Was browsing along my friend Erika's blog and found this interesting link... and thought of trying it out..

Checking out if my name really fits my character...

Will be having my thyroid ultrasound and FTH THS test tomrw (which means im going to call on leave at work.. or better yet.. file an advance leave notice).

Thanks to Cleng... I really owe you ONE BIG TIME for this.

Im hoping and praying everything would be fine... that this is just "nothing"...

still im afraid...

God help me...

Just had our APE (annual physical exam) this morning at Grepalife Medical Clinic in Makati. Bianca, Minnie and I met at McDonalds Buendia so we could have the check-up together. I was actually on my normal self and I am really feeling okay earlier. Not until I was checked by the IM (Internal Medicine) Doctor...

She checked my pulse rate, my heart rate, my breast, and finally, she checked my thryroid glands. Found out I have this thyroid nodule. What the hell is thyroid nodule??? She told me its like a mass formed along my thyroid gland which should be treated immediately. This gland, according to her controls most of the hormonal system of the body. Well ok, I failed to comprehend with most of the things she said for it was so complicated... sort of medical terms. But one thing i needed to do is for sure: get a thryroid ultrasound and an FTH TSH test, a blood test or something. And since I, or my family has a cancer history, I really have to attend on this thing ASAP!

But I am afraid... as in AFRAID.. first of the injection (yep! I am! even on the CBC test earlier.. the nurse had a hard time to inject the needle on me) and secondly.. o whatever the result may be... I am afraid I might end up suffering the same thing my mom and tita suffered...

Then thoughts came in.. I still have lots of things on my mind that I wanted to do...

Cleng, my nurse besty told me I really have to undergo the ultrasound ASAP. The earlier, the better daw. She stold me there's nothing to worry about... Then I told her.. "mamamatay na ba ako?" And she said, "papatayin kita pag namatay ka!"

But seiously, takot talaga ako... i know I shouldn't be but there's something that's holding me back....

------------------------

Bausch and Lomb is conducting this study for their new brand of contact lens and fortunately, I was one of the subjects...

As part of the study, they are giving me two pairs of contact lenses which I am going to wear for two weeks each. And then I would evaluate which among the pair is more comfortable and suitable for me. I started the study last Saturday...

I was at Asian Eye Institute. They gave me eye refraction and checkup. Then gave me the first pair of lenses (with Renu Solution and Rewetting Drops) which I am going to wear for the next two weeks. They also gave me this diary which I have to fill up every end of the day during the study period.

Another good thing is that since the study is being paid by Bausch and Lomb, I do also receive a pay as part of it. Don't ask how much but I guess it's worth the participation. Not to mention the 3 month supply of contact lens (whatever its is that is suitable for me) and accesories... and yeah.. the free mothly eye check-up...

Not bad after all....

----------------------------

But, still thinking about my thyroid gland....

I am really AFRAID....

guess where i am?

yadah!

im trying out fitness branch here in RSC.. somewhere here along Ayala Ave...

and im doing these for a change...

hmmm.. yeah to get the feeling of how would it be outside wynsum

its great to have an internet access here.. really... (sa wynsum kase wala)

ok.. since i started comparing out... sasagad sagarin ko na...

First, iba ang crowd dito.. i dunno.. maybe because its a weekend and there's not much people here... (sad wala akong naspot na interesting creaure) hahahaha!

Sa locker room mas ok dito.. there's more shower cubicle and mas comfy ang arrangement ng lockers...

Pero mas maluwag ang workout area at Wynsum... I feel more at ease using the equipments there.. and i guess there's more equipment in here..

Oh.. here's one great thing here: the CINEFIT... a kinda cinema room where you got to watch a movie on big screen (earlier it was The First Daughter) while working out.. specially my favorite stepper is included inside...

Of course, this internet access is a plus... sana may ganito rin sa Wynsym.. (I wonder if I could suggest it to the management)

Given fact: mas malapit for me during weekeneds... well actually both naman... coz wynsum is just beside the ofc.

And ang pinaka nafeel kong difference? haha! walang mga instructors na nangiintriga! I feel more private here... doon kase almost every FIs are looking at me na as if im having the "great time of my life".. at least dito wala akong issue (kung meron man akong "issue" duon)

... and yeah... dito walang... Marlo. (pero ayan.. I was just about to write about him not being here and he just called... asking how is it working out here... haaayyy lifeee!!!). Kaya nga nagtry ako dito para wala sya e... jusme!!!! Pero sige na nga.. I did miss him... in a way...

Will have another workout tomrw... just dont know yet where... but wherever, I hope things would get in fine...

time for a new look...

I dont know.. I just thought of giving this stuff a new and different element this time...

Well.. im happy though.... still have lot of stuffs to update... still have lot of links to made... and more changes to come...

any comments and suggestions are welcome..

especially from you two girls, ANNE and BESTY NIK...

OK.. so ano mararamdaman mo pag alam mong may mid-year bonus ka? Syempre excited ka di ba? The list goes on for stuffs you really wanted that finally, may chance kang makuha...and then everyone was expeceting.. plans of out-of-town travel, paying debts, extra cash, and more on the list...

pero on the day ur expecting it, suddenly you'll learn na wala ka palang ineexpect... that everything was just a hear-say... and then makikita mo lahat ng kasama mo sa ofc, mukang gumuho ang lahat ng pangarap... nakakadisappoint di ba?

though of course, it's just a bonus... it still depends on the management... kaso nga lang you can't help but feel sad and down lalo na super excited ka...

i was hoping I could save someone pa naman... I was hoping I could be someone else's savior.. pero mukang ako rin yata kelangan ko ng savior ngayon...

windang ako ngayon.. so i dont know what will happen later.... bahala na si Batman!
