I'm outta here!

posting via ping.fm on my n96. Testing, testing. 1, 2, 3...

My other home

Still on hiatus until further notice...

Adieu...

It's been a good couple of years (well, not so good towards the end of it and I doubt if I'll bother writing about it). Finally realized what was causing the migraine and I feel I'm cured of it. I feel I'm going to have other migraines in the future but that would be a different migraine altogether. This isn't me anymore. To all the friends that I've made in here and to my old self, I bid you adieu...

P.S.
Will be posting a re-direct to wherever soon. Will probably keep this blog for posterity. :)

I am Sith

To become a Jedi requires the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. Adherents to the Jedi way closely follow an ancient code that guides their actions in the service of the Republic. It reads, in part:

There is no emotion; there is peace.
There is no ignorance; there is knowledge.
There is no passion; there is serenity.
There is no death; there is the Force.

Wala lang.

Pet Peeve

I don't really think that the philippines is that backward. I don't think it is backward AT ALL. So can anybody tell me what's wrong with the following chat conversation?

I know I could've been a lot nicer but it's past 1AM and I'm tired and I had very little patience.

A Post Script on my Mom's Operation

In fairness to the good doctors of Ospital ng Muntinlupa who operated on my mom, upon further research it turns out that it wasn't at all medieval (like I referred to in a previous post). The doctors performed what is called a Laparoscopic Exploratory Surgery. According to the Surgical Specialists of Hazelton web site, Exploratory laparoscopy has often been used for diagnostic purposes to view the abdomen after abdominal trauma and in cases of abdominal illness.

Laparoscopy is a term given to a group of operations that are performed with the aid of a camera placed in the abdomen. Originally, the laparoscope was used during surgical removal of the gallbladder (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) and appendix (laparoscopic appendectomy). You could read more about it here.

Given the condition my mom was in when she got to the hospital, I guess It would've taken too long to run tests and bloodwork and MRIs and CT scans when all the symptoms pointed to a ruptured appendix. I guess my dad knew better, being a veterinarian and knowledgable in these matters and he was there to discuss it with the doctors. Please excuse me if you're eating while reading this but what happened was that my mom's appendix did already rupture when she was brought to the hospital and the pus was all over her insides, so the doctors had to make a bigger incision than what the surgery called for since they had to take out her intestines and clean them up to prevent further infection before putting them all back in. Ugh.

Anyway, my mom's ok now. I'll have another post script to this post script later. About my sister's harrowing experience with the Ospital ng Muntinlupa. I just need to run off somewhere for now. Later!
