CT scan

I have never had a CT scan nor would I really want to but today is the today to overcome that hurdle.

I woke up early this morning to drink the contrast given by st. Lukes. The first gulp I had to drink at 6AM and the second one at 7PM.

By 2PM, I was at St. Lukes processing my papers, at 6PM I was inside the CT scan room. I was asked to changed into the hospital gown with only my underwear underneath. The room was super cold it gave me goosebumps as soon as I left the room. I was asked to lie still in the metal bed and was given a blanket to cover my body. They asked me to raise my arms over my head and lie still once again.

I thought during the whole time that I was being scanned but one of the nurses told me that I was being scanned as the bed is going out. The rest of the time they were adjusting the bed. HAHAHA so much for the cramps I felt trying to not move.

When they scanned the whole abdomen, they proceeded to give me the final contrast via injection. The pain I felt as they injected the needle was like the normal injection. Hurts a bit, but not for long. Then I was told not to swallow so that I will not taste the contrast. How come it is so hard to not do something you're not allowed to do? The initial wave of the contrast felt like cold rush of ice water down my veins but after, it spread warmth at an intense speed.

Finally, it was all over.

So the results will be released tomorrow so we'll see what happens next

KRIS KRINGLE: Something Big

I never thought it would be hard to find something BIG for Php 100 pesos ($2) I short listed the following for my fashionable friend: ...a big box of tissue (useful) ...a big toblerone (but this is WAY over budget) ...a big trash bin ...a case of big oatmeal cookies (last resort) ...a big mirror ...a big bookmark (which i couldn't find anywhere) ...a BIG beer (unrelated) ...a big organizer it's quite difficult really. But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

Around Manila: Exploring the streets of J.P. Rizal in Marikina

It is funny how we know the history and culture of a land we do not live in yet know so little about where we live. Thus, began our mission to explore Manila, one city at a time. DESTINATION: Marikina Starting Time: 11am End Time: 5pm How to get to J.P. Rizal in Marikina - Waze (app) and Google Maps Marikeno (native people in Marikina) are said to be the most disciplined people in the Philippines. If the cleanliness around Marikina were a testament to that, Marikenos would pass with flying colors. The streets I could say were similar to those in Singapore - free from litter and we saw people from households cleaning their own front area even if it were facing a street. SHOE CAPITAL of the Philippines Marikina produces 70% of the shoes in the country. and holds the World's Largest Pair of Shoes, recognized by the Guinness World Records. In Marikina, you can find the Shoe Museum which houses 800 out of the 3000 shoes that were part of the famous shoe collection of the
