One Monday morning, I suddenly felt a very sharp pain on my right side of the abdomen. I can't breath properly because it was painful. I did the breath in breath out method to slow down the pain but was not improving. I asked our company driver to bring me to the ER of Makati Med. I was having a corporate sales call at that time but I can't bear the pain.
Doctors at the Makati Med seems to treat my symptoms as not Emergency care but considered it as Primary Care. So I waited for my turn to be treated inspite of the very painful feeling. When It's my turn, the ER doctor interviewed me and did some examinations on my tummy. She said that appendicitis and gallbladder stone is not possible though my symptoms seems to point at those problems. She said that it has something to do with my GERD or Acid Redlux but I was not convinced.
I had an IV injection of Maalox but after an hour, I can still felt the same pain. I told them and they gave me another injection of PAntoloc. Both are medicine for the acid reflux which should cure the pain.
After an hour, I felt better. They gave me a medication for a week or two. Maalox, Pantoloc and Motillium.
I went to StLukes for another check up. My Internal Cardiologist told me that gas or acid reflux is at the middle of the abdomen and not on the right side. He precribe CBC, Urine and ultrasound of the whole stomach to rule out anything. He said that the stomach is composed of different organs so we have to check on everyone.
The result of the stomach and pelvic ultrasound came out negative, but my urine shows that I am diabetic....I'll discuss this on my next blog. he immediately referred me to an ENDO doctor and Gastro doctor.
Gastro doctor asked me to have another test....glucose test and test on my protein and liver.
I have not done those test but will surely blog about it as soon as I am done.

Milky Way Cafe
Milky Way has been a favorite cafe for me and hubby. Hubby described the place as the "Carinderia ng mga mayayaman". True enough that when you base it on the menu, you will find the usual tilapia, bangus, pakbet, Puto at Dinuguan and so forth. The restaurant is a direct competitor of the more popular Via Mare.
You will find the cafe at the corner of Paseo de Roxas and Arnaiz Street ( Pasay Road )in Makati. Together with it's sister restaurants...AZuthai, Tsukiji and..... The place is always busy during lunch and dinner everyday. They have a function room that could accommodate family and group gatherings. The restaurant decor is a modern Filipino design. The ambiance is very relaxing and intimate that only the sounds of the utensils are heard. No loud music and voices. Their center bar is very clean...another concern...their powder rooms are clean and very orderly.
Hubby ordered their Italian Sausage with fries and vegetable salad and I ordered their Milky Way Club Sandwich.
The Italian Sausage is so authentic that you get what you pay for. It's PHP 395.
My club sandwich is huge that you can share it with another 2 persons. The fillings were not
commercially prepared and very homemade so I liked it best. It is PHP 195.
We also ordered their best seller Halo Halo. It has the same ice quality with Razons, but their ingredients are more authentic, that you will taste the real Halo Halo. It's creamy and tasty.
Another favorite is their Rib Eye. It's the only steak that really melts the meat and the buttery tasteon your mouth.

TOAST BOX
To those coffee afficionados, you should try the coffee at TOAST BOX with branches located at Trinoma, Greenbelt 5 and Bonifacio Global City near St Lukes Hospital Global city. The lady at the cash register told me that they serve Singaporean coffee. True enough, almost all their patron that day were all Chinese.
Their branch at the BGC is small, white and cozy. It has limited area for around 20 people so it was very intimate.I was so impressed with the interior and their kitchen area. They have good and friendly staffs and delicious coffee selections.
I asked for their best seller and it was their brewed coffee which they call it KOPI. I don't like pure black so I ordered TEH which is KOPI with milk. They have other beverages aside from coffee. They have cold and hot malt with lemon, soya drink with gelo, iced lemon tea and they also serve meals in huge plates. It actually serve two persons.
I also saw how they prepared their coffee. It was entertaining just looking at the interior. So next time you have a chance visit them and try their Singaporean Coffee

Holiday Inn Galleria
Holiday Inn Galleria was the former Galleria Suite located in ADB Avenue Ortigas Center in Pasig City. I never have the chance to try this hotel because of the following reasons:
1. It is very far from my residence
2. The place looks crowded being located in an area connected to a skycraper, a big mall and a church and it is being highlighted by a flyover.
3. No good parking
4. Not so good structure
5. There are no good things to do.
Today the hotel is now the twin tower of Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza which connects at the 4th level.
I had the chance of trying the service of Galleria Suites last Fathers Day. I booked the free room that I got last Christmas 2010. I requested for high floor non smoking area. We were booked at the 22floor facing the Crowne plaza and below the swimming pool. It was a very nice
room. It has king size bed, LCD TV, complete toiletries, complimentary coffee and water and approximately I asked for the price of the room and it was PHP 5400 king bed with buffet breakfast for 2 persons. It was a good steal!

Fathers Day
We checked in at Holiday Galleria Suite for the Fathers Day. It was our first time to this hotel and I was surprised that it was not bad at all. They have friendly staff from the guard to the Front desk personnel who handles our checked in.
our request for a higher floor, non smoking area and good view were all granted. Thank you. When we enter our room which is a Deluxe King room, it was so spacious and very modern. I could compare it with the standard room of the Sofitel.
They have complete amenities and toiletries. You can even request for additional toiletries and beddings without extra charge. They have an iron and ironing board, complimentary water and coffee maker set. I was so happy that they also have a menu for their pillow! IF you want soft or feather soft. So fun!
The hotel is also very convinient because it is connected to the Robinsons Galleria Mall. We watched the last fullshow of Green Lantern without worrying of traveling back home. When we went back to the hotel, there was an event and I enjoyed looking at those beautiful gowns and dresses of the guests.
Early morning my daughter begged me that we go swimming. Pool closes at 8PM. Even though it's raining, we went swimming at 6AM and last for 3 hours. She really enjoyed the pool and that
made us go back for her birthday on the following month.
