From An Epic Week to a Bitter Farewell

Last week went by from ultimate fun and ended up with something offensively sad. As everyone knew, I took a week of vacation from my work or quoting the Sunriseshotgun’s term “The Evil Empire” because I had to entertain my relatives (my favorite Japanese cousin) because this might be her last vacation as a single girl. Despite of the language barrier and the distance, Shuri (the Japanese cousin) and I shared wonderful moments together. So when she told me that she will take her last vacation as a single girl here in the Philippines, I immediately file my leave of absence WITHOUT PAY! I know I am broke and I have tons of debts, but she is the only family I have… Do I need to think twice?

The VAKAZYON GRANDE

We savor every minutes of their vacation. We stretch every strength and power we have till we all drop. We ate a LOT, went out and meet other people, I found my first stalking experience and it is sorta freaky (story will come later) and by quoting a cliché, WE PAINTED THE TOWN RED!

On their last day, about 20 hours before their departure, all of our energy was used up and I am down with fever and flu. But like what I have said, it was all worth it. So instead of doing the last minute shopping which is the original plan, my cousin and I decided to stay home and rest. I on the other hand continued with my stalking agenda. Our parents did the last minute shopping and packing. Then of course, it was time to say goodbye.

Back to my Meds

Before I start blabbing about this topic let me refresh your memory. A year ago, I was diagnosed with first stage of diabetes, meaning my sugar level was too high and I am .1 away from being a diabetic. So my Endoc prescribed tons of medications to control my sugar level and to make me lose weight. I took the medicine for awhile but because of my superficial belief of self destruction I stopped. It was a bad move. Maybe I was so fucked up at that time and now everything is taking a toll on me. We (my cousin and I, we included this in our vacation agenda last week) visited a dermatologist because we are so vain. We tried everything we wanted on the menu including the lipo slim. A lipo slim ladies and gentlemen is a non surgical liposuction procedure. It has this handy laser thingy that melts your fat away just by rubbing on the affected area. I swear I lose 3 cm. in just 15 minutes but eventually gained it back because we ate at Chili’s after. LOLZ! Thank God Dra. Foronda gave this for free because if not, there goes my 5k away…

Going back… Dra. Foronda suggested procedures and solutions to help me lose weight without undergoing the knife. After tracking my medical records, BOOM! My past high blood sugar level issue was brought up. So to cut the story short, I am back in my meds, back to the basic food diet, back to my perpetual nausea, loose bowel movement and vomiting… in short, back to being a lame ass walking drugstore.

The Departure PART TWO

Being in the Evil Empire for more than two years is actually a record breaking. Despite of the fucked up environment that we have here, I still managed to cope up and stay sane because I still have some people around me trying our best to ignore and just survive. However, a year ago, the crimsonabstract gave up and I was left alone in this God forsaken jungle. The moment he handed the resignation letter, I was an inch close to sending mine. But I want to prove something. I wanted to show the world that I can handle my own shit alone and I can survive. But I struggled. And so I FORCED and BEGGED the sunriseshotgun to apply and share the misery with me. I know that move was too selfish but I managed to convince him. After almost six months of him working in the Evil Empire, everything gets way evil, growing fangs and blowing flames every day. Misery couldn’t even catch up with what we are having and the desolation came twice harder for my friend. So he also quit.

Today is his last day and I on the other hand will be left alone, again. I know how he tried to stay but things are really not good and I don’t want to be selfish anymore. Kaya Dude, Salamat ng Marami!

Quoting Barney Stinson "When I am feeling sad... I stop being sad and be AWESOME instead..." All shit will end someday and will be high fiving and spreading are awesomeness for all eternity.
