Us Being Pigs | Yakimix 2.0

I know I told you that this would come right after this blog post but I don't know why I felt like doing a review on CL's new music video. Anyhow. This is really unexpected, you guys. Had I known that we're gonna eat there, I wouldn't have had breakfast. So the branch we went to is at SM North Edsa which I surely didn't see before but my cousin told me she saw it and stuff so yeah. I actually had experience eating here before and I enjoyed it and I thought I wanted to share that experience with my cousin so we went.


We probably took all the prawns in this particular tray because I remember telling my cousin how I am craving for it and that I wanted to go to Yakimix just because of that. But at the end, we thought that it's not really a brilliant idea since it took time for us to open the shell and eat the thing. It's only bad because we only have a limited time to eat. Somehow.


I think we were able to try at least 90% of the raw food because the food that I didn't get on my plate was on my cousin's and we actually share the things we get. Not so much on the cooked food because I feel like we can have it somewhere else. I think. And when I asked my cousin to get us the cooked food, she was like, "never mind".


One piece of advice I could give you is to probably go light with your meats. SEAFOOD ALL THE WAY! Can I just say that I'm pretty sure we swept away that rolls with veggies as well. 


Our first plate! My cousin was the one doing the grilling and when I was turning the food, and like tossing them like frying stuff, she was like, don't do that! The spicy stuff would mix with the normal ones and I was like, AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT! Because whatever you do, that thing would happen. Don't even bother segregating.


Okay I have a kwento. Our friend Diana is supposed to join us but she can't make it unless it's like a holiday, dinner, or weekends. And the thing is the fee is kind of different in all those situations so I was like, we can't probably make it all together. Here's the deal. The buffet fee is 520 php on weekdays except holidays and higher on weekends and holidays of course and then when it's dinner, weekends, or holidays, you have to pay an extra to avail their all-you-can-drink promo so it's really better if it's lunch, non-holiday, and weekday. Hooray!


Cousin's face! LOL. She's like talking to the stuff on her plate and it's as if she's telling them something like, "just be patient." Okay I'll stop. LOL.

HEAVEN ON EARTH
I also have a kwento on this. My cousin's in charge of the grilling, right? I was then the one taking food for us and she was like, SUSHI! And then when I was getting stuff from this boat, the guy standing there was literally making me feel like I'm getting too much. Not in a bad way or something but he was like asking the chef to make more of the sushi I'm getting while I'm getting it. Oh well. I probably got 4 of each kind so we could have 2 each.


As much as I loved their desert, I was a little bit disappointed because the way they displayed it on the mini bar thing isn't as sophisticated as the one in Robinson's but anyways. The Blueberry Cheesecake is probably my favorite. Which is not on the picture by the way.

Urgent! But NOT SO Urgent | But Urgent Enough

My cousin was just playing around with the hospital gown and she's actually not the one hospitalized.

Spent overnight at the hospital with my cousin to watch over my lola because she wasn't feeling really good the other day. She got fever and just felt generally unwell. And then we thought that she'll start dialysis already because the agreement was that when we go to this particular hospital, she would undergo dialysis na because she need it na but then my mom and lola are still hesitant to start it because as I've told you before, once it started, there's no turning back. My mom asked the doctor if we can check the creatinine again and compare to the previous result and see whether it drastically went high or if it remained the same. It was STAT so I know that it wouldn't take too long for us to know the results. I must admit that I really got excited when I saw a tackle box containing tubes and syringes because you know, I kind of miss doing it. Anyways. When I asked the nurse on duty for the results, he willingly checked it, relayed the result to me (creatinine) and stuff and he again willingly gave to me. Awesome nurse he is. Thank you nurse! Also, except for the sometimes noisy girl nurses who are kind of irritating, I guess everyone's kind of awesome. It's really kind of difficult (somehow) to experience your relative being a patient because you know, more or less, you know what these medical practitioners are doing. Oh the dietitian was also nice and she explained and answered almost everything my mom and lola asked and then she was asking some questions to us to before she explain stuff and then of course not bragging or anything but I would answer and then she would be like, are you a valedictorian? And I was like, I'm a med-tech and she was like, OH. Funny. Maybe I look like a freshie or something


Her potassium level is right at the middle of the normal range so that's really nice. And even though it went down, which is kind of nice, her creatinine is still sky high. I really hope it would go down. Like, please? I found out that there are four priorities in dialysis. A being the most urgent and D being the least. My grandmother as you may have seen in the collage above is at priority B. Since we're kind of delaying the dialysis process, I hope it (crea) would go down the level her body is okay with. 

Moving right along, I generally like it in that hospital. Although it really took us a little bit too long waiting outside the admission room because we were waiting for a vacant semi private room (as requested by her physician) but it turned out that there's no one going out so we have no choice and my grandma was admitted in a 6 bed female ward which is kind of small with one hospital bed and a long couch sort of but it's really nothing like the two hospitals I interned. It's enclosed with curtains which gave us a little privacy but then again the other patients  and their relatives are noisy so it's kind of annoying, really. But interesting at the same because you know! If you're talking loud enough, then you're letting us hear it so my cousin and I were like eavesdropping  to death. And laughing to death if I may add. I feel bad for my lola for hearing not so good stuff though. Losing hope, and stuff like that. 

Can I just say though that particular hospital is kind of a complicated place and there's so many bridges and stuff like that so it's kind of tiring going in and out the hospital. Also my cousin weren't able to sleep until about 3 am. NOT ME! Since I'm an expert sleeper in awkward positions, I was able to take 3 short short naps on the couch and then I was able to sleep 6 hours straight beside my lola because I'm a pro like that. I feel sorry for my cousin because at around 1 am, I guess. She asked me if I'm using the blanket because that place is really mad cold at night and then I answered ALL THE TIME. And then she fell silent. Why though? Are they trying to inactivate the viruses or what? My lola is feeling okay now which is a good sign. I just hope she would stay that way. She'll go out of the hospital tomorrow. I'm home now but maybe I'll go back laters. Good vibes! :)

I Got It From My Momma

If you're like me that is too lazy to restock all the things you have to restock until you run out of it and most probably, your awesome mom would do the job for you, then we must change soon! But now, I just want to show you guys what my mom gave me. Because she's awesome like that. Also, doing this haul makes me m̶o̶r̶e̶ organized so I MUST! If your mom is like that, congrats! If not, congrats as well. 


This is random so I put them all together. I got two foot socks that I probably won't be using as much considering I won't be wearing school shoes anymore but I promise to wear them on my MTLEX. That will go for 2 days so yay! 


I don't know why I got two sample size perfumes but I hope they're good so I would be able to use them both! :) Or I'll probably just give it to my cousin because her sense of smell is weird like that! :D


So far I'm loving the smell but I don't know. I'm actually liking the idea of having many sample bottles now because in the future, I want to have a permanent scent or maybe two so having many samples would really help me choose. 

BEER MATCH! :D

Snacks! I like the idea that I have almonds so after I eat these stuff, I could just eat my almonds and not feel guilty. Except of course the gums and the candies because I really don't like them and i just eat them when I feel like it so yeah.


Green Tea Kit-Kat! I swear by it. Actually it's one of the two things I asked my mom to buy me. Because I love it like that.


The other thing I asked my mom to buy me is a tinted lip balm because I don't know I feel like I haven't found the right one for me yet because even though I have quite a lot of it, I'm still searching for the right product or maybe I'm just a sucker for lip balms. Just like what I said before. So whatevs. Mom also got me some oil blotting papers. What are you trying to say, woman? LOL. I KNOW! :D 


That's it for this haul guys I hope you are having fun! :)
