1.  So the beach party was awesome! The place was really pretty and relaxing and I got to eat a lot of good food so everything was super cool. I think I almost overdosed on the caramel macchiato they had at the cafe since it was sooo good. I've never had one before and it's my boyfriend's favourite too. 
2. There were a lot of cats in the resort, which I found really relaxing. They weren't super rowdy or disturbing at alll, they just sat there all weird and would stare at you. At one point it got really creepy because one cat wouldn't stop staring at me. I love cats though so it's all okay. 
3. Here's a little panoramic image of the resort. This is my second time there, just a different "area" of the whole shoreline. It's crescent-shaped and you can literally walk your way around it.

1. It's the day before Valentines' Day! I'm not really one to celebrate this day in any special manner, since I consider it to be blatantly commercialized and has lost a lot of it's significance, but if it brings couples together in whatever way they choose then it's all good to me. The world needs more love :)
2. I can't wait for it to be the weekend already! I'm having trouble walking around as a side effect of the medicine and the doctor has advised that I start tapering down my dosage this weekend. I hope the side effects will be significantly less by then. 
3. I'm going away to a beach resort for the weekend for a company party. I'm not sure if I should bring my laptop, I figured I'll use the time to actually relax. I'd still be reading, considering I find that very relaxing. I hope the weather won't be terrible once we get there. I'm not in any condition to be swimming but I still want to enjoy the scenery!

• I have an early flight to the doctor today! It's almost 2am and my medications are keeping me awake. HELP!  I'm really hoping this ordeal would end soon, because I can't take all the pain it's putting my family and I already. It's expensive, and the medicines have terrible side effects I don't really like dealing with.
• I've been getting dreams of having a lobotomy done to me so many times now. I'm not one to read into dreams with meanings but having to wake up internally screaming is scary as hell. My curiosity took the best of me though, and here's what one website says about my creepy dream. 

To see or dream that you have a lobotomy indicates that you are either trying to get to your subconscious and access its insights or you are trying to suppress it and erase it from your consciousness. Alternatively, the dream means that you are under tremendous mental stress.

• I wrote a little poem expressing these "mental stresses" and I feel like that alleviated it a bit. Tonight's the first night that I haven't dreamed of getting drilled in the brain. I also shared it to my boyfriend, who's very kind and supportive throughout my whole ordeal. Distance suck but it'd be much sweeter in the end :)

1. Let's see. I'm finally done with one of my midterm exams! There was a lot of material that needed to be covered but I'm just really glad that it's done and over with. I missed a lot of classes for my checkups so I hope I did good and I get an okay grade. The exam wasn't even that hard, just the fact that there was a ton that needed to be read made things very overwhelming. 
2.  My medications are making it difficult for me to breathe! Oh no! My boyfriend suggested I lower the dose by myself (without the doctor's approval) if it becomes too much so I'm gonna do that. I'll worry about the complications later. It won't do me any good if I'm unable to breathe.
3. Chinese New Year is almost here! My family isn't Chinese but my mother likes to follow this tradition. She'd buy round candies and fruits and we'll eat this glutinous rice fried in egg batter called "tikoy" colloquially. I shouldn't eat a lot of it considering it's very sweet and has a lot of carbohydrates but maybe a slice or two wouldn't hurt.

1. I have  a doctor's appointment for my ITP tomorrow. I'm finally gonna get the results to my biopsy and we'll show him my test results for Lupus (which said I was positive up to some certain point of dilution). I've been showing good progress with the medications he's put me in so far except that the steroidal meds are increasing my appetite to a horrendous degree. The nurse did say my body's just trying to cope with the hyperacidity that is one of the side-effects so i'm hoping it'll stop once i stop using the medicine. I might get something for my possible Lupus but i have no idea what it is yet. 

2. The internet at my house isn't working at all and the plugit thing isn't getting a proper reception from where my room is now. It really really sucks because my boyfriend and I are kinda in tight schedules nowadays (him being in Germany and me being sick haha) so I really miss being able to just message him whenever I can. I hope it'll get fixed as soon as possible though. I can't wait for all these renovations to be done.

3. Aside from the medical appointment, I'm also excited to be going to the big city to check out the bookstores. There aren't any book stores in my small town so these little trips get me very very excited. I'm looking forward to checking out the booksales in some big mall I saw near the hospital the last time I was there (last week).
