Different Possibilities

2 days ago, i suddenly experienced a severe stomach ache and was taken to our local clinic. A drug was injected on me and i think it was "Buscopan", the doctor said that it would help alleviate the aches that I am feeling at that time. The pain became tolerable for only 5 mins and then it went back again in full. I was at a loss on what to do, because the pain was too extreme for me (enough to make me pass out).

After a while, my family thought it best that i was taken to the hospital. On the way to the hospital my stomach ache gradually lessened for it to become tolerable. I was thankful because i didn't know how i would have remained conscious if that didn't happen. The doctors took turns in checking and feeling my stomach. I was referred to different specialists and was even shocked when the doctors from "Surgery" came in. They asked me a few questions and i answered them all to the best of my ability. One of the questions that made an impact on me is the rating of the pain. If i remember correctly the doctor asked me to rate it from 1-10 and 10 being the highest. The answer was easy, it was 10.

Like i said, i had never felt that kind of stomach pain before. It was like my stomach is going to burst like a balloon. It was very different from the time that i had my "Amoebiasis" so i knew that this and that was different. With Amoebiasis you puke and poop and all your liquids just tend to get out of your body. Well, not that i want to experience something like that again but knowing the difference can help you get a clearer picture of what is happening to you.

After much deliberation the doctor told me that i might get admitted because the result of my blood tests, has shown that i have some kind of blood infection. They were not able to pinpoint what is causing the infection because their questions and my answers don't match up. I think that they have a hunch on what kind of problem i am facing but my symptoms and current state doesn't add up at all.

Seriously, i felt that the real problem was "Hyper acidity" because for the past few days my stomach felt sour. It was as if there was an acid build up and all it was waiting was the right moment to trigger. Now that i have finally settled down and tried to think of other "ailments" that might be responsible for what i am feeling right now, I came up with another problematic disease and that is "Dengue". I disease that has killed many people and are transmitted by mosquitoes. I can finally understand why the doctors are puzzled because I didn't have any fevers prior to my stomach ache. Ironically, After i went back from the hospital i felt feverish. Even now as i am writing this post, i feel dizzy.

It might be feeling this way because i am thinking too much, but then again I can't rule out that possibility. I will monitor myself for one more day and if my symptoms still persists, i think i need to visit the doctors once again. Seriously, one can never be too prepared when something unexpected happens.

Be safe and till next time ...

Travel Lightly...

Whenever we travel, we often worry about whether it will take us a long time to arrive at our destination. Sometimes we get there early, Sometimes we get there on time and sometimes we often get there late. When we arrive late, we usually have a reason why it happened. More often that not, our excuse are just Lies made  for our own convenience.

There are a lot of things that i need to change in my self and some of them are commitment, consistency and Mind Setting. Commitment to the things that i had promised others and promised to myself. It means that i need to DO IT regardless of the circumstances. Consistency is to be able to do it on a regular basis or to practice being committed to a cause or a person. and of course, last but not the least is Mind Setting.

The meaning is pretty simple but doing it is not that easy. Mind Setting is something that is practiced everyday, like my ways on how to get some sleep every night. Sometimes i win against insomnia, sometimes i don't. Before i knew it, the battle of Sleep Vs No Sleep has become a regular thing and a RATIO appeared.

The ratio meaning that I won't get any sleep for 2-4 consecutive days and by that time, i have to do something to knock myself to sleep. Another thing that i want to practice is the act of GIVING. I'm not really a person who gives to charity and I haven't thought about being one, until a few days ago. Change is certainly the only thing that is constant in this world and if i will change, i will do so for the better.

Also, being part of a team makes things easier. The sharing of ideas and opinions can help solve a problem in  just a matter of minutes and there can be more than one solution to a problem. My team is also preparing for an all out attack (so to speak) and i know, given enough time we will be able to win and conquer our dreams, aspirations and the goals that we had set for ourselves.

Have a Great Week Everyone and till then...

See you next month =)

Heart Connect!

Sometimes, the best way to wrap up the day is a heart to heart talk with people who are important to you. I'm sure that there will come a time, when all of us would want to open up to people... whom we think are important in our lives.

Frankly, it helps a LOT in lifting up those heavy shoulders that we had been carrying throughout the day. We feel lighter, we begin to smile more and we tend to see things in a different view. Even if our worlds are more on the shades of gray, a single ray of light can make a difference. That light may come from someone close to you who will help you overcome your fears, doubts and worries that are etched in your heart, your mind and your very soul.

I can't help but imagine holding someone tightly as if never wanting to let them go. Just to be near them, to snuggle beside them and just keep them in your embrace. I hope that those sweet and cuddly moments will come to me when i need it the most. I know that everytime the world throws out the worst on me, somewhere out there is laughing his/her hearts out. If you think about all the hardships that people need to undergo just to "Live" their lives, you can write it as a story. It may have a happy ending, it may have a sad ending...but then again, it is a story that is one of a kind. A story on whom we are the main actors and actresses. A story of love, hate and sadness all wrapped up in a delicate silk ribbon which is the very foundation of our journey in this world.

Hmmm.... as long as the world keeps on turning and my heart keeps on beating, it will be a rough ride.
And before the finish line arrives, i pray with all my might...that my dreams, aspirations and story will make a mark on this world. A mark that will forever distinguish me, from the many faces that surrounds me.

