The Price of Free Soda

I don't like sodas. Haven't drank it for a very long time. I prefer having juice -- water, even -- as chaser when I'm drinking liquor. But I went to a restaurant today, ordered a Filipino meal, and got a soda as a free treat. I decided against drinking it but they don't offer service water, so I told myself I'd just drink when I get home.

And so I drank water upon reaching the house. But why, oh why, is this country so freakin' hot?? Water is not enough, and I want to drink something cold. Very cold. And I don;t have anything in the fridge except the free can I got earlier this day.

So I went for it.

And now, I have this disgusting gas in my stomach. It's difficult to breathe. It's like something is trapped in my air passage. I wanted to burp it away, fart it away if I can, but it's just there. And I don't want to sleep yet, afraid that maybe I will stop breathing while I lie down on my sheets.

I think I need to go to the hospital.
