So I've been sick since...Wednesday. I would say Thursday but Wednesday was when I began feeling the symptoms - sore throat, stuffed nose in the morning, etc. It sucks cause I'm on a streak! Last year or two years ago, there was a time when I would get sick every two months but since my mom started this whole "drink freshly squeezed orange or grapefruit juice every morning and my dad continuing it with lemon since my mom left" thing in February, I have NEVER gotten sick since! Strangely enough, while I was out on Wednesday buying some corn and other stuff for this BBQ my friend was having in honour of Game 7 of the NBA Playoffs with the Lakers VS Celtics, a friend of mine called. We had plans the next day but we had to cancel because he began to feel sick. I began telling him about what my parents were making me drink and he seemed skeptical about it. I told him that I have not gotten sick so it must be working. Ironically, I got super sick on Thursday night. -o- I'm still not well yet but I did get considerably much better on Friday (but only on Friday it seems since I went back to medium sickness yesterday and today).
Anyway, here are Izzy's go-to remedies to getting healthier:
1. SLEEP for at LEAST 16 hours the first day.
-> Like I said, I got considerably much better on Friday despite having such a terrible night on Thursday. My cold was gone the whole Friday!
2. Neocitran
-> Love this stuff. Relieves the stuffy nose =)
3. Tylenol Extra Strength
-> Helps you sleep longer
4. Buckley's
-> The menthol in it clears the sinus area, thus allowing you to breathe better.
-> I know it tastes horrible but it works. Okay? Suck it up and don't be such a fucking pussy.
5. Hot water w/ sliced ginger. and lots of it.
-> Water is always good but ginger gives it that extra kick. Didn't they say that ginger is good for you anyway? =P
6. Warm clothes
-> I always wear a scarf, thick socks and long sleeves to bed whenever I'm sick whether it's summer or not. It helps to sweat it out o: Especially when you have a fever
7. Tissue
-> Obviously! To blow your nose and wipe with =)
8. Linen change
-> Indeed. Change your linens after to get rid of the bacteria in your room -o-;
-> Cleaning your actual room helps too!
And there you have it! I hope you guys take this advice in the future (or some of it) and get better quicker =)
I'll be posting again soon regarding the NBA finals + that day and my upcoming grad! ^_^

Wow..seriously?! I'm such a pig =__=
Okay so Saturday..I had like, 3 birthday parties to attend =_= Then today, I went to eat at Thai Garden with my fam after watching the NBA playoffs ._. Sad LA lost but they'll come back in home court! =D So here's a debriefing of Saturday:
Lunch: All-You-Can-Eat @ Kingsway Sushi [12-2PM]
WOW. All you can eat Japanese overload much?! Crazyyyyyy! It was a birthday party for these two little cute kiddies. Two sisters, one turned 6 and the other turned 4. SOOO cute! x) Their birthday cake was to die for. The parents got it from this cupcake place so yeah. Cream cheese frosting in between and a perfect buttercream frosting. Normally, I hate buttercream icing/frosting cause it's too heavy and think and just gross =/ But this time, it was perrrrrrfect!
Dinner: Home party @ Surrey [7-8:30PM]
Okay so this one was pretty boring =( I didn't eat that much since I was still so full from the day before AND lunch @_@ Also, I wasn't too fond of their family because they kinda seem nosy to me =/ I just really wanted to get out. Luckily, my youth fam bam saved me just in time! Thanks to my dad for being so nice about it =)
Late night: Home party @ Langley [9:30-11:30PM]
One of my youth fam had her birthday last week and we went to her house and celebrated along with her family. We were pretty late but we still managed to be there and not be TOO late. We bought 20 ice cream sandwiches and 20 candles and then we stacked them in a pyramid of 6,5,4,3,2 and yeah. Douche cake apparently o_O But yeah, it was fun =)
Late LAATE night: Boston Pizza's @ Surrey [11:30PM-1:15PM]
We left her house with everyone that came and met up with this other guy at BP's. Apparently, he was really hungry so yeah. Not many people ate. L beside me bought some Pizza Bread. C to L's right bought some NY style cheesecake with raspberry sauce. Yum yum. Had a bite of it =P Then N (the hungry guy) had some Chicken Thai Bites and some pasta dish. RdC had something...totally didn't pay attention and then R had some Apple Crisp dessert. Anyway, while they were eating, W and I were playing Jenga. It got pretty heated. Like, we had 4 or 5 single blocks in a row n_n It was funny too cause I used my long nails to hammer at some blocks wahahhahaha. Then it fell on him. We played again with 3 people this time and the tower collapsed on W. H and I won =D
And yeah. C drove me home. Poor dude was so tired that he wasn't tired at all @_@; I owe him big time. In any case, I'll give profiles of my friends in a post sooner or later =) They're all very cool people!

