A day after the annual Give a Gift from the Heart Christmas gift giving event, I decided to stay home to rest before heading to Manila to celebrate Christmas with my side of the family. However, I experienced flu like symptoms and had to delay the trip. Four days have passed (December 26th) and I still don't feel okay to travel so I went to the see the doctor and as expected, I was advised to take antibiotics (co-amoxiclav) for 7 days and another meds for colds. The meds made me feel better along with malunggay soup and I was able to travel to Makati for the visa appointment.
On January 1st we headed to Makati for our visa appointment at the embassy the next day.
We stayed at the Green Sun Hotel which we booked in Agoda and paid in 7-11.
I was advised to come back on January 3rd for
another check-up. I had lab tests and I was relieved I was not anemic,my kidneys are okay and my lungs are clear thank God. I had to take another 7-day antibiotics dose because of UTI and scheduled the routine urinalysis and consultation on January 13th. I went hiking (link for Maynuba) on the last day of taking my meds which was a Saturday so I made sure I took them - strictly not on an empty stomach. I tried to eat a rice meal early in the morning after hours of traveling in the van, I tried so hard not to puke everything I've eaten hahaha.

So the results were okay and I have to maintain what the antibiotics have cleared by eating clean and having less coffee. I have cut down on colas for many years but have not really avoided coffee. But these days I limit myself to one cup a day in the morning from 4 cups a day! I was also given cranberry pills as supplement.
Also, when I look back, I can say that it probably was for the best since we had to review for the APLA NTS final exams set January 10th. So we had plenty of time listening to the recordings of the three-day class and focused on reading Luke and Acts which was a great experience to me.
Anyway, I am planning to visit my family this February.
That sums up our holidays!
