medical scare

i just came from a check up today. i thought maybe something was wrong. i have been feeling pain on my left upper abdomen the past few days and thought maybe some organ was inflamed. thankfully, it might be just muscle stress.

sometimes, it takes things like this to make you re-think about priorities. right now my son needs me and i can't take any chances with my health. i have started to brisk walk as a form of exercise. so far i've lost a few pounds, which is good because i am a bit overweight for my height.

so, cheers to a healthier and leaner me!

32 years old

I turned 32 today. I started the day with a mass and then bought breakfast in Flapjacks. Sigh. I've been feeling down the past few weeks mainly because I feel that I have not accomplished anything. Nothing at all. Save for my son, everything else about me is flat. I hate my work, no romance, i hate my body. Ugh!

I take it as a sign that the sermon of the priest in today's mass was about Hope, and during the mass, there was a big butterfly fluttering near where I was seated. Maybe, this is the year I awake and start anew. I really hope it is.
