I’ll start packing by 4 PM, probably until 9? So that gives me 5 hours to put all of my things, and as much as possible just necessities, into boxes. We all do have a tendency to pack unnecessary baggage, don’t we? I should really pick the right things to bring since I will most likely be ransacking home depots next week to buy more furnishings!
Tomorrow..
Although I still have my Pilates and Chiro in the morning, Saturday will be moving day!
Not as happy as I originally expected I should be. I should’ve stayed, or studied nearby. I don’t wanna leave. But I need this.. this is part of growing up. Hell, I badly need all the convincing I can get to proceed with the decision I made months ago. x

I was sick for the past week so I haven’t had the chance to post anything new here, except for a queued post about Zong.
1. I was rushed to the ER the other night because my temperature went up to 41º C.
2. I have been taking medication - antibiotics every 12 hours, paracetamol every 4 hours, ibuprofen every 6 hours.
12 tablets a day x 7 days = 84.
Come to think of it, I’m grateful I’m not dead yet.
3. I barely sleep, too.. even at night. My longest sleep would be 2 or 3 hours tops.
4. Until now I can’t walk like before, or else I will pant if I try to walk at a normal pace (like as if I just got off a treadmill). I haven’t gotten out of bed, except when going to the washroom and bathroom.
5. The feeling of being sick. Turning off everything that produces sound and light, the self isolation, the yearning for tranquility inside a room.
The way I seet it, an upside of getting sick is losing 10 pounds! Which I think is perfectly normal owing to the fact that for a week I only ate oatmeal and soup. Plus, my Mom and Dad never left my side.
Well I guess being sick compels you to be cautious next time to not be sick, and reminds you of things or people that you need to be constantly thankful for. :)

Zong is devoted to serving up familiar Chinese fare infused with modern style. They take pride in creating innovative dishes by seamlessly blending time-honored preparation techniques with exuberant, new approaches.
Not only are they a fast casual restaurant, the food they serve is really delicious, too. And guess what? They are ALL MSG free!

Groceries
Purchases from South yesterday! This is roughly 80% of what I bought for this week. 20% were fresh tuna and chicken breasts (but I figured it would be gross to take a picture, to post them online even more so).

Steamed yellow vegetables
This is what I had for lunch today. Trust me, it tastes better than it looks! :)
I didn’t notice that I was having a yellow meal until I had finished chopping everything. I’m such in a great mood today! Perhaps that’s why I unconsciously picked the yellow ones? Whatever the case may be, I think I owe the state of being lively to the one of South’s male employees.
As I’m about to embark into a new phase in my life, I decided to gear up for college and live a healthier lifestyle.
And if you go inside our house and take a look at our ref and pantry, it’s filled with fish, vegetables, low-fat, low-carb, non-fat, no-carb, no preservatives, no artificial flavors, 0% trans fat high-protein, vitamin enriched, soy riched products and the like.. All the food you can imagine being recommended by a doctor to a very ill senior citizen.
I told my friend about it over a month ago, and even I was surprised to say: “Dude, I am living a healthy lifestyle - healthy body, healthy mind, and healthy heart.“
I honestly am spending a fortune on my new luhos, but I guess it will be worth it. I know and feel healthier and better. :)
