictures there. Diba?

And info about us.

So there. Come to think of it. I was even asked to try on doing the layout for my HS Yearbook. Hmm. I wouldn't be so work-less during my leave pala. Wonder where to start. :)

So I am really fond of Maxene Magalona. I think she's cute. This I realized when my mother told me while I was browsing Maxene's blog, "Tuwang-tuwa ka talaga kay maxene no?"

Oh well, to tell you the truth you could probably ask questions about her and I may answer you right. Anyway, there's this issue there about her correcting the grammar and spelling of everyone who made a mistake there in her question site. What do you think? Some were really offended by her correcting their grammars. But really, if she goes on correcting other, maybe she should start with herself first. To make no more arguments about it, she should make sure first that she doesn't have any error in her writings. But hey, she does have errors and be the judge by checking out her sites. She's poor in spelling though, that I noticed. But maybe she was just a mere perfectionist. I admit, sometimes I do tend to correct other people when it comes to their grammar and spelling. But I remember the words of a very good English teacher, "It's okay to correct someone's error if you know the person. For example, you can correct the blunders that your family and friends make. It must be okay to them since they should know that you just want them not to commit an error next time. But to commit a stranger's error? No way. The person you corrected just might feel embarrassment and slight disgust. He might think, 'Who are you?'"

But, it would be really up to Maxx if she wants to continue or stop correcting stranger's mistakes.

As I read the celeb blogs, I realized that not all celebrities are what they appear on TV. They really are human. And of course, there are the CRABS, who really want to let those celebs down that they do things just to make those celebs appear bad. Wrong judgment.

And it all comes down to this, celebrity or not, respect must still remain within us.

Yesterday, I saw something bad. It's not a thing. Well, it's a person. Yes, a human being.

The person. Argh. I don't even wanna talk about her. But I just want to share my feelings. I still remember her bitchy attitudes. What a bitch. Anyway, for the avid readers of my blog. You probably know who the person is. But hey. Grr. Stop this insanity.

I am not making sense, am I? So browse back to my previous entries. And oh, I forgot. The entry was marked "Friends Only". Meaning only my Tabulas Friends could read it. Oh.

Early this morning, I went to McDonald's SM Sucat. There was a children's party. Actually only my 2 younger siblings were invited. But of course, I would be their chaperone. Anyway, some yayas there confused me as being one of them. WTF.

And sometime after the party, we were hanging out at the arcade there. Then some really arrogant guy who's really trying to look like Rainier Castillo and the F4 was walking around. Yeah. He really had an arrogant aura. And he was also wearing those colorful body-fit shirts. Talk about being a macho-wanna-be. Anyway, he was playing with my bro who doesn't wanna stop playing those tekken games. "Patrick, let's go na." I said. And when Patrick didn't budge, I left him and went to Freeway. When I came back, the arrogant guy said, "Hi, Monique." WTF. How the hell did he knew my name? Turns out, this brother of mine told him. And guess what, he mistook me for being my bro's yaya. WTF. As I cursed him under my breath, I was thinking why would they mistook me for being a yaya? huhu.. what a sad story. But anyway, that's out of my mind now. Mind you, I am far from being a yaya.

So today, I met David. He's Migz's uncle. He's 24, I think. And, he's cute. He came from Las Vegas and I think he's gonna stay here for a long time. At first, I thought he was just visiting here. But when I heard that he was already renting a place here. OMG. And guess where he lives? He lives next door our shop. OMG. Anyway, a while ago, he asked my help for looking for a hip hop hairstyle for him. But I thought, "Ano pang ipapagupit nito eh ang ikli na ng buhok?" He was nearly bald. And he has this cute tail. Anyway, he found what he was looking for. The hairstyle of Jon B. He's not snobbish because he was really talking to me. And yeah, I kinda got to know him better. Cool.

So Tropang Pauso has a new layout courtesy of Demi. She really has a mind of an HTML genius. The layout was cute and it made the entries more comprehensible. But the tagboard was gone. My oh my. But I guess, that's what Demi wants.

Anyway, Maxene Magalona was really pissed off. Check her blog and really. She's like gonna burst because when she woke up this morning and checked her blog, people were tagging her and saying that she doesn't look pretty in personal and such things that could really make you have a bad mood. And she's threatening to close her blogspot account. I don't know what she's gonna do about her blog but I think it's better if she doesn't mind those insecure people who keep on saying bad things about her. Diba nga, cheap ang pumapatol? Parang si Keanna Reeves ang mga pumapatol sa kanya. Pare-pareho lang silang cheap. But surely, Maxene should think seriously about terminating her blog account. Right?
