Home Alone

It's Friday night and I'm home alone. I had planned to stay home this evening to ease my rhinitis symptoms (stuffy nose) and salvage the mess I've made in my room, but I'm starting to feel restless and bored. It's been sometime since I've spent a Friday night by myself. I've always had the pleasure of CB's company but he's in the Philippines chilling at some beach. That thought bugs me more than being home alone, espcially when I was supposed to go with him. I guess I'm feeling bitter that I'm stuck here working when I could've been over there having tons of fun, and I miss him. damn it, damn that Boss.

So, I've had this stuffy nose and congestion for the past week. It's been awful. I was only able to breathe through my nose so my throat is completely dry in the mornings and my lips chapped. My nose would be dripping all day long but I couldn't blow it because it was plugged up. I've been dosing myself with Sudafed daily mixed with Afrin nasal spray and I tried using nasal rinse too. I got so irritated that I even pulled out my rhinoscope to see what the hell was going on in there. Finally, I got a day off on Thursday and I used the steam room in my gym which helped to clear things up a bit. For 4 days food had no taste, I ammused myself one dinner time by pouring Chinese hot sauce over my steamed fish just to see what I could taste... nada. Barely tasted the hot sauce. For days I couldn't smell my soap in the shower, I couldn't smell if that left over food in the fridge has gone bad, heck, I couldn't tell if I smelled bad. This sucks!

You look tired

There are days when I'm totally fine and I get greeted with "are you okay? you look tired."

I'm not quite sure how to react to that. I thank them for their concern and assure them I'm fine. But then I start to feel insecure about the way I look. Do I look like shit or something? I really hate that comment, because if I feel fine and I think I look fine, then this is as good as I get, for the day. And for the rest of the day, I'm basically going to look tired.

best calling card

I found the best calling card!

I've been using calling cards to call Taiwan and Canada for the past 5 years and I can't believe it took me so long to search online for better cards. Calling card is the best way for me since wireless companies don't have calling plans to Asia and I can use the card anywhere. Plus calling cards are cheap, 2-3 cents/ min to Taiwan!

1stphonecard.com allows me to recharge my card, which really isn't anything new, but it also recognizes the phone that I'm using so as long as I call from the same phone, I don't have to enter my 9 digit long pin number. THEN it stores up to 3 destination numbers on their system. If I store the local access # to my speed dial, I only have to hit 2 numbers to reach my parents!! Or sisters.

I'm really happy. I haven't called my parents much lately because my last pin # was so hard to remember I was already grumpy by the time I say hello. I think they will be happy to receive my routine pointless calls again.

"how are you doing mom? are you taking care of yourselves? yes, I'm talking while i'm driving.. yes, I know it's dangerous... yes, I behave when I go out....yes, I take care of myself...no, I don't stay out late...no, I don't stay at my boyfriends'..... long distance is expensive.. I'll call you guys next week"

my dad still thinks it costs $2/min to call Asia