A Legacy that is left by "Your's Truly". Someday it will happen...i will make it happen.

Until  next time....

Storm after Storm

Yes, it has been a very stormy month. The rainy season has spawned storms after storms and there are times when the wind is strong enough, to blow your umbrella away from  your hand. Frankly, i like rain...but not when it becomes too strong or too often for comfort.

Well, i will admit that i did get some sleep because of the cold weather and for that I am thankful. Sadly, there are people who's homes are submerged under water due to the heavy floods that had hit us for these past few days. Its like Mother Nature's ways of reminding us that sometimes, if things look bad...it can get worse. It definitely did and people are hoping that the rains will ease up a little before this week is over.

As for me, I am happy that things are slowly but surely falling into place. Life is unpredictable, like the weather and you'll never know the kind of people that you will meet along the way. I lost people who i thought were close to me (and whom i thought were my friends) But, the funny thing is more people took their place. It's like...hey we have mo sits here! Anyone care to have one? Before i knew it, all the sits were taken up and life moves on as usual.

It's true that when a door closes, a new one takes it's place.
Good things fall apart, so that better things can fall together.

Be Safe everyone and till next time....

Busy Rainy Wednesday!

When it rains...it pours @__@ I did a lot of things today, because i wasn't able to do anything for the past 2 weeks because of my insomnia. I didn't know what happened but my sure fire method of falling asleep didn't work for the past 2 weeks. It was like....uhh...my insomnia evolved and my sleeping technique (and practices) was also upgraded.

So the thing is...i tried YOGA. Yeah~ well...I'm not sure if its because i started Yoga, that i started to fall asleep once again. It is also funny but i also felt some improvement as well. For one thing, even though i only get 3-4 hours of sleep a day, I feel really refreshed. It was like getting 8 hours of sleep O_O (even if i only get 3-4 hours).

It was an amazing feeling and I pray that it will continue to be like this, until i had found a sure fire way to cure my insomnia.

Like the title implies, this day is quite busy. I met some people who are going to join my team and i feel like this was the "start of something great". Yes, great thing start from small beginnings. It's not always easy and there are always things and people that tend to get in your way. If only i could kick them all away, then things would be better. But, that is life and this is what makes life so exciting....(yes, kicking those bastards and slapping their faces would be a very good stress reliever) and fun. ^__^

The only downside is that i forgot my umbrella, i got soaked in the rain...and i think I'm going to have a fever. Hopefully, it will not worsen during the night and i will be able to get some well deserved rest.

Aside from that i have no other complaints because....
Anyone...who will stand in my way will be squished...(lol)

Have a great week everyone and don't forget your raincoats and umbrellas.

Till then...

Building My Dream Team!

All of us have dreams, all of us have selfish dreams. I am starting to learn things that i had never known before and somehow, the changes that are happening to me are falling down in buckets. We have a saying that "no man is an island", if that is true then that also means that we need other people to make our dreams come true.

If there are people out there who is going to lend their hand to you, then reaching your dream will be a lot faster and less harder than you can ever imagine. We call that "Leveraging", spending less time on certain things and more time on the "things" that matters. Because of this concept, i had decided to form a team....my very own Dream Team.

A team on which we are going to help each other in fighting our fears and doubts as we go outside our comfort zones. A team that will back you up no matter what and pull you up...when other people pull you down. Frankly and in all honesty, trying to get a positive attitude all depends on how good you are in "mind setting". If you can focus on the things that you want to achieve, then you need to Save Yourself Some Time Effort and Money. A System that will work for you, a system that can work for everyone.

I know that given time, even with all the adversities and negativities that life has in store for us in the future...I know that we will be able to face it all. As long as we stick together and watch each other's back. I pray that all of us will be able to achieve our dreams and goals in life.

Till next time......

T3h Power of Fish Oil!

I am now a believer! (lol)

Fish oil or commonly known as Omega 3 really improved my resistance to the usual backlash, of not having any sleep every night. The pain that i feel every morning is now gone and i am left with the sense of "satisfaction" in trying out these greatly advised product. 

Now don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to promote the fish oil capsules or whatnot, i just want you to know that when all else fail, you can trust these omega 3 capsules to make you feel better. To those insomniacs that had been reading my blog for the past few months, I advise you to try these combinations.



1. If you don't get any sleep

Drink 1 vitamin b complex (b1, b6, b12) tablet (let me quote, tablet not capsule) when you rise from the bed after a night without any rest.

Drink 1 Fish oil capsule after lunch

Drink 1 vitamin b complex (b1, b6, b12) tablet....30 mins before you go to sleep.

Believe me, you will be surprised at the results!

Now if you happen to get some sleep after doing this routine, then go to step 2

2. Do not drink any vitamin b tablet during the mornings. That is overkill :P

Drink 1 Fish oil capsule after lunch

Drink 1 vitamin b complex (b1, b6, b12) tablet....30 mins before you go to sleep.

IF YOUR SLEEP CYCLE IS BROKEN, REPEAT STEP 1

Hopefully, you will be able to get that well deserved rest that is just to hard to catch (no matter how hard you try).

And lastly, do not forget to pray before going to sleep It helps a lot as well =)

Sleep tight everyone and till next time...
