Pitstop: Biggest Drama

I messed up big time.

My return flight was 830pm of Jan7. I ate too much and drank too much fish soup that afternoon at home because of my mom's persistence, hard to resist a warm goodbye. I boarded the plane around 8pm. It was already my 3rd time and yes, I still cried. I previously thought that I will get numb eventually from all the frequent departing but somehow my weak side is still surfacing during times like this. I cried so hard again, who cares nobody knows me anyway. It was a very enjoyable vacation, I do miss Manila and the lovely bits and people.

So around 10pm during the flight, I felt a sudden surge of hunger. This being a budget airline, there is no food served and no cooked food sold. I ordered cup noodles, btw it was the most expensive Nissins cup noodles I bought for 100php. Probably it's a mix of too much liquid inside my stomach + a little joggling from turbulence + some depression too, that after 30minutes of gulping the noodles, I could feel my stomach churning. I know something's bad about to happen.

Later I felt cold sweats and goose bumps. I went straight to the restroom and threw up. Nausea, I messed up big time. I went back to my seat. The same thing happened for about thrice or four times, frequenting the lavatory, until I emptied the whole cup of noodles. Nakakahiya! My apologies to the aircraft crew.

After check-out, I think I was only 70% conscious and shivering. I didnt know how I managed to drag myself to queue in the taxi stand, and how I managed to sms my family that I arrived SG. Thank God I reached home safe.

So the next thing to expect after vomiting is none other than lbm. Food in = garbage out. Whatever I eat becomes garbage out. haay there was even one morning I had severe hyperacidity that I had to take Zantac (a very strong antacid) I am a druggie.

One of the things I fear about living alone is getting sick. :(

I think I wont be touching any cup noodles for a year, and I'd better be taking normal timed flights except for long trips.

It's quite true what other OFWs would say that frequent vacation is not a good practice. Well because you tend to backslide, that's going back to zero, start from scratch, new adjustment. Strong withdrawal syndrome. Homesick. But I still want to have frequent vacations back in my 'home'! Give me some more days to recover, both health and emotions.
