I believe that there will always be time for everything, and now is the most opportune moment to finally say good-bye to my LJ blog. This also means that this is going to be my last post for this year ( Read more... )

Over dinner, Bernard pointed out to me that half of this year was filled with doctor's visit. He was right. The latest just happened a while ago, when I had to go to the dentist because of the pesky swollen gums. It didn't stop me from eating, but it's definitely quite bothersome. It didn't help that I do have history of swollen gums, especially if ( Read more... )

Almost the entire week, our lives revolved around a very sad news. It seems like my lolo's prostate cancer is becoming more pronounced. There's no way for us to know what's happening, but there's a good chance it's already spreading to his bones ( Read more... )

I already got the results for breast and whole abdomen ultrasounds, and thank God they came out normal. I will just have to wait for my chest X-ray. For those who express their concerns, don't be. :-) These are just included in my annual routine check-up. Yes, I will make it my own crusade to monitor my health at least once a year. For me, it's one ( Read more... )

I woke up today not being able to swallow properly. "Something" seemed lodged in my throat. Of course, my paranoia set in again, and my mind drifted off to a lot of medical conditions and terms too many to mention here. Yet I don't want to dwell on the pain right now because, in general, my morning has never been this great for the past few days ( Read more... )

According to Livejournal, I have not posted anything for the last five weeks. Has it been that long? Perhaps I have definitely gone into seclusion. I haven't talked much in Yahoo Messenger either. I haven't met a lot of friends for more than a month, and I have not done a lot of work. In fact, I reduced them ( Read more... )

There are two people who influenced me greatly when it comes to my admiration toward Japanese culture: Bernard and Dothe. Bernard, a great lover of Asian films, has introduced me to Itchi the Killer, Grudge, Audition, and Ran, to name a few. Dothe, on the other hand, cultivated my great love for J-pop music. If it weren't for him, I would not have ( Read more... )
