rain and an update

it is raining today and it is the first day of the new month, november. time flies really fast. it seems like it was just yesterday when i was writing about me getting a year older again…and now it comes again. i am bothered about getting old, this is circle of life. besides, adding one to your age every year is a blessing, a proof that you have just been given another year to be a better person and make the lives of those around you a bit better too. i hope i am living up to that. …and just an update on my lower back pain, i consulted another doctor to which i showed my x-ray results. he gave me another kind of pills (these don’t make me dizzy) and recommended some physical therapy sessions. i’ve had 3 sessions so far and i can feel that it’s working. i hope by the end of next week when i’ve finished all the 6 sessions, things will be normal again. that’s about it so far. oh by the way, the 2nd sem starts on monday, huhuhu. time flies really fast. i hope this sem is as good as the ...

high

i am currently groggy right now. it feels like my head is detached from my body. it’s like i’m high on drugs. and i am taking one, as per doctor’s prescription. you see, the right side of my body feels numb at times and i couldn’t walk straight, or sit or stand or walk for long periods of time because it hurts. anyhow, my friends prodded me to go to a doctor and i finally did after some time. the doctor said it was nothing serious. he prescribed two kinds of pills (which cost a lot) and advised me to have my lumbar area x-rayed (pelvis with the spine). the pill that i’m supposed to take in the morning and evening would make me feel sleepy and groggy according to him. and the pills did and do. it’s fine with me even if it makes me really uncomfortable because it lessened the pain. being sick really costs a lot so please take care of yourselves everyone and be healthy. eat the right kinds of food, exercise when you can and don’t stress yourself too much. the high feeling is wearing off...

the moment of truth

there is this show on starworld called the moment of truth. participants are attached to a lie detector machine (polygraph test) while they need to answer 21 increasingly personal questions. if they answer truthfully (as determined by the polygraph test), their chances of getting more money increases. the questions can be as personal as “have you ever cheated on your wife?” with the wife in front, or “have you stuffed your underwear to make you look more endowed?” i don’t really watch it regularly but it’s an interesting show whenever i catch it. one unforgettable episode was the replay episode i was able to watch yesterday. the participant was rey hernandez from california. he got married at 16 and his mom was against the marriage and his wife. some of the questions were “have you ever resented your mother for the way she treated your wife, have you ever resented your mother for attending your wedding dressed in black, can you ever forgive your parents for not accepting Maria as your...

addiction and yahoo anwers resurrection

yesterday night, i was about to sign off because my arms were aching, not because of too much work but because of my current addiction to the speed typing challenge which is an application in friendster. in this application, you are shown words continuously and you should type in the box as many of the words as you can in 60 seconds. i’d been ‘playing’ it for maybe 1 and 1/2 hours. this does not include the times when i’ve ‘played’ it throughout the day. the highest score i’ve gotten so far is 520. i will ‘play’ it some more in the coming days and hope to reach a score which will put me at least within the 100 above rank (is this wishful thinking?). while waiting for the ‘play again’ in speed typing challenge to load, i answered some questions at yahoo answers. i haven’t been able to answer for quite some time now. i just got tired of it for a while because there were so many questions which are the same. anyhow, i was not answering for the points, just for the fun of it and sometime...
