My only problem with it was that they didn't know...

BBDO Guerrero didn't know, DOT sec didn't know it, the whole government didn't know it... this despite having IPAD and can access the internet anywhere... they didn't know that Switzerland used the same slogan in the 50's... we pay good money for this people...!

Otherwise... and that even with this kapalpakan... I full support, find it brilliant, and believe, that indeed "it's more fun in the Philippines"

What is so brilliant about it, is that it is involved us, the people... it is actually not about the sites, it is actually about us the people and our warm smile... Tayo na yung binebenta and gagawin natin lahat para makabenta... thus, nagtrend sa twitter ng ilang araw!!!


Earliest alarm goes off at 6 a.m., TB meds... mainly because it was advised, as before, that to take the TB meds with empty stomach... after I take the meds, I try to go back to bed and the second alarm goes off at 8a.m., ARV... Zido/lami... I also take Vit B for hopefully my neuropathy... after which, I try to grab breakfast... usually, milk and banana lang... or, kasi I love yung lucky me pancit canton... so yun, papaluto ako... 


9 am, maliligo ako... depende sa weather, kung medyo maulan... nakakahiya man aminin, pero may days na di ako maliligo... well, nasa bahay lang naman ako, nakahiga most of the time... I also try to work out... low intensity lang muna... una kasi I can't stand for long period of time... yung 8lb na 2 dumbells lang muna buhat ko...


Lunch at 11... after computer sandali, then siesta na ng bandang 1 o 2... gising ako 4 or 5... gugutom na ko niyan... papabili ako mirienda... kung ano lang, sandwhich, madalas... 


then by 6 or 7, kain na ng dinner...


3rd alarm goes off at 8, arv: zido/lami, and efav, plus cotri...


Computer sandali, usually pag kainom efav, aantokin na ko eh, at kung di ko itulog, lasing labas ko...


I pray... iba iba... nung una, mainly because yung family is Marian and I am from Pangsinan... sa Virgin Mary, particularly, Our Lady Of Manaoag... I also find praying to The Mother of Perpetual Help... well... really helpful before... then kasi fiesta ng Nazareno... I was praying to Him...


I am praying that He would heal me already of my TB, my neuropathy, and any infection I may not know of yet... I try to explain that I am not hoping I'll get cured of HIV, that would be too much to ask for someone like me... pero sana yung TB ko and yung sakit ng paa ko, gumaling na...

I am not a Regine fan...

but, I love this song... with Jackie Cheung... ultimo yung video, gandang ganda ako...

ito naman, first mangha na video... nung lumbas ito elementary pa yata ako... can't forget this song...

ito theme song ko... ganda ng video... ang galing... I love REM!!! and don't you sense the gay innuendo...?

i love this song, specially pag live siya, kasi ramdam mo yung sakit eh... grabe... pero wala kasi ako mahanap na magandang live so yung official video na lang...

Ewan, this song... it just sips on you... classic... plus grabe, yung movie, Ghost, tuwing pinapatugtug, nakakatindig balahibo...

kasi ganito dapat, kasi no matter how much you hurt me, the fact that I was hurt by you, means I still love you... sorry won't do anything, hurt na ko, but I still love you... so just shut up and hold me... comfort me... 

p.s. Tracy Chapman version, not boyzone, yuck!

This Aerosmith's signature song in my opinion... at di ko kinaya tong kantang 'to... grabe... kahit yung version ni Regine na tumitili siya toward the end... I like...

don't tell me di tumidig ang balahibo niyo dito... Jennifer Hudson deserve that Oscar...

If moulin Rouge is mentioned, aside from Nicole Kidman singing, really? what most people remember is the elephant medley... but for me it's this song...

don't tell me you don't love this song... memorized ko yan... pero mas gusto ko yung old version, wala ako mahanap eh...

Next time na lang ulit... 

kumain ako sa burgoo...

Yes, first time... ewan ko kung bakit... basta never before... mahilig naman ako before kumain sa labas... well, kasi ako mas gusto ko filipino yung food eh... tipong pang Dencios lang ako... di ako mahilig sa mga ganyang sosyaling restaurant na ubod ng mahal... yung kinain ko spaghetti 200 plus na... grabe... okay naman... nabusog naman ako... nasarapan ako... last meal ko 7 am nung breakfast ako, nakarating ako Cubao from RITM, pass 2 na... 

Dapat nga nung Tuesday pa ko pumunta ng RITM... pero sumakit ng sobra yung paa ko... so yun... Wednesday, ganun din, kahit naman ngayon... masakit pa rin, mas masakit than usual, pero kasi uminom ako ng gabapentin... I was reading more about gabapentin... as of my reading at least 900mg a day siya to be effective, eh nung nireseta sa akin before 300 mg lang everyday... so feeling ko, kaya siguro di siya naging as effective before... although it did reduce the pain a little... eh yung mga nababasa ko, with at least 900mg of gabapentin a day, nawawala daw talaga yung sakit...

