SHIKIMIKIE

For all of you who don't know, Pottermore kind of reinvented itself and comes that is a new sorting ceremony thingy where you can choose to keep your house or to actually be re-sorted. To be honest, I kind of forgot my former house already. I was very confused because I used to have two accounts. First was Slytherin (an account given to me) and Gryffindor (I got sorted to this). I think I actually identified myself a little bit to both already so I was just like, okay, one final sorting and I'm done. It turns out I'm a Slytherin afterall. 

People change. I think that's what J.K. is trying to point out. A little bit too realistic if you ask me. 

With my wand though, it's still the same. Wood and core! It's a little bit longer now though. I guess I would be able to do more magic with longer wand so I'm not mad. 

Now that lola's in heaven, it's my mom's duty to prepare food for everyone. Whilst I was there, I had an opportunity to do that as well.

CHICKEN CALDERETA

With instant packages available, it's actually a lot easier to prepare food nowadays. But you know, the ultimate goal is to know how to make things from scratch. Well I kinda know how to but execution is more difficult. 

Can I just say that the beef took forever to become tender. After boiling it for an hour and a half, my mom was like, I can't really do anything about it so maybe I should stop there. And so I did. What are they feeding these cows anyways? I reckon RUBBER. It was actually good. Minus the beef haha. 

Not all chunk was hard though. There were still some edible pieces. And guess who enjoyed the really rubberized cut? SHIKI (my dog) who was sick that time. We don't waste food at our house. We have plenty of dogs to even worry about left-overs. 

CARBONARA

I liked the carbonara. Ciao! :) 

SURGERY: It was an out-patient operation that started around 8am and ended 11am. My mom and I was there at around 7. The nurse handed me a consent form, filled that out, handed it back to the nurse, and the nurse already called me into the changing room to get dressed. So my mind was like not prepared because I thought I'd be with mama a little longer but anyways. I was actually consious during that time (as planned) and I know what's up. I believe that there are five people in the operating room. I was awake but I couldn't see because the doctor ordered a nurse to prep my face with povidine iodine and alcohol so after she did that, even though how hard I try, It's kind of difficult for me to open my eyes because some liquid dried in my lid or something. Anyways, inside that little room (according to my other senses) were two nurses, a medical intern, the surgeon, and myself. The doctor was actually very specific and would do things as discussed. First things first, anesthesia. Probably the worst part. And we begin. I remember feeling the pain at the beginning so I told him that and he was like, "more, more!" He told me that I shouldn't be feeling any pain so he kind of used up all that he prepared. I had gore-tex implant for my bridge and he harvested some cartilage at the back of my ears to enhance the tip of my nose. He was actually about to skip the ear cartilage part but after fitting in the implant several times and probably mending it because I hear him ask for knife each time IDK, he was like, "I do really need some cartilage." He then did his thing and got what he wanted. But before putting that, he was like, "rasp" and then goodness gracious he filed the sides of my nose. I mean, I couldn't really feel the pain per se but you know, as he was doing it, my head was kind of dancing with the thing. My only worry was my eyes to be honest. I was really paranoid that he would hit my eyeballs. But anyhow. He told me that he should actually supposed to fracture the bones with hammer and chisel but since I was awake, not possible so yeah. When he was already stitching it all up, I probably felt the suture needle thrice. It was not pretty. I remember feeling the pain again and the doctor was like, "can you feel it? " and I was like "yeah" and he was like, "we're almost done." good lord. After the stitches were done, he then said he would just tape it and would not "cement". I don't know why. He also placed a cotton ball inside my ear and specifically asked me not to take it off until our next appointment to prevent hematoma. After that, the nurse asked me if I was dizzy and because I was really okay, I got off the OR after maybe 10 minutes. 

DAY 2: Bruised. It was the only day I was by the way. Amazing. No pain at all but just to make sure, I took Mefenamic Acid for three days starting the day of surgery. 

DAY 5: Tapes and stitches removed. Man, it was brutal. I was tearing because in order for him to rip off the stitches, he kind of pulled it away from my skin so he wouldn't cut it. Gets? Man, it was fresh that time so that really hurt. He then placed new tapes to hasten the recovery. 

Those are the eventful days so far. Will update you soon! It's still kind of swollen as of this writing so yeah. Ciao!

Also, I didn't know that the pizza was so big. But we did finish it. Sort of. Ciao! 

There's too much red happening in this picture that I can't even.
