Another Hour I Can't Remember

Twelve years ago, I had a TEE (transesophageal echocardiogram). It's where a doctor slips down a camera through your throat. Yup, it's nasty and after the first time I never wanted to do it again.

My doctor ordered for me to do it. It's been eleven years since I had OHS, so my heart is due to be checked. I re-scheduled twice since I've been unstable and I was so anxious about the procedure. I bravely went for it today and just prayed.

The last thing I remember was the bitter taste of the throat numbing spray. I also saw the anesthesiologist injecting something in the IV. An hour later I woke up to a medtech doing a 2D echogram on me. I realized I didn't even see the doctor who did the TEE. I'm so glad I was sedated and didn't have to endure what I did 12 years ago. I'm just hoping my throat doesn't react badly. The doctor have me meds, so that you should help.

Resting for the next few days. The procedure is pretty invasive and my body needs to recover.

Our Muradito Experience

I had Muradito Home on my list of places to visit. They carry an array of useful items. I was curious because they have themed ceramic dinnerware. I also wanted to see whether their items are affordable.

It took a year before we went. I didn't really have anything to buy. My neighbor though makes really good ramen and we realized we didn't have bowls for ramen. That became my excuse, haha.

We went to their Alabang branch. We decided to go in the evening since warehouses tend to be hot. The first thing we saw was a cute cat grooming at the entrance. Beside it was a huge table with Christmas plates, mugs and other dinnerware. I think about half of the items were Christmas items.

The area was big and I was overwhelmed with the variety. Good thing they only had a few ramen bowls. We were able to choose quickly. 

As much as I wanted to buy Christmas themed stuff, the practical side of me won. I just wanted a quirky serving bowl that I could use all year round. So I just got something that would be useful and perfect for serving home cooked dishes. 

One thing we also decided to get were platitos. We only have three and they also don't match. We got three more that also don't match, haha. Each small plate only cost about PhP50. Not bad huh. 

The prices were affordable, even the cutesy serving bowls and plates. The options can be overwhelming, so it's useful to have a list of what you need before going.
