doc finally lowered the med dosage to 2x a week. what a relief. on the flipside, i have gained weight steadily since last december. eep! even before the check up i could already feel my jeans becoming snug once again. double eep! my only comfort is that my present weight is the same as from my flying days but still.
i think i want to blame exhaustion for my ravenous appetite these past few weeks. travelling to and from makati is no laughing matter to this old timer. gone are the days when travel time from let's say greenhills to makati med while riding the love bus only ranged from 20-30 minutes. and that's just by taking public transportation. going there by car took less.
at any rate, am still grateful that hyperthyroidism is going to be a thing of the past really soon.
================
reading: still a daughter's choice. haven't gotten much reading this past week.
writing: this and still that fanfiction that i've gotten nowhere with. hoping to finish it. when that would be i have no idea. i guess by now it's obvious i haven't had any downtime except for sleep, glorious sleep. and a little bit of arnis.
listening to: lucky by kat edmonson. this song holds a special place in my heart as it reminds me of my flying days, horrible and heavenly ones alike. so love the stanza that goes,
so cast your troubles into the sky
they can be the stars in our eyes
and we can count them all another day
from far away.
thinking: about the future. naks.
smelling: nothing
wishing: everything will fall into place.
wearing: glasses, striped green, brown, blue and white shirt, and... navy blue shorts. no cycling shorts this time lol!
loving: nothing materially speaking.
wanting: to try out the newly-opened 1919 grand cafe in the old hsbc building in binondo. my nerdy heart is giddy at this because a lot of changes had happened since my first bindondo traipses. ten years ago, i was in that area for my birthday to explore the old, practically abandoned building beside it called el hogar filipino. both buildings looked decrepit then and then through the years that followed they looked the same whenever i visited that little strip of juan luna street. not too long ago el hogar was in danger of demolition but fortunately it was stopped. i have no other updates regarding its restoration or God forbid its eventual demolition. i await with bated breath on that. meanwhile, after passing through the area a couple of weeks before, i was pleasantly surprised at the big change that the old hsbc building underwent. it has been restored beautifully and now its first establishment, the 1919 grand cafe, had opened its doors november of last year. i took a photo of the door back in 2009 and when i visit the place again soon, another photo of it will definitely be taken. and that's the only 10-year challenge i care about. ohh fun fact. the old hsbc building was used as backdrop for sitti's music video para sa akin. heehee.
needing: ten hours of uninterrupted, restful sleep every day.
feeling: quite rested after a three-day weekend.
thanks to siddathornton for this great idea.
