Lately I've been experimenting on my diet because obviously, I'm not on a healthy one. I used to have breakfast while I'm working but since things started to get busy I would lose my apetite even for lunch. That would leave me starving by dinner, which I would do right away when I get home and be stuck at the couch after that and fall asleep.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day so yesterday when I was 40 minutes early to work, I had a big one knowing I'm going to be so busy, I won't stop for a lunch break. I had an The Masterpiece from Baywatch, it's an omelette with sausage, bacon and tomato with sourcream, fried potatoes and French toast with butter. Needless to say, I was so full that I only had a few spoonfulls of Cap N' Crunch for lunch.
I forgot to mention that I had a minor headache when I woke up and it comes and goes so I just ignored it but I couldn't bear it any longer so I took my pain medication. I felt better for 2 hours and felt worse by 3:00 PM, I was dizzy and nauseus and then got better again.
My mom and my brother picked me up from work because it's mom's birthday and we went home to pick-up my dad. They already know that I'm not feeling well but my brother didn't eat the whole day so we left after 15 minutes of being at home. I was getting worse by the minute and I couldn't hold it any longer so I gagged at the car.
I felt better after that but I feel this lump on my throat like there's some more left and I was trying so hard to let it all out but my brother being an expert on gagging said that I wouldn't be able to do it and it just goes away after some time.
Mom suggested that I must eat a lot and take my meds right away because I haven't been taking them on time which is probably one of the reasons that I was getting sick. I ordered green shelled mussels - my favorite. It was so good but the thing on my throat was getting worse so I couldn't really enjoy the later part of my dinner. I ended up giving my mussels to mom and that's the end of dinner.
I say Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban when we got home and my brother stil watched it with me even if he was sick of it (we watched it twice in a row last week) so we changed the channel after my favorite parts... and I fell asleep....

It's that time of the year again when I am so comfortable wearing men's socks. Hey, I'm not the only one....

I never would have imagined that I would like Harry Potter this much. I've seen the movies and all but I wasn't really into reading it.
It all started when I was on my freshman year in college. The first movie was out and people went ga-ga on the books. I was curious but after seeing the price tag, I was thinking that the people from the book store were crazy! Charging us books that expensive! I would rather buy me some new clothes or a week's worth of food before I'll get the book. Besides, I only read Anne Rice back then.
All I was interested at reading was all about vampires. If the book was about witches, maybe I'll browse on it. If it was about plain humans, I wouldn't even give it a second look.
On that same year, along came Paulo Coelho. One of my best friends was talking about how his stories make you want to cry and enriching for the soul it was so I wanted to give it a shot. Friend #2 borrowed it and when she was done, I wanted to read it too but bestfriend is afraid that when her mom looks for it and it's not there, she would freak out because back in the Philippines, those kind of books are rare and needless to say, it's expensive. So I was kinda' pissed because Friend #2 was able to read it and I wasn't.
Then I got here in America. Found a job and was finally able to buy the things that I wanted. There was even a time when Angel and I were at Barnes & Noble and I can't decide which Coelho novel to buy so he got them both.
Anyhow, I wasn't solely a vampire reader. I would turn to Coelho when I need some inspiration and a fuzzy feeling inside. But something else was still missing. I wanted to read something light-hearted and not too serious. That's when I was introduced to chic lit.
The new horizon of authors and novels were great. I am transported to a different world and becoming a different person when I'm reading. This resulted to my befriending one of my store managers. He would send me unimaginable number of good books. Eventually, he told me that he used to read the Harry Potter series to his daughter when she was a little girl and they were more than happy to give the whole set to moi. That brings us to now. Everyone is telling me to read it from the beginning and that it's so much better than the movies. And they're right.
Life gets tough every now and then and my quick escape is Harry Potter. Even if the dark lord is after him and his life is constantly in danger, I can't help but think it's easier to be them. They can fix any problem with a spell. They can fly in brooms, moving photos, make charms and jinx, and those charming Weasley twins.....
