Hospital Boom Boom

I stopped blogging for a while due to some legit reasons:

1. My teammates and I attended a team building/planning session/storm camp a couple of weeks ago at Mimosa in Clark. We were given limited Internet access and did non-stop activities from 9AM to 11PM. Straight. 

2. Right towards the end of our 2-day camp, I noticed rashes growing all over my arms and thought they were just insect bites. They weren't itchy at all, but I started feeling dizzy and my dizziness eventually turned into severe headache.

3. When I got home late night Thursday (almost Friday midnight), I immediately sent myself to sleep. At about 3AM, I started vomiting. And vomiting. And vomiting. 

4. I stopped eating for a while, frightened because everything I eat becomes a vomit. Sorry.

5. I tried walking at home but my world just seemed to move around. I couldn't move. I couldn't eat. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't even tweet. I almost died. I was helpless.

6. We finally consulted a doctor on a Tuesday afternoon, the same day I decided to go back to work. My nose bled, and I was diagnosed with german measles. 

7. Two days have passed since I saw a doctor, my vomiting went back to its severe case. I threw up for not less than six times a day until my blood pressure dropped, my platelets and potassium decreased and my body did not stop shivering. 

8. They rushed me to the nearest hospital last Thursday night and stayed there until Tuesday night. I finished 12 bottles of IV, took antibiotics and skipped bath for five long days.

I'm trying to get my feet back to grooving. Thank you to to those who went to the hospital to see me, brought me food and sent their warmest regards and prayers via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and SMS. 

Maraming salamat! :)

100 Years of Nestle

Nestle will always be a part of the Filipino families' daily lives. I started drinking Milo when I was 3 because I don't like the way milk tastes. But just like any other kid, I made papak Nido when Mom's not around. Fresh milk and Bear Brand Sterilized Milk are such exemptions because I find it yummy. Growing up, I munched on Koko Krunch alone and when I finally had the chance to drink coffee, of course we had Nescafe and Coffeemate at home.

My other Nestle favorites are Fruit Selection Yogurt, Chuckie, Maggi Savor (haha, yes!), KitKat and Butterfinger. Safe to eat, nutritious, delicious.

Other than giving us "Good Food, Good Life", Nestle is also passionate about quality and is very committed to reach their consumers exactly the way their brands become everyday essentials. They make sure to touch our hearts.

For their 100th year as the leading nutrition, health and wellness company, Nestle Philippines has made a mark yet again with their newest TVC: 

 

The very first time I saw this TVC, it made me teary-eyed. I even thought it's for Nido alone. Omg, whoever conceptualized and directed this TVC is a genius! Not to mention the part where the couple got married.. very 90's! I clearly remember the style of the groom's barong and the bride's teased hair--my favorite part. Watch it all over again you'll see Nestle's most famous brands like Bear Brand, Milo, Nido, Nescafe, Coffeemate and Nestea. I hope I didn't miss any here. :) Plus, plus, plus! The song will really make us cry. Aww. ♥

Thank you and congratulations, Nestle Philippines! More power and continue to uphold the values of good food and good life! :)
