It was a scorching Saturday afternoon and the hubby asked me to go with him at SM Marikina to purchase some things at the ACE Hardware. I said yes since he obliged to go to the wet and dry market prior to heading to the mall. It was rather unplanned. After almost three years of not watching anything in movie theaters, I all of a sudden thought of watching a movie to de-stress. We became so accustomed to downloading movies and watching right at the comfort of our own home in order to make good use of what we pay for our DSL, that we’ve totally abandoned our love for watching movies in the malls. On top of that we don’t have to put up with other movie goers who has a habit of talking out loud amongst themselves when watching a movie. But like what I said, last Saturday was different. I feel so stressed out in the office that I begged my husband to treat me to the movies.

We don’t have time to actually watch tv at home that I don’t know anything about the movies that are shown then. The most that I could do is to look at the movie posters and hope I get a good clue on whether it’s worth watching or not. So I chose one that my husband will get to enjoy too. He was rather surprised when I said I want to watch it because he was probably thinking I’d pick either The Proposal or The Time Traveller’s Wife. But remember I said I wanted to de-stress, and remembering those 2 people in the office that I so would like to blot out from the surface of the earth then and still now, I felt that watching the Joes take on their opponents will at least give me satisfaction, thinking that the cobras were Aling Mila and Nanette. Oh God sorry. I’m being mean.

So we went in early, so we could watch the trailers of upcoming movies. After several trailers, the movie finally started with a flashback. Ooops let me leave it at that, I don’t want to put spoilers in my blog for those of you who haven’t watched it yet, just in case there’s still some of you who haven’t. Anyway, after the flashback came the demonstration of what the Nanotechnology is all about and on to the signed business deal. After which came the fight scenes right away which kept me glued in to watching the story.

The Joes

The Joes rescued the 2 soldiers who survived the encounter with then “unknown enemies” during their attempt to recover the war heads.

The effects and the fight scenes are very impressive, considering the idea of having a gigantic safe house, base, factory, laboratory all rolled into one, in the arctic is rather futuristic and fascinating at the same time. Although with the advancement of technology, it is something that you cannot fully say far fetched.

Scarlet and the black actor (pardon me for being too lazy to google his name) make a pretty good couple in the movie. Scarlet is actually smoking hot and I’m sure a lot of guys out there would definitely agree. Over all, I would say it is a good movie, despite the rumors that the story has been changed. Nonetheless, I like the movie over all, it was a worth the money we paid for it and we will surely troop to the theater again if there will be a sequel to it!

Rest days or time away from work is too precious, that it seems to almost slip by unnoticed. I guess that has to account for the fact that I no longer enjoy what I’m doing and I definitely am not denying that. I would have drafted, printed and turned over my resignation letter in a heartbeat, had my husband stayed with the big C. I guess it’s his turn to rest now. In the mean time I’ll have to drag myself each and every working day to go to the office and put up with someone who has an alternate reality. I am tempted to go on in detailing the animosity and mental wellness of the said persona but I decided not to. Not because I fear that the said imp will find out of this entry, but simply because I paid precious money for this domain and hosting package, and I don’t believe such a lowly creature deserves much more space.

Good night people!

Last Tuesday I brought along some clothes with me so I can sleep in the office instead of going back home since I do have a lot of things to do anyway. After finishing the tasks I have outlined for the day, I went ahead and got my back went down to the 2nd floor and took a shower in the shower room. Immediately after dressing and brushing my teeth, off I went to check out the sleep room in the third floor. No luck, already full despite the fact that it’s only 4pm. So I went up to the fourth floor instead and found a spot there. I could feel my headache going a notch higher already. Now the spot I found is right in the middle of 2 other girls. Unfortunately, both of them are snoring so all my attempts to sleep were apparently futile. It was already past 5pm when I finally decided to just go home. I rang my husband to check if he’s already on his way to the office and if he could find a way to pick me up and drive me home. He told me that he will get stuck in traffic and he wont make it in time for his 9pm shift. So we agreed that I’ll just take a cab.

Before going down to leave, I went back to the 3rd floor to go to the clinic. Sad thing is, they don’t have a medicine to give me to alleviate the pain. I have way too many allergies. I’m allergic to paracetamol, ibuprafen and mefanamic acid. Beat that! Anyway, I told the nurse on duty that half my head felt numb with tension pain and I actually feel nauseous.  I was told that if the pain will escalate I will just have to go to the hospital.

I have no intentions of following that since I have a high pain tolerance. That is proven by the fact that I have never been hospitalized my entire life, except of course at the time when I gave birth. So when I got out of the office, I prayed that I get a cab right away. God is indeed good, I hailed a cab once and the cabbie obliged. I told him that I’m going home somewhere in the east. Traffic was horrendous actually, and in between napping, sending SMS and talking to my husband on the phone, I get to check where we are already. Right when we were already past Green Valley Country Club, I felt the pain getting worse. I guess the traffic exacerbated things. Right then and there, I called hubby and told him that I will just ask the cabbie to bring me to the Medical City’s emergency room.

When I got there, hubby was already there. The nurses and doctors were all polite and I was given immediate attention. I was later on asked to lie down on a bed and was asked to gulp several medicines. I was napping in between talking to my husband and the doctors. Good thing that it’s not anything related to the brain as per the neurologist, was just diagnosed with vascular headache. I was prescribed a number of medicines and later on I was happy to be sent home. Drugged and happy, doesn’t sound right eh? We got home almost 10pm and as an evidence that I’m too drugged, I woke up at 10am the following morning, I ate, slept again and then I woke up at 2am the next morning. How’s that for a rest? hehe

Oh well, I’m just really grateful that that was the only thing. I’m praying that it’ll be the last time I get to go to a hospital’s emergency room.
