THE QUEEN OF MISHAPS
Have you heard of the song Ako ang Hari ng Sablay? I think if there’s a Queen for that, it definitely is me. You see, after I accidentally stepped on a big nail late May 2008, another unfortunate incident happened in my-full-of-mishaps-world the past few days. I accidentally ate a big fish tinik last week and it irritated my throat, thanks to a sumptuous sinangag and daing na bangus breakfast I had last week. The irritation was so bad that the throat was so swollen, it got me nursing a high fever for two days-yesterday and Monday.
So with advices from Teacher Julie (she felt the fever I’m wearing when we saw each other last Monday), I went to an ENT doctor yesterday and have my throat seen. Apparently, there was an infection and it was really bad. The doctor had to take a skin sample of a part that he saw swelling, and have it seen in the laboratory for biopsy. Now, how he took the skin sample got me all nervous. Armed with his surgical scissor and a little whisk of anesthesia somewhere in my throat, I saw with my two eyes through a mirror how the skin was cut like a paper! Yikes! Ewww! I nearly fainted. But am glad it’s over and done with.
Right now, am on antibiotics for seven straight days (again!) with hopes that the swelling will soon subside. Sigh. Oh well, if there’s anything good that this new mishap episode gave me, it’s the unexpected shedding of some unwanted pounds. You wouldn’t believe it, but just for a few days, I lost 2.5 pounds already.
Poor Queen of Mishaps Me, really. What next? Being trapped on saddles? *knocks on wood* I hope not. Next time, I’ll really be extra careful, promise!

thanks Sister! este, Balae pala! onga eh, ewan ko ba, super lampa na nga ako, lapitin pa ko ng disgrasya.
alam mo, boneless bangus na yun, pero may tinik tinik pa din kasi eh.
pramis yan ha! am glad ur okay though. kaya i understand a lot of people hear who dont want to eat yung mga isda na maraming tinik — kakatakot talaga. i even have a pinay friend who refuses to eat any kind of fish ever since nung natinik sya at naospital coz of it!

hi Raq. super thanks at promise talaga, I’ll be double careful. eh naku, sobrang sakit kaya, parang lumulon ako ng icepick eh.
nagka phobia na siguro yung friend mo, that’s why. ako lang hindi eh, now lang, fish na naman ulam namin.
oh my gosh. wawa ka naman. at kakaiba ha. natinik na rin ako ng fish pero water or banana lang ok na. first time kong nakarinig sa umabot sa skin sample.
hi Cess. onga eh, nung nagkita nga kami ni T.Julie, sya din daw natinik. pero nakuha sa saging lang. ako, eto under antibiotics lang naman.
i hope you’re okay now. grabe, i didn’t think a tiny tinik will do that much damage. but then, things happen talaga. i know this person who accidentally swallowed the hard white part of a balut. yung ten pesos na binili nya ng balut naging P20,000 kasi he had to be rushed to the hospital (in another city pa kasi walang equipment na pantanggal dito) just to have the thing removed.

hi Anna. thanks for the well wishes! eto, medyo Ok na rin kahit pano. the antibiotics were a big help!
grabe naman yan. yung white part ng balot na swallow nya. baka naman na disgrasya dahil sa katatawa nya habang kumakain? joke lang. at grabe din ang damage ha, 20K, ganun ganun na lang. wow!
Sus, Feng, kaya dapat talaga ingat when eating fish. Kakattakot din, not just the expenses but the pain too.
Hope you will be ok na
