Everyone has their different ways to stop hiccups. A few days ago I had hiccups, which was quite bad, and the normal ways didn’t work. Huh ? What do I mean by normal ways ? Well, you know :

1. Drink a lot of water.
2. Hold your breath for 30 seconds.

These were rather what I call my traditional ways that I always use to stop my hiccups. Sometimes it works in an instant, sometimes it takes a while to work. However, suprisingly, that day it didn’t work, because it was taking TOO long. I’ve been hiccup-ing for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, and it’s driving me crazy…Normally the longest would be half an hour.

Suddenly, I remembered one episode from Honey and Clover II that I watched showed a few new ways to stop hiccups. The method that are shown still involves water, but are rather unique :

1. Stretch your neck and try to drink water from the other side of the cup.
2. Take a glass of water, puts two chopsticks in a cross over it, and drink from each of the four areas that the chopsticks form.
3. Mix the glass of water with sugar ( 1 spoon ) and drink.

So, since I already tried my traditional methods, I decided to give these a shot. Obviously I can’t do the 1st one ( I doubt anyone can. ), so it’s between 2 0r 3. I couldn’t find any sugar, so in the end I had to use the second method. However, turns out to be that I don’t have chopstickes too…oh well, that’s easy. I just imagine that the chopsticks are there, and drink from the areas that the chopsticks are supposedly to form.

Slowly and slowly…

Hey, it stopped ! No, seriously it stopped ! Wow…I’m definitely going to add this method to my list. Next time I’m going to try the 3rd way, and if possible, the 1st way as well.

So, how do you stop your hiccups ? ;D

P/S: Just an update. I asked my brother to try the 3rd method, and hey ! It worked ! Now I have to try the 1st method.
