saturday night - i went home from the office, changed into my beloved blue mickey mouse night shirt and started filling up a credit card application. a little later, my left eye started getting itchy. it must have been the chicken i had for lunch. i gave in to the temptation and gave it a good rub.
around an hour later, i noticed that my left eye was feeling weird. i took a look in the mirror and saw that a part of it had swelled abominably, to the point that it was a bit hard to close my eyelid. so that was where the weird feeling came from! i showed it to my mom, who told my dad to take me to take me to the nearest hospital. so there we were, driving to the shockingly orange (yes, orange) building that housed the las pinas city medical center at half past 11, while a very fine drizzle was falling.
the doctor who attended to me diagnosed it as an allergic reaction to dust, or some other small particle. he forbade me to wear contacts and put on eye makeup until the swelling subsides, which will take 2-3 days (true enough, my eye is still a bit red). he also gave me eye drops and antihistamine tablets. all i could say is, thank God for our maxicare coverage and medical reimbursement benefit.
sadly, doc also forbade me from eating all of the food that i'm allergic to. not an easy feat, considering that my allergens are chocolate, chicken, cheese, eggs, nuts, crab and shrimp. manigas siya! i won't let myself suffer that way. hehe... ;)

ako rin allergic to crab and shrimp.. okay lang, i dont really like them! hehe :)
ako rin allergic to crab and shrimp..and most other seafood. pati pala patis at bagoong. but i can still remember how they taste and smell like. na-develop ko lang ang allergies na yan nung high-school ako.
when i feel bad that i can't eat seafood, naaalala ko si grace, and then i feel lucky. :D
take care, grace. :)
my officemate is also allergic to both crab and shrimp. what's with these shelled creatures??
chi,
ewan ko ba, siguro dahil malansa ang seafoods kaya maraming allergic dun.
chris,
"when i feel bad that i can't eat seafood, naaalala ko si grace, and then i feel lucky. :D " - ganun? ang sama mo! hehe... :)
isang bagay yung allergy ang isang tao sa seafoods...
at ibang bagay yung allergy din siya pati sa chocolates, hehehe... ;)

musta ka na? ... ako sobrang busy sa work lately (dami ng late, pero sobrang late na din kasi ng uwi ko kaya napapasarap tulog) - ganito pala feeling ng HR sa mas malaking company...
pero feeling ko, kahit mas pagod ako dito, mas stressed ako dati...
oo nga badz, allergic ka rin sa seafoods, di ba?
pero hassle talaga yung akin. pati chocolates ba naman!
well, i'm doing okay considering everything that's been going on. medyo mas maaga na kong umuuwi. for a change, hindi ako pumasok ngayong saturday. hehe... :)
that's good :)

may kwento dapat ako tungkol sa oras ng pag-uwi, pero hindi ko na tinuloy, naalala ko na hindi ako magpopost ng kahit anong may details tungkol sa work (baka kasi kung sino pa makabasa), hehe... basta pag nagkita tayo kwento ko... ;)
ay naku, medyo ganun din ako. did you notice that the name of the company that i work for does not appear in my whole blog? hehe... ;)
hehe, yup... :)
ako din hindi ko binabanggit... sakin kasi nakaregister yung domain, kaya madaling malaman kung sino may ari nung blog, hehe... kaya doble yung pagiingat ;)
