Mrs. Unemployed

And so yesterday, I finished up working with my company of 4 years. I wouldn't say I was happy about it, after all, it provided my family bread and butter since 2011, but I was somehow relieved from all the dramas and stress at work. Though I am now officially part of the 7% unemployed folks in the Philippines, is now a PAL (n: palamunin) by profession and due to give birth in a months time, I think I don't have much choice but to enjoy this "career" for a while.

Now I can take my OB's "bed rest" advice more seriously.

Simple Joy: To Use the Toilet

I've been on bed rest for more than a week now and only Wednesday morning, I had to be confined in Capitol Medical Center cause of pre-term labor. It was a hell of an experience to stay for almost 12 hours in the delivery room and listen to women moan/complain about their contractions, etc. The dextrose on my right hand limited my movement and made me feel more uncomfortable than the contractions in my tummy. Oh yeah, add the steroids that they injected on my left and right arm (it was needed to speed up the development of my baby's lungs, in case the baby comes out premature), it stings!
