On My Staying Healthy List

Mentioning about this staying healthy list does not mean that this is on my top list (I am still on defensive mode). Some young people do not value the benefit of maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle. I once belonged to this group of populace. As a health care provider I was very certain on what to do and that I can recognize any disease or disorder that could inflict me or anyone in the family. So I couldn’t care much on the variety of food I eat or if I sit on my booty or lie down for a day or two. Now, my views had changed. I decided to change gradually starting with my healthier food choices and routine physical activities.
 I am starting to jog which I really hated before. I hated the idea of running basically because I considered my self clumsy. I am afraid that I would step on my own foot or just stumble. Second I don’t like the idea of shaking my anatomical areas when I ran. Third, I may grasp for air, I love to maintain my constant O2 (oxygen) supply.  My fear of hyperventilation and asphyxia does not help, I m scared I would pass out due to lack of air and palpitations. Fourth, I love my feet! Etc. etc. of dislikes, and my dislikes list may go on and on. But hey! I still decided to give it a try. I wanted to be on top form. I want change. I want it therefore I shall have it and I shall get the better of it!

The Notebook Experience

The Notebook Experience by  Chel Bundalian  on Wednesday, August 10, 2011 at 7:25pm I saw an old couple's picture and I was suddenly reminded with a patient of mine... 60+ year old male patient, and his wife with him in the room. Usually just the two of them. The wife was in an advance stage of Alzheimers dse. One time, the door was left open and I saw the wife going away, alone, so I chased after her and asked her where she was going. She told me she's going to visit her husband in the hospital. I told her that she's in this hospital already and I asked her to come with me. She stopped at the door watching her husband (He was just diagnosed with cancer) She told me "Naaawa ako sa matanda, lolo ko syah" and I can see the look on her face, she was fighting her teardrops not to fall. I asked her to come in and when the husband saw her I can see the worried look on his face. The wife came closer and took his hands,  she said "Kumusta ka na? Pagaling ka ha?...

Mary's Make Up Evolution

Make up was never my thing. I was and still is a late bloomer as compared to the younger generation.Watching Youtube almost everyday, I was quite surprise that expert make-up tutorials were made by kids as young as eleven or twelve. Recently, I watched Talia Joy Castellano (RIP pretty girl!) in her Youtube videos < http://www.youtube.com/user/taliajoy18 > and I was quite fascinated by her love of make up and making tutorials. Never did I saw her with a trace of sickness, what I see is a happy lovely girl with a contagious smile. I guess she is now an inspiration to all kids and teen out there and no exception, to me as well. She opened my mind that art and expression is not just limited on canvasses.                                                                     I once was a little girl whom ...
