Memory Failure

What a shame. My memory is failing at such an early age. It all started when I got pregnant. And now I'm still suffering from it. There have been countless times that I humiliated myself because of this. At first I thought It was really funny. But now? Oh man! It's killing me.

My wrist watch have been missing for weeks. I really don't know where it is. The only thing that I remember quite vividly was that I was wearing it the last time and all of a sudden it's gone. I have searched everywhere in the house but I couldn't find it anymore.

Just last week, I lost my necklace ( at least that's what I thought). I almost cried because I've had it for five years and I had just gotten it back from the pawnshop. I remember putting it in my pocket and then suddenly it's gone. I don't even remember what happened next. I'm not sure if I wore it or not. I thought I lost it at my grandma-in-law's house because that was the last place I went to. My husband helped me find it all over the house. And he did find it lying on the floor in the kitchen. Thank God he found it!

There's also a time when I thought I lost the 1,000 bucks I put in my pocket. I went home from work, changed clothes and then all of a sudden I remembered that I had money in my pocket so I grabbed my pants again and frantically searched for the one-thousand peso bill. But the pockets were empty! I almost cried because that's the only money that I had at the time. I swear, nanghinayang talaga ako at nainis sa katangahan ko. Ang sama ng loob ko.

Then a few minutes later, just when I had accepted it was gone and wasted, I saw the bill lying on top of my dresser. I was shocked! Because I don't even remember putting it there! Whoa. Shame on me! My husband gave me the I-really-think-I-should-take-you-to-the-doctor kind of look. He shook his head and said, "Grabe na yang pagka-ulyanin mo ha!". Then he joked, "Baka naman isang araw e magising ka na hindi mo na rin ako kilala tas tanungin mo ako kung sino ako?!".

I tried remembering what happened but I couldn't. I just came up to a conclusion that maybe I put the bill on my dresser before I took my pants off. And I totally forgot about it. Yeah, maybe that's what happened. Otherwise, how on earth will I find it there?

There are also times that I would forget things that I had just said. How pathetic. Then I would ask the person I was talking to, "Have I said that? Really?". Ngeek.

Anyway, I have quite a long list of instances where I had forgotten lots and lots of things. Somehow I'm blaming it on the Spinal and General Anaesthesia that the doctors used on me when I gave birth almost nine months ago.



WALA PA RING KURYENTE!

It's been a week since power supply went dead. And sad to say, it's still frickin' dead right this very moment! I'm losing my sanity. Water supply went back two days ago. Good enough.

We've been staying at my mom-in-law's house for a couple of days now. They have a generator so at least our condition is really not that bad compared to others.
