Gastrics hits at 4am

My gastric strikes me at 4am this morning..
feeling in pain and cold...
I changed into long pants and wore my socks and put on a jacket. Off the fan..
took my gastric medicine and curled up half sitting and laying with the quilt over me.

It took 2-3 hours for medicine to take effect. By then I was way too exhausted dozed off to sleep..
Missed my working wake up time..
Decided I should go see doctor instead..cuz actually wanted to go see doctor only at nite after work...I think can't drag any longer...

First thing that came to my mind when I was in pain 4am this morning was not myself.
I prayed for my baby niece...I scare that I had spread the flu virus to her unknowingly sat nite when I babysit her in the hospital over nite. Pray that she will be fine. Thank God mother is there to look after her from today on at my brother's place..They were discharged yesterday. Today my elder brother has his exam..hope he does well as usual cuz he doesn't have time to rest and prepare.

Went to Ler Clinic just a few block near my place. I love Dr. Ler, she is a lady doctor and I am more comfortable to be seen by woman.
Dr. Ler explained that our body produce less acid at nite and more in the morning.
How can I have attrack in the morning? What did I do? Did I skip my meals? Or I got upset and too stress up? I guess my answer was number two. And lack of rest.

Thank God my gastric medicine save me. Dr Ler said the medicine I have is very good. It cuts down the acid level. But its slow. She said my gastric is bad..cuz it strikes at nite..when its acid level should be lowest.
She said next time take Gelusil first as it acts fasters but not lasting.. then half an hour later eat my gastric medicine A-Famotidine (20mg).
She counted the number of tablets I left and ask me to be good girl and finish all in 4 days time. Eat 2 times a day. One tablet each time.
She then prescribe cold medication and cough medication for me..knowing I hate to suck those pills..She wanted to give my anti-biotic for my woman problem..but scare my gastric cannot take it. So she let me use cream instead.

She is very thotful. That's what I like about her. She will never let me buy extra medicine which I already have. And she always charge cheaper rate for low income working person. Very nice of her.

Time to rest.
Nite nite
pray that my boss and collegue won't be unhappy of me on MC again..(last time on MC i think is 3 months ago or what.)

Final Destination of Everyone

Money often deceive us, leading us to forget we will die some day. Poor people will die, Rich people will also die.
In the bible, it says to the Rich, today your life will be taken from you, what will happen to the riches you have stored up for yourself.
So be Wise- store up for yourself treasures in heaven which never rot as it has eternal value.
Our stay in this world is but only max. hundred over years..
but compare to life in eternity after death, what seems long here is but only a grain in heaven.

My Zodiac

Angeline's Zodiac Sign - TAURUS

9 may Taureans never slap or sting. Rather, they creep up on you, affect you deeply and leave their indelible impression on your soul. Think of Taurus as a long sensual kiss. A huge tender bear hug. Or an eiderdown on a cold alpine night. Taureans are warm (but sometimes stodgy) customers.

Many Taureans work with their hands. Even if a Taurus is a computer expert and seems more cerebral than manual, nine times out of ten there is a hidden craft or hobby lurking behind the scenes. Taureans enjoy forging beautiful things from natural materials. In fact, they are attracted to all sorts of beauty. Music thrills them. Flowers enchant them. The countryside seduces them. And art is their natural habitat.

Taureans are forever building their own workshops and renovating barns and old churches. They are not only home-loving, they like to get their hands into the cement and slather on the plaster, if only for the tangible joy of playing in the mud.

Taureans do not take kindly to sudden change. They like to be wherever they are supposed to be when it is time to be there. Taureans readily adjust to routine and for that reason make fabulous employees. Precipitous and unexpected events requiring flexibility and resilience may cause Taureans to dig in their hooves and refuse to budge. Bulls are obstinate and determined to hold their ground. It is wiser not to try to talk Taurus out of a sulk. Just let him paw the earth and snort and seethe on his own. Take a tranquilizer and a walk. Soon, when the inevitable becomes blatantly inevitable, Taurus will budge of his own accord, come out of his sulk and go with the flow.

Sensuality belongs to Taurus. Wherever there is pleasure you will find a Taurean plunk in the middle of it all. They love to bask in the "good life." Taureans cannot resist the tug of the opposite sex. When an attractive newcomer arrives on the scene, count on Taurus to see to it that the outsiders have a drink, are made comfortable and have slipped Taurus a telephone number or two.

Taureans are amorous and romantic without being flighty or maudlin. They are tender and don't mind public displays of affection. Love and all of its expressions appeal to the Bull. Taureans can be counted on to stray a bit where sex is concerned, but they never flaunt their infidelities and usually avoid sticky extracurricular entanglements. If you love a Taurus, feed him.
