Wikipedia defines Dysmenorrhea as... ...cramps or painful menstruation, involves menstrual periods that are accompanied by either sharp, intermittent pain or dull, aching pain, usually in the pelvis or lower abdomen. I am currently experiencing the dull, aching pain type of dysmenorrhea. I would like to think my dysmenorrhea is classified as primary because secondary dysmenorrhea is usually due to some other illness. NOHOOO! Wikipedia also says that... An estimated 10 percent to 15 percent of women experience monthly menstrual pain severe enough to prevent normal daily function at school, work, or home. I have been experiencing dysmenorrhea ever since I started getting my menstrual period. There were times when the pain was intense enough to make me cry. Most of the time, I would have to go to the school clinic to lie down and rest. The school nurse would usually give me pain killers such as mefenamic acid and ibuprofen. In 2003, I suddenly developed an allergic reaction to mefenamic acid, ibuprofen, and even aspirin which would lead to itchy and unsightly bumps around my eyes like this. EW! So I contented myself with taking paracetamol everytime I would experience dysmenorrhea. Until... I also developed an allergic reaction to…

Another Break-Up Post
It has been said before... and no matter how hard we try not to make it true... it is a fact... Love is never enough. Two people can love each other sincerely and yet not be together... because we live in a world where distance matters, where time matters, where even money matters... work and stress take its toll, life happens... SHIT happens. No matter how much you try to make it work, it just does not happen the way you want it to happen. I do not feel bitterness, no more pain... only sadness. I was never angry, only frustrated. We didn't break up because of differences. It wasn't because of a misunderstanding. We just knew, understood that we would be better off without the relationship, without the commitment, without the expectations, without the complications. A lot of people never understood our relationship. It didn't make sense to them. But it did to us. And that's what mattered to us. But it became difficult... we didn't live in a bubble that rendered us immune to the realities, and holding on to the relationship became a struggle. But we are happy. It still doesn't make sense to most people, but…
Online Manito – Manita System
Every Christmas, us maternal cousins have the traditional bunot-bunot. There's 25 of us and it's quite expensive to buy gifts for each other. Since some of us are already based in Manila, the Kuya Andrew made a way for us to pick our manitos without having proxies. We used to have proxies for picking but this always led to arguments. HAHA! Last year and this year, Kuya had us all log in to http://www.alleba.com/manito, where we would see this... We would then key in our randomly assigned key code that we each received via email. After our code is confirmed, we'd press shake.... Nice, right??? The best feature of the entire thing, me thinks... is we get to make our own wishlist!!! So no more unwanted scented candles, picture frames, mugs, etc. Last year, I received a nice book from Kuya Jofer. Sana this year... may magbigay ng Moleskine. :D O diba??? Meron kayo niyan? :D
Changes and Choices
A few months ago, my high school friend invited some of us batchmates for a despedida (going away) "party." (Party is in quote because there were just four of us.) He was leaving in a few days to go to Singapore. We all thought he will be going there to work. We have talked about it before. He wanted to find work in Singapore because his girlfriend was already working there. As it turns out, while he did quit his job here in Davao City, he is not going to try to actively find work in Singapore. He has already decided to stay here, and just to there to visit his girlfriend. My friend decided to stay here, because he suddenly realized that he didn't want to spend the rest of his life as an architect employed by a big company. Rather, he wanted to build his own company with his family. All his brothers and his one sister are engineers or taking up a related course. Now, he is back from Singapore, full of stories about his vacation. And full of ideas for the company he is going to build. Last time we talked, I felt his anxiety. He…
Single Again
We didn't fight, we didn't have any misunderstandings. It just had to happen. Long distance relationships are hard. Ours was made more complicated by personal problems, both his and mine. We thought it would not be as hard breaking up as friends. But it is... it's hard and painful. But it had to happen. Blogging about it seems hard. It makes things seem real and final. But I have to. This is one part of me, of my life I have to share. For now, this is all I can say. But expect more drama and emo in the coming days.
