The City Life

Sometimes it feels boring waking up everyday, getting ready for the office, being in the office whole day. Sometimes I just want to bum around, stay in the flat, clean it, just do about anything I want to do except go to the office.

I feel like I need to write more, spend more time with myself but living not alone anymore keeps my time occupied. I enjoy having people around me whom I trust but it seems the day just pass by fast and I feel like I run out of time almost everyday. I need to do something about it.

I had dinner with a friend who went out of town, out of the country actually, for three weeks. She said she was hospitalized while she was in the Philippines. They found out that she has high blood pressure at a critical time and she didnt even realize it. She didnt feel anything at all, which is bad. She was on a visit to a doctor for liposuction procedure but they declined to do the operation, instead had her admitted for high blood. But she said she didnt agree straight away, she said she had to do something first. She delayed it for a day. The "something" that she had to do was go and buy lechon pork and munch on the skin to her heart's content for the whole day before being treated at the hospital. She is now on diet and on lots of medication. I wonder if I have high blood pressure too. So I am reading these stuff these days....

It is a "silent killer". Lots of people have died not knowing that they have high blood pressure. Let us not be one of them.

Peace!
