The Sunday Currently, v12

FEELING A little bit better, hopefully? It’s Day 9 of post-op recovery from tonsillectomy and while the previous days have been absolutely torture, I can actually see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. If you follow my twitter then you would have probably seen my tweets of the same kind below. The past week has been crazy. Tonsillectomy recovery in adults is not for the faint-hearted. I am glad I got to have a little bit of outside R&R this weekend because my family decided to book rooms at a beach resort nearby. After being cooped up in my room for a good 5 days crying in pain, I think I needed a different atmosphere. I did not imagine day 4-6 to be hurting this much. It’s synonymous to torture. #tonsillectomy — Justine (@juiceee) July 17, 2015 Other than that, today I found something that had the potential to break me and put me at my lowest. If this were me a month ago, I would have probably flipped and allowed …

FEELING I am finally discharged from the hospital after being admitted for 3 days and 2 nights. I’m feeling the after effects of hospitalization right now.. my throat hurts day 3 post-op, my jaw kind of hurts, my tongue hurts, and a little bit of my chest hurts when I try to breathe heavily. I’m not allowed to cough, to exert any effort, lay down flat on my back (neck to head needs to be elevated), lift heavy stuff, or talk too loud. That’s the extent of my physical pain right now. All else, still a mix bag of emotions. READING South of the Border, West of the Sun by Haruki Murakami. I’ve been on a roll with my reading lately. It seems like I’m reading a new book each time I write a new TSC post. I hoarded books for my recovery reading and I hope I get to finish them in a span of one week. LISTENING The only thing I can hear right now is the sound my room A/C. Truth to …

The Sunday Currently, v10

It’s technically a Monday but I’ve had this entry lined up from last night that it would be a waste not to post it only because it’s past the day it’s supposed to be posted. Fuck blogging rules, right? Over the weekend I had no access to my laptop and my mobile was basically on overdrive so the thought of being able to post a concrete blog post totally escaped me. — FEELING Pretty great to say the least. I’m currently in Manila right now and the weekend is about to come to a close. Even though I booked flights impulsively (woes of a broken heart) I was still hesitant to fly because my health hasn’t exactly been optimum for a while now. I’m glad I did anyway because I had such a great time. Being with Jakarta friends just really takes burden off my shoulders and makes me feel like home, even amidst Manila craziness. READING Sophie Kinsella’s Finding Audrey. It’s a YA book about a young girl and her struggle with mental disorder. …

FEELING I’m okay for the most part, but generally anxious because of decisions I have to make that involves a lot of things at stake. Despite having a relaxing Sunday at home because of the rain (curse you), I did not sleep well at all. READING God-Shaped Hole by Tiffanie DeBartolo! Ham recommended me this book a few days ago and I’m almost halfway through it. It’s about a 27-year-old girl who falls in love with a quirky man and the book tells the story of their relationship. I relate to the girl in more ways than her age. I have a feeling this isn’t going to end well, but I’m ready for that. WRITING This blog post and a few comments on blogs on my list to read. LISTENING In between CNN Philippines and Cousins Undercover on Lifestyle Channel right now. This is the first time I’m blogging in the living room in front of the tv because I just need to occupy my mind. THINKING About so many things. You don’t even know. …

The Sunday Currently, v8

FEELING All over the place. I’m sure things will fall into place soon but for now, I’m still quite a mess. LISTENING To my June Spotify playlist. It’s a mix of songs I still haven’t gotten over and a few new favorites. I’m really into the whole mixture of ambient and general pop. LOVING I don’t want to be too honest with this one with the first thing that comes into my head. It’s been a rough few weeks but over the weekend I indulged in retail therapy. I bought a new MAC lipstick in Captive so I’m going to put that on my list. I am also loving Bobbi Brown’s Rum Raisin and MAC Del Rio. I feel like I’m going to purchase one of the two soon. HOPING That the next few days, weeks, months will be much kinder to me. The first half of the year was pure bliss and I don’t want the other half to be the complete opposite. READING Job postings online. I’ve come to a point where I’m …