Ang taka me, although as per my research, Neuropathy affect 1/3 of PLHIV, di familiar ang mga tao sa ARG about it... so talagang nagiisip ako na kumuha ng infectious disease specialist na may extensive experience with treating neuropathic pain sana... ayoko sa neurologist kasi mahihirapan din siyang intindihin yung pagiging HIV positive ko...

I was at RITM mainly because of my TB... nagpositive ulit kasi sputum ko last 23rd of December... so yun, I am back on TB meds na uber sa toxic... and kailangan ko ng refill... but I was at ARG kasi andun mga files ko, yung result nung sputum test at xray ko last december, dun finorward... plus I also need refill of my prophylaxis, cotrimazol... libre kasi pag dun... now may nakasabay ako... luko, 2 weeks na siyang walang arv... naubusan siya at di siya nakapagrefill kasi busy daw siya... sa work... di ko napigil talaga sarile ko na sabihan siya ng, "dude, health comes first..." Di ba, two weeks... hay naku... pinagalitan tuloy siya... kahit ako naaburido sa kanya eh... gusto ko siyang batukan...

So when I was done with ARG, I went na to DOTS... andun pa si mataray na nurse, pero may kasama na siya... cutie... siya yata maghahandle ng TB patient na pos... and he is nice... bait... hehehehehehehehe... pero may concern ako, ako kasi nagdala ng photocopy nung mga results from ARG to DOTS, result ng xray and sputum test ko... sputum was negative, pero yung xray nga may enlargment daw... pero kasi si nurse na mataray pa rin nagassist sa akin, tumulong lang siya and observe, bago nga kasi siya... kaya ayun, I was not able to ask about it... at feeling ko di niya rin naiintindihan yun...

I was given a month supply of TB meds... be back Feb 6...

BTW, I gained 4 kg... nung December 23, I was 50 kg... I am now 54kg...

I was to go to RITM today...

I'm to go back to DOTS, another round of sputum test... and I think refill of my TB meds... 

I was to go but then my feet hurts like never before... I can't even stand... it was so painful, it made me tear up... I don't know what happened, it have been two weeks since I was off Stavudine... I take Vitamin B supplement... but here I am... I am not expecting abruptly the pain will disappear... gone... but I thought it would gradually be better... but this is far worst... like really...

So stayed... hoping, again, that things will get better and tomorrow, it would be bearable to walk and I would be able to go to RITM...

Di pa ako work out... supposedly, nakalagay pa sa notebook ko con planner na work out ako kahapon, kasi today be at RITM and bukas ulit na ko work out... may get together sa 14 daw ang twit friends... birthday nung isa... and hoping I would be bigger sana in that short period of time... well, nakakaya naman before... before I got sick, I am banking na ganun pa rin kabilis magresponse katawan ko sa work out...

Pero syempre ni di pa ako nagstart work out... hay naku...

single bell, single bell, single all the way...

Picked that up from the priest who celebrated the mass... he called it carol for us still single... I thought it was funny... corny... but funny...

First Sunday... I thought I should go back to that habit... despite everything... so there I was... my brother didn't want to come, he said he have an upset stomach... not really buying it but not about to impose my religion to him... and I was hoping he was to feel guilty to let me go alone... but then he didn't, after all he knew I can go all the way to RITM alone...


Homily was about the end of the world prediction... I thought he would say something very profound... but then it led to what is going on is that we are abusing our planet and not taking care of it... not bad really... the Sendong Tragedy and all this flash floods, I think even Ondoy, was because of our deluded mountains... my brother and I were discussing it... because I really don't think typhoons are getting stronger, they have always been strong, problem was... before, typhoons develop in the Pacific and becomes really strong, but when they hit land fall, this typhoons get shattered by the mountain ranges that creates Cagayan Valley--Sierra Madre, Caraballo and Cordillera which before are think forest... weakening them... but since this mountain ranges have already been deluded, no longer can it hinder this typhoons and their strength...


Our Country, the Philippines, is one of the countries sitting in the ring of fire... and that we are prone to earthquakes... the last major earthquake we had was the 1990 killer quake... I remember that, I am from Pangasinan...  it have been 21 years... long due, don't you think...? Hoepfully not... but if a big earthquake hits Japan, or our country, it is just a cycle we are in... it is not because the world is ending, it is just the norm... if a strong typhoon hits the country, that is okay, it is the norm... what wouldn't be normal is if there would be no typhoon...


And what now if indeed the world was coming to an end on 2012...? if it is so, we can not do anything about it but make the most of what time left we have, don't you think...? at least, we know... that if by chance, the Mayan Prophecy is true, we can prepare ourselves... 


I won't say I'm ready... no one can be ready, that ready... but hey, I say bring it on...




Anyhow, I have been flirting with someone... one of the guys from twitter... I think he was interested with me... to which of me, I don't know, not really figuring it out, just I thought, I flirt with him... and I think there was something--assumera much!!! and well, I was enjoying myself... I was having fun... but then, last night, he asked, if I were working... to which I am not and told him so... so I guess that was that... hmmmmmmm... well, it was fun while it lasted...
