It's been a long time.

Yeah, it's a lame opening but it's all I got.

So anyway. I got a job, I quit the job. hehehe That's the short version. In addition to that, I just discovered that I go this nifty little 3cm x 2cm x 2cm nodular goiter at the right side of my throat! ^__^

Talking for 8 hours straight is just not for me. I can go 24 hours without saying more than 24 words altogether, and that's just fine and dandy with me. Of course, that's not counting the grunts and hn's or hmph's and the other nice 'sound' words that usually accompany my vocabulary.

There's going to be two weddings here this weekend, both neighbours and friends of mine, and I'm only invited to one. Funny, ne?

The one that I'm invited to, I'm friends with both the bride and groom. The groom and I grew up together -- considering our houses are right next to each other -- and the bride and I got to be friends over the period of time that she'd come to live with him and their children.

The one I'm not invited to, I used to think I was friends with the bride; don't know the groom. I remember playing with her and her siblings when we were kids, and we went to the same high school together. So alright, we weren't in the same section EVER in the four years of high school, but we did have the same school service, considering her house is right across the street from mine.

So anyway, it's kinda funny, but I've never really paid attention to whatever feud is happening between and among the families here in our little slice of paradise, though it seems to me that there's a feud going on involving us. I have honestly no idea what went down re: that.

What else is new?

I'm taking herbal medicine, all six of them, three times a day after meals with warm water. For that nodular goiter thing? And then there's this infrared therapy thing going on -- you place this gizmo of light against the ouchie and after a period of time it'll go away. Heck, the recommendation came from a cured cancer patient, in that she only had 3 to 5 months to live and the meds of this herbologist cured her properly.

I've gained weight. I'm thinking of getting this herbal medicine as well that's designed for weight loss. Of course, I have to pair that up with a game of volleyball against the wall when I can, seeing as I don't have anyone to play badminton with here. Hmm... wonder if there's a club I could go to...

Argh. Then there's this diet... well, it's not exactly a diet but more of a list of things that I can't have: coffee, cabbage, eggplant, cold drinks, sour food, soft drinks, fat (pork, beef, chicken), salty food, food with preservatives, fried and oily food, food with coconut cream, salt water fish (I think), innards, legumes, rootcrops, shrimp, squid, crab. What else can I have?
