Liver Talk

Today, I (re)started my no-rice diet. No, it’s not a no-carb diet. I still had pandesal for breakfast. For the lack of green salad in Jollibee Cybermall, I ordered fries. I know that French fries is a lame substitute for greens but it’s still a vegetable and it’s not like there are better (or healthier) choices at four in the morning.

I am trying to integrate fruits into my life gradually. I’ve made a commitment to have at least one serving of fruit a day. This time, I’m serious. Promise. It’s not just because I want to trim down. I watched something about liver disease on telly a few days ago and it scared me. I’ve been eating junk for over twenty eight years. I am poisoned and I want to detoxify. The do-it-yourself cleansing processes are intimidating. Look up coffee enema and liver flush and you’ll see what I mean. I am not sure if I am ready for the enema but I will definitely try the flush. Just need to figure out when to start and where to get Epsom salts.

As a part of my healthy liver campaign, I have also (re)started taking glutathione. According to the doctor from that show I watched, it really does good to the liver. I thought that glutathione was just for skin whitening. Doc says healthy, glowing skin is a reflection of a healthy liver. I was getting breakouts recently, so now is really the perfect time.

Living healthy is expensive.

On Krispy Kreme, Flooding And Overtime


I just searched Google and found out that Krispy Kreme Doughnuts is located at the Fort. They have a second store in SM Megamall. I was hoping to taste these infamous doughnuts during my rest day but I was looking in the wrong place. My teammate mistakenly advised for me to visit Tiendesitas.

I don’t feel so well. I feel like I’m about to come down with the flu. I’ve had very little sleep these past three days. I woke up at 12:00AM today. My shift started at 10:30PM last night. I’m not sure how my new boss will take this. Anyway, I thought of going on half day (which will make my shift start at 3:30AM), but when I thought of my day’s tasks, I forced myself up and got to work at 1:00AM.

My throat hurts. I’m on my third bottle of water. My water container stores 800ml of liquid. This is really good. I’ve been flooding my body with water for the past week, hoping it would help remove toxins and clear my skin. Naturally, this “flooding” therapy has increased my toilet trips. Sometimes I have to pull my pants down before I can even fully close the cubicle door.

My cleansing attempt has also brought an old pal back in our medicine cabinet… Super Colon Cleanse. It’s a fiber supplement that guarantees regularity. And boy, are they good with their promises. I used to be constipated but this baby is “depleting” me at least five times a day. I think I’ve only been on it for three days. I hope to see and feel results in a couple of weeks.

Outlook is down. Or at least my server is down. I can’t get much of my work done. My means of communicating with my team is either by passing around notes, or through sign language. The mute function in our Avaya units have been disabled on purpose so crosstalk is not an option.

Our big boss approached me to ask for overtime commitments from my team. The team did a great job today, hitting our ACD quota of 120 calls with still two hours left before the end of our shift. I’ve offered the team members free breakfast in exchange for rendering an hour of overtime but nobody seems interested. I guess that people are just exhausted.

I’m exhausted and I’m not handling calls. I just hope that O.T. season ends soon for the sake of peace and harmony.
