GERD, why do you have to keep on coming back?

Originally written last June 26, 2013.

'Sometimes we tend to overindulged ourselves with earthly things. Then, frustration comes in when the feeling of inadequacy overshadowed us.'

  Last June 23, 2013, I ate a lot that I couldn't manage my stomach anymore. It started with a cup of milo at 4am. I was in the graveyard shift that time. I didn't have enough sleep and I don't have any choice, but to drink cup of coffee after I ate my breakfast. Well, I'm living with my family and I didn't have the hard time in preparing my meals. That morning we enjoyed our merienda because shared a serve of mango float. I'm glad staying in the house every weekend because my siblings were there and together we're complete as a family. I ate four slices of pizza the afternoon of that day and then, it started my hyperacidity.



     I was diagnosed with GERD last year. GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) is a back-flow of gastric or duodenal contents into the esophagus. It started with too much burping every morning and it ended up in one morning that I suffered with severe epigastric pain after eating my breakfast. Well, after two weeks of Omperazole, I recovered from GERD and I started observing a healthy meal. However that day I forgot about my GERD, I eat too much and it strikes again.

      I was in the back seat of our car when I suffered form hyperacidity and realized this reflection. Overindulging ourselves from anything can be wrong sometimes and it may lead us to some consequences. Being sufficient in our lives can take us a lot of effort because we, humans, are predisposed to overfeed ourselves with earthly things especially with money. Some may enter gambling, corruption and other evil things just to satisfy themselves. Then again, we should found our deepest satisfaction in our hearts. We must have a daily reflection of about ourselves for us to avoid overindulgence. Let us observe our self-control at everything. Be in moderate mode.

     This day I found it as a great lesson and I will try to keep this to myself as part of growing up to become a matured one.

'Problems don't stay problems, they turn into something else.'

Written July 14, 2015 . This is the movie wallpaper of Wild. I just finished watching the movie 'Wild'. I chose to watch this movie tonight because of Reese Witherspoon and she's one of my favorite. And also, I didn't have a lot of things to do right now, so I prefer a movie over a book. I thought this was all about hiking because that was the idea I got in the trailer. I was wrong. Somehow, as the story continues, it illustrates how strong a woman can face life alone in the dessert and how she survives such crisis. It also depicts what a woman can do in order to move on and surpass her troubles. As a woman, myself, the movie helps me to become more courageous enough in dealing with my own problems. There was a line that catches my attention, 'Problems don't stay problems, they turn into something else.' It can be our life's motto especially if we are losing hope in our situation. This is Cheryl Strayed. Cheryl Strayed and Reese Wither...

     I already said my goodbyes repeatedly years ago, but when he came back without a warning, the feelings have suddenly immersed and I am here troubled with doubts of what would be the right thing to do.       Yes, I dearly love him after all these years, but as far as we go through this journey, we can’t keep ourselves steady and stable in securing a commitment. I don’t know if this is just a minor feeling, but I am hurt already in the inside especially on his silent treatment and ignoring behavior.       I love him that I almost have given everything just to keep him in my life. Love can really make us crazy and because of these raging feelings, I can do things without even thinking clearly. Now that he’s far away from me, I am keeping myself secure and somehow ready for anything that will happen sooner.       I should be contented with what I only have in my life. Honestly, this is what I co...
