when AMOEBIASIS attack

Last friday night, 7th of July 2006, i felt something weird in my stomach. More of a pain i guess. I rushed myself the bathroom and exploded "the bomb". But wait, it wasn't the usual "bomb" i had. Quite different. i thought it was just nothing.

I was awaken by something the next morning; not the alarm of my clock or the vibration of my cell phone, but the pain of my stomach. I ran to the bathroom again and released "the bomb" again. i went back to bed and ready to sleep again but after 10minutes my stomach starts to crumble again. What did i do next? Of course i went to the bathroom again. Every 10-20minutes i have to go the bathroom to release "something".

I told my parents about it that saturday evening but my mom just told me to take diatabs. But there's no effect. i still have to go to the bathroom every 10-20minutes.

My family and i, together with some relatives (my titos, titas, and cousins) watched Superman Returns at imax (Mall of Asia). While watching the movie, i can feel my stomach aching and wanted to release "the bomb". Damn! it was so hard controlling it but i manage to do it <applause>. After the movie, my stomach was in good condition. i thought that was the end of it.

We went to a restaurant and had our lunch (even though it's almost 3pm that time) there. it was also our despedida party for Aica, one of my cousins, because she's going to the Australia anytime this week (how sad... she's going to continue her studies there... we're going to miss you Aix). Most of our dish was seafoods (mmmmm... yummy... especially the prawns and the mussels). When i was in the middle of my meal, suddenly my stomach starts to crumble again. Oh no! Here it comes again. i did not bother to finish the food in my plate and hurridly went to the bathroom of that restaurant. Thank goodness they had an exhause fan there. it was embarassing because every 10-20minutes i have to go to the bathroom. my eyes were almost in tears because of the pain i felt. We went home like 6:30pm already and i was telling my mom to drive fast because my stomach was really in severe pain.

(forward to the next day... Monday) Even though my class starts at 11am i couldn't go to the school but i have to. i was absent for our first two subjects. Before going to our 3rd (and second to the last) subject, i went to our school clinic first and have myself checked up. They gave me medicine and treatment. They also told me that i should avoid oily and fatty foods. i should only eat crackers, apple, banana, and drink Gatorade or Sprite. i was feeling kind of ok the following hours. (just to add to this story... we had our pictorial yesterday for Artistang Artlets --official theater guild of AB College at UST. it was very fun!!! and my groupmates were very artistic  <blush blush>.

Today i'm feeling better but my stomach is still aching.
