headache...

I have a nagging headache for the past days, its symptoms are that of a cluster headache but I have some episodes of a tension headache and that of a migraine.  I tried to fix my glasses when I wear them, trying to reposition it in a way that will give me a clear visual of what I am reading.

Darn!  I think I needed to change my glasses or I have a migraine now???  But Excedrin Migraine did not even help.

08:15 pm yesterday, after working by myself in the Urgent Care, I felt my head was light and the headache was not there.  I sat in my car for a little while, trying to listen to the stillness of the night in the parking lot... waiting for that throbbing pain in my head.

Nada!

No tension at all.  It was all quiet up there, in my head.  I can't even hear the noise of my car engine... Hmm...maybe the view from my nook calmed my head?

Ahh!  After all, that nagging headache I was carrying for days was just stress!  My head was still light while cruising the busy, narrow streets of Whittier,  I didn't mind going in circles following my schizophrenic GPS Samantha.

Back in the Kingdom now... sorting my thoughts, without the headache!

Sunday's child...

I may not have a fair face, but I am a Sunday child.  Forty-something years ago, on a wee hours of a Sunday, my mother had a 10-pounder.  I was born from an unfortunate situation of my parents who were in dire need to uproot themselves from the very place they called home since their childhood. Most of my siblings were born and grew up in the same hometown.  So growing up in a very different environ caused havoc to some of my older siblings --- who are unable to see the tin line between leaving and living.  On the other hand, I did not realize the difference between us and them (my older siblings) even they kept teasing me and the other two younger siblings "Moros".  I remembered how I was schooled by my older siblings about the sun, the moon, the stars...and why the sky is way up high.  I've learned how greed can cause you hunger and misery from the story of the monkey and the turtle .  I even learned the eye-flipping story of the pin...

heads or tails...

What's the best part of a fish to chomp on? The head.  Especially when its sinigang or tinola (cooked in soup base) or even grilled. Filipinos has a funny gusto of eating fish, we are used to cooking and serving a whole fish -- with all its head, tail, bones, and skin on!  Which, I know most people in California would gape at a sight of it--- a whole fish! Gawk. Ande cooked dinner yesterday.  She called me saying  "saan ka na" (where are you now?) at 645pm, while I was cruising or actually sitting in the traffic of SR-55 and I-5N.  She said she cooked dinner.  Yes, that's how lucky I am!  I have a rent-free place and a dinner to look forward to. As expected, the one in my soup bowl was a milkfish head... and so in Ande's bowl.  I went back to the kitchen for seconds and found the same heads and some tails of the milkfish in the pot.  Went back to the table, grabbed my eye glasses again as milkfish are really, really bony! ...

Refreshing...

While June was sitting in the lobby, I noticed her face is differently-colored.  Her aura is as translucent as the light bulb behind her.  Well, the monitor of the lobby camera is hidden in my station--- I see everyone and anybody who sets foot in the Kingdom.  Two months ago, there were two bull-necked belligerent guys in my lobby as early as 5AM...I called the cops on them. When June was in the treatment area, I called her attention and told her how refreshing it is to see her smile like she's still playing with her bubble bath--- frothy and fizzy! "Oh yes!  I was in the tub with the running water for 30 minutes!" she replied. Her CVC was removed recently... after one long year!  She said when she was in the hospital for the removal procedure,  she told the Surgeon "it's about time, it's been a year". She was not mad, in fact she was happy, in her mind--- "finally I can take a long shower". So June, tell me, what wi...