Can I eat anymore?! -__-
So...another eating post. Talk about crazy haha. I do have pictures but I'm too lazy to upload them D: Okay so tonight, I chilled with the youth fam bam again. We were gonna do Korean BBQ at this place near Coquitlam Centre but they doubled the prices since I was last there =_= Pissed me off. Anyway, we ended up at ASAHI in Port Coquitlam beside the 7-11. All the guys and I went with the all-you-can-eat while these four other girls went with the usual chicken teriyaki (seriously guys? EXPAND YOUR PALATES. FUCK D: there's other things than chicken teriyaki =__= ) Yep. All-you-can-eat Japanese.
At the end, this guy named JR mixed his over wasabi'd soy sauce with the ginger that was not touched and the raining mound of wasabi on this huuuge plate where all the makis were placed (the restaurant really piled high on the garnish n_n ) and I ended up daring R to eat a part of it. JR got him to eat a teeny piece but I called him a pussy when he refused to eat an even bigger portion and he ended up eating it. Crazy boy hahahaha. n_n;;
We had slurpees afterwards cause the waitress couldn't hear my voice and we were all really thirsty by the time we left =( Then we chilled at M's place cause it was nearby and we played some CoD4, took pics on M's iMac and made some videos. JR and L passed out hahahaha xD I managed to stay up with W and R was half and half. Our hosts M and IA HAD to stay awake of course but yeah. ORP came in somewhere with her two cousins. Kinda awk. Didn't really talk to her <_<; But yeah...
Cost around $24 tonight. Pretty good. Just that my stomach is soo full and it's gurgling and whatnot @_@; I did not even feel like this last week after that large BP pizza. The efff?

Roman numerals def ain't working out
I give up on the roman numerals. Too hard n__n
So today, I had to undergo a gum grafting procedure. For those of you who don't know what it is or can't make out what it is just by the name, here's a link to a website explaining what it is.
It's been about 9hours since the end of the procedure. After 3 hours of napping, I found two small patches of blood + saliva on my pillows. Probably from drooling while sleeping haha. I did not feel much pain at all when I woke up so it isn't that bad. Took me about an hour to eat my dinner which consisted of a mix of brown rice and white rice and beef caldereta (a Filipino dish. kind of like beef stew but with a different taste). I cut up the beef in a few different sizes to test my limits on chewing and eventually found the perfect size! A .125mm^2 cube lolololol. After a few bites, the pain kicked in and it really hurt T_T; Not sure how but yeah. Eventually, things are okay now =) Def some minor swelling but it is not noticeable at all.
No pictures to show because that's just gross.

Just got back from eating out with the youth fam bam. They came over and we had practice since we're performing tomorrow at another church. Started around 8PM and ended around 10PM then we went out to eat at Boston Pizza which lead to my now, 3-month pregnant look-alike stomach -o-;
So, 11 of us (originally 13 but 2 left) were sitting there wondering what to eat then this conversation came up across the table.
R: Dude, I should order a large pizza.
W: You totes should dude! But you probs can't finish it.
I: Are you kidding me? He ate a large piece of steak AND finished off J's wings two weeks ago. He can finish it.
W: Dude, did you know in sushi, he can eat $23 worth?!
I: Pshh. $23? That's not alot. Pshhh.
W: Oh yeah?
I: Yeah. Y'know what, I'll order one large pizza too.
W: Okay. It's a competition then between R and I.
R: WHAT?!
Then yeah. We had more back and forths then I eventually got persuaded into doing it.
Guess who won?
:D
6/12 slices for me.
9/12 slices for R.
But R gave up.
So I win! :D
Yeah. That's actually really gross. I don't know if guys are turned off by that or if they like girls who can eat a lot <_<; Yeah. LOL. Add another 5 lbs. to the already 10 lbs. that I gained this past few months -___-;
Anyway, I love my youth fam bam =)
Coming up soon...
