Lactose intolerance

I have this feeling that I'm lactose intolerant.

Maybe it's just me and it's just a coincidence that I seem to have trouble with gas, bloating, diarrhea after I've eaten ice cream or cereal with milk. Maybe I'm just imagine it and every time I do have these symptoms, I think of a dairy thing that I've had and attribute it to it. Maybe it is just me.

90% of Asians are lactose intolerant. That's 9 in 10. I'm Asian and that's a really damning statisitic for me. I would rather not be lactose intolerant. I don't want to go out and be tested for it though. I really suspect that I am and I suppose I could overload myself on milk, cheese and ice cream tomorrow and see how I feel afterwards (I am sorta tempted) but I don't think tomorrow will be a very good day if I do that...

I'm feeling kinda iffy right now from the milk from dinner right now... It was really bad earlier to the point where I just could stay up any longer and had to lie down.

But it might not have been the milk (though I really think it is). It might just be gas since I drank a lot of Pepsi today. And I probably gulped in a lot of air too. That would have just made it worse.

Or maybe I didn't cook the chicken right. Though I let it cook for so long, I really doubt anything could have survived on it. I'm really cautious about the meat I cook and always leave them on for a little too long. I'm not good at cooking meat and I don't do it often so when I do, I'm careful.

Seriously, I should overdose on dairy one day. That would definitely prove it. And no one has died being lactose intolerant before. I bet it'll only hurt for a day. But damn, that day would be so bad. I don't know. I would avoid dairy altogether but I love cheese and I love ice cream too much and I use milk in my cooking sometimes... And since the milk is going to expire in a few days, I'll have to exhaust it soon.

I think my intolerance is due to the fact that I stopped ingesting milk after elementary school... I could only tolerate chocolate milk and not much of that either... Back then, we never really ate all that much in the way of dairy and I refused to drink milk... All those years of lactose deprivation probably made it a bit worse... And now that I've thrown myself back into cheese and ice cream, my body probably can't take it.

Whatever. I just want the pain to go away. If it were a stomach cramp, life would be so much easier because I could take some aspirin for it and everything will be as right as rain. Except for the breaking out part. But if I limit myself to just one pill, I'll probably be okay. Probably.

Gonna go take a shower and then go to sleep... Sherry is dead... gah...

Wah!!!

Sherry luvs Diana-chan. *huggles*

*love love love, heart heart heart*

Diana-chan is teh bestest! She got me the theme song to Shine on You! It really is a nice song about school since the show is about a school. It's in Cantonese and it's sung by Hacken Lee and I would recommend it to everyone (the show too!):

*looks at the date* I am officially late. While I enjoy this little bit of extra freedom, I still wonder if I should be worried... It's been a while since I was late (I'm almost always a day or two early) but it's probably the whole extra stress with midterms coming up again... Probably.

Making ginko congee...

It's turning out well except I'm not sure how long I need to cook the ginko so that the toxin would not make me very sick.

And I've made too much. Again. I must figure out how much rice you're supposed to put in these things... I'm starting to think it isn't that much since I put in two cups of rice and I've made enough congee for an entire family to have seconds. Yes, it's really that much. I don't think I have that much tupperware to even store it all and I've already had a small snack/lunch thing. I had to get rid of the pasta I had last night that was sitting in a container so I could use said container. And now I'm going to polish off some soup so I can transfer the leftover soup into a smaller container so I could use the large on for my congee... Yes, I'm full. I don't really have room for the congee, even though it's my main lunch. :(

I'll try it though. I can't resist ginko. Sherry loves ginko so much but now she's a bit scared of it too... She knows too much... I would have been happier being oblivious, methinks.

United screwed me over again

I knew it would happen. I just knew it. Damn United! They changed the schedule on me again. I was supposed to depart from La Guardia at 6 AM, get to Denver at 8:10 and then get on another flight at 8:55 (close as it is) and then get into Portland at 10:09.

But then they changed the flight from Denver to Portland on me to a departure at 8:35 -- that's way too damn close. I just wouldn't be able to make it. God damn them. So I called them had the flight changed. Now I'm flying to Chicago and then to Portland. Why the hell does every time a flight of mine get changed, that I get sent to Chicago? I don't get it. Coincidence, probably. Still... It's not that bad. I leave La Guardia at the same time, get to Portland aroudn the same time... It's all good but...

They said they'll send me a confirmation email about it and that it'll be updated on the website. I'm refreshing like crazy and there's nothing! :( And I haven't gotten the email yet. :( I'm just going to worry about this until they do it. I need to know the specifics. God damn it.

I wonder if they got my email right... I spelled it out for him but sometimes people could be stupid. I don't know...I'll be checking it some more throughout the day...

Totally off topic but I don't think I'm cooking the ginko long enough... Maybe I should have boiled them beforehand?

...god, kill me...

I really, really, really, really, REALLY shouldn't.

But I am.

God damn it.

F4 is getting my fangirlyness all stirred up.

Why?! I don't even like them particularly much. :\ God damn that Wu Jian Hao. Why the hell did he have to be an F4 member? He's cute and very well built... Sherry can't help but go *pant drool* when she sees him... :( I want that song he sings in English in the first episode of Peach Girl. It's so well sung (his English is sooo good) and god, he makes me want to eat him when he sings like that.

I'm starting to really love Leehom Wang. He sang the OP to Peach Girl and it jumps on you. When I first heard it, I thought it was a little to slow for me but then when I stopped to read the lyrics and after I download it, it was like a sudden, intense feeling that this song is good. Sherry likes it so much. Look for it in a day or two. Right now I'm too enamoured by it to do anything with it.

Oh, SE7EN is so pop-ish (well, R&B pop), his songs reminds me of the BSB who kinda had the same style but not really. I just got "I just wanna be" and it's just sooo mainstream pop, it's scary. But I still like it. It makes me feel nostalgic for the good ol' days. :)
