hanash, atbp. | 03

It’s one of the rare days when I find myself wanting to write but can’t decide what to write, what topic to discuss, what life update to share, what I want to do and so on.

So let’s do the hanash thing. I was about to use the laughing emoticon but I read on CNN it’s no longer “in” according to Gen-Z. Old people use it often daw. Eh I’m not that old pa naman noh! Char.

I can’t eat spicy food anymore. That means goodbye to kimchi, samgyeupsal, kimchi stew and most korean food. The only korean I can consume without triggering my hyperacidity are kdramas.

Stress triggers it too. I went to my gastroenterologist a few weeks back because of on and off gastic pain. Guess, what he said? It’s stress gastritis daw. Coffee, I can’t let go yet but I can’t consume strong blends. I wonder what I’ll do with my coffee maker and ground beans now. I can’t even have decaf everyday. Vitamin C as well, I take them every other day na. I can’t eat citrus fruits na rin or anything maasim. So paano na ang sinigang, paksiw at  sawsawang maasim at maanghang? Paano na ang migoreng or ang pancit canton na maanghang?

This is really sad. I do know I have to give up coffee though. Pero, isang tawad pa. Gawin ko din siyang every other day or 3x a week.

I meet my gastro and diabetologist regulary. Good thing I found ones I can work with just like my doctors back in Manila. The gist is I need to behave and follow my doctors orders or everything is just useless.

I’m still at hoarding books. The Kindle is now stashed somewhere. Every one physical book I read, I get 2-4 books in return. How will I ever finish my growing TBR physical books now?

Shopee is still a pain in the pocket. Yet, I add to cart. LOL.

Speaking of Shopee, I have my own shop now. I sell mostly preloved books. Check my shop here.

One of the things I bought last month was a bluetooth mouse and keyboard for my tablet. The keyboard is still working. The mouse stopped working last night and I only used the pair thrice since I bought them. Tanginang waste of money.

I want a new smart watch, an air purifier, and a bunch of things for baking. Plus books. More books.

I should stop this now because I have a new spread to do on my bullet journal, read a book, cook dinner, write again I think.

K. Tnx. Bye.

Wait, my cousin keeps on telling me to buy MinaLima books, ano bang meron dun?
